Chapter 829 Still Holding a grudge
The huge stack of documents in Shen Ci's hand was really eye-catching. Even Li Wanchang, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but stare in surprise.
Li Xiao was even more surprised to realize at this moment that the "many" his father had mentioned actually meant this much.
The stack of documents must be at least several dozen pages high.
Li Wanchang received his copy of the document and sat down next to Shen Ci. The document, placed next to Shen Ci, looked pitifully thin.
Li Xiao couldn't bear to watch, so he took Qiu Keying out.
"Uncle Li, is that all you have?" Shen Ci asked casually.
Li Wanchang smiled and explained, "I was a beat too late, so I only got these."
As he spoke, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to Shen Ci's stack of papers, and he couldn't help but ask, "When did you find out about this? How did you manage to get so much?"
Shen Ci stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Li Wanchang. Li Wanchang quickly said, "Uncle, you asked too much. This is something we definitely won't let others know."
"Actually, it wouldn't hurt to tell your uncle; it's not like it's anything legitimate."
Upon hearing Shen Ci's words, Li Wanchang immediately looked at her with a serious expression. Shen Ci smiled and said, "I dreamed about it."
Li Wanchang: "..."
I don't believe you for a second!
Even though he knew Shen Ci did it on purpose, he wasn't angry. After all, no one has an obligation to tell you about such things.
"I heard that Uncle Li's company is having a new AI product launch event soon?"
After a long pause, Shen Ci suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.
Li Wanchang nodded but did not reply.
After all, their group's artificial intelligence business has suffered a lot in the past year, and the root cause is Shen Ci.
As a person in a position of power, Li Wanchang certainly has a broad mind and vision, but he only maintains a superficial harmony.
Deep down, he actually resented Shen Ci and "Calabash Brothers Studio" more than anyone else.
Shen Ci was well aware of this, but that was her purpose.
She not only didn't want the Li family to have an easy time, but she also wanted to make Li Wanchang suffer from time to time.
"Uncle Li, would you like to invite me?" Shen Ci looked up at the other person with sincere eyes: "My team has close cooperation with almost all domestic artificial intelligence projects, so I should be considered an industry insider, right?"
The only exception among these close partners was the Li family.
How could Li Wanchang not hear the veiled meaning in Shen Ci's words? His heart sank, and his tone became somewhat emotional: "But you rejected us, didn't you?"
“That’s perfectly reasonable!” Shen Ci shrugged as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “I promised Auntie that I would not have any dealings with Li Xiao in the future, and I will definitely keep my word.”
"In the end, it's all because of Xiaozai." Li Wanchang sighed helplessly. "Young people need to learn to let go. You're so young, you have a long road ahead of you. Why hold a grudge over someone until now?"
Holding a grudge?
This word was used very precisely, and Shen Ci accepted it immediately.
She is still holding a grudge because she was powerless in her past life, and that's why she's still holding a grudge in this life.
After checking the materials in his hand, Li Wanchang stood up and glanced at Shen Ci. He seemed to be thinking about something, but then suddenly said, "You can come if you're interested."
Shen Ci smiled slightly: "Uncle Li, please go up first. I'll be here for a while."
Li Wanchang choked for a moment, then signed the document and left the office.
Li Xiao hurriedly came forward: "Dad, isn't Shen Ci finished yet?"
"Such a thick stack, how can it be done so quickly?"
"Where did she get so much land?" Li Xiao was extremely puzzled, his intense curiosity almost making his heart explode: "Let alone finding so much land, even if all this land were delivered to her, how much money would she have to pay all at once?"
"Regardless of how much money she puts out at once, she's made an astronomical sum this time."
The subsequent procedures were not complicated, and Shen Ci was only responsible for signing documents. However, because she had to review many more documents than others, the process took relatively longer.
Nearly three hours later, she came out of the Urban Construction Bureau and went to her car, where she found an envelope tucked into the windshield wiper.
When I pulled it out and opened it, it turned out to be an invitation.
It was left behind by Li Wanchang before he left.
Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh. She had just casually mentioned it to annoy him, but she didn't expect him to actually give her an invitation.
After getting in the car, Shen Ci drove directly to the hotel where Xiao Min was staying.
"Pack your things?"
In the hotel, Xiaomin immediately became nervous when her sister told her to pack her things: "Sis, where are we going?"
"Your aunt asked me to pick you up and take you home."
The word "go home" scared Xiaomin out of her wits in an instant, but before she could react, Shen Ci quickly explained, "Go back to my home. With the college entrance exam approaching, your aunt still thinks it would be better for you to go back to live there for your final push."
"No, no need to trouble you, sister." Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt that it was too much trouble for her aunt's family: "I'm fine living here, it's not noisy at all."
Shen Ci sighed: "Living here costs money, and you'll have to pay back your aunt all the money spent on you in the future. Going back home will be rent-free; every little bit helps."
“I can pay it back!” Shen Min said earnestly. “I just feel that you and Aunt have already done so much for me, and I don’t want to stay at your house and cause you any trouble.”
“If your aunt and I were afraid of trouble, we wouldn’t have taken care of you in the first place.” Chen Ci was too lazy to beat around the bush and simply explained directly, “We didn’t bring you home at first because we were afraid you would see our current situation and secretly tell your grandma and your dad. But we went back to our hometown before, right? Now they know what they need to know, so there’s no need for us to hide it anymore. So we’re not guarding against you anymore. Do you understand?”
Xiaomin was stunned by these words, and finally nodded blankly: "Sister, I definitely won't say anything."
"Pack your things and come back with me."
Shen Min dared not refuse again, otherwise she would seem ungrateful. She obediently nodded and began to pack her things herself.
The temperature is gradually warming up. Xiaomin's decent clothes were all brought to her by Lianxing when she came in winter. Chen Ci watched her pack and said, "I'll ask your sister Lianxing to send you some thinner clothes later."
Have you decided which university to apply to?
Shen Min paused, then nodded: "I want to apply to a university specializing in political science and law."
"Studying law?" Shen Ci frowned, reminding her, "Studying law is very tough."
"I like it, and I'm not afraid of hardship."
After packing their luggage, Xiaomin pulled a large suitcase by herself, while Shenci helped her pull a small suitcase. Just as they were about to leave, Xiaomin suddenly said, "Sister, I called my mom a couple of days ago, and she said that my second uncle and second aunt have divorced."
