Shi Jie sneered. "I know her. The Shi family owes its current success to her."
"Wanwan, you two..."
Mrs. Zhou sensed something amiss and held Shi Wan's hand to protect her from others.
Seeing this, Shi Jie changed his previous disgust and asked, "Does Mrs. Zhou know my daughter?"
He happened to have a cooperation deal with the Zhou family, and he was only 50% confident in winning it.
Since Shi Wan was so familiar with the Zhou family, he didn't need to worry about the remaining 50%!
"Mr. Shi is Wanwan's father?" Mr. Zhou suddenly realized and greeted Shi Wan. "Wanwan, come here quickly. It's been ages since you last visited us."
"I'll definitely come more often in the future."
"You said it. Don't go back on your word."
"Absolutely not."
"Shi... Wanwan, why are you here?"
Shi Jie, who had been ignored on the side, awkwardly spoke up. If others saw this scene, they might think Shi Wan was the Zhou family's child.
This bratty girl, Shi Wan, didn't even greet him when she came in.
"It doesn't seem to concern Mr. Shi, does it?"
Shi Wan didn't give him any face and simply addressed him as Mr. Shi.
Shi Jie's face darkened. Sensing the strange looks from the Zhou family, he said, "Wanwan, are you still mad at us?"
Shi Wan ignored him.
Shi Jie was extremely angry inside. "Shi..."
"Mr. Shi, let's call it a day today. We'll make another appointment when we have time."
"Okay. Sorry to bother you."
Shi Jie wasn't a sensible person. After some polite remarks, he left.
"Wanwan, what's going on?"
"Nothing." Shi Wan took a sip of tea. Suddenly, the system's voice rang in her ear.
"Host, the previous reward is related to the Zhou family."
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows. After a search, she indeed saw information in the reward column: The boss of the Shi Corporation has changed. The Zhou family will surely win if they cooperate with the Shi Corporation.
Her eyes flickered. "Uncle Zhou, are you planning to cooperate with Shi Jie?"
"It's not certain yet." Zhou Wei gave his evaluation. "Shi Jie is not a good person. Although he has some abilities, he lacks vision."
Seeing Shi Wan's attitude towards Shi Jie just now, Zhou Wei didn't hesitate to comment.
"The person in power of the Shi Corporation has changed. The Zhou family can try this cooperation."
"Changed? To whom?"
Shi Wan paused for a moment. "I don't know. But if the Zhou family cooperates this time, they definitely won't lose."
This was also what she hated the most. The system always only said half of what it wanted to say.
Zhou Wei was puzzled. Shi Wan's attitude was clear that she didn't like Shi Jie, but now she was suggesting they cooperate...
"Okay. Uncle Zhou will listen to you."
He chose to trust Shi Wan. There had been similar situations before, and it could be said that every time things developed as Shi Wan wanted.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
"You're welcome. How long do you plan to stay this time when you come back? Your brothers miss you very much."
"I'll leave after they come back."
The brothers Zhou Wei mentioned were not her biological brothers. She had just gotten used to calling them that during the years in the Zhou family.
However, they treated her better than a real sister.
"Great!"
Shi Wan went out with the two of them. Seeing the Zhou family's attitude towards Shi Wan, everyone instantly had other ideas.
"Mrs. Zhou, may I ask who this is?"
"This is a junior of mine, Shi Wan."
Mrs. Zhou didn't hide her affection for Shi Wan at all.
Everyone knew that the Zhou family only had sons and no daughters. Now that they were so kind to a junior, maybe they would take her in as a god - daughter.
"Miss Shi is really beautiful."
"She also has good temperament. If only she were my daughter."
One by one, people praised her. Soon, Shi Wan was surrounded by compliments.
But she only found it boring. These people were just saying these things because of the Zhou family. Instead of wasting time listening to their flattery, she might as well go home and be with her darling.
"May I ask if Miss Shi is still in school?"
"Yes."
The woman's eyes flashed. "Really? Then your grades must be very good. Which school in Beijing are you in?"
"In City T."
"City T?"
Several people looked at each other, and their expressions were a bit subtle. In their opinion, City T couldn't compare with Beijing. It was a poor place with low - quality people.
They didn't have a good impression of the people there.
"I see. It must be tough living there, right?" The woman tried to hold her hand. "I have some connections in Beijing. Miss Shi, why don't you come to Beijing? It's a great place here."
"No, thanks. City T is developing well."
"No matter how well it develops, it's just a small city."
As soon as these words were said, everyone present fell silent.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, where is your hometown? Don't forget where you're from just because you're in Beijing."
Did she really think she could bully Shi Wan without seeing where this was?
Mrs. Li's face turned green and then white. Her background was no secret if one just did a little investigation. Although she had tried to hide it over the years, it didn't work well.
Because of this, she was often ostracized in this circle.
She finally had a chance to show off in front of Shi Wan, but unexpectedly, she was refuted by the Zhou family.
"I... I was just thinking about Miss Shi's future."
"Wanwan is very good. She studies at Beinan University. Its reputation is no less than that of schools in Beijing."
Mrs. Li kept silent, hating them deeply but not daring to show it.
She couldn't deal with Mrs. Zhou, but couldn't she deal with Shi Wan from City T?
Shi Wan left with Mrs. Zhou. She took out something when there was no one around.
"Aunt Zhou, this is the medicine for you."
"Wanwan?" Mrs. Zhou was stunned. "I've heard some things. I don't know if they're true."
"Hmm?"
"People say you're a divine doctor, right?"
Because of her health problems, Zhou Wei had been looking for Cuncunjin. Later, when there was news that Shi Wan was the legendary divine doctor, they didn't believe it.
But now...
"Yes. Take it."
Shi Wan handed over the medicine. She had come to Beijing just because she saw the Zhou family's order.
"Wanwan, you... Thank you."
"You're welcome. You'll be cured after taking these medicines."
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded heavily. "By the way, why don't you stay at the Zhou family tonight? Your brother will be back soon."
"No. It's already late. I have to go back."
"I'll send someone to take you."
"No, I brought my driver."
Mrs. Zhou sent her outside. She watched her get in the car and disappear before leaving.
"Oops!" Suddenly, she slapped her head and murmured, "My husband said he wanted to introduce a big shot to Wanwan. I've completely forgotten about it."
"Dear, what are you still standing here for? It's cold outside. You're not in good health. Hurry back."
When Zhou Wei came back after seeing someone off and saw Mrs. Zhou standing outside, he lovingly hugged her and walked into the house.
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Husband, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?"
"Guess first."
Zhou Wei smiled. "Do you want to go on a trip with me?"
"Get out of here." Mrs. Zhou said coquettishly. "You're right. Wanwan is really the legendary divine doctor. She just gave me some medicine and said I'll be cured after taking it!"
