Yi Zheng parked the car and picked up the car keys in amusement. “Who do you think called me to see that woman?”

A trace of anger appeared on Shi Man’s face. She got out of the car, grabbed his arm, and pressed him against the car door. “No matter how much my brother doesn’t like you, he won’t be selfish enough to betray you for his own matters. He’s not that kind of person.”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and moved her closer and closer to him. He narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and said, “Yes, since you trust him so much, you should have guessed the truth, right?”

Shi Mu had indeed followed Bai Yao’s instructions and called Yi Zheng to meet him. He had no choice but to do so because of the Shi family’s reputation.

But in reality, when he received a threatening call from Bai Yao early in the morning, telling him that he had to come to Bai Hua District, he knew that Bai Yao couldn’t hold herself back and was about to make a move.

That was why he had called Yi Zheng before he left to remind him of what might happen next.

Meeting Yi Zheng in front of Bai Yao was just a pretense.

This was all because Shi Man had instigated Bai Xue to defect in advance and found out about Bai Yao’s true plan. Otherwise, even if Shi Mu had wanted to remind Shi Man, he would not have known the target.

The two people beside the car were still in a deadlock when they suddenly heard a loud female voice coming from upstairs.

From the window upstairs, Bai Xue looked awkwardly at the two of them who were pressed against each other. Under Shi Mu’s pressure, she braced herself and shouted, “Come up quickly. It’s too cold outside!”

Shi Man did not need to look up to know who had instructed her to shout. She felt a little embarrassed and got up from him expressionlessly. She turned around and left, but the tips of her ears were suspiciously pink.

It was unknown if it was because of the cold weather outside or for some other reason.

Yi Zheng chuckled and followed her upstairs. As soon as he entered, his vision was blocked by Shi Mu.

Bai Xue held Shi Man’s arm happily, but as soon as her fingers touched her, she was frightened by her cold gaze. She quickly let go and invited her into the living room. She knelt in front of the two of them. “Thank you. You saved my mother. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future.”

Yi Zheng only glanced at her lightly before looking away. He casually looked at a certain someone standing at the side, as if he had nothing to do with this scene.

Shi Mu touched his nose awkwardly. He lowered his head and said with a flushed face, “Hey, I have to thank you too. 1 know that even though I’ve reminded you in advance, you could have chosen to leave me in the lurch and not get involved in this matter. If you hadn’t gone, Bai Yao won’t let me off either.”

“Yes.” Only then did Yi Zheng respond in a good mood. He leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down. “It seems that you’ve really learned a lot after experiencing this. At least your mouth isn’t so annoying anymore.”

Shi Mu gritted his teeth and turned his head away. He helped Bai Xue to pour tea for the two of them and pulled his sister to the other side to sit down. “Although you’ve helped me a lot this time, 1 won’t agree to you being with my sister so easily.”

“Then what do you want?” Yi Zheng glanced at him with an unfriendly tone.

Shi Man patted his tense shoulders gently and said helplessly, “Brother, now is not the time to quarrel.”

Shi Mu snorted reluctantly. “I’ll monitor in the future. If 1 find out you treating my sister badly, I won’t let you off.”

Bai Xue tried her best to suppress her presence and not get involved in their family matters. When they had said everything they needed to say, she mustered her courage to out of the kitchen and pour hot tea for them. She looked at Shi Man hesitantly.

“I know what you want to say.” Her body was still a little hot. Perhaps it was because she had smelled the strange fragrance just now, so she did not touch the cup of hot tea. She said coldly, “Your mother was seriously injured when she was saved. She’s in the hospital now.”

Bai Xue suddenly raised her head, the tears in her eyes rolling non-stop. “1 want to go and see her. Can 1?”

As if afraid that Shi Man still had concerns, she knelt in front of her again and begged humbly, “Please, I just want to see my mother safe with my own eyes. Don’t worry, I’ll abort this child immediately and won’t cause you any trouble.”

For some reason, at the mention of the child, Shi Man inexplicably felt her brother’s body freeze for a moment. Her thoughts raced as she helped her up from the ground and comforted her. “1 didn’t let you see her just now because Bai Yao hasn’t been caught yet. 1 was afraid that something unexpected would happen. Now, it’s fine. If you want to go, let my brother take you there.”

Bai Xue quickly glanced at Shi Mu and shook her head. “No, there’s no need to trouble Brother Shi. 1 can go by myself. I’ve already caused a lot of trouble for your family. It’s just a small matter like going to the hospital. 1 can do it myself.”

“No.” Shi Man refused bluntly. When she saw Bai Xue’s shocked gaze, she explained slowly, “You’re pregnant with my brother’s child now. After all, you’re a victim. He should be responsible for you. It’s good even if he has to accompany you to send this child away..”
