The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

42 Gentle Motherly Love

“What are you doing?” Yi Zheng reached out to support Su Tang, but there was no pity in his eyes.

“If you don’t take care of your woman, are you going to throw her to me?” Shi Man couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. At this time, her family must have discovered that she was missing. If she didn’t go back soon, something big would probably happen.

After dealing with Su Tang, Shi Man rushed home as fast as she could. As soon as she entered, she was stopped by her second brother.

Shi Yu asked nervously, “Manman, where did you go? I couldn’t find you anywhere. I almost called the police.”

“I suddenly wanted to eat snacks, so I went out for a walk and bought some food.” Shi Man casually threw the snacks she bought from the convenience store into his arms. “Brother, do you want to eat? Take whatever you like.”

“Manman!” Shen Xian wiped her tears and rushed downstairs. She hugged Shi Man’s slightly hot body and finally relaxed. “It’s so late. Where did you go? Do you know how worried Mom is about you?”

“Mom, I’m fine.” Shi Man used to go out at night to complete missions. No one had ever cared about her whereabouts. She would never expose her whereabouts to her colleagues in any organization. Otherwise, she could easily lose her life.

Seeing that her daughter had returned safely, Shen Xian’s pale face finally turned red. She held her hand and said, “Why are you so hot? Did you catch a cold? I’ll call Kate over to take a look at you.”

“Mom, there’s no need.” Shi Man hugged her comfortingly and retreated a little. Her hot breath was almost out. “I’ll go back upstairs to take a shower first. Is Dad not back yet?”

“Not yet.” Shi Yu kept feeling that his sister was hiding something from them. As a lawyer, he had developed a sharp intuition. However, Shi Man was too calm, making him suspect that the abnormality was just his imagination.

“Fortunately, your father isn’t here. Otherwise, he would have taught you a lesson again.” Shen Xian accompanied Shi Man back to her room with heartache before sighing and returning to the living room to wait for her.

Shi Man filled the bathtub with cold water and sank her body completely into the water. The heat in her chest barely subsided and her thoughts became clear.

The mastermind must not have expected her to appear tonight. Otherwise, that person would have long come out to attack Yi Zheng. It was impossible for him to not show up.

She screened everyone she had met in the past few days in her mind, but she could not find a suitable reason for the attack. It was true that the Song family ran the communication technology company, but they had no reason to harm the Shi family.

There were too few descriptions of the Shi family in the original book. Most of the plot revolved around the male and female leads, so she could not think of who the potential enemy was for a moment.

However… Shi Man’s expression turned cold. Since that person had offended her several times and couldn’t wait to attack the Shi family, he wouldn’t stop so easily. As long as the people behind the attacks did not give up their goal, she would have a chance to nab them.

After soaking in the cold water for half an hour, the burning sensation was completely removed from her blood.

Outside the door, Shen Xian saw that Shi Man had not moved for so long and could not help but knock on her door worriedly. “Manman, how are you? If you’re not feeling well, tell Mom.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was still no movement inside. Shen Xian raised her hand worriedly and knocked on the door again. Before her fingers could touch the door, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. A cold breath hit her and she couldn’t help but shiver.

“Manman, you…” Shen Xian raised her hand to hold Shi Man’s hand, but the latter avoided it easily.

“I’m fine. I want to eat something.” Shi Man was only wearing thin pajamas. The cold air emitted from her body was enough to make one retreat three feet. Water was still dripping from her wet hair as if she had just been fished out of the river.

Shen Xian stuffed her under the blanket silently, took off the rubber band on her hair, and picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair.

Shi Man jumped up from the bed almost subconsciously. She had just gotten used to being touched by this family and was not used to being vulnerable to others.

“Lie down.” Shen Xian stuffed her back into the blanket domineeringly, but her voice was so gentle that it was impossible to refuse. “My baby, you don’t cherish yourself. How can Mommy be at ease?”
