After saying this, Si Jingyu waved goodbye and left.
Zhuang Nainai watched the car drive off, then she looked at Si Zhengting in confusion. “Why isn’t Sister leaving after the Chinese New Year? The Chinese New Year is just around the corner!”
Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes. “Because during the Chinese New Year, every family is reunited. She will probably feel sad.”
As soon as he said this, Zhuang Nainai kept quiet and sighed deeply moments later.
Yeah. Spending the Chinese New Year in Beijing is also considered a kind of pain, isn’t it?
―
It was half a month to the Chinese New Year.
Zhuang Nainai was slightly nervous yet excited as this was the first time she was spending the Chinese New Year with him.
Since she was idle at home, she would love to welcome the festive season. The Si family was so big. On the day of the Chinese New Year, everyone, other than Butler Li, would be going home for the holiday.
It would be very cheerless with only the three of them, wouldn’t it?
Then…
Something popped up in Zhuang Nainai’s head suddenly, but she remained silent.
They had been searching for Mother Zhuang for three months to no avail, making Zhuang Nainai unable to put her feelings into words.
Seeing how everyone was driving around and bringing festive goods home, she could not help but wonder where Mother Zhuang was during the Chinese New Year.
Toward the end of the year, the company was starting to get busier. Si Zhengting could not continue to work by fits and starts. He had been going to work every day recently and even working overtime on weekends.
Zhuang Nainai would feel bored at home, so she had been following him to work.
However, most of the work had been passed on to others, so she was idle. She would just stroll around and chat with people every day.
Meanwhile, Si Zhengting would give her a call during mealtimes every day or head downstairs personally to look for her.
After he had been doing this for some time, a post appeared on the company’s Intranet quietly: “Even the Cold President Has a Weakness for the Charms of a Beautiful Woman. Transforming into a Caring Man.”
Instantly, their relationship had been severely exaggerated. The post described Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting to be extremely loving toward each other, and someone’s imagination ran wild as he/she crafted a perfect love story for them — something along the lines of the cold president falling in love at first sight with Zhuang Nainai. Anyway, this was something to gossip about when everyone was hustling at the end of the year. It was very… torturous for singles.
In Mi Nuo’s office.
Reading the post, Mi Nuo clenched her fists tightly while her eyes were shooting laser beams.
Ever since Zhuang Nainai had nitpicked the clothes she had designed, she had become a joke in the entire company.
In addition, everyone knew that Mi Nuo and Zhuang Nainai were not on good terms, but Zhuang Nainai was Mrs. President, so everyone started to distance themselves from Mi Nuo.
These snobbish people!
After taking in a deep breath, she looked at the post again. She felt even more bitter immediately.
With tightly clenched fists, she could not contain it anymore and stood up suddenly.
After pacing back and forth in her office for a while, she still could not help but take out her phone, turn down its volume, and give Li Yufeng a call.
As soon as the call was answered, Li Yufeng’s voice could be heard. “Nuo Nuo, what are you doing? You are clearly aware that Mr. Si is investigating us. How can you call me?”
Mi Nuo narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice. Almost losing it, she said, “I can’t take it anymore. Find a way to remove her from the company!”
“Nuo Nuo!” Li Yufeng said sternly. “It’s precisely because you can’t hold your emotions that we got exposed. We have already come this far. If the truth is revealed beforehand, everything will go to waste, do you understand?”
