Somewhat similar?
Zhuang Nainai considered this seriously. “That’s true — their experiences are all too similar. Both of them lost their parents, had poor family backgrounds, relied on themselves to get out of poverty… If one didn’t know their personalities, one would imagine them to be inspirational individuals!”
After saying this, Zhuang Nainai looked toward Si Zhengting. “But what can we derive from these similarities? We can’t possibly say that they admire each other up to the point of mutual attraction, can we? That Li Yufeng, with her love troubles, and Mi Nuo, with her inability to get the love she wants… decided to get together?”
Si Zhengting was speechless.
This woman was bright sometimes — that was true — but sometimes, she made people want to knock open her head to see the insides!
But he had become immune to her ridiculous reasoning a long time ago, so he simply paused for a while before continuing, “I mean, they look a little alike.”
“Look alike?” Zhuang Nainai widened her eyes in disbelief. Instantly, the image of Mi Nuo and Li Yufeng sitting opposite each other at Starbucks came to mind, with their faces blown up.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed. If Si Zhengting hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t have noticed, but now that he had… she suddenly felt that the two of them indeed looked somewhat alike.
It was just that, normally, Li Yufeng would dress up as a rich lady, and her current old age meant that she looked very different from when she was younger. But Zhuang Nainai had seen photos of Li Yufeng when she had been younger.
When she had been younger, she looked very similar to Mi Nuo!
Zhuang Nainai’s heart began thumping quickly. All of a sudden, she felt as if she had chanced upon a shocking secret, and she felt herself grow unsteady. Gulping her saliva, she looked toward Si Zhengting. “Do you mean…”
Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes. “Let’s verify their DNA first. That’ll give us some clues.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows. “But I’m afraid that it’ll take us some time to obtain the samples. I’ll get my people to do it as quickly as they can.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded once more. DNA tests had stringent requirements for the samples to be tested. For example, skin flakes weren’t allowed, and even hair samples had to have their roots intact. If they were to obtain samples from Li Yufeng and Mi Nuo while they were in their currently wary state, it was going to be an uphill task.
By the time they reached home, it was already four in the afternoon.
As they opened the door and got off the car, they heard sounds of a scuffle coming from the living room.
The two of them walked in and heard Ding Mengya’s raised voice. “Old Li, are you sure you don’t want her?”
The butler’s voice was timid and small. “No, Madam, I really don’t.”
Ding Mengya fumed, “I’m helping you out of goodwill, but you’re treating me like this!”
The butler’s voice was full of resignation. “Madam, I know you treat me well, but I… I really don’t want her.”
“You, what’s wrong with her? Why are you being like this?”
The butler sighed. “She’s good in all aspects, but I just don’t like her.”
At the door, Zhuang Nainai listened in confusion. She turned her head to look at Si Zhengting.
Si Zhengting curled his lips and coldly explained, “I’m guessing that Madam Ding’s found a prospective partner for Uncle Li again.”
Zhuang Nainai thought, “…Wow, so my mother-in-law has such a hobby?”
Zhuang Nainai didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. She shook her head and headed toward the living room while Si Zhengting tried to explain it to her. “But Madam Ding hasn’t introduced anyone to him for the past two years, so I have no idea what’s going on this year!”
