182 Marrying Into the Family
Ever since Shi Man got into the car, Shi He had been nagging her about how overboard Yi Zheng had been this time.
He showed her the apology texts sent by the various brands last night with an indignant expression. His dark brown hair was already burning with anger. “He occupied all the advertising brands. The advertisements I filmed a while ago were taken off the shelves at the same time. Now, the outside world is saying that Yi Zheng is targeting me! Even my fans are asking if there’s any conflict between the two of us!”
Shi Man held back her laughter and patted his shoulder righteously. “Tell them that in the future, when Yi Zheng marries into our family, he would have to call you Third Brother. Brother is the most important. He has to be respectful to you.”
“Huh?” Shi He suddenly restrained his anger and looked at Shi Man in disbelief. “You’re saying that Yi Zheng is marrying into our family? Do you want Yi Zheng to be a live-in son-in-law? Then won’t he be embarrassed to the point that the entire country knows? Would he agree?”
Shi He’s manager, Ning Hui, sat in the front passenger seat and turned around in shock. “Little Princess, don’t teach my Hehe such things. He will take it seriously!”
Others might not know, but Ning Hui knew best how bad the little princess was at this moment. Who dared to believe everything she said?
It was only because the Shi family treated her as an innocent girl that Shi Man, who was already smart, liked to tease people even more.
Shi He did not think that Shi Man was joking with him. Instead, he thought about the pros and cons of this matter seriously. After a while, he slapped his thigh and said in realization, “Sister, you’re so smart. If Yi Zheng becomes our family’s live-in son-in-law, you won’t have to leave the house after getting married. Wouldn’t that be no different from now? You don’t have to worry about being bullied in the Yi family!”
Shi Man smiled at him and nodded gently. “Yes, Brother’s analysis is right.”
Shi He immediately became proud. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Hui proudly. His eyes seemed to be saying, “You don’t know anything. My sister is the smartest and most capable person in the world.”
Ning Hui did not want to speak at all. The only thing he could do now was to swear that he could not give his phone to Shi He, lest he really be attacked online after making such an shocking announcement.
Anyone who had not gone crazy knew that Yi Zheng would never be someone’s live-in son-in-law and live a life under the nose of others.
Putting aside the fact that the Yi family had unfathomable strength and huge financial resources, no one would think that Yi Zheng was a cold person who was willing to compromise because of love, right?
Shi Man did not think so. She had no intention of experiencing life after marriage, so she was not too interested in marriage. However, if she had to find someone to marry, it had to be someone she really liked. Why would she find a man like Yi Zheng, who did not please her and was unwilling to wrong himself? Was she looking for trouble?
The car quickly arrived at the school gate. Only then did Ning Hui heave a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Shi Man would say something shocking later and completely lead Shi He, who was slow to react, astray. He hurriedly got out of the car and sent the little ancestor away. Ning Hui wiped his sweat and sat back in the car to educate Shi He.
At the school gate, Shi Man looked at the bodyguards blocking the way expressionlessly with Su Tang. Her thin lips curled up into a mocking smile. “Did Yi Zheng ask you to come?”
The man nodded slightly and cupped the large bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of her. “Miss Shi, my master said that there’s something you’re interested in here. Please be patient and take a look.”
“What is it?” Shi Man had no intention of reaching out to take it.
At this moment, there were already people coming and going at the school gate, but no one was willing to enter the school. They were all loitering at the door as if they wanted to witness this good show with their own eyes.
The bodyguard also knew that Shi Man was difficult to deal with. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and frowned. “Open it yourself and take a look. Master said that you must like it very much.”
“Forget it.” Shi Man held Su Tang’s hand and was about to walk around him into the school.
The man panicked and blocked her way in a panic. “It might be a check. I didn’t see it clearly. Miss Shi, why don’t you take a look yourself?”
“A check?” Shi Man couldn’t figure out why he was giving her money for no reason. She didn’t lack money to spend, but on second thought, she suddenly remembered what she had promised him that night.
She snatched the flowers from his hand and glanced at one of the flowers that revealed a corner of the paper. She took out the check expressionlessly.
Just as Shi Man had expected, this was indeed the remaining commission that the other party should have sent her after she put on a show for Hellgate. However, the number here was wrong.
Thinking of Yi Zheng’s self-righteous manner when he asked her for the venue fee that night, Shi Man sneered in her heart. She threw the check to him and said, “Bring it back to your master and say that I don’t want it anymore. Keep it as a betrothal gift for him to marry into the Shi family. Tell him to prepare the dowry well. Otherwise, I’ll break off the engagement.”
