In the hospital, Shi Jing was lying on the hospital bed. Her face was pale, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried. Her delicate appearance was very lovable. That was how she looked when Shi Man and the others arrived.

“Xiao Jing, are you feeling better?” Shi Zhong walked in and asked.

In their hearts, Shi Jing was an obedient child. After seeing the note, Shi Zhong believed that she didn’t mean to hurt Shi Man.

Shen Xian also came to Shi Jing’s bed to check on her.

If word got out that Shi Jing was bullied while she was with the Shi family, it would damage the Shi family’s reputation.

Shi Jing, on the other hand, looked like a pitiful victim. She answered Shi Zhong softly, “Uncle, I’m much better. I’m sorry for causing trouble for you and Aunt again… When I think of how Manman was injured so badly because of me, I feel sorry for all of you… How would I have the cheek to stay with the Shi family? Uncle, let me repay Manman…”

Speaking of the emotional parts, Shi Jing shed a few more tears. Her teary look made people unable to believe that she was the one who forced Shi Man to commit suicide.

Shen Xian went forward to pat Shi Jing’s back and comforted her. “Xiao Jing, what happened to you in school? Don’t be afraid. Tell me. As long as it’s true, I will definitely make the person who bullied you suffer.”

Shen Xian’s eyes were sharp, and she did not look like she was comforting anyone. Shi Man knew that Shen Xian meant that if this matter was fake, she would not let Shi Jing go easily.

“That’s right, Xiao Jing.” There was a hint of displeasure on Shi Zhong’s face. How dare a person bully someone with our surname in G City? Wasn’t this clearly going against the Shi family? There were few people with the surname Shi, to begin with. Even if she was an outsider, one should consider it carefully.

“Uncle, Aunt, I’m studying in a public school. My classmates are all ordinary people. I believe they didn’t mean to be like this. My classmates are still young. If their families are involved because of me, I’m afraid it won’t be good for the Shi family…” Shi Jing looked like she was about to cry again.

Shi Man glanced at her disdainfully.

What Shi Jing meant was that the students of the public school did not know people from the upper class like them, nor did they believe that she was related to the Shi family. She did not want Shen Xian and the others to investigate with great fanfare, lest it seemed like the Shi family was bullying them.

To put it bluntly, Shi Jing did not want her lie to be exposed.

“Then what do you want?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows and spoke from behind Shen Xian.

Didn’t she just want to follow her to Cassel?

“That’s right, Xiao Jing. Tell Uncle and Aunt. How do you want to resolve it?” Shi Zhong also asked.

“I…” Shi Jing bit her lower lip and looked at Shi Man fearfully.” I want to accompany Manman and atone for my sins. ”

“Huh? What?” Shen Xian was stunned.

“I want to stay by Xiao Man’s side and take care of her. I heard that Xiao Man went to a new school. We used to study together. I’m afraid Xiao Man won’t be used to being alone in school. I know I hurt her this time, but I really want to make it up to her and win her forgiveness.”

As Shi Jing spoke, she struggled to sit up and held Shi Man’s hand. “Xiao Man, can you give me a chance? I will definitely take good care of you.”

Shi Zhong was very moved when he saw their “sisterly relationship”. Therefore, even if Shi Jing’s family was unrelated to them, Shi Zhong was willing to help.

Shen Xian stole a glance at Shi Zhong. She naturally knew that Shi Zhong valued brotherhood. The reason why she was willing to marry him was because of his loyalty.

Now that Shi Jing said this, there was a high chance that Shi Zhong would agree. It was not good for her to embarrass Shi Zhong.

“Xiao Man, since Xiao Jing has spoken, you should express your stance,” Shi Zhong said to Shi Man.

Shi Man pretended to be obedient. “As long as Sister can enter Cassel, I’m definitely willing.”
