s.h.i.+ Man suddenly stopped in her tracks and tightened her grip on Shen Xian.

Shen Xian frowned and looked up in surprise. She met her daughter’s murderous gaze and was shocked. She subconsciously asked in a trembling voice, “Manman, what’s wrong?”

s.h.i.+ Man closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Shen Xian steadily and said word byword, “No matter where you are or who you face, you don’t have to force yourself to do what you don’t want to do. I’m here for everything. You don’t have to worry about anyone’s feelings. Just do what you want.”

s.h.i.+ Man desperately wanted to tell her that she was still confident that she could do whatever she wanted.

Shen Xian’s heart skipped a beat. Immediately, a warm liquid rushed into her eyes, forcing her nose to ache and she almost cried. It was only because s.h.i.+ Zhong hugged her shoulders that she barely suppressed the urge to cry.

s.h.i.+ Zhong’s heart ached for his wife the most. Of course, he didn’t want to see her force herself. He coaxed her softly, “That’s right, wife. Don’t worry. No matter where 1 am, I will protect our family. Manman is right. No one can force you.”

Shen Xian was touched as she held their hands. As long as their family could still be together happily, it did not matter which city they were in.

s.h.i.+ Mu stood quietly on the stairs and watched the scene in the living room. Sensing a figure beside him, he said in a low voice, “You can take good care of my sister, right? If you can’t, 1’11 take her away. I won’t let her suffer at all.”

Yi Zheng was silent for a moment, his dark eyes flickering with heat. He nodded firmly and promised s.h.i.+ Mu and himself, “I can definitely protect her.”

At the Lu family’s welcome banquet, they invited all the dignitaries and their families in the capital.

The s.h.i.+ family had just arrived, but they were treated as guests by the Lu family. Naturally, they attracted the gazes of a group of people who sized up them.

Lu Jun took this opportunity to officially introduce s.h.i.+ Man to everyone as a new student. He also instructed her to enter the capital military academy with Su Tang and Bai Xue.

This school had a long history. The students studying there were all descendants of military officers. s.h.i.+ Man was the first to come from a business family.

Not to mention that she had brought two burdens.

However, with the approval of Lu Jun, no one dared to say anything on the surface. Most of them smiled and said flattering words.

Chu Yue stood in the middle of the group of girls with a livid expression. She looked coldly at s.h.i.+ Man, who was surrounded by people in the crowd.

That position that should have belonged to her alone was easily s.n.a.t.c.hed away by s.h.i.+ Man. She could only stand at the edge and look up at her being praised.

The girls beside her were all young ladies from high-ranking officials in the capital. All of them were smart. With just one look at Chu Yue’s expression, they understood the grudge between her and s.h.i.+ Man.

Tong Su rolled her eyes and carefully moved to Chu Yue’s side. “Sister Chu, 1 don’t think this s.h.i.+ Man is much. Why does Grandpa Lu dote on her so much?”

Chu Yue was annoyed at the mention of this. She rolled her eyes angrily and said, “How would I know? s.h.i.+ Man might have drugged my teacher.”

It was impossible for her to admit that the reason why s.h.i.+ Man had her current status was all because of her arrogant bet. Otherwise, s.h.i.+ Man would not have had the chance to show her face in front of Lu Jun.

Tong Su’s thoughts raced. She smiled and leaned closer. She grabbed her arm and coaxed, “Sister Chu, don’t be angry. You and I have always been on the same side. I will definitely think of a way to help you deal with the person you hate.”

Chu Yue’s dark eyes lit up. Tong Su was the daughter of the princ.i.p.al of the military academy. s.h.i.+ Man would soon enter the military academy to attend cla.s.ses. Wouldn’t Tong Su be useful?

She had an idea, but she deliberately put on airs. “Since you have the heart, 1’11 leave this matter to you without worry. After this is done, I’ll definitely give you benefits.”

Tong Su pursed her lips and chuckled. Her scheming gaze swept across s.h.i.+ Man and turned into a harmless smile.

She had a high status in school and had endless torture methods. If s.h.i.+ Man fell into her hands, it would probably not be long before she took the initiative to leave. The few people who had been deliberately targeted by Tong Su had all ended up like this.

Lu Li had been skillfully wandering among various people. After sending away another group of people who came to flatter him, he finally had the time to lure Shen Xian to his mother and introduce the two of them to each other.

Mrs. Lu was a straightforward person. When she saw Shen Xian, she did not put on any airs. Instead, she held Shen Xian’s hand warmly and carefully asked her if she needed anything after coming here.

She sensed a thin layer of calluses on Shen Xian’s finger and understood. She smiled even more warmly. “Sister Shen must like to play cards too! 1’11 set up a game another day.. Come to my house and let’s have fun together!”
