Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yu took the initiative to toast Yi Zheng.

The two of them had never interacted before, but recently, the Yi family’s power in the capital had risen too quickly. Jiang Yu was very curious about what kind of person Yi Zheng was, so he specially sent the invitation to Yi Zheng this time.

“President Yi, I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m very happy to meet you today. I hope we can have a chance to work together in the future.”

Yi Zheng raised his glass politely. “I hope so. Welcome back.”

Sui Yan followed suit. “President Yi is young and promising. I’ve long heard of you. This must be President Yi’s fiancee, Miss Shi.”

Shi Man raised her glass expressionlessly. ‘Miss Sui, it’s our first time meeting. Please take care of me in the future.”

Sui Yan smiled and drank the glass of wine. When she put down the glass, she saw Shi Man suddenly take a step closer to her.

Just as she was about to retreat in avoidance, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her forward.

Shi Man slowly pulled her into her arms and rested her chin on her shoulder. She smiled and said, “You have to be careful of Jiang Han. He’s been looking at you.”

Sui Yan, who was about to struggle, paused and looked at Shi Man in disbelief.

She did not expect this girl, who had just met her for the first time, to be willing to remind her of this.

As if sensing her surprise, Shi Man smiled and said, “I’m sure you know better than me what kind of person Jiang Han is. I just don’t want another girl to be harmed.”

“Again?” Sui Yan frowned and asked in a low voice, “Who else was harmed by him?”

She usually didn’t pay attention to Jiang Han’s movements, but she knew very well what a ruthless man he was.

Could it be that he had harmed some girl recently?

Shi Man did not intend to answer her question. She just shrugged indifferently. “You just have to be careful.”

Sui Yan suddenly smiled and looked at Shi Man with a closer gaze. “Thank you, Miss Shi. You’re much gentler than what the rumors calimed.”

“What’s the rumored me like?” Shi Man slowly drank her wine and naturally sat side by side with Sui Yan on a chair.

The atmosphere between the two of them was like a reunion of good friends.

Jiang Yu smiled as he looked at Sui Yan’s back. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself. “Because of her identity, Sui Yan has been tense. This is the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed in such an occasion.”

Yi Zheng smiled proudly. “This is because my Manman is very popular.”

Jiang Yu looked at her for a while before chuckling. “I didn’t expect President Yi to have such a side. It’s my honor to be able to be friends with you today.”

The two men complimented each other while Shi Man and Sui Yan chatted happily.

After the banquet ended, Sui Yan even took the initiative to add Shi Man as a friend on her phone.

The friendship between girls was sometimes that simple.

Without any benefits involved, Shi Man also wanted to be good friends with Sui Yan. Unfortunately, Sui Yan liked Jiang Yu, so the two families were destined to become business competitors in the future.

The next day, Yi Zheng brought Shi Man to the Huo family.

The two of them had brought a very generous greeting gift. Tang Zhe wanted to go with them in case the President had any instructions. However, Yi Zheng did not expect Tang Zhe to bring Chen Jiao along.

Seeing that woman, Yi Zheng’s expression turned ugly. However, when he thought of what he had said previously when he decided to go along to expose her, he reluctantly gave her a good attitude.

Chen Jiao was delighted to see that Yi Zheng was not as repulsed by her as before. She looked at Shi Man with disdain.

She knew that these young ladies from aristocratic families were easy to deal with.

They thought highly of themselves and couldn’t let go of their pride to coax men, so she took advantage of them.

In fact, men needed to be coaxed the most. As long as she coaxed them with a little trick, she could get anything she wanted through their hands.

Chen Jiao had always judged that these young ladies from aristocratic families who were unwilling to humble themselves to coax men. She felt it was simply a very stupid action.

How could a man like Yi Zheng, who was rich and not short of looks, be willing to put up with a woman’s cold treatment? He would definitely like a gentle, affectionate, and coquettish woman like her more.

It seemed that she was one step closer to Shi Man being eliminated!

Thinking of this, Chen Jiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Tang Zhe looked at her curiously and patted her shoulder to remind her, “Stop laughing foolishly. Hurry up and get in the car. Don’t delay CEO Yi’s arrangements.”

Chen Jiao hurriedly said seriously, “I understand, Cousin.”

As she spoke, she reached out to open the car door and naturally sat in the front passenger seat.

Then, she realized that this car was not an extended car. Yi Zheng and Shi Man would definitely sit in the back row together. If she occupied that seat, wouldn’t Tang Zhe have nowhere to sit?

Just as she was feeling conflicted, Tang Zhe took the initiative to say, “Go sit in the car behind and be with Miss Shi. Don’t talk nonsense..”
