Responsibility
âBecause he wants to stand up for his brother?â Shi Bin froze for a moment before blurting out. Then, he realized that something was wrong.
âThatâs not right. If he wanted to avenge Tan Zhao, he should have called to question us that night. At the very least, he should have come the next day. If he asked after a week, could it be that Tan Zhao was hospitalized? Thatâs impossible. I think he ran quite quicklyâ¦â
As Yuan Shu looked at Shi Binâs thoughtful expression, she smiled and cleared his doubts. âTan Jing is the current head of the Tan family. If he had any common sense, he wouldnât have made a fuss over such a small matter. At least, he wouldnât have taken so long to appear. This means that he has ulterior motives.â
Yuan Shu paused for a moment before continuing, âShi Xiaoâs disappearance made countless people eager to make a move on the Shi familyâs business. As a competitor, the Tan family is naturally no exception. Thatâs why heâs observing. If your brother is back, then heâll act like nothing happened. If your brother isnât back yet, it means that thereâs an opportunity. And, he proposed to visit today. Do you know what this means?â
âIt means that heâs very interested in my brotherâs disappearance and wants to take the opportunity to see my familyâs current situation!â Shi Bin blurted out.
Yuan Shu nodded in approval. It seemed that this Fourth Young Master wasnât that dumb.
âThatâs what I mean, but you donât have to worry. I have my ways.â
Under Yuan Shuâs comfort, Shi Bin calmed down. However, he was still a little worried. âWhat if Tan Jing takes the opportunity to do something to the Shi familyâs business? Youâre not familiar with the companyâs operations and management.â
Yuan Shu stood up and was about to go upstairs, but when she heard this, she suddenly smiled. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe donât have to worry about that. Rome wasnât built in a day. The Shi familyâs business wasnât established by your brother. What we have to do is to believe in him unconditionally. We have to believe that the people he nurtured are enough for the Shi familyâs business to operate.â
âThen should we wait for Tan Jing to visit in the afternoon?â
âThatâs right.â Yuan Shu looked at Shi Bin and asked, âWhy donât I call the Tan family again and ask them to come now?â
The morning sun was just right. It shone through the window on Yuan Shuâs body and face. She seemed to be a fearless war goddess who brought people radiance and courage.
As Shi Bin looked at Yuan Shu, his heart suddenly raced.
When Yuan Shu wasnât throwing a tantrum, she was quite beautiful.
At this moment, a weak voice sounded. It was Li Yue.
âMadam is right, but what if Second Young Master Tan just wants to seek justice for his brother and punish us?â
Indeed, perhaps the Shi familyâs businesses had already become a set of continuously operating codes that couldnât be destroyed by external forces, but they themselves were not. If Second Young Master Tan really came looking for them just to help his brother vent his anger, could they defeat him?
Yuan Shu looked at her in surprise.
âAre the bodyguards I hired just decoration? Or are they mascots?â
Yuan Shu didnât take Tan Jingâs visit to heart. She continued to do what she was supposed to do. Shi Bin, on the other hand, was visibly anxious. He even rejected his friendâs invitation to play basketball.
Yuan Shu returned to the study to read, while Shi Bin looked at his phone. He scrolled through Weibo and played games to kill time. He was so bored that he even memorized some new words. Because he was uneasy, he couldnât calm down no matter what he did, so he simply went downstairs to the living room to sit and watch television.
When Yuan Shu came down to get water, she saw Shi Bin lying on the sofa. The television was playing a period drama, and the characters in it were saying mushy lines. Yuan Shu was a little curious, since she was still not familiar with the use of these electronic products. Now that she saw a vivid scene appear on the screen, she couldnât help but be interested.
âCan I watch it together?â When Yuan Shuâs voice suddenly sounded in Shi Binâs ears, he was so startled that he trembled.
âSorry, I didnât mean to scare you.â Yuan Shu was a little apologetic. She had forgotten that when people were focused, they wouldnât notice the changes in their surroundings and were easily startled.
âItâs fine. Do you⦠want to see it too?â Shi Bin was a little hesitant. Even though his relationship with Yuan Shu had improved a lot, it didnât seem to be to this extent.
Yuan Shu didnât notice Shi Binâs abnormality. She turned around and sat on the sofa beside him.
How magical.
Yuan Shu thought as she stared at the television screen.
