Hello, Heir

However, her ankle was grabbed by someone. Next, Si Zhengting’s head rose above the water. As he shook his head, droplets of water splashed onto her face.

Zhuang Nainai: “…” This petty guy!

—

Zhuang Nainai thought that Ding Mengya surely had something important to say if she had come to look for him. Hence, she asked him to shower and put on his clothes first. However, Si Zhengting just wouldn’t listen to her.

“It’s easy to slip and fall into the swimming pool. You are pregnant, so we have to be careful.”

Zhuang Nainai thought that what he said made sense, so she allowed him to accompany her. Both of them cleaned themselves up and changed into thick sleeping robes. Si Zhengting even helped her dry her hair with a hairdryer.

When the two of them finally went out, one hour had already passed since Ding Mengya’s arrival.

Bored, she was sitting on the living room couch and sipping on tea. Upon seeing them, she turned around to look at Si Zhengting and teased, “Oh? Did you guys go for another round during this time?”

Si Zhengting: “…!!”

As she looked at the woman in front of her, Zhuang Nainai’s cheeks blushed and she was slightly dazed.

The last time they met, Mother Zhuang had just gone missing, so she was too physically and emotionally drained to even talk to her. She even hurt her hand unintentionally. For that meeting, both parties had surely parted on bad terms.

However, for this meeting, both of them were initially awkward.

Although Zhuang Nainai hated her, she still felt rather guilty.

On the other hand, Ding Mengya did not mention anything about their last meeting and even said some witty remarks, which helped to ease the tension between them both. This was the first time Zhuang Nainai felt that perhaps Ding Mengya was not as evil as she had thought.

All these while, there had not been any news of Mother Zhuang. Although she was still very antsy, she was not as anxious as before.

Upon thinking about it calmly, she realized that Ding Mengya actually meant well this time.

Now, she had already given up on looking into other things. As long as Mother Zhuang could return safely, she would forgive anyone in this world.

At the moment, Zhuang Nainai saw that Ding Mengya seemed to have something to say to Si Zhengting. Hence, she turned around and prepared to head upstairs.

Just when she turned around, she heard Ding Mengya say, “Nainai, wait. I have something to say.”

Slightly taken aback, Zhuang Nainai turned around and heard Ding Mengya say, “We are a family now. It’s best if we talk some things out clearly.”

Talk some things out clearly?

Zhuang Nainai glanced at Si Zhengting, only to see his hopeful gaze.

There was a sense of carefulness in his gaze, which seemed to imply that he wouldn’t force her to face his mother if she wasn’t willing to.

His tender consideration for her warmed her heart even more.

Since they had nothing to hide, she might as well just talk it out!

By talking it out nicely, Si Zhengting wouldn’t have to be sandwiched between the two of them.

As she thought of this, Zhuang Nainai followed Si Zhengting and sat opposite Ding Mengya. She did not look up so as to prevent having eye contact with her.

Si Zhengting said slowly, “What do you want to say?”

Ding Mengya pursed her lips. “What I want to say is that I want to give Nainai 10% of my shares.”

“What?” As if on cue, Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting looked up in astonishment.

Ding Mengya said, “We can’t touch your share. Anyway, my share has always been managed by you. The 10% share that your sister has is hers, so we shouldn’t touch it as well. After contemplating, I think we should just give Nainai my share if she really wants some share.”

Zhuang Nainai sharply noticed that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and asked immediately, “Wait, since when have I asked for shares?”
