Only to hear her say lazily, "Maybe it's because I'm short of money?"
Everyone: "..."
Short of money?
Who are you kidding?
Sang Lin was also completely shocked by her words, while Zhou Qi beside her was trying hard not to laugh.
"You're likely to get beaten for saying that."
"I'm really short of money. There's a money - guzzling beast at home to feed."
Moreover, the system wasn't one to be trifled with.
"Host, you're likely to lose me if you say that."
Just as her thought fell, the aggrieved voice of the system rang in her mind.
Shi Wan didn't say a word. Just her silence made the system dare not say anything more.
"Host, people from Heli Group will come to look for cooperation companies recently. This is a big deal. And you haven't finished learning the things rewarded before. When will you..."
"I'll learn when I get home." Shi Wan got up and walked outside. "When will the people from Heli arrive?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Wanwan, where are you going? Do you want to go out for a meal with us?"
Shi Wan waved her hand. "No, someone is waiting for me."
Hearing this, Sang Lin had no choice but to pull Zhou Qi away on her own.
"Senior sister, senior brother, are you on good terms with Shi Wan?"
Only after Shi Wan had completely left did Shi Qing step forward and ask.
"What? Who are you..."
"I'm Shi Qing. I just transferred here."
Sang Lin only felt that the name was familiar but couldn't remember for a moment.
"Do you have anything to ask?"
"No. I saw that you seemed to know Shi Wan, so I just asked."
"We've had some cooperation before..."
"Sorry, junior sister. We still have something to do."
Zhou Qi quickly interrupted her words, apologized to Shi Qing, and pulled Sang Lin away.
Shi Qing watched their departing backs, her eyes cold and gloomy.
Sang Lin was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Shi Qing is Shi Wan's younger sister. Have you forgotten what happened before?"
"So it's her!" Reminded by him, Sang Lin also remembered. "But isn't she from another department? Is she also trying to get into the research institute today? You've got to be kidding. How long has she been studying?"
It wasn't that she looked down on Shi Qing, but medicine required solid knowledge. If you didn't know, you just didn't know.
It was only the second semester of freshman year, and Shi Qing had never studied medicine before.
"Maybe she's just like Shi Wan?"
Sang Lin: "..."
There was nothing wrong with this statement. Shi Wan was such a freak.
Although Shi Qing was hateful, there was no guarantee that she didn't have other identities.
"Anyway, we should reveal less information about Shi Wan to her. That girl has bad intentions."
"I know. I've really learned my lesson this time."
Sang Lin was a bit scared. If something happened to Shi Wan because of her, she would definitely feel extremely guilty.
Zhou Qi nodded. "Let's go. Stay away from her in the future. Remember to be on guard during this period. If there's any bad situation, tell Shi Wan in time."
"Okay."
When Shi Wan returned to the Shen family's house, the first thing she did was to rush into her room. She was so fast that Shen Siyan, who was following behind, didn't even react before the door was closed in front of him.
What did he do wrong this time?
Was it that the little wife had found out about the previous thing?
The man stood outside the door with a gloomy face, reflecting on his recent actions. He didn't seem to have done anything to displease her.
"Baby?"
"Bang - " The sound of something breaking really scared the man. He was even more certain that he had done something wrong and made her angry.
"Baby, let's talk it out. Don't be angry. I know I was wrong."
The only thing he could think of was that she had found out about the previous thing.
He wondered if he should go and prepare a few keyboards?
There was no sound from inside the room. Shen Siyan thought she was still angry and didn't dare to disturb her. He just stood quietly outside the door waiting.
It was not until evening when Shi Wan finished her study and came out. She opened the door and accidentally bumped into his arms.
"What are you standing here for?"
"Baby, I really didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know it was you at that time..."
"What are you talking about?"
Shi Wan interrupted his flustered words. She thought he was sick, so she reached out and touched his forehead.
"You're not sick. Did you have a nightmare?"
"What... what were you doing just now?"
Seeing her puzzled look, Shen Siyan's tense heart finally calmed down a bit.
"I was studying."
"Just that?"
"Just that. What's wrong with you?"
The man let out a sigh of relief. "It's okay. I thought you were angry."
He stepped forward and hugged her, his voice still a bit lingering with fear.
"Why would I be angry for no reason?" Shi Wan looked at him. "You're acting weird today."
"It's all because you went straight to your bedroom as soon as you got home. I thought I did something wrong and made you angry." His voice was full of grievance and resentment. "You even locked me out of the door and ignored me no matter how I called."
"No, I was just too absorbed and didn't hear you."
Shi Wan was smiling on the surface, but actually she was scolding the system in her heart.
When she was studying in the system, she couldn't hear others calling her unless the system reminded her.
But obviously, the system didn't remind her today.
She suddenly realized a problem. "Have you been standing here since I got home?"
The man nodded. "I was afraid you were angry."
"You silly thing." She stood on tiptoe and kissed him. "If you make me angry, I'll deal with you in my own way, not sulk on my own. Besides, what's the use of being angry by myself? If we really have a conflict, it's better to clarify and solve it earlier, right?"
"Okay."
He would never make her sad.
As for the mistakes he made before, he would try his best to make up for them and let her know.
"Let's go downstairs for dinner."
"Okay."
Shen Siyan obediently followed behind the woman. Seeing her holding his hand, he silently curved his lips and held her hand back.
After dinner, Shen Siyan pulled her to take a walk in the yard. Unexpectedly, Shen Jiao was out of the hospital. Moreover, she even looked kind when she saw them.
It was as if what had happened before had never happened.
"Sister - in - law, Brother Siyan, taking a walk here?"
Shen Siyan pulled Shi Wan behind him and replied indifferently, "Yes."
"Sister - in - law, why don't you say anything?"
"Are you sure you want me to say something?"
"Of course. After all, we're a family."
Shi Wan clearly saw a flash of hatred in Shen Jiao's eyes. She must have changed a lot after this incident to be able to endure to this extent.
"Sister - in - law, I heard you've become a tutor in the medical department of your school. That's really amazing!"
Shen Siyan lowered his eyes and looked at her. "You didn't even tell me about this?"
Shi Wan rubbed her forehead. "What's there to talk about regarding this kind of thing?"
"Remember to hand in your private savings."
Shi Wan: "..."
She wanted to kill someone.
"Actually, it's just a good deed. There's no money."
"Really?"
Just as Shi Wan nodded, Shen Jiao's voice rang out. "Sister - in - law, I heard that Grandpa He gave you a lot of money, right?"
Shi Wan: "..."
Would you die if you didn't say anything?
Meeting the man's half - smiling expression, Shi Wan knew that the money was doomed.
She hung her head and said, "Got it."
"Good girl. I'll use it as an investment for you."
Shi Wan looked up and reluctantly said, "You'd better keep it. Don't mess around."
