Just when everyone was confused as to what Mi Nuo was doing, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Zhuang Nainai turned around to see Si Zhengting walking over with bodyguards by his side. Turning back once more to face Mi Nuo, she suddenly realized that this was all a sham by Mi Nuo to gain his sympathies!
Zhuang Nainai was suddenly amused by it all. Crossing her arms together, she watched from the sidelines.
Si Zhengting made his way over, and it was only after he’d made sure that Zhuang Nainai was alright that he heaved a sigh of relief. Without further ado, the bodyguards made a motion to go forward and rescue Mi Nuo.
But Si Zhengting held out his hand to stop them.
And so, everyone clustered themselves together at the side and watched as Mi Nuo tried to hold Shi Haoyu back.
With his eyes red, Shi Haoyu stared at Zhuang Nainai. “If you’re not going to let go of my child, I’m not going to let go of yours!”
With his leg still being held by Mi Nuo, he immediately turned around and kicked her viciously!
“Thud!”
The hard kick landed on Mi Nuo’s shoulder, and she was all ready to roll on the floor in pain.
But Mi Nuo still held on tightly to Shi Haoyu. Seeing that she wasn’t letting go, he turned and slapped her on the head. Grabbing her hair, he then violently flung her toward the side.
Mi Nuo fell onto the ground, thinking that her theatrics would gain the sympathy of Si Zhengting. Little did she expect him to simply stare at her coldly, and she was stunned by this unexpected reaction.
Very quickly, the bodyguards got a hold of Shi Haoyu, and they brought him outside.
Mi Nuo, on the other hand, laboriously stood up. She walked toward Si Zhengting and Zhuang Nainai with pained footsteps. Biting her lips, she said, “Zhuang Nainai, I’m relieved that you’re fine.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Zhuang Nainai was full of respect for her acting skills!
Things had already progressed to such a level, and she was still thick-skinned enough to say something like this?
Mi Nuo knew that she was being suspected, and she was only trying to use the current situation to resolve the rift between Mr. Si and her. In the past, even though they were not in regular contact, he at least had a good impression of her. Never did she expect that her strategy would fall flat on its face! She considered her current state, and she lifted her head once more to look at Si Zhengting. There was only one word lingering in his gaze: “clown.”
Humiliated, Mi Nuo bit her lips as she finished speaking. Nodding toward Si Zhengting, she limped away.
As Zhuang Nainai watched Mi Nuo walk away, she was unsure as to whether to laugh or cry at the theatrics that had just occurred in front of her eyes.
She was still amused even when she and Si Zhengting had gotten to the top floor. Was this considered as Mi Nuo shooting herself in the foot?
Well, with the beating she got, it was her just desserts!
Zhuang Nainai ate her lunch with a smile on her face, then happily went to the office on the top floor for her nap.
By the time she woke up, she decided not to go downstairs anymore and simply stayed on the top floor to while away her time.
At 6 in the evening, Ji Chen suddenly pushed open the doors to the office.
Zhuang Nainai raised her head curiously to look at Ji Chen just as she heard him say, “Sir, the private investigator who’s in charge of investigating Mi Nuo has come back with some new developments!”
New developments?
Was it about Mi Nuo and her relationship with the Gu family?
Zhuang Nainai pricked her ears as Ji Chen continued, “Sir, the private investigator has said that there was no record of her birth at the hospital located near her birth village!”
No record of her birth?
That meant… Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed. That meant that Mi Nuo wasn’t the child of her parents?
Then… who exactly was she?!
