Yuan Yi drove them back to the Shi family first.
On the way, Madam Bai was still a little worried. From time to time, she would fidget and ask how long it would take for Bai Xue to get home.
Shi Man looked at her through the rearview mirror and gave her a reassuring look. “Auntie, don’t worry. My brother will definitely send Xiao Xue home safely!”
Although the Shi family had helped the mother and daughter a lot, Mother Bai could not feel at ease letting her daughter be alone with a man she used to have a relationship with late at night.
But even so, she could not make it too obvious. After all, the more uneasy she was, the more it looked like she did not trust Shi Mu. It made her look like she did not know what was good for her.
Shi Man and Su Tang comforted her a little more before Mrs. Bai gradually calmed down.
The car quickly arrived at Mrs. Bai’s house. After sending her off, the few of them returned to the Shi family. Unexpectedly, there was a car with its headlights on at the intersection that blocked their way.
The headlights were turned on to the brightest, clearly revealing a hint of aggressiveness.
Shi Man raised her hand to block the light that was shooting over and identified the model of the car through the gap between her fingers. The anger that had risen in her heart was suppressed again.
“I’ll go take a look.” Even a gentle person like Yuan Yi could not help but feel emotional being confronted like this.
Before he could get out of the car, Shi Man grabbed his arm and sighed helplessly. “I’ll go. Send Su Tang home first.”
“But!”
Yuan Yi wanted to say something, but Su Tang, who was sitting in the back row, had already recognized the car. She hurriedly stopped Yuan Yi and said, “Brother Yuan, let’s go back first. Brother Yi Zheng is here.”
Upon hearing this name, Yuan Yi quickly expressed his displeasure. He snorted and said in a muffled voice, “Oh, you really don’t need me to wait for you?”
“There’s no need.” Shi Man didn’t say anything else to him and opened the door to walk out.
The car parked in front of him kept sounding the car horn. This was a residential area with dense residents. If he continued pressing it, someone would probably stick their head out and scold him later.
Almost the moment Shi Man opened the car door and got out, the car horn and lights turned off at the same time.
Tang Zhe, who had come down from the driver’s seat, bowed slightly to her. Then, he personally opened the back door for her and made a “please come in” gesture.
Shi Man sat in expressionlessly and saw the man who had been running around with a crippled leg.
The night light only seeped into the car slightly, and a large shadow enveloped him. The ironed suit blended into the night, leaving only half a face that was clearly unhappy for her to see clearly.
The car door was closed with a click. She looked like she was about to denounce him. Looking at the man’s cannibalistic expression, Shi Man knew that he already knew her whereabouts today.
She sighed helplessly. “If you have something to say, just call. Why are you running out of the hospital again?”
Yi Zheng pursed his thin lips and did not speak. He stared straight at the car in front of him. It was not until Tang Zhe negotiated with the person driving and successfully let the car drive away that he turned back to look at her. His cold eyes stared straight at her face. “Why did you go out with him?”
Shi Man guessed that he was going to ask this, so she repeated what she had said to Yuan Yi in the car today. After saying that, she pointed at the bandage on his leg helplessly. “When will you recover if you move around like this? Do you not want to be engaged to me?”
“It’s almost done.” Yi Zheng picked up her hand and held it in his own. He tightened his jawline and complained to her coldly, “You didn’t come to see me all day, so 1 came over to take a look myself.”
“I took a nap in the afternoon. I didn’t expect you to wait for me,” Shi Man said honestly.
Since he had already come, she took out the note in her pocket and showed him the banquet list. “Look carefully for any enemies. If not, 1’11 get my family to start writing invitations.”
At the mention of the engagement, Yi Zheng’s mood instantly improved.
He raised his well-defined fingers slightly and pinched the other side of the note, letting Shi Man’s fingers still grab the side close to her. The two of them held up the thin paper sheet and looked at it carefully.
Shi Man’s other hand was still in his palm.
After reading it from beginning to end, Yi Zheng did not find anyone he did not want to see. He folded the note in satisfaction and took the initiative to help Shi Man put it back into his pocket. “I have no more problems here. Just send out invitations to anyone you want to invite. However, I’m not here to talk about this.”
“Then what do you want to say?” Shi Man’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was still holding onto Yuan Yi.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zheng mentioned something that had to be taken seriously.
“A large number of drugs have been flowing into the black market recently. I’ve sent people to investigate for a day, but we haven’t found the source. We’ve caught a few mercenaries who’ve taken drugs, but no matter how hard we torture them, they won’t say who the seller is..”
