“Yes,” Shi Mu agreed reluctantly and followed behind Tang Zhe with his sister.

After passing through the huge front hall garden, Shi Man saw Yi Zheng standing at the door expressionlessly from afar. He seemed to have been waiting for them to come.

He looked at the time on his watch and walked over. He stood in front of the two of them and said, “Was there a traffic jam? Why are you only here now?”

!!

Shi Man looked at him strangely and replied dryly, “No, I didn’t want to come, so I took my time to arrive.”

Yi Zheng glanced at her in amusement. Not only did he not feel angry, but he also felt that she looked very lively. He could not help but take a few more glances.

It seemed that his mother was right. As long as he changed his communication method, he could see a different Shi Man.

Before inviting the Shi family, Lu Xiang chatted with Yi Zheng for the entire afternoon and taught him how to woo a girl.

Yi Zheng pondered over his current mood. Although he did not admit that he was pursuing her, his methods looked very similar, so he patiently listened to his mother’s nagging.

Unexpectedly, his mother, who had always been unreliable, suddenly became reliable this time. He liked to see Shi Man like this. Compared to before, when she would only follow behind him foolishly, she clearly had the ability to make one feel helpless. However, he could not help but want to get close.

When they walked into the living room, Lu Xiang and Shen Xian were sitting side by side on the sofa chatting, peeling red grapefruit in their hands.

Seeing Shi Man, Lu Xiang was even happier than Shen Xian, her biological mother. She waved at her excitedly and insisted that she sit beside her before stopping.

It didn’t matter where Shi Man sat. After sitting on the sofa to Lu Xiang’s left, she took the teacup from the servant and drank it in small sips.

Shi Mu reacted extremely quickly. Seeing his sister sit down, he immediately passed Yi Zheng and rushed to his sister’s side. After sitting down beside her, he did not forget to glare at Yi Zheng provocatively. Then, he picked up a cup of hot tea and drank it.

Lu Xiang saw her son’s pursed lips and was afraid that he would throw Shi Mu out in a fit of anger. She hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Xiao Zheng, come and sit opposite me. You can have a good chat with your Aunt Shen.”

Yi Zheng nodded and sat down.

This way, he sat on Shi Mu’s left. Shi Mu, who was drinking tea, immediately paid attention to Yi Zheng’s movements warily, afraid that he would do something to make his sister unhappy.

The few of them sat together and chatted for a while before Shi Yu arrived.

As soon as he entered the living room, he hurriedly picked up a teacup and offered it to Lu Xiang as a gesture of apology. “Auntie Lu, the law firm has something on today and we delayed a little. Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll have a good drink with you later.”

“Sure.” Lu Xiang agreed with a smile.

Among the boys in the Shi family, only Shi Yu and Yi Zheng had the best relationship. Lu Xiang was also closer to him than to the other children and treated him as another biological son.

Seeing that Lu Xiang had no intention of blaming him and even accepted his tea, Shi Yu sat beside Yi Zheng in relief. After looking at him briefly, he looked at his sister. “Manman, do you want to eat grapefruit? I’ll peel it for you.”

“Sure.”

Shi Man nodded. She rarely ate such troublesome fruits, but since someone was willing to do it for her, she had no reason to refuse.

“Let me do it.” A pair of large hands suddenly reached out and took the grapefruit from Shi Yu’s hand. Yi Zheng peeled the grapefruit expressionlessly and picked it clean before handing it to Shi Man.

“Aiyo, I was about to eat grapefruit too. Give me this piece.” Shi Mu reached out and took the grapefruit that Yi Zheng had peeled for himself. Then, he turned around and looked at Shi Man with a smile. “Sister, be good. I’ll peel one for you myself later.”

Shi Man couldn’t help but smile. She glanced at the gloomy Yi Zheng and nodded readily. “Sure, the grapefruit Brother peeled would be more delicious.”

Shi Mu was even more smug now. After glaring at Yi Zheng provocatively, he stuffed the grapefruit into his mouth and began to peel one for his sister.

The few of them waited for Shi He to arrive before walking into the dining room to eat.

Shi Mu quietly lagged behind and bumped Shi He’s shoulder. “Don’t let Yi Zheng get close to Sister later. I realized that this guy has ulterior motives recently. We can’t let him succeed.”

Shi He looked at Yi Zheng’s back and nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. As long as I’m here, he can forget about succeeding!”

The two of them hit it off immediately. After looking at each other, they quickly took action. They walked on both sides of Shi Man and surrounded her tightly. Not to mention Yi Zheng, even Lu Xiang felt like there was a huge mountain between them.
