Mo Xiaoyun bit her lips, her face deathly pale. "But she snatched my things!"
"Hey, what are you talking nonsense about? Our boss clearly paid for this item at the auction. It's your own fault for not having the money!" Li Si retorted.
Only then did Shen Siyan notice him. Great, another man had shown up.
Li Si suddenly felt a chill run down his neck and couldn't help shivering.
Strange. It wasn't cold today.
"Is that so, Miss Mo?"
"So what if it is?" Mo Xiaoyun said unwillingly. "Yu Chen, at least our families have a cooperation. Instead of helping me, you're helping a stranger?"
"Miss Wan has some connections with the Yu family. She can take whatever she wants on this street. As for the cooperation between the Yu and Mo families, I'll think it over when I get back."
"Yu Chen!"
If her family found out that the cooperation was terminated because of her, they would surely never forgive her.
But after Yu Chen said this, he led his people away.
"Miss Wan, where are you going?"
"She's going home." Shen Siyan drove his car over and rolled down the window. "Aren't you getting in?"
Then, Yu Chen and Li Si watched in a daze as Shi Wan got into the car and disappeared.
In the car.
"I didn't expect that even after getting married, Mrs. Shen still has so many suitors?"
After a long while, unable to stand the silence in the car any longer, Shen Siyan spoke up.
Shi Wan frowned. "Speak properly. Why are you being so sarcastic?"
Shen Siyan: "..."
So it was his fault?
"It's just some connections."
"Protecting you like that and it's just some connections?" For some reason, he said awkwardly, "And he completely ignored me?"
"Don't blame it on others." She said, "I clearly greeted you, but you ignored me. And you still have the nerve to be angry?"
"Was that meant for me?"
Not Yu Chen?
"Otherwise? I've only met Yu Chen once."
Hearing this, the annoyance in the man's heart dissipated. His beautiful diamond-shaped lips curved slightly. "Who wants to talk to you?"
Yu Chen...
Shi Wan: "..."
This money - gobbling beast must be a bit crazy.
"Mrs. Shen, by the way, how much private savings do you actually have?"
Suddenly, the man leaned in, cornering her until she had nowhere to retreat.
Shi Wan's hair stood on end instantly. "N...no."
"The auction? It should cost a lot of money, right?"
Shi Wan fell silent.
"Hand it over."
Shi Wan: "..."
Shen Siyan said patiently, "Be good and give your husband your private savings."
Shi Wan glared at him. "Although I said I'd support you, you can't just take everything from me, right? Since it's private savings, why should I give it to you?"
"Cough..." The man immediately covered his chest, his face ashen. "I thought you really meant it when you said you'd support me. Turns out it was just a lie..."
His tone was exactly like that of a discarded child.
Shi Wan was really afraid that this "power bank" would have something happen to him. "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."
She could just earn more later. First, she had to coax the "power bank" well.
"No need. Keep it for yourself. I know..."
"Do you want it or not?"
"Since it's from Mrs. Shen, of course I'll take it."
Sure enough, his little wife was more worried about him than he had thought.
Could it be... that she liked him?
Putting everything together, the man thought it was more and more likely.
Even his mood started to brighten up.
The man's sudden change of expression left Shi Wan dumbfounded. Could it be that this money - gobbling beast had been waiting for her here?
Shi Wan was depressed.
It was the first time she had compromised with someone like this, but she couldn't do without her spiritual power.
"Host, given the way you two are, you might as well conquer him. Then you can have as much spiritual power as you want."
Shi Wan scoffed. "This man is a natural money - gobbling beast. If I really took him in, wouldn't he devour me completely?"
"And..."
"Don't say any more. This is fine for now."
However, the system was right about one thing.
Shi Wan's eyes flashed slightly. If she took this man in, she could not only use spiritual power to learn more skills but also complete the mission.
Noticing the burning look in his little wife's eyes, Shen Siyan couldn't help but have a strange premonition.
"Mrs. Shen, am I good - looking?"
Shi Wan turned her head. "Just so - so."
The man snorted. "I can't compare to the male models you've seen, or the two men tonight..."
Shi Wan: "..."
Why was this money - gobbling beast always looking for trouble?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Shen Siyan's mood, which had just improved a bit, instantly sank again.
...
The next day, when Shi Wan arrived at school, she noticed something was off. Everyone was looking at her with strange expressions...
When she entered the classroom, Zheng Zhi seemed hesitant to speak. "Wanwan, you..."
"What's wrong? What rumor did they spread about me on the forum again?"
Zheng Zhi glanced at the others. "They said you've hooked up with more than one man. Besides Yu Chen, who has already appeared, there are others."
Shi Wan just gave a non -chalant "oh".
"Wanwan, aren't you going to deal with it? The matter will only get worse."
"You're right."
As soon as the class was over, Mo Xiaoyun came up to her smugly. "I was wondering where you got your money from. If I'd known it was from such a dirty source, I wouldn't have taken it even if you gave it to me for free!"
Shi Wan calmly twirled her pen and looked up. "As if you could have snatched it."
"You!"
"The thing on the Internet is related to you, isn't it?"
Mo Xiaoyun sneered. "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Mo Xiaoyun, don't be stupid and think others are too. Only the two of us knew about what happened yesterday, and it was posted this morning. Ask anyone and see if they'll believe it wasn't you?"
Mo Xiaoyun's face changed slightly. "So what if it was me? I'm just warning everyone not to mistake someone for a goddess."
"Even so, you'll never be the campus belle. You're just a joke." She curled her lips, hitting the most vulnerable part of the other person's heart. "Alright, it's good that you've admitted it yourself. It saves me the trouble of looking for evidence."
Mo Xiaoyun's face turned pale. "What do you mean?"
"Recording. These days, you have to be careful or you won't know who's good and who's bad." She said, "In this era, if you have evidence, people say you're scheming. If you don't, they say you're slandering. Tsk..."
Watching Shi Wan's departing back, Mo Xiaoyun felt terrible.
But soon she calmed down.
So what if there was evidence?
She could just say it was synthesized or just angry words. She could just hire a few trolls, and those fools would surely believe her.
Before Shi Wan could take action, the news on the forum was somehow posted on the Internet. For a moment, it caused a huge stir online.
