When Shi Man returned from the factory, the sky had already darkened.

The baroque-style street lamps in the manor lit up, adding a hint of beauty to the night.

After Shi Man resolved the mess with the male and female lead, she was in a good mood. She went home and admired the beautiful decorations of the manor.

In her days as an agent, she had sneaked into the residences of countless wealthy politicians. The Shi family's manor was even better than theirs.

Shi Man had only casually read this novel once in the past and did not investigate it in detail. Now that she was here, she truly felt the status of the Shi family.

The figure that suddenly appeared in front of her broke Shi Man's mood.

"Why are you still here?"

Shi Jing, whose cheeks were swollen from the slap, was kneeling in front of the Shi family residence.

When Shi Jing saw that Shi Man had returned, she immediately rushed up and pulled Shi Man's pants tightly like a drowning person. She cried and begged for mercy. "Xiao Man, Miss, can you help me beg Madam? I was possessed for a moment. I was insensible and went overboard. Xiao Man, you're a magnanimous person. Let me stay with the Shi family… I swear that I won't do anything to let you and the Shi family down again."

"Shi Jing, go back. On account of your father's blood relationship with the Shi family, I'm already being polite to your father by not teaching you a lesson." At this moment, Shen Xian walked out in a silk housecoat and said to Shi Jing, who was kneeling on the ground.

If Shi Jing's father did his sums, he was just a distant relative of the Shi family. To put it bluntly, they were from the same village in the early years. They were not really related by blood.

Back then, Shi Zhong only felt that it was not easy for Shi Jing's father to bring her all the way to G City to study, so he kindly helped her. Later on, Shen Xian considered that Shi Man had to study, and since Shi Jing was obedient and sensible, she asked her to stay with the Shi family to be Shi Man's companion so that Shi Man would not be lonely.

Shi Jing, on the other hand, did not know what was good for her. She used the Shi family's money to deal with the Shi family's biological daughter. She brainwashed Shi Man every day and coaxed her to wear distasteful clothes. She made a fool of Shi Man at various banquets and even drugged Shi Man's food, making her anxious and irritable. As a result, Shi Man could not control her emotions, causing Shi Zhong to dislike his only daughter more and more. Instead, he paid more attention to Shi Jing, who was only an outsider.

Now that Shi Jing had instigated Shi Man to slit her wrist, how could Shen Xian tolerate it? She had already been kind by chasing her out of the Shi family.

Shi Man was helpless when she saw Shi Jing begging her. Just as she was about to kick her away, Shi Zhong walked over.

"Xian'er, don't catch a cold." Shi Zhong gently put the shawl on Shen Xian. When he saw Shi Jing crying miserably, he couldn't bear to see her like this. "Jingjing used to be a good child. She was beaten and punished this time. Let her go back to her room."

"Shi Zhong! She almost caused Manman to lose her life!" Shen Xian said angrily.

Shi Zhong looked at Shi Man with disdain. "If she wasn't willing, who could force her to slit her wrist? To put it bluntly, she even sacrificed her life for that kid from the Yi family!"

"Shizhong!" Shen Xian was even angrier. "Are you out of your mind? Your daughter just came out of the hospital. Not only do you not care about her, but you're also still siding with someone else's daughter. You…"

"If Shi Jing wants to stay, then let her stay." Before Shen Xian could finish, Shi Man interrupted her.

Compared to unknown risks, she was more used to taking everything into her own hands.

Shi Jing was an important character in the novel. If she was sent away, she might cause some unexpected trouble in the future.

Instead of that, it was better to leave her with the Shi family. With Shi Jing's intelligence, she would not have the ability to fight with her.

When Shi Man said this, Shen Xian and Shi Jing were a little shocked. Shen Xian did not expect her usually willful daughter to be willing to forgive Shi Jing this time. Shi Jing also did not expect Shi Man to be willing to speak up for her after knowing that she had drugged her.

Shi Zhong was surprised and relieved.

His daughter had been unreasonable since she was young. If she didn't like someone, not to mention staying in the Shi family, even staying in G City would be a problem for that person. As long as she said a word, this person could never appear in front of her. He didn't expect her to plead for Shi Jing now. It seemed that she was very loyal.

Although she was a little spoiled, she was not bad.
