Chapitre 8: A Chance To Scheme

In the Zhao Enterprise building.

'Pang!'

A loud clattering of folders and a stack of papers fell off on the floor as a beautiful woman angrily screamed.

"Why didn't you tell me that she was released!" Zhao Shuxin furiously asked the lawyer who was handling Yan Xiaoran's case.

Lawyer Yu evaded the folders thrown at him and calmly said, "I already notified you about this a year ago while you were in Canada, President Zhao. I even sent a few emails to your assistant and didn't receive a reply and thought you're letting things be."

Zhao Shuxin's brows knitted tightly together. She actually remembered her assistant constantly telling her that Lawyer Yu sent some emails to her, however, she was away and enjoying her honeymoon at that time that Zhao Shuxin was unable to put it in her mind and refused to be disturbed from both work and other things.

It was until she recently arrived in Mainland, China that she personally met Lawyer Yu and heard of this news.

She was confident that Yan Xiaoran would rot behind bars for 10 years but now, she's been released, Zhao Shuxin's good mood has gone and her face creased into a tense one.

"Do you have methods to bring her back to the prison?" Zhao Shuxin raised her head and looked hopefully towards Lawyer Yu.

Which Lawyer confidently said, "Of course."

Zhao Shuxin released a sigh of relief but it didn't last long as Lawyer Yu continued, "However, this time, it will be hard since there's someone backing Yan Xiaoran."

"What do you mean?"

"Three years ago, I heard from some colleague of mine that someone spoke to the judge to lessen the sentence of Yan Xiaoran to three years and it was only last year that the decision was finalized and passed to the court which was accepted soon after. You even bribed the court to make sure Yan Xiaoran wouldn't escape punishment so, you must know what I'm saying."

"Someone was doing something behind the scenes. Is what you want to say."

"Perhaps so, and this person has a very huge influence on the court that the large sum of money you sent to them wasn't enough to stop them from passing the order to lessen Yan Xiaoran's sentence."

As if she was struck with lightning, Zhao Shuxin plopped on her chair with a gloomy face, "What should I do?"

Zhao Shuxin worked hard to send Yan Xiaoran to the prison even knowing that in this lifetime, Yan Xiaoran didn't do anything to harm her at all. It was just that Zhao Shuxin wanted to get her revenge for what happened in her past life and thus, she ended up looking for every way that would block Yan Xiaoran's way to live a happy and secure life.

In her past life, Yan Xiaoran continued to get in her way and even tried to harm Zhao Shuxin countless times already and died once. However, in this life, her second life was meant to make Yan Xiaoran pay for her crimes in Zhao Shuxin's past life.

However, it was a difficult path since Yan Xiaoran became a completely different person from the Yan Xiaoran in her last life that Zhao Shuxin was unable to get any proof of her crimes.

Yan Xiaoran remained aloof to her taunts and didn't do things as she did in Zhao Shuxin's past life.

Fortunately, Zhao Shuxin found another way to make Yan Xiaoran pay and send her to prison. Zhao Shuxin fabricated all evidence and got someone to become the witnesses to the 'evilness' of Yan Xiaoran.

She made it appear in their perspective that Yan Xiaoran was a scheming bitch and a horrible woman.

Of course, Zhao Shuxin knew that Yan Xiaoran didn't plan to kill her and was coincidentally in the same place as Zhao Shuxin when someone attacked her.

However, how could Zhao Shuxin let that chance slip from her hands? Hence, she pretended and accused Zhao Shuxin of attempted murder and was victorious in the end.

But with Yan Xiaoran's release, Zhao Shuxin was sure that Yan Xiaoran wanted revenge and would strike back.

"Lawyer Yu, what should I do?" Zhao Shuxin was never the clever one. She was only able to outwit Yan Xiaoran with the use of her past life and memories, but without that, she didn't have any confidence that she would win against Yan Xiaoran.

Lawyer Yu was also having a hard time.

He didn't know who was behind Yan Xiaoran that even his team leader and colleagues told him to not mess with Yan Xiaoran or else he would lose everything.

With Lawyer Yu's hesitation being seen by Zhao Shuxin, she suddenly said, "I'll pay you 3 times the amount I gave you. Just do something and send that woman back to prison. If you're successful, I'll even give you 5 percent of shares in my company."

Hearing that, Lawyer Yu's hesitation vanished into thin air as his heart leaped and danced around, "President Zhao, do you really mean that?"

"Yes."

Lawyer Yu licked his lips and looked like he was thinking about something before he suddenly said, "There's one method that could surely send that woman back to the prison."

Zhao Shuxin looked up with a hopeful look, "What is it?"

"In the past, we fabricated the evidence and successfully sent that woman to the prison. But this time, Yan Xiaoran has a strong backing behind her and this will be a tough battle."

Zhao Shuxin nodded in agreement, "So, what do you think is the best thing to do, Lawyer Yu?"

"Yan Xiaoran was just recently released and if there was a perfect timing to do things, this is it. We don't need to fabricate anything. This time, we need to stage something… Like, an ex-convict triying to kill the president of the Zhao Enterprise in revenge. This headline will be all over the country."

"What do you think, President Zhao?" Lawyer Yu added before looking straight at the beautiful woman who also looked at him with a bright smile on her face.


Chapitre 9: Mother's Affection

While Zhao Shuxin was planning something to send Yan Xiaoran back to the prison with Lawyer Yu, there was another person who was anxious at the news of Yan Xiaoran's release.

Inside the mansion of the Zhao family, Yu Jinyan paced back and forth in her room.

She bit the nail in her thumb, her habit when she was thinking of something and troubled.

The release of Yan Xiaoran wasn't spread among the socialites and in the public but the news arrived in front of Yu Jinyan.

And the moment, she heard of this piece of news from a message she got from her assistant, she became restless and didn't stay in the arms of her sleeping husband.

How was it possible that the brat was released in just 3 years? Yu Jinyan thought. She bit her lips and kept pacing back and forth.

Three years ago, she did everything to put all the blame on her own daughter, Yan Xiaoran. And escaped without the fire touching her.

And because of that she's still the magnanimous and humble Madame Zhao. She could still enjoy the money that her husband, Zhao Hanfeng, the current Chairman of the Zhao Enterprise, sends to her bank accounts and live inside the huge and beautiful mansion of the Zhao family.

However, with Yan Xiaoran's release, Yu Jinyan's grandiose and perfect life might be at the risk of falling apart.

Knowing Yan Xiaoran, Yu Jinyan knew that her daughter wouldn't let things be after what happened to her and would strike back at her mother without remorse since she was the one who caused all of it.

Hence, Yu Jinyan was extremely anxious and wanted to think of some ways to make Yan Xiaoran disappear before she could do something.

Suddenly, Yu Jinyan's phone received a call, startling Yu Jinyan out of her musing.

She went to look at the caller ID and saw her step-daughter's name was the one calling her.

Hesitating a little bit, Yu Jinyan sighed before finally putting the phone near her ear and answered cheerfully, "Xin Xin. What made you call?"

Her tone sounded cheerful but Yu Jinyan's eyes didn't look one bit cheerful and were frowning with anxiousness and fear.

She didn't know what made Zhao Shuxin call her and was nervous that this has something to do with what she did 3 years ago.

Before her worries could get another notch higher, Zhao Shuxin calmly replied on the other side of the phone about another matter, "Mrs. Zhao. Is my father with you right now?"

"No. Your father's in his office right now and didn't want to be disturbed." Yu Jinyan looked toward the sleeping man on her bed and lied, "Do you want me to tell him that you want to talk to him?"

The relationship between the step-mother and daughter was never the best but both could pretend like they were fine talking with each other on the phone.

"Is that so…" Zhao Shuxin mumbled then, continued, "Then, can you come out of the room for a little bit? I need to speak to you without anyone around you."

Yu Jinyan frowned but still complied with her step-daughter's words and went out of the bedroom. She closed the door silently and stepped into the long corridors of the second floor of the mansion.

"I'm alone now. What is it?" Yu Jinyan softly asked. Her eyes scanned the corridor to see if anyone would come out and hear their conversation.

"Yan Xiaoran was released from prison yesterday." Zhao Shuxin said, "Were you aware of that?"

"What?!" Yu Jinyan felt her heart stuck in her throat as she pretended clueless about her own daughter's release.

"Ahh… And here I thought you already knew and had something to do with it." Zhao Shuxin mumbled, "Guess I'm wrong."

"What are you talking about? Wasn't that sl*t's sentenced to 10 years of life in prison? How could she be released so soon?" Yu Jinyan exclaimed in disbelief.

Her voice sounded so shocked that even Yu Jinyan was pleasantly surprised that her voice matched her words that no one would suspect her from lying.

Of course, this was her talent that she nurtured for years that even her real daughter didn't realize that her mother would be the reason why she was sent to prison.

She hated that Zhao Shuxin found out that she was the one who planned to kill her that night, three years ago and was so afraid that she begged mercy from her.

And unexpectedly, Zhao Shuxin forgave her but also threatened her that she will let everyone know that Yu Jinyan was the real suspect if she doesn't do what she orders.

Yu Jinyan agreed to her condition and let Zhao Shuxin order her around like a dog.

She didn't know why Zhao Shuxin forgave her crimes but she understood one thing, Zhao Shuxin has deep hatred toward Yan Xiaoran and even if she knew the truth, she wouldn't spare Yan Xiaoran and do everything she could to take her down.

The moment Yan Xiaoran was sent to prison and was accused of attempted murder, Yu Jinyan was the quickest to severe her blood ties to her real daughter and started to call her a sl*t and publicly refused to accept that she had a daughter who was evil enough to attempt to kill her step-sister.

She even became a witness at the court hearings after she was threatened by Zhao Shuxin. Yu Jinyan worked hard to seduce Master Zhao Hanfeng and became Mrs. Zhao. She wanted to live in gold and bathe in money but if Zhao Shuxin told the world about her insidious crime, her hard-earned luxurious life would fall apart.

That was something that Yu Jinyan will never allow to happen.

And for the sake of being rid of any doubts towards her, she told everyone that Yan Xiaoran was the evil offspring she regretted to give birth from her previous marriage and blamed herself from not teaching her daughter some values and gained everyone's sympathy.

"You really don't know, do you?" Zhao Shuxin paused, "Her sentence was lessened to 3 years and was kept in secret until she was released. I don't know who made it happen since I was in Canada for my honeymoon. But then, I guess we're both clueless about this matter."

Zhao Shuxin and Yu Jinyan were the two people who drove Yan Xiaoran to the pit of hell. They didn't care about anything else and didn't care whether they're destroying someone else's life for their own satisfaction.

"Mrs. Zhao, I have a request in relation to this matter. Do you want to hear it?" Zhao Shuxin suddenly added.
