581 Unforeseen Event

Shi Man shook her head gently. When she saw the two girls getting out of the car, she immediately felt helpless. "Didn't I tell you to go back first? Why are you waiting here stupidly? Can that principal eat me?"

"That might not be the case!" Su Tang said seriously. "But the people in the capital seem to be very against us. Perhaps he really went crazy and attacked you. How can we leave you alone?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Man raised her hand and gently flicked her forehead. Then, she smiled and put her hand in her pocket. "Let's go. There's nothing else. Let's go home for dinner."

Bai Xue looked in the direction of the school building worriedly and followed closely behind Shi Man. "Are you really fine? I keep feeling that it won't be peaceful in the future."

Shi Man's hand that was opening the car door paused. She turned her head and looked at the two of them seriously. "A woman's intuition is indeed quite accurate, so you have to be especially careful in the future. If you don't mind, try not to leave my sight in school in the future."

The few of them returned home together. Shen Xian was busy in the kitchen, explaining their family's tastes to the new chef in detail.

The previous chef had been left in G City to take care of Shi Ke and the others. The current one had been hired by Shen Xian in the capital. She had spent a lot of money just so that her children and husband could eat delicious food when they returned home after a busy day.

Shi Man smiled and washed her hands. She walked into the kitchen and helped Shen Xian with some simple chores.

Shen Xian pushed her out dotingly. "Sit on the sofa for a while. The food will be ready soon. By the way, Yi Zheng hasn't been back for two days. Is he very busy now?"

"Yes." Shi Man nodded slightly. Thinking of Yi Zheng, who had been eating and sleeping in the office recently, she called him worriedly.

The Yi family's company in the capital was actually not smaller than in G City. In the past, the business here was handed over to a manager, but now that Yi Zheng wanted to take over completely, he would probably be as busy as how he would be when establishing a new company.

After the call was picked up, Yi Zheng's tired voice revealed a hint of joy. He leaned back in the leather chair and rubbed his eyebrows repeatedly. "My fiancée finally remembered to care about me?"

Shi Man paused for a moment and coughed lightly. "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"No, I still have something to do, but I'll go back to sleep later." Yi Zheng could hear the unnaturalness in her words and chuckled. "We're already engaged. Isn't it normal for you to care about me? Why don't you seem to be able to say it?"

Shi Man's thoughts were suddenly exposed by him. A blush flashed across her face, and her gaze shifted unnaturally. "There's nothing I can't say. Since you're back later, I'll get the kitchen to make you some supper."

"Okay." Yi Zheng agreed with a smile. In the next moment, his voice was a little heavy. "Have you been well in school these past two days? Did anyone bully you?"

Shi Man smiled nonchalantly. "Who can bully me?"

In that case, someone was still targeting her. Yi Zheng could imagine how she would be treated in school. He sighed with heartache and said, "If you encounter anything tricky, you have to tell me at any time. We're family now. You're not allowed to be polite to me anymore, understand?"

Shi Man couldn't help but feel her face heat up. She replied casually and hurriedly hung up on the pretext that she wanted to eat.

Su Tang had just come down from upstairs. It was rare to see Shi Man so flustered. Her heart skipped a beat and she ran down the stairs anxiously. Thinking that something had happened at the school again, she hurriedly asked, "What happened? Can't Tong Su even wait for tomorrow?"

Shi Man was stunned for a moment. She knew that she had misunderstood and patted her head helplessly. "It's fine. Don't worry. It's time to eat."

"Oh." Su Tang innocently touched her hair that Shi Man had messed up and quickly jogged after her.

Late at night, the Shi family's manor in G City was brightly lit. Doctors in white coats came and went, busy with their work. It took a lot of effort to finally complete it.

The guest room on the first floor had been modified overnight. It was no different from the ward in the intensive care unit. There were all kinds of medical equipment. Even the number of family doctors had increased from one to five, waiting to be deployed at any time.

On the hospital bed, Shi He's face was as pale as paper. He was so fragile that it seemed like he would shatter into pieces with a light touch.

Shi Ke and Shi Yu carefully checked every detail of the new ward. After confirming that there were no mistakes, they were finally relieved.

Shi Ke walked up to Shi He and frowned as he reached out to test the temperature of his forehead. "Don't worry, I'll get the doctor to start treating you now."

Panting, Shi He's eyelids trembled. He could barely open his eyes a crack, but he used all his strength to hold Shi Ke's hand. "Don't, don't let Mom, Dad, and Manman know."

Shi Ke nodded with a solemn expression. "Don't worry, this matter won't spread to the capital. As long as you get better quickly, you don't have to think too much about anything else."
