The Scumbag Attackers Regretted It Deeply After My Death - Chapter 13
When Yao Anna walked out, her gaze fell on the Alpha, and she was slightly startled. Subconsciously, she looked away and glanced around.
Where was the lawyer Pei Congling sent? Didn’t she say they were waiting downstairs?
The Alpha narrowed her eyes slightly. She raised the photo in her hand and briefly compared it with the woman who had just walked out of the hotel. She could almost confirm that this was the person she was waiting for!
She turned and got into her car, driving it until it stopped in front of Yao Anna. She slowly lowered the car window on the passenger side.
“Are you Yao Anna?”
The woman in front of her had long, black, silky hair. Her small, delicate face was mostly covered by sunglasses. Her sexy, slightly plump lips were painted with striking lipstick, fiery red and very alluring. She wore a black, form-fitting, V-neck short sleeve top, which made her slender waist appear even more graspable, and leather shorts on the bottom, revealing long, straight legs—both wild and dashing!
“It’s me. And you are…?”
Yao Anna paused, raised her hand to remove the sunglasses from her nose, and fixed a puzzled look on the Alpha’s tan, handsome face.
What a cool girl!
Could this person be the one Pei Congling sent?
The Alpha saw her exquisite, beautiful face and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Two phrases suddenly surfaced in her mind: skin as white as snow, and eyes as picturesque.
She pursed her lips and said calmly, “Hello, Miss Yao. My name is Shen Xi, and I am the legal counsel for Pei Corporation.”
It really is her?!
A hint of surprise flashed in Yao Anna’s eyes. She had never expected the cool girl who looked like a special forces soldier to be the star lawyer Pei Congling had talked about. She raised an eyebrow, stopped lingering, pulled open the car door, and got in.
“Yao Anna,” the Omega introduced herself simply.
Shen Xi gave a slight nod and drove the car toward the Yao family residence. She stared straight ahead and said indifferently, “Congling has already told me the specific situation regarding Miss Yao. I will cooperate with you to help you secure the shares of the Yao Corporation.”
Yao Anna nodded and couldn’t help but secretly glance at the Alpha next to her. She looked like someone with quick reflexes and skill. She secretly clicked her tongue. Pei Congling was formidable. Sending a lawyer like this to the Yao house with her—anyone who didn’t know might think she had hired a bodyguard. She estimated that Old Man Yao Guangming wouldn’t dare to act recklessly again!
The drive was silent.
Half an hour later, the black Humvee steadily stopped at the entrance of the Yao residence. Shen Xi was also a person of few words. She honked the horn twice, signaling the old man guarding the gate to open it. The old man hadn’t seen this Humvee before and walked over aggressively. Just as he was about to say something, the car window lowered, and Shen Xi glanced at him coldly, her arm resting on the window, revealing her strong muscles. She looked like she could punch and kill several of him.
The old man was instantly silenced:
“May I ask who you are, sir/madam?”
At that moment, Yao Anna slightly opened her red lips and greeted, “Old Liu, open the door. It’s me.”
“Miss!”
When Old Liu saw it was Yao Anna, he was slightly surprised. He quickly responded and smoothly pushed the gate open, making way.
Shen Xi drove the car in and casually parked it in the middle of the garden. She got out and followed Yao Anna toward the villa.
“Ding dong.” The doorbell rang. It was Zheng Xiulan who came to open the door. The moment she saw Yao Anna, she grasped her hands with a warm, motherly smile.
“Anna, you’ve finally come home! Your father has been so worried about you. Hurry, come inside… and who is this?”
Only then did Zheng Xiulan notice the Alpha, nearly six feet tall, standing behind Yao Anna. She paused slightly and looked at Yao Anna in confusion.
Yao Anna frowned, pulling her hands out of the woman’s grasp. Sensing the disgust in Yao Anna’s eyes, Shen Xi silently took a pack of wet wipes from her pocket and handed them to Yao Anna.
“Here, for sterilization and disinfection.”
Yao Anna raised her eyebrow, gave Shen Xi a satisfied look, took out a wipe, and carefully cleaned her fingertips.
“This is the lawyer I hired, Shen Xi, Lawyer Shen.”
A lawyer? Zheng Xiulan was skeptical, her look suggesting, are you sure she’s not a thug? She shifted her gaze from Shen Xi back to Yao Anna. The Omega finished cleaning her hands, then casually tossed the used wet wipe onto Zheng Xiulan, her attitude quite cold.
“Where is Yao Guangming?”
This provocative and disdainful action instantly changed Zheng Xiulan’s face. She could no longer maintain her gentle and loving persona.
“The Master… is waiting for you in the living room.”
“Oh.”
Yao Anna nodded, pushed Zheng Xiulan aside, and walked toward the living room. Shen Xi followed with long strides, her whole body radiating a cold aura that left Zheng Xiulan angry but speechless.
Yao Guangming was sitting on the sofa, passing the time with a financial newspaper. Hearing the noise from the doorway, he raised his head with a stern face and saw Yao Anna, dressed all in black as if she were mourning, walking toward him.
His face involuntarily darkened. He glanced coldly at Shen Xi, who was following her closely, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, “You unfilial daughter! You bring a bodyguard or thug when you come home, is that it?”
He raised his hand and pointed at Shen Xi, glaring furiously, “Who allowed you to come in? You, get out!”
“You have no right to kick me out. I followed Miss Yao in, and I am not a bodyguard.”
Shen Xi’s expression was icy. She took a black, gold-embossed business card from her pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and slid it toward Yao Guangming.
Not a bodyguard? Yao Guangming took the business card skeptically, looked at it, and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Well, well, she was indeed not a bodyguard, but a lawyer hired by Yao Anna?!
Yao Anna sat down heavily on the two-seater sofa opposite Yao Guangming. She patted the sofa next to her, signaling Shen Xi to sit down. Shen Xi didn’t hesitate and sat down beside her naturally.
The originally spacious sofa suddenly seemed crowded with Shen Xi sitting there. Her athletic physique made Yao Anna appear extremely small and delicate in comparison.
“You unfilial daughter, what are you trying to do by bringing a lawyer back?!”
Yao Guangming slammed the newspaper onto the coffee table, seething with anger.
Yao Anna lifted her eyelids. With her arms crossed, she was too lazy to waste words on Yao Guangming. “Where is the equity transfer agreement?”
“Are you serious? Yao Anna, I warn you…”
Before Yao Guangming could finish, Yao Anna cut him off with eyes as sharp as knives, saying coldly, “I’m here to sign the contract. If you talk any more nonsense, I won’t hesitate to expose everything on Weibo right now!”
Seeing the Omega’s firm and cold face, Yao Guangming choked. His eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn’t help but wonder.
Does Yao Anna really have dirt on Zhen Zhen?
Just then, hearing the movement downstairs, Yao Zhenzhen descended from the second floor. Seeing Yao Anna sitting with a strange Alpha, she pursed her lips and walked over: “Sister.”
Zheng Xiulan also returned from the doorway. She walked up to Yao Zhenzhen and looked deeply at Yao Anna, trying to persuade her: “Anna, we are all a family. Why make such a scene? And your sister already knows she was wrong. Don’t worry, she has promised me that she will never try to steal your female lead role again.”
Compared to the pitiful Yao Zhenzhen, Zheng Xiulan’s persuasion made Yao Anna appear quite unreasonable!
“Don’t call me sister. I don’t have a manipulative sister like you.”
Yao Anna let out a low sneer. Her gaze coldly swept across Zheng Xiulan’s hypocritical face and landed on Yao Guangming opposite her. Seeing the old man’s angry expression, she scoffed inwardly. Did this Zheng Xiulan really think she was the same person as before?
In her previous life, after losing her birth mother, she cared deeply about Yao Guangming’s opinion of her. As for Zheng Xiulan, she always presented one face in public and another in private. In front of Yao Guangming, she pretended to be concerned and affectionate towards her, but if she truly was, why was she constantly plagued by nightmares, often dreaming of her deceased mother?
It was because in her previous life she cared about Yao Guangming’s opinion that she was restrained everywhere. While her attitude towards Zheng Xiulan was decent—though she couldn’t bring herself to call her ‘Mother,’ she usually called her ‘Aunt Zheng’—Zheng Xiulan was privately always on Yao Zhenzhen’s side.
Based on her understanding of the foolish Yao Zhenzhen, it was impossible for Yao Zhenzhen to come up with such a comprehensive plan to frame her on her own. Yao Zhenzhen must have had a mastermind guiding her, and as for that mastermind…
It was either Zheng Xiulan or Jiang Nian’an. There was no one else.
In her previous life, she truly cared about Yao Guangming, which is why she was constantly manipulated. But to her now, Yao Guangming was just a piece of shit she wished to stay away from as far as possible. Why would she still care about the opinion of a piece of shit?
She didn’t care, but that didn’t mean the dogs who liked to eat shit didn’t care. In any case, she found Zheng Xiulan and Yao Zhenzhen to be quite concerned.
Yao Zhenzhen froze, pouted, and her eyes instantly turned red. She said tearfully, “Sister, how could you say that about me? I know you’re still angry with me, but we are sisters after all. Blood is thicker than water. Do you know how much pain I feel when you say things like that?”
“Oh, then you can just keep feeling the pain.”
Yao Zhenzhen: “…”
Just then, a light laugh suddenly came from behind. Hearing this familiar laugh, Yao Anna felt her scalp prickle.
Yet, the owner of the voice clearly had no intention of letting her off. Familiar footsteps approached and stopped beside her. The Alpha’s imposing voice came from above her head.
“Miss Yao is so impressive, defying everything and everyone, even your own family. I’ve learned something new today.”
Seeing no escape, Yao Anna looked up, meeting Jiang Nian’an’s intriguing dark eyes. She smiled insincerely, “Not at all, not at all. I just couldn’t help but confront CEO Jiang’s sweetheart. My apologies.”
Sweetheart?
The amusement faded from Jiang Nian’an’s eyes. Her beautiful eyes slightly chilled. She glanced coldly at Yao Anna, walked over to the single-seater sofa on Yao Anna’s left, and sat down calmly. “I underestimated Miss Yao’s sharp tongue.”
“You flatter me, you flatter me.”
Yao Anna hadn’t come here to argue with Jiang Nian’an. Although she didn’t know why Jiang Nian’an was here, she scanned the unhappy faces of everyone present. Except for the expressionless Shen Xi sitting beside her, all the enemies who led to her tragic end in her previous life were gathered together!
Tsk.
Interesting.
