Chapter 229: Babe, Can’t I Lean on You?

The post by @Horse was pushed to the top. Somehow, an order and the words he said appeared on Shi Wan's account.

Then, the internet exploded.

Eat a Roasted Shrimp: “Hahaha, donated 100,000? Your 100,000 has shrunk a bit, turning into 0.01? @Horse.”

Seven Jin: “This isn't shrinking. It's like not donating at all, yet still bragging. How embarrassing. Shi Wan is so tough!”

Too Impulsive Me: “Am I the only one who thinks Shi Wan is being overly fussy?”

So Pity Didn't Slap the Guy Above: “Emmm... To be honest, if you're found in an alley one day, I won't be surprised. Don't be so fussy either. Just let people beat you to death. Don't complain, or you'll be seen as petty.”

Love Unrequited Is a Pity: “Agree with the above. I feel like punching someone. @Too Impulsive Me, don't take it to heart. It's just a beating, right?”

“......”

@Horse was finally scolded so badly that his account was blocked.

Shi Wan threw down her tablet. People were cyber - bullying her. She couldn't just sit back and let them scold her, could she?

Some people on the internet were still arguing about whether she was a Western or a Chinese medicine doctor. Shi Wan thought this matter wouldn't escalate too much, but there were always some people who liked to seize on small issues and make a big deal out of them.

Shi Qing finally found a small handle at home. When she had no money, she created fake accounts. Eventually, the matter even escalated to the topic of human lives.

However, while scolding, she suddenly found that many of her fake accounts had been reported by a lot of people and blocked.

She was even warned by the official platform.

Nian Yi stepped in personally to clarify the matter and released videos of Shi Wan constantly busy. Only then did the voices on the internet gradually die down.

Many people were remembered and directly @ed under the official post.

@Nine Cloud Thunder Xiao: “Those people were so loud before. Why aren't they saying anything now?”

Nice - sounding: “They're scared. The official stepped in to clarify. How daring would those people have to be to keep making trouble?”

Little Monster: “They claimed to have evidence before and dug up so much information, but they couldn't withstand one official statement. It's really tough on you guys. Did Shi Wan offend someone? So many people want to crush her to death?”

Si Qi: “These days have been the most fun I've ever seen. A bunch of clowns jumped around for a few days, but they got scared before she even took action.”

“.......”

Come on, who would dare not believe the official's testimony?

If they continued to post, they might be presented with direct evidence, which would be embarrassing.

In the coffee shop, the two sat facing each other.

“Wanwan, I've been too busy these days and didn't notice the online news. I'm sorry you had to go through this.”

“It's okay. I've dealt with some of it myself, but I can't handle it all. As long as you're a person, there will always be someone who doesn't like you.”

Nian Yi smiled softly. “That's true.”

“How is Grandpa Nian recently?”

“He's fine. He just keeps complaining that you don't go back to visit him.” Nian Yi added some sugar for her. “But you don't have to worry about it. He's used to it.”

“I'll go back in a few days.”

Just as they were talking, Shen Siyan walked over, greeted Nian Yi, and sat down next to Shi Wan.

“I have something to do in the army. I'll leave first.”

Nian Yi was sensible enough not to interrupt the two.

“Okay, take your time.”

After a pause, he pulled her aside and whispered, “You did a great job on this mission. The higher - ups have specially granted you a break.”

She raised an eyebrow. “When am I not on a break?”

Nian Yi: “... That's true.”

“Go back quickly.”

Nian Yi's people were waiting outside. When they saw him come out, they left together.

“Darling, shall we go?”

Shen Siyan said calmly.

“Let's go. Let's go for dinner.”

“Okay.”

The two came to Heshan Restaurant. Instead of sitting in a private room, they sat by the window.

Shen Siyan peeled the shrimps, and she just ate. It looked very harmonious.

But there was always someone who couldn't stand such a scene.

“Isn't this Shen Siyan?” a man sneered. “He relied on the Shen family when he was a kid and now relies on his wife. He's really lucky.”

His eyes swept over Shi Wan, and he cursed silently. Shi Wan was so capable, yet she married such a good - for - nothing like Shen Siyan. It was so not worth it!

Shen Siyan didn't move. Instead, he looked at Shi Wan, whose face had turned cold. “Darling, can't I lean on you?”

“Don't listen to the barking of dogs.”

“You...” Thinking of what had happened recently, the man didn't dare to look Shi Wan in the eye. He turned all his anger on Shen Siyan.

“I'm just telling the truth. A man relying on a woman? You're just a good - for - nothing!” He spat. “You're really an embarrassment to us men!”

“When did the threshold of Heshan Restaurant get so low that even someone like you can get in?”

“Shi Wan, I don't want to argue with you since you're a woman...”

“What did you say?” She stood up and looked at the man coldly. “Apologize to him.”

“What did you say?” The man seemed to hear something very funny. “You want me to apologize to a good - for - nothing? What does he deserve it for?”

Shi Wan was impatient. She moved so fast that the man didn't even have time to see clearly. He just felt a pain in his popliteal fossa and knelt down in front of them with a thud.

“Apologize, or I can't guarantee what will happen next.”

“I...” The man was unwilling, but seeing Shi Wan's determined look, he knew she wasn't joking. “Sorry.”

“Who are you apologizing to?”

“Shen Si...”

Shi Wan poured a cup of tea on his head and raised an eyebrow. “Shen what?”

“......Young Master Shen.”

“Get out.”

After losing so much face, the man couldn't wait to leave. But instead of leaving the restaurant, he went upstairs.

Shi Wan frowned. “If there weren't so many people here, I would have beaten him to death!”

Shen Siyan laughed softly. “It's okay. Ignore him. Anyway, what he said is right. I do rely on you.”

He was practically penniless now. Wasn't he relying on her?

“But I won't let others talk about you like that.”

“Okay, I'll listen to you.” He served her some food. “Hurry up and eat. It will get cold soon.”

Hearing this, Shi Wan didn't think about what had just happened anymore.

“Shen Siyan, hiding behind a woman isn't manly! Have the guts to come out!”

The people who were eating were caught off guard by the familiar voice. They looked over and saw the man who had been beaten up by Shi Wan standing triumphantly at the stairs, laughing like... a fool?

This guy really wasn't afraid of death. He still didn't give up after being beaten.

A cold look flashed across Shen Siyan's eyes. Shi Wan stood up directly and beckoned to him.

“Come here.”

The man's legs went weak, but he still insisted. “This has nothing to do with women. Let Shen Siyan come out. After I settle the score with him, I'll have you kicked out!”

“Waiter, quickly bring your most expensive dishes. I'm going to celebrate later!”

Just when people were thinking this guy was looking for death, they suddenly saw the woman behind him and fell silent.

It seemed the situation was about to change.

Heshan Restaurant didn't allow trouble - making. That was the rule.

But now that the guy had connections, even if Shi Wan and Shen Siyan were in the right, they would still be kicked out.

They just didn't know who would be more powerful if Shi Wan faced off against the owner of Heshan Restaurant.

Thinking of the person behind him, the man became extremely arrogant. “It's all the same anyway. It will save time if I teach both of you a lesson together.”
