The next day.
After Shi Wan finished breakfast, the phone on the table kept vibrating. Glancing at the caller ID, she slowly picked up the phone.
"What?"
"Xiaowanwan, have you received the admission notice from the school?"
Admission notice?
A look of confusion flashed across Shi Wan's eyes. It took her a few seconds to remember that there seemed to be one before, but after receiving it, she didn't plan to go and had simply stored it away.
"I lost it."
Her straightforward words left the person on the other end of the phone momentarily speechless. "Xiaowanwan..."
She lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and said calmly, "Don't have any ideas about me. I'm busy making money and have no time."
"Money? You should have said so earlier!" The man on the other end said cheerfully, "Since you don't want to be a student at our school, then come and teach the students. I'll definitely pay you well."
Hearing this, she asked with interest, "How much?"
"You name it."
"Are you sure you want me to say?"
The man was momentarily speechless and said with an embarrassed smile, "Let me decide. If you come, I'll pay you 500,000 yuan a month. It's just a few classes. What do you think?"
He almost forgot that this girl was so money - minded. If she named a price, it would be like asking for his life.
"Ah—What's going on?!"
"I'll consider it. Bye."
A shrill scream came from outside. She narrowed her beautiful eyes, calmly hung up the phone, and got up to go out.
As soon as she went outside, she saw the Second Madam standing in horror at the renovated garden. Seeing her, the Second Madam walked over angrily.
"What's going on?" she demanded aggressively.
"I renovated it."
"Renovated it? What are you planting?"
The look in the Second Madam's eyes as she looked at her seemed as if she wanted to kill her thousands of times. Did this girl even know what was originally planted in the garden?
Those were the flowers that many people had begged for but couldn't get. The old master had gone to great lengths to find a few plants for Shen Siyan. He had been so precious about them that he only came to take a look when he was free. But this woman had destroyed them all.
"Chinese cabbages and such."
The Second Madam was so angry at her nonchalant attitude that she was half - dead, but she couldn't really do anything to her.
The old master already had an opinion of her. If she caused more trouble, she was afraid there would be no place for her in the Shen family.
"Second Aunt, do you have anything else?"
The Second Madam glared at her and gritted her teeth, "Can't I come if I have nothing to do? Shi Wan, no matter what, I'm your elder. What kind of attitude is this?"
"I'm just answering Second Aunt's question normally. Do you want me to kneel to show my respect?" she said with a smile, "Even Grandpa has never had this kind of treatment. Do you dare to accept it, Second Aunt?"
"You!"
The Second Madam snorted, feeling extremely frustrated, and turned around to leave angrily.
No, she must get Shi Wan out of the way, or she wouldn't have a chance to deal with Shen Siyan.
Shi Wan withdrew her gaze, picked up a hoe and started digging. The medicinal herbs she had taken pictures of last night had to be planted as soon as possible, or they would be difficult to survive.
"Bang—" A sudden noise made Shen Siyan, who had just appeared, stop in his tracks. He raised his eyes. "What are you doing?"
"Farming. Do you want to experience it, Second Young Master?"
She squeezed her palm, her eyes full of eagerness. She liked medicinal herbs, but it didn't mean she liked planting them. It would be nice to find a helper.
"No, thanks."
"Second Young Master, it will help your body recover."
She grabbed the man who was about to leave, handed the hoe to him, and then sat down beside him. "Second Young Master, that area hasn't been started yet. You can continue."
Shen Siyan's face was cold. "What about you?"
He had never seen such an arrogant woman before.
"I... I'll take a break. I've been busy for so long."
Shen Siyan: "..."
In the end, Shi Wan had to do it herself. That young master didn't even know how to hoe the ground. If he continued, she was afraid he would damage this precious land.
In the evening, when Shi Wan was having dinner, she suddenly heard the Second Madam across the table suggest, "Shi Wan, we've discussed with the old master. Considering your young age, we plan to let you continue your studies. Considering your grades, we've chosen Kelly Academy in City T for you."
There was a look of pride in the Second Madam's eyes. She had inquired and knew that Shi Wan had never studied much since childhood. She had been expelled from school in her sophomore year of high school, and her grades were abysmal. She was either fighting or on her way to fight all day long.
"I don't need it."
"Shi Wan, you're now married into the Shen family. You need to improve your education. Don't think that just because Kelly Academy is a private school, it was easy to get you in. We even tried to get you into Beinan University, but your grades made it impossible."
"Mom, you even tried to get her into Beinan University? Not just anyone can get in there. Don't ruin the reputation of our Shen family."
Shen Jiao, the Second Madam's younger daughter, sneered.
"Jiaojiao, how can you talk like that? That's your sister - in - law!"
Although the words were a rebuke, there was no blame on the Second Madam's face.
"Indeed, not just anyone can get into Beinan University. Where are you studying, little sister?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly. Her calm inquiry made Shen Jiao and the Second Madam change their expressions at the same time.
"What's it to you?" Shen Jiao's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten something disgusting. "At least I can go to college, but you... Humph!"
"College? Hehe..."
"Shi Wan!"
Shen Jiao stamped her foot angrily. She couldn't stand her mocking look.
She had never liked studying since childhood. After graduating from high school, she didn't want to go abroad, so her family had spent money to get her into a college.
But compared with Shi Wan, her education was more than enough.
She had thought she could make Shi Wan feel inferior, but instead, she had been insulted.
"Shen Jiao, hasn't Second Aunt taught you how to talk to your elders?"
Shen Siyan's cold voice rang out. His voice was deep and gentle, but there was also a hint of coldness.
Shen Jiao shrank back and widened her eyes. "Who do you think you are to order me around?!"
The old master of the Shen family wasn't here today. How dare this man tell her what to do?
"Bang—" Shi Wan propped her hands on the table, the corners of her lips curled up wantonly. "He's mine. When did it become your turn to bully him?"
Her beautiful eyes, filled with a chilling look, stared coldly at Shen Jiao, who couldn't help but take a step back and hide behind the Second Madam.
Damn it!
How could she be scared by this country girl?
Hearing her words, Shen Siyan couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at her. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, but it quickly disappeared.
"Aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that Grandpa isn't here? What are you so arrogant about? You're such a disgrace."
"That's enough, Shi Wan!" The Second Master, Shen Zhengxu, said in a deep voice, "Letting you go to school is for your own good. Don't be ungrateful."
Shi Wan was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go. But I won't go to any school except Beinan University."
Although she would be a student, she had heard from the old man that the scholarships there were quite generous. If she went there and gave a few lectures casually, she could earn another few million.
"Ha? Did you all hear that?"
Shen Jiao laughed mockingly as if she had heard a big joke. "She said she wants to go to Beinan University? With your grades, you still want to get into Beinan University? Are you dreaming?"
The Second Madam gloated and said, "Shi Wan, although Jiaojiao has a spoiled temper, what she said is indeed true."
"Siyan, what do you think?"
Seeing that Shen Siyan had been silent, Shen Zhengxu asked.
If Shen Siyan used the power of the Shen family to help Shi Wan get into Beinan University, then don't blame them for taking action.
