"Then tell me what courtesy is?" Shi Wan lifted her eyes and said lazily, "Is it that I sit here quietly and listen to you one by one come and lecture and insult me, and I should be grateful for that? Is this respect for you?"
"If you want others to respect you, you should first learn to respect others. Otherwise, all you'll get is humiliation."
The woman tightened her grip on the wine glass. "They just came to remind you. Isn't this good advice? You don't cherish this opportunity. In the future..."
"Got it. Now I can also give you some advice."
"What?"
"You're about thirty, right? Work harder and worry less. Focus on your academic problems instead of being a gossiper and looking for trouble everywhere. Instead of bothering others, you should learn to improve yourself. What do you think, auntie?"
"You!"
The woman was so angry that she almost spat out blood. Although she was in her thirties, she was the youngest among these people and had good abilities. Who wouldn't call her teacher or sweetly call her sister when they saw her?
Only Shi Wan dared to call her auntie to her face!
"What? Do you still want others to call you a little sister at your age? Although every woman has this right, it depends on the person with me."
The woman's beautiful face distorted because of Shi Wan's words. Her face turned pale and then red, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Do you want to hear more? I can tell you."
The woman trembled with anger. Some of the wine in the glass spilled out. She turned around and left.
She would make Shi Wan lose face completely today. She would never show any mercy!
"How about it? I told you that girl is arrogant, right?"
Seeing the woman come back with a bad complexion, Liu Shi roughly guessed what had happened.
"Master, she's not just arrogant. She's completely disrespectful!"
Thinking of Shi Wan's words just now, the woman still trembled with anger.
"Forget it. We'll find another chance to teach her a lesson later. We're not the only ones who can't stand her here."
"I'll follow your lead, master."
After the first two examples, even those who wanted to find trouble with Shi Wan didn't dare to approach her in the end.
The seminar started. Well - known people in the industry gradually arrived. Everyone gathered around a few big names, while Shi Wan was left alone. She didn't care.
If it weren't for the organizer's sake, she wouldn't have come.
It was so boring.
"Hey, why isn't my junior sister here today? Didn't I tell her to come?"
Liu Shi was discussing a problem with Sun Yiran, a top - notch expert in the industry. The latter suddenly said this and looked around.
There were not many women present, only three or four. Hearing it was about a junior sister, everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on the women present.
But no one came forward to admit it.
"Senior brother, you know junior sister's personality. She never likes these occasions. It's unlikely that she'll come."
Tai Yong, Sun Yiran's second junior brother, had a doting look on his face. It was obvious that he also doted on this junior sister in his words.
Their master was the first person in China to take traditional Chinese medicine abroad. He only took in three apprentices in his life. But except for these two in front of them, the other one had never shown up.
No one knew her age. But according to the time, it had been ten years since she graduated from college. She should be in her twenties or thirties by now.
Among those present, the only person who might fit was Liu Shi's apprentice.
But since she was Liu Shi's apprentice, it couldn't be her.
The woman saw everyone's gazes and secretly clenched her fists. She also hoped that it was her.
She had been looking for so many years but hadn't even seen the person, let alone being taken in as an apprentice.
"Sigh... It's such a rare chance, but she doesn't even come."
Tai Yong smiled and said, "She's in City T. As long as we're here, we'll surely meet her one day."
"You know how busy she is. She's always nowhere to be found." Sun Yiran waved his hand. "Forget it. If she doesn't come to us, we'll go back and find her. If she dares not to see us, I'll break her legs on behalf of the master!"
"Senior brother is really ruthless."
Tai Yong chuckled. There was no trace of worry in his eyes. Sun Yiran was just all bark and no bite. When he saw someone slandering the junior sister on the Internet, wasn't he so angry that he couldn't sleep for several days?
Shi Wan, who had just come out of the toilet, felt her right eyelid twitch violently. When she saw Tai Yong and the others, she was about to go up and say hello, but seeing so many people around them, she decided to avoid the trouble and go up after it was over.
It had been a long time since they last met.
"Mr. Tai, may I ask who the person you're talking about is?"
Liu Shi and the others were very interested in the person they were talking about. If she had no reputation, maybe her strength was not good, but if she had a name, it would be different.
"She is..."
Just as Tai Yong was about to speak, someone started speaking on the stage.
Liu Shi had no choice but to give up. Anyway, there would surely be a chance to meet in the future.
When Sun Yiran was speaking on the stage, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't hide his excitement at all.
The people below were confused and followed his gaze, but they saw nothing.
What was going on?
Seeing the person, Sun Yiran didn't even feel like continuing his speech. He ended it hastily and walked towards Shi Wan.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you? You haven't finished your speech yet."
"I..." Sun Yiran's eyes flickered. He lied, "I suddenly have to go to the toilet. You go up and finish what I haven't said. Don't come down until you've finished, or I'll punish you on behalf of the master!"
He had to get this guy out of the way first, or this guy would surely take half of the junior sister's attention away.
Tai Yong: "..."
When did senior brother become so unreasonable?
"Senior brother."
Hearing the soft and familiar address from the girl, Sun Yiran was so excited that he almost shed tears.
How long had it been since he last heard this "senior brother"?
Although Tai Yong also called him that, he disliked it so much!
It was still the delicate and soft junior sister who was cute.
"Junior sister, I thought you weren't coming."
"I saw senior brother chatting happily with others just now, so I didn't interrupt."
"What interruption? As long as it's you, even if the president is here, I won't care."
Shi Wan smiled slightly. "Thank you, senior brother. Where's the second senior brother?"
Although there was a big age gap between them, the two senior brothers really took over from the master and continued to spoil her.
"Him? He's busy. It's okay. Let's not mention him. He's annoying all day."
Sun Yiran invited her to sit down beside him. Seeing this, others were confused.
Who on earth was this little girl?
She could even make Sun Yiran come to her in person and smile so kindly?
Liu Shi leaned towards his apprentice and thought of what had happened just now. "Do you think this little girl could be their junior sister?"
The woman's eyes darkened. "It's impossible. Her age doesn't match. Moreover, Shi Wan has a big reputation recently. If she were their junior sister, the Sun Yiran brothers couldn't not know."
It was true that Sun Yiran and the others had just arrived in City T. But if Shi Wan were their junior sister, in this kind of occasion, Shi Wan couldn't not come up to say hello.
What a good opportunity!
She could gain a lot of envy if she said it out.
