Shi Man tilted her head and looked past Yi Zheng’s broad chest at the pitiful woman outside. Her eyes were filled with smiles as she teased, “Yo, which little sister is this?”
Yi Zheng shook his head helplessly, his expression softening slightly. “I don’t know her. Don’t misunderstand.”
“I didn’t misunderstand you.” Shi Man supported her head with one hand and looked at the door with a smile. She waved gently, indicating for the two of them to come in.
The little girl was slightly stunned. Thinking of the mission her brother had given her, this might be a good way to get close to Shi Man, so she braced herself and walked in.
Lin Lin had already walked into the private room before her and glared at Shi Man angrily. “Why are you still pestering Brother Yi Zheng? Why are you so shameless?”
With a bang, the tray was slammed onto the table by Yi Zheng.
He turned his head slightly, his jawline tightening, his face filled with anger. “If you can’t watch your words, 1 don’t mind throwing you out like trash.”
“Brother Yi Zheng…” Lin Lin widened her eyes in disbelief and pointed at herself excitedly.” Have you forgotten? I’m Lin Lin. Lin Yue is my cousin. We met many times at the ball!”
“Oh?” Yi Zheng looked over with indifferent eyes, his attitude still cold. “I don’t care who you are. Shi Man is my girlfriend. Although she let you in, if you speak rudely again, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Lin Lin’s face flushed red, especially when she was insulted in front of her subordinate. Humiliation and grievance immediately lingered in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Brother Yi Zheng, did this woman drug you?”
The man clicked his tongue impatiently. Just as he was about to throw her out, Shi Man suddenly raised her hand to stop him. A trace of interest appeared in her black eyes. “Are you from the Lin family?”
“Yes!” Lin Lin raised her chin proudly and said arrogantly, “I’m Madam Lin’s biological niece. My status is not inferior to yours! Moreover, Brother Yi Zheng used to hate you very much. 1 don’t believe he likes you much now!”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and suddenly remembered that in the original novel, when Yi Zheng dealt with the Shi family, the Lin family seemed to be involved, especially when they abused Shi Man. There seemed to be someone called Lin Lin who stabbed the Host again when she was covered in wounds.
However, this plot did not seem to be particularly important, so she did not take it to heart when she attended the Lin Corporation’s gala last time.
However, when she saw Lin Lin, she suddenly became interested. She tapped her finger on the wine glass and Shi Man said slowly, “Pour the wine, Miss Lin. Do you know why 1 called you in?”
The waitress tactfully filled the wine glass in front of her and quickly retreated to the side, trying to reduce his presence.
Lin Lin frowned, as if she was thinking about her intention of asking this question. She muttered in confusion, “Aren’t you worried that something will really happen between Brother Yi Zheng and me, so you want to call me in to declare your sovereignty?”
Shi Man could not help but laugh at her.
Lin Lin’s face turned green. She pointed at Shi Man’s nose angrily and questioned, “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”
Shi Man shook her head helplessly and took a sip of the red wine in the glass. The smile in her eyes did not fade. “I called you in because 1 want you to see clearly today that Yi Zheng is mine now. If you choose to give up, we’ll be fine. If you continue to pester…”
“What do you want?” Lin Lin trembled slightly with an inexplicable guilt, but in order to make her aura not look weak, she still raised her chin arrogantly. However, her stiff back and flushed face still betrayed the timidity in her heart.
Shi Man shrugged and said matter-of-factly, “Then don’t blame me for not being able to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex. After all, I’m still very petty.”
Lin Lin’s arrogance clearly weakened. Her eyes were red as she looked at Yi Zheng, who was staring at the other woman infatuatedly. She suddenly stomped her feet in anger and felt embarrassed. She snorted and turned to leave the private room.
The waitress hurriedly followed behind. Halfway there, she turned back and bent down to apologize to Shi Man. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that he had a girlfriend just now. Please don’t be angry.”
“I’m not angry.” Shi Man narrowed her eyes and smiled, her expression lazy like an obedient kitten.
The little girl blushed inexplicably. When she reacted, Yi Zheng’s cold gaze had already landed on her.
She hurriedly nodded and thanked him, before quickly slipping out of the private room.
There was finally no one else in the room. Yi Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. As he helped her cut the steak, he teased curiously, “Why are you willing to talk so much to someone today? You’re usually concise even when you talk to me.”
Shi Man chuckled and took the initiative to hold his hand. She teased, “Because you can’t be the only one working hard to chase away a love rival. I have to contribute too..”
