“Everyone.” Chief Zheng cleared his throat. He was used to attending meetings and speaking in public, but he had never felt so embarrassed.
Unfortunately, even if he was willing to put down his dignity and apologize on behalf of his daughter, it depended on whether the victim was willing to accept it.
Shi Man’s seemingly unintentional gaze swept across Zheng Xin’s tight butt line as she cringed from the unbearable pain. She smiled and said, “Uncle Zheng, these words are naturally very convincing coming from your mouth, but in order not to let such a thing happen again, I think it’s better for Zheng Xin to say it herself.”
Chief Zheng felt his body stiffen under his arm and hurriedly frowned. “You know her current situation. If you force her to say it, I’m afraid it will delay your engagement with Yi Zheng.”
The engagement ceremony that should have ended long ago had been completely delayed by Zheng Xin for half an hour.
It would probably be bad for their future if the ritual was interrupted.
The elders always had such superstitions.
This was especially so for Shen Xian, who had just relaxed and could not help but breathe again because of Chief Zheng’s words.
She deeply felt that such a commotion today would affect Shi Man and Yi Zheng’s happiness in the future. She hurriedly advised from the side, “Manman, why don’t we forget it? It’s the same if your Uncle Zheng does it.”
“Mom.” Shi Man knew what Shen Xian was worried about at a glance. She sighed helplessly and said, “If Zheng Xin doesn’t clarified this personally, it would affect Yi Zheng and me in the future. You don’t want to hear others gossip about our relationship, right?”
These words hit the nail on the head. Sure enough, Shen Xian was convinced by her. She looked at her husband uncertainly. “Old Shi, what do you think we should do now?”
Lu Xiang watched all of this coldly. Before Shi Zhong could speak, she immediately took the initiative to stand up and block Chief Zheng’s path. “I think you shouldn’t leave either. My daughter-in-law said to let your daughter clarify herself. What else do you have to protect?”
Her words made it clear that she stood on Shi Man’s side without hesitation.
Chief Zheng had a bitter expression on his face as he explained to her humbly, “Xiaoxiang, I’m not protecting my daughter. You’ve seen Xinxin’s current state. It might take a long time for her to speak up personally. There’s really no need!”
“Why not? Your daughter is a treasure, but someone else’s daughter is not?” Lu Xiang rolled her eyes at him and stood in front of him firmly with her hands on her hips. “Ask your daughter to apologize personally. Otherwise, we won’t let this matter rest!”
Shen Xian did not expect Lu Xiang to be so bold. She could not help but blush in shame. She ran to Lu Xiang’s side and blocked the door. “Yes, we can’t let this matter go just like that. Let them resolve the children’s matters themselves!”
Chief Zheng had no choice. He was stuck in a dilemma. In the end, he could only let go of his daughter and urge her to quickly take back her nonsense and stop embarrassing herself.
Zheng Xin had just recovered from this dizziness, but the pain in her butt had yet to subside. At this moment, it was a problem for her to even stand firm, but she could only maintain her dignity. She forced herself to be stubborn and said, “What 1 said just now was true! Yi Zheng was my man. Later on, he was snatched away by Shi Man!”
Chief Zheng wished he could slap her. He was so angry that his heart was pounding in his chest, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing this, Madam Zheng hurriedly helped him sit down at the side, afraid that he would collapse at this moment. When that happened, she and Xinxin would not be able to clean up the mess on their own.
On the stage, Shi Man stood on the carpet covered in red petals like the most beautiful rose among the flowers.
She looked down at the stubborn Zheng Xin and gently curled her lips. “Then tell me, when did you get together with Yi Zheng?”
“A year ago!” Zheng Xin replied weakly.
Su Tang stood up angrily and scolded, “Nonsense! A year ago, I was still placed in the Yi family by my uncle. If you’re really Brother Yi Zheng’s girlfriend, why haven’t I seen you before?”
Zheng Xin immediately curled her lips in disdain and said, “Who are you? Why would Yi Zheng tell you about our relationship? Who do you think you are?”
She rolled her eyes and mocked this weak-looking girl. However, just as she said that, she suddenly remembered the plot in the book.
Wasn’t the woman Yi Zheng officially married the orphan daughter who had been fostered in his house from the beginning?
Could this person be…
“Are you Su Tang?” Zheng Xin sized her up and did not see any denial in her eyes. She nodded in realization. “No wonder you’re so arrogant. You’re very angry that Yi Zheng married someone else today, right? After all, without Shi Man, the person he married would be you!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Su Tang was so angry that she almost cried.
What she was most afraid of was that Shi Man would continue to misunderstand her relationship with Yi Zheng. Therefore, even if Yi Zheng often came to the Shi family as a guest, she tried her best to avoid him and not interact with him..
