Zuo Yiyi’s eyes grew moist. Pursing her lips together, she looked hard at Zhuang Nainai. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t take your happiness for granted. Brother Ting treats you so well, so why do you want to divorce him?”
This topic again…
Zhuang Nainai sighed. When she noticed the tears in Zuo Yiyi’s eyes, her anger disappeared as she realized that Zuo Yiyi seemed to be the one getting bullied now. Looking at Zuo Yiyi seriously, she said, “Zuo Yiyi, let me ask you something. Does it have anything to do with you if I divorce him or not?”
Zuo Yiyi was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, Zhuang Nainai cut in once more.
“Let’s say I actually divorce him. Will he marry you then?”
Would he?
Zuo Yiyi was taken aback. Of course, she knew he wouldn’t.
If he had really wanted to marry her, he would have done so within the past five years.
Seeing the state that Zuo Yiyi was in, Zhuang Nainai continued, “Also, what are you to him such that you always keep trying to interfere in his affairs? Neither his mother nor his sister has ever interrogated me like this. What… right do you have?”
She knew she was being hurtful with her words, but given Zuo Yiyi’s innocent stubbornness, she had to be made to come to her senses through piercing words like these.
Predictably, Zuo Yiyi was taken aback once more.
Zhuang Nainai sighed, then walked over to stand beside her. Reaching out to pat her on the shoulder, she said, “It’s been so many years… we’ve been enemies since our high school days, but I’ve actually always liked your personality. I believe that you treat me as more than just a love rival, so why can’t we just be friends?”
Zuo Yiyi pressed her lips together. Sagging her shoulders and allowing Zhuang Nainai’s hand to slip down, her voice hardened. “Who wants to be friends with you?!”
Zhuang Nainai continued speaking. “In fact, I quite admire you.”
Zuo Yiyi froze again. Giving a cold grunt and slanting her gaze sideways, she pricked her ears.
Zhuang Nainai was amused at Zuo Yiyi’s behavior. Putting her hand on Zuo Yiyi’s shoulder once more, she said, “Out of all the successors in that year, you, Su Yanbin, and Si Zhengting were the best of buddies. I followed you all around everywhere, and I know… even though nobody said it out aloud, everyone belittled me. You, on the other hand, were the only one who kept calling me poor and penniless without regard for anything. You said whatever was in your mind.”
Zuo Yiyi’s face darkened in an instant. This was admiration?! Just as she was about to move Zhuang Nainai’s hand away once more, she heard Zhuang Nainai continue speaking.
“You’ve never done anything bad in the dark; instead, you openly set yourself against me. You look cold on the surface, but you’re actually friendly and always willing to help people out. Do you remember that there was a day when I forgot to bring my wallet to buy a bun? The stall owner wasn’t willing to let me go, and even though you ridiculed me and walked away while Su Yanbin came over to help me… Su Yanbin later told me that it was you who had told him to come over to help me.”
Zuo Yiyi grew guilty at the mention of this.
That time, she had harbored her own motives. She knew Su Yanbin liked Zhuang Nainai and had wanted to give Su Yanbin the chance to be the hero to save the damsel in distress, but little did she expect…
The matter later got to Si Zhengting’s ears, and when they had all gotten together to eat, Si Zhengting had suddenly passed two dollars to Su Yanbin, claiming that it was the money for Zhuang Nainai’s bun.
Zuo Yiyi was dumbstruck at the thought of this.
So… actually, at that point in time, Si Zhengting had already treated Zhuang Nainai as his girlfriend! If not, he wouldn’t have had any reason to pass Su Yanbin money, right?
