Chapter 174 - 174 Angry
174 Angry
Everyone in the city knew about Yi Zheng’s feat.
After Shi Man and Yuan Yi returned to school, everyone in the same grade knew Shi Man’s temperament and did not dare to approach her, but the students of the other grades did not know. They surrounded the entrance of the teaching building and waited for her to appear so that they could ask her personally.
Seeing Yuan Yi following Shi Man from afar, the crowd was slightly stunned before they hurriedly pounced over.
“Shi Man, did you really succeed in wooing your love? Or is this another trick of yours?”
“Shi Man, did you create so many billboards? Aren’t you afraid that Yi Zheng will be angry if he finds out?”
“Why did you come back from outside the school with another boy? Did you arrange for the entire city to announce it just now?”
The noisy discussion around almost drowned Shi Man. The direction of the crowd gradually changed from guessing that the two of them were really engaged to this new trick of Shi Man’s to woo Yi Zheng.
Shi Man wanted to laugh when she heard this. She was angry and her lips naturally curled into a cold smile. “This is a trick Yi Zheng made to woo me.”
“What? You said Yi Zheng pursued you?”
“How is this possible? He doesn’t like you at all!”
The crowd, who had been discussing and preparing to scold Shi Man, suddenly fell silent for a moment before erupting with even crazier screams.
A series of questions hit her face mercilessly. Shi Man couldn’t take it anymore. Just as she was about to flare up, she saw Shi Mu angrily bringing the Student Union to maintain order.
After finally squeezing to the front, Shi Mu shielded Shi Man behind him and glared at the students who were spitting at her. “Are you all crazy? Why didn’t you ask Yi Zheng what he did? Why did you come and make things difficult for my sister? Are you bullying the Shi family? Huh? All the credits of everyone present today will be deducted by ten points. If anyone causes trouble again, they will be severely punished!”
The noisy crowd immediately quietened down. A few unconvinced people were quickly stopped by their classmates. Only then did they regain their rationality.
Although Shi Man did not have a good reputation outside and everyone treated her as a lunatic, the Shi family behind her was not to be trifled with. Even if they were either rich or noble, not many of them were qualified to be taken seriously by the Shi family.
The crowd that had surrounded Shi Man just now immediately scattered like birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared completely.
Shi Mu heaved a sigh of relief, his face filled with anger. “This Yi Zheng is really wicked. I’ve already told the family about this. Manman, don’t worry. We’ll definitely help you.”
Shi Man nodded expressionlessly; her mood was already extremely bad.
Shi Mu wanted to send his sister back to the classroom personally in case anything happened again, but when he saw Yuan Yi standing on the other side, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He frowned and asked in confusion, “Why are you with Manman?”
Yuan Yi could hear the vigilance in his tone and helplessly told him what he had just done with Shi Man.
Only then did Shi Mu know how much Yuan Yi had sacrificed to help his sister get rid of Yi Zheng. He quickly hugged his shoulder gratefully and said, “Don’t blame me for my unfriendly tone just now. I have to be especially careful during critical times. Brother, our Shi family owes you a favor this time. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”
“Okay.” Yuan Yi looked at the time and consciously left space for the siblings. “Then send Manman back first. I have to go back to class. I’m probably going to be pestered by my classmates who will be asking about what happened just now.”
Shi Mu felt even more guilty when he heard that. He waved at him and promised that he would hold a banquet to thank him. Then, he walked back to the classroom with Shi Man.
Along the way, many students secretly looked in Shi Man’s direction. After being glared at by Shi Mu, they quickly put away their curiosity which would cause trouble for them.
At the classroom door, Shi Man gently looked up at him with a calm expression. “Brother, go back first. We’ll talk when we get back tonight.”
“Okay.” Shi Mu nodded and added worriedly, “Don’t leave after school. Wait for Big Brother and me to pick you up. Then the three of us will go back together.”
After what happened today, Shi Ke would definitely come no matter how busy he was.
Shi Man agreed softly and walked into the classroom expressionlessly.
Su Tang looked at Shi Man’s unhappy expression worriedly and asked carefully, “Manman, what’s going on between you and Brother Yi? Are you really getting engaged?”
Shi Man was not too frustrated, but for some reason, when she heard Su Tang ask her this, an evil fire began to run through her body. She suddenly looked up, narrowed her eyes, and smiled evilly. “He was in a hurry to get married and insisted on dragging me down with him. Why don’t you marry him for me? Anyway, he will like you very much in the future.”
“He will like me very much?” Su Tang looked at her in confusion, her heart pounding. It was not the possibility that Yi Zheng would fall for her that made her nervous, but Shi Man’s current expression did not look normal.
She touched Shi Man’s arm worriedly. “You don’t like Brother Yi very much and don’t want to marry him at all, right?”
