Hello, Heir

“Right, they’re now living separately — Mrs. Si has moved out from the Si residence. Aish, you like Mr. Si so much, but the way she’s treating Mr. Si…”

“I’m not trying to say that you’re pitiful, but I just feel a little sad for Mr. Si. If he were to get a divorce, he’ll become the biggest joke in Beijing City. Aish!”

…

As she had just been arguing with Mi Nuo, Zhuang Nainai’s emotions were running a little high. Unsure if her body was able to take the current level of agitation, she quickly sat down and drank a few sips of water to suppress her satisfaction.

She was determined to prevent Mi Nuo from setting her up.

Just as she was thinking, her cell phone rang. Picking her cell phone up, she realized it was a message from Si Zhengting. “It’s time for you to eat cantaloupe.”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

She had always thought of Si Zhengting as a haughty, hidden romantic. But now she suddenly felt… Mr. Haughty could very well become Mr. Old Mom.

Despite such thoughts, she felt that it was a very sweet gesture and picked up the cantaloupe to take a few bites out of it. She had barely finished eating when she heard the clicking of stilettos outside her office.

She didn’t even have enough time to lift her head before the door was pushed open. Someone triumphantly walked in.

Stunned, she raised her brows and saw that it was Zuo Yiyi who had just arrogantly settled herself in front of her.

Zuo Yiyi had her usual cold expression. Pressing her lips together and making a face as if someone owed her millions of dollars, she subconsciously lifted her chin as she said, “Zhuang Nainai, cut the hypocrisy.”

What hypocrisy did she have to cut out?

Why was everyone saying that she was being hypocritical?

Did she have to accept Si Zhengting just because he was being nice to her?

Then what about the times when he had treated her badly and had not trusted her? Why hadn’t they gone over to him to tell him to cut his hypocrisy?

Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips together. Lifting up a cup of tea to her lips, she cast a lazy glance at Zuo Yiyi. “Was it Mi Nuo who called to tell you that I’m in the office?”

If she had been at home, Zuo Yiyi would surely not have dared to confront her like she was doing now.

Zuo Yiyi was taken aback upon hearing what Zhuang Nainai said.

Indeed, it had been Mi Nuo who had called Zuo Yiyi and had laboriously told her everything. She had been shopping in a nearby mall when Mi Nuo had called, and she had come over to confront Zhuang Nainai in the heat of the moment.

But Zuo Yiyi suddenly realized something: she had just been made use of!

She narrowed her eyes immediately, frustration and anger rising to their peaks in her heart. Raising her head, she spotted Zhuang Nainai staring at her. Unwilling to show any sign of weakness, she suppressed the anger burning in her.

Still keeping her head high, she fixed her eyes on Zhuang Nainai. “Zhuang Nainai, it doesn’t matter who it was who told me that you’re in the office. Just tell me one thing — are you going to get a divorce with Brother Ting?”

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze turned to slits. “What if I am? And what if I’m not?”

Zuo Yiyi’s jaws tightened as she stared back at Zhuang Nainai.

She had been made to feel extremely awkward during the gala dinner, and people in high society had made fun of her.

But she had never blamed Si Zhengting. If anything, she knew how, in Si Zhengting’s heart, it was impossible to compare Zhuang Nainai and her on the same footing.

But… why did Zhuang Nainai sound so righteous?

Did Zhuang Nainai know how outstanding the Brother Ting she possibly wanted to leave was? More than that, did Zhuang Nanai know how much she liked him?
