The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

121 A Fly

The task of grilling the skewers fell to Yi Zheng. Shi Mu had nothing to do, so he went to Shi Man’s side and talked to Su Tang about designing clothes.

Seeing this, Shi He immediately put down the beef in his hand and went to Su Tang to discuss the design concept.

They discussed for a while and two design plans were hatched.

Su Tang was very happy that her ability could be recognized and readily agreed to help the two of them design clothes. After the discussion, she realized that Shi Man was being neglected. Su Tang handed the beef in her hand to her apologetically. “I’m sorry for affecting your family gathering.”

Shi Man asked indifferently, “Are you happy to have accepted two big orders?”

Su Tang nodded heavily. Then, she thought of something and shook her head. “I won’t ask for a sky-high price. I just want the cost price.”

“That’s a loss.” Shi Man patiently analyzed for her. “Do these two look like they lack money? They have too much money to spend. Just name a price.”

“That won’t do either.” Su Tang shook her head stubbornly. “You get what you pay for. You have to be honest when doing business.”

To her, Shi Man, who was willing to fork out money to support her at this time, had already become her benefactor. She could not bite the hand that fed her. If not for the fact that she did not have enough funds, she would not even want to accept the cost.

Shi Man did not mind, but seeing her insistence, she did not persuade her.

When the beef on the plate was almost finished, everyone looked at the man wrapped in thick smoke behind the grill.

After Yi Zheng scattered the seasoning and grilled it, he handed a large handful of meat skewers to Shi Man. “It’s just right. Try my cooking.”

“No need.” Shi Man did not reach out to take it. Instead, she stood up and pulled Su Tang towards the villa. “I’m full. Give it to them.”

Yi Zheng’s expression changed. Shi Yu hurriedly caught the skewers and placed them on the plate. He warmly invited him to sit beside him. “It’s been hard on you. Come and eat some.”

No matter how much the Shi family bullied people, they would not deny them food.

Yi Zheng nodded and sat beside Shi Yu in silence, but he refused to touch any of the meat skewers that he had just grilled.

He did not like to eat such overcooked beef. He felt that it had lost the freshness of the meat. Moreover, he had grilled it alone for so long just now and had long had enough of the choking smell of thick smoke. If not for Shi Man, he would have turned around and left the moment he entered the manor.

Not long after Shi Man returned to her room, Sean sent someone to deliver the news on Feng Liang. The other party seemed to have been frightened out of his mind and had become superstitious. He heard that he had even found a professional fortune-teller to see if he had provoked anything unclean recently.

Shi Man laughed when she heard this and continued to instruct, “Next time, switch in some other treasures, such as a spider for him. Let Sean do it himself. Don’t let anyone find out.”

After the messenger from Immaculate left, Shi Man did not stop smiling.

Feng Liang was really an idiot. If this little trick frightened him to this extent, wouldn’t he go crazy after experiencing more in the future?

Shi Man did not intend to take Feng Liang’s life immediately.

This person could give her money during the day and let his subordinates have some fun at night. He really did not have the ability to cause any other trouble. Shi Man might as well keep him alive and fool him.

Shi Man smiled as she knocked on the bathroom door and shouted into it, “Do you want me to get you pajamas?”

Su Tang was staying with the Shi family tonight, so Shi Man asked her to go in and take a shower first.

In the bathroom, the girl had just taken off her clothes. When she heard Shi Man speaking outside, she suddenly realized her mistake. She immediately hugged her shoulders awkwardly and carefully approached the door. “You can just leave it outside. I can take it myself.”

“Okay,” Shi Man agreed. She walked to the closet and took out a set of unworn pajamas to hang on the wall outside the bathroom door. Then, as she walked out of the room in boredom, she met the man pacing outside the door as if she was expecting to see him.

“Who let you in?” Shi Man glared at him coldly.

She had sensed his aura in the house just now and felt that this person was as annoying as a fly. That was why she couldn’t help but open the door to chase him away.

Yi Zheng stopped in his tracks and asked with a dark expression, “Do you really hate me that much? Can’t we sit down and talk nicely?”

“Do you like Su Tang?” Shi Man suddenly asked.

Yi Zheng immediately frowned, as if he was very resistant to her words. “I don’t like her.”

“Then let’s not talk for now.” Shi Man closed the door firmly, not giving Yi Zheng a chance to react.

This guy was clearly the male lead in the original book. He should be circling around the female lead like a fly, but instead, he kept pacing around her door. How could this do?

Shi Man thought that it was better to wait for his relationship with the female lead to improve before the two families discussed anything else.
