Yi Zheng sat upright in his seat. Although he was not at the head of the table, he had an innate leadership aura.
Under everyone’s gaze, he opened his thin lips and said firmly, “I’ll only say this once. This matter has nothing to do with me or the Shi family.”
Yi Kun gritted his teeth. The light in the eyes of the smiling youth beside him became deeper and deeper.
Yi Ming pondered for a moment and closed his eyes tiredly. “Reason.”
Yi Zheng briefly explained that Nighthawk had sent people to destroy the Shi family’s amusement park. He said that he had brought people to attack Hellgate as a misjudgment of information. He did not mention anything else and pretended not to know.
Yi Ming listened to the whole story without saying a word. He slowly nodded and said, “Yes, so it really has nothing to do with you.”
“Dad! This is a serious matter. We can’t come to a conclusion so easily. We have to ask properly.” Yi Kun interrupted the Old Master indignantly and glared at Yi Zheng. “I want to know why Nighthawk wants to destroy the Shi family’s territory for no reason.”
The man sitting at the end of the table was obviously in cahoots with Yi Kun. Receiving his look, he quickly chimed in, “That’s right, that’s right. The Shi family has never been involved in these things. Why would they offend Nighthawk for no reason?”
The focus of the entire venue fell on Shi Man again. Many people looked like they were watching a good show, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Although the Shi family was the richest family, this eldest daughter was very unpresentable. Everyone in the circle had an unspoken mutual understanding. Shi Zhong did not dote on this daughter much. In the past, Yi Zheng had also ignored her, but for some reason, he had started to protect her again recently.
However, no matter what the reason was, it was an undeniable fact that Shi Man was a brainless and arrogant young lady. They did not take such a stupid person seriously at all.
Under everyone’s gazes, this group of people only wanted to watch Shi Man stomp her feet in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, the legendary willful and rude young lady did not blush at all when they stared at her with such blatant ridicule. Instead, she sneered and raised her eyelids slightly. She looked at Yi Kun lazily and said in a disrespectful tone, “This is the Shi family’s business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Yi Kun was furious and was about to flare up on the spot.
However, Shi Man did not intend to retreat just like that. She continued to look at him calmly. “You wanted to chase me away just now because the Yi family’s meeting had nothing to do with me. I think so too. However, since the matter involves me, I can sit down and explain to you for Yi Zheng and Uncle and Auntie. However, don’t forget that the Shi family has nothing to do with you.”
Under Yi Kun’s increasingly vicious gaze, Shi Man smiled mockingly and said leisurely, “Therefore, 1 don’t have to report everything about the Shi family to you. Am I clear enough?”
“You!” Yi Kun stood up angrily, but the back of his hand suddenly touched a warm and rough palm.
Yi Ming pressed his son down and finally opened his eyes. He smiled at Shi Man and said, “You made it very clear. Since the matter has nothing to do with you now, 1 think it shouldn’t be a problem to ask Miss Shi to leave now and let our family stay to discuss some private matters, right?”
Shi Man stood up without thinking. After saying goodbye to Yi Long and his wife, she turned around and walked out without hesitation.
Yi Zheng wanted to follow her hurriedly. Yi Ming suddenly slammed the table and said, “Xiao Zheng, the Yi family’s lifeline is in your hands now. Is it appropriate for you to leave?”
Yi Zheng’s footsteps moved slightly, but he did not turn around. He only tilted his head and glanced at the elder in the lead from the corner of his eye. His tone was calm and cold. “Since you know that I’m the head of the Yi family now, you can come to me directly if you need anything in the future. One more thing. The city area where the explosion happened has suffered heavy losses. 1 hope everyone can do their best and not only start internal strife at a critical moment.”
“Are you referring to me?” Yi Kun flushed with agitation. If Yi Ming hadn’t stopped him, he would have rushed up to teach his nephew a lesson.
Yi Zheng ignored him. After saying goodbye to Old Master Yi Ming, he glanced at his parents and turned to catch up with Shi Man.
The office suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Yi Kun tried to hold it in, but in the end, his anger exploded. He glared at Yi Long and said, “It’s all your fault. 1 told you not to give him the power so early, but you didn’t listen. Now, this little brat has grown up. He doesn’t even care about me as his uncle!”
Yi Long sneered in his heart, but his expression was peaceful. “Xiao Zheng is right. The most important thing now is not to argue here, but to arrange for reinforcements as soon as possible.”
Yi Kun was angry that he was biased toward Yi Zheng. He pointed at his youngest son beside him angrily and said, “If only we had let these two brothers manage the company together back then. Yi Zheng wouldn’t have been so lawless!”
“That’s enough!” Yi Ming interrupted his roar in frustration. His brows furrowed into a few deep furrows. “Stop arguing. Just do as Xiao Zheng says..”
