Chapter 58: Preventing Disaster
Shen Huaian thought he could scare her, but he saw that Shen Wan's expression remained calm.
"Whatever."
The three of them were stunned.
I thought I heard it wrong.
“I said, we need to bring your adoptive parents out of the mountains and take care of you where you live,” Shen Huaian repeated in a serious tone.
Chen Wan shrugged, looking nonchalant: "Okay."
Now all three of them were confused.
In the past, whenever her adoptive father was mentioned, she would turn pale and tremble all over as if she was suffering from stress.
Why is it different now?
It was as if her adoptive father was just an insignificant stranger whom she didn't take seriously at all.
Shen Huaian narrowed his cloudy yet shrewd eyes and stared at Shen Wan.
He didn't believe that one year could make the timid child become so strong.
Shen Jianming couldn't help but scold Shen Wan when he saw his old father's face turned blue with anger.
"If Grandpa hadn't brought you back, you would still be doing hard labor in the mountains carrying manure, and you couldn't even get enough to eat. Now everyone is humbly asking you to go home and live a good life, and you're still not happy?"
Liu Meifang also said: "Yes, Wanwan, how did you talk to grandpa? Apologize to grandpa now."
"I begged you to take me back?" Shen Wan asked bluntly.
"Chen Wan!" Shen Huaian was really angry, and his dragon-headed cane banged loudly, "Are you really willing to go back to the countryside and continue to live a hard life? If so, then fine, grandpa will send you back now and never care about you again."
Shen Wan said with a smile: "Why do I have to choose between the Shen family and the countryside?"
"I am an adult and I have my own judgment."
"I won't go back to the Shen family, and I won't go to the countryside either."
"I am happy to live in a haunted house, and none of you can stop me."
Shen Huaian was so angry that his eyes widened, and he swung his cane towards her face.
"Okay, okay, you've grown strong enough and you don't need Grandpa and the Shen family anymore."
"In that case, I won't force you. Just don't come back crying and beg the Shen family to give you a bite to eat!"
Shen Wan smiled and said, "I just ask the Shen family not to kneel down and beg me in the future."
Shen Huai'an's heart sank, his face turned pale: "You are really against Tiangang, when will the Shen family be in a situation where they have to kneel down and beg you?"
Chen Wan smiled: "Not the best."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." She stood up, paused, and said, "By the way, Mr. Shen, please tell your sons not to bother me again. I don't know how to control my severity. Don't blame me if you hurt anyone next time."
Shen Jianming was furious: "You are really crazy!"
The three of them watched Shen Wan leave home.
"Dad, I told you that we can't take this little girl back. Look at how arrogant she is. People who don't know her would think she's so great!" Shen Jianming was so angry.
Shen Huaian’s old face was gloomy, and he said coldly: “Shen Wan must return home.”
Shen Jianming and Liu Meifang looked at each other, neither of them understanding why the old man insisted that she go home.
"Dad, you've seen how rebellious Chen Wan is. When she comes back, she makes a scene that makes the whole house a mess. Anyway, I don't recognize this daughter."
Shen Huaian hit him on the head with his cane, "You have to admit it even if you don't want to!"
"Dad!" Shen Jianming felt aggrieved: "I really don't understand why she must go home. What's so good about her?"
"I won't hide it from you two anymore." Shen Huaian revealed the secret, "I have calculated the fortune for our Shen family. In the next five years, our whole family will be in trouble. Only if Shen Wan returns home to ward off the disaster can the whole family survive safely. Otherwise, our fortune will get worse and worse."
Shen Jianming laughed angrily: "Dad, what era is this? Why are you still superstitious?"
Shen Huaian sneered, "Superstitious? Think about it yourself, did you find out that you had a tumor before Shen Wan went home?"
"The company run by Changfeng has a funding problem. Yunyi was exposed during surgery and almost got infected with the virus. Mo Ran was kidnapped while attending a technology seminar abroad. Luo Yu drowned while filming. Qianxue had nightmares all day and couldn't sleep for several days. And Jiaojiao and Xiaohao also encountered some bad luck and suffered minor injuries from bumps and bruises."
"On the night that Chen Wan was taken home, Changfeng's company resumed normal operations, Yunyi's test results showed that he was not infected, Mo Ran was rescued by the international police, and Luo Yu, a blessing in disguise, attracted more fans, and Qianxue no longer had nightmares."
"And you, the examination showed that it was a malignant tumor, but after it was removed, there was nothing wrong with you at all."
After being reminded by his old father, Shen Jianming thought about it carefully and it was true.
Ever since Shen Wan came home, the fortunes of each of them have become very good and are prospering.
"Think about it again, after Chen Wan ran away from home, did your family encounter a lot of bad things?"
"Dad, it's really what you said!" Shen Jianming was surprised, "Is Shen Wan so powerful?"
Shen Huaian said in a deep voice: "Shen Wan has a bad fate and few relatives, but she has one advantage. She is a benefactor to our whole family. As long as we keep her, she can not only protect the whole family from disasters, but also boost our fortunes."
Shen Jianming suddenly realized: "So Dad, you tried every possible means to keep her here."
"Yeah, who knew that you guys bullied her every day and made her angry and left." Shen Huai'an was furious, "No matter what, we must find her back."
"As long as she stays at home for five years, the disaster for the whole family will be over after five years."
Liu Meifang asked curiously: “Dad, what will happen to Shen Wan in five years?”
Shen Huaian looked indifferent: "She is like a medicine lead, and after use, she is just medicine dregs."
Shen Jianming reacted quickly: "Dad means that Shen Wan will die in five years?"
“I don’t know whether she will die or not.” Shen Huaian said indifferently: “She only needs to protect the whole family from disaster for five years, and after five years, the Shen family will survive the disaster.”
"Dad, I understand. I will tell the children now that even if they have to pretend, they should pretend to be nice to Shen Wan and let her come home to continue to ward off disasters and bring prosperity to us." Shen Jianming said.
"The fewer people who know about this, the better, lest the news leaks out and Shen Wan finds out, she will be even more reluctant to go home."
Shen Huaian suggested: "Just tell the children to accept Shen Wan. Shen Wan is so angry, isn't she hoping that the whole family can accept her?"
"That's what she wishes."
"Before that, find someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her run around. Bring her back when she's almost there."
"The longer she stays outside, the worse it will be for the Shen family's fortune."
Shen Jianming was now anxious, and quickly called his children, saying that he wanted to hold a family meeting and no one could be absent.
Except for Shen Wan and Shen Shuhao who was in juvenile detention, the other six were called back home.
When I heard my father say that everyone should accept Shen Wan again and treat her as a family member.
The Shen brothers and sisters suddenly had different expressions on their faces.
