Chapter 90 - 90 Gift
90 Gift
Yi Zheng was wearing a black suit and a black coat. After entering, he took off his coat and handed it to Butler Qi for safekeeping. Then, he nodded politely at Shen Xian and Shi Zhong. “Uncle Shi, Aunt Shen, I took the liberty to visit and brought a small gift. I hope you like it.”
He turned his head and glanced at his assistant.
Tang Zhe immediately took a step forward and handed over an elegantly decorated black box that was lined with gold. “CEO Shi, Mrs. Shen, this is an emerald ornament that my master especially got someone to find. Please take a look.”
“There’s no need to take a look. Yi Zheng is very considerate.” Shen Xian waved her hand and asked Butler Qi to accept the things. She lazily picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying calmly, “Sit.”
What Shen Xian meant was what Shi Zhong meant.
Yi Zheng lowered his eyes and sat opposite her respectfully. His gaze swept across Shi Man, who was drinking tea expressionlessly. He suddenly smiled and said, “Manman’s performance today is very outstanding. She’s very different from before.”
“Our Manman has always been very outstanding, but some people are too blind and delayed my Manman for no reason.” Shi Mu simply didn’t like him and couldn’t help but scold him.
Yi Zheng pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Shi Yu coughed lightly and glared at Shi Mu. He smiled and said, “Are you here to bring Miss Su Tang back?”
“Not entirely.” Yi Zheng did not take Shi Mu’s words to heart. He still maintained a faint smile on his lips. “I came this time because I haven’t visited Uncle Shi and Aunt Shen in a long time. I should come and visit.”
“Yi Zheng, we’ve watched you grow up and know your personality. However, you have to know that Shi Man is our Shi family’s treasure. We can’t let anyone bully her easily.” Shen Xian looked calm, but her words were filled with warning.
Yi Zheng understood and nodded. “Aunt Shen, don’t worry. I won’t mistreat Manman.”
Shen Xian thought that he would say something about the annulment, but she did not expect him to agree. She looked at Shi Zhong in confusion.
“Hiss.” Shi Mu’s hair stood on end from Yi Zheng’s words tonight. He couldn’t help but shiver. “Stop, stop, stop. Yi Zheng, don’t tell me you’ve suddenly changed. Didn’t you address my sister using her full name in the past?”
Shi Yu also found it strange. He had the best relationship with Yi Zheng and had never seen Yi Zheng call a girl by her nickname so intimately.
Could it be that he didn’t want to cancel the engagement with Manman?
If he was sincere, Shi Yu would naturally be happy to see it happen. However, if he had other motives, Shi Yu would not let him treat his precious sister as a chess piece.
“Yi Zheng, the person my sister is going to marry in the future must sincerely love her. Do you understand?”
Yi Zheng glanced at Shi Man, who looked like she had nothing to do with him, and smiled deeply. “I understand.”
Shi Man held her forehead speechlessly. She put down her teacup and glared at him. “It’s too late. Like I said, I want to…”
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll leave first.” Yi Zheng stood up and bid farewell to Shi Zhong and Shen Xian before Shi Man could finish. He took the coat from Butler Qi and placed it in the crook of his arm. He looked at Shi Man meaningfully and left with Su Tang.
When the car arrived outside the Yi family’s door, Tang Zhe glanced at his master through the rearview mirror and frowned slightly. “Miss Su, please go in first.”
Su Tang did not dare to ask about Yi Zheng and nodded obediently. “Then I’ll go in first. Brother Yi, rest early.”
Yi Zheng was unmoved and sat indifferently in the back seat. It was not until she got out of the car and opened the door, allowing a cold wind to blow in, that his body trembled imperceptibly.
“Master, your poison is acting up again.” Although there was nothing abnormal about Yi Zheng from his performance, Tang Zhe could still deduce his physical condition from the details. He asked worriedly, “Why don’t I inform Immaculate now and get them to prepare to give you acupuncture?”
“Arrange it for tomorrow night.”
Shi Man had just returned home from practical training today and should rest well for the night.
He endured another burning pain in his body and felt a little better.
Tang Zhe quickly got out of the car and opened the door. He took the coat and draped it over his shoulder. “Master, I’ll heat up today’s medicine for you. You can sleep after drinking it.”
“Yes.” Yi Zheng walked through the door without changing his expression. He suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks. “Have you done a stocktake of the firearms brought back from the army?”
“Yes, I have.” Tang Zhe nodded and reported the statistics. He frowned and asked, “Master, how do you plan to deal with it?”
Yi Zheng suddenly thought of the silver carved pistol he had seen on the surveillance camera that day and the girl’s valiant figure. He raised his hand and fiddled with the golden jade ring on his thumb. He said calmly, “I’ll give them all to Immaculate.”
“Master?” Tang Zhe did not expect Yi Zheng to be willing to part with this batch of precious firearms. Although they had promised to hand over a fixed number of firearms to Immaculate on time every month, it did not have to be this batch.
Yi Zheng had gone through a lot of trouble to get this. So it was for Shi Man?
