Chapter 24
Suicide Again?
Shi Jing was an absolute egoist. She was extremely selfish and absolutely narcissistic. Would such a person choose to commit suicide? Shi Man did not believe it.
“Why aren’t you calling an ambulance? Get Kate to give Shi Jing first aid first!” Shi Zhong instructed.
“Mr. Kate has already gone to her,” the servant said.
Doctor Kate was the Shi family’s private doctor. He usually lived in the Shi residence and checked on them. If there were any emergencies, he could deal with them in time.
Back then, Shi Man relied on Doctor Kate’s emergency rescue to survive.
The ambulance soon arrived at the Shi family manor. Shi Jing, who was covered in blood, was also carried down by Doctor Kate.
Shi Man looked at her wrist and narrowed her eyes. She had actually cut her wrist.
The shrill wail of an ambulance siren pierced the night. The night was destined to be restless.
After Shi Jing was sent to the hospital, the Shi family chose to stay behind to accompany Shi Man and only sent Butler Qi to take care of her. On the one hand, it was to investigate the reason for Shi Jing’s suicide at home. On the other hand, they were worried that Shi Man would be agitated when she saw this scene and recalled how she cut her wrist.
“Xiao Man, Mom will sleep with you today, right?” Shen Xian looked at Shi Man worriedly.
Ever since Shi Jing was sent to the hospital, Xiao Man had been distracted. Shen Xian was worried that she was frightened by the scene just now, so she suggested sleeping with Shi Man.
“It’s fine. There’s no need.” Shi Man rejected Shen Xian’s suggestion.
At this moment, the servant also walked over with the suicide note that she found in Shi Jing’s room. “Master and Madam, this was found in Miss Shi Jing’s room.”
Shi Zhong took it and looked at it. He sighed and threw the suicide note on the coffee table.
Shi Man leaned over and glanced at it. The content related to how Shi Jing had been bullied in her original school. Her classmates had all bullied her and knew that she was close to Shi Man, so they asked her to instigate Shi Man to cut her wrist. Otherwise, they would beat her up in school every day.
Shi Jing couldn’t stand the students’ long-term bullying, so she listened to them and did as she was told. She thought that it would be fine as long as she didn’t cut too deep, but she didn’t expect Shi Man to not be able to control her strength, so she snatched the fruit knife.
In the note, other than describing the bullying she had suffered, there was also an apology to Shi Man and gratitude to Shi Zhong and Shen Xian.
This will was written so well that it made one sorrowful to read it.
Shen Xian also picked up the note and looked at it with a conflicted expression. After all, this was only Shi Jing’s side of the story. However, Shi Jing was usually obedient and sensible. They also felt that there was something wrong with this act that seemed unusually out of line. From the looks of it, this was the only explanation.
If what Shi Jing said in her note was true and she had lived such a life in school, it would be certain that they would transfer schools for her after she recovered.
Shi Man looked coldly at the suspected tear stains on the suicide note and could guess at Shi Jing’s goal was.
The next morning, when the hospital sent the news that Shi Jing had woken up, Shi Zhong planned to visit Shi Jing with Shen Xian.
“Dad, Mom, I’ll go with you.” Shi Man woke up early and put on the uniform of Cassel Academy that Shi Jue had brought back. She put on some light makeup and tied her hair into a high ponytail.
Shi Zhong looked at his obedient daughter who was carrying her school bag and was in a good mood.
It was not that he did not love his daughter. On the contrary, he loved Shi Man too much. That was why he acted sternly when Shen Xian and his four sons doted on Shi Man.
Although he was confident that he could protect Shi Man for the rest of her life, he also hoped that Shi Man could become a talent and not a ruthless and brainless heiress who could only rely on her parents.
Now that he saw Shi Man like this, it was as if he had seen the light at the end of a tunnel. It was as if his daughter had returned to her cute and sensible self.
“Okay, if Manman wants to visit Sister, she can go with Daddy and Mommy.” Shi Zhong nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said to Shi Mu, “When you go to school, apply for leave for Sister.”
Shi Mu’s face fell again. “Alright.” How unlucky. He couldn’t go to school with Xiao Man today.
Xiao Man was so cute today. He really wanted to drive her to school!
