Chapter 874: Xiao Caibai’s Here to Visit (4)
Xiao Caibai said languidly, “It appears I have made a faux pas coming here, seeing that things have turned out like this.”
After she said this, she turned to Cheng Sizhe and smiled. “Thankfully, we were playmates in our childhood. If you really don’t like me in that way and have to turn down this engagement, we can still remain friends, right? I’ve come all this way to Beijing, and I should be considered as your guest. You should be able to find me a place to stay for a month and a half, right?”
A tinge of haughtiness laced her otherwise gentle and deep voice, but somehow, she didn’t sound annoying.
Cheng Sizhe scratched his forehead in deliberation. “Fine, I’ll treat you to a meal sometime.”
It was only then that Xiao Caibai nodded. Then she walked off without another word.
When she got to the entrance, she turned around and looked at Zhuang Nainai as though she was doing so in jest. “Ms. Zhuang, about the event the last time around, I apologize. I had treated you that way to protect my own ego. You know… everyone had found out that I was rejected by my finance. And since my fiance, at that time, was still bringing another date to that same event, I had to do something to save my ego. If it wasn’t you that day, it would have been someone else. My malice wasn’t directed at you personally.”
Zhuang Nainai: “…”
Xiao Caibai had just addressed the issue so candidly. Zhuang Nainai didn’t know how to react.
Should she say that she would forgive Xiao Caibai? She wasn’t Mother Mary. She had almost knelt down before a considerably large audience. Was she really going to forgive her just like that?
Should she not forgive Xiao Caibai instead? But she had been so candid. If Zhuang Nainai were to harp on it, it would make her seem petty.
Zhuang Nainai realized at that moment that her glib tongue was no match for someone with a formidable family background!
She opened her mouth, and in the end, smiled as she said, “I understand.”
Xiao Caibai left.
Just as she left the company, Vian took a step forward. “Madam, you’re leaving just like that?”
Xiao Caibai smiled. “Run a check on Zhuang Nainai. I feel like she’s an interesting person.”
Vian was taken aback. It took her a moment before she was able to respond, “Understood.”

After Xiao Caibai left, Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt as though the ventilation in the room had improved!
She took a deep breath, then looked up to see Cheng Sizhe smiling at her.
Zhuang Nainai smiled awkwardly, then heard Cheng Sizhe say, “It’s normal that you are stressed in front of her. This person doesn’t understand the concept of retreating and is too arrogant. You should keep your distance from her. You’re from different worlds.”
Zhuang Nainai noticed that his tone was still rather pleasant. She inferred that their relationship was still pretty good.
Cheng Sizhe stared at Zhuang Nainai curiously. “Aren’t you thinking of taking revenge? Since we don’t have any objectives currently, we can seriously consider it.”
Zhuang Nainai sighed. “Actually, I’ve thought a lot about it. But the problem is, I don’t have any opportunity to put my thoughts to good use.”
Cheng Sizhe was curious. “Could you tell me about your idea?”
Zhuang Nainai suddenly got embarrassed. She told Cheng Sizhe about her idea.
After Cheng Sizhe heard what she had to say, he laughed involuntarily. He looked at Zhuang Nainai. After a while, he shook his head. “Your idea…”
“It’s bad?”
Cheng Sizhe didn’t know what to say. He ended up saying, “It’s not that it’s bad, but it’s not…”
…vicious enough.
As he had grown up in a rich and powerful family, he had experienced many things. Zhuang Nainai’s way of taking revenge was roundabout and not vicious enough. The most important thing was that it might not succeed…
