Throughout the night, Zhuang Nainai did not sleep much.
Her emotions — anguish, sorrow, and pain — overwhelmed her. Only when it was close to dawn did she suddenly realize that Uncle Li’s emotions were abnormal.
When Ding Mengya fell down the stairs, Butler Li had looked at her as if he was going to skin her alive!
But today, when they were at the Si residence, Uncle Li kept his eyes on the ground and did not look her in the eyes. Although his behavior was still cold, there was no anger and hatred involved.
So, something was not right.
The whole incident was so odd. Just now, she had called Si Zhengting, but his phone was switched off. Hence, she must find Si Zhengting and get to the bottom of things now.
After hearing what she said, Su Yanbin was slightly dazed. Then, he complained inaudibly, “Is Leader Ting’s plan going to be ruined because of the butler?”
This is illogical!
Su Yanbin’s expression was very complex, as if bottles of paint had spilled over him all at once.
Confused, Zhuang Nainai looked at him. “Su Yanbin, what’s wrong with you? Could it be that you already have a partner, so you can’t bring me in?”
Su Yanbin: “…!!”
Su Yanbin cleared his throat. “Erm. Nainai, even if you meet Leader Ting, what can you do? You…”
“Quick, go home and change. Come and fetch me at 5 pm. Stop spouting nonsense.” Zhuang Nainai made Su Yanbin swallow his words. He opened his mouth and nodded in the end.
“Okay, I will go home and change.”
After he went downstairs, he took out his phone and messaged Si Zhengting immediately. Not knowing what to feel, he simply told him what happened here.
Si Zhengting’s reply was very simple. “Alright.”
Alright…
Su Yanbin was going crazy. What do you mean alright? What was he supposed to do now?
Of the two women upstairs, one was a glib talker and the other was someone one shouldn’t mess with. He really… was left with no choice.
Su Yanbin sighed inaudibly. Forget it, he shall just bring Nainai there.
Inside the apartment, Lin Xi’er looked at Zhuang Nainai. She took out her own makeup kit and applied a natural makeup look for her. Then, she helped her style her hair to match her dress.
In the past, Zhuang Nainai was on the thinner side. Hence, she actually could not pull off the sexy pieces. But now, Zhuang Nainai’s figure had become more glamorous.
The woman in the mirror had big and clear eyes. Now that there was a motherly aura to her as well, her features could not be more refined. With Lin Xi’er’s makeup skills, she became extremely beautiful.
When Su Yanbin came to fetch her, he was stunned upon seeing her. For a moment, he was over the moon. How envious and jealous would the others be of him being able to have such a beautiful partner to accompany him to the ball?
Furthermore…. this would probably trigger the leader’s jealousy!
However, at night, Su Yanbin wished he could find a hole to sneak into.
The socializing event was held at the Beijing Hotel. The sky was dark now, but the place was brightly-lit. Luxury cars were lined up outside. Clad in an Armani suit, Su Yanbin looked dashing. However, he was extremely embarrassed right now!
When a few people walked past him, they would even steal a few glances at him, making him feel so humiliated. He looked at the security officer at the hotel in disbelief. “I am Leader Ting’s close friend. Are you sure my invitation can’t grant me access?”
