THE BIG-SHOT IS PAMPERED AFTER SHE BECOMES THE VILLAINNESS

166-170

166 Strict Father

Shi Man was speechless. She snorted and turned to walk into the house.

Shi Mu had been waiting for her in the courtyard early. It was not easy for him to wait for his sister to return on an empty stomach. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Yi Zheng, who was following behind openly. He immediately frowned and said angrily, "Why are you here?"

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Man's straight back. His meaning was very obvious.

Shi Mu immediately widened his eyes in disbelief and asked in shock, "No way? Sister, were you with him just now? Didn't you say that you were going shopping with Su Tang?"

Shi Mu was aggrieved like a little wife who had been abandoned by her husband.

Shi Man couldn't stand it anymore. She shook her head and explained to him helplessly as she walked, "He insisted on following me back for a free meal. He even said that Mom had agreed. Have you heard Mom mention it?"

Shi Mu frowned and thought about it carefully. He said uncertainly, "I think she said that someone is coming to eat with us today, so we waited until now."

Seeing the faint smile on the person behind him, Shi Mu immediately said angrily, "If I had known that he was the one who's coming, I would have eaten everything!"

As soon as he pushed open the door and walked into the villa, Shi Mu couldn't help but complain, "Mom, why didn't you say that the person who came today was actually Yi Zheng? Why are we waiting for him to eat together?"

Shi Zhong looked at his wife affectionately and ate the fruit she had personally fed him. After finishing it happily, he looked up and glared at Shi Mu. "Even if Yi Zheng and Manman canceled the engagement, he's still an important guest of our family. How can you say that? You've embarrassed the Shi family."

Shi Zhong's words were harsher when he lectured his son than when he lectured Shi Man. Fortunately, Shi Mu was already used to it and completely ignored his father's words. He glared at Yi Zheng, who had taken off his coat and was sitting on the sofa. "Eat all you want. You'll choke to death in a while."

"Tsk, Xiao Mu." Shi He saw his father's darkening expression and quickly smacked his lips. He reached out and pulled him to his side. Although he didn't want to please Yi Zheng, he still forced out a good word with a fake smile on account of his father watching. "Let's eat first. Father especially got someone to make a lot of dishes according to your taste because he knew you were coming."

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Shi." Yi Zheng smiled appropriately and personally helped Shi Zhong sit at the head of the table. He sat at the next seat, opposite Shi Man.

Shen Xian sat beside Shi Zhong and smiled as she picked up food for Shi Man. "Manman must be starving. Eat more. If there's anything else you want to eat, tell the chef and ask them to cook for you now."

"Don't spoil her too much." Shi Zhong always liked to put on a stern expression in front of the children, so every time Shen Xian doted on Shi Man, he would interrupt.

Sure enough, when Shen Xian heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks unhappily and glared at him unhappily. "Our daughter was shopping outside and is only eating now. So what if I let her eat more of her favorite dishes? Do you have to fuss over such a small matter with the child? It's not like our family can't afford it!"

"That's not what I meant." Shi Zhong realized that he had accidentally said something wrong again. He couldn't care less about eating and hurriedly put down his chopsticks to apologize to Shen Xian.

Shen Xian did not want to make things too ugly in front of Yi Zheng. She could only roll her eyes and continue to pick up food for Shi Man, but no matter what Shi Zhong said, she refused to pay attention to him.
