“Manman, are you alright?” Yuan Yi had run outside to help look for her. Now that he came back and saw Su Tang crying, he thought that something had happened to her.
Shi Man shook her head and said expressionlessly, “It’s fine. Let’s go.”
She held Su Tang’s hand and led her to meet her brother, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time.
As Shi He was a celebrity, it would probably cause another uproar if he got out of the car. Therefore, he could only wait obediently in the car.
When he heard Shi Mu mention Su Tang’s possible disappearance just now, he was also extremely anxious. Now that she saw them return safely, her heart relaxed.
“Sister!” He could not wait to open the car window and wave at Shi Man.
Shi Man stopped and glanced at Yuan Yi. “My fourth brother is over there. Go over first.”
…..
“Okay.” Yuan Yi returned the milk tea to her and turned to walk towards the car beside him.
“Manman.” Su Tang stopped Shi Man, who was about to get into the car, and sniffed. “1 didn’t mean to disobey you just now. Don’t be angry with me, okay?”
Shi Man frowned and opened the car door for her. “Get in first. We’ll talk when we get home.”
Su Tang had no choice but to sit in the car obediently. Along the way, she was nervous and wanted to talk to Shi Man. However, even when the car drove back to the Shi family, she did not find a suitable opportunity to speak.
Tonight, Shi Zhong brought Shi Ke on a business trip. Shi Yu was helping the police investigate Shi Jing in the law firm. Only Shen Xian was at home.
When they returned, the table was already set with tonight’s food.
Shen Xian walked over enthusiastically and held Shi Man’s hand to lead her to the washroom. She smiled and said, “Manman, Mom has something to discuss with you.” “Yes, Mom, go ahead.” Although Shi Man’s attitude towards others was extremely cold, she had always been respectful to Shen Xian.
Shen Xian pursed her lips hesitantly and said with a conflicted expression, “Your father won’t be back for a long time on this business trip. Your second brother has been very busy recently. There are many things to deal with in the law firm, so the company is temporarily left to me to manage. 1 think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” “What opportunity?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile. Actually, she already knew what she was going to say next.
Sure enough, Shen Xian leaned close to her ear with a mysterious expression. “Your father used to say that you were ignorant and incompetent. Although your results are good now, he hasn’t changed his opinion of you much. Mom knows that you have the ability and ideas now, so 1 want to take advantage of this period of time to hand the company over to you.”
“Mom, aren’t you afraid that 1’11 cause trouble for the company during this period of time?” Shi Man asked in amusement.
Ever since she transmigrated to this world, the person who had always protected and doted on her unconditionally was definitely this woman in front of her.
Even though she used to have a strange taste, Shen Xian had never despised her. She had always doted on her daughter with a tolerant and doting heart.
Shi Man did not want to disappoint her, so she agreed under Shen Xian’s expectant gaze. “Alright, don’t worry. 1 won’t let the company cause trouble under me.”
“I knew you would do well.” Shen Xian heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she hugged her daughter’s shoulder and the mother and daughter returned to the cafeteria intimately.
Su Tang had been sitting uneasily on the chair waiting for Shi Man to return. Now that she really saw her, she felt nervous for no reason.
After Shen Xian sat down with Shi Man, she smiled and asked everyone to start eating. Without thinking, Su Tang picked up a piece of steak and placed it on Shi Man’s plate.
Shi Man was slightly stunned. She stared at Su Tang expressionlessly for a while and thanked her in a low voice.
Su Tang blushed and lowered her head even more. She silently finished the food in her bowl, then put down her chopsticks and sat obediently in her original position, waiting for everyone to finish eating so that she could help the servants clean up the dishes.
Shi Man finished eating slowly. From the corner of her eye, she saw Su Tang’s careful behavior. She sighed slightly. After pulling a tissue to wipe her mouth, she grabbed her wrist and stood up. “Mom, Brothers, the two of us are done eating. Let’s go to the living room to watch television for a while.”
“Alright, I’ll get the nanny to cut some fruits for you,” Shen Xian replied in a good mood. She did not notice how strange the atmosphere was between the two children.
Su Tang was pulled into the living room. Her wet eyes inadvertently glanced at her expression, then she lowered her head and muttered, “I… 1 don’t want to watch television.”
“Then what do you want?” Shi Man frowned and pulled her to sit on the sofa. She poured two cups of hot tea. “I won’t go to school tomorrow. Continue to take notes if you’re free. If you’re impatient to write, forget it.”
“Why?” Su Tang looked up in a daze and stared at her in disbelief.
Could it be that Shi Man was going to ignore her in the future because of what happened today?
Seeing that the girl’s eyes were getting redder and redder, Shi Man felt helpless. She handed her the tea that she had brewed and smiled speechlessly. “My mother asked me to help manage the company for a few days, so 1 shouldn’t have time to go to school. Help me apply for leave with the teacher..”
