The butler handed her the hot water bag that he had prepared long ago and poured her a cup of steaming milk tea. His eyes were filled with smiles as he said, “Miss, did things go smoothly with Young Master Shi today?”

“Don’t mention it.” Bai Yao looked away in frustration and saw the familiar car that had just driven away. She gritted her teeth and said, “1 don’t know what’s wrong with Shi Man. She keeps ruining my plans. Shi Mu is her brother! She actually wants to interfere in everything!”

The butler hurriedly comforted her with a smile. “It’s normal for siblings to be petty in the face of life. Why don’t you follow Master’s instructions and build a good relationship with Miss Shi first?”

Bai Yao’s expression turned even worse when she mentioned this. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Stop talking. At that time, Shi Man didn’t like me at all! Oh, right, did she discover everything we did in the past?”

The butler was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said, “I don’t think so. You’ve seen how the Shi family has targeted the Fang family recently. If she really has any concrete evidence, I’m afraid her methods won’t be so gentle. 1 think she just can’t bear to part with her brother.”

Bai Yao took the milk tea with a worried expression and took a sip. Only then did she recover a little. “Alright, I’ll try my best to get close to Shi Man next time and strive to complete the mission Father gave me as soon as possible.”

The butler nodded with a gratified expression and smiled. “That’s right. Master said that if you succeed this time, our family’s future will not be a problem!”

“Tell Father that I’ll do my best.” Bai Yao sighed softly. When she thought of Shi Mu, there was still a trace of a smile in her eyes. However, when she thought of the man in her heart, her face instantly turned pale.

Outside the manor, Shi Mu got out of the car and opened the door for Shi Man. He leaned close to his sister and said fawningly, “Manman, were you angry just now? I really didn’t mean to not pick you up, but…”

“You were just suddenly tripped by someone and can’t go, right?” Shi Man narrowed her eyes mischievously, and the smile on her lips was colder than frost.

Shi Mu was slightly stunned and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake. “I’m sorry, Sister. Don’t be angry with Brother. If you don’t like Bai Yao, I won’t see her in the future.”

Shi Man looked expressionlessly at her brother, who was always good to her unconditionally. She sighed softly and said, “Alright, I have something to tell you, but not here. Let’s go in first. Su Tang isn’t in good health. She’ll freeze later.”

“Oh, right!” Shi Mu pushed Su Tang and Shi Man through the door apologetically. He quickly changed his shoes and took the initiative to pour hot tea for the two of them. Then, he sat obediently on the sofa and waited for his sister to lecture him.

Shi Man did not want to reprimand him, but Bai Yao’s personality was too complicated.

After Fang Han’s incident, she and Yi Zheng had been investigating the person behind it, but they had found nothing. Even she suspected that there was a mistake in their analysis at that time. This matter might have been completely planned by the Fang family from the beginning.

However, not long ago, Shi Man happened to hear something.

A long time ago, Yi Zheng went to a banquet. At that time, a girl accidentally spilled red wine and dirtied his clothes. However, because he did not care at all and the two of them were not familiar at that time, he did not mention this to Shi Man after that.

It was only when she heard Tang Zhe mention it in Yi Zheng’s company that she knew that the girl was actually Bai Yao. However, what was even more coincidental was that Shi Jing was also on the list of that banquet. However, she had never been discovered as a waiter.

Now that she thought about it carefully, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Bai Yao and Shi Jing were classmates to begin with, and they had appeared at the banquet together. Shi Man reasonably suspected that the accidental dirtying of Yi Zheng’s clothes was a trap set up by the two of them.

This could indirectly prove that Bai Yao and Shi Jing were not unrelated. If that was the case, then she had to wonder if the mastermind of the incident with the Fang family was Bai Yao.

1 lowever, the difficulty now was that it had been too long. The evidence would have already disappeared, and even the road surveillance cameras had been replaced. It was simply difficult to investigate that matter again.

So all they had to do now was wait for the right moment.

During this period of time, Bai Yao had come into contact with Shi Mu many times. She must have an impure motive. Shi Man wanted to use Shi Mu to fish. That way, it would be easier for Bai Yao to reveal her true motive. However, the key to the problem was that Shi Mu must not be tempted by Bai Yao.

Otherwise, such a girl with ulterior motives was destined to make Shi Mu sad.

If Shi Mu could not control his heart, Man would not let the two of them interact anymore. She could not do anything to hurt her brother for her own purposes.

She told Shi Mu about the doubts she and Yi Zheng had and let him decide how to face Bai Yao.

Shi Mu listened quietly, his expression turning from shock to calm. After a long time, he nodded hoarsely and said, “I understand, Sister. I won’t like her. I’m willing to help you find the truth..”
