115 Invitation
“What?” Shi Man looked up from her notes and frowned at her in confusion.
She really didn’t hear what she asked, but Su Tang didn’t have the courage to ask again. She lowered her eyes and shook her head. “It’s nothing. Continue reading.”
Shi Man closed her textbook and turned to look at her seriously. “I don’t like hiding matters, nor do I like stammering. We only chatted on the way to the school. If you have anything to ask, just say it.”
“I…” Su Tang saw the anger in Shi Man’s eyes and closed her eyes as if she could gather her strength again. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.” Have you become good friends with Bai Yao? ”
“Bai Yao?” Shi Man still looked at her in confusion. When she saw the tears in her eyes, she suddenly reacted and smiled. “No, I don’t even know who Bai Yao is. I only guessed it when you mentioned it.”
“Huh?” Su Tang clearly did not react. She was stunned for a moment before the smile returned to her face. “I thought you would ignore me after making new friends.”
“How is that possible?” Shi Man sneered and enjoyed her relieved expression. She couldn’t help but tease, “You seem to care about what friends I make?”
“No, no.” Su Tang was afraid that she would misunderstand and hurriedly waved her hand. “You have the right to make friends. I’m just worried…”
“What are you worried about?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows and looked at her as if she wanted to force her to finish.
As the female lead, she spoke too hesitantly. This couldn’t do. She had to help Su Tang change her bad habit.
Su Tang shook her head and smiled helplessly. “I’m worried that you’ll gradually drift away from me if you have a new friend.”
Actually, this was the first time Su Tang had made a sincere friend. Ever since she was young, her family had been in a difficult situation. She had never even seen what her peers had. When she interacted with others, there was always a generation gap, so she had never been able to have a good friend.
Therefore, she especially cherished Shi Man. She was even worried that Shi Man would alienate her after having someone else and would look down on her friendship.
Shi Man finally heard what she was thinking. She raised her hand and patted her head in a good mood. She couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you thinking about? Your status is not something others can shake.” She was the most important female lead in this book! Why did she need to worry so much?
Su Tang didn’t know what she didn’t say. She was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. “Manman, don’t worry. I will definitely put you first. No one can replace you.”
“Alright, it’s a deal.” After comforting the female lead, Shi Man lowered her head and continued to look at the notes in her hand.
Su Tang nodded solemnly and happily began to prepare the papers for the next class. She secretly added in her heart, “It’s a deal.”
After school, Shi Man had just walked out of the school with Shi Mu when she saw a sneaky man from the corner of her eye. She coughed dryly and lied casually, “Brother, wait for me here. I forgot something.”
“What is it? I’ll help you get it!” Shi Mu recommended himself eagerly.
Shi Man waved her hand and said firmly, “No need. I’ll get it myself. Wait for me here.”
“Alright, come back quickly.” Shi Mu watched his sister leave and did not notice anything unusual.
Shi Man circled back to the entrance of the school building but did not enter. Instead, she brushed past someone. When the two of them collided, the person quickly disappeared into the crowd. No one noticed when he appeared and when he disappeared.
Shi Man gripped the note in her hand tightly and opened it when she was away from the crowd.
It was Feng Liang’s verdict.
After what happened that day, the hotel staff called the police. After the police finally dealt with the snake that appeared for no reason, they quickly discovered that Feng Liang was hiring prostitutes. They brought him back to the police station and locked him up for a few hours before the higher-ups asked them to let him go.
Shi Man snorted and glanced at Feng Liang’s current address at the end. She sneered and put away the note, thinking about how to give him another big gift.
When she returned to the school gate, Shi Mu was indeed still waiting for her. Seeing her arrive, Shi Mu took the initiative to walk over and held her hand. He asked, “Sister, Mrs. Yi has invited our entire family to the Yi family’s house tonight. We can just drive over.”
“Can I not go?” Shi Man frowned slightly. Thinking of Lu Xiang, who always promoted her son in front of her, she felt a headache coming on.
Shi Mu shook his head regretfully. If anyone wanted Shi Man to have contact with the Yi family, he would definitely not let them off. Unfortunately, their mother had already said that he had to bring Shi Man over. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only listen.
“Alright then.” Shi Man turned around and walked into the car. She quickly accepted the fact that she had no choice but to go to the Yi family.
