Shi Wan smiled faintly. "I'm free anyway. Don't worry. No one can bully me."
Hearing this, Sang Lin felt relieved. "That's good. Have you finished eating? We'll be busy for the whole afternoon."
"Yeah."
"Shi Wan..."
"Shi Wan..."
From the afternoon on, the people from Long Meng's team seemed to be used to taking her along for everything. They even called her when they just wanted to sit down and have a sip of water.
Sang Lin couldn't bear it anymore. Just as she was about to speak, Shi Wan stopped her. She said in a flat tone, "Am I your mother? Do you have to call me again and again?"
The faces of the people from Long Meng's team instantly turned ugly.
"What did you say?"
"Just what you heard." She said, "We can cooperate, and I can help when you're too busy, but I'm definitely not your servant for you to order around while you sit there!"
"Exactly!"
They looked at each other. Finally, Long Meng snorted. "So what if we just don't like you? What right do you, an outsider, have to be with us?"
"Well said. It takes two to tango. So many of us dislike you. Don't you ever think about your own problems? It's obviously you who has issues."
Hearing this, Sang Lin's team exploded. "What are you talking nonsense about? What do you mean it takes two to tango? I'll slap you and see if it rings!"
People who can say such things are just jerks!
Bullies never consider others, because for them, bullying those weaker or more outstanding than themselves gives them a sense of pleasure!
With a black heart, how can they ever think it's their own fault?
Seeing that they were about to fight, the people from Long Meng's team were so scared that they ran away cursing. They didn't dare to confront them at all.
Sang Lin had a fiery temper. "I'm so mad! How could there be such people?"
"Right. It's really bad luck to cooperate with them!"
The team members kept scolding, almost cursing them to death.
Shi Wan curled her lips. "Okay, don't be angry. If they do this again, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
"You're so good-tempered."
Shi Wan smiled but said nothing. Good-tempered?
No.
She had a really bad temper. If anyone made her unhappy, she would make them even more unhappy.
All that talk about forgiveness was nonsense. It was easy to talk if it wasn't happening to you!
After Long Meng and the others left the office, they went straight to Director Long's office and cried to him.
"Uncle, how can we get along with Shi Wan like this?"
After hearing Long Meng's account, Director Long's face darkened. "Is she really like that?"
"Of course. They can all testify. The people from their team even wanted to beat us just now."
The others quickly nodded.
Director Long already had a bad impression of Shi Wan. Now that this happened, he felt extremely disgusted.
"Let's leave this for now. I'll find an excuse to get rid of her later."
"Okay. Thank you, Uncle."
Getting the answer they wanted, Long Meng and the other two left contentedly.
Because of this incident, the cooperation between the two teams became the task of just one team. Sang Lin's team couldn't even get close, let alone participate.
So, they had no choice but to give up.
"It seems that Long Meng and the others really want to monopolize this cooperation. They'll definitely get higher scores than us when we leave."
Zhou Qi said, "But there's nothing we can do. We'll look for opportunities to gain points later."
Shi Wan was flipping through a medical book without even raising her head. "The one who laughs last is the winner."
They looked at each other. It was easy to say, but who knew who would be the final winner?
At the Shen family's mansion.
Shen Yu kicked over the herbs that Shi Wan had planted. He said proudly, "Sure enough, she's from the countryside. She's better at farming than anyone else. And where's that good-for-nothing Shen Siyan? Why hasn't he come out to pay his respects to me?"
Just then, Shen Siyan walked out in his home clothes and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. With the glasses on, the man looked elegant, losing some of his coldness and looking more like a gentle and refined gentleman. Every move exuded natural nobility.
His eyes fell on the kicked-over herbs, and a cold light flashed behind his glasses.
"Yo, the good-for-nothing of our Shen family has even started wearing glasses like others?"
Shen Yu burst into laughter and raised his hand to slap his face.
Unexpectedly, a beautiful figure blocked in front of the man. She looked at him coldly. "Wasn't the last lesson enough for you?"
"Again you?" Shen Yu gritted his teeth. "This is the Shen family's mansion. I'd like to see what you can do?"
Shi Wan stared at him and suddenly laughed. She directly broke his wrist. "You can try."
"Ah—"
Shen Yu's face turned pale. He held his broken hand and glared at her viciously.
"You..."
He had just said one word when suddenly Shi Wan threw herself into Shen Siyan's arms. She said fearfully, "Husband, I'm useless. I couldn't protect you."
"Shi Wan, what are you up to?"
Not only was Shen Yu confused, but Shen Siyan was also stunned.
Not because of her words, but because of her address to him and the fact that the woman had taken the initiative to hug him. Although it wasn't the first time, this time was different from before.
He subconsciously tightened his arms around the person in his arms. "It's okay. Husband will avenge you..."
This sentence was so hoarse and low that only he could hear it.
"You..."
Shen Yu was burning with anger. He picked up a hoe nearby and rushed over.
"Shen Yu!"
It wasn't until he heard the furious voice of Old Master Shen from behind that Shen Yu realized he had fallen into Shi Wan's trap.
"No, Grandpa..."
"We all saw it. Do you still want to argue?"
There were several people following Old Master Shen, and their looks at him were full of strangeness.
"Sir, this... the matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet."
Shen Yu's father tried to explain.
"Well said. We all saw it. Look how scared Siyan and his wife are." The man gloated. "It's not that I'm being nosy, but Shen Yu really needs to be disciplined. Otherwise, if something like last time happens again, it'll only be Shen Yu who suffers."
Shi Wan remembered that this man was Shen Siyan's third uncle, who had been doing business outside all year round. The last time he came was on the day she entered the Shen family for a meal.
Shen Yu's father glared at him. This was exactly hitting their sore spot.
"I didn't even hit him. Instead, Shi Wan broke my hand!"
"What?" Shen Yu's father couldn't sit still when he heard this. "Dad, this is too much! How could she..."
"After all, I'm Shen Yu's cousin. It was really my fault this time." Shen Siyan lowered his eyes. "I didn't know he would fall when he rushed over, and he accidentally broke his hand."
Everyone present could guess why he had rushed over.
It wasn't the first time Shen Yu had bullied Shen Siyan. Unexpectedly, he had finally got himself into trouble this time.
"You!"
Shen Yu's face changed drastically. He saw that Old Master Shen's face had already darkened. "Unrepentant! Get out to City M. Come back when you've thought things through!"
The faces of Shen Yu's family changed greatly. City M wasn't a place anyone could go. It was the source of all evils. With Shen Yu's abilities, he would probably die if he went there.
This time, Old Master Shen was really angry.
