Chu Yue was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what she meant for a moment. She muttered, “Yi Zheng is your fiance since you were young. How can you not like him?”

Wen Xiu looked at Shi Man guiltily and turned her head away. She said in a muffled voice, “That was in the past. He already has a fiancee now. I don’t like him anymore.”

Chu Yue inexplicably smelled some regret. She did not give up and continued to ask, “Is it because Shi Man took your position? If not for Shi Man, you would have been officially engaged to Yi Zheng long ago!”

Wen Xiu frowned and thought seriously for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, “No, I was only bound by the engagement previously, so I didn’t investigate my heart in detail. But actually, my feelings for Yi Zheng aren’t that kind of love.”

“Miss Wen…” Tang Zhe looked down at her pale face and suddenly understood her true thoughts.

But now that something like this had happened to the Shi family’s Third Young Master, he probably wouldn’t be able to accept her feelings for the time being…

Shi Man also frowned and looked at Wen Xiu. She looked down slightly and saw the blood seeping out of her abdomen. Her pupils constricted as she hurriedly said, “Quick, send her to the prepared room. Don’t waste time here!”

How could Chu Yue let her leave just like that?

The trap she had worked so hard to set up could not be broken just like that!

The media reporters also looked at them eagerly. There was no news yet. How could they leave just like that?

They looked at Chu Yue for help.

Chu Yue gritted her teeth and said, “Miss Wen, 1 said that 1 would stand up for you. Tell me who you really like. If you like Yi Zheng, then Shi Man stole from you. I won’t let her off.”

Wen Xiu had never seen anyone more difficult to deal with than her. Her anger couldn’t help but rise. She endured it again and again, but she couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it, can’t you see that I’m about to die? What does it have to do with you who I like? If you’re so capable, why don’t you let Shi He like me? Why should he like Lin Yue?”

As soon as she said this, the surrounding people gasped.

The entire banquet instantly fell silent, leaving only the continuous clicking of cameras.

Only then did Wen Xiu realize what she had just said. She glanced at Shi Man in panic and quickly blushed. There was finally some color in her pale face. “Don’t misunderstand. It was a slip of the tongue. I don’t like your brother that way.”

Her stammering was the complete opposite of her aggressive appearance just now. It was very unconvincing.

Shi Man smiled helplessly.

Did she think that others could not tell what she was thinking?

From the moment she used her as an excuse to wait outside the house every day, Shi Man already knew her feelings for Shi He.

Chu Yue did not expect things to develop to this extent.

The happiest people were the media present. Mr Yi’s ex-fiancee liked Miss Shi’s biological brother. If this news was released, it would definitely be hotly discussed online for a period of time!

It seemed that the Internet would not be too lonely from now on!

“Instructor Chu.” Only then did Shi Man stand up and speak. Under the flashing lights, her expression became even colder, making one’s heart palpitate.

“What are you doing?” Chu Yue felt inexplicably guilty, but when she thought about how there were still so many people watching, she could not lose face. She gathered her momentum and confronted Shi Man again.

Shi Man rolled her eyes at her and said, “Move.”

That’s all?

Chu Yue was surprised for a moment. She blinked and looked back at her in confusion. “You… you knew that Yi Zheng had a fiancee in the past?”

At this moment, no matter how slow her reaction was, she had already understood.

She could only blame herself for being too stupid. Ever since Wen Xiu appeared, from Shi Man’s reactions, it was enough to tell that the two of them had actually known each other for a long time.

“Yes.” Shi Man quickly confirmed her thoughts, and there was a hint of mockery in her beautiful eyes. “Before you made a big deal out of this, Wen Xiu had already made a fuss. She now understands what she wants, but you still don’t seem to understand.”

Chu Yue was slightly stunned. She looked up at her in a daze. “What don’t I know?”

“You don’t understand the meaning of your current position. What do you take the position of a military instructor for? What do the soldiers training under you take you for? Come and find me when you understand these things.”

“You…” Chu Yue watched her and Tang Zhe leave in a daze. The unwillingness in her heart suddenly swelled to the extreme. She couldn’t help but shout at Shi Man, “She’s the woman who was engaged to Yi Zheng first. 1 don’t believe that you don’t mind at all!”

Shi Man stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around. She only tilted her head slightly and glanced at her with cold eyes. “Don’t think of everyone else as you. Today’s matter is not over. I’ll settle Wen Xiu first before settling the score with you..”
