191 Ambiguity

Shi Zhong was also dumbfounded. He could not imagine that this kid, who usually looked like he did not get close to women, would actually watch such things behind his back.

Yi Zheng didn’t want to explain, nor could he. He could only snatch the phone and turn off the video as calmly as possible. He explained to him innocently, “Uncle Shi, this should be the virus I accidentally received when I copied the hotel video footage last night.”

“Oh.” Shi Zhong nodded absent-mindedly. It was as if he had not recovered from the shock just now. He could only take a big sip of wine awkwardly and say, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Uncle didn’t see anything. Let’s eat.”

In school, Shi Man looked at the pause signal of the video she had received on her phone and immediately laughed. She had long heard from her brother that her father was going to eat with Yi Zheng at noon. She guessed that they would play the video at that time, so she quietly unlocked the clip and placed it at the end of the video. Even if Yi Zheng turned off the video in advance and did not see the ending, she had a way to control the video remotely.

Thinking of how Yi Zheng had embarrassed himself in front of his future father-in-law, Shi Man’s appetite improved a lot. The displeasure in her heart completely disappeared.

Su Tang looked at Shi Man, who was suddenly holding her phone and laughing, in confusion. She asked worriedly, “Manman, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Shi Man shook her head, restrained her laughter, and continued to eat with her head lowered. She was extremely smug. A mere Yi Zheng actually wanted to defeat her. It was really a fool’s dream!

This time, he would suffer in silence!

In the corner of the canteen, Fang Han sat alone eating, but she kept glaring at Shi Man.

In the morning, she finally returned to class and was about to be smug with Shi Man. She did not expect Shi Man to not take her seriously in public!

She secretly cursed Shi Man in her heart. She planned to complain to Shi Yu after school when Shi Yu came to pick Shi Man up today. She would say that Shi Man did not abide by the agreement at all and let the people in school see that she, Fang Han, was not easy to bully! She wanted people to know that not even Shi Man could touch her!!

After making up her mind, she followed Shi Man sneakily after school.

Shi Man had long sensed that someone was following her. She was afraid that Fang Han did not have the guts to confront her in public. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a mocking smile. She turned her head and said to Su Tang, “There’s a good show to watch later. Are you looking forward to it?”

“What show?” Su Tang blinked curiously and asked her. Seeing the mocking smile on her lips, she suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “Is it related to Fang Han?”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise and nodded with an approving smile. “I didn’t expect you to become smart so quickly.”

Su Tang glared at her unhappily and couldn’t help but defend herself. “I’ve never been stupid.”

“Is that so?” Shi Man looked at her distrustfully and suddenly asked, “Since you’re not stupid, why did you let them bully you in the past?”

Su Tang was slightly stunned. Seeing that Shi Man indeed looked like she wanted to know the whole story, she sighed and resigned herself to fate. “In the past, I felt that I had taken everyone’s resources for nothing, so I volunteered to be the class monitor and serve the students. You know that Cassel Academy is funded by a family like the Shi family. I’m an outsider and am incompatible with everyone. If I don’t take the initiative to do something, even I will feel that I’m not worthy of studying in this school.”

Shi Man frowned and stopped in disapproval. She looked at her seriously and said, “Then what about now? Do you still think that way now?”

Su Tang frowned and thought for a while as if she was very troubled. She shook her head hesitantly and said, “The Shi family is paying to sponsor my studies now. I owe this to the Shi family, so I just have to serve the Shi family in the future.”

Shi Man was amused by her serious look. She shrugged helplessly and said, “Actually, you don’t have to think that way.”

“No!” Su Tang refuted her without thinking. “I can’t take your family’s things for nothing. Manman, although I don’t have money, I still have my own ability. I can definitely earn money in the future and repay the tuition and living expenses you paid in advance for me!”

Shi Man was about to be defeated by her confident and cute appearance. She reached out helplessly and flicked her forehead. “Stupid, what I mean is that you don’t have to serve everyone in the Shi family. Just serve me. Anyway, it’s all on me.”

“Huh?” Su Tang looked up at her in a daze, her face suddenly turning red under her especially serious gaze.

When Shi Man saw her expression, she realized that her words were too ambiguous. She hurriedly coughed awkwardly and tried to salvage the situation. “I’m saying that you just have to take care of me in the future. You don’t have to treat yourself as a slave of the entire Shi family.”

Su Tang smiled faintly and looked at her beautiful side profile. She nodded solemnly and said, “Alright, I’ll hand over the money I earn in the future to you.”
