Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 144 - 83: Saving People

Shu Wan always felt that the character "Yu" seemed a bit strange.

But she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was strange about it.

Moreover, Fu Siyu using her calligraphy as his profile picture was an acknowledgment of her work, and if she started to doubt him just like that, it wouldn’t seem right.

Shu Wan could only forcibly suppress the doubts lingering in her heart.

Yet, Fu Siyu specifically asked, "I’m using your calligraphy for my profile picture, you don’t mind, right?"

What else could Shu Wan say? She could only smile, "I don’t mind at all."

Fu Siyu’s popularity online was truly astounding at the moment; any trivial action of his could trigger a huge sensation.

Now that he had changed all his social media profile pictures, it naturally sparked everyone’s curiosity.

"What’s going on? Why did my husband suddenly change his profile picture? But really, that calligraphy looks pretty nice."

"Show some respect to the person in front, that’s my husband you’re talking about. What are you even saying?"

"Passing by as a calligraphy student, I just want to say it’s nice to have money, he can actually afford such an incredible calligrapher to write his profile picture. This character is something our professors would want to cherish."

In WeChat, the few friends Fu Siyu had all inquired as well.

"Hey, what’s the occasion? Mr. Fu actually changed his age-old profile picture."

Fu Siyu merely replied with a simple, "It looks nice."

"Yeah right."

Meanwhile, a man dressed in black work clothes smiled as he put his phone back into his pocket, single-handedly pulled out an AK from behind, and fired at the person rushing towards him.

The next second, the person attempting a sneak attack lay on the ground.

"You thought I’d be too busy with my phone to deal with you guys?" The man raised his peach blossom eyes, bent down, and pulled out a map from the waist of his fallen enemy. Then, he headed straight into the city.

As he walked, he took out his cell phone and continued gossiping, "Mr. Fu, come on, tell me, which great beauty is it this time? That picture from last time was the sister-in-law, right? Knowing you, there’s a 90% chance that it was her who wrote this."

Fu Siyu did not respond to his question but instead shifted the topic, "When you’re done with your stuff there, come back to the country for a bit."

"Sure," the man couldn’t wait, "Can I meet sister-in-law then?"

After a while, Fu Siyu replied with two words, "You may."

In Imperial City, after Shu Wan finished writing for Fu Siyu, she suddenly felt an urge to practice more calligraphy.

She had just started writing a few characters when Wang Tian called her.

"Baby, let’s discuss something," Wang Tian’s voice always had an extra sleazy touch whenever he needed something from Shu Wan.

Though he was not in front of Shu Wan at the moment, she could imagine him giggling while rubbing his hands together.

"What is it?"

"Your stepson, can you sign him over to me? I see huge potential in him."

Despite believing Fu Yang to be outrageously temperamental,

Wang Tian was confident in the entertainment industry—a star’s face value means everything. As long as Fu Yang’s appearance holds up, Wang Tian was certain that a new superstar was on the rise under his management.

"No," Shu Wan decisively rejected him. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Why?" Wang Tian wailed, "Don’t you want to make money? Hand Lin Yang over to me, trust me, we’ll split the profits fifty-fifty."

"When he’s 20, if he wants to enter the entertainment circle, I won’t stop him."

Fu Yang was still a minor. Although he often acted more maturely than many adults,

Shu Wan felt that he was not yet fully capable of self-recognition.

Before Fu Yang became an adult, Shu Wan did not want him stepping into such a complex environment.

"Alright then." Although Wang Tian had long coveted Fu Yang’s striking appearance, he couldn’t force a child into the entertainment circle, "I’ll wait a few more years then."

With his plan to lure Fu Yang thwarted, Wang Tian had to think of another strategy.

He thought of Shu Wan and immediately started to feel a headache. With Shu Wan’s face and poise, if she wasn’t so capricious, would he even contemplate involving a child in his schemes?

"Ancestor, are you really going to sit for the college entrance exam?"

With the college entrance exam less than a week away, the area around the school was already buzzing with intense fervor.

"Mmm." Shu Wan responded calmly, "Is there a problem?"

"Can’t we just not go?" Wang Tian made one last desperate attempt.

Wang Tian could already envision the media frenzy that would ensue.

"No," Shu Wan decisively refused, "I’m almost fully prepared."

Shu Wan had never participated in a college entrance exam, but based on her current accuracy rate with practice exams, she felt quite confident.

Wang Tian’s sigh almost shattered his phone, but what could he do? He was just a small agent after all. He couldn’t stop Shu Wan from attending the exam.

"I’ll pick you up after the exam, remember to wear a hat and mask, don’t let the reporters catch you."

"Mm." Shu Wan, busy with her calligraphy practice, responded absentmindedly.

After hanging up, Shu Wan practiced her calligraphy for a while longer before she put away her brush and decided to go buy a few more practice papers.

She had just left the bookstore when she heard an argument nearby, peppered with various shrieks.

Shu Wan hadn’t planned on getting involved, and she continued walking forward with her items, but after just a few steps, a figure rushed toward her.

"Sister Shu, save me."

Shu Wan looked up and recognized Xiao Lin, whom she had saved once before.

Behind Xiao Lin, a group of burly men were approaching.

Shu Wan questioned, "How did you provoke them?"

"It’s my brother’s enemies. I went out today without my bodyguard, and they happened to run into me," Xiao Lin explained hastily, "I’m sorry, Sister Shu."

While they talked, the burly men had approached and were about to grab Xiao Lin.

Shu Wan pulled Xiao Lin behind her and coldly faced the group.

"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in our business, you can still get away now, otherwise with your delicate arms and legs, we might break them."

Shu Wan’s eyes turned cold, "In broad daylight, you just snatch people off the street, completely disregarding the law?"

"How we handle things is none of your concern," the burly man retorted and stepped forward.

Just then, Shu Wan suddenly raised her arm and waved towards someone nearby.

The burly men thought Shu Wan was preparing to fight and scoffed at her slim arms, "What are you thinking, do you really think you can fight us?"

As they closed in, Xiao Lin was still clueless about what was happening when Shu Wan pulled him down to lie on the ground.

When the group was about to attack Xiao Lin, Shu Wan whispered in his ear, "Scream in pain."

Xiao Lin cooperated, following Shu Wan’s instructions and screamed loudly.

The expected fight didn’t ensue because, right behind the troublemakers, a group of police officers appeared and had already apprehended them.

By then, Shu Wan had also risen from the ground and dusted herself off, "Officer, my head really hurts, and I feel dizzy. I think I need to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Hearing Shu Wan’s words, the policemen panicked.

After all, they had just watched a group of men knock Shu Wan and Xiao Lin to the ground.

With Shu Wan being so slim, they feared she might have a concussion.

"Okay, we will arrange for someone to take you to the hospital; we’ll take the suspects back first."

"Thank you," Shu Wan, holding her head, gave Xiao Lin a knowing look, then got into the car.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Lin leaned in, curious, and looking at the red mark on Shu Wan’s face, "Sister Shu, that red mark."

"Ink from a red pen," Shu Wan whispered, "I just bought a red pen in the bookstore."

"....." Xiao Lin was stunned, not knowing this was possible, "I thought you were going to fight them."

"I could have, but it wasn’t necessary."

Fighting them would be a waste of time and energy for Shu Wan; she had just learned a trick online recently and had the chance to apply it.

"What do we do now?"

"Go to the hospital for a check-up, say it’s a concussion, and let them spend more days in jail."

These kinds of violent forces daring to snatch people on the street needed to be where they belonged.

"Smart," Xiao Lin admired Shu Wan, "Sister Shu, you’ve saved me twice now, thank you."

Last time at the racetrack, Xiao Lin had actually been set up.

He didn’t know how to race but was dressed in Fu Yang’s clothes and pushed onto the track.

With no choice, he had to join the race.

He was completely unqualified to race and, combined with the darkness, he was surrounded by hazards.

If it wasn’t for Shu Wan, he might have lost his life there.

"No problem, it was the least I could do." Shu Wan gave a calm smile, "Where does your brother find so many enemies?"

It was outrageous that people dared to attack Xiao Lin on the street.

"My brother." Mentioning Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin’s expression flickered, "He has it tough, I don’t blame him."

Shu Wan didn’t want to pry into other families’ internal affairs.

At the hospital, Xiao Lin, following Shu Wan’s instructions, spun around twenty times in place before the examination.

When he got onto the examination table, he was utterly disoriented.

The examination results weren’t great, but they were enough to ensure the attackers stayed in jail for a few more days.

After leaving the hospital, Shu Wan was ready to go home, but Xiao Lin stopped her, "Sister Shu, my brother said he will pick me up; he asked me to hold you here until he arrives."

Shu Wan was about to respond when a silver sports car drove up not far away.

Soon, the car stopped in front of them, and Xiao Yan lowered the window, smiling flirtatiously, "Lady Shu, we meet again."

Shu Wan always felt Xiao Yan was a risky person to be around and didn’t want to interact with him too much.

However, Xiao Yan seemed to sense what she was thinking and took out a box from the passenger seat, "I think Lady Shu might find this interesting."
