“You mean Yi Ming?” Shi Man had never thought that this person would pose a threat to her, but if he really stopped her as an elder, even Yi Zheng’s parents would not be able to forcefully go against his wishes.
“Yes, my parents are coordinating this with Big Grandpa. I’m also investigating how he found out about our engagement.”
Yi Zheng tightened his grip on Shi Man’s hand, afraid that it would ruin her mood from winning the competition. He coaxed her softly, “1’11 bring you to celebrate your victory first. Leave the rest to me, okay?”
Shi Man, on the other hand, did not seem to be in the mood to be affected. She frowned and thought carefully about where to start investigating this matter. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Before Uncle Yi was called to the main residence, did anyone else see your eldest grandfather?”
“I’ve checked. Big Grandpa receives different guests every day. Yi Che even went there in the morning. Do you suspect him?” Yi Zheng played with her slender fingers. The soft touch from his fingertips made him reluctant to let go-
“Before the truth is revealed, anyone is worthy of suspicion.” Shi Man opened the car window and knocked on the car door.
Tang Zhe immediately heard the commotion and looked over.
Shi Man shouted, “Get in.”
Tang Zhe hurriedly got into the car and looked at the two of them through the rearview mirror. “Master, where are we going?”
Shi Man tilted her body lazily and leaned her head on Yi Zheng’s shoulder. She closed her eyes gently. “Since you’re going to celebrate for me. Aren’t you already prepared?”
“Yes.” Yi Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. He patted her head and let her sleep on his shoulder for a while. He instructed Tang Zhe to go to the cafeteria that he had booked in advance.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Yi Zheng’s phone began to vibrate in his pocket.
After the call was picked up, Yi Long’s deep and powerful voice came from the receiver. “Son, where are you now? Are you with Manman?”
“Yes, we were just about to eat.” Yi Zheng held Shi Man’s hand that was about to pour wine and said calmly, “Dad, what happened?”
It was noisy where Yi Long was calling from. When he spoke, there was a loud echo. “Your eldest grandfather has just been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. If it’s convenient, you can come to the hospital to take a look.”
“Alright, 1 understand.” Yi Zheng hung up the phone and took a deep breath. He poured her wine with an apologetic expression. “I can’t stay with you for too long. 1 need to go to the hospital.”
“I heard you.” Shi Man took a sip of wine and put down the wine glass. She said indifferently, “Go now. 1’11 go with you.”
“I can eat with you before leaving.”
Although Yi Ming was Yi Zheng’s eldest grandfather, the two families had not been close all these years. Compared to him, Yi Zheng’s heart ached even more for Shi Man. She had just exhausted a lot of stamina, but she still had to run around with him on an empty stomach.
However, Shi Man did not care. Living in the wind and sleeping in the open was nothing to her, let alone having a late meal now.
Moreover, she was very curious why Yi Ming suddenly didn’t agree to the engagement between the two families.
The Shi family and the Yi family would only work together. There would be no drawbacks.
If he had to say that there was, then Yi Zheng’s lineage would become stronger with the support of the Shi family.
If the Old Master had come with this intention to stop the marriage between the two families, then Yi Che was probably also inseparable from this matter.
“Just make it up to me for a meal next time.” She took Yi Zheng’s hand and sat back in the car.
The two of them quickly arrived at the hospital. The surgery had just ended.
On the hospital bed, Yi Ming was wearing an oxygen mask. His narrowed eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness.
Yi Che was carefully wiping Old Master’s hands. Yi Long was standing at the side talking to him softly.
The moment Yi Zheng stepped into the ward, Old Master’s sharp gaze suddenly turned in his direction. When he saw the two of them holding hands tightly, he started to cough violently.
Shi Man let go of Yi Zheng’s hand expressionlessly and stood at the side with her arms crossed.
Only then did Old Master gradually stabilize his breathing. Panting, he pointed at Yi Zheng and said, “Get the unrelated people out first. 1 have something to tell you.”
Other than Lu Xiang, everyone in the room had the surname Yi. It was obvious who the unrelated person was.
Shi Man rolled her eyes. Seeing that he was really pale from a serious illness, she did not want to argue with an old man like him. She turned around and was about to leave the ward.
Unexpectedly, a pair of warm hands suddenly grabbed her wrist. Along the slender arm, Shi Man’s gaze landed on Yi Zheng’s firm and calm face.
“First Grandpa, Shi Man is my fiancee and not an unrelated person. If you have anything to say, you can say it in person.”
Shi Man gently retracted her arm, and Yi Zheng tightened his grip on her wrist.
Seeing that Old Master was looking at her as if he wanted to eat her, Shi Man did not want them to waste time because of her in the ward. She took the initiative to persuade Yi Zheng. “Uncle Yi and Auntie Lu must not have had dinner yet. 1’11 go buy some food back.. Let go of me first, okay?”
