The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness - Chapter 152

152 Gunfight

“Alright.” Yuan Yi agreed decisively. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Shi Mu’s before drinking it in one gulp. His smiling eyes were fixed on Shi Man.

“I wonder if Manman agrees?” Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the seemingly gentle girl sitting at the side. In fact, even he could not compare to her ruthless methods.

Shi Man glanced at him with a faint smile and lowered her eyes. “That depends on whether you have the ability to really take care of me.”

She was a person who was slow to warm up to others and would not let anyone enter her heart easily. However, the feeling Yuan Yi gave her felt a little similar to Su Tang. She was very curious about what he planned to do next.

!!
Yuan Yi understood that Shi Man was starting to treat him differently from others. He could not help but smile. “Then I have to work hard.”

After watching this show, Shi Man clapped her hands and stood up to walk out of the private room with the two of them, preparing to leave early and go home for dinner.

Yuan Yi naturally got into the car and still sat steadily in the front passenger seat. He tactfully maintained a certain distance from Shi Man.

Shi Mu was especially satisfied with him. He happily brought his good friend and sister home. As soon as he entered, he was scolded by Shen Xian. “Where did you bring your sister to play? Don’t you know what time it is? Why are you only home now?”

“Sigh, Mom, it hurts!” Shi Muwei bent down aggrievedly, wanting to be closer to her hand that was pinching his ear to reduce the pain.

Shen Xian suddenly let go and pushed her out of the door. She grabbed Shi Man’s small hand and sized her up. Seeing that she was fine, she was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief. “Baby, why are you only home now? Mommy is very worried about you.”

Her attitude towards Shi Mu was worlds apart.

Shi Man pursed her lips and chuckled. She said obediently, “Brother brought me to see a movie. Mom, I’m hungry. Is there any dinner left?”

Shen Xian was furious when she heard that. She couldn’t help but point at Shi Mu to scold him, “Good kid, you didn’t even give your sister a meal when you brought her out to play. Do you want to starve your sister?”

“I didn’t!” Shi Mu couldn’t say anything and could only stand there and be scolded.

When Shen Xian was done scolding, she noticed that there was another person at the entrance of the courtyard. When she took a closer look, she realized that it was the youngest son of the Yuan family who had come to the house before. She hurriedly switched to a warm and happy expression and smiled as she welcomed him in. “Did you go to watch the movie with the two of them just now? You didn’t eat dinner, right? Come in quickly. Auntie specially reserved a sumptuous table of food.”

Yuan Yi smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Shen Xian let the two of them in happily, leaving Shi Mu standing outside the door as a punishment.

Seeing that the steaming food in the room had been served on the dining table, Shi Mu was stunned. He rubbed his already shriveled stomach aggrievedly and sniffed the fragrance of the food. He wanted to enter the house, but he was afraid of being scolded. He stood outside the door hesitantly.

It was only when Shi Man came over to open the door for him that he entered the house happily. Then, he immediately lowered his head and apologized to Shen Xian and Shi Man. “I’m sorry. I was negligent tonight. I shouldn’t have brought my sister out so late and not let her eat.”

Shen Xian snorted and hugged Shi Man’s shoulder with heartache. “It’s been hard on Manman. If he’s careless again in the future, we won’t play with him anymore.”

“That won’t do!” Shi Mu was anxious. He hurriedly looked at Shi Man, afraid that she would really agree to not want him as her brother.

Shi Man shook her head helplessly and smiled. “Mom, Fourth Brother is very good to me. I said that I wasn’t hungry yet, so we didn’t go to eat. Brother couldn’t bear to starve me. He peeled a lot of nuts for me to eat.”

Only then did Shen Xian’s expression soften a little. She looked at Shi Mu indifferently and said with the dignity of a mother, “Since your sister has spoken up for you like this, let’s forget about what happened today. From today onwards, if you have to come home late, you have to report to me.”

Shi Mu knew his mother’s personality. She was the most lenient person and never interfered with her children’s freedom. That was why he was curious about her abnormality today. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mom, did something happen recently? Why do we suddenly have this family rule?”

“Your mother is also worried about you.” Shi Zhong slowly came down the stairs. He first hugged his wife and expressed his concern before greeting Yuan Yi and telling him not to be restrained here.

In the end, he shifted his gaze to Shi Mu and lectured him resentfully, “I often tell you that you have to be observant when doing business. Did you take it to heart? Didn’t you see the news that’s all over the Internet?”

“What news?” Shi Man asked with a frown.

Shi Zhong and Shen Xian looked at each other and barely resisted the urge to teach Shi Man a lesson. They coughed lightly and explained in a gentle tone, “Just now, a gunfight suddenly broke out in a few abandoned factories in the suburbs. The residents nearby who heard the commotion have already called the police. I heard that it was a conflict between the underworlds over territory. It hasn’t been peaceful recently. You have to be careful when you go out.”
