Tengtang Xi clenched her fists. The jealousy that she was feeling was clearly visible on her face!
Zuo Weiyi had actually dared to accuse her of attempted murder? Well, she really could not wait to see how Zuo Weiyi was going to try and convict her without any evidence at all!
As she thought about it, Tengtang Xi sneered.
At this time, Tengtang Li walked over to his granddaughter and said, “Xi-er, let’s go home.”
Shi Yuting frowned as he was deep in his own thoughts at the backseat.
Xiangyi who was sitting in the driver’s seat suddenly asked, “All of the evidence seem to be pointing directly at Miss Zuo. What should we do next?”
“We cannot convict Tengtang Xi for attempted murder but the least that we can do is to ensure that Weiyi is not convicted for the crime that she did not commit.”
Xiangyi understood Shi Yuting’s intentions as soon as he heard her words.
Although they did not have any evidence to prove that Tengtang Xi tried to harm Zuo Weiyi, they could try to look for some evidence to prove Zuo Weiyi’s innocence. Although no one saw Tengtang Xi strangling Zuo Weiyi that day, a nurse in the hospital saw the traces and fingerprint marks on Zuo Weiyi’s neck. They also saw the ruptured wound on her back. All of these could be proved by the nurses and the dean of the hospital. This would prove to be very beneficial to Zuo Weiyi’s defence.
As expected, Shi Yuting was still the most thoughtful!
“Also, I want you to stop calling her ‘Miss Zuo’ in future. You should change how you refer to her,” Shi Yuting said once again from the back seat.
Xiangyi was a little taken aback. When he saw Shi Yuting’s unreadable face through the rearview mirror, Xiangyi suddenly asked, “How should I address her then?”
Shi Yuting was silent for a moment before he replied, “Young Mistress, or… Mrs. Chairman.”
Young mistress? Mrs. Chairman?
Was Mr. Shi and Miss Zuo already officially married?
Xiangyi could only make this assumption in his heart. After all, if this was not the case, then Shi Yuting would not have asked him to refer to Zuo Weiyi as a young mistress or Mrs. Chairman.
As he thought about this, Xiangyi pursed his lips together as he replied, “Okay.”
“What about the matter involving Shi Tiannan?”
“After hearing that your house arrest has already been lifted, Shi Tiannan has already returned to Country C today. He should be arriving back at the Shi family mansion anytime soon.”
As soon as he heard that, Shi Yuting frowned immediately.
“I want you to return to Country Z tomorrow to deal with the affairs involving Di Zun Group.”
If Zuo Yi meant what he had said earlier this morning, then that meant that he would have to stay in Country C until Zuo Yi stepped down as president of the country. He would only be able to bring Zuo Weiyi back to Country Z then. Therefore, he could only leave the affairs of Di Zun Group in Xiangyi’s hands for the time being.
At this time, Shi Yuting’s car had already arrived at the Shi family mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, Shi Yuting saw Shi Tiannan’s car. It seemed as though he had already returned home.
Both of them stepped out of the car immediately. As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Shi Tiannan and his adoptive mother, Xiao Yayue, sitting on the sofa.
The atmosphere in the living room was very quiet and depressing. Shi Nuannuan had a sullen expression on her face as she sat on the sofa. She was staring directly at Xiao Yayue who was sitting directly opposite her. She was the woman that her father had divorced when he was still alive!
Back then, Shi Xiaotian had been forced to marry Xiao Yayue. He had always been deeply in love with Shen Lanzhi. However, after Xiao Yayue was unable to conceive a child, Shi Le was not very comfortable and happy even though they had already adopted Shi Tiannan into the Shi family.
After all, the Shi family was a very powerful and influential family. Shi Le was naturally very unwilling to allow Shi Tiannan, who was not related by blood to him in any way, to inherit the Shi family.
A few years later, Shi Le suddenly learned of Shi Yuting’s existence. He was very pleased to find out that he actually had a grandson who was related to him by blood in this world! At that time, he had quickly arranged for Shi Yuting to be brought back into the Shi family mansion.
Shi Xiaotian could see right through his father’s thoughts back then. Therefore, it did not take him long before he filed for a divorce with Xiao Yayue, on the grounds that she was unable to bear any children for him. Shi Le could not refute his son’s decision and simply gave Xiao Yayue some money and shares as compensation for the divorce.
