“Alright, i’ll take the notes and bring them back for you to see tonight.” Su Tang promised her seriously. After hesitating for a while, she decided to ask, “Then are you still angry with me?”
“I’m not angry.” Shi Man sighed slightly. “Actually, I’m angry at myself. 1 shouldn’t have been careless and left you there.”
Hearing her say this, Su Tang’s nervous mood relaxed. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m not a child. How can 1 be kidnapped in school?”
“No.” Shi Man shook her head gently and decided to make things clear to her in advance. “We don’t know where Shi Jing is hiding or if anyone is helping her behind the scenes. I’ve already gotten someone to investigate in secret. Second Brother is also investigating this matter. I’m worried that she will take revenge on you when I’m not around.”
“Why?” Su Tang blinked in confusion. “What she did has nothing to do with you. Why did she go through so much trouble to take revenge on you?”
“That’s my guess. But knowing her, I’m afraid she hates my guts.”
Shi Man chuckled, a trace of disdain flashing across her eyes.
…..
From the moment she woke up, Shi Jing’s disgust and disdain for her increased day by day. Later, she chased Shi Jing out of the Shi family. At this point, it was hard to say if Shi Jing would be desperate now.
If it were any other normal person, they would probably not be like Shi Jing. However, this was not someone with a normal brain circuit, so she could only prepare for the worst.
Moreover, in the Shi family, the easiest person to attack was Su Tang.
Only then did Su Tang realize the seriousness of the problem. She nodded solemnly and said, “Don’t worry, 1’11 take good care of myself and not let you worry. Just go and busy yourself with the company.”
“Yes.” Shi Man took out a brooch from her pocket and put it on her chest. “You have to wear it every day during this period, understand?”
“Is this a locator?” Su Tang was not an idiot who knew nothing. What Shi Man gave her could not be useless decorations.
Shi Man smiled and flicked her forehead. “Smart, so you have to wear it well. Other than sleeping, you’re not allowed to take it off.”
“Yes, I understand.” This was Shi Man’s way of protecting her. Su Tang did not feel that Shi Man was invading her privacy. On the contrary, she felt more secure and the haze in her heart was dispelled.
After the two of them spoke, the previous conflict was resolved.
Yuan Yi saw that the atmosphere in the living room had improved, so he walked in with a smile and a plate of freshly washed fruits in his hand. “Manman, why do the grapes in your home taste sweeter than mine?”
Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly and said bluntly, “Give it to me.”
Yuan Yi retracted his hand slightly and sat beside her. He smiled affectionately and said, “Then can 1 come and eat every day?”
Su Tang felt that she was a little redundant now. She wanted to hide in her room, but her legs refused to listen to her and she could not move.
Shi Man raised her eyebrows playfully and hooked her finger at him. When he leaned closer with an expectant expression, she suddenly snatched the fruit plate from his hand with a serious expression. “No, you can’t have the food for free.”
Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment before returning to his normal smile. He knew that she didn’t like to sit too close to others, so he distanced himself slightly and poured himself a cup of tea. He called out to Shi Mu loudly, “Brother! Your sister said that 1 have to pay for free food and drinks at your house!”
Shi Mu ran over with a strange cry and looked at Shi Man blankly. “What money? Why do you have to pay?”
“Because he eats a lot,” Shi Man said seriously.
Su Tang sat at the side and chuckled. Occasionally, she reached for a few grapes on the plate and stuffed them into her mouth.
Shi Mu choked. Thinking of Yuan Yi’s elegant manner when he was eating just now, he couldn’t help but compare it to the way he wolfed down the food. He immediately felt a little guilty. “Sister, he didn’t eat much, right? Why don’t we forget about it?”
He gave Yuan Yi a look, indicating for him to perform well and quickly win back his sister’s heart.
Yuan Yi smiled and took out a box from his pocket. “Manman, guess what this is?”
Shi Man glanced at it and was speechless when she saw the words “watch” on the box. “First of all, I’ll eliminate the possibility that it’s a watch.”
Yuan Yi couldn’t help but laugh. Under Shi Man’s warning gaze, he quickly restrained his smile. Then, he opened the box and placed it in front of her. “Do you like it? 1 picked it up with your brother. Your brother said that you would like this style.”
Shi Man looked up at Shi Mu but did not reach out to take it. “Why are you giving it to me?”
She knew that this watch was the latest limited edition. Although it was not expensive to her, it was still expensive to give it as a gift, especially since she was not related to Yuan Yi. She could not accept this gift casually..
