Song Zhi nodded nervously.

A frivolous smile flashed across Chen Zongs face. He held her hand ambiguously and said, Then Ill leave this place to you for now. Ill wait for you behind.

A trace of red appeared on Song Zhis face. She hurriedly dodged his hand and nodded.

It was just time to get off work, and the bar was filled with people.

The dark world could always be a safe haven as if hiding here could enable one to temporarily forget all the troubles in the outside world.

After s.h.i.+ Man entered, she sized up her surroundings and finally fixed her gaze on the woman in the corner.

Song Zhi saw her at a glance and became nervous for no reason. She took a deep breath and stood up. She invited her to sit opposite her and stammered, I ordered some good wine and want to sit down and chat with you slowly. Is that okay?

s.h.i.+ Man raised her eyebrows slightly and watched as the waiter enthusiastically served a bottle of red wine with a moderate alcohol content. She said expressionlessly, If you have something to say, just say it.

Song Zhi pursed her lips and secretly looked elsewhere. She said hesitantly, I invited you over this time to apologize to you.

She filled s.h.i.+ Mans wine gla.s.s with her own hands with a gentle and innocent expression. I apologize for the mistake 1 made against you previously. I shouldnt have bullied you because of my brother, nor should I be jealous of you being with my brother.

s.h.i.+ Man slowly swirled the wine gla.s.s, but she did not intend to take it.

Song Zhi made up her mind and filled her cup with wine. She said respectfully, Ill call you Sister-in-law in the future. I hope you can abandon your past enmity and we can get along well.

With that, she drank it all in one gulp, her eyes filled with a strange smile.

s.h.i.+ Man slowly moved her gaze to the wine gla.s.s in her hand and smiled sarcastically. But Yi Zheng said that youre not his sister. How can you address me as Sister-in-law?

Song Zhis expression changed, but when she thought of the next plan, she held back her anger and said, Our Song family and the Yi family are considered family friends. Even if its just for benefits, its not so easy to clear the relations.h.i.+p between the two families. Therefore, no matter what, Im still his sister who grew up with him.

s.h.i.+ Man raised her eyebrows and looked at her expectant gaze. She curled her lips mockingly. Alright, since youve said so, its settled.

She met Song Zhis naked gaze and drank the wine in her gla.s.s in one gulp. There was a distant fake smile on her face. Can I leave now?

Song Zhi hurriedly picked up the wine bottle regretfully and carefully introduced it to her. This wine is very expensive. Drink it before you leave. Besides, 1 have something to ask you for help with.

Oh. s.h.i.+ Man dragged out her words slowly, looking like she believed her completely. She let her fill her gla.s.s with red wine again. Then tell me, what is it?

Song Zhi swallowed nervously and told her in detail about what happened with Lan Jie in the cafeteria that day. Then, she carefully sized up s.h.i.+ Mans expression and said, Can you help me talk to Brother Yi Zheng? This matter is really important to our Song family.

s.h.i.+ Man nodded readily. Sure, its just a message. I can promise you.

Song Zhi widened her eyes in surprise and said in disbelief, Youre really willing to help me?

Of course. s.h.i.+ Man did not hate Song Zhi. This person had targeting her in the past. However, ever since she transmigrated, the things that hurt Su Tang originated from Fang Han and s.h.i.+ Jing, so s.h.i.+ Man was quite tolerant of her.

Song Zhi did not expect her to be so easy to talk to. Instantly, the words she had prepared in her mind turned blank. She was at a loss and did not know what to say.

s.h.i.+ Man stared at her sharply. Is there anything else? If not, Ill leave first.

Song Zhis heart skipped a beat. She suddenly looked up and met her eyes in shock.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, but Song Zhi suddenly took a deep breath, her heart beating wildly in her chest.

She was hesitating if she should continue according to the plan. If she took a step forward, s.h.i.+ Man would definitely not be able to turn things around today, and she would get what she wanted.

However, s.h.i.+ Man had just made it clear that she was willing to help her. She could still achieve her goal without doing anything

Just as Song Zhi was conflicted, the waiter suddenly walked over and filled her and s.h.i.+ Mans gla.s.ses again politely. Miss, if you need any help, you can tell me.

Song Zhi suddenly looked up and saw a pill fall silently from his hand into the gla.s.s and instantly fuse with the red wine. She panicked and blurted out, Drink some more. I specially ordered it for you.

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhi wished she could bite off her tongue, but she had no chance to go back on her word because s.h.i.+ Man had already picked up her wine gla.s.s and finished it with a smile.

When Chen Zong, who was hiding in the distance, saw this scene, he was overjoyed.

That was the woman Yi Zheng had taken a fancy to. She was the high and mighty eldest daughter of the s.h.i.+ family, but she could only struggle helplessly in his hands..
