Chapter 38
Jiang He heard a familiar cold voice as he pushed the door open and entered. “Master Si.”
Lu Si was looking at the latest financial report of the group, not lifting his head and pursing his thin lips tightly. After a while, he asked, “Is it soone from the community?”
Jiang He placed the USB flash drive on the desk and respectfully replied, “Yes, currently the most likely suspect is Miss i Shu from the i family. Here is Miss i’s detailed information.”
After reading it on the computer, Lu Si frowned slightly and said softly, “Car accident? Her mother just died and her father remarried, had an affair within the marriage, and sent her to the countryside. Only the eldest of the four sons is still studying well. Although the i family has just entered the circle, they’ve had all the dirty scandals of the old and established families.”
Lu Si took out the bracelet and rubbed it a few tis. He relaxed his body and leaned back in his chair, looking up at the stars outside the window, recalling the different personalities displayed by i Shu in the countryside and after returning to the city in the information. His intuition told him that i Shu had many secrets.
“It seems that I need to et Miss i Shu.”
At this mont, there was also i Shu, who Lu Si was referring to as Miss i, looking at the stars like him.
i Shu had just finished washing up at 11:30 pm and was sitting outside on the balcony, looking at the stars and reminiscing about her past life.
There was a difference in the ti of the banquet from her previous life. i Shu was originally unsure if Wang Yue would use the sa ans as in her past life, but when she saw that dress, she was certain.
It seems that she was once again trying to ruin her innocence and reputation, just like in her past life. But this ti, she wouldn’t be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. As the saying went, she was now going to experience the thrill of being a director.
After a good night’s sleep, i Shu stretched lazily. When she saw the ti on her phone, she realized that it was one day closer to the banquet. She was also looking forward to it. After washing up and leaving her room, she ran into her two brothers who had already woken up.
“Good morning, Big Sister.”
“Morning.”
i Yan called her big sister obediently, while i Jing found it hard to call her sister for so reason and would always talk to her without addressing her.
i Shu didn’t care about this. She smiled and replied, “Morning.”
i Yan was young and spent every day with i Shu. He received the care from a family mber that he had always wanted, which slowly made him let go of the hateful thoughts that Wang Yue had instilled in him. He felt that if their mother’s car accident was caused by that phone call, it would be his big sister who suffered the most pain internally.
i Yan and i Shu had beco very familiar with each other. When he saw i Shu, he imdiately ran up and held her hand.
i Jing, who was watching from behind, pouted and muttered, “Bootlicker.”
i Shu smiled and rubbed i Yan’s head with her other hand, praising him, “Your progress has been very fast recently. You have already caught up to second grade. It’s amazing!”
i Yan raised his little face and smiled, his eyes almost squinting with joy. He glanced at his older brother’s grumpy face behind him and let out a suppressed giggle. In the end, he still said with a kind heart, “It’s thanks to my older brother. If he hadn’t helped with my studies, I definitely wouldn’t have improved so quickly.”
Upon hearing this, i Jing imdiately beca proud and glanced at i Shu. “Just third grade, no big deal. I can ace it with my eyes closed!”
i Shu laughed and said, “i Jing did well this week. He was able to complete his daily study plan on ti, even though he struggled to finish his howork. He managed to complete it on his own, although there were many mistakes. However, his attitude was very positive.”
i Jing was pleased that i Shu had noticed every change in him. Although he tried to act indifferent, the slight upward curve of his mouth betrayed his good mood.
After breakfast, everyone went to school.
In school, Zhao Min finally managed to reach i Mu on the phone. She suppressed her anger and asked calmly, “i Mu, how is your health? You promised to video call every day, but I haven’t been able to contact you.”
i Mu was lying in bed, reading a fashion magazine. She casually said, “Teacher, I’m still not feeling well, so I didn’t contact you. Don’t worry, I’ll just go straight to the competition.”
Zhao Min had lived for over forty years and knew that i Mu was just making excuses. She wasn’t in a coma and was able to move, so why couldn’t she even take the initiative to call her and inform her? She didn’t even answer her calls.
Although there was only half a month left until the preliminary competition, Zhao Min still made a decision. She said calmly, “i Mu, since you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t participate in this competition. If your condition is not good, you will waste the spot, and it’s better to give other students a chance to shine.”
