Shi Man glanced at him from the corner of her eye and did not answer. Instead, she turned around and checked Shen Xian up and down before holding her hand and helping her sit down on the sofa.

Chu Yue was shocked by her actions just now. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. “My teacher is talking to you. Didn’t you hear him?”

As Shi Man turned her head slightly, her eyes emitted a terrifying light.

Chu Yue took a step back for no reason. When she reacted, the sharp light had already disappeared.

Lu Jun glanced at Chu Yue, who was taking a step back, indifferently. His expression softened, and the hostility in his eyes when he looked at Shi Man was gone. “Young lady, come here.”

Not only did Shi Man not listen to him, but she also sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. “There’s no need. Let’s talk here.”

Shi Zhong was shocked by the scene just now. When he came back to his senses, he was angry. “Leader, this is the first time our Shi family has not treated you well. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, you can bring it up. However, I’m afraid it’s not right to use a dagger, right?”

“CEO Shi, you’ve misunderstood.” The man who had been silent suddenly interrupted Shi Zhong’s question and smiled. “My sister has liked such weapons since she was young. She can’t help but share them with the person she likes. In fact, she doesn’t have any ill intentions.”

No malice, his ass! Shi Mu was already angry with Chu Yue’s actions just now. Now that he heard her twist the truth and say that she was sharing a toy with the person she liked, he couldn’t help but sneer. “The leader’s preferences are really extraordinary. Is this how you do things in the capital?”

“Shi Mu!” Shi Zhong scolded him coldly, but there was no anger in his eyes. It was obvious that he agreed with his son’s words. However, as the head of the Shi family, it was not appropriate for him to fall out with the leader.

Chu Yue took a step forward and stood in front of Shi Man. She pointed at her provocatively and said, “Come out and fight me. If you can beat me, I’ll agree to cooperate with you.”

Shi Man looked up at her steadily and said with a faint smile, “It’s not up to you.”

“You!” Chu Yue was furious. She placed her hands on her hips and burned with jealousy. “I asked you to fight me, so you have to fight me. Don’t you want your family’s business anymore?”

Of course, she wanted the business.

Shi Man looked away and skipped past her gaze to look straight at Lu Jun. “Chief Lu, what do you think?”

Chu Yue still had her hands on her hips as she glared at Shi Man arrogantly. She had no intention of turning around to discuss it with Lu Jun. It was as if she had expected Lu Jun to agree.

She was so confident not only because of Lu Jun’s indulgence of her but also because she had long seen through Lu Jun’s interest in Shi Man’s skills.

Perhaps her actions were more to Lu Jun’s liking!

When she pressed Shi Man to the ground and hit her, the Shi family’s reputation would be trampled on by them. At that time, the teacher would naturally be able to vent his anger for not being able to see his niece’s family as he wished!

However, of course, Lu Jun would not agree directly. He had to put on a helpless act. Otherwise, if this matter spread in the future, outsiders would say that he was bullying others.

The man sitting at the side said at the right time, “Teacher, Sister is used to fooling around. Don’t be angry with her. But speaking of which, I’m afraid there aren’t many people who can interest Yue’er so much. 1 really want to see the two young ladies compete.”

Lu Jun pondered for a moment and still did not open his mouth. Instead, he calmly turned his gaze to Shi Zhong.

The man immediately understood and looked at Shi Zhong with a smile. “CEO Shi might not know my sister’s temper very well. She doesn’t have any ill intentions and won’t bully Miss Shi. She just has a childish temper. She only said this because she thinks highly of Miss Shi.”

His words politely supported the Shi family. If Shi Man did not agree, she would be deemed disrespectful.

Shi Zhong frowned and looked up at Shi Man, wanting her to make a decision herself.

They had seen Chu Yue throw the dagger clearly just now. Her reputation as the famous demonic female instructor was definitely not undeserved.

Although Shi Man’s performance at the engagement party surprised him, she was not Chu Yue’s match at all.

He could not make a decision for Shi Man, but as her father, as long as Shi Man showed a trace of unwillingness, he would reject at all costs.

As Shi Man’s eldest brother, Shi Ke naturally did not want his sister to be sandwiched in the middle. Just as he was about to reject on her behalf, Shi Man spoke first and stopped him.

“I can fight, but 1 have to make things clear first. If 1 win, no matter what happens in G City or the capital in the future, you can only leave the business to our Shi family for the next five years. You can’t let any other family interfere, including the Lin family..”
