Chapter 167 Isn’t the person beside you angry?
It's six o'clock the next morning.
Si Dai came out of the inner hall, lowered his eyes and adjusted his sleeves. He casually stepped out of the threshold with his long legs and saw the woman leaning under the wintersweet tree.
Si Ke's villa resembles an old house. The courtyard is paved with gravel, with light grass and green space, a greenhouse and flower shed. There are different flowers and trees in the four seasons, especially wintersweet in winter.
Shen Manzhi was wearing a fox fur coat, with the brim of his hat hanging between his eyebrows, and a silver hairpin in his hand. Behind him, there was a wild cat lying on the branch of an old wintersweet tree.
The person following Si Dai took a step closer and said, "Miss Shen arrived half an hour ago."
Si Ke passed his palm across the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
"Is something wrong?"
Shen Manzhi tilted his head, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.
"Ji Xiaoqing, what are you going to do, sir?"
She never likes to mince words when talking to him, because Si Dai is too unpredictable and unpredictable. It is better to get to the point directly, otherwise it will be too troublesome.
"I didn't see the results you wanted to give me yesterday."
Si Ke was usually not one to smile, and his bland expression and Buddhist attitude always made people easy to let their guard down, but in fact, he had everything under control for a long time.
Shen Manzhi straightened up, startling the wild cat on the tree, and ran down the tree trunk into the darkness.
"Ji Xiaoqing is not the culprit. There is no use in dealing with her."
Si Dai took off the ring in his hand and handed it to the person next to him, "When did you learn to be soft-hearted?"
"Let's talk about the matter. No matter how tearful Ji Xiaoqing's apology is, it can't cover up her stupidity for being just a target."
Shen Manzhi put down the brim of his hat, and his unpainted face looked even more deserted.
Si Ke knew what she meant and saw her inserting a silver hairpin into a bun. Perhaps she had stood in the cold wind for a long time, and her fair skin was tinged with pink.
"Your young master friend's so-called Lantern Festival Peking Opera premiere was just used by the Chi family as a springboard to send him into the entertainment industry. You participated in the performance out of favor, but you were deeply involved in the scandal. Although the Xu family is not as good as the upper class, but The Chi family is not willing to do anything detrimental to their own interests for you."
Harsh words, but the truth.
Shen Manzhi raised his eyebrows lightly, "First of all, I am not participating in the show out of favor, just out of interest."
She changed the topic and said, "Secondly, the relationship between me and that person from the Xu family is personal, and I will handle it myself."
And that's what she told Chi Mu, just let him take care of Ji Xiaoqing and clarify the scandal, leaving Xu Qiu to her.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xiaoqing accepted them all silently and admitted that she was resentful because she was replaced by Shen Manzhi two years ago. She found someone to follow her and took those so-called scandal photos with many people of the opposite sex. She sincerely apologized and asked for forgiveness. .
But does this mean that Shen Manzhi has indeed had contact with many members of the opposite sex?
Therefore, the clarification statement quickly became a hot search topic, and the scandal of "The protagonist of the Lantern Festival premiere shows mercy?" is still in the top three of the city's rankings.
Si Dai finally showed a playful smile in his eyes, looking into her indifferent eyes, "Do you want to fight against the Xu family on your own?"
"This is my business."
It’s not surprising that Si Ji said this. After all, the current leaders of the Xu family are her two brothers. I heard that they are serious sister-controllers. If she wants to subdue Xu Qiu, is she going to deal with the Xu family together?
She didn't say yes or no.
"Sir, there is no need to get into trouble because of Ji Xiaoqing. The scandal is not just about me."
Si Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. Shen Manzhi continued, "Ji Xiaoqing used the same method to ruin my reputation two years ago, but the evidence was insufficient and it didn't cause any splash.
But this time, most of the photos uploaded on the Internet are from the years when I was studying in Beijing, including you, sir. Last night in the parking lot of Chang'an Mansion, a candid photographer escaped and left behind his mobile phone. The photos in the album can be traced back to three years ago. The ones that appeared most often in the photos were me and you. "
There was a white edge on the sky. If Shen Manzhi hadn't come this time, Si Dai would have been on his way down the mountain.
"So you think someone is trying to target me in this matter?"
Shen Manzhi was silent for a few seconds, looking at him silently.
"With Ji Xiaoqing's abilities, she might have been able to take a picture of me and you in the same frame two years ago, but now it's revealed, it's definitely not something she can do.
As for the person who secretly took the photo, didn’t he drop his cell phone with important photos just so that I could see that he and you had had close interactions before?”
"Your nominal bedfellow came to see you yesterday?"
Shen Manzhi's expression was slightly condensed. She didn't mention Qin Yanfeng at all. How could Si Ji guess it?
"What do you mean, sir?"
Si Ji did not answer, but said slowly, "Otherwise, why did you say that it was me and you who had a close relationship?"
He even added an accent, giving it a slightly more informal flavor.
Shen Manzhi remembered what his master had said last night, that Si Ji valued only love.
But now that he singled out this sentence to make fun of him, Shen Man knew that there was some kind of joke in his words.
Seeming to see the hesitation in Shen Manzhi's eyes, Si Dai did not go around the corner, "That man deliberately dropped his cell phone. The album is full of intimate photos of you and the opposite sex in the past. Isn't your pillow person angry?"
angry?
Shen Manzhi remembered what Qin Yanfeng had done in the parking lot last night when she looked at the photos and asked herself, "Am I heartless?"
She was questioning whether he had arranged the candid photo.
So, even if you didn't say anything after getting in the car, it was because you were angry all the time?
Shen Manzhi raised his eyes calmly, "That's too far away, sir.
Talking back to the photo, when I came to the capital, I had not made any enmity with anyone yet, and you were always careful when traveling. There would be no suspicious people around you, and no one would dare to label you.
Since the other party was able to take those photos of us in the same frame, he must have come prepared. Sir, you might as well think about who dares to bring you into this muddy water. "
The corners of Si Dai's lips twitched slightly, "Did you pass the pot to me?"
Could it be that her words were because he had too many enemies, which led to a scandal that was fabricated out of thin air with insufficient evidence. Because of the people behind it, it remained high on the hot search list in the city?
Shen Manzhi said calmly, "I don't dare."
Si Ji held the Buddhist beads in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "What conflict does this have with me dealing with that woman?"
She knew that Si Ji must have known what Shen Manzhi said. He was willing to go down the mountain to deal with an inconspicuous "chess piece" in person just because he wanted to know who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
The reason why Si Ke is feared is his personal way of dealing with people.
Linjiang runs in his hands, walking between black and white. In recent years, he has gradually moved towards the bright side, such as helping the superiors deal with the high-level affairs of Huaicheng last month.
He usually arranges for the people below to do most of the work, rarely doing it himself.
He likes to be quiet, often lives in the mountains, chants sutras and worships Buddha, like a devout believer, with a dull nature.
This time he went to war probably because he had touched the bottom line of his "love".
Shen Manzhi's thoughts wandered for a second.
Si Yi was twenty-eight years old. He had seen the darkest abyss and been exposed to endless temptations. How could he resist the primitive nature of man?
There is another chapter to be updated in the morning
