Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 186 - 119 Peace of Mind_3

Being ignored by Shu Wan, the assistant was even more annoyed, "Look, what’s the use of securing high scores in a college entrance examination? Once in society, she can’t handle the simplest human relations and her studies have probably addled her brains."

"Exactly, exactly." Seeing Liu Ying and Shu Wan didn’t get along, the others quickly agreed with the assistant’s words, "No matter how good a university you attend, it can’t teach you how to behave. Education really serves no purpose. The entertainment circle doesn’t care about academical credentials."

Listening to everyone’s words, Liu Ying’s lips curled up in a slight smile, "Let’s not say that. Being a top scorer, it’s normal to be arrogant, but why would a top scorer enter the entertainment circle? I always thought top scorers ended up as scientists."

"What else could it be for, if not for money?" the assistant quickly took over, "That’s why I say these newcomers, so young, all they think about is money; they don’t know anything else."

"Alright, alright, enough said. It’s normal for a young girl to be ignorant. Let’s not fuss over it too much and move on."

By then, Shu Wan had already walked outside, completely indifferent to what others said about her.

She had intended to go straight back to the set, but as soon as she got into the car, she received a call from Liu Zhaodi.

"Aunt Liu, is there something you need?"

"Dear, could you please help me buy a train ticket? I just went to the station and they said they were sold out, asked me to check online."

"A ticket? You want to go home?"

"Yes," Liu Zhaodi sighed, "I know my illness is incurable, and I don’t want to waste time here any longer. I want to go back."

"I’ll come to you now."

Saying this, Shu Wan had the driver take her to the hotel where Liu Zhaodi was staying. freēwēbnovel.com

It was a hotel Shu Wan had found for Liu Zhaodi, where she was staying alone although Zhang Fang occasionally came to visit her.

Upon arrival, Shu Wan noticed that even though Liu Zhaodi was ill, she still kept her room immaculately clean.

Seeing Shu Wan, Liu Zhaodi came forward, "Dear, I know you’re a good person, but I really don’t want to continue treatment."

"I can treat you for free, just give me three months, and if there’s no improvement, I’ll take you home. What do you think?"

Hearing what Shu Wan said, Liu Zhaodi was somewhat swayed, "But..."

"Just stay here comfortably, I’ll arrange for someone to come and take you for a check-up in a bit."

"Alright then, thank you so much." Liu Zhaodi said, and immediately knelt down to give Shu Wan three deep bows, "You truly have a heart of gold, you’ll surely live a long and prosperous life."

Shu Wan, caught between laughter and tears, helped Liu Zhaodi up, "That’s unnecessary, you should stand up. Whether it can be cured is still questionable."

"No worries, even if it can’t be cured, it doesn’t matter. I am already so grateful to have met someone like you."

Shu Wan wrote a prescription for Liu Zhaodi and instructed the hotel staff to prepare the medication three times a day.

After giving Liu Zhaodi a lengthy list of care instructions, Shu Wan finally left the hotel.

She had just reached the car when she noticed something was different about it, but seeing the same driver, Shu Wan didn’t think much of it.

The driver opened the door for her, and Shu Wan got into the car.

Then, she knew what was different.

This wasn’t her car; it was Fu Siyu’s.

And Fu Siyu, right then, was sitting inside the car, smiling and nodding at her, "The meeting ended early today, and hearing that you were around, I took a detour to pick you up."

The driver, sitting at the front, lips twitched unintentionally upon hearing this.

Haha, what a roundabout detour.

"I’m a bit hungry, let’s go eat." When she had left the photo shoot at the magazine, it was already noon, and after the delay at Liu Zhaodi’s, Shu Wan was quite hungry.

Fu Siyu handed Shu Wan a bag of biscuits, "Have some of these to tide you over."

Shu Wan took the biscuits, tore open the wrapper, and took a bite, her eyes lighting up, "These are delicious; how do you always find such tasty stuff?"

Before Fu Siyu returned, they would chat daily on WeChat.

Fu Siyu, who didn’t seem like a person who would care about snacks, was quite the connoisseur when it came to tasty treats.

Shu Wan always followed his recommendations, and every experience was delightful.

"I’m glad you like them." A hint of smile flashed in Fu Siyu’s eyes, "After we eat, how about I take you somewhere?"

"Sure."

Shu Wan had no reservations about Fu Siyu’s plans, which was probably a testament to the unique reassurance that Fu Siyu’s presence brought.
