Not at home?!
Zuo Yiyi, who was still sobbing, looked up immediately when she heard this. “How dare you guys not let us in just because he’s not at home? So then, who was the one who conveyed the wrong instructions?”
The butler sighed. “That was the instruction left by Sir.”
After saying this, he glanced at Zhuang Nainai. “He said Ms. Zhuang is not allowed to come in.”
As soon as Zhuang Nainai stepped into the house, she raised her head and looked at the nursery upstairs.
However, she was disappointed by the fact that there were not many baby products in the room. Furthermore, there was no sound made by anyone nor were there babies’ cries from upstairs. There wasn’t even a hint of the scent of baby’s milk powder.
Ever since she walked into the villa, she had been observing the surroundings. Then, she realized that there were no baby clothes being hung out to dry in the courtyard…
She started to feel more and more bitter. In that moment, she could finally confirm that the babies weren’t here.
But if the babies aren’t here, where could they be?
As she thought of this, she heard what Uncle Li said.
Ms. Zhuang… come in…
Those words felt like needles that stabbed into her heart.
Her heart, which had been aching so much that it was becoming numb, wrenched slightly again when she heard those words.
Si Jingyu frowned. “Uncle Li, are you sure that that is exactly what Si Zhengting said?”
The butler glanced at Si Zhengting again, only to see him look down. Hence, he answered according to his wishes, “Yes.”
Si Jingyu was fuming. She grabbed Zhuang Nainai and sat her down. “Hmph! My good brother is really becoming more capable now! His wife just gave birth to his children. How can he just leave her alone? I wouldn’t be able to accept this, not to mention Nainai! I really want to know what the reasons are behind all of this! Nainai, don’t leave. Just stay here until he comes back!”
“That’s…” Upon hearing this, the butler was put in a difficult spot. He glanced at Zhuang Nainai and said, “Sir said that if Madam insists on coming in, he has something to give her.”
Something to give her?
After the butler finished speaking, he went to Si Zhengting’s study room upstairs.
When he came back down, there was an envelope in his hand. He approached Zhuang Nainai and handed the envelope to her. “Ms. Zhuang, Sir said that there is a card inside and it has a value of $300,000. He is also gifting you the apartment you are living in now, in hopes that the two of you can split on good terms.”
Split on good terms.
Split on good terms.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly as she stared at the butler. “What do you mean split on good terms?!”
The butler lowered his head and answered slowly, “It is exactly what you heard from me.”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened. She lowered her head and looked at the envelope in her hand. Grasping it tightly, she pursed her lips.
“That’s too much!” Si Jingyu slammed the coffee table and stood up suddenly. Before she could say anything, Butler Li said seriously, “Miss, since you are back, why don’t you make time to visit Madam? Madam misses you.”
His words rendered Si Jingyu completely speechless. She turned around and looked at Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai already understood the butler’s digression.
Biting her lip, she knew that she had been issued an “unwelcome guest” warning. As her body trembled subtly, she felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation at that moment.
She looked at the envelope. Her hand, which was grasping the envelope tightly, was also shaking. She raised her head and looked at the butler for a moment before turning around to leave.
