“Mom, I’ll arrange it now.” Shi Mu understood what she meant and immediately went to get the contacts of Shi Jing’s family to find their current location.
Shi Jing had been placed in the Shi family previously, but it was not as if she did not have biological parents. It was not difficult to find her weakness.
Shen Xian took a deep breath and said, “Our family let Su Tang down. 1 heard that she was entrusted to you by her uncle. Do you still have her uncle’s contact information? I want to apologize to her family in person.”
Yi Zheng was slightly stunned and looked elsewhere unnaturally. “No, Su Tang’s uncle and aunt have already passed away in an accident. I’m afraid Shi Man is the closest person to her in this world.”
Shen Xian sighed heavily and said, “Poor child. In the future, she wall be my biological daughter.”
She looked up at Yi Zheng seriously and slowly lowered her head. “Thank you for being willing to help today.”
“Aunt Shen, you don’t have to be polite with me. Our families are close friends. It’s only right for me to help Manman.” Yi Zheng hurriedly supported her and walked back to the ward with her. Under Shen Xian’s instructions, he slowly knocked on the door.
…..
Shi Man, who was sitting at the head of the bed in a daze, lowered her eyes indifferently and glanced at the girl who had yet to wake up. She reached out to wipe her tears and tucked her in before getting up to open the door.
Shen Xian held her daughter’s hand with a worried expression. When she saw the wound on her hand, her heart ached. “Manman, Mom is guarding here. Go and treat your wound.”
Only then did Shi Man know that her palm was injured. Her mind was numb just now, and she only felt pain now.
However, this small injury was nothing to her. She slowly shook her head and casually took out a tissue to dry the blood on her hand. Then, she lowered her head with hatred and said, “Mom, I harmed Su Tang. I was too arrogant. If it weren’t for me, Su Tang would definitely still be fine and wouldn’t have encountered such a thing.”
“Silly child.” Shen Xian patted her daughter’s shoulder with heartache. Her nose suddenly turned sour and her tears almost fell, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. “You can’t be blamed for what happened. You want to protect Su Tang more than anyone else. Mom can tell.”
Shen Xian sighed and walked to Su Tang’s side to gently wipe the sweat off her forehead. She tidied the hair on her forehead and was as careful as if she was dealing with a fragile porcelain doll.
“You’re a good child too. When you wake up, I want to be your mother. I just don’t know if I’m qualified.” Shen Xian smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness.
To her, Shi Man was her life, and Su Tang had suffered such harm because of Shi Man. She was willing to give Su Tang unreserved motherly love to let this poor child have a happy and complete family again.
Shi Man walked behind Shen Xian and patted her shoulder gently. She advised in a low voice, “Mom, go home and rest first. I’ll be here.”
Shen Xian was worried that Shi Man would be alone in the hospital. After all, something like that had just happened. She still felt a lingering fear.
Yi Zheng took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack at the door. He took the initiative to move a chair to the bed and advised softly, “Auntie, go back first. Manman and I are here. Nothing will happen.”
Shen Xian was helpless and could only nod. “Alright, call home if you need anything later. I’ll get someone to send it to you.”
“Okay, thank you, Mom.” Shi Man seemed to be extremely tired. It was difficult to even lift her eyelids.
In the past, when she was carrying out official duties day and night, even if she could not sleep well for a few days, she had never felt so tired.
It was a tiredness that came from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t even have the strength to speak.
After Shen Xian left, Yi Zheng sat beside her and poured her a glass of hot water. “Drink some. Aunt Shen asked your brother to look for Shi Jing’s relatives just now.”
Shi Man suddenly looked up and took the glass of water. She narrowed her eyes dangerously and said, “We can’t let them find them. 1 have to deal with this personally.”
“It’s up to you.” Yi Zheng pulled her hand over indulgently and patiently picked the spikes in her palm.
She had lost her mind and beaten up those men just now. The wooden stick in her hand was not evenly cut, causing many wooden thorns to stab into her flesh.
He didn’t know what this woman was made of, but she didn’t feel any pain despite having so many thorns on her hand!
Shi Man was not in the mood to care about these small wounds. She put down her teacup and called Sean and the others, asking them to bring that family back to G City before the Shi family found them. She wanted to deal with them personally.
This time, she had no intention of leaving Shi Jing any way out. In the past, she had taken into account the original plot, so she had indulged Shi Jing again and again. But now, she only wished that everyone related to Shi Jing could die immediately!
Otherwise, who knew’ how much more trouble this crazy and greedy family would cause next time?
