Shi Wan walked straight to the sofa and sat down. Soon, the couple came downstairs.
Li Zhaofeng was muttering something beside him. Shi Jie didn't look happy.
"Shi Wan, you still remember to come back?"
"Didn't you call me back?"
Li Zhaofeng was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Shi Jie.
"Now that you're back, I have something to talk to you about."
Shi Wan said with interest, "Go ahead."
Whether she'd do it or not was another matter.
"I'm sure you've heard about what's going on with the company recently. Since you're capable, then..."
"What does the company's business have to do with me? I'm just a student."
"Aren't you also a part - owner of the company?" Shi Jie said angrily.
"Really?" Shi Wan sneered. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd have thought it belonged to someone else. After all, all I have are the shares."
Shi Jie was choked but couldn't lose his temper. He endured it and said, "That's because you were being childish! If you'd just listened to us, would we have treated you like that?"
Shi Wan looked at him with mockery in her eyes. "Tell me, what could a newborn baby do to defy you?"
"Fine. After this is all over, we'll announce that you're a daughter of the Shi family."
Shi Jie thought that all Shi Wan wanted was to be recognized as a member of the Shi family.
"I don't need it." Shi Wan said coldly. "It was you who said you wanted to cut off the relationship. I've already returned what belongs to you."
"Shi Wan, don't be ungrateful!"
Li Zhaofeng looked at her like she was something disgusting and was extremely disdainful.
Wasn't she just trying to make demands?
Shi Wan paused for a moment and smiled. "Or, you could go back with me to visit Grandma?"
Li Zhaofeng's eyes were full of disgust. "I'm not going. Besides, isn't she dead?"
"Right. You didn't even bother to visit her when she passed away. How can you expect me to come back?"
Shi Wan was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, full of mockery.
Hearing this, Li Zhaofeng felt extremely guilty. She'd never go to that shabby countryside. It was a waste of time and would only make her look bad.
"Husband, I told you she wouldn't listen to us. She's such an ungrateful girl. I..."
"Enough! Shut up!" Shi Jie glared at her and then said to Shi Wan, "If you're willing to come back, I'll give you an additional 5% of the company's shares."
"Dad!"
Shi Qing's face changed slightly. Those shares were supposed to be hers. Why should they be given to Shi Wan?
"Shut up!"
"I'd almost forgotten." Shi Wan took out her phone and sent a message to Bai Yun. "I'll return the shares Grandpa gave me. Let's just pretend we've never met."
"Really?"
Li Zhaofeng had been worried about how to get the shares back. She never expected Shi Wan to return them on her own.
This would save her the trouble of looking for her.
"Someone will go to your company tomorrow. Just sign it."
After saying that, Shi Wan left straight away.
"Great, husband! We finally got the shares back!"
"What's so great about it?" Shi Jie was extremely frustrated. "You're always ruining things!"
Could Shi Wan's current status be measured by shares?
If the company went under, the shares would be worthless!
"You're more of a hindrance than a help!"
This matter couldn't be left like this. Even if they couldn't win Shi Wan back, they couldn't let others know that they'd cut off the relationship with her. Otherwise, those who were after Shi Wan would surely turn away.
However, to Shi Jie's surprise, Li Zhaofeng actually published an announcement in the newspaper, cutting off the relationship with Shi Wan and constantly slandering her.
This move made many people wonder if there was something wrong with Shi Wan.
After all, other families would cherish a miracle - doctor like a treasure, but the Shi family wanted to cut off the relationship.
"Wanwan, the Shi family really knows how to stir things up."
Bai Yun put down her phone, full of disgust.
"Yeah, I guessed it."
In Li Zhaofeng's eyes, no matter how excellent Shi Wan was, she was always a country girl and couldn't compare to Shi Qing, the refined young lady she'd carefully cultivated.
"What a fool." Bai Yun handed her the share transfer document. "Take a look. If there's no problem, I'll send someone over."
"Okay."
After leaving Bai Yun's place, Shi Wan remembered what Grandma had said before she passed away. She took out her phone and sent a message to someone, then walked towards school.
Strangely enough, there used to be many people blocking her at school, but recently there were hardly any. When they saw her, they even wanted to stay as far away as possible.
Shi Wan wasn't interested in knowing why. As long as they didn't bother her, it was fine.
"Wanwan, do you want to participate in the computer competition?"
"Huh? Didn't you say we weren't going to participate?"
"No, it's a club - level competition."
Shi Wan thought for a moment. She remembered that at the beginning of the semester, they were told that everyone had to join a club, and she'd just randomly chosen one.
Was there going to be an event?
"I'm not participating."
Zheng Zhi grinned. "Sorry, this event is organized by your club. Everyone in the club has to participate. You can't escape."
"… Then why are you asking me?"
"Isn't it polite? I'm just casually informing you. Besides, the first - place winner will get a bonus."
"How much?"
As soon as money was mentioned, Shi Wan immediately became interested.
Recently, the money she'd earned was either used for projects or exchanged for gold and then given to Shen Siyan. There wasn't much left for her.
She felt her pocket.
Yeah, there were just a few coins left, probably just a few dimes.
"It's probably 10,000 yuan." Zheng Zhi thought for a moment. "Don't be fooled by the small number of people. Your club is actually quite rich."
Shi Wan: "… Okay."
Even a small mosquito was still meat. It was better than nothing.
"You have to go to a meeting today. Your club seems to be planning a redesign." After a pause, she suddenly remembered a very important question. "Do you know where your club is?"
Shi Wan shook her head.
"What about the club president?"
She shook her head again.
"What about the other members?"
She covered her chest and asked stubbornly.
Shi Wan continued to shake her head.
Zheng Zhi almost choked. "Wanwan, almost a semester has passed. Do you even know which club you've joined?"
"If you hadn't reminded me..."
She really answered this question seriously.
Mainly, this club didn't have as many things to do or activities as other clubs.
It only held one event a semester.
Zheng Zhi: "…"
She was convinced.
"I'll take you there."
Zheng Zhi wasn't exaggerating. In just one week at school, she'd already figured out all the clubs in school.
Including who was in the clubs and whose temper was bad.
Shi Wan followed her. Each club had its own office and activity venue. The Internet Club was on the third floor. It was quick to get there by elevator.
They pushed open the door, and everyone in the office looked at them.
"Are you two also from the Internet Club?"
The person who spoke was a tall boy wearing glasses, a gray sweatshirt, and holding a laptop. He looked extremely elegant.
"N - no, I'm not." Zheng Zhi was almost in a daze. She pushed Shi Wan forward. "She is."
