"Hubby?!" Nian Lin swallowed hard. "You're married? Who's the big shot on the other side? Do I know them? When did he court you? Most importantly, you didn't even tell us. I'm so heartbroken."
Shi Wan: "......."
"You're wasted in the business world. You'd be more suited to the entertainment industry."
"Really? I think if I went there, I'd probably be framed several times a day. After all, this face is just too eye - catching!"
"Narcissism is a disease."
"Then you... No, stop changing the subject. Answer my question just now."
Nian Lin suddenly came to her senses.
"He's the young master of the Shen family in City T."
"Who? I've heard of the Shen family, but I didn't find anyone suitable for you among them."
"Shen Siyan."
As soon as the words fell, Nian Lin suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, she said in disbelief, "Shen Siyan?!"
Shi Wan nodded.
"Are you crazy or being coerced?" Nian Lin looked pained. "You know his reputation, right? He's a dying man."
"Hmm?" Shi Wan's voice rose slightly at the end, with a hint of warning. "He's mine now. I'm not just good for show. I can cure his illness."
"Okay, okay, okay. As long as you're happy."
Nian Lin never expected that just by going back for a while, Shi Wan got married.
And it was to the well - known good - for - nothing Shen Siyan.
Although he'd never met him, his reputation was well - known even in the capital city. One could only imagine how useless he was.
But since Shi Wan liked him, he'd give her a hand.
"Let's stop talking for now. I've got something to do."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
Actually, although this was said to be a gathering, in the minds of the elders, they hoped that the young people in the family could find a girlfriend or boyfriend here.
Nian Lin wasn't interested in this, so he stayed far away.
After Shi Wan finished using the restroom and just stepped out, she was blocked by several people.
Two women and one man.
"Something up?"
Shi Wan's voice was cold, and her gaze at them was even colder.
"Who are you? Do you have an invitation card?"
The three of them looked at each other, a bit intimidated by her gaze.
But then they thought they were three against one, so they didn't need to be afraid of her.
One of the women summoned up her courage and asked.
"No."
"Then how did you get in? Are you here to steal something or to catch a rich man?"
"If that's all you want to say, don't waste my time."
"Waste your time? Do you know how many successful people are here today? You, an unknown nobody, must have bad intentions coming here!"
Shi Wan dried the water on her hands and scoffed, "Then who are you? Are you very famous? How come... I don't recognize you?"
"I'll have you kicked out right away!"
The three of them blushed as if their thoughts had been exposed.
A vixen!
She dared to seduce Nian Lin. He was the man they'd set their eyes on first.
They finally saw her alone, and their purpose was to drive her out.
As for the man beside them, they were just having fun. At least, Shi Wan was the most beautiful among them.
"Go ahead."
Shi Wan tried to bypass them and leave.
"Then why are you leaving?"
"Don't be so rude to a beauty." The man winked at her, thinking he was handsome. "Beauty, let's get to know each other. I'm Wei Zhuo. Although you may not know my real name, you must know my online name. I'm the King of City H."
"So you're a web celebrity. Does that mean the other two are too?"
A glint of interest flashed in Shi Wan's eyes. She leaned against the wall lazily and curled her lips.
"So what if we are? Aren't you too?"
They'd seen photos of all the young masters and ladies from the upper - class society. This woman was so stunning. If they'd seen her before, they definitely wouldn't have forgotten.
But unfortunately, they hadn't.
It seemed she was just a newly - emerged small - time web celebrity.
"Beauty, be my friend. I'll stop them from kicking you out."
"Who do you think you are?"
Shi Wan's eyes turned cold. She easily grabbed the man's outstretched hand and squeezed slightly. Only the sound of bones breaking and the man's painful scream could be heard.
"Ah — It hurts!"
"If you don't want your hand, just say so."
"You dare to hurt someone?!"
The two women looked at each other, excited. Great, now they didn't even need to come up with an excuse to kick her out.
She was really asking for trouble.
"Go ahead. I'm waiting."
"Quick, go and call someone."
One woman ran away excitedly, while the other took out her phone and started recording.
"I'm warning you, don't even think about denying it!"
Soon, the woman who'd run away came back with a group of people, including some members of the Nian family.
When Nian Lin saw Shi Wan being filmed aggressively, his face immediately changed.
"Where are the security guards? Letting this person in is really embarrassing."
When the woman saw Nian Lin coming, she raised her voice even louder to accuse Shi Wan.
Now, Nian Lin would definitely know the true face of this woman.
"What's going on?"
"Master Nian, we don't know how this person got in. Her clothes are trashy, and she's even trashier. I suspect she's here to steal something!"
"Shut up. Did I ask you?" Nian Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Wan wasn't injured. "That's good."
If Shi Wan had been injured, he didn't know how his grandfather would scold him.
Shi Wan nodded. Looking at the people brought over, she smiled enigmatically. "Sure enough, web celebrities have good influence."
"Web celebrities?"
"How could web celebrities get in?"
The three people who were filming changed their expressions drastically and looked a bit guilty.
Web celebrities weren't allowed at this banquet. They'd managed to sneak in by pulling some strings. Who would have thought that the woman in front of them would just expose their identities like this.
"Aren't you a web celebrity too? A small - time one." One of them gritted their teeth and pointed at Shi Wan. "Don't think that just because you've hooked up with Master Nian, you can do whatever you want..."
"Shut up!" Nian Lin was almost laughed at by his words. "This is my friend, not some shady web celebrity, and definitely not someone you can talk about!"
The three of them changed their expressions slightly. Before they could explain, Nian Lin said again, "Who invited these people?"
"I..."
The three of them were completely panicked. If they were kicked out here, they'd really become infamous.
But as long as they could become famous...
"Nian Lin, what's all this ruckus about?"
The commotion here even attracted the old master of the Nian family.
Seeing this, one of the web celebrities quickly stepped forward and said, "Are you the old master of the Nian family? Master Nian has a web - celebrity girlfriend, and now he's making a big scene for her."
The other two almost wanted to cover her mouth. At this time, she still wanted to shift the blame.
Who were the people in the Nian family?
How could they be led by her nose?
Sure enough, the shrewd eyes of the old master of the Nian family scanned the group. "You mean this one is the web celebrity you're talking about?"
He pointed at Shi Wan.
"That's right."
The people present looked at them with pity. They were all smart people and knew what they were up to.
Wasn't it just asking for death to scheme against the Nian family?
