Lu Li’s gaze naturally followed his words to Shi Man. Before he could speak, the man who had been standing beside Shi Man suddenly flashed and stood in front of her.

Lu Li lowered his eyes and saw the two of them holding hands tightly. His eyes turned cold and a trace of displeasure flashed across them, but he quickly regained his bright smile. “This should be President Yi. President Yi is famous. I’ve always wanted to see him personally.”

He shook Yi Zheng’s hand politely, but his eyes were fixed in Shi Man’s direction. He smiled and said, “Miss Shi is indeed the daughter of the richest man. It’s rare for my grandfather to value someone so much. Moreover, the person he values is a girl. It seems that there are many things I need to learn from Miss Shi. Please guide me in the future.”

Shi Man nodded coldly and did not say anything else.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He turned his attention to Shi Mu and naturally exchanged pleasantries.

There was no danger in Lu Li, but Shi Man had already investigated before she came. He was a young officer who had followed his grandfather into the army when he was young and carried out many tight missions. His strength could not be underestimated.

However, his performance today was like that of a smooth businessman. It was completely different from what she had heard.

Shi Man couldn’t help but look at him.

A fiery gaze beside her suddenly became burning. Shi Man retracted her gaze helplessly and turned to look at the unfriendly man beside her. She leaned closer and coaxed in a low voice, “You don’t have to be jealous just because I took a few more glances at someone, right? Am I the kind of person who changes her mind?”

Yi Zheng snorted and turned away, ignoring her. He tightened his grip on her hand again, wishing he could crush her and rub her into his bones so that she could never look at other men again.

Lu Li invited the group to the car. The Lu family even sent a special driver to send them back to the Shi family’s manor in the capital.

Shi Zhong was considerate. A few days ago, when they decided to leave G City, he had already sent someone here to clean the rooms in advance.

Yi Zheng took this opportunity to live next to Shi Man openly.

Shi Zhong did not say anything after seeing this. He just frowned and let him be.

He had traveled thousands of miles just to accompany his daughter and put down his family business to come to the capital. How could he not even let her stay in a room?

Anyway, they were only staying next door to each other and not in the same room. He could just get someone to keep an eye on them.

As soon as the Shi family settled down, Lu Li came to visit personally. He brought a group of servants and nannies. After instructing them to help pack, he sat in the living room and drank tea with Shi Zhong and Shen Xian.

Before leaving, Lu Xiang and Shen Xian squeezed in the same room and chatted privately for the entire night. The two of them had married into G City from M City together and had never been separated since they were young. This time, she had gone far to the capital and did not even have a friend to talk to. Naturally, she felt lonely and sad.

Lu Li seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. He chatted with her warmly and said with a smile, “Aunt Shen, you don’t know yet, right? My mother has actually always wanted to get to know you. Tonight, the Lu family will hold a welcome banquet. I specially came to invite Uncle and Auntie to partic.i.p.ate. Auntie will definitely get along well with my mother.”

“Sure.” Shen Xian nodded without a smile.

The Lu family had personally sent their eldest grandson to invite them. Even if they were unwilling, they had to go.

When they arrived in the capital, the originally high and mighty Shi family actually seemed to be living under someone else’s roof.

Shi Man stood above the stairs and looked coldly at the scene downstairs.

Lu Li seemed to have sensed something and looked up at her. The smile in his eyes was deep, and there was no malice.

Shi Man looked away coldly and slowly walked down the stairs. “Mom, when we took the plane today, you said that you weren’t feeling well. Why don’t you let Dad accompany you to your room to rest for a while now?”

Shen Xian glanced at Lu Li awkwardly, her meaning very obvious.

He was still sitting here. How could she go back to her room to sleep with her husband?

However, Shi Man did not ask Shen Xian to follow her to make her suffer.

She had always been protective. At this moment, she saw the worry in Shen Xian’s eyes and did not take it to heart. Instead, she turned to Lu Li expressionlessly and opened her thin lips. Her voice was so cold that the temperature in the room dropped. “Young Master Lu, my mother is not in good health and needs to rest. You won’t mind, right?”

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, as if he had never seen a girl like Shi Man who did not take him to heart. He nodded in a daze and said, “Of course not. 1 came too suddenly and disturbed Uncle and Auntie’s rest. 1’11 leave first.”

“Yes, 1 won’t send you off.” Shi Man never smiled at him.

After he left, Shi Man personally bent down to help Shen Xian up. Shi Man sighed with heartache. “Mom, it’ll be the same here as in G City in the future. You don’t have to worry so much.”

“How can it be the same?” Shen Xian shook her head helplessly. “The Lu family is powerful and this is their territory.. How can we be as at ease as in G City?”
