Never See You Again

Outside the door, a girl's sharp voice sounded. Shi Man found it familiar, so she walked forward to find out. Unexpectedly, it was Fang Han.

Fang Han was holding her skirt and shouting at the staff at the door. The girl she was with also looked unhappy.

"Do you know who we are? How dare you stop us?" Fang Han was arrogant and did not seem to have been stopped outside.

"I'm really sorry, Miss. Our mall was booked by a VIP today and is not open to the public. I'm sorry." The staff kept bowing and apologizing, but she did not receive any understanding from Fang Han and her companions.

"If I can't enter today, you can forget about working in this mall tomorrow." The girl at the side said ruthlessly.

"Well…" The staff looked troubled.

Shi Man sneered. She thought that waiting for Shen Xian would be very boring. Now, it seemed that something interesting had come knocking on her door.

"What happened, Manager He?" Shi Man brought the manager to the entrance of the mall and asked.

The manager beckoned to the employee who was apologizing and asked her to return to the mall. He apologized to Shi Man. "I'm sorry, Miss Shi. Our staff didn't handle it well and disturbed you."

Fang Han looked at Shi Man walking out of the mall in disbelief. "It's you? You booked the mall?"

Shi Man nodded. "Are you surprised?"

Fang Han said disdainfully, "When did you have the ability to appreciate the clothes in this mall?" After saying that, she pointed at the girl beside her and said, "Since you booked it, why don't you let them bring us in?"

Shi Man looked at Fang Han's arrogant expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I see that Song Zhi is here, so?"

"So?" Fang Han's eyes widened. What was this idiot talking about? Didn't she suck up Song Zhi every day?

Song Zhi was also a little surprised. In the past, whenever Shi Man saw her, she couldn't wait to come over and give her the world, hoping that she could say something good about her in front of her cousin.

Song Zhi also enjoyed the feeling of being flattered by Shi Man. Although Shi Man's reputation was not good, the Shi family was indeed very powerful. Being fawned over by the young lady of the Shi family augmented her status in the upper-class socialite circle.

"Shi Man, if you don't let us in today, you can forget about seeing my cousin again." Song Zhi revealed a proud expression and said to Shi Man.

Shi Man looked cold. "As you please. Even if you don't say it, I won't see your cousin again."

Fang Han chuckled. "Do you believe what you're saying? Everyone in the upper class in G City knows that Shi Man would commit suicide if she can't marry Yi Zheng."

Shi Man didn't want to bother with them anymore. She turned around and returned to the mall. "Think whatever you want. Manager He, no one is allowed to let the two of them in today."

Manager He nodded and a few staff locked the entrance of the mall.

Shi Man stood in the viewing gallery and looked down at the two exasperated people at the door. She couldn't help but laugh.

She should go back and look for Shen Xian. She did not know if she had finished shopping.

…

In the end, when Shen Xian returned home with Shi Man, another room had to be used to make a new cloakroom—she and Shi Man added another one.

At the dining table, Shi Man watched as Shen Xian told everyone how she felt about shopping today and the clothes she chose for her daughter and sons. Her beaming expression unknowingly touched Shi Man.

She had never experienced the days when the family gathered for a meal with laughter.

Shi Man did not realize that in just a few days, the hostility she had when she first came to this world had dissipated a lot. If she saw the gentle smile on her face as she ate, she would probably be shocked.

But happy times never lasted particularly long. Someone had to break this peace.

"Not good! Master and Madam!" A servant ran over. "Miss Shi Jing… committed suicide."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked, including Shen Xian and Shi Man.

Shen Xian's concern was that no matter what, Shi Jing was a distant relative of the Shi family and committed suicide in the Shi family. If news of this spread, it would probably affect the Shi family's reputation greatly.

Shi Man was surprised that Shi Jing was willing to commit suicide.
