After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 58
Old Man Shi was so angry that his heart was beating wildly on the spot. The cane he held in his hand slammed into the ground hard. His angry voice burst through his teeth, “Presumptuous! Are you two brothers trying to anger me to death?“
When Shi Yunnan heard his usual repressive remark, he hummed indifferently and casually.
Your body is so tough, how can you be angered to death by others?
Xie Keyue was the first to ask the waiter to bring a chair and helped Old Man Shi to sit down, “Grandpa, don’t get angry.”
He looked at the two brothers on and off the stage and continued to keep up his virtuous behavior, “Big brother, second brother, it’s not easy for our family to hold such a banquet. You shouldn’t make such jokes; so many people are watching us.”
Xie Keyue had long guessed that Shi Yunnan wouldn’t “give in” so easily, but he didn’t expect that Wen Yibei, who had always treated people gently, would actually do such an outrageous thing.
But that’s fine.
The more the brothers make this situation difficult, the more the old man will resent them in the future. The only person who will end up with a good bargain is him.
Thinking of this, Xie Keyue immediately gave his mother a wink.
Xie Wei seized the opportunity and immediately blurted out accusations, “I knew you two brothers didn’t have good intentions! Knowing that the old man will announce his handover of management rights to Xiao Yue, the two of you aren’t reconciled!”
Xie Wei deliberately exposed the matter before old man Shi’s announcement, in an attempt to “turn raw rice into cooked rice1.”
Old Man Shi sensed her intentions, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his anger.
At the same time, the silent guests reacted.
It turned out that the purpose of Shi’s banquet today was really to announce that the third young master is about to take over the management of the company?
No wonder the two brothers, Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan, would come over. The three of them are the nominal young masters of the Shi family. Who can watch the family business being taken over by another person?
Moreover, they weren’t born of the same mother.
Although the fact that Xie Keyue is Shi Sheng’s “illegitimate child” has become a tacit fact, there must be a reasonable excuse on the bright side, right?
Old Man Shi suddenly let Xie Keyue take charge of the company alone. It’s really too eccentric!
“Choosing this date to hold a banquet? If it’s anyone else, us brothers naturally don’t care, but you—”
Wen Yibei walked off the stage, and his eyes were cold as never before when he passed Shi Sheng, “Do you Shi family still have any respect for my mother?”
“…..”
Shi Sheng was silent, and a belated guilt rose in his heart.
This day was personally selected by Xie Wei, and the other party kept pointing out that today was an auspicious day for a banquet, which might help the Shi family’s feng shui development in the future.
It has been almost twenty years since his ex-wife died. How could he still remember the other party’s birthday? If he remembered, he would definitely not choose this day, so as not to be criticized by others!
However, when Shi Sheng thought about it, he realized Xie Wei must have deliberately chosen this date out of pettiness.
He frowned and said, “Xie Wei, this is indeed your negligence.”
Xie Wei has some acting skills. She heard her husband’s accusation and burst into tears.
“It’s a misunderstanding, ah! I only entered Shi’s house after Wen Min passed away. How would I know her birthday?“
Xie Wei kept defending herself, “Besides, there are so many days in a year; how can I know there would be such a coincidence?”
Wen Yibei walked to Shi Yunnan’s side. The two brothers looked at each other knowingly and deliberately gave up “the right to speak.”
A scum man is a match for a cheap woman.
They wanted to see how long this couple could put on a show.
Zhang Yun, as Xie Wei’s best friend, saw the guests’ different expressions and naturally spoke up for her good sister.
“Xie Wei has been handling the Shi family’s trivial matters over the years. Only this time something went wrong. It was nothing more than picking her birthday by mistake. She didn’t mean it.“
“Can it be that the living have to make way for the dead? Is there a need to make a fuss about something that is not taboo?“
Some guests nodded slightly, and there were whispered discussions in the crowd—
“However, does old man Shi really want to hand over full control of the Shi family to the third young master?“
“What about the eldest young master and the second young master? They don’t get any share?”
Hearing such words, Zhang Yun spoke up first on behalf of Xie Wei, saying, “Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei feel that the old man is biased, and everyone as an outsider will inevitably have this idea as well.”
“But think about it. Wen Yibei changed his surname and became the young master of the Wen family when he was a child. He has never come back during the new year or other holidays. Shi Yunnan has been staying abroad. After graduation, he never returned to help the Shi family.“
“On the contrary, Keyue has been with Old Man Shi year after year. He started working at Shi company as an intern when he was just a college student! And yet their mother and son are still criticized by outsiders.“
“If I have to say it, Old Master Shi and Mr. Shi naturally have the ability to distinguish between good and bad. After so many years, it’s time to publicly acknowledge the mother and child!“
Zhang Yun was blathering non-stop while Xie Wei continued to put on a show.
She looked extremely aggrieved, and even tears fell one by one, “I don’t feel wronged, but it’s Keyue, this child, who suffered the most. He came into Shi’s house late and was criticized everywhere he went.“
Shi Yunnan sneered.
The cooperation between these two women was really wonderful.
“The main reason why he was chastised is because he has an improper mother like you!”
Shi Yunnan spoke with anger, “You, Xie Wei, entered the Shi family and became Mrs. Shi in the eyes of outsiders, but do you think you can clean up the dirty things of the past?”
“You know full well that you’re committing adultery. Now that things have come to this point, what kind of chastity arch2 are you setting up for yourself now?“
“…..”
Shi Sheng and Xie Wei froze at the same time.
These words directly pierced through their shameful disguise over the years, even though this thin layer of shame had already been broken and was transparent to all.
Shi Yunnan continued sarcastically, “You don’t think that by not admitting it back then and having everyone acquiesce to it now, you can keep the Shi family’s face, do you?”
Wen Yibei shook his head ridiculously, followed by questioning, “Our biological mother died unexpectedly when we were seven years old. Your mother and son entered Shi’s house within half a year, but Xie Keyue is one year younger than us.“
“If he wasn’t the child born from your adultery and the blood of the Shi family, would the old man be willing to hand over the management of the Shi family to him?”
Shi Yunnan’s sharp questioning was backed up by Wen Yibei’s rational analysis.
At a glance, it is clear who is right and who is wrong.
The voice of discussion is rising again.
Old Man Shi slammed his cane and said, “That’s enough! I agreed to hold the banquet today!“
He looked at the two brothers with extremely disappointed and angry eyes and said, “What kind of occasion is this? You two brothers came with the intent to cause trouble?“
“Let me ask you this: Do you still remember that you are the blood of the Shi family?”
“Yibei is out of the question, but you, Shi Yunnan, how about you? Which of your food and clothing expenses from childhood to adulthood was not the money of the Shi family? I didn’t expect to raise such a white-eyed wolf.“
“When the Shi family was in a financial crisis, where were your two brothers?”
The more Old Man Shi thought about it, the angrier he became. Xie Keyue saw the opportunity and bent down to smooth his back without saying a word.
Seeing this, Old Man Shi felt a little consolation under his anger.
“Only Keyue, this younger brother you look down on, is helping me and your father with all the work! That’s why I plan to hand over the management of the Shi company to Keyue!“
Mr. Shi raised his cane in anger and said, “Get out! Get out of here now! The Shi family will no longer recognize you two brothers as of today! I’ll pretend I don’t have grandsons like you two!“
When Xie Keyue heard this, a slight and brief smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He won this battle without needing to use his mouth, so he felt incomparably happy!
Who doesn’t know that Old Man Shi is the one who wants to save face the most?
Who couldn’t guess that Shi Sheng and Xie Wei had hooked up long ago and had given birth to their extra-marital son?
The relationship between the rich and powerful has always been both prudent and chaotic. Even if you know some facts, you shouldn’t shout them out.
This is just great.
Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei thought they were standing on the moral high ground and forcibly put the Shi family’s faces on the ground. They made Old Man Shi angry, and from now on, they can completely say goodbye to the Shi family’s property.
As long as the Shi family and the private property are his, he still has a reason to argue: so what if he’s an extra-marital child? After all, a baby can’t choose their own origins.
When Xie Wei heard Old Man Shi’s speech, she was instantly full of confidence, “Where’s the waiter! Call the security guards for me immediately! Kick them out!“
As soon as her words fell, a calm and steady voice sounded behind them, “Old Master Shi, the people who really disgraced you were never these two brothers. I’m afraid you are still kept in the dark about some truths.“
The guests at the scene saw the person who was coming and were all shocked.
Shi Yunnan’s lips curled slightly, and he quickly walked up to greet Luo Lingsheng, “What took you so long?”
“I’m late because of the traffic jam.”
The two exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and these words were clearly said to the guests present on purpose.
Luo Lingsheng came late, naturally, because he had arranged a “special event.”
“Why is the Luo family here?”
“What kind of relationship does he have with Second Young Master Shi? He can be counted as half of the Shi family, right? It’s normal for him to come.“
“In the end, it’s still Old Man Shi who has the face. He hasn’t held a banquet for several years. Now he can even invite this big Buddha when he holds one.“
As everyone whispered, Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan approached the center of the crowd.
“Please forgive me for coming here uninvited, Old Master Shi.” Luo Lingsheng’s tone did not contain any hint of apology.
Thinking of the relationship between these two, Old Man Shi struggled to swallow his rage and felt strangely suffocated.
He said politely, “Patriarch Luo, why are you here?”
“Before Yunnan went out, he told me to come pick him up at around this time to go back to the Luo house.”
His words were calm and undisturbed, but in fact, he made sure to include Shi Yunnan under the scope of his protection.
What is the status of the Luo family?
What is the relationship between Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng?
With Luo Lingsheng here, who would dare to “kick” Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei out?
Support me on Ko-fi !

In traditional Chinese practice, a chastity arch was set up to honor widowed women and discourage their remarriage. They are instead encouraged to live a life of “virtuous chastity” and be loyal to their late husbands.
The guests looked at each other, secretly waiting for the next development.
Even if Old Man Shi favored Xie Keyue and disliked Shi Yunnan, he shouldn’t have said anything on the spot! Wouldn’t this indirectly eliminate their chance of getting support from the Luo family?
“Patriarch Luo, what do you mean by saying that there is still some ‘truth’?” Someone hidden among the guests smelled a tinge of gossip and asked the question.
Luo Lingsheng didn’t want to steal Shi Yunnan’s “job” and motioned to him to continue with his eyes.
Shi Yunnan hooked his lips, “Everyone has already heard it. Just now, Old Man Shi wanted to cut ties with me and my brother. After that, whether the Shi family is dead or alive, prosperous or disgraced, has nothing to do with us.“
This can be regarded as a response to Old Man Shi’s approach.
These two brothers didn’t care about the Shi family at all!
“…..”
Xie Keyue looked at Luo Lingsheng’s line of sight, and his heart thumped. He always felt that the situation wasn’t good.
If the matter concluded after Old Man Shi drove them both away, Xie Keyue felt that he had won a big victory, but now he felt a sense of crisis that “this is just the beginning,” as if Shi Yunnan had just finished setting up his final move.
The next second, Shi Yunnan said, “Qin Jian, please connect the projector.”
Qin Jian, who had been prepared for a long time, responded. He gestured to Yuan Meng, and quickly walked to the computer equipment table next to the projector.
Xie Wei still has some ability to observe words and expressions. Seeing that Old Man Shi and her husband did not refuse, she had to take a step forward and said, “Wait, you are an outsider…”
Before she could stop Qin Jian, Yuan Meng stepped forward in tacit understanding, twisting her arm and pulling her back several steps.
Yuan Meng used to be in the military and his arm strength wasn’t light.
Xie Wei is used to being a pampered wealthy lady, how can she withstand such a violent force? Her arm turned red in an instant, and the pain made her tears well up.
Zhang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help her and questioned Yuan Meng, “Who are you? What are you doing to a weak lady?“
“Weak lady?” Shi Yunnan seemed to have heard something interesting.
He motioned Yuan Meng to step back as he took two steps forward to look at the two sisters who had “deep affection” and said, “Zhang Yun, you yourself are also a mistress. That’s why you get along especially well with Xie Wei, right?”
The sharp words were like a slap that smacked the two women in the face.
Zhang Yun’s face turned red, and she obviously didn’t expect to draw fire upon herself, “Shi Yunnan, you are so young. Why are you full of nonsense and slander?”
“Is that so? I was just about to say that Mrs. Zhang Yun, as an outsider, knows a lot about the Shi family’s affairs.“
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows. His words contained some other meaning, “I was just wondering if Xie Wei, as your best friend, knows as much about your family as well?“
Snap.
The projection screen turns on.
Qin Jian walked back quickly and handed the tablet connected to the projection to Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan looked around and started the long-awaited game, “Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘a leopard cannot change its spot and a human innate nature is hard to correct’? I’ll give you some photos to enjoy here.“
As soon as his voice fell, several high-definition photos were displayed on the screen on the stage.
Without exception, they were intimate photos of a man and a woman.
The moment the photos were shown, the audience exclaimed.
Old Man Shi and Xie Keyue’s faces stiffened one after another, and Shi Sheng, who always showed a calm expression, showed an indescribable anger.
Because the woman in the photo is none other than Xie Wei!
“…..”
Xie Wei’s whole figure was fixed in place as if a spell had been cast on her. No amount of delicate makeup could hide the panic on her face.
She swallowed and tried to calmly defend herself, “No, this must be photoshopped!”
Shi Yunnan sneered and ignored Xie Wei’s rebuttal, “Don’t you want to know who’s the man in this photo?”
Shi Sheng fixed his eyes on the photos, and at long last he recognized the man. His face suddenly turned ashen!
But before he could have a fit, Zhang Yun, the “good sister,” slapped Xie Wei fiercely in front of everyone’s eyes, “Xie Wei, you shameless b*tch!”
“I regard you as my good sister! I’m there for you everywhere! But you treat me like this?!“
Once these words were spoken, how could the people present still not understand? One after another, sarcastic and taunting remarks kept ringing.
You’re already married, yet you’re still in a relationship with the husband of your best friend, who also happens to be a mistress?
These people are already in their 40s and 50s. How can they be so debauched and shameless!
Zhang Yun seemed to feel that a slap was not enough to relieve her anger, so she slapped Xie Wei hard again.
Xie Wei was without the support of others this time. Wearing high heels, she immediately broke her ankle and fell to the ground.
There was a dull pain in her ankle, and the increasingly heavy heart palpitations caused her forehead to be full of sweat.
A trace of disgust flashed in Xie Keyue’s eyes, but he still had to help her because of the relationship between mother and son. However, he heard Shi Yunnan say, “Zhang Yun, your best friend has ‘helped’ you more than this time.”
“She knew that your husband had no children and was tired of your arrogance, so she found a young and well-behaved lover for him. Every time she asked you out for tea and shopping, it was the day when your husband and his little lover would privately meet up.“
Another set of pictures appeared on the screen. It was Zhang Yun’s husband as well as a woman whose face was mosaicked.
The most crucial thing is that the latter’s small abdomen is slightly bulging.
“By the way, the other party is pregnant at the moment.”
“In the past month or two, Xie Wei couldn’t resist getting together with your husband again. These photos are quite recent. If you need to identify their authenticity, I can send you the original pictures for free.“
Shi Yunnan shrugged his shoulders like a good person.
His eyes fell on Xie Keyue, and he indiscriminately attacked him, “How was it? If your mother were a few years younger, maybe she could give you another half-sibling.“
“…..”
Xie Keyue was silent for two seconds.
Quickly, he made an “unbelievably” hurt expression and removed himself cleanly.
“Mom, is this true? Can you live up to dad’s trust by doing so?“
Xie Wei looked up at the contemptuous eyes gathered around her and felt an unprecedented humiliation, the panic in her heart sweeping across her whole body.
Her ankles were already red and swollen, and it was so painful that she couldn’t stand up at all, so she had to crawl to the feet of her husband and son, “No, listen to me explain. I really, really…”
The words came to her lips, but she couldn’t say anything.
At first, she didn’t hook up with Zhang Yun’s husband!
Zhang Yun’s husband had no children, so he thought of divorcing Zhang Yun very early.
Xie Wei learned of this, and then found the other party and his little lover in an accidental chance encounter.
Zhang Yun’s husband was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so he took the initiative to give Xie Wei hush money of three million yuan.
Xie Wei was blinded by money, so she pretended that she didn’t see it, and later, Zhang Yun’s husband would use money to ask for Xie Wei’s help in order to meet his little lover privately.
In the course of contact, the two eventually hooked up.
But it’s only been about a month, and the number of times they have met can be counted on one finger! She was already very cautious. How could she still be discovered?
Xie Wei’s refusal to speak has become a proof of guilty conscience in the eyes of others.
Shi Sheng shook off her hand in disgust; the dignity of a man made him grit his teeth, “Get away from me!”
Seeing Shi Sheng’s angry appearance, Xie Keyue had to play it safe to protect himself. When he saw Xie Wei’s pleading gaze, the disgust in the depths of his pupils deepened.
How could he have such a vain and short-sighted mother?!
It’s not enough to be a mistress before, but now you’re still doing this ridiculous thing? You’ve already become a rich wife; what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Seeing herself being abandoned by her husband and seeing her son’s hidden attitude, Xie Wei felt as if she was being poured by a bucket of cold water, her heart falling into an ice cave.
Shi Sheng was dissatisfied with being “cuckolded” and needed to vent his anger, which she could understand.
But Xie Keyue is her son! Why didn’t he speak up for her at a time like this and let her be ridiculed by everyone? Is this her own son? He’s so cold and ruthless!
All these years of hard work can’t replace the child’s preference for himself.
Compared to Shi Yunnan and Wen Yibei’s love for Wen Min, Xie Wei suddenly felt that even if she had won a hundred steps against Wen Min, she would have lost completely on the “offspring” step!
Just as she was remorseful, Xie Wei’s scalp suddenly hurt.
“Ahhh!”
The more Zhang Yun thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn’t resist moving her hands in front of everyone, “I will naturally deal with that pair of dog man and woman when I go back! But I must settle this account with you first!“
“Xie Wei! You shameless woman! Other people don’t know, but how could I not know?“
“How many men have you slept with since you broke up with Shi Sheng?”
“Seeing Shi Sheng coming back to find you, you pretended to be pure and understanding while saying you didn’t want any status, yet you deliberately provoked Wen Min!”
“Wen Min suffered a heart attack that year, and she made a last distress call to Shi Sheng before she died! As a result, you two animals were busy having an affair in private, and you secretly hung up on her! ptooey!“
Having said this, everyone in the audience showed a shocked expression—
Oh my God! Is this a dog biting a dog and revealing the secret of the past?
Even though Mrs. Wen Min’s body was not good, wasn’t Xie Wei’s action an indirect homicide?
Xie Wei’s scalp was ripped into a sharp pain as she shrilly and helplessly screamed, “No! I didn’t! You guys are maliciously throwing dirt at me!”
Wen Yibei stared at Xie Wei with a hatred that had never been seen before, “Xie Wei! What you’ve done, you clearly know it in your heart!“
Shi Yunnan did not speak. His slightly drooping eyes were flooded with a light watery gleam.
Even though he had already learned the truth from Wen Yibei’s mouth, the moment he really heard Zhang Yun and Xie Wei admit it, he still felt a hundred thousand times worse for his late mother!
How could such a beautiful person be ruined by this pair of dog man and woman!
How could the other party step on her pain and suffering with peace of mind, sit in the position that should belong to her, and enjoy everything that was stolen!
Why?!
Luo Lingsheng wasn’t in the slightest bit interested in such filthy things; all his focus was on Shi Yunnan. He sensed his lover’s growing depression, and he maneuvered his wheelchair closer to him.
Luo Lingsheng, regardless of whether the crowd would pay attention, directly reached out and put his hand around Shi Yunnan’s. His slightly calloused fingers stroked his hand, silently giving him gentle comfort.
Shi Yunnan’s gaze dropped on their hands, and his gloomy mood finally improved for a moment.
He exhaled lightly and interlocked his lover’s fingers while coldly continuing to watch the drama unfold.
Old Man Shi never knew there was such a secret, and it was even exposed in public today!
They missed the best opportunity to dismiss the guests, and now they can only watch helplessly as they lose face.
For a time, Old Man Shi had no choice but to vent all his anger on his son, “Shi Sheng! This is the good daughter-in-law you found!“
Shi Sheng felt slightly guilty amidst his anger, causing him to be unable to meet his father’s gaze.
His guilty conscience is that when Wen Min suffered a heart attack, he and Xie Wei were indeed doing something intimate.
What shocked him was that Xie Wei hung up the call without telling him!
This snake-hearted woman!
There are so many eyes staring at him. If he doesn’t do anything at this moment, he is afraid that he will be laughed at by other rich and powerful families afterwards.
They must now divorce each other!
Shi Sheng’s chest rose and fell for a moment, and he shouted, “Xie Wei! The most cruel thing is the heart of a woman! Today I’ve seen your true face. We’ll divorce tomorrow!“
Before the lingering sound fell to the ground, another loud and mocking voice sounded from the crowd.
“Divorce? You, Shi Sheng, dare to mention divorce?“
“I think you two scum and sl*t are a perfect match! Don’t harm other families and innocent people!“
It’s not over yet (⌐■_■)
