179 Two Fathers
When he sent his sister to school in the morning, he specially asked her what she planned to do. Now that he saw this situation, he immediately understood that this was Yi Zheng’s method of acting first and reporting later.
After Shi Ke told Shi Zhong his guess in detail, Shi Zhong believed that his daughter really did not want to marry Yi Zheng. She was not even willing to agree to the other party’s blatant proposal. It could be seen that she really did not have Yi Zheng in her heart.
While he heaved a sigh of relief, Shi Zhong couldn’t help but feel that it was a pity for his daughter.
He still liked Yi Zheng very much. Even if his methods of wooing Shi Man were wrong, he did not dislike him much. He even felt that this child was decisive, which was why he became the CEO of the Yi family at such a young age.
Since this matter was a game between the two children, there was no need for him to interfere. Instead, he asked Yi Zheng’s father, Yi Long, to play golf and handed the company’s piled-up documents to his eldest son, Shi Ke.
The two men came together and their conversation naturally touched on the marriage of the two children.
Yi Long patted Shi Zhong’s shoulder apologetically and said, “Yi Zheng didn’t do it appropriately this time, but I can also tell that the child must have been forced into a corner. If Manman can like Yi Zheng again, that child will be very happy.”
Shi Zhong snorted and said in confusion, “I wonder why Yi Zheng suddenly likes my daughter again to this extent. If he had agreed earlier, wouldn’t there not be so much trouble?”
“We don’t have to worry.” Yi Long swung out and watched as the golf ball accurately shot into the hole. He immediately said in surprise, “Let them handle their matters themselves. As long as they don’t go overboard, we don’t need to interfere.���
“You have the stomach for risk.” Shi Zhong waved his hand indignantly, but this time, the golf ball rolled not far from the hole. “Back then, you actually dared to hand such a huge family business to Yi Zheng, who has no management experience. It’s all thanks to this child’s hard work. Otherwise, would you have the time to practice golf in this place?”
Yi Long laughed nonchalantly and said, “Old Shi, are you jealous that I’m playing better than you now? Why don’t we compete again?”
“So be it!” Shi Zhong lost his temper.
The two of them were sweating profusely on the course and completely forgot about Yi Zheng and Shi Man’s marriage.
In the private room, Yi Zheng personally poured a glass of red wine for Shi Yu. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, “This is between Manman and me. Don’t interfere.”
No matter how gentle Shi Yu was and how good-tempered he was, he could not tolerate it when it involved his sister’s reputation. He frowned tightly and glared at him with an unfriendly expression. “I’m her biological brother. Of course I have the right to interfere in her matters. Yi Zheng, my sister doesn’t like you now. Stop pestering her and quickly remove those advertisements.”
“No.” Yi Zheng sat up straight and said coldly, “I want Shi Man to marry me willingly, and she can only marry me.”
Shi Yu glared at him incredulously and said, “Why? Why did you suddenly insist on Manman? If you feel disappointed because she suddenly stopped chasing after you, then I’ll tell you seriously that this is not love at all. You should let go as soon as possible and not waste her life.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a faint smile. “How do you know I don’t really like her? I like her very much now.”
“Are you serious?” Shi Yu clenched his fists in disbelief and asked with a dark expression, “Okay, then tell me, what exactly do you like about Manman?”
Yi Zheng suddenly chuckled, his eyes shining. “I like her secret that only I know.”
“What?” Shi Yu frowned at him in confusion. Seeing that he was unwilling to explain, he asked anxiously, “What secret is it? You actually said that you’re the only one who knows?”
He and his sister had lived under the same roof for more than twenty years and had not discovered any secrets about Manman. How dare Yi Zheng say that only he knew?
Jealousy surged in his chest uncontrollably. A hint of danger flashed across Shi Yu’s gentle eyes. “I’m warning you, Yi Zheng. Even if you really like Manman, please pursue her in a gentler way. Don’t do what you did today again.”
“She forced me to do this.” The light in Yi Zheng’s eyes was dim. Thinking of the intimate couple he saw from the surveillance camera at noon, he felt uncomfortable.
“How did she force you?” Shi Yu asked in confusion.
Yi Zheng didn’t want to answer his question. No matter what, he couldn’t say that Shi Man was hugging another man. It seemed that if he said it, it would be as if Shi Man was really with another man.
Shi Yu looked at his suddenly gloomy and silent expression. Suddenly, his patience ran out. He stood up in frustration and stared down at his former best friend. “If you do anything to make things difficult for Manman again, I won’t let you off.”
