The car stopped in front of the Shi family’s manor. They did not expect someone to come to the Shi family as a guest before them.

Yi Zheng got out of the car with Shi Man and looked at Butler Qi indifferently. “Is my mother here?”

“Chairman Yi is here too.” The butler handed him the exquisitely wrapped box of snacks. “Madam Yi instructed me to bring this to you.”

“Yes, thank you.” Yi Zheng held the gift box in one hand and pulled Shi Man with the other. He turned his head and said softly, “Let’s go. It seems that Mother has already found a reason for us.”

In the living room, Lu Xiang was excitedly telling them what she had seen on this trip. Shen Xian was engrossed in it and couldn’t help but rebuke, “Why didn’t you bring me along when you went out to play? 1 haven’t gone on a trip for a long time!”

“I want to call you. Don’t some people always say that they can’t be at ease with a treasure at home?” Lu Xiang teased her with a smile.

Shen Xian pretended to be angry and glared at her. “Now that my baby has grown up and can take care of herself, I can rest assured and do something 1 like!”

Lu Xiang nodded and said, “That’s right. 1 heard that Manman got first place in the cohort again at the end of this semester? Aiyo, if Yi Zheng can really marry Manman, that will be our family’s blessing! I’m looking forward to the day I can be in-laws with you!”

Shen Xian also held her hand excitedly and said, “If the two children can really be together, this will fulfill the promise we made when we were young.”

Shi Zhong had been chatting with the two women for an hour. Now, there was an indirect tinnitus.

Yi Long saw his fatigue and picked up two cups of hot tea in amusement. He instructed, “Bring the teapot. Let’s play chess in the study.”

Shi Zhong felt as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly stood up and was about to leave when there was suddenly a commotion at the door.

Lu Xiang, who was chatting happily with Shen Xian, suddenly paused and stood up to welcome her in surprise. “Baby Manman, you’re finally back. It’s been hard on you.”

She took the snack from Yi Zheng and placed it on the coffee table as if she was presenting a treasure. “Xiaoxian, try it quickly. If it suits your taste, Yi Zheng and Manman didn’t help me make this trip for nothing.”

Yi Zheng greeted the people in the living room before naturally pulling Shi Man to sit on the sofa opposite the coffee table. “That’s right, Aunt Shen. My mother said that you should like these.”

Shi Zhong’s eyes were fixed on his daughter. His butt, which had just been raised, suddenly sank again. He snorted and sat back down. He hesitated for a long time before asking stiffly, “Are you injured?”

Shi Man shook her head gently. “No.”

Shi Zhong did not know what to say.

Initially, he planned to interrogate Shi Man and make her explain why she was kidnapped on the way and why she came home so late. However, he did not expect Lu Xiang to come and find a reason for them first, making him unable to speak.

Yi Long patted his shoulder with a smile and said leisurely, “Let’s go. Why are you sitting down again? Are you afraid of losing to me?”

“Will 1 lose to you?” Shi Zhong, who was already angry, was now completely incited by him. He carried the teapot and walked up the stairs with him Yi Long. He even said eloquently, “I’ll defeat you today.”

Lu Xiang secretly heaved a sigh of relief and continued to smile at Shen Xian. “How is it? Isn’t it delicious?”

“That’s true. Which pastry chef made this? I really want to invite him over and ask him to make a few plates for us during the new year.”

Shen Xian and her husband upstairs looked at each other. A hint of relief flashed across their eyes, and they continued to echo their best friend’s words with innocent expressions.

Actually, the two of them could already tell that something was wrong, but looking at Lu Xiang’s attitude tonight and Shi Man’s calm expression when she returned, the two of them understood everything in an unspoken mutual understanding.

Since the matter had probably been resolved, there was nothing to ask.

Although Shi Zhong had strict requirements, he was like Shen Xian in the face of right and wrong. He was willing to provide help to his children at the critical moment, but he would never interfere with their lives.

Perhaps if they took action, things would be better resolved, but if the children were unwilling, they would not be nosy parents.

As long as the two of them were still safe and sound, Shen Xian would not have so much to worry about.

The person they were most worried about now was Shi Mu.

No matter how lively the atmosphere in the living room was, it could not enter the dark room at the end.

This afternoon, Bai Xue suddenly had a stomachache. When Shi Mu arrived, she was already unconscious on the ground.

He rushed into the room and carried her to send her to the hospital, but his hand still paused slightly. An evil thought suddenly grew in the depths of his heart.

If he chose to ignore it, this child would probably not be born successfully, and it would naturally not become a burden for him when he was threatened.

He should have left her to fend for herself.

However, just as this thought arose, he extinguished it himself..
