Comprehensive strategy

Chapter 160 Let's Pretend Nothing Happened
Back at the villa, everyone ate and chatted as usual.

The difference is that the atmosphere at the dinner table today is a little dull.

Ever since she left the club training room, Shana hadn't spoken much, she wasn't interested in any topic, and only showed a forced smile occasionally.

Both Luo Xiaoxi and Chen Xueyan noticed that something was wrong, but Su Mu and others who came back with Shana didn't say anything, and they didn't know how to ask.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

After dinner, Shana stood up with a smile, packed the table and walked into the kitchen, as if everything was as usual.

"Brother, did something happen?" Luo Xiaoxi looked at Shana's back and asked worriedly.

Su Mu smiled and shook his head, rubbed his sister's head, and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Su Mu, why don't you ask?" Chen Xueyan said.

She was not at all at ease.

These days, Chen Xueyan has gotten used to the warm and cheerful atmosphere at home, now there is obviously something wrong with the situation, how can she be at ease!
Xia Na is usually the most sunny and enthusiastic of all the girls, taking care of the rest of the family like a big sister, but now there is such a big contrast, Chen Xueyan is really worried that she will bore herself to death.

"Let her stay alone for a while, do what you have to do, and don't disturb her." Su Mu said.

"Is this really okay?" Chen Xueyan was worried.

"Don't worry, there's no problem." Su Mu replied affirmatively.

Seeing that he was so confident, the two girls were slightly relieved, but they still had no idea, and their eyes kept wandering at the kitchen door.

Su Mu sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and turned the volume higher than usual.

He didn't really want to watch TV, he just felt that the sound of the TV could relieve the dull atmosphere at home and make everyone more at ease.

Don't look at Su Mu's relaxed look, in fact he is more nervous than everyone else.

Because of this, after all, he caused it.

Su Mu knew that what happened to Li Dun would definitely have a big impact on Shana, but he didn't expect the impact to be so great.

Since he knew each other, it was the first time he saw Shana so depressed, as if she had lost her purpose in life, and her eyes that were always smiling did not stop smiling.

Su Mu was really afraid that Shana would never recover from the fall.

It's just that he couldn't show his worry.

He is the only man in the family now, and he is their backbone, so they must not panic.

As early as when he came out of the club training room, Su Mu asked Shana, but he didn't ask anything.

At that time, she discovered that the young girl's emotions seemed a little contradictory.

Not just disappointed with the church... more like struggling to make some sort of decision.

But he didn't know what the specific decision was unless Shana told him, but it didn't matter.

He couldn't ask, Zhao Guoguo could, and Xia Na couldn't make decisions by herself, Liming Society could help her make them.

After Shana came out of the kitchen, she said hello and went back to her room.

Su Mu gave Zhao Guoguo a wink, walked aside and started talking in a low voice.

The remaining few girls were not in the mood to chat anymore, and after saying goodnight to each other, they turned off the TV and went upstairs to take a shower.

……

late at night.

Zhao Guoguo came out of the house in his pajamas and knocked on Shana's door.

Soon, the door opened.

Xia Na didn't ask who it was, and she wasn't surprised that Zhao Guoguo would come to find her.

The only light in the room was a small lamp, illuminating a geography magazine lying on the pillow.

"Can you fall asleep?" Zhao Guoguo sat by the bed.

Shana smiled wryly: "You know and still ask."

"Then have you made a decision?" Zhao Guoguo asked again.

"No..." Shana sighed and asked, "Did you tell Su Mu and the others?"

Zhao Guoguo shook his head: "You should say this by yourself."

Zhao Guoguo was clear about what Shana had been struggling with from beginning to end, but she didn't tell anyone, including Su Mu.

Shana lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Li Dun was actually released by the trial court, right? You deliberately mentioned three possibilities just to divert my attention..."

Zhao Guoguo didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

"Do you know Guoguo, I always thought that I had forgotten what happened seven years ago, but when you mentioned the trial court today, I realized that I still remember it clearly... It's like it happened yesterday, I It’s still that desperate and helpless little girl who just lost her parents, surrounded by flattering and sarcastic figures bowing their heads to money and power..."

Xia Na's voice suddenly choked up: "You asked me how I decided... I really want to give up, I want to tell them that we can't beat the trial court, we won't investigate Li Dun... but I can't do it... because I'm not reconciled."

"Then continue to investigate." Zhao Guoguo said softly, "I said, as long as you want revenge, I will help you."

"But now you and I are not the only ones in the Dawn Society... I can't be so selfish." Shana shook her head in pain.

All along, the relationship between the five members of the Dawn Society is like a family, but "family" itself is a contradictory proposition.

Because it is a family, everything should be undertaken together, and because it is a family, everything should be undertaken by myself.

"Since you can't make a decision, why don't you ask their opinions?" Zhao Guoguo asked.

"I can't open my mouth, because..." Shana froze halfway through her words.

——She saw Zhao Guoguo pick up the phone, a man's familiar face appeared on the screen, and then his familiar voice came out.

"You can't speak because you know we will help you, and you think this is emotional kidnapping and selfishness, right?"

Su Mu paused, and then said: "You are wrong Shana, if you choose to give up revenge for your parents today, you will never be happy, and we will follow you to be sad because of this, this is the real selfishness...or you are We are going to take revenge without telling us, so if you asked me earlier, I will ask you the same thing—if you have an accident because of this one day, do you want us to feel guilty for the rest of your life?"

Shana's heart trembled, and she wanted to say something, but the picture on the screen suddenly changed to a girl with ice blue long hair.

"President, as I said, don't try to leave me alone." Vierly said seriously.

Then came Guo Yang, he waved his fist and said viciously: "President, bring us to overthrow the trial court!"

He Yiwen: "President, you have helped me so much, please let me help you once too!"

Luo Xiaoxi: "Sister Shana, you said that a family should be tidy."

Chen Xueyan: "President Shana, I prefer you who were warm and sunny before, please come back."

Scenes flashed by, Xia Na's eyes were flushed, she covered her mouth, trying not to let herself cry.

"Su Mu originally asked me to turn off the video now, but I want you to watch it." Zhao Guoguo pressed the mute button, and at the same time brought up Su Mu's camera.

On the screen, Su Mu is holding a tablet and talking to several other people.

"Comrades, in order not to embarrass President Shana tomorrow, let's just pretend nothing happened tonight, is that okay?"

"No problem!" The girls and Guo Yang replied.

Shana wiped away her tears and smiled.

Nothing happened tonight, but she wanted to love Su Mu and this family even more.
