Shi Mu’s sharp eyes noticed the woman’s expression, but he deliberately ignored her. He squatted down and patted the child’s head. He smiled warmly and said, “Little kid, do you know this sister?”
“Yes.” The little boy was not afraid of strangers at all. He refused to let go of the fruits he liked.
Shi Mu took out another candy from his pocket and said with a smile, “This sister is disobedient. Can you help Brother tell her off?”
“Sister Bai is very good.��� The little boy blinked in confusion and drooled as he stared at the delicious candy.
Shi Mu placed the candy in his hand and continued to guide her. “But she refused to listen to me and go for dinner. Is she very naughty?”
When the little boy heard this, he puffed up his cheeks and lectured righteously, “Sister Bai Xue, you should eat well. Mom said that only by eating well can you grow into a man.”
Bai Xue couldn’t help but laugh at this teasing. She compromised helplessly, “Alright, 1’11 listen to Little Treasure and go eat now. You have to take good care of Mom, okay?”
“Okay!” Little Treasure obediently hooked his finger with Bai Xue’s and did what the child thought was the most solemn guarantee ritual.
Only then did Shi Mu stand up. His always smiling eyes stared at her teasingly. “Can we eat now?”
“Okay.” Bai Xue nodded in agreement. After bidding farewell to the couple, she took two lunch boxes back to the car and gave the other to Shi He.
Shi Man sat in the car and watched the two of them. She teased Shi He, “It seems that Bai Xue might really become my sister-in-law soon.”
Shi He looked out of the window thoughtfully and instantly retracted his gaze in disdain. “No, Bai Xue doesn’t like Xiao Mu.”
Shi Man was amused by him. When they arrived, she stopped smiling and changed the topic. “Brother, Mom is fine in the hospital now. Dad is taking care of her. You don’t have to worry.”
At the mention of this, Shi He’s expression, which had softened when he saw Shi Man, darkened again. “Those people must have been deliberately sent by someone to cause trouble. Otherwise, why can’t I see them among so many people?”
Bai Xue nodded and echoed, “That’s right. When 1 distributed dinner just now, 1 deliberately asked each of them to only take one serving. Even if there are old people at home who can’t move around, 1’11 get the Shi family to personally send food over. If those people are really residents here, it’s impossible for them not to show up until now.”
Shi Mu pondered for a moment and said suspiciously, “Maybe they have money on them, so they went out to eat?”
After all, not everyone in G City was affected by the explosion. It was the coldest time of winter now. Those who had a little money chose to stay in a nearby hotel and did not have to suffer the cold outside.
Shi Man frowned and held back the anger in her heart. She heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “We’ll talk about this tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll mobilize the people here to help. I don’t believe that half of the city can’t find those beasts if they mobilize together.”
“Manman!”
The few of them were discussing in the car when someone suddenly knocked on the window outside.
Shi He hurriedly opened the car door and got her to get in. He gave her a seat in shock. “Why are you still here at this time?”
Su Tang panted as she took out a page of drawing paper from her pocket and handed it to Shi Man. “1 was also there in the afternoon, but I was a little far away and only saw the approximate appearance of those people. Just now, I couldn’t sleep when 1 went back, so I drew their faces based on my memory. I even let Mom see them with her own eyes. They were the ones who led the trouble.”
“Su Tang, you’re too amazing. You can even draw this? Why didn’t I think of this method?” Shi Mu took the portrait with admiration and looked at it with Shi Man. He commented angrily, “Bastard, you really don’t look good!”
Shi He glared at him coldly. “Cut the crap. Print a few more of these portraits at the print shop and send them to every resident. Tell them that the Shi family will definitely reward whoever reports these people first.”
Shi Mu rubbed his fists and nodded. “Alright! I’ll do it now!”
He turned around and got out of the car. His movements were very neat, but halfway through, he turned back worriedly. He took two new blankets from the back of the car and handed them to Bai Xue and Shi Man. “You two girls shouldn’t wander around at night. Stay in the car, understand?”
Bai Xue pushed him out of the car helplessly. “Go quickly. The print shop will close if you’re any later.”
“If it’s closed, I’ll go back to the company to print it!” Shi Mu glared at her unhappily. Not only did he not receive any comfort from her, but the car door was also slammed shut by her.
He was rebuffed by Bai Xue again. He couldn’t help but turn around and leave angrily. He kept muttering, “You don’t know what’s good for you. I’m just concerned about you. How dare you find me annoying?”
Shi He saw his defeat and gave Bai Xue a thumbs up in admiration. “Only you can control that Young brat. I’ll leave him to you in the future..”
