Between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo, there was a sore point that had been planted five years ago. Li Yufeng had thought that she would succeed by just lightly instigating them. However, she did not expect Ding Mengya to trust Zhuang Nainai so much.
She knew that she had to stop speaking right now. If not, she would draw suspicion from Ding Mengya.
She looked down. “I have told you whatever she wants to say, but it’s up to you how you want to handle this matter. However, Qingyan has said that she doesn’t want Mr. Si to know.”
She didn’t want Mr. Si to know?
Ding Mengya acknowledged her words nonchalantly.
Li Yufeng stood up to head outside. “Also, Qingyan is pregnant now. Both of them are still young and they can succumb to pleasures easily, so please keep an eye on them. I don’t want us to have any regrets after something wrong happens to the child…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was coldly cut off by Ding Mengya, “They aren’t kids anymore. I’m sure they know their limits. As their elders, we should stay out of their matters.”
Her words were stern, and it sounded like a warning to Li Yufeng.
Taken aback, Li Yufeng felt even more bothered. However, she did not say anything else and simply left after saying her goodbye.
After Li Yufeng’s presence could no longer be felt, Ding Mengya picked up her phone immediately and called the butler. “Li, did Li Yufeng visit today?”
“Yeah. What’s wrong, Madam?” The butler was confused.
Ding Mengya said, “Did she have a private talk with Qingyan? What did they talk about?”
The butler answered, “She did speak to Madam, but I didn’t hear their conversation as I was in my room.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Mengya continued to frown.
She did not know Zhuang Nainai well, so she couldn’t suspect her of anything from Li Yufeng’s one-sided words. However, she also could not believe Zhuang Nainai.
Having experienced the dog-eat-dog business world for many years now, she had sharply noticed that something was wrong.
Why did it feel like Li Yufeng was trying to sow discord between her and Zhuang Nainai, knowing that they did not have a good relationship?
Ding Mengya stood up. If she cannot wrap her head around this, she shall ask!
Ding Mengya had never been one to blindly speculate when she was unsure of something.

At the Si family’s villa.
After eating lunch, Si Zhengting glanced at the time. It was already 2 pm. It would take him around half an hour to reach the office if he rushed there now. If he got off work at 6 pm, that would be a wasted trip.
Hence, he gave Ji Chen a call and informed him of several important matters over the phone. Then, he decided that he would spend the remaining time with Nainai and the unborn baby!
He walked out of the study room and realized that Zhuang Nainai was not in the bedroom. He then headed downstairs, but she was not in the living room either. When he went to the kitchen, he also could not find her there.
Si Zhengting headed toward the garden. However, even after he’d been walking through the entire garden, she could not be seen.
Si Zhengting turned around to ask the butler about her whereabouts. Just when he turned around, he heard splashing sounds from the pool.
The Si family pool belonged exclusively to him. No one else would be using it. So, now… Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes and headed straight to the pool.
In the summer, the swimming pool would be al fresco. In the winter, the swimming pool would be covered with glass panels and the heater inside would be switched on. Hence, it would always feel like spring in the swimming pool.
From afar and through the transparent glass, he could already see Zhuang Nainai, who was wearing a bikini, kicking her legs in the water at the poolside.
She was holding on to the side of the pool tightly as she reached out timidly to hit the surface of the water. There was a tinge of excitement in her eyes.
