The next day, Shi Man accompanied Shen Xian back to G City.
Shen Xian couldn’t wait to see her son. After getting off the plane, she went straight to the Shi family’s manor. When she entered and saw Shi He quietly reading a script in the living room, her tears almost fell from excitement.
Having heard the commotion at the door, Shi He hurriedly put down the script and walked over to welcome them. “Mom, Sister, I should have gone to the airport to pick you up, but my body really can’t be exposed to the elements
“Sit tight.”
Shen Xian pressed her son’s shoulder and made him sit on the sofa. Then, she grabbed a blanket from the other side and covered her son’s legs. “What’s going on? I heard from your brother that your external injuries have already healed. Why are you still afraid of the wind and cold?”
The matter of the heat poison was too unbelievable. If Shen Xian heard it, she would only be worried. Therefore, the siblings tacitly did not mention it in front of Shen Xian.
Upon hearing this, Shi He first glanced at Shi Man carefully before lying, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I just haven’t completely recovered. The doctor said that 1 still need to recuperate. There’s nothing else wrong.” “That’s good.”
Thinking of the scene of Shi He being injured and sent to the hospital, Shen Xian felt a lingering fear. If her son could be saved at that time, she would probably not be able to live.
Although she had four sons and a daughter, each of them was a treasure that she could not lose. She only hoped that her children would be safe and sound. She wanted nothing else.
Shi He did not want Shen Xian to be sad again because of him. He quickly changed the topic and asked about their recent situation in the capital.
At the mention of this, a smile appeared in Shen Xian’s sorrowful eyes. “Although your sister hasn’t graduated yet, she has already been recruited by the army as an instructor in advance. Xiao Mu has improved a lot with your father. The two of them have gone on a business trip. Otherwise, had Xiao Mu known that I’m heading back, he would definitely have made a fuss about coming to see you.”
Among the brothers, Shi He and Shi Mu were the closest.
After all, Shi He had raised Shi Mu personally. At that time, Shi He was only a half-grown child. The two stubborn boys stayed together all day long and even gave the servants and maids at home a headache for many years. It was only when Shi Man was born that the two mischievous brothers turned their attention to their sister.
The house was finally no longer in a tizzy.
Recalling the past, Shi He felt as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
After experiencing so much, he could no longer be an actor without worries like before.
At the thought of the hands pushing him down from the rooftop, he would wake up even in his sleep.
“Brother.” As if seeing the fear in Shi He’s eyes, Shi Man suddenly called out to him. When he looked up at her in surprise, she smiled gently and said, “Mom and I haven’t eaten yet. Let the chef cook more food.”
After being interrupted by Shi Man, Shi He immediately put away his uneasy emotions and nodded with a smile. “Look at my negligence. I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare it. Let’s eat first. Eldest Brother and Second Brother should be back soon.”
The Shi brothers seemed to have telepathy. As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pulled open from the outside. Shi Ke and Shi Yu walked in with smiles on their faces. “Mom, Sister, we came back late. There were some things to do at the company. Don’t be upset with us.”
“The company’s matters are more important.” Shen Xian was relieved to see that her children had already grown up and had the ability to settle down.
It had been a long time since the brothers sat down with Shen Xian for a good meal. The family chatted as if they had endless things to say.
After the meal, Shi Ke called Shi Man into the study alone. The warmth on his face disappeared and was replaced by the seriousness of a big brother.
“Manman, tell me the truth. Have you and Yi Zheng been partic.i.p.ating in the black market?”
Shi Man did not expect Shi Ke to find out so much in just a month.
However, she was only surprised for a moment before her expression quickly calmed down. “Yes, how did Brother know this?”
Shi Ke smiled bitterly and said, “In the words of outsiders, the Shi family is almost invincible in G City. I’ve taken over the Shi family’s business for so many years, so how can I not know what’s going on?”
At this point, the siblings no longer planned to hide anything from each other. Shi Ke was worried about his sister’s safety, so he told her about the recent major incident in G City. “Your cla.s.smate, Zhu Wen, fought with Jun Mo not long ago and was sent to the hospital after being shot. He’s already out of danger.”
“What about Jun Mo?” Shi Manjin frowned and asked.
“Jun Mo has absconded again. The police and the people in society are looking for him everywhere. Do you have any clues?” Shi Ke could only confirm that his sister had once been involved, but he still did not know how far she had wadded into the matter, so he mentioned this matter to test her.
He didn’t expect her sister to really know Jun Mo!
Hearing this, Shi Man could only shake her head regretfully. “I don’t know where else he can hide, but Brother, once you have news of him, you must call me immediately..”
