The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness Chapter 128 Avoid Meeting

128 Avoid Meeting

Shen Xian lowered the volume of the television drama awkwardly and coaxed softly, “Hubby, I miss you so much. When are you coming back?”

s.h.i.+ Zhong sighed and replied, “It’ll be a few days. It’s been hard on you to stay at home alone with the children.”

“It’s not hard. By the way, s.h.i.+ Man got first place in the cohort this time. When you come back, let’s do a celebration for her,” Shen Xian said as she stared at the television screen, afraid that she would miss something.

s.h.i.+ Zhong nodded and said, “I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

He was silent for a moment. Knowing that his wife was busy watching television, he cut the conversation short. “Did Yi Zheng go to our house today?”

“That’s right. It was raining heavily, but he came. I was shocked and asked him to eat dinner before leaving.” Shen Xian shared her doubts with s.h.i.+ Zhong in confusion.

s.h.i.+ Zhong listened quietly and then smiled coldly. “I don’t quite understand what Yi Zheng is after, but don’t worry. Manman is also my daughter. I will dote on her. Let them interact less for the time being. I’ll ask this kid personally when I go back.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” Shen Xian was very reliant on s.h.i.+ Zhong. Hearing him say this, she did not doubt him and trusted him to handle all the difficult matters.

Seeing that the opening theme song was about to end, Shen Xian smiled and couldn’t help but urge, “I’ll hang up first. My son’s television drama is about to start. I can’t miss any details.”

“Then you have to remember to sleep early.” After s.h.i.+ Zhong instructed her worriedly, he heard his wife hang up the phone. He shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt, unb.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

The next day, s.h.i.+ Man had to drive to school alone as usual. However, before she left, she was suddenly stopped by Shen Xian. She grabbed her youngest son, who was stuffing bread into his mouth, and pushed him to s.h.i.+ Man’s side. She took the initiative to suggest, “Let your brother send you to school in the future. It’s on the way for the two of you anyway.”

s.h.i.+ Mu widened his eyes and looked at Shen Xian in surprise. He couldn’t help but nod repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. “Mom is right. Sister, go to school with Brother in the future. Why do you have to drive yourself?!”

s.h.i.+ Man looked at Shen Xian strangely. Although she was puzzled, she agreed obediently. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Shen Xian immediately smiled comfortably and watched the two of them get into the car before walking back to the villa in relief.

Last night, her husband had personally instructed her to try her best to stop the two of them from meeting before finding out Yi Zheng’s true motive. Just in case, she pushed s.h.i.+ Mu out as an excuse. She was mainly afraid that Yi Zheng would stop s.h.i.+ Man halfway and insist on seeing her precious daughter.

However, after she arranged this, she shook her head and smiled helplessly as she sat on the sofa.

She belatedly felt that what she did was completely unnecessary. With Yi Zheng’s temperament and ambition, he should not take up time at work and specially come to see s.h.i.+ Man.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. This morning, Yi Zheng really waited at the school gate just to meet s.h.i.+ Man.

After seeing her and s.h.i.+ Mu get out of the car together, Yi Zheng, who was sitting in the backseat, frowned slightly. He opened the car door and got out of the car. He b.u.t.toned his suit jacket with his right hand. He slowly walked up to the two of them and stood still. He said dryly, “Morning.”

“Morning. What’s the matter?” s.h.i.+ Man raised her eyebrows and asked bluntly.

s.h.i.+ Mu s.h.i.+elded his sister behind him as if he was facing a great enemy.

Yi Zheng walked past s.h.i.+ Mu and fixed his eyes on s.h.i.+ Man. He said calmly, “Today is Ca.s.sel Academy’s anniversary. As a graduate, I was invited back by the princ.i.p.al to give a speech.”

“So?” s.h.i.+ Man frowned at him in confusion. What did what he said have to do with her?

Yi Zheng pursed his lips and said calmly, “Can I invite you to lunch with me? I’ve booked a place in the best hotel in the city. Your brother can come along.”

s.h.i.+ Man glanced at s.h.i.+ Mu and saw her brother’s exasperated expression. She couldn’t help but smile. “Forget it. I’m afraid my brother will want to eat you even more.”

With that, she pulled s.h.i.+ Mu into the school without looking back and ignored the man who was abandoned.

s.h.i.+ Mu held his sister’s hand excitedly and grinned. “Sister, you did very well just now. We don’t lack that mouthful of food, so we don’t have to go with him. Brother will pick you up at the entrance of your cla.s.s at noon and bring you to eat delicious food.”

“Alright.” s.h.i.+ Man nodded in agreement. Then, she suddenly retracted her hand and spread her hands at him. “Where’s the umbrella?”

s.h.i.+ Mu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly took out the umbrella from his backpack and placed it in her hand. He asked curiously, “Whose umbrella is this? Are you going to return it to its owner?”

“Yes.” s.h.i.+ Man nodded lightly.

She wasn’t deliberately hiding that person’s name, but she suddenly couldn’t remember his name, so she didn’t say anything and returned to her cla.s.s with the umbrella.
