It was the early morning.
Mu Weiran was woken up by the ringing of his phone in the middle of the night. "Who calls me in the dead of night when you should be in the arms of your sweetheart? Are you trying to ask me out?"
"How's the thing I asked you to do before?"
"Si Yan, that's the result of your hard work for several years. Are you really willing to transfer it all to Shi Wan just like that?" Mu Weiran woke up a bit more from his drowsiness, propping himself up. "What if she runs away? Then you'll really be the second young master of the Shen family, the so - called good - for - nothing."
"She can only be mine. If she runs, she'll take me with her."
Before, he did all these things for himself and his grandfather. Now, it's for Shi Wan.
"The bitterness of love..."
"You'll never get a taste of it."
Mu Weiran: "......"
"Fine, I was being sentimental. The thing has been done a long time ago. On the surface, it's still in your hands, but the one with real power is Shi Wan. Are you satisfied?"
"Yeah, bye."
As for the shares the little mistress gave today, he'd just consider it an investment.
......
Shi Wan saw the news on the Internet that Shi Qing was making an apology. However, between the lines, she still didn't think she was wrong, and every sentence was trying to shift the blame onto Shi Wan.
At the same time, Shi Qing was officially expelled from Beinan University. It was said that Shi Jie had found another university for her. Shi Wan didn't pay any more attention to the follow - up.
Because Li Zhaofeng came.
Even after experiencing a near - death situation, Li Zhaofeng's attitude towards her remained unchanged. In fact, she hated her even more.
"What a sight in broad daylight!"
She saw Shi Wan lying on Shen Siyan's lap, and the man was feeding her without complaint. One could feel the pink bubbles between them from afar.
"I understand. After all, Shi Jie prefers young women."
"Shi Wan, you!"
Wasn't this saying that she was old?
"I didn't come here to talk about these things."
"Then stop talking nonsense."
Li Zhaofeng was so angry that she felt like she was going to explode. The anger was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down.
"You have to help with Shi Qing's matter."
"Haven't I already helped?"
Li Zhaofeng was suspicious. "You helped? How? Shi Qing has been expelled from the university, and you..."
"I helped her get on the hot search."
"Shi Wan!"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I have other things to do later."
"After all, Shi Qing ended up like this because of you. You have to step in and solve this."
There was not a trace of guilt or uneasiness on Li Zhaofeng's face as she spoke as if it were a matter of course.
"Don't you have several faces on yours? How thick - skinned!"
She wondered who had let this woman in.
"Shi Wan, I don't want to quarrel with you. If you agree, I'll take you back home and destroy all the things related to the severance of our relationship."
"No need." Shi Wan raised her eyes. "Get her out of here. Her noise is annoying."
"Okay."
Li Zhaofeng's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, she was dragged out.
In the shadows, Shen Jiao watched all this coldly. She didn't expect Li Zhaofeng to be so useless. She had let her in, but she was driven out after just a few words.
What a useless woman!
She looked at the message on her phone and sneered coldly before turning away.
"Not going to the company again today?"
Although Shi Wan didn't know Shen Siyan's identity, not going to the company every day seemed too idle.
"It's okay. I'll stay at home with you. Mu Weiran is still at the company."
"Shen Siyan, don't tell me that Shengshi Group belongs to you?"
"No."
It used to be his, but now it all belongs to her.
"Really?" Shi Wan was suspicious. "Then who exactly are you?"
"Your husband."
Shi Wan: "......"
She was talking about something serious, and he was flirting with her.
"If you don't want to say, then forget it."
"Shengshi Group really doesn't belong to me." He hugged her. "Now I really have to rely on the little mistress to support me."
"Got it. I'm going to make money."
"When will you be back? I'll pick you up."
"No need. Just stay at home."
Shen Siyan nodded. After seeing her off, he went back to the study and continued to copy "Ode to the Shanglin Garden".
When Shi Wan arrived at school, she, as expected, received another wave of envious and jealous looks. Zheng Zhi didn't dare to get too close to her now.
She walked straight over, and Zheng Zhi immediately took a few steps back.
"What are you doing?"
"Wanwan, what kind of a monster are you exactly?"
She swallowed hard, voicing the doubts of everyone.
"Demons are not allowed after the founding of the People's Republic."
Zheng Zhi was on the verge of tears. "But how can an ordinary person reach your level?"
"Study."
Zheng Zhi: "......"
It felt like all her years of study had been in vain.
"Are we still having class?"
"No. Let me ask you, have you dealt with Shi Qing's matter?"
Shi Wan tilted her head. "What's wrong?"
"She just won't change her ways. She's still spreading bad things about you. But since she probably can't find any other black material, most of it is just made - up nonsense."
Zheng Zhi picked up her phone and showed it to her. Shi Wan glanced at it. Underneath, all the comments from netizens were like "Mind your own business."
The author of the post had replied a few times, but later, finding that she couldn't argue with the netizens, she had to turn a blind eye.
"Could this be Shi Qing?"
"Not sure."
"I think it's very likely to be her. I heard that someone even wants to sign her as a celebrity. Isn't this just trying to ride on the wave of popularity?"
"Even negative popularity is still popularity."
"That's true."
Just as Zheng Zhi was about to say something else, suddenly a look landed on her. She withdrew her words awkwardly and sat down obediently.
After class, Shi Wan went to Bai Yun's law firm.
"You're a rare guest. Why does the emperor have time to visit this cold palace today?"
"Naturally, because you're useful."
Bai Yun: "......"
Heartless woman.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave."
"Go to the capital for me and handle a case. I'll send you the details on your phone."
"Does it include shipping fees and other expenses?"
Shi Wan gave her a sideways look. "When haven't I paid for everything?"
Bai Yun chuckled. "How did you manage to get into trouble in the capital? No, rather, who would dare to provoke you?"
"Plenty of people. But this time, it's not for me. It's for Shen Siyan."
Bai Yun: "......"
All my efforts were in vain.
"Got it. Get out of here quickly. I'll go there after I finish dealing with things here. It'll take at most three days."
"Okay." After a pause, she added, "Also, handle the share - related matter as soon as possible."
"Am I your slave?!"
"No, you're my imperial concubine."
"That's more like it. Bring some food for your imperial concubine. I'm starving."
Shi Wan hooked her lips and turned to leave.
At Heshanshan Restaurant.
Just as Shi Wan had finished packing the food, she saw Shen Siyan walking out of one of the private rooms. When he saw her, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Sweetheart, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm having dinner with a friend." Shen Siyan stepped forward. Seeing the things in her hands, he asked, "Where are you taking this packed food?"
"For Bai Yun." Shi Wan said calmly. "Aren't you with a friend? Go back in."
"It's okay. It's getting late now. I'll go with you to Miss Bai's place and then go back together."
"Si..."
A man came out. Before he could call out "Mr. Si", he was instantly silenced by Shen Siyan's warning look.
