Chapter 67 - 67 Blame
67 Blame
Although they had tried their best to suppress the matter on the Internet today and the posts on the Internet had been completely deleted, they were still treated as gossip by the ignorant masses.
The Shi family was the richest family in G City. They had never been so embarrassed! He had been completely embarrassed by that unfilial daughter!
“I think there’s something fishy about this matter. Let’s ask Manman first before we talk about anything else.” Shi Ke was Shi Zhong’s most valued son. He knew that his father would more or less listen to him when he spoke.
Shi Zhong snorted and pointed at his sons sitting at the side. He could not help but scold, “It’s all your fault for spoiling her and raising such bad habits!”
!!
“Are you scolding me too?” Shen Xian used this as an excuse and turned around angrily, refusing to look at him.
Shi Zhong’s aura softened. He hugged her shoulder helplessly and coaxed her softly, “That’s not what I meant. How can I bear to scold you?”
“I dote on Manman usually, but she’s our only daughter. You keep pulling a long face in front of her all day. If I don’t dote on her, are you trying to force our daughter to death?” Shen Xian couldn’t help but cry as she spoke. I complained pitifully.
“It’s all my fault. Don’t cry.” Shi Zhong was most afraid of Shen Xian. Hence, he immediately brought a tissue to wipe her tears. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Can you stop crying?”
“When Manman comes back later, don’t be fierce to her!” Shen Xian took the tissue herself and pouted pitifully as she asked Shi Zhong to promise.
How could Shi Zhong dare to make her sad again? He immediately raised his hand and swore, “I promise, but I still have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, if she really causes a huge disaster in the future, it’ll be too late for us to regret it!”
“When is Manman coming back?” After coaxing Shen Xian, Shi Zhong sighed and asked his sons behind him.
“She’s almost here. Manman just sent a message. She just came back from her classmate’s birthday party.” Shi He had been sending Shi Man messages from time to time the entire afternoon to confirm her safety. That was why he knew so much.
“Manman is willing to attend her classmate’s birthday party?” Shen Xian smiled through her tears in surprise.
She also knew her daughter’s problem. In the past, she had always been arrogant and refused to be friends with others. Therefore, when she heard that she was actually willing to go out with her classmates today, other than being surprised, she was also a little relieved.
Who wouldn’t need friends in life? As long as she could be happy, Shen Xian had nothing to be dissatisfied with. The Shi family did not lack money. Even if Shi Man did not achieve anything in the end, the family could still support her.
As they were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the manor.
Shi Mu hurriedly ran out to welcome his sister. He held her hand nervously and whispered, “Dad was angry. It wasn’t easy for Mom to persuade him. Don’t talk back to him when you go in. If anything happens, I’ll help you. Don’t worry.”
“Was it about the dark web?” Shi Man stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. “Do you believe it?”
“How can I believe that?!” Shi Mu widened his eyes in anger. “Don’t let me find out who did it, or I’ll rip his head off!”
Shi Man could not help but chuckle. Seeing that she could still smile at this time, the butler could not help but remind her worriedly, “Miss, Master is in a fit of anger.”
When Shi Man stopped smiling, he raised his hand and pushed open the door. He stood respectfully at the side and said, “Master, Miss Shi is back.”
“Unfilial daughter!”
“Cough, cough.”
Shi Zhong had just cursed when he was interrupted by Shen Xian. He could only swallow the anger in his throat. After a while, he said awkwardly, “You’re back. How do you explain what happened online?”
“I didn’t do it.” Shi Man sat opposite him expressionlessly and drank the hot tea that Butler Qi had just poured to warm her body.
Shi Zhong had waited anxiously for the entire night to hear her explain herself. He did not expect her to end it with just one sentence. He immediately glared at her angrily. “What evidence do you have to prove that you didn’t do it?”
“Then what evidence do you have to prove that I sent it?” Shi Man asked matter-of-factly.
Her frivolous tone completely angered Shi Zhong. Ignoring Shen Xian’s obstruction, Shi Zhong slammed the table angrily. “What kind of attitude is this?! Do you know that you’ve embarrassed me today?”
“Dad.” Shi Man looked up at him calmly. Her aura was not inferior to Shi Zhong’s in the business world. “After this incident, are you only concerned about whether you’re embarrassed and not whether I’ll be hurt?”
“Dad, don’t say that about Sister. She’s the victim.” Shi Mu shielded Shi Man behind him, his heart aching.
Shi Ke also echoed in disagreement, “The dark web really doesn’t need any information to register. Anyone who can find a photo of Manman can assume her identity. The most important thing is to find the person behind it first.”
