Song Zhi smiled bitterly and hugged the teacup to warm her hands. “What else is there from me for you to use now?”
The Song family’s business was completely ruined because of her. Her father was depressed after drinking and actually hit her mother. She was also slapped twice for causing trouble.
Song Zhi, who originally prided herself on her status, realized overnight that she was actually nothing.
Her confidence and self-esteem had been completely dealt a blow, and she had yet to recover.
Bai Yao and Chen Zong looked at each other and said, “We need you to join us. Don’t you want to take your brother back from that woman, Shi Man?”
Song Zhi suddenly looked up at the two of them in disbelief. “You want me to help deal with Shi Man?”
Bai Yao nodded solemnly and pointed at Chen Zong. “This is Chen Min’s younger brother, Chen Zong. You know about Chen Min. Because of Shi Man, she’s still cooped up at home and doesn’t dare to go out.”
Song Zhi was slightly stunned before she carefully sized up the boy in front of her.
His eyes were exquisite and good-looking, and there was a hint of roguishness in his eyes. It was obvious that he was the type who would attract ignorant girls.
Song Zhi blushed and lowered her head, her fingers subconsciously fumbling with the teacup. “1’11 consider it seriously. Can you tell me your plan first?”
Chen Zong smiled smugly and reached out to lift her hair ambiguously. “What’s the hurry? Let’s sit down and have a good meal to get familiar with each other.”
Song Zhi’s face turned even redder. She hurriedly avoided his hand and said with a trembling voice, “I, I still have something on at home.”
“Don’t. It’s so insincere to leave when you just came. We’re in the same boat now. We should be more honest with each other, right?” As he spoke, he moved the chair to Song Zhi’s side.
He had just realized that although Song Zhi looked fierce, she was actually submissive and easy to manipulate.
He had always liked such women.
In his mind, women should listen to men. Women were born weak and were not as strong as men. Naturally, they should not have a higher status than men.
Therefore, Song Zhi’s behavior since she entered made him very satisfied.
Bai Yao saw through his thoughts and sneered in her heart. However, she tried her best to facilitate it on the surface.
Chen Zong was very satisfied with her understanding of the situation. He felt even more that he had been more careful that day. It was a wise decision to record the scene of Song Zhi losing face in the cafeteria.
In the office, Yi Zheng listened to Shi Man relating Shi Mu’s matter quietly. His fingers on his lap tapped his knee subconsciously. “Alright, this matter is not difficult, but what do you want me to help with?”
Shi Man did not want to ask him for help, but now that Sean and the others had completed the mission with injuries, it was too inhumane to send them out to investigate in the cold. She could only ask him for help.
“I want you to lend me some people. I want to find out where the Bai family is hiding Bai Xue’s mother.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s easy. The Blood Oath doesn’t lack manpower the least, but don’t 1 have any benefits?”
Shi Man was furious. This man really didn’t get up early without benefits.
Suppressing her anger, she said coldly, “What do you want?”
Yi Zheng smiled and said, “Let me go to your house for the new year. My mother and father want to travel overseas during the new year leave. I’m the only one left at home.”
Shi Man was slightly stunned. The anger in her heart quietly dissipated, leaving her confused. “That’s it?”
Yi Zheng nodded matter-of-factly, his eyes filled with a mischievous smile. “Otherwise, what unreasonable request do you think I’ll make?”
Shi Man coughed awkwardly and agreed readily. “Alright, just come to the house when the time comes. Even if you don’t mention it, my parents won’t leave you alone for the New Year.”
Yi Zheng shook his head. The doting smile on his lips seemed to be able to drown one in it. “That’s different. You agreed to it yourself. When the time comes, there won’t be any reason to chase me away.”
Shi Man felt helpless.
However, this man’s love had never been a burden to her. Instead, he was always thinking for her sake. That was why she was willing to continue the bet and never called for a pause.
The two of them hit it off. Yi Zheng’s goal was achieved, and his mood became even better. Suddenly, he interlocked his fingers with hers, and his gaze was so intense. “Manman, do you still remember that last time we had a movie we didn’t finish watching? You said that you would compensate me!”
The smile on Shi Man’s lips froze. She said with a troubled expression, “But 1 still have work to do.”
“Alright, go ahead. I won’t disturb you.” Yi Zheng let go very quickly. Just like the last time, he sat quietly on the sofa and casually picked up a book to read. However, his right hand seemed to touch his abdomen unintentionally.
Shi Man stood at the side and stared at his side profile for a while. She sighed helplessly and said, “Forget it. You’ve been waiting for me here. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go out and fill our stomachs first. I’ll be busy when we come back.”
Only then did Yi Zheng smile again. “Alright, I’ll listen to you..”
