Chapter 136 - 136 Celebration Banquet
136 Celebration Banquet
“He wanted to make friends with me first.” Shi Man narrowed her eyes and smiled at Yuan Yi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
When Shi Mu heard this, alarm bells rang in his head. As he drove, he did not forget to look at Yuan Yi beside him. “Why do you want to be friends with my sister?”
Yuan Yi smiled shyly and said, “I noticed Manman during practical training. I admire her extraordinary heroic spirit and just want to get to know her.”
“I see.” Shi Mu let down his guard and chatted with Yuan Yi about what happened after he left. “Do you know that ever since you went overseas, it had been too boring? There were obedient children everywhere. There’s no one who even accompanied me to piss off my third brother.”
Yuan Yi could not help but laugh. “Your third brother is just good-tempered. Otherwise, if it were me, I would definitely beat you up!”
On the other side, because Shi Zhong missed his wife, he compressed his schedule and worked himself and his eldest son, Shi Ke to the bone. After completing the business mission at a speed that ordinary people could not reach, he hurriedly rushed back to the Shi family.
When Shen Xian saw Shi Zhong return, she happily called Shi He and asked him to come back early tonight to celebrate Shi Man getting first place in the cohort.
Shi He immediately agreed and even canceled his social gathering and returned home early.
Therefore, when Shi Mu brought them into the Shi family’s manor, they saw at a glance that the stone path in the garden was covered with a red carpet. It was even grander than a celebrity’s fashion show.
Shi He stood at the end of the red carpet with a large bouquet of red roses in his hand. He smiled and waited for his precious sister.
Shi Mu was shocked by this scene. He hurriedly pulled Yuan Yi and made way for Shi Man to walk in front.
If his brothers saw him stepping on the red carpet first, they would definitely join forces to skin him alive!
The Shi family was rich and powerful. They were good at everything, but they loved to bully him, the youngest brother of the Shi family.
Yuan Yi followed Shi Mu to the side and smiled at Shi Man. He congratulated her. “Are they holding a celebration banquet for Manman? You’ve just transferred schools and can get first place in Cassel Academy in less than a semester. You’re really amazing.”
“Of course.” Shi Mu patted Yuan Yi’s shoulder and said proudly, “My sister is amazing in many ways. You’ll slowly realize it in the future.”
“Yes, then I’m willing to slowly understand.” Yuan Yi had a smile in his eyes from the beginning to the end. Although his words were ambiguous, his attitude had always been refined, making it impossible to find any mistakes in his behavior.
Shi Mu still liked to talk to him as much as he did when he was young. He did not feel uncomfortable at all that his sister was being coveted. Instead, he could not wait for Yuan Yi to discover how good his sister was and be envious that he could have a unique sister.
Su Tang followed behind Shi Man and chuckled. “Manman, go quickly. We’ll follow you from behind. Your brother is still waiting for you in front.”
Shi Man turned her head and looked at the girl who was sincerely happy for her. She suddenly asked, “Have you walked the red carpet?”
“Huh? No.” Su Tang looked at her in confusion.
Shi Man looked like she knew it. Then, she pulled her to her side and let her walk on the red carpet side by side with her. She said confidently, “In the future when you become the top fashion designer in the country, you definitely have to walk the red carpet. Treat it as a rehearsal now and get used to it in advance.”
“Manman, this is your celebration banquet.” Su Tang felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to slow down and fall behind.
However, Shi Man grabbed her arm tightly and did not let her succeed. “It’s just a small test. Why are you so serious? Just walk properly and don’t fall.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Su Tang shut her mouth and lowered her head without saying anything else.
However, she could not help but feel excited. Thinking of the future Shi Man had casually described, Su Tang could not help but yearn.
If only she could really become a powerful fashion designer like Shi Man said one day. That way, she could stand by Shi Man’s side openly and not be like now. Even walking the red carpet with Shi Man seemed so unreasonable.
Su Tang secretly made up her mind to work hard. Unknowingly, the future direction had become very clear to her.
The two of them walked the entire red carpet together. At the end of the red carpet, Shi He kept looking at Shi Man with curved eyes. As they approached, he felt the change in his sister for the first time.
He could tell that his sister was no longer the willful little girl she used to be. She seemed to have become mature overnight and knew how to take care of her friends. She could be calm and composed in front of everyone, even more so than when he first walked the red carpet.
Shi He handed the flowers in his hand to Shi Man and turned to open the door behind him. The sweet smell hit her.
