Si Lianghua smiled and continued to say the same thing as last time.

“It’s an honor,” he said.

Although Lin Man knew that what he said was just polite talk, she was still touched in her heart. She had been stood up on a rainy day and waited foolishly, getting wet all night, and was also kicked out of a car on a sparsely populated mountain road without saying a word.

She was left behind by the Pei family, who all regarded her as an enemy, and walked back alone. It was the first time someone told her that it was an honor.

Lin Man walked into the venue holding Si Lianghua's arm. Where the crowd gathered, she saw the figure surrounded in the center and felt it was very familiar.

Until she saw Ji Ze and Zheng Xu, Lin Man subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave!

Si Lianghua smiled and waved to Pei Yan, "Brother."

Lin Man watched Pei Yan walk towards them, passing through the crowd of figures, holding a wine glass. Her heart almost stopped. She wanted to turn around and leave, but Pei Yan had already walked up to her and patted Si Lianghua on the shoulder.

"Won't you introduce me to you?"

His voice was low and playful, but Lin Man could hear a hint of coldness in it.

Ji Ze looked at the scene meaningfully but did not say anything.

Zheng Xu stared in shock, "Brother Yan, what's going on! The female companion Lianghua said he would bring to us is his sister-in-law!"

Hearing Zheng Xu's words, Lin Man wanted to punch him. When had he ever acknowledged her identity, and even called her sister-in-law!

Si Lianghua stood there in a daze for a moment, but as smart as he was, how could he not understand the hidden meaning?

His voice was a little dry. He opened his mouth and took a long time to find his voice.

"Manman, you are..."

She...is his sister-in-law?

Bitterness filled my mouth and my heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand.

Lin Man was a little helpless. She didn't know how to start. If she had known that Pei Yan and Si Lianghua had this relationship, she would never have had any contact with Si Lianghua!

She couldn't avoid the people of the Pei family, but why did Si Lianghua call Pei Yan brother? His last name is Si!

"Mr. Si, I..." Lin Man closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She wanted to explain, but a hand appeared on her waist and pulled her into an embrace filled with the scent of mint and tobacco.

"Lianghua, you have been abroad for these years and have never come back. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Lin Man, your sister-in-law."

Pei Yan took a puff of cigarette, his expression gloomy.

Lin Man gritted her teeth and struggled silently a few times, but the man's hand did not move at all.

Si Lianghua's hands stiffened for a moment, and the corners of his lips raised with a hint of bitterness, "Is that so." He did not call her sister-in-law, nor did he say much, but his dark eyes stared straight at Lin Man, as if he was staring at his prey. Lin Man felt Si Lianghua's gaze, lowered her head, and did not want to look at him.

"But brother, why was there another woman standing next to you in the Italian restaurant that day?" Si Lianghua spoke to Pei Yan, but his eyes were always on Lin Man.

"Lianghua, you haven't started a family yet. There are always quarrels between husband and wife. You will understand these things in the future."

Pei Yan lightly pushed back Si Lianghua's words, as if he didn't take them to heart at all.

Lin Man listened to Si Lianghua's words. Italian restaurant? Was it the restaurant where she first invited Si Lianghua to dinner?

Si Lianghua looked at Lin Man's calm, indifferent face, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

I don’t know whether he was mocking Lin Man or himself.

Lin Man felt the tense atmosphere and could only sigh that she was unlucky. She really didn't check the almanac before going out today!

She felt the hand around her waist loosen, and she quickly pushed Pei Yan away.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

She took her bag and left, looking quite utterly panic-stricken.

As soon as I walked into the bathroom, I was pushed in by a strong force. The bathroom door was slammed shut, and my ears were shocked!

"Pei Yan, you are crazy!"

Lin Man's body was placed over the sink, the bag on her waist brushed against the faucet handle, water rushed down, and her heart was pounding.

She looked in the mirror and could clearly see the darkness in Pei Yan's dark pupils.

"Let me go!" Lin Man struggled desperately!

The man's big hands didn't move at all.

Pei Yan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and there was a kind of calmness before a storm.

"Lin Man, you are so nice. First it was Ji Ze and then Liang Hua. What's wrong? Are you so eager and impatient that you can't wait to attack the people around me?"

His big hand stroked Lin Man's neck, making people tremble with fear.

Lin Man stared at Pei Yan in disbelief, her anger rising rapidly, and she no longer concealed her rage and hatred.

"Pei Yan! Stop slandering me. Mr. Si is an upright person and has helped me many times. We are friends and we have a mutual understanding! As for Ji Ze, that's nonsense! Don't think everything is dirty just because you have a dirty heart!"

Lin Man was filled with anger and hatred. She had clearly given in again and again! But why did he insist on forcing her to give in? Ji Ze had helped her in her previous life, and Si Lianghua had been kind to her. How could she let him slander them like this!

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan lowered his head and chuckled. When he raised his eyes, the smile did not reach his eyes, and his dark pupils reflected an unfathomable coldness.

Lin Man felt a chill down her spine when she saw Pei Yan like this, but her eyes still stared at him without backing down!

"Open and aboveboard, nonsense? Lin Man, do you think I, Pei Yan, am a fool? Do you think that without Ji Ze's help, you can resist the Si family's arrangement for the mother of that loser to be hospitalized?"

"Lianghua never attends any events, let alone has a female companion, but he brought you with him to attend in a high-profile manner, putting pressure on Li Hong to come! How dare you say that you didn't do this? How dare you say that you approached Lianghua without a purpose!"

Pei Yan leaned forward, close to Lin Man's ear, staring at Lin Man in the mirror with cold and angry eyes!

Pei Yan's words surprised Lin Man and shocked her!

Li Hong came for Si Lianghua?

But she soon discovered another contradiction: Was Zhao's mother's injury related to the Si family?

Why did the Si family target Zhao’s mother?

Who are the Si family? Is it a coincidence that Si Lianghua's last name is Si?

There was too much information that could not be pieced together. It was like an unsolvable mystery. Lin Man felt dizzy and his head was swelling!

Suddenly, the force on my neck gradually increased!

She was filled with rage and had thrown all her doubts out of her mind. She glared at Pei Yan with disdain and sneered.

"You, the Pei family, all like to throw dirty water on others to highlight your own nobility. In fact, you are the despicable and shameless bugs!"

The hatred in Lin Man's eyes made Pei Yan's heart suddenly ignite with anger!

Being friends with Si Lianghua means protecting our friendship in every way, but being with him means being a despicable and shameless bug!

very good!

Lin Man stood in the corner, looking at Pei Yan who was walking towards her step by step, her eyes were extremely oppressive!
