Chapter 13: Shi Jing’s Means

But… why did she start thinking about her brothers?

Shi Man did not stay any longer and turned to go upstairs.

She should take a shower and sleep.

Behind her, Shi Jing’s expression changed when she saw Shi Man go upstairs. She returned to her original hatred and disdain.

When did Shi Man stop wearing the clothes she “picked” carefully? She was dressed properly today and actually looked quite pretty. Moreover, she knew that she had drugged her.

Shi Jing thought that her actions were flawless. With Shi Man’s brain, it was impossible for her to suspect anything.

If it weren’t for the fact that the drug she gave Shi Man only had half an hour of effect, she would really be finished after the chicken soup was sent over to be tested.

Shi Jing picked up the soup spoon on the ground and washed it. Then, she took out a bag of red powder from her pocket and poured it into the soup. After adding the powder, the soup emitted an alluring fragrance. In a few seconds, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

As long as there was still someone in the Shi family who needed her, and as long as she could continue to control Shi He, she still had a chance to take down Shi Man.

A vicious expression appeared on Shi Jing’s face, but it disappeared the moment she went upstairs. She turned back into the gentle and lovely obedient girl. Holding the soup, she knocked on Shi He’s door.

When Shi He saw her, he didn’t say much. He just took the soup and let her leave.

In the night, the worries of many people shrouded the Shi family’s villa, but morning would eventually come.

The next day, Shi Mu woke up early. He was neatly dressed in the uniform of Cassel Academy. He sat in front of the dining table and obediently waited for Shi Man to come down.

He had not expected this.

First, it was Shi Jue, then it was Shi Ke. Even Shi He, who usually didn’t wake up in the morning, came down for breakfast!

“Hey, hey, hey! What’s wrong with you guys?” When Shi Mu saw them taking their seats, he shouted, “Big Brother, shouldn’t you have gone to the company long ago? Second Brother, you too. Didn’t you go straight to the law firm? Why are you here for breakfast?”

Shi Jue smiled kindly at his younger brother as he drank his coffee.

Shi Ke ignored Shi Mu and sat at the dining table reading the newspaper.

Shi He looked sleepy as he grabbed a piece of toast and stuffed it into his mouth.

“If you’re tired, go back to sleep, okay?” What was wrong with these people? They actually came to ruin his romantic breakfast with Manman! He was still thinking of sending her to school after eating with her.

“I don’t want to. I got up to have breakfast with Manman.” Shi He tried his best to force himself to wake up. Damn it, he had planned to sleep after drinking the soup yesterday. Who knew that he would be alert and frustrated? He didn’t rest well the entire night.

Shi Ke folded the newspaper and placed it aside. “Xiao Man is going to Cassel Academy for an interview today. She might be very nervous. As her big brother, how can I not accompany her to deal with all the challenges?”

Shi Jue, who was sitting beside him, nodded. “That’s true.”

Shi Mu sat back down angrily. He could not win against three people.

Just as they were “loving one another”, Shi Man came upstairs.

She didn’t have a uniform from Cassel Academy yet. But she had an interview today, so she couldn’t possibly dress too ridiculously.

So she did something to the clothes in the closet.

She cut off the outer layer of a gorgeous red princess dress, leaving only the pink silk dress inside.

Although Shi Man’s clothes were all very strange, they were all very expensive without exception. The lining was often the most comfortable and made of top-notch material.

Then, she cut another piece of a white and translucent knitted long robe and made it into a small shawl fastened with a peony-shaped jewelry brooch.

Her hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, making her look like a gentle Jiangnan woman.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shi Man went downstairs to eat in satisfaction.

“Morning, brothers.” Shi Man sat down beside Shi Mu.

Her brothers seemed to have come down long ago. She woke up a little late today.

Shi Man’s morning temperament was a little strange. She had just woken up and her reaction was slower. Her words and actions were like those of a sloth.

In order not to let her condition affect the mission, she usually exercised for an hour after getting up to wake her body up completely before meeting people.

This led to her needing to wake up earlier than the others, but she had just been reborn into this body and was still a little uncomfortable. She needed to sleep a little more than her previous self.
