Bai Xue was stunned by his question and looked away unnaturally. “Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t.”
Shi Mu was puzzled.
Why did he suddenly feel that Bai Xue’s attitude towards Shi Man was a little strange?
Shi Man changed her shoes and walked into the living room. She saw Shi Mu’s puzzled expression and asked expressionlessly, “Where’s Su Tang?”
Shi Mu was about to answer when Bai Xue suddenly explained before him, “Tangtang just woke up. She’s unwilling to stay in the hospital. In addition, the doctor said that there’s no big problem and that she just needs to rest well, so your brother and I brought her back from the hospital. She’s lying in her room now. Do you want to see her?”
“Yes.” Shi Man nodded gently and walked upstairs.
Bai Xue hurriedly jogged behind her, and the tips of her ears turned pink again.
Shi Mu stood rooted to the ground and watched the two of them leave in a daze. He shook his head hesitantly and turned to leave the living room to do his own things.
He had already graduated from school and was no longer a leisurely student. As the son of the Shi family, he had to start busying himself with his career, even if he still had many things to learn.
Shi Zhong’s requirements for him were clearly not as strict as Shi Ke’s. He only asked Shi Mu not to idle around and find something serious to do. Therefore, he decided to bring him along recently and let him enter his company to familiarize himself with the business.
Shi Mu had no objections. He actually did not know what he really wanted to do. Since someone had paved the way for him, he was happy to follow Shi Zhong’s plan.
Recently, the company was in contact with the business in the capital. Shi Mu was so busy every day that he was dizzy. Otherwise, he would have personally picked up Shi Man.
In the room, Su Tang was lying on the bed, breathing steadily as she slept. Shi Man took a quick look and confirmed that she was really fine before leaving quietly with Bai Xue.
Shen Xian heard the commotion and came out of the room. Seeing that Shi Man was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. She quickly walked over and hugged Shi Man tightly. “My good daughter, Mom was so worried about you. Don’t leave without saying goodbye next time, okay?”
Shi Man never needed to inform anyone when she went on missions in the past. Even if she slept in the wilderness, no one would waste their energy worrying about her safety. Therefore, she was not used to informing anyone before she went out.
However, seeing the deep worry in Shen Xian’s eyes, Shi Man’s heart softened and she sighed. “Mom, I’m sorry. 1 left in a hurry this time and didn’t have the time to tell you. It won’t happen again. Don’t cry, okay?”
Shen Xian choked and nodded. Then, she let go of Shi Man and patted her face. “Then can you tell Mom if something happened at home when you returned to G City in such a hurry?”
Shi Man pursed her thin lips and her dark eyes suddenly darkened. “Mom, 1 don’t want to lie to you. Something happened to Third Brother, but don’t worry. The matter has been resolved. Third Brother has also been brought home by Eldest Brother and the others. He will definitely be safe at home.”
Seeing that Shen Xian was visibly worried about her children, Shi Man bluntly chose to report the good news instead of the bad news.
She did not say that the heat poison in Shi He was inflicted with had not been completely eliminated. She only said that he was in a safe situation now and could stay at home to recuperate in the future.
Only then did Shen Xian feel relieved. However, she turned to look at Su Tang, who was still sleeping in the room behind her. She immediately hesitated and asked uneasily, “What’s wrong with Tangtang today? Why did she suddenly have a concussion? Why is her body is dirty? Did someone bully her in school?”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes and thought of something. She led Shen Xian to a place a little away from the room so as not to wake Su Tang up. Then, she said slowly, “Mom, you have to be careful of the An family recently. They might do something to you.”
Hearing her words, Shen Xian immediately understood everything.
It was always easy for the young ladies of aristocratic families to have conflicts. Su Tang’s accident today was definitely not an accident. Now, it seemed that the An family was indeed going to harm her two daughters.
Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously grabbed Shi Man’s hand. “Mom knows how to protect herself, but if you’re bullied in school, you must remember to tell your father and me. We’ll stand up for you.”
“Okay.” Even though Shi Man did not need to ask anyone for help, a warm current still flowed through her heart.
This was the feeling of being cared for by her family…
Not bad.
The haze in Shi Man’s heart seemed to have been swept away in an instant. She smiled gently and brightly, and Bai Xue could not take her eyes off her.
When Shi Mu personally came up to call them to the cafeteria downstairs for dinner, he was caught off guard and saw Bai Xue’s infatuated expression. What shocked him even more was that Bai Xue was infatuated with his biological sister.
Shi Mu was stunned on the spot. He did not even notice that Shi Man had walked in front of him..
