Shen Nanyi wisely chose to keep silent and turned to look elsewhere. She really had no mood to deal with Wang Yaozong.
"This must be your child, right? She's grown so big!" Being ignored by a child, Wang Yaozong was naturally in a bad mood, but he had to endure it for the time being.
Shen Nanyi was utterly confused. This guy in front of her had such a thick skin! She seemed to have never seen this person from childhood to now.
Zhao Shuyan didn't say a word. She silently opened the door and invited the guest in.
The elderly at home were out. Zhao Shuyan poured a glass of water for Wang Yaozong. Instead of speaking in a hurry, Wang Yaozong sized up Shen Yi's home.
The house was fully furnished when they moved in, and they had hardly changed anything. Wang Yaozong looked around for a long time but found nothing amiss.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air. Zhao Shuyan was extremely embarrassed and prayed for Shen Yi to come back quickly.
As if sensing Zhao Shuyan's prayer, Shen Yi finally parked the car and entered the house. He was holding the writing brush holder that Shen Nanyi had bought at Qian Jin's home, looking rather cautious.
The thing in his hand was worth over a million. If he accidentally dropped it, Shen Yi thought he would be heart - broken.
"What's that in your hand? Can I take a look?" Wang Yaozong was just worrying about not finding a chance to pick on them when he spotted the box in Shen Yi's hand.
One couldn't tell anything just by looking at the box, but seeing how carefully Shen Yi was holding it, he sensed something unusual.
"It's a kid's thing." Shen Yi silently put the thing aside and didn't intend to show it to Wang Yaozong.
"Do you have something to talk about today?" Shen Yi didn't like this kind of social interaction in the first place, and with his bad mood today, he didn't want to be polite to Wang Yaozong. He got straight to the point.
The expression on Wang Yaozong's face became visibly embarrassed. He didn't expect Shen Yi to be so direct. He sat there with his head down, not knowing how to start for a moment.
"Um... Can we discuss the money for the watch?" Thinking that his wife was still detained in the police station, Wang Yaozong finally decided to be thick - skinned.
They couldn't come up with over two million at once, but he couldn't just watch his wife suffer. He had no choice but to come and beg Shen Yi.
"..." After listening for a while, Zhao Shuyan finally understood what Wang Yaozong was here for. So it turned out that Mrs. Wang was Wang Yaozong's wife?
So Wang Yaozong actually came to ask them for a favor today? Even in such a situation, he had been sarcastic since he entered the door? Zhao Shuyan's view of the world was completely refreshed.
"We're all colleagues in the same unit. We'll see each other often. It's not good to make things too stiff, right?" Remembering that he was Shen Yi's superior, Wang Yaozong regained his confidence.
The tone that should have been a plea was actually spoken by Wang Yaozong in a condescending way.
Not only did Zhao Shuyan understand the implication, but Shen Yi did too. The expressions on the couple's faces turned completely unpleasant.
"We only have two hundred thousand at home. How expensive can a watch be? Two hundred thousand should be enough, right?" Seeing that Shen Yi and his wife didn't say a word, Wang Yaozong thought they had taken his words to heart, and his expression became even more complacent.
As he said this, he took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table, acting as if Shen Yi had taken a great advantage.
Shen Yi was completely stunned by Wang Yaozong's series of actions. What kind of strange logic was this?
Leaving aside the cost of the watch, had anyone ever seen someone buying something at cost price?
"This is the invoice. Please take a good look." By now, Shen Nanyi knew who Wang Yaozong was and that it was not easy for Shen Yi to offend him, so she took the initiative to stand up.
Anyway, she was just a child, and she could always find an excuse for whatever she did.
Glancing at his daughter, Shen Yi finally didn't stop her. It was true that he wasn't very capable, but he had his bottom line and knew he had to protect his family.
He couldn't just watch his family suffer and do nothing while also stopping others from acting.
The price was clearly written on the invoice on the table. Wang Yaozong couldn't say a word. After living for decades, he was actually slapped in the face by a little girl. One could imagine how he felt.
"Adult business has nothing to do with children. Shouldn't the child go back to her room?" Having been slapped in the face, all Wang Yaozong could do now was to minimize the loss.
"We don't have such a rule in our family. The child has the same right to speak as we do." At this critical moment, Shen Yi was quite forceful and didn't give Wang Yaozong any face at all.
One could say anything about him, but not about his daughter.
"Shen Yi, you've been in our department for a few years. Haven't you ever thought about getting promoted?" Having said this much, Wang Yaozong didn't care about anything anymore, and his words were really unpleasant.
"Section Chief Wang, what do you mean by that?" Holding Shen Nanyi in one arm, Shen Yi's face darkened.
It was true that he had been in the department for a few years, and it was also true that he hadn't been promoted in recent years. But the way Wang Yaozong said it was completely wrong. It seemed more like he was going to abuse his power.
"If Section Chief Wang is here to discuss the compensation issue with us today, we can negotiate properly. If you're talking about something else, we're a bit busy at home today and it's not convenient to receive guests. Please leave." Shen Yi stood up and made a gesture of invitation, clearly intending to drive the guest away.
Wang Yaozong didn't expect this family to be so tough. For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or stay.
He had wanted to use his status to suppress Shen Yi, but unexpectedly, the result was the opposite.
Not wanting to stay here any longer, Shen Nanyi returned to her room, leaving the adults to communicate outside.
Back in her room, Shen Nanyi skillfully took out her computer, opened the government website of City A, and directly clicked on the complaint section.
Shen Yi and his wife were good - tempered, but it didn't mean she was. Wang Yaozong had said such things. If she didn't do something, she would feel too aggrieved.
After that, Shen Nanyi didn't know what happened outside. She only heard the sound of something breaking, and then an argument started.
Jumping out of bed, Shen Nanyi rushed out. The scene outside made her a bit dumbfounded.
Should she say that Wang Yaozong was just too lucky or too unlucky? Such a low - probability thing actually happened to him?
It seemed that the previous price might not be able to solve the problem now. Slowing down her steps, Shen Nanyi walked out slowly.
