n124 Jealous

nAfter Shi Mu walked in, he looked at the chair in front of Shi Man in surprise and suddenly asked, “Sister, who was that person just now? He was here for you, right?”

n“Yes.” Shi Man nodded. After packing her things, she stuffed the umbrella Yuan Yi had left behind into his hand. “Use it.”

n“Sister! You actually remembered to bring an umbrella!” Shi Mu was surprised for a moment before he suddenly realized something. He frowned and looked at the umbrella in his hand seriously. “That’s not right. This isn’t our umbrella, right? Our family doesn’t have an umbrella of such average quality.”

nShi Man glanced at him in amusement and patted his shoulder. “Stop looking, Brother. Let’s go. I’m hungry.”

nAs soon as he heard that his sister was hungry, Shi Mu immediately threw that question to the back of his mind. He quickly helped his sister carry her backpack and the two of them walked downstairs side by side.

nWhen they reached the entrance hall on the first floor, the heavy rain outside did not weaken at all.

nShi Mu raised the umbrella and covered most of Shi Man’s head. “Sister, let’s go to the car quickly. Brother will bring you home for dinner.”

n“If you hold the umbrella like this, you’ll be drenched before you reach the car.” Shi Man raised her eyebrows. After straightening the umbrella, she walked into the rain.

nShe was never afraid of the wind and rain, nor did she need others to deliberately sacrifice their health to take care of her. Even if her current physical fitness was not as good as before, this did not mean that she had become delicate. The brothers of the Shi family looked inferior to her when it came to toughness.

nShi Mu didn’t know what his sister was thinking. He just thought that his sister felt sorry for him and was moved to tears.

nAfter the two of them got into the car, Shi Mu personally drove back to the Shi family. As soon as they entered the Shi family’s manor, they saw the Yi family’s car parked in the courtyard.

nThe butler walked over with an umbrella to pick up Shi Man and reminded her softly, “President Yi is here. He doesn’t look too good.”

n“What’s wrong? Who provoked him again?” Although she said that, looking at the expression on Shi Man’s face, she could not feel any concern.

nThe butler was stunned for a moment, but he decided to tell her everything. “President Yi seems to be jealous.”

n“Jealous?” Shi Man stared at the butler in confusion and frowned. “Su Tang came too?”

n“No.” The butler looked at his Miss in confusion, not understanding why she mentioned Su Tang at this time. Afraid that he would miss any details, he probed, “Is President Yi jealous because you’ve been too close to Miss Su Tang recently?”

n“No way?” Shi Man was stunned.

nCould it be that there had been no progress in the relationship between the male and female leads recently, but she had interacted too much with the female lead and was an eyesore to the male lead?

nHowever, the butler was thinking that his Miss was clearly more concerned about Su Tang than President Yi. Could it be that President Yi had really changed his mind and started to fight for favor?

nThe two of them walked into the villa with their own thoughts. Shi Mu parked the car and followed them in with an umbrella.

nIn the living room, Yi Zheng stood up and sized up Shi Man first. When he saw that her hand was empty, his expression softened a little. However, when he saw Shi Mu coming in behind him, his face fell.

nShi Mu touched his nose inexplicably and glared at him confidently. “What do you mean by that? This is my house! If you don’t like to see me, go back to the Yi family. Who are you showing off to here!”

nAfter Shen Xian scolded him softly, she walked to her precious daughter and picked up a shawl to cover her with it. “Baby, did you catch a cold? It was raining too heavily outside today. The driver’s car was stuck on the road, causing you to come back with Shi Mu. He was so careless. Did he let you get wet?”

nShi Man shook her head and was about to say something to reassure Shen Xian when she saw Yi Zheng’s thin lips move slightly. He glanced at the thing in Shi Mu’s hand and said coldly, “Aunt Shen, Manman won’t be drenched in the rain. After all, someone personally went to give her an umbrella.”

nThese words were choking. Shi Man subconsciously looked at the umbrella and suddenly asked, “If not for this umbrella, could you have arrived in time to pick me up?”

n“I can.” Yi Zheng nodded firmly.

nAt that time, Tang Zhe was looking at the surveillance video in Class F and telling him that Shi Man might not have brought an umbrella.

nHe almost immediately put down his work and personally brought the driver and Tang Zhe over to pick her up. However, when his car was about to reach Cassel Academy, a man appeared in the surveillance video.

nThat person said something to Shi Man and even left her his umbrella before leaving.

nYi Zheng immediately felt angry. He instructed the driver to turn the car around and come to the Shi family first just to wait for Shi Man to give him an explanation.

nUnfortunately, Shi Man was not inclined to explain to him, because in her opinion, there was no need.

nShe didn’t know why Yi Zheng could give such a definite answer, but in her opinion, she didn’t think a man could easily move her just by opening his mouth.

nYuan Yi and Yi Zheng were the same. Without tangible virtue, she would not be easily moved by any man.
