He then looked at Zhuang Nainai. “Madam, what happened between you and Sir?”
Zhuang Nainai grew embarrassed. “Nothing.”
The butler kept quiet for a moment and asked again, “Madam, you asked if I had seen a wooden box previously. Pardon my intrusion, was it the bangle from Ma’am you are looking for?”
The butler was old, but nothing escaped his eyes and he could piece together what happened easily. Zhuang Nainai was lost for words and merely nodded.
The butler sighed. “Madam, do you know why Sir got so angry?”
Zhuang Nainai looked at him.
The butler explained, “That bangle is the Si family heirloom. Sir’s grandmother had given it to Ma’am, and now she had entrusted it to you, thereby acknowledging your position as the lady of the Si house!”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened in surprise.
She could tell that the bangle was expensive, but she did not expect it to carry such significance!
It was no wonder that Si Zhengting got so angry. It was not just a simple gift, she was effectively rejecting him!
Zhuang Nainai instantly felt that her mistake was even graver than before.
She sighed and walked upstairs dejectedly.
What could she do now?
She was at a loss when the butler’s voice suddenly sounded from the door. “Madam, Ma’am had just given me Su Yanbing’s number.”
Zhuang Nainai had a moment of happiness before she took in the rest of the sentence. She paused. Ma’am? Ding Mengya?
She was bewildered. Since the butler got the number from Ding Mengya, she must have known that she and Si Zhengting were not talking. She did not mock her but instead gave her the number?
So was Ding Mengya really accepting the fact that she was with Si Zhengting now? She was okay with it now?
Zhuang Nainai shook that thought from her head. Her priority now was to explain to Si Zhengting about the gift and bring him home.
She drew in a deep breath and gave Su Yanbing a call.

In the Colors Club…
A group of people were playing with cards. Su Yanbing’s voice was heard all over the place. “Damn! I lost again! My allowance for the month will be gone if I continue losing like this! No, no, that won’t do, I need to win it back!”
Liu Bingxing laughed triumphantly at his side. “Little Bing, you will lose your allowance for the coming month too in a while.”
They saw someone making a face and nodding towards the solemn man seated on the sofa.
Su Yanbing looked over. “Leader Ting is working his brooding look again!”
“He looks strange today. What happened to his hand?”
Su Yanbing glanced at Si Zhengting’s sloppily bandaged hand and pouted. “What else? Who else could make him act so dejectedly like that?”
Liu Bingxing was shocked. “Zhuang Nainai?”
He was absent from the previous gathering as he was away, so he did not know that Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting had met.
Su Yanbing nodded and shushed him.
Liu Bingxing lowered his voice and threw his cards down on the table. “But, didn’t he just register his marriage a few days ago?”
Su Yanbing was shocked. “What? For real? With whom!”
Liu Bingxing’s father was the bank manager handling the bank loans for Gu Deshou. He curled his lips. “Of course, or my father would not have approved the loans to the Gu Corporation.”
