Chapter 55 - 55 Something Happened
55 Something Happened
At night, when the entire Shi family was celebrating Shi Man’s achievement, only Shi Jing hid in her room and refused to come out.
Before school ended, Shi Jing cried and begged the two of them not to tell her family about what happened today. She cried miserably and hinted that she knew that Shi Mu had stolen the exam questions.
Shi Mu was guilty. If his family found out about this, Shi Zhong and his brothers would definitely beat him up. He could only keep his mouth shut.
Shi Man did not intend to say anything. It was not yet time to chase Shi Jing away. She abided by the same principle. Instead of letting Shi Jing secretly cause trouble for her in a place where she could not see, it was better to keep her under her nose and watch her personally.
The dining table tonight was filled with all kinds of seafood. When Shi Ke heard that it was arranged by Shi Mu, he grabbed his collar and brought him to the side to warn him. “Don’t let your sister eat so much seafood in one meal in the future. It’s not good for her health.”
“I understand, Brother.” Shi Mu released his collar from his hands and nodded submissively. Then, he pushed him to sit at the table. “Brother, try it too. These have just been caught. They’re especially fresh.”
“Yes.” Shi Ke ate a piece of crab meat with restraint.
Shi Yu personally picked up a piece of fish and removed the small bones on it before putting it into Shi Man’s bowl. “Manman, eat more if you like it.”
His training as a professional lawyer made him especially meticulous in his life. When he received the news that Shi Mu was holding a celebration for his sister, his first reaction was suspicion.
In addition to his sister’s sudden improvement, there was also Shi Mu’s overly excited reaction.
He used his connections at the law firm to investigate the school’s surveillance cameras. He knew everything that had happened at school today.
However, he still chose to shut up and didn’t say anything. He continued to observe quietly in the dark.
“Our baby is getting more and more outstanding! Shizhong, do you still dare to say that your daughter doesn’t know anything?” Shen Xian raised her eyebrows, her bright eyes flashing with mischief.
Shi Zhong coughed dryly and took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment. He said with a red face, “When did I say that about Manman?”
“Dad, Sister will be even more outstanding in the future. I plan to let Sister take over my position in the Student Union,” Shi Mu said confidently, but he looked at Shi Man with anticipation. “Manman, are you willing?”
“I’ll think about it.” Shi Man narrowed her eyes and enjoyed the fish in her mouth, letting the delicious taste spread in her mouth. She suddenly felt that she did not have to be concerned about anything. The days of chilling and having someone bring her good food and drinks were really not bad. It was much better than her previous life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.
“You can do whatever you want. If you want to enter the entertainment industry, I can bring you along.” Shi He flicked his dark brown hair and was as proud as a peacock showing off its feathers.
“There’s no need. I don’t have the intention to enter the entertainment industry for the time being.” Shi Man took a sip of the wine with low alcoholic content to ease her boredom. She glanced at Shi He, who had not eaten anything from the beginning to the end, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “If you don’t like it, I’ll make you a private supper tonight.”
Shi He was used to Shi Jing’s cooking and did not have any appetite when he saw the seafood. However, he had been thinking about his sister’s cooking for a long time, not to mention that his sister had specially made it for him.
Did this mean that his position in his sister’s heart was unique?!
“Okay.” Shi He nodded heavily.
Shi Man looked up and glanced out of the window. She stood up and took the handkerchief from the servant to wipe her hands.
“Is Manman full already?” Shi Mu frowned and stood up. This time, she did not eat as much as she did in school. Was she tired of eating?
It seemed like Big Brother was right. He had to find something good for her to eat next time.
“Okay, I’ll go back to my room to rest. You guys eat slowly.” Shi Man nodded at them and returned to her room expressionlessly. After locking the door, she changed into her night clothes which made it easier for her to move. She then took out her gun and dagger from the box and brought them with her. She raised her hand to open the window and jumped out of the Shi family’s house from the tree by the balcony.
In the alley, one of the mercenaries knelt in front of Shi Man with tears and snot all over his face. “Boss, quickly save Brother Sean! He’s been taken away!”
Shi Man’s eyes turned cold. She grabbed the man’s collar and pulled him up from the ground. She said coldly, “Let’s talk as we walk.”
The last time they met in Nightless City, Immaculate’s mercenaries in City G had all returned to City M to complete missions. Shi Man only found out now that they had returned to City G and had even exposed their whereabouts. When they contacted each other, they were forcefully taken away by a group of people.
