183 Raising a Daughter
The people at the door were dumbfounded. Only Su Tang looked at the Yi family’s bodyguards who were in a dilemma with a calm expression and followed Shi Man into the school in silence.
Outside the classroom, Yuan Yi was waiting at the door. When he saw Shi Man walking over, he jogged a few steps to her. “Manman, how was the discussion with your family? Do you have a countermeasure for Yi Zheng?”
Shi Man turned her head and gestured for Su Tang to return to the classroom first. Then, she looked up at him indifferently and said, “I won’t agree to marry him. If he insists on getting engaged, then he can marry into the Shi family. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk about anything.”
Yuan Yi widened his eyes in shock. He thought that Shi Man would think of some other ideas to force Yi Zheng to give up, but he never expected it to be such a… indescribable method.
It really suited her indifferent style.
Yuan Yi was silent for a moment. He suddenly calmed down and took the initiative to suggest to her, “Actually, there’s another way that won’t trouble you and can make Yi Zheng give up completely.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows playfully and smiled. “Tell me.”
Yuan Yi clenched his fists. When he thought of the first time he hugged her shoulder yesterday, his heart raced. He knew that if he didn’t work hard now, it would probably be even harder for him to have a chance in the future. Then, he mustered his courage and said, “You can marry…”
“Sister! I finally found you!”
Before he could finish, Shi Mu ran over from the end of the corridor, panting. After taking a deep breath, he saw Yuan Yi and casually waved his hand as a greeting. Then, he slowly said to Shi Man, “Did you send the application to join the Student Union this morning?”
Yuan Yi immediately stared at her curiously.
Shi Man nodded calmly and said, “It was me. I didn’t expect you to be reading emails on the way. I thought you wouldn’t notice until you arrived at school.”
“You’ve really decided to join the Student Union! Sister! That’s great! I can pass my position to you!” Shi Mu held his sister’s hand happily and was about to bring her back to the Student Union office for surprise training. He was ready to hand the heavy burden to her.
Shi Man couldn’t help but laugh. She let him hold her, but her footsteps didn’t move. “Brother, I still have class. I’ll look for you during lunch break.”
Only then did Shi Mu realize that his sister was not a student who was about to graduate. She still had to attend her daily classes. He could only let go awkwardly and lower his head regretfully. “Alright then, but you must come and look for me during your lunch break. I’m waiting for you to have lunch with me.”
“Sure,” Shi Man agreed readily.
Yuan Yi smiled as he watched the siblings’ cute interaction. He suddenly asked curiously, “Why do you suddenly want to join the Student Union? I remember you said that you weren’t interested.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and met two pairs of equally curious eyes. She smiled frankly and said, “Because the Student Union has the right to punish students. It doesn’t look useless.”
This was true.
The student unions of other schools were at most a bridge between teachers and students. They were usually in charge of doing hard work that others did not like to do. However, the Student Union of Cassel Academy held the right to punish the students of the entire school. They could punish the students according to the school rules without the approval of the teachers.
Speaking of which, this right was fought for by Shi Ke when he was the president of the Student Union, so it had been used until now.
Shi Mu also felt that this was the only benefit of being the president. He patted Shi Man’s shoulder casually and said, “I heard that Class F has even become disciplined after Sister came. Now, because Sister is ranked top, the average score of the entire class has been raised. Sister deserves to be the president. Don’t worry, Brother will definitely let you have your wish.”
“Yes.” Shi Man did not need his comfort because she was not worried that what she liked would be snatched away by others. Even if someone came to snatch it, it would only add some seasoning to her boring life.
After living an ordinary life for a long time, she really needed a competitor. Yi Zheng was one of them.
During the lunch break, Shi Man acted on her promise to Shi Mu in the morning and brought Su Tang to the canteen to meet Shi Mu.
When Shi Mu saw Su Tang, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He took the initiative to suggest to her, “Manman is going to join the Student Union. Why don’t you accompany Manman? You and Manman are so close. In the future, when I’m not in school, you can take care of each other.”
Su Tang looked at Shi Man in surprise. As she was surprised that she suddenly agreed to join the club, she nodded without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll go wherever Manman goes.”
“Good girl.” Shi Mu personally gave her a big drumstick as a reward.
Su Tang was flattered and hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you for your kindness, but I actually don’t need a reward. Why don’t you let Manman eat it?”
As if feeling that she had thought of an impressive plan, Su Tang stared at Shi Man expectantly.
Shi Man glanced at her speechlessly, her eyes indifferent and calm. “Su Tang, sometimes I really suspect that you’re raising me like a daughter.”
