43 Stealing Questions

After Shi Man lay obediently and was fiddled with by Shen Xian, the temperature of her body gradually returned, and the color returned to her face.

Shen Xian was slightly relieved. Coincidentally, Butler Qi came to inform them that Shi Zhong had returned. Only then did she bring Shi Man downstairs.

At the dining table, Shi Zhong could tell at a glance that Shen Xian’s expression was unnatural. He asked with concern, “Did something happen at home?”

“What can happen? I’m just a little tired. I went to bed after dinner.” Shen Xian naturally let bygones be bygones and did not dare to mention it in front of Shi Zhong.

Her heart ached for her daughter more than anyone else. She did not want her daughter to be scolded for no reason. Moreover, Shi Yu had already explained to her clearly that Shi Man had just gone out to buy something to eat. She had made a mountain out of a molehill just now.

When Shi Zhong heard her say this, he looked at Shi Man worriedly. Seeing that she was eating normally, he could only clear the doubts in his heart and not pursue this matter.

After the meal, Shi Mu mysteriously pulled Shi Man away before sneakily taking out a booklet from his bag and stuffing it into her hand.

“What is this?” Shi Man flipped it open suspiciously and realized that it was a complete set of exam questions. “You stole…”

Shi Mu shushed her in fear and looked around carefully. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “I spent a lot of effort to get this. How is it? Brother is on your side, right?”

“I don’t need it.” Shi Man stuffed the thing back into Shi Mu’s arms without thinking. “Besides, why did you think of giving me this? Do you think I care about the exam results?”

As Shi Mu hugged the questions aggrievedly, his ears were filled with the gossip he had heard in school today. He frowned angrily. “I just wanted to help you slap those teachers’ faces. How dare they speak ill of my sister behind her back!”

Shi Man patted his shoulder in amusement and said calmly, “Isn’t there enough gossip about me? I don’t even care. Why are you so angry!”

How could Shi Mu not be angry? His precious sister, whom he doted on, had been criticized by outsiders for no reason because of a man. What was hateful was that although their school was funded by the aristocrats, every family had a clear rule that they could not easily attack the teachers. Otherwise, he would have long taught those despicable people a lesson!

Seeing that Shi Mu was becoming more and more upset, Shi Man finally persuaded patiently, “Alright, it’s just a small monthly exam. Can’t I get good results by myself?”

Shi Mu’s angry expression completely turned into shock. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “My precious sister, are you planning to study hard before turning into a top student?! I support you!”

“In that case, destroy the test paper to prevent any trouble.” Shi Man glanced meaningfully at the figure hiding in the corner and sneered. She opened the door and entered the room.

Shi Jing heard their conversation completely and could not help but feel happy.

She had just transferred to Cassel Academy and was worried about her results. Unexpectedly, a hot pie fell from the sky and landed at her feet.

Looking in the direction Shi Mu had left, Shi Jing’s eyes were filled with determination.

As long as she could get hold of those questions and achieve shocking results in the exam, she could apply to the teacher to transfer to Class S. At that time, Shi Zhong would definitely treat her differently and the students would naturally compare her favorably to Shi Man. Then, the family would realize that she was a hundred times smarter than that brainless fool! She was the person who should replace Shi Man and be doted on!

After making up her mind, Shi Jing pretended to be sick the next day and woke up a little late. She waited for Shi Mu to leave his room before sneaking in.

At this time, before the servants at home could clean the room, she easily found the abandoned exam questions in the trash can and quietly stuffed the notebook into her clothes. She listened carefully to the movements outside before sneaking back to her room.

Shi Man sat in the car and calculated the time. She expected that Shi Jing would have succeeded at this time. An evil smile curled up on her lips.

In the classroom, Shi Man immediately saw Su Tang smiling at her from her seat. She was secretly surprised by Su Tang’s ability to recover quickly.

She thought that after what happened yesterday, she would take leave and not come to school.

Walking closer, Shi Man looked down at the textbook filled with annotations in front of her. She raised her hand and flipped to the cover. Seeing the name she had written down, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”
