"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll break your legs!"
Zhou Wei's heart was nearly scared out of her chest by her own son. She looked at Shen Siyan warily.
"Brother Jingye, you'd better worry about yourself first."
Zhou Jingye flinched. Before he could wink at Shi Wan, the words were already out of his mouth.
"Jingye, Wanwan's right. You'd better worry about yourself."
Shi Wan immediately received a resentful look from Zhou Jingye.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, it's getting late. We have to go back."
"Are you leaving today?" Mrs. Zhou's eyes were filled with reluctance. "We haven't seen each other for so long. It's okay for you to stay a few more days."
"No, there are still some things to be taken care of. I'll definitely come back when it's all over."
"Okay, then be careful." Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Siyan. "Sir... Young Master Shen, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Wanwan."
Although she knew it wasn't necessary, she couldn't help but give a few instructions.
"Wanwan is my wife. It's only natural for me to take care of her."
After bidding farewell to the Zhou family, due to getting up early, Shi Wan couldn't help but fall asleep on the plane.
When she woke up again, she was in the car. The man was holding her like a child.
"Awake?"
Shi Wan glanced at the scenery outside and nodded, knowing they were almost home.
"Does Grandpa know we're coming back?"
"Yes. The driver was sent by him." Shen Siyan stroked her face. "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat when we get back."
"Okay."
She closed her eyes again and said lazily.
At the Shen family mansion.
Shen Siyan carried her out of the car. As soon as they entered, an unpleasant voice came.
"Yo, so you've really gotten bold since you married into the family? Knowing that our Siyan is in poor health, you still let him carry you. You're putting on more airs than the old master."
Shen Siyan gave her a cold look. "Can't you stand to see a loving couple? Second Aunt, don't be jealous just because your own marriage is unhappy."
The second lady's face turned blue and then white. "Siyan, I'm just concerned about you."
Endure it!
She'd find a chance to teach these two a good lesson later.
"Second Aunt, did you come back alone?"
Shi Wan poked her head out and asked.
"So what?"
She nodded seriously. "No wonder Second Aunt can't stand to see us being affectionate. It turns out you don't have anyone to accompany you."
"Shi Wan!"
The second lady was so angry that she trembled. She glared at Shi Wan with hatred in her eyes.
"What do you want to do when the two kids have just come back?"
The old master's voice came, protecting the two of them. The second lady's expression became even more distorted.
But she didn't dare to refute. She said resentfully, "Siyan is in poor health. As his second aunt, I'm just concerned about him."
The old master frowned. He softened his expression and said to Shen Siyan and Shi Wan, "Hurry home. Are you feeling okay?"
"Fine. Wanwan has been taking good care of me."
"Ah, that's good, that's good."
The three of them walked into the house as they talked. The second lady was left behind. Her face turned ashen with anger.
Sure enough, their family shouldn't have left in the first place.
It had only been a few days, and the old master had already forgotten about them. If a little more time passed, who knew what would happen?
She clenched her fists and quickly followed. This time, no matter what, she had to get back into the Shen family.
"Siyan, Wanwan, how was your trip to Beijing? Did anything happen?"
"Fine. Thanks for your concern, Second Aunt."
Shen Siyan said calmly.
"That's good." The second lady rolled her eyes. "Wanwan, I heard you're the top student in your major. Is that true? I don't see you going to class very often."
Shi Wan curled her lips and said casually, "There's nothing I can do. I've been smart since I was a kid. Second Aunt, do you often stay at home? How do you even know I don't go to class?"
A shadow flashed across the second lady's eyes. "I heard it. If you don't like it, just ignore it."
"Okay. Then please don't mention it again, Second Aunt."
Shi Wan's blunt words made the second lady's blood rush to her head with anger.
"Wanwan, since you've just come to the Shen family, why don't you go out and have fun with others? Jiao Jiao's school is having an event recently. You should go and have a look."
"No, thanks."
"Go. You've got nothing to do at home anyway, right?"
Seeing her persistence, Shi Wan changed her mind. "Sure. I'll go and take a look."
The second lady smiled amiably. "It's settled then. I'll go and tell her."
"Okay. We won't see you off, Second Aunt."
The second lady was stunned. She looked at the old master, hoping he would ask her to stay at the Shen family.
But a minute passed, and not only did the old master not say anything, but he also turned to talk to Shi Wan, asking about their days in Beijing.
Seeing this, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She gritted her teeth, said goodbye, and left.
After dinner, Shi Wan and Shen Siyan returned to their courtyard. She was surprised to find that the medicinal herbs she had planted before hadn't withered at all.
She had watered them with the water from the system before she left, but she thought that at best, a few of them would have withered after such a long time.
"Did you ask someone to water them?"
"Yes." Shen Siyan took her hand, a smile playing at the corner of his eyes. "Did I do a good job?"
"Not bad."
"Then is there any reward?"
Shi Wan kissed him without hesitation. The man tilted his head slightly, and her delicate red lips landed right on his thin lips.
He curved his lips and held her when she tried to pull back, deepening the kiss.
...
Shi Jie finally managed to find out where Shi Wan lived through some connections. But when he tried to get in, he found he couldn't.
He waited outside for several days in vain. Finally, he was told that Shi Wan and Shen Siyan had already gone back. He was so angry that he almost passed out.
When he finally got back, he was informed that he had been fired. He was so furious that he started shouting in the company.
"Why? I'm the second largest shareholder in the company!"
"Second largest shareholder?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Jie had a bad feeling. "Explain yourself clearly!"
"Our boss asked me to tell you that thanks to Miss Shi Qing's generous transfer, please go back."
Shi Jie quickly guessed the truth. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
So all his hard work had been in vain, and he'd been sold out by his own family?
He should have asked Shi Qing to transfer the shares to him.
"Who's your boss?!"
"Right in front of you."
The acting manager of the company said.
Shi Jie was confused, but he didn't have time to think about it. He rushed home to ask Shi Qing what on earth she was thinking.
How could she be so stupid as to transfer the shares away?!
Shi Jie rushed home and found Shi Qing just coming back from shopping. Seeing him, she said cheerfully, "Dad, aren't you on a business trip?"
Shi Jie's face was grim. "I'm asking you, why did you transfer your shares in the Shi Corporation?"
"I... I didn't." Shi Qing's eyes were full of guilt. "Who told you this nonsense?"
"They fired me from the company!"
Now he could only live on a meager salary every month.
It was a far cry from his previous life.
"I did it for our own good."
Seeing that the truth had been exposed, Shi Qing decided not to hide it anymore.
