Zhuang Nainai looked at Ding Mengya.
Ding Mengya pursed her lips before saying, “I don’t know why he said that, but Nainai, you must believe me. I didn’t do it!”
Zhuang Nainai remained silent.
She was having mixed emotions, and her mind was cluttered.
Not only did she not know who to believe, but she also did not know how to make a choice.
Ding Mengya, who was sitting opposite her, was Si Zhengting’s mother. She and Si Zhengting looked alike. Blood was surely thicker than water. Moreover, their mother-son relationship was very good. She could also feel that Ding Mengya was a good person after spending some time with her.
But why did Hu Zi say that?
Why did Hu Zi say that it was Ding Mengya?
Upon taking in a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai suddenly remembered what Si Zhengting had told her last night.
“We must trust each other from now on…”
Trust each other.
She would definitely trust him.
For the sake of a better future ahead and a blissful family, Si Zhengting had rushed overseas without hesitation and without sleeping a wink as soon as he heard news about Mother Zhuang.
Then, right now, how could she suspect everything just because of something Hu Zi said?
After Mother comes back, this too… shall pass.
As she thought of this, Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Let’s go home first.”
Her attitude was very ambiguous with a tinge of suspicion. No one could tell what she was thinking or whether she believed her or not. However, Ding Mengya knew that any explanation she’d give would be useless. She already trusted her slightly only after a few days of interaction.
If this matter really became a mystery, then the only solution to this problem was time. Time would reveal a person’s heart.
She would let Zhuang Nainai understand that one can pretend to be nice for a day or a week, but not for the rest of one’s life.
Ding Mengya looked down and stood up. “Okay, let’s go home first.”
After the two of them got into the car, an odd silence filled it. The harmonious atmosphere that they had tried their best to create during the past few days was gone. The chemistry that Ding Mengya and Zhuang Nainai had fostered painstakingly had also vanished.
Ding Mengya felt suffocated; there was an agony that she could not put into words. She sent a message to the bodyguards. “Find Hu Zi! He must be found!”
There was fury in her gaze. What exactly was going on? Why was she being wrongly accused?!
Sitting beside her, Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and used her phone. However, she could not have peace of mind.
She could feel Ding Mengya exuding a ruthless aura, and she seemed to be going berserk. Zhuang Nainai could not help but laugh suddenly.
Forget it. Trust and harmony were the most important values of human interaction.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ding Mengya. “What did you knit for the babies using the wool you bought that day?”
Ding Mengya was taken aback at her initiative to ease the awkward atmosphere. Looking at Zhuang Nainai in disbelief, she realized moments later that it was indeed Zhuang Nainai who talked to her just now!
Joy flashed across Ding Mengya’s eyes instantly as she answered in slight embarrassment, “I have not mastered the skills to knit a sweater, so I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to knit it well. Why don’t I knit two small hats for the babies first?”
Zhuang Nainai continued smiling. “Okay.”
Zhuang Nainai’s compromise made Ding Mengya heave a big sigh of relief. However, she still felt the need to explain herself.
She paused for a moment before saying, “Nainai, I don’t know why Hu Zi is slandering me, but I will find Hu Zi and confront him in front of you!”
