Mi Nuo approached her, the corner of her lip curled up in a sneer. “Why are you still hesitating? Mr. Si doesn’t trust you, and all the evidence is pointing toward you as the culprit. Do you really want to stay on and become the scapegoat?”
As she said this, she narrowed her eyes and the corner of her lips curled up into a sneer. Once Zhuang Nainai left, her relationship with Mr. Si would be completely over.
Zhuang Nainai said in a low voice, “So I have to leave?”
Mi Nuo nodded. “That’s right. You have to leave quickly. If not, it’ll be too late.”
“But where will I go?” Zhuang Nainai seemed very lost.
Mi Nuo answered, “If you aren’t able to go to another country, you should leave for somewhere else to hide first. China’s so large that it’ll be difficult for them to find someone who is hiding.”
“Then I’ll really become someone who has fled to evade prosecution. I’ll have to live in the shadows. Does that mean that I can never live honorably again?”
Mi Nuo threatened her, “Which do you think is a better option — living in the shadows or living behind bars?”
“That’s right, I can’t go to prison.”
“Yes, so, you have to…” Mi Nuo continued tempting her.
However, before she could finish saying what was on her mind, she saw the corners of Zhuang Nainai’s lips curled up into a smirk.
Mi Nuo was taken aback. Her brows quickly furrowed.
Zhuang Nainai sarcastically replied, “Mi Nuo, just how stupid do you think others are?”
Mi Nuo suddenly felt so angry that she gritted her teeth. So looking lost was just an act?!
Mi Nuo glanced at her, sarcastically remarking, “But now you only have two choices.”
“Are you so sure that Si Zhengting won’t choose me?” Zhuang Nainai glanced at Mi Nuo.
Mi Nuo clenched her hands into fists. “You think that Mr. Si will choose a thief like you?”
The word “thief” caused Zhuang Nainai to clench her hands into fists again.
That’s right!
If Si Zhengting knew that she was innocent, he definitely would not choose to make her a scapegoat.
She understood his personality and his ego.
But the problem was that Si Zhengting completely didn’t trust her now.
Zhuang Nainai’s smile became forced, but she suddenly raised her head, her gaze steadily on Mi Nuo. “Mi Nuo, even if he doesn’t choose me, let me tell you: I like living honorably and righteously. I would rather go to prison than become someone who slinks around in the shadows for the rest of her life! Such people are the most pitiful!”
After she said that, Zhuang Nainai stood up straighter and walked away.
Mi Nuo stood rooted to the ground. Her cheeks were flaming hot, and there was a rage boiling up within her.
Slinking around in the shadows?
Was Zhuang Nainai referring to her?!
Mi Nuo clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. It took a while before she returned to her office.
She thought for a moment before picking up her phone and calling Zuo Yiyi. “Ms. Zuo, your dress is ready.”
“Right, I’ll send someone over to collect it.” Zuo Yiyi seemed to be in a beauty salon as there was soft music playing in the background.
Mi Nuo paused before she said, “Mr. Si hasn’t been in a good mood recently, you’ll have to be careful.”
Zuo Yiyi was taken aback. “What’s up with Brother Ting?”
Ever since she heard that Zhuang Nainai had married Si Zhengting, Zuo Yiyi had not bothered them.
Hearing this news all of a sudden confused her.
Mi Nuo said, “Isn’t it all because of the matter regarding the design drafts, sigh…”
Mi Nuo briefly told Zuo Yiyi the matter about the design drafts. “Executive Assistant Ji told me that Zuo Yiyi is Mrs. Si. However… how is that possible! Mrs. Si stole the Imperial Group’s design drafts and gave them to the Gu Corporation. Sigh, Mr. Si has lost a lot of weight recently.”.
