The next day, outside the school gate.
Shi Wan looked at the familiar license plate, reached up to fiddle with a tuft of her cowlick, and got in the car.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to pick me up?"
Shen Siyan hooked his lips. "I had time, so I came."
Shi Wan nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man say meaningfully, "Mrs. Shen has quite a lot of charm."
From the moment she ran over, he'd seen several young boys following behind her. As a man, he knew exactly what that look meant.
"Aren't there any people chasing you?"
"With my appearance, people can't avoid me fast enough. Who would dare to get close?"
Only his little wife not only got close but also protected him.
The man's tone was calm, as if he wasn't talking about himself.
Shi Wan was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head. Indeed, if it weren't for true love or some ulterior motive, others really wouldn't dare to get close.
"Don't go home first. Go to the First Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."
"Okay."
...
After getting out of the car, Old Master He was standing there waiting. When he saw her get out, he immediately said, "Finally, Miss Shi is here. Siyan is here too?"
Shen Siyan nodded. "Grandpa He."
Shi Wan curled her lips. "I just finished class. Who is it this time?"
"Come with me first."
As Old Master He said this, he led her there.
When they got there, they found an old man lying in the bed, full of tubes. His breathing was weak, as if he might leave at any moment. The family members beside him were crying sadly, begging and threatening the doctors to save the old man.
"How is it?"
Old Master He asked eagerly.
Shi Wan didn't say a word. She asked the doctor to help and went into the ward with them. Wearing a white coat and a mask, the family members didn't notice anything unusual.
"Old Master He, who is the person you mentioned? Why haven't we seen him?"
Old Master He knew what Shi Wan meant. "Just let the dean go in."
Shen Siyan's eyes flashed slightly. "Grandpa He, can this person be saved?"
"Definitely no problem." After saying that, Old Master He realized what he'd said and explained weakly, "I think with the dean here, there must be no problem."
This kid... was actually trying to get information from him!
Hearing this, the man's phoenix eyes became even deeper. His little wife was really good at keeping secrets...
As soon as Shi Wan's hand touched the old man, the old man opened his eyes with difficulty. His hand, as dry as a dead tree, tightly grabbed hers and said weakly, "Let... me die..."
She paused for a moment. "Sir, if I cure you, these tubes on your body won't be there anymore."
She'd known before coming that the old man's condition was very bad, but who made her short of money?
However, the old man shook his head. His eyes were full of resistance. Before he could say anything else, he fell into a coma.
"What's the situation with this old man?"
"Miss Shi, as doctors, we're not supposed to talk too much about these things. This old man has been on life support for nearly a year. You've seen the tubes on his body. He even has to eat through a tube. His children are doing this just for his eight - thousand - yuan monthly pension."
Dean Yu sighed and said.
Whenever the old man regained consciousness, he would hold their hands and beg to die, but the family members didn't agree, so they could only continue the treatment. The old man was living a life worse than death.
Hearing this, Shi Wan was silent for a while. She turned around and left, dropping a sentence, "I won't save this person."
Dean Yu didn't stop her and just let her leave.
When Old Master He saw her come out so quickly, he quietly pulled her aside. "I've sent the others away. Siyan just wouldn't leave. By the way, is the person okay?"
Just then, Shen Siyan walked over. She switched her expression to one of sadness. "I couldn't save the person."
Hearing this, Old Master He didn't say much. "Maybe it's really time for him to go. Don't blame yourself."
The look in Shen Siyan's eyes as he looked at her was a bit strange. It was hard to tell if he believed her words.
"The consultation fee still has to be given to you." Old Master He looked at her and asked in confusion, "Miss Shi, what's wrong with you? Here's the money."
Shi Wan took it with tears in her eyes. "..."
"By the way, you told me you were short of money, but I checked and there's still five million in your other account. What do you want to do? If it's not enough, I'll introduce more patients to you."
Shi Wan: "!!!"
She was heart - broken!
Didn't this money - guzzling beast see it was right beside her?
She didn't dare to say that the money was gone as soon as she left the door.
Sure enough, as soon as they got in the car, the man stared at her.
She held the card and struggled for a while. "This... shouldn't you give me some pocket money?"
She regretted saying she would support this money - guzzling beast. It was too much of a rip - off!
The man propped his chin on his hand and said with a smile, "I'm also doing this for my wife's good. I just didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would even hide some private money?"
Shi Wan: "..."
She'd miscalculated. Old Master He had just revealed everything.
Shi Wan gritted her teeth and scolded as she handed over the card in her hand.
As usual, the man took the card from his little wife's hand and slowly put it into his own pocket.
"Are we reversed?"
The man said "yes" in a good mood. "Wife works hard to earn money to support the family."
"So you stay at home looking beautiful?"
Shen Siyan nodded without a hint of shame.
Shi Wan sneered. "You're probably a man - eating flower, right?"
Money - guzzling beast!
"Have you ever seen such a good - looking man - eating flower?"
Shi Wan: "..."
No, but you're really shameless.
Watching his little wife feeling dejected beside him, the man's smile faded. He seemed to be lost in thought.
When they got back to the Shen family's mansion, Shen Yu, who'd been hospitalized due to his injury, was finally discharged. However, his face didn't look good at the moment.
Because for some reason, they couldn't find a single clue about the person who'd injured him!
Now, every time he saw Shen Siyan, the gap in his heart became even bigger, and his mood was extremely bad.
"The useless one still knows how to come home?"
Shi Wan stopped in her tracks and said coldly, "Are you asking for a beating? Is this what the great Shen family teaches its children?"
Only she could bully Shen Siyan. Who did Shen Yu think he was?
Shen Siyan obediently stood behind his little wife and slightly hooked his lips.
Shen Yu snorted. "You're already protecting him just after marrying this useless one?"
"Are you like a useless person that no one wants?"
Shen Yu's face instantly turned ashen. "How dare you say that again?!"
These words undoubtedly hit his most painful point, the shame of his life.
"I'll say it ten times if you want." Shi Wan said coldly, "If you want to bully Shen Siyan, take a good look at yourself first!"
Shen Yu was so angry that he was half - dead. Due to the old master being at home, he didn't dare to really do anything to them.
However, after the old master was gone, he'd have plenty of ways to teach these two dogs a lesson.
Seeing that Shen Yu didn't dare to say a word, Shen Jiao rolled her eyes contemptuously. "Yeah, don't bully them. They have the old master's protection. The old master even used his old face to get an outsider who just married in into Beinan University."
"Does she deserve it?"
If that was really the case, it would be easy to ruin a person at school, right?
Shen Siyan frowned. The way Shen Yu looked at Shi Wan made him very unhappy.
It seemed that the lesson he'd given last time wasn't enough.
"At least she's better than you, who even bought your high - school diploma with money."
After saying that, Shen Siyan pulled Shi Wan and walked straight back to their yard.
Shi Wan stared at him curiously. "Aren't you afraid he'll take revenge on you?"
"Don't I have you?"
Shi Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and said seriously, "You're taking advantage of me too much, aren't you?"
