Bai Xue raised her head and looked at her. Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only lowered her head and did not make a sound.
Shi Man knew that she would not be able to get anything out of her this time. Her expression was cold as she said, “That’s all I have to say. Think about it yourself.”
After leaving the door of the building, she felt a little relieved. The white cold air dissipated in front of her. Shi Man looked at it in a daze for a while. Thinking of the obvious hesitation on Bai Xue’s face just now, the corners of her lips hidden under the scarf suddenly curled up.
Seeing that she had finally come out, Meng Hui hurriedly jogged over and said, “CEO Shi, it’s cold outside. Get in the car first.”
Shi Man nodded softly and stopped halfway. “Go buy some meat and nutritional supplements and send them up.”
She had seen clearly in the living room just now that the things her brother had bought for her were not enough to last a week. That woman’s fetus was unstable. If she went up and down the stairs on such a high floor, her body would definitely not be able to take it.
Perhaps this was also her brother’s goal.
He didn’t want this child to be born.
However, Shi Man would not allow this child to miscarry because of her brother. In that case, Shi Mu would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He should not have to bear these unnecessary emotions.
Meng Hui quickly agreed and ran to a nearby supermarket. She bought a lot of things and only gave up when she could not carry them with both hands.
She did not dare to ask what had happened and why Young Master Shi had appeared here but did not come out with CEO Shi. She knew that this was not something she could ask too much about.
Her duty was to shut her mouth and complete CEO Shi’s instructions.
When Meng Hui came downstairs, her back was drenched in sweat. A cold wind blew past, making her shiver uncontrollably. She quickly got into the car and felt the warm wind to ease her body temperature. “CEO Shi, I’ve already given it to her. Where are we going now?”
Shi Man lowered her eyes and looked at the message from Yi Zheng on her phone. She turned off the screen in frustration and said, “To the airport. My father will be here soon. Go pick him up.”
“Okay!” When Meng Hui heard that the real chairman was back, she hurriedly fastened her seatbelt and sat up straight. “CEO Shi, I can still follow you, right?”
Shi Man nodded in amusement. “Yes, when my father comes back this time, I’ll ask him for a branch company to practice with. Come with me when the time comes.”
Meng Hui immediately perked up and replied happily, “Thank you, CEO Shi!”
Shi Man couldn’t help but smile, but when she saw the woman on the balcony on the top floor, her expression suddenly darkened.
At the airport exit, Shi Man stood outside the terminal on time.
Shi Zhong and Shi Ke were followed by the airport staff who were helping them transport their luggage.
When Shi Ke saw Shi Man, there was a thick smile in his eyes. “Sister, why did you come to pick us up personally? Why aren’t you waiting in the car? Why are you standing here?”
Ever since Shi Zhong was willing to trust her and handed the company to her to handle, Shi Man’s relationship with him had improved a lot. Now that she had taken the luggage from the airport service staff, she could still smile and call him “Dad”.
Shi Ke patted his sister’s head with a smile. “Manman, you’re so obedient. Give it to me. You don’t have to help me carry it.”
There was a crack on Shi Zhong’s stiff face. He pouted and wanted to say something, but he felt that it was very unnecessary. After holding it in for a long time, he only nodded slightly.
Shi Ke was afraid that his sister would care about his father’s indifferent attitude, so he hurriedly sent her into the car. Then, he handed the luggage to the chauffeur and Meng Hui and got in himself.
Before Shi Zhong got into the car, he quickly comforted her. “Don’t look at
Dad’s attitude. He’s been talking about you every day recently.”
“Yes, I know.” Shi Man smiled, clearly not taking it to heart.
Shi Ke patted her head dotingly. “Brother brought you a lot of gifts overseas this time. They’re in your suitcase.”
He secretly glanced at Shi Zhong, who was still standing outside with a cold expression. He lowered his voice and said, “Dad bought something for you too. Let him bring it to you himself later.”
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh. She took the initiative to get out of the car and open the door for Shi Zhong. “Dad, it’s cold outside. Get in.”
An unnatural look flashed across Shi Zhong’s face. He seemed to casually acknowledge it, but his emotions were already unstable. After getting into the car awkwardly, he lowered the car window and said, “Get in quickly too. Don’t just stand there!”
This was coming from the person who stood outside foolishly and insisted on his daughter saying something before getting into the car!
Shi Man didn’t argue with him. She sat obediently in the last row and took out her phone to play.
The atmosphere in the car was awkward. Even the talkative Meng Hui stiffened her neck and did not dare to move.
The way CEO Shi and the chairman interacted was always so suffocating. It was as if as long as the two of them were together, no matter how lively the atmosphere was, the temperature would instantly fall to the freezing point.
After a long silence in the car, Shi Zhong took the lead and said, “I heard that you’ve been following Shi Man recently. You’ve done well.”
Meng Hui realized that he was talking to her and quickly turned around. “Chairman, you flatter me. I’m just doing my job..”
