Si Zhengting had never thought of marrying Gu Qingyan from the Gu family, so he had never cared about the marriage contract between the two families. If Gu Qingyan wasn’t her, and she wasn’t Gu Qingyan, he sure wouldn’t have married her.
“But there must be a reason for this marriage contract. The Si family can’t possibly arrange a marriage with the Gus out of nowhere.”
Si Zhengting shook his head. “I really don’t know. My mother said that it actually isn’t even a marriage contract. It is just a verbal promise. If not for the Gu family struggling over the last obstacle, they wouldn’t have thought of the marriage contract. At least they had the conscience to not trouble us during the previous years.”
As he said this, he sat down beside Zhuang Nainai and helped her into the bed. “You shouldn’t mention it in front of Mother. It seems like this implicates another unpleasant matter, so she has been avoiding this topic.”
Immediately, Zhuang Nainai thought of her best friend and how she said that her best friend had passed away over 20 years ago. It seemed like this marriage contract had something to do with her best friend, but what had this got to do with the Gu family?
Zhuang Nainai felt that wealthy families were way too complicated and everything could not be transparent and public. It was so tiring to have to make guesses all the time.
She shook her head and just lay down on the bed, planning to sleep.
Before she drifted off to sleep, something popped up in her mind. She asked Si Zhengting, “Has Hu Zi contacted you?”
She had given her own contact details to the taxi driver, but could Hu Zi have contacted Si Zhengting directly?
Si Zhengting patted her shoulder. “No. Sleep tight, don’t worry so much. The private investigator has already found out his behavioral patterns. Even if he doesn’t contact you, we will be able to find him soon.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded and closed her eyes.
As she had shopped in the day, she was really rather worn out. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
Around midnight, Si Zhengting’s phone suddenly buzzed.
He had been sleeping while cuddling Zhuang Nainai when he heard the buzz. Immediately, he opened his eyes. His eyes were so bright that he didn’t seem like he had just woke up. Instinctively, he switched the phone to silent mode before looking over at Zhuang Nainai.
Upon seeing that she was fast asleep, he shifted her head onto the bed gently. Then, he picked up his phone and got out of bed quietly. He walked out and entered the study room.
After he answered the call, Ji Chen’s voice could be heard on the other end. “Sir, the DNA results for Mi Nuo and Li Yufeng are out. The hospital said that they have sent the result to your mail.”
Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting narrowed his eyes nonchalantly before acknowledging him. He walked over and moved the mouse a few times, causing the screen of the laptop to light up. Thereafter, he opened his email. Amidst all the work documents, he fixed his gaze on that email immediately.
He moved the cursor toward it. Having clicked on the document, he saw the screen show that it was loading.
Ji Chen was still reporting to him through the phone. “There has been progress regarding Hu Zi as well. We have been pressuring the taxi driver and they are on the brink of giving up. I believe that the truth will come to light in a few days.”
It would be best if the truth could come to light because then she would finally have peace of mind.
As he thought of this, the document had finished loading and he opened the email. Before he could take a look at it, he received another call.
Looking down, he realized that the call was made from a foreign country.
Si Zhengting looked solemn instantly.
