“What did you say?” No matter how afraid Mrs. Chen was of the Shi family, she still felt embarrassed to listen to the little girl tease her in front of so many people. Her face turned from pale to green and finally revealed a blush of embarrassment and anger.
Secretary Song also looked troubled. Although Mrs. Chen and the others took advantage of the majority to bully Shi Man with numbers, Mrs. Chen was still Madam’s good friend. Madam would definitely not be willing to slap Mrs. Chen in public.
She could only use Mrs. Lin to help Mrs. Chen out. “Miss Shi, after this matter, 1 believe the Chen family and the Zhuo family will apologize to you sincerely. The gala is about to begin. My Madam is still waiting to see you. Why don’t 1 bring you over now and you can have a good chat with Mrs. Lin?”
Mrs. Lin didn’t even know that she was here today, so why would she want to see her?
Secretary Song was just reminding Shi Man of the relationship between Mrs. Chen and the Lin family. Unfortunately, Shi Man had heard Mrs. Chen repeat the relationship between these two families many times, so there was nothing new about it now.
Shi Man still tilted her head expressionlessly and said, “Just now, Mrs. Chen asked me to kneel down and apologize to her. Now that 1 asked her to punish herself with a slap, it shouldn’t be making things difficult for her, right?”
“But you didn’t kneel!” Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she was about to stomp her feet, but she couldn’t do anything to the Shi family.
Previously, her daughter, Chen Min, had offended Shi Man at the Yi family’s Lu Xiang’s birthday banquet. Now that she thought of Shi Man’s question at the beginning, she realized that this wretched girl had recognized her long ago. She had not said anything because she was waiting for her to dig a pit for her to jump into.
She was really bad to the bone! To think that the eligible Yi Zheng actually liked such a vicious woman. He was really blind!
“Are you slapping or not?” Shi Man’s tone rose as she admired the exciting expressions on their faces happily.
Secretary Song wanted to persuade her again, but after being glared at by Shi Man, she was immediately suppressed by her aura. She, who had always been sharp-tongued, was actually stunned and speechless.
Seeing that Secretary Song couldn’t protect her, Mrs. Chen could only grit her teeth and nod with a red face. “Alright, I’ll do it.”
“Mrs. Chen…” Mrs. Zhuo looked at her in shock. With this slap, Mrs. Chen would not have the face to continue living in this circle in the future!
However, at this point, even if Mrs. Chen resisted, Shi Man would not let them off.
The crisp sound of a slap suddenly sounded, and the changing room was silent.
Mrs. Zhuo looked at the bright red palm print on her face in a daze. She looked at Shi Man resentfully, gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and slapped herself hard.
Only then did Shi Man retract her gaze in satisfaction and look at Secretary Song calmly. “Did you say that Yi Zheng was waiting for me outside?”
Secretary Song didn’t even dare to breathe. She was caught off guard by her question and couldn’t help but shiver. “Yes, President Yi is waiting for you on the sofa outside.”
“Alright, I’ll go over now. You guys clean up here yourselves.” She smiled and looked at them one last time. Her gaze lightly swept across the white-robed girl at the end, then she walked away proudly.
In the corridor, Yi Zheng was already a little anxious from waiting, but as a man, it was not good for him to be too near to the female changing room. Just as he was about to get someone to help him go in and take a look, he saw Shi Man walk out with a smile.
Yi Zheng was slightly stunned and quickly walked up to her. “Why are you only coming out now? Did something happen inside?”
“I just watched a big show,” Shi Man replied with a smile.
“What show?” He turned his head and noticed the women who had their heads lowered behind him. He frowned in confusion.
“Nothing.” Shi Man did not intend to tell him in detail. She tugged at the hem of her dress and changed the topic with a smile. “I like this dress very much. The designer’s name is Jason? I want to ask him to design a few more clothes for me.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows in amusement. “How do you know it’s his? If you like it, I’ll get Tang Zhe to contact him later and ask him to make a few more pieces according to your style.”
“Alright, but there’s no need for too many. 1 have my own designer.” When Shi Man thought of Su Tang, the sharpness in her eyes turned into gentleness like the spring breeze.
Yi Zheng saw this and suddenly smelled danger. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did Su Tang cause you trouble at your place?”
“No, she’s very obedient. Why? Are you worried about her?” Shi Man asked meaningfully.
If the male protagonist realized his love for the female protagonist at this moment, she could bear the pain and give up her love to fulfill the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zheng only smiled frivolously. The deep love in his eyes seemed to only be able to accommodate her. “Why would 1 be worried about her? I’m concerned about you, silly..”
