Chapter 545: Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Alright.” Lu Jun did not press on. He left the Shi family with his two students and went to the city to inspect the reconstruction situation after the disaster.
The Shi family was only left with their own people.
Shi Mu could finally scold Lu Jun as he pleased. Thinking of the surveillance camera footage of Shi Man, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, that matter… Why did you do it?”
His question was also what the others in the Shi family wanted to ask.
Although Shi Man had changed a lot in their eyes, she would not do such a cruel and bloody thing. She was completely different from the Shi Man they knew.
Shi Zhong stared at her with a dark expression, waiting for her to give them an explanation.
Shi Man took a deep breath, her expression cold and indifferent. “Father, Mother, Brothers, those people trafficked drugs and harmed G City. I just want to teach them a lesson.”
Her answer was clearly not enough to satisfy them, but that was all Shi Man could say.
Shi Zhong pondered for a moment and watched as his anger surged.
Shi Ke quickly changed the topic for her. “Dad, the most important thing now is if Sister wants to go to the capital with Lu Jun.”
Shi Mu also realized that he shouldn’t have asked this question in front of his father just now. He immediately echoed Shi Ke’s words. “Big Brother is right, Dad. Manman can’t go with him! Is the army a place for girls?”
“Then what do you think we should do now?” Shi Zhong rolled his eyes at them.
Now, he had something on Shi Man. Even if Shi Zhong used all his connections, he was only a businessman after all. There was still a limit to what he could do.
Shi Ke frowned and suggested, “Why don’t we send Manman overseas? When she’s overseas, Lu Jun won’t hold on to this matter anymore. After Lu Jun retires in a few years, we’ll let Manman come back.”
This was a good idea, but…
Shi Man rejected coldly, ”1 can’t leave.”
Shi Zhong glared at her angrily. “This won’t do, and that won’t do! What exactly do you want!”
Shen Xian was still immersed in her daughter’s words about not leaving her in G City. Now that Shi Zhong shouted at her, she was so frightened that she immediately came back to her senses.
She trembled and grabbed Shi Man’s arm. “My good daughter, I know your feelings, but this is not a small matter. We can’t be willful. Be obedient.”
“Mom, 1 really can’t leave you alone.”
Shi Man’s serious eyes made Shen Xian’s heart tremble. Only then did she realize her daughter’s determination, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.
She nodded solemnly at her daughter. When she looked at Shi Zhong again, her eyes were filled with determination. “Hubby, 1 can’t let Manman leave her hometown alone. No matter where she goes, I have to follow her.”
“Honey, you…” Shi Zhong was helpless against Shen Xian.
He had always been a strict father in front of the children, but only in front of Shen Xian, he would always be a gentle and considerate husband.
He had always been obedient to Shen Xian. When he heard her say this, he could only sigh deeply and nod in compromise. “Alright, since you’ve said so, Wifey, how can our family be separated like this? 1’11 leave with you!”
Shi Ke smiled. He knew that no matter how bad his father’s temper was, it could be appeased in front of his mother.
He heaved a sigh of relief and finally smiled. “In that case, let Manman decide where she wants to go. We will take care of the business in G City carefully.”
Shi Man looked at her family, whom she had only interacted with for less than a year, and an unfamiliar emotion suddenly spread in her chest.
So this was the warmth that family brought.
Shi Man smiled foolishly and lowered her red eyes. She shook her head helplessly and said, “If Mom is willing, let’s go to the capital. In short, 1 won’t go overseas. I can’t leave too far away for the time being.”
Shi Zhong and Shen Xian looked at each other. Although they did not understand what important things Shi Man had to do, they still chose to shut up and support her silently.
For the first time, Shi Man felt that having such family members who loved each other was a blessing. If it were in the past, she would definitely be willing to live alone without any worries.
Shi Man’s decision naturally made Lu Jun overjoyed.
He had just specially gone to patrol the event location of the city under Shi Man’s jurisdiction. Seeing the orderly construction site, Lu Jun knew that this city would wake up soon.
Shi Man was indeed a rare talent.
In order to hold this talent firmly in his hand, Lu Jun could not even care about what she had done in the past!
Since the matter had been settled, Shi Man had to tell Yi Zheng that she was leaving G City.
In the evening, when Yi Zheng came to the Shi family to meet Shi Man with full sincerity, Lu Jun had already called her Manman..
