☆, Chapter 22: Adequate dosage
She withdrew her hand and walked past him and went downstairs. The watermelon had been cut and placed on the coffee table in the living room. She sat down, picked up a piece of watermelon and put it in her mouth. It was very sweet.
Wen Yuci stood upstairs, looked down at his tie, and slowly smiled. Was he too greedy? He just wanted to share some watermelon, so how could that be considered greedy?
Uncle Qiao, the housekeeper, came in from outside, glanced upstairs, and said to Shu Wanning, "Young Madam, Shu Min is here again, with his wife and daughter."
"not see."
"Oh, okay."
Suddenly, Shu Wanning put down the watermelon and said, "Uncle Qiao, wait a moment, let them in."
Uncle Qiao nodded, and Shu Wanning waved to the person wiping the table: "Xiaomei, come here."
Xiaomei walked forward and bent down. Shu Wanning whispered a few words into her ear. Xiaomei nodded and ran to the kitchen.
Wen Yuci, who was about to go downstairs, stopped and saw that she seemed to have an idea. Suddenly, he felt that watching a play was also a good choice.
Shu Wanning took out her phone and searched for a small game to play. Uncle Qiao let them in at the door and said politely with a smile, "Sorry everyone, the car we use to receive guests in the courtyard is broken down and is being repaired. Please excuse me for walking over there."
Shu Min looked around, at the distance that would take at least five minutes to walk, and looked at the housekeeper with dissatisfaction.
Shu Xin pulled her mother Zhao Wei and whispered, "It's so far, is there only one car in the yard?"
Zhao Wei: "Keep your voice down and be more cautious when you enter."
Uncle Qiao laughed in his heart. How could there be only one reception car? The car could also be driven into the courtyard. It was just that the young lady didn't like them, so naturally she couldn't let them enter Qianyue Bay comfortably.
He led the way. Shu Xin's eyes scanned the entire manor. She pinched Zhao Wei's arm and said, "Mom! Why is Shu Wanning so lucky?"
Shu Wanning had just finished a level of a mini-game when she heard a sound coming from the door. She adjusted the thin blanket on her body and sat up straight.
The three of them changed into slippers and walked into the living room. They looked around, their eyes rolling around, and the jealousy on their faces was not concealed at all.
Shu Min was holding a gift in his hand. He stepped forward, forcing a smile on his face as he said, "Ningning, Dad bought you some small gifts. I was really too impulsive last time."
Zhao Wei, standing aside, echoed, "Yes, Ningning, these gifts are specially selected by us. Come and see if you like them."
Shu Xin was pushed by Zhao Wei. She seemed a little reluctant, but still called out, "Sister Ningning."
Shu Wanning glanced at the gifts indifferently. They were very valuable. Shu Min was quite willing to spend money this time.
She nodded: "You guys sit down first."
Xiaomei brought four cups of coffee at the right time. The three people who had been gone for a long time all picked up the coffee and drank it. When Xiaomei turned around, she couldn't hold back her laughter.
Shu Wanning raised her eyes and asked calmly, "What do you want from me today? Do you need me to be delivered to another boss this time?"
Shu Min was startled by her words and hurriedly looked around to see if Wen Yuci was there.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I know I was wrong."
Zhao Wei: "Ningning, your father and I had a fight over this. Don't worry, he won't dare to do it again."
Shu Xin also made peace with him: "Sister Ningning, please forgive Dad."
Shu Wanning drank her coffee slowly without saying anything, which made Shu Min feel even more anxious.
He rubbed his hands and whispered, "Ningning, this is our family matter, there's no need to let President Wen know."
Shu Wanning slowly raised her eyebrows. It turned out that she was afraid that Wen Yuci would know what they had done to her, so she lowered her posture to see her.
She put down her coffee cup, looked up at Shu Min, and asked with an innocent look, "Do you think there's anything he can't find out?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wei couldn't sit still any longer. She glared at Shu Wanning and said, "Shu Wanning, I don't know what methods you used to be with the eldest young master of the Wen family, but we have raised you for more than ten years. Since you want to get married, you should give us the betrothal money!"
Shu Wanning shook her head indifferently: "I can't give it to you."
She gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, smiled faintly and said, "You raised me for eight years and abused me for eight years. After I became an adult, I worked to earn money on my own and even gave you a lot of money.
And you used me to exchange money with various bosses, you won’t forget these, right?
Want a betrothal gift? Be careful, I'll tell Wen Yuci and he'll ask for a dowry from you."
Her attitude made Shu Min stand up angrily, pointing at her and shouting, "Shu Wanning! You've climbed up the social ladder now, and you're so arrogant. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll be dumped?"
Shu Wanning put down the spoon in her hand, leaned back on the sofa and shrugged: "So what? As long as I'm Mrs. Wen for one day, I can be unrestrained for one day."
Shu Xin clenched her palms, looked at Shu Wanning unwillingly and said sarcastically: "What an ungrateful person!"
Hearing this, Shu Wanning gave her a rare, mocking smile, "You ungrateful bastard? The Shu family raised me just for the purpose of marriage, and you're not happy that the other family is unwilling to agree to your exorbitant bride price.
Shu Xin, you are filial and not an ungrateful person, so go and get married."
Zhao Wei couldn't bear to see his daughter being wronged. He stood up and was about to say something when Shu Wanning interrupted him: "There's no need to say anything more. In order to thank you for raising me, I have already agreed to the marriage.
But you haven't forgotten what you have done to me over the years, have you? "
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Wei with cold eyes, and the upturned corners of her eyes seemed to cut her sharply.
Shu Min's face was originally full of anger, but now sweat appeared on his forehead, and Shu Xin also covered her stomach.
Shu Xin: "Dad... my stomach hurts."
Shu Min gritted his teeth, looked at Xiaomei beside him and asked, "Where is the bathroom?"
Xiaomei smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our young master likes things to be clean. It would be better for you to go home and take care of it."
Zhao Wei held his stomach and supported Shu Xin. Everyone saw the miserable state of the three of them. Shu Min hurriedly pulled them out quickly.
Shu Wanning looked at the three coffee cups in front of him, turned away with disdain and said, "Xiaomei, throw these cups away."
Wen Yuci, who had been watching the show for a while, came downstairs, glanced at the coffee table and asked, "Did you put something in their coffee?"
"Just a laxative."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Aren't you afraid of taking the wrong cup and taking it yourself?"
Shu Wanning: "Mr. Wen didn't see the whole show. Xiaomei handed me my coffee."
Xiaomei, who was clearing the cups, said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam, I gave you a sufficient dose of medicine!"
