Chapter 7
Beautiful Little Sister
“Alright, since Manman has already pleaded for you, Shi Jing, you can continue to stay. In the future, your expenses will be halved. Manman, go back to your room and clean up before coming down for dinner. Don’t catch a cold. The entire family is waiting for you.” Shi Zhong spoke and concluded this matter. At the same time, he looked at Shen Xian’s expression. Seeing that she was not unhappy, he hugged her and returned to the dining room.
Shi Man had the same intention. Although it was still summer, the Shi family’s manor was in the suburbs and surrounded by mountains and rivers. At night, the temperature would be lower than in the city. The evening wind was slightly cold, but it was still too strong for someone who was only wearing a vest.
“Xiao Man.”
Shi Man was about to leave when Shi Jing stopped her.
Seeing Shi Man return in a vest and hospital pants and even speak up for her, Shi Jing felt that Shi Man was still the same as before. She was stupid and arrogant. As long as Shi Jing coaxed her and said good things, she would still listen to her and be controlled by her.
“Speak.” Shi Man turned around, her eyes expressionless.
Looking at the girl’s unfamiliar gaze, all the words Shi Jing wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She felt as if she was locked in a transparent glass jar naked and being seen clearly.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave.” Seeing that Shi Jing didn’t speak, Shi Man turned around and went upstairs.
Actually, she knew what Shi Jing wanted to say. It was nothing more than the same trick she used to coax the Host. First, she would admit her mistake and praise the Host. Then, she would continue sucking up to her to make her happy.

But she was not the original Shi Man. No matter what Shi Jing wanted to do, she could match her advances.
“Since I have nothing to do, I’ll play with her.” A smile appeared on the girl’s face.
…
On the other side, in the dining room, Shi Mu was arguing with Shi Jue. “You hugged Manman today! You didn’t let me hug her!”
“That’s because you were pressing on her wound.” Shi Jue sat at the dining table sorting out the case information and ignored Shi Mu.
“I didn’t! Did Xiao Man say that I was pressing on her?” Shi Mu chattered, feeling very unhappy that he had been pulled away when he held his sister today.
“Please, you…” Shi Jue wanted to say something, but he looked up and saw Shi Man coming downstairs after changing. He was stunned.
Why did his sister feel a little different today?
She looked… good.
After Shi Man returned to her room, she encountered the first headache she had since her rebirth. What was in her closet? A princess dress made of deadly Barbie pink, a bright red and yellow jumpsuit, a tight top embroidered with peonies with fungus…
Was this really the aesthetic sense of a normal person? No wonder Shi Zhong felt embarrassed about bringing the Host out.
Shi Man held her forehead and hesitated for a long time before taking out a normal white shirt from the closet.
The size of the shirt was relatively large, and it did not look like the original owner’s clothes. After Shi Man put on the shirt, it covered her thighs, and the cuffs were also longer. There was a strange badge pattern embroidered on the collar and chest of the shirt.
Shi Man rolled up her sleeves and took a wide black belt from her other outfit to tie around her waist.
The overly wide belt looked exaggerated on the original outfit but complemented this pure-colored shirt very well. The golden buttons on the belt also echoed the golden threads on the shirt.
When Shi Man looked at herself in the mirror, she nodded in satisfaction. She finally looked like a normal person.
In the dining room, the Shi family was sitting at the table. The dishes had been served, but no one had touched them. It seemed like they were indeed waiting for her.
Shi Man looked around and realized that Shi Jing was not in the dining room. It seemed that she had gone back to her room to hide today.
After all, other than Shi Zhong, no one in the dining room liked Shi Jing, especially when they knew how Shi Jing treated Shi Man.
“Xiao Man…” Shi Jue called out when he saw Shi Man.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes were focused on Shi Man. She was not used to such attention, but she still made the appearance of sitting down to eat.
“Xiao Man seems to be dressed differently today,” Shen Xian said with a smile. Although her daughter looked good in everything, she looked especially good today.
Shi Man nodded. “I don’t like the clothes in the closet.”
