Chapter 36 It’s all in vain

Zhan Xu sent Shi Wan back to Shi's home. From a distance, Shi Wan heard the chaotic barking of dogs and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I really don’t know what a mess my house is in now.

She got out of the car, leaned over and said to Zhan Xu in the car: "Tomorrow is the second audition, and after it's over, you will be ready to join the crew, and the company will be handed over to you."

Zhan Xu listened and said, "Then I will go abroad. If you have any urgent matters, call Pei Lie."

Shi Wan was stunned. She didn't know when Zhan Xu and Pei Lie had such a good relationship, but now she was more curious: "Are you... going to look for my brother?"

Her voice was trembling violently, not sure if it was excitement or anticipation.

"I'll go check out the situation first and see what conditions they want."

There were complicated emotions in Shi Wan's eyes.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly. When she opened her eyes again, most of those emotions had disappeared. She grinned, "Don't force yourself. If the situation is not right, run away. If that person takes a fancy to you, I really don't know how to rescue you two."

She was joking, but she meant it.

If she could have found a way to rescue her brother, she might not have thought of coming back to take revenge on Mao Yuzhen and Jiang Yifeng in her previous life. It was because she couldn't solve her brother's problem that she resented Mao Yuzhen and her children who caused all this.

Zhan Xu smiled faintly, stared into her eyes and said, "It's not shameful to ask for help. If you encounter difficulties, you can go to Zhan Rongchuan. Although he will embarrass you, he will help you in the end."

Shi Wan was startled, with a sudden flash of fear in his eyes. He grabbed the door frame fiercely and said, "Why do you look like you are telling me what to do after your death?"

Zhan Xu pulled up the corner of his mouth helplessly: "You were drunk that night and said you didn't dare to come to me even though you were forced into a desperate situation. I don't want you to face this situation on your own next time."

Shi Wan's eyes were filled with even more fear. What else did she say that night that she shouldn't have said?

Seeing this, Zhan Xu said again: "You also kissed me."

Hearing that he didn't say anything he shouldn't, Shi Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised an eyebrow at Zhan Xu: "What? Sister's skills are better than those women of yours, right?"

Zhan Xu was slightly startled, as if he had not expected Shi Wan to react like this, and then he raised the corner of his mouth again: "Not quite there yet, practice more."

Shi Wan's smile was uncontrollably stiff, and he curled his lips, "Hard talk!"

She stood up and patted Zhan Xu's car casually: "Help me bring my brother back, and I'll reward you with a big one! Let's go!"

Zhan Xu didn't leave, his eyebrows slightly raised: "What's so big?"

Shi Wan smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell you when I get back."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the villa.

After Zhan Xu watched her figure disappear through the gate, the smile on his lips deepened and the sadness in his eyes became even more intense.

Shi Wan covered her heart as she entered the room. She tried hard to recall what happened that night and felt very regretful. Even if she could remember just a little bit of the kissing scene, she would be happy!

"It's late!" It was the voice of the old man's father.

The affection in Shi Wan's eyes disappeared instantly.

This old man is really a bad old man. If it weren’t for her grandfather, he would have bullied her and her mother to the point of depression.

Obviously, Shi Zhenqiang is a live-in son-in-law, but this old man really thinks that his son is a rare talent. It is Shi Zhenqiang's ability that allowed him to marry the daughter of a wealthy and prestigious family, not because Fu Wan is blind.

Every time the old man came, he would talk about Ahua, Afang, Cuihua and other women in the village. These women were all thinking about his precious son and were willing to give birth to a son for Shi Zhenqiang. His words were threatening Fu Wan to cherish him, saying that his son was a treasure.

But what the old man said was true. Every time Shi Wan was forced to go back to see his grandparents, those women like Ahua, Afang, Cuihua and others wanted to chop Shi Wan into pieces and each take a piece back to worship.

At that time, Fu Jun refused to go back to his hometown on the grounds that he was busy with his studies. Shi Wan, who was not good at studying, was forced to return to his hometown to fulfill his filial duties.

When she thought of the old man eating her dog, she wanted to dig his stomach into hers.

The old man looked her up and down and said, "Didn't your stepmother tell you that I was coming today? And you came back so late! How shameless! Which man did you do such a dirty thing with outside?"

Shi Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, ignoring everything. This was the trap Mao Yuzhen had set for her. She wanted the person she hated the most to appear and upset her, but in the end his true colors were revealed, he turned the house upside down, and finally she was kicked out again.

It’s all routine, it’s all routine…

Shi Wan was reciting sutras in his heart, ignoring the old man's dirty abuse, and just greeted him lightly: "Grandpa."

Then he went straight into the house.

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" The old man grabbed her tightly, pointed at the ruined flowers and plants in the garden, and twisted Shi Wan's ear with one hand, "Do you know how much those flowers and plants cost? You actually let these cheap things ruin them! The Shi family can't afford a spendthrift woman like you!"

Shi Wan's face was twisted and she grimaced in pain.

Mao Yuzhen and her daughter who were standing nearby were all giggling and whispering, probably saying that she deserved it!

But Shi Wan could see that Shi Zhenqiang must have told the old man not to touch those dogs, otherwise, with the old man's fighting ability, no matter how many vicious dogs there were, they would not be his match.

"Dad! Dad!" Shi Wan cried out.

Shi Xinyan gloated: "Dad went to Country D today, no one would know even if you shouted at the top of your lungs!"

"You still want to sue me?" The old man exerted even more force with his hands.

After hearing Shi Xinyan's words, Shi Wan regretted it for a moment. Why was she still pretending?

She stamped hard on the old man's toes with her heel.

The old man cried out in pain, let go of Shi Wan's ear, and fell to the side holding his foot. He was in so much pain that he temporarily had no energy to teach Shi Wan a lesson.

Mao Yuzhen hurried over, trying to take the opportunity to push Shi Wan hard: "How can you treat your own grandfather like this? You are so uneducated!"

Shi Wan gave her a big slap with his backhand, and Mao Yuzhen was knocked down beside the old man. Her body was completely out of control at the moment she was slapped.

The old man was shocked.

Mao Yuzhen was also shocked.

Shi Wan looked at Shi Xinyan who didn't dare to step forward, raised an eyebrow and asked her: "Do you want to try it too?"

Shi Xinyan shook her head slightly unconsciously.

Shi Wan looked down at the old man and Mao Yuzhen, "Have you never investigated what kind of movies I make in Hollywood? I never use a stunt double. I'm not a martial arts expert, but I'm more than capable of dealing with the old, weak, women and children like you. If you keep whining, I don't mind using all my moves on you."

The two of them flinched.

After saying that, Shi Wan walked away from the two frightened people and winked at Butler Wu.

Butler Wu calmly gave Shi Wan a look that showed he had received it.

It was evening when we went upstairs.

Butler Wu went to the monitoring room.

Less than half an hour later, Shi Zhenqiang called.

Shi Wan looked at the phone at his feet and slowly pressed the speaker button.

His furious voice came in: "It's late!!!"

Shi Wan also burst into tears at this moment: "Dad!!!"
