Shi Qing told Li Zhaofeng everything, which made Li Zhaofeng so angry that she slapped her thigh. "It's too much! Simply outrageous! Don't worry, my dear daughter. Mom will go and stand up for you right away!"
True to her word, Li Zhaofeng directly slandered Shi Wan online. On the surface, it seemed like she was saying she hadn't disciplined her children well, but between the lines, it was all about shifting the blame and protecting her younger daughter, Shi Qing.
Yueyuezi: "Well... To be honest, is this really her biological mother? If so, I feel sorry for Sister Shi Wan first."
Wudian: "Damn it! If I hadn't seen those big shots' comments, I would have really believed her nonsense!"
Anliabuzha: "She's so biased. Even the Pacific Ocean would seem small in comparison."
Chigefanfanhaotangtang: "Auntie, haven't you seen the latest news yet? Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the nerve to say such things."
"..."
By the time Li Zhaofeng realized something was wrong, it was too late. In a panic, she quickly deleted that post, but netizens had already taken screenshots.
The hashtag #Shi Wan's Biological Mother# shot straight to the top of the trending list.
...
When Shen Siyan got home, Shi Wan was tending to her small plot of land.
Thinking of what had happened that day, he stopped in his tracks until Shi Wan noticed him.
"What's wrong?"
"Be a good girl, and I'll be at ease."
The little mistress had given him a lucky charm in the morning, and something happened in the afternoon. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have seen a corpse by now.
Although the lucky charm was just a drawing, there were too many mysteries about the little mistress.
Just her identity as a divine doctor could attract a lot of danger.
"Okay."
Shi Wan had also guessed something, but they both tacitly didn't bring it up.
At the hospital.
Liu Yicheng's case was already being processed. His parents were quite wealthy, especially his father, who owned several companies under his name.
They had been trying to pull strings to handle this matter in the past few days, but with little success.
After listening to Bai Yun, Shi Wan finally looked at Liu Yicheng. "Is there anything else you want to do?"
Liu Yicheng lowered his eyes. "I... actually don't want to sue them. They've both started new families and have their own kids. I don't want my younger siblings to go through what I've been through. As for the legal issues, let the court decide."
Shi Wan felt so heart - broken. Such a kind - hearted child. How could his parents have the heart to abandon him?
If it were her, she would definitely make those two get the punishment they deserved, but Liu Yicheng was still considering them.
Shi Wan said in a soft voice, "Think this through. Once you miss this chance, there won't be another one."
"Okay."
"Alright." Shi Wan stood up. "After this is settled, you can come to me. I'll take care of you."
Liu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled up. "Thank you, Sister Shi Wan and Sister Bai Yun."
Bai Yun felt extremely heart - broken. After comforting him a few words, she chased after Shi Wan. "Wanwan, are we just going to let this go?"
Shi Wan carefully played with the fruit in her hand. "Aren't there other reasons? For example, those online trolls and the fact that his parents were involved in abduction."
Bai Yun understood. Shi Wan wasn't that kind - hearted, but she respected Liu Yicheng's decision and would only pursue the legal aspects.
"Okay, I've almost sorted out this matter."
"Good. Keep an eye on him these days. His parents probably won't come to find him, but others might."
"Wanwan, I also want to ask. Why did you marry Shen Siyan?"
Shi Wan smiled. "I didn't want to marry him either, but he calls me 'good girl'."
Bai Yun: "..."
This contrast...
This reason! I believe your nonsense!
In the end, Bai Yun still couldn't find out why she had married Shen Siyan.
Dean Yu rushed over and stopped Shi Wan just as she was about to leave the hospital.
"Wanwan, I'm sincere. Why don't you come and help in our hospital? You don't need to come every day. Just come for the tricky surgeries. You can name your salary. How about that?"
Shi Wan's eyes flashed slightly. "Really?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, but I'll only work for a while. After that, I'll leave the hospital. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Hearing that she was willing to help, Dean Yu was extremely excited. He rubbed his hands and called Principal He to show off.
"You said she can name her own salary?"
Old He was a bit jealous at first, but when he heard this, he immediately became gloating.
Dean Yu didn't think there was anything wrong. "Yes. How about it? Jealous?"
Old He chuckled twice. "I'm really jealous."
Jealous that you're about to get fleeced!
"I'll hang up. Get the money ready first."
Dean Yu looked at the hung - up phone, frowned, and always felt something was wrong, but it seemed okay.
"Never mind. It's good that she's willing to help."
He straightened his clothes and walked away leisurely.
...
At the Shi family's place.
Li Zhaofeng's thoughtless online remarks had even affected the company.
Shi Jie paced back and forth, scratching his head. Seeing the people sitting on the sofa looking helpless, he got angrier the more he looked.
"It's all your fault! Why did you post such nonsense?"
Li Zhaofeng felt wronged. "Isn't it all Shi Wan's fault? Who asked her to deliberately embarrass Qingqing? She's ruined Qingqing's reputation. How can she show her face?"
Shi Jie had nothing to say in reply. After a moment of silence, he said, "Pack up. We're going to the Shen family to ask for help. This whole thing started because of Shi Wan. The Shen family won't just stand by."
"Then won't we have to see Shi Wan again?"
Li Zhaofeng muttered discontentedly. Just thinking about seeing Shi Wan made her feel bad.
"Or do you want to save the company from this crisis? It's all because of you!"
Li Zhaofeng didn't dare to talk back after being scolded. She rushed back to her room to change clothes.
"Dad, I want to go too."
Shi Qing had already heard their conversation.
"What do you want to go for? Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
The higher his expectations for this daughter used to be, the greater his disappointment was now. She was just as stupid as her mother.
"Shi Wan is at the Shen family now. Do you think she'll let the Shen family help us? They'll be lucky if they don't kick us out."
"So what?"
"I have some connections with Shen Jiao, the daughter of the Shen family. I can be of some help when we get there."
Most importantly, she wanted Shen Jiao to deal with Shi Wan. Shi Wan had made her lose so much face. She wouldn't let her go!
Shi Jie thought for a moment. "Then you can go."
The whole family carried some gifts and headed to the Shen family in a grand manner. When the guard heard they were from the Shi family, he hesitated.
But at this moment, Shen Jiao happened to be coming home. Seeing Shi Qing, she listened to a few words and then led them in.
Grandpa Shen was taking a nap, and only the second wife was at home.
"Second Madam, long time no see."
Li Zhaofeng smiled.
"Oh, it's you. Sit down."
The second wife didn't have a good impression of them because of Shi Wan. At the moment, she was just being polite.
Seeing Shen Jiao, she knew how this family had gotten in.
"Are you here to find Shi Wan? She's in another courtyard. I'll have someone take you there."
