“Xiao Zheng.” When he saw Yi Zheng again, Shi Yu suddenly felt a little awkward.

Thinking of how the two of them had parted on bad terms over Shi Man last time, and how he had relied on Yi Zheng’s help to escape trouble, he suddenly did not know what expression to face him with.

Yi Zheng smiled as usual and said, “All Yu, is the Fang family still looking for trouble with you?”

“No.” Shi Yu shook his head and invited him into the living room.

Shi Man continued to look at Su Tang’s design in her hand without looking up. She was totally treating Yi Zheng as air.

It was only when Shi Yu took the initiative to remind her that she reluctantly looked up and said angrily, “You must be thirsty after following me all the way. Drink some water yourself.”

“I’m a little thirsty.” He sat casually opposite her, his expression so calm that no emotions could be seen. “I’m not like Miss Shi who just drank a large cup of milk tea in the shop.”

Shi Yu frowned slightly and looked at the two of them strangely. For some reason, he smelled strong gunpowder in the air and looked at Su Tang, who was sitting at the side with an innocent expression.

Su Tang lowered her head guiltily. How should she say that Manman drank milk tea with a shameless guy and was caught by Brother Yi?

Shi Yu saw that she was embarrassed to speak and immediately found it strange. “What’s wrong with the two of you? Didn’t you just meet?”

Yi Zheng laughed ambiguously and leaned back on the sofa. His expression was noble as he said with a serious expression, “All Yu, I’m afraid you don’t know that Manman made a new friend, right? He’s not a good person. As her brother, you should interfere.” “Manman made a new friend. What friend?” Looking at Yi Zheng’s strange posture, could it be that she had a boyfriend? Shi Yu thought in horror as she continued to ask Su Tang.

Su Tang, who was forced into a corner and was afraid that the matter would make things worse, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “It’s not a friend. It’s just someone we met by chance today.”

She told Shi Yu everything that had happened in the fabric shop today from beginning to end. Then, she explained reluctantly, “Manman actually knew long ago that he had ulterior motives. She was just beating him at his own game. Brother Yi, don’t misunderstand Manman.”

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows in understanding and glanced at Yi Zheng with a smile in his eyes.

It seemed that it was really because of another man. No wonder Yi Zheng was forced to this extent. He even rushed to her house!

He coughed lightly and prepared to explain on his sister’s behalf. “Manman isn’t an easy girl. She’s very cautious and loyal to relationships. You should know this.”

As soon as he said this, Yi Zheng’s mood suddenly improved. Even his eyebrows, which had been trembling from anger, were raised. He smiled and said, “Yes, I do know that Manman is very loyal.”

“But 1 don’t like you anymore.” Shi Man bluntly ruined his good mood. She made up her mind not to let him walk out of the Shi family with a smile.

Yi Zheng smiled indifferently this time. He took out an invitation from his pocket and placed it on the table. “It’s my mother’s birthday next week. If you don’t mind, you can come to my house for a meal.”

“Of course, we have to go to Auntie’s birthday.” This was the custom of the two families. It was not difficult. Shi Yu put away the invitation without hesitation.

Shi Man recalled that she had yet to give Lu Xiang an explanation for defrauding her and taking Su Tang away. She immediately felt a headache. This time, she would probably be treated as Lu Xiang’s future daughter-in-law. Lu Xiang might even take the opportunity to matchmake her and Yi Zheng!

“I have something on next week, so I won’t go.” Shi Man refused bluntly and returned the design plan to Su Tang. “I’ll go back to my room to take a nap first. I won’t accompany you anymore.”

“Then I’ll go too!” Su Tang nodded apologetically at Shi Yu and Yi Zheng, then jogged up the stairs after Shi Man.

“Wait!” Yi Zheng stopped her from behind and said with a smile, “Even if you don’t want to see me, you have to give an explanation for lying to my mother. It’s not your style to hide like this.”

“Then what do you want?” Shi Man turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Her intuition told her that this man definitely did not have anything good to say. He might have dug another hole and was waiting for her to jump into it!

As expected, Yi Zheng’s next words made Shi Man roll her eyes in anger.

He spread his hands matter-of-factly and said, “No matter what difficulties you have for lying to your elder, I’m afraid you can’t get past Uncle Shi. Therefore, why don’t we cooperate? I’ll help you get past my mother. How about that?”

Shi Man glared at him expressionlessly. She already knew what evil tricks he had up his sleeves.

Yi Zheng still had that calm smile on his face. In fact, because Shi Man’s gaze lingered on him for a little longer this time, his smile became wider and wider. “I can help you act and pretend that the part where you lie is true.. As long as you successfully pass, I won’t ask for anything else, okay?”
