Chapter 37 Tea to Death

Shi Zhenqiang's angry words got stuck in his throat as he listened to Shi Wan crying until she started to hiccup.

"What's wrong with you?" Shi Zhenqiang asked in a suspicious voice.

Shi Wan burped and stammered, and finally seemed unwilling to say anything. He only said, "It's nothing. Auntie and Grandpa are very good to me..."

He choked up again at the end of the sentence.

Shi Zhenqiang didn't speak for a long time, as if he didn't know who to trust.

Shi Wan spoke again at the right time, hiccuping and asking: "Dad, when can you come back? I miss you..."

Before Shi Zhenqiang had investigated the matter thoroughly, he had no choice but to comfort her: "Dad will be back in a month, don't cry."

"Hmm... Woo..." Shi Wan's last cry seemed like she couldn't hold it back. She hung up the phone quickly as if she was afraid that Shi Zhenqiang would hear her crying.

Shi Zhenqiang felt distressed and annoyed, so he called Mao Yuzhen: "Didn't you say you could be a good mother? Is this how you treat my own daughter?!"

Mao Yuzhen's pupils dilated again. What kind of magic potion had Shi Zhenqiang been fed by this evening?

"The old man explained it very clearly just now. Could your father really lie to you?" Mao Yuzhen was also a little excited.

"My dad is a son-in-law, and he hasn't been happy with Wanwan for a long time. Why are you also making trouble?"

"I...it was obviously us who were bullied by Shi Wan! How can you still confuse right and wrong? What do you want me to say in order for you to believe it!"

"You said she slapped you in the face, so why don't you video chat with me so I can see if there are any slap marks on your face?"

"She hit me on the head! How can you see the slap mark?"

Shi Zhenqiang sneered, "Your words don't make sense, and you should draft your lies first."

When Mao Yuzhen saw that Shi Zhenqiang was starting to show favoritism, she immediately started to cry.

Shi Zhenqiang felt annoyed, "She's still a child, can't you just give in to her? Don't think I don't know why you brought my dad here!"

Shi Zhenqiang hung up the phone, turned around and looked at the two assistants who were accompanying him on the business trip. One was his previous assistant, and the other was Guan Yihan who had reported in early today.

"Sorry, let's continue."

"What's wrong? Can't the surveillance footage be adjusted?" Guan Yihan asked with concern.

Shi Zhenqiang rubbed his brows and said, "She said that Butler Wu and Shi Wan worked together to delete the surveillance footage."

After saying that, he sneered, "Wanwan has only been back for a few days this time? Does she have the ability to bribe the housekeeper who is loyal to me? If I were to say who is most likely to threaten the housekeeper, it must be my dad! And I asked her to show me the slap marks, but she didn't have any. Do you think the slap that knocked her to the ground would not have any marks?"

Guan Yihan didn't answer his question, but just comforted him: "Don't be upset, women are all possessive, let alone someone else's daughter, some are even jealous of their own daughter, you should understand."

Shi Zhenqiang was slightly startled, and suddenly he seemed to have an epiphany. He looked up at Guan Yihan blankly: "Are you saying that she can't tolerate Wanwan?"

Guan Yihan pretended to be frightened and said exaggeratedly: "Boss Shi, when did I say that? Don't make random accusations!"

But Shi Zhenqiang actually began to recall those things that happened a few years ago.

Seeing this, Guan Yihan asked again: "Should we continue?"

Shi Zhenqiang came back to his senses from his memories and said, "Continue."

------

Shi Wan went to wash her face and then called Pei Cheng.

She did not forget what she promised Pei Cheng yesterday, saying that she would change the light bulb for him. However, she did not expect that Lu Zhixia had arranged an offshore project today. After going out to sea, the signal of her mobile phone has been intermittent, and she was unable to contact Tan Pingshan to deal with it.

Pei Cheng didn't answer the phone calls, and Shi Wan's anxiety gradually grew. Could something have happened to him?

Shi Wan called several more times, but no one answered.

Did he faint?

Shi Wan got up, grabbed the car keys and went downstairs.

"You money-loser! Stop right there! What did you say to your dad? How could he not care about me?"

As soon as Shi Wan appeared, the old man became energetic again, and walked towards Shi Wan quickly while limping.

Shi Wan paused and looked at the old man coldly: "If you still want to get hurt, then I will accompany you."

She wanted to teach the old man a lesson, but she always remembered her grandfather's lesson in her heart.

When Shi Wan refused to go back to the countryside, my grandfather said: He is still your grandfather. No matter how much you dislike him, you should never forget your roots. Without him, there would be no father, and there would be no you and your brother.

Later, when she wanted to kill the old man, her grandfather said: Wanwan, if a dog bites you, would you bite it back? Ignoring is the highest level of contempt.

Shi Wan was very happy at that time. Her grandfather, who was always gentle and peaceful, actually agreed with her point of view. That old man was a dog. So she always followed her grandfather's teachings and ignored all the scumbags who were not worthy of her attention.

But grandpa...some people are worse than dogs.

The old man picked up the vase next to him and was about to throw it at Shi Wan: "You filthy, money-losing bastard, how dare you talk back?! Do you know how your grandmother died?!"

He was about to smash it down, but suddenly he remembered the wealthy families on TV. These ornaments might be worth hundreds of millions or even tens of millions. He stopped abruptly, put down the vase, and looked around for tools that could be used.

Shi Xinyan and Mao Yuzhen both understood.

Shi Xinyan ran over and got a baseball bat, and was about to hand it to the old man.

Shi Wan grabbed the vase that the old man had just put down and threw it directly at Shi Xinyan who was handing him the baseball bat.

Mao Yuzhen screamed: "Yan Yan!"

The old man even forgot to do anything as his attention was attracted by the broken vase. That was worth millions!

Shi Xinyan's head was hit and bleeding. She sat on the ground with her legs limp, her hands waving helplessly in the air. After several seconds, she screamed, "Ahhhhhhh!!!"

She didn't dare touch her face for fear of disfiguring it.

Mao Yuzhen saw that Shi Xinyan's face was not scratched by the debris, so she shouted, "Call the police! Call the police!!"

Butler Wu glanced at Shi Wan.

Shi Wan smiled coldly, looking down upon the three people in front of him: "Report! See who goes in!"

Butler Wu took out his cell phone.

"It would be best if the surveillance footage is not lost this time! Let the police analyze who the perpetrator is!" Shi Wan said coldly.

Mao Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, then immediately screamed: "Don't call the police! Don't call the police!"

Butler Wu put down his phone, and he looked very obedient to Mao Yuzhen.

Mao Yuzhen added: "Go delete the surveillance footage!"

Shi Wan chuckled again and stretched out her hands sarcastically. She was wearing leather gloves.

The three of them were puzzled. After looking at each other, they still didn't understand.

Shi Wan added: "Hurry up and delete it. Then we can see whose fingerprints are on the vase."

Mao Yuzhen opened her mouth, as if the breath was stuck in her throat. Then she pointed at Shi Wan and cursed: "You arranged it! Otherwise, why are you wearing gloves?!"

Shi Wan was slightly startled, as if he just remembered why he went downstairs, and his expression turned cold again: "Mao Yuzhen, you can call the police or do whatever you want, but you'd better consider all the consequences!"

After she finished speaking, she ran out the door again.
