Chapter 109 - 109 The Mastermind
109 The Mastermind
Shi Man searched the room for a long time and finally confirmed that the jade bracelet on the table might be the legendary love token.
Thinking about it, with the original host’s flamboyant personality, how could she put something that symbolized her connection with Yi Zheng in a dark corner? She must see it with her own eyes every day to be happy.
Picking up the bracelet, Shi Man held it in her palm and studied it for a moment before carrying it downstairs without interest.
Shi Man was about to hand it to Butler Qi to return to the Yi family when she heard the butler remind her in a low voice, “Miss, Madam Yi is here.”
“That saves you the trouble of sending someone to run errands.” Shi Man casually held the bracelet in her hand again.
Butler Qi smiled bitterly and bowed. “Are you going to give the Yi family another gift?”
“What gift?” Shi Man frowned and glared at him unhappily. “This is their engagement token. I can return it in person.”
Hearing this, Butler Qi was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, his face instantly turned pale. He quickly chased after Shi Man and stopped her. “Miss, have you really thought it through? If you return this thing to her, you really won’t have any room to maneuver.”
“Of course, I’ve thought about it.” Shi Man looked at him strangely. “Why? Is there anything in his family that I regret?”
That was not the case.
In terms of family background, the Shi family was not inferior to the Yi family. In terms of looks, his Miss was beautiful. Naturally, she was not inferior to the Yi family in any way. It was just that his Miss had been following behind Yi Zheng for a long time. Even he had the illusion that he was superior.
Actually, the Shi family did not need to please anyone at all. Instead, they had to be fawned over by countless people.
After brushing Butler Qi off, Shi Man walked around him to the living room and saw two women chatting happily on the sofa. One of them waved at her happily and smiled. “Manman, come and meet your Auntie Lu.”
On the sofa, Lu Xiang turned around curiously and looked at Shi Man, who had changed drastically. A trace of surprise flashed across her face. She smiled and pulled her to sit beside her. “Manman is really getting more and more beautiful. My son is lucky.”
She saw the thing in Shi Man’s hand at a glance, but she did not intend to expose it at all. She thought that she must have missed Yi Zheng again and wanted to take it out to appreciate it while thinking of him.
Unexpectedly, Shi Man put the thing into her hand and said expressionlessly, “What good fortune? Our families will still be friends in the future. Yi Zheng and I won’t interfere with each other.”
“What…” Lu Xiang looked at Shen Xian hesitantly, as if she did not believe her ears.
Feeling the cold jade bracelet in her hand, Lu Xiang realized that this little girl was breaking off the engagement!
“Sigh, Xiang’er, you know that Yi Zheng doesn’t care about my Manman at all. There’s no benefit in dragging this marriage out. Why don’t we just end it?” Shen Xian was naturally speaking up for her daughter. Moreover, she had this intention long ago. It was just that the two families were too close, so she had been too embarrassed to take the initiative to mention it.
Now that Shi Man had taken the initiative to make this matter clear, she had to make her stand clear and support her daughter.
At this point, what else could Lu Xiang not understand?
She sighed and put away the bracelet. She smiled and said, “It’s Yi Zheng who doesn’t have good taste. Manman is such a beautiful child, but he was actually blind not to look at her. I really don’t know what he’s going to find in the future.”
“Yi Zheng is an outstanding child. Your daughter-in-law will definitely not be bad in the future.” Shen Xian was satisfied with Lu Xiang’s reaction. They had been good friends for decades. It was really not worth it to fall out over this matter.
Lu Xiang also knew this principle. Although the two families could not be in-laws, they could still interact. Anyway, she knew her own son very well. She really could not blame Shi Man for this.
The two of them coaxed Shi Man a little more. Seeing that her expression was normal, they were relieved and changed the topic.
A marriage was annulled while they were chatting and laughing. Shi Man walked out of the door easily. Before she could enjoy the scenery outside, a figure flashed in the corner and successfully attracted her attention.
Sean only dared to show his face when he knew that his boss had come out. Seeing that she had noticed him, he walked out from behind the wall and met her in the alley on the other side.
“Boss, I’ve found out. That group of people’s real target is actually your third brother. A few months ago, your brother reported that a small celebrity in the production team had touched drugs. The person behind this is that small celebrity’s brother. It seems that he wants to avenge the small celebrity.”
Sean’s bald head reflected light in the night. It was funny, but the seriousness of his face made it impossible to smile.
Shi Man nodded lightly and said, “Have you found that person’s address? I’ll go there personally.”
“Why don’t we take care of it?” Sean quickly suggested.
After all, this was not difficult to do. He felt bad that his boss had personally taken action.
