The few of them drove two cars to the current home of Bai Xue and her mother. When they arrived, Shi Man asked Su Tang and Yuan Yi to stay in the car and wait for them to return.

This house was under the Shi family’s name. In the beginning, the mother and daughter did not intend to accept it. The Shi family still used the same excuse that they were only letting them stay in this house temporarily and they could pay the rent in the future.

Only then did Bai Xue accept the Shi family’s good intentions. Usually, when she was free, she would work hard to earn money. She was not like Su Tang, who had a specialty and could design clothes to win bonuses in the competition. She could only rely on her hands to save money to repay her debt.

When Shi Mu and the others arrived, Bai Xue was still tidying up the copper wire in her hand. Her palm was rough and red and contrasted with the back of her fair hand.

Bai Xue often said that copper wire was very expensive and could be sold for a lot of money. In the past, in order to survive, she would go to the construction site to pick up things that others didn’t want.

Shi Man glared at Shi Mu accusingly, and her impression of her brother’s unreliability deepened.

This man kept saying that he liked her, but he could not even sense her embarrassment. It seemed that she had to torture him well in the future and let him know what true love was.

Shi Mu looked at Bai Xue’s hands and suddenly felt his breathing stagnate. His chest was extremely stuffy.

He reached out and pulled her up. He threw away the copper wire in her hand in frustration and looked away unnaturally. “Why are you doing these things that hurt your hands? If you were short of money, why didn’t you tell me?”

Bai Xue widened her eyes innocently and freed her wrist from his hand. She muttered awkwardly, “Why should I tell you? I have hands and feet. 1 can support my mother and me on my own.”

Shi Mu choked on her words and looked even more frustrated.

He kicked away the copper wires on the ground. The copper wires that had been patiently sorted out by Bai Xue for a long time were scattered on the ground by him and turned into a mess again.

Bai Xue pursed her lips angrily, but she knew how much the Shi family had done for her. Without saying a word, she squatted down and picked up the things on the ground that were especially precious to her.

Shi Man no longer had any expectations for her brother. From the perspective of Bai Xue’s good friend, she even hoped that Shi Mu could leave this house as soon as possible and not disturb the lives of the mother and daughter.

She squatted down and picked it up with Bai Xue.

Bai Xue hurriedly held her hand. After a moment, she realized that her palm was dirty, so she quickly let go and apologized to her guiltily. “I’m sorry for dirtying your hands. Go sit on the sofa beside me. I’ll be done soon!”

“I’m fine.” Shi Man continued to lower her head to stroke the copper wire. Her long hair fell disobediently to her cheek, making her face itchy.

Unfortunately, Shi Man’s hands were occupied at this moment. She could only smile bitterly and ask Bai Xue for help.

Bai Xue looked at her dirty palm and Shi Man’s smiling eyes. In the end, she compromised and wiped her hands on the towel beside her before helping Shi Man push her hair back.

Shi Mu stood at the side in thought. He squatted down to help and didn’t forget to apologize to Bai Xue. “Xiao Xue, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mess everything up for you just now. I just didn’t want you to touch these things.”

“I know, Brother Shi Mu. I don’t blame you.” Bai Xue smiled understandingly. When her gaze landed on his delicate fingers that were holding the copper wire, she sighed softly. “I can do it. Brother Shi Mu is a noble young master. You shouldn’t deal with this trash.”

When Shi Mu heard her say this, he was instantly anxious. However, he also knew that he was acting abnormally. He racked his brains and finally found a good excuse for himself. “I’m fine. Let’s make it faster together. I’m already hungry and in a hurry to eat.”

Shi Man lowered her eyes and silently hated Shi Mu for being a blockhead.

Bai Xue immediately smiled guiltily and said, “I’m wasting time. Why don’t we leave it here for now? I’ll slowly sort it out myself after 1 come back.”

“Are Xiao Mu and the others here?”

In the bedroom, the woman, who had just recovered from a serious illness, slowly opened the door. When she saw Shi Man and Shi Mu, her eyes were filled with surprise. “When did you come? Xiao Xue is really something. She didn’t even call me. 1 should have made you dinner!”

“Don’t be busy, Auntie. We’re here to take you out to eat.” Shi Man looked up at the woman and spoke, but she did not delay at all. As she spoke, she had already smoothed out the copper wire in her hand and found an empty space to put it down.

Seeing that she was actually doing these things, Mrs. Bai immediately chastised Bai Xue and hurriedly invited her to the sofa for tea to apologize.

At this moment, Shi Mu finally came out of his deep thoughts. He walked over and helped the woman up. “Auntie, don’t worry about us. Go back and change your clothes. We’ll bring you out for dinner.”

Mrs. Bai was embarrassed and wanted to decline, but seeing their insistence, she did not say anything.

The few of them finally came out of the Bai family. Bai Xue and her mother sat in Shi Man’s car, and Su Tang sat in the front passenger seat. The two cars drove toward the suburbs at the same time..
