But seeing how Zhuang Nainai’s eyes had lit up, Cheng Sizhe didn’t continue with his train of thought.
In the end, Cheng Sizhe smiled. He handed an invitation to the socializing event to her. “The design industry is going to hold an event. Since our company has nothing much to do anyway, you can go and participate in it.”
The design industry?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes gleamed. If it was a socializing event for those in the design industry, then Mi Nuo would be there as well!
Then…
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists. It was time for her to take revenge!
Mi Nuo, this time, I’ll make you pay the price for your actions!

This socializing event was being held on the fourth floor of the Beijing Hotel.
The event location was resplendent. The guests were all designers, so the entire hall was very clean and bustling with intellectuality.
Zhuang Nainai was wearing a light blue dress. It made her seem intellectual and beautiful.
There were many world-renowned designers at the event. Zhuang Nainai did not manage to stand out from this crowd.
She walked around the hall twice and saw that Mi Nuo was really present at the event. Then she narrowed her eyes and walked toward Mi Nuo.
But after taking two steps, someone tapped on her shoulder. She turned and saw Si Jingyu standing behind her.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up immediately. “Sister, why are you here?”
Si Jingyu’s smile was good-natured. She didn’t carry an aura of ferocity, unlike Xiao Caibai, but somehow, she carried herself in a way that made people take her seriously. After she heard this, she smiled. “I’m here as a representative of TZ.”
That’s right, Si Jingyu was TZ, and she was a world-renowned designer. How could she miss such an event?
If she was here, then… what about him?
Ever since she had left the villa the last time around, she had not seen Si Zhengting. She didn’t even know if he was well again.
But she couldn’t bring herself to ask about him directly. So she gently probed, “You don’t look so good. What’s the matter?”
Si Jingyu sighed. “Zhengting has handed the management of the company’s affairs to me. I’ve just taken over and I’m not well-acquainted with them, so I’m still trying to figure things out.”
Before she could say the name of the person on her mind, she suddenly spoke the name of that person. At that moment, Zhuang Nainai felt her heart twist.
She wanted to ask more and to show concern about how he was doing, but somehow, the words she uttered were, “Oh, then you have to take care of yourself.”
Si Jingyu nodded. Then she looked at Zhuang Nainai and explained, “Si Zhengting’s a lot better. You don’t have to worry.”
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. It took a moment before she murmured her assent.
Si Jingyu looked at Zhuang Nainai and sighed. She changed the topic. “I’ve heard that you’ve started a design studio and you’ve met with some problems. Is that true?”
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips.
She heard?
Who had she heard this from?
From him?
So did he still worry about her from time to time?
She felt as though she was possessed by a devil — she couldn’t stop thinking about him. So she shook her head.
She didn’t feel embarrassed with Si Jingyu. She held Si Jingyu’s elbow and said, “Right, I need you to act a scene out with me!”
Si Jingyu nodded. The two of them walked to one side of the hall. Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and said something to her sister.
Just then, two people walked into the hall.
The person in front had her head arrogantly lifted. There was someone following behind her, his face full of pockmarks and his head lowered. It was obvious that the woman was the pockmark-faced man’s leader. As she walked, she chastised him, “Xu Dazhi, let me tell you this. If you embarrass me today, I won’t take you out for an event ever again!”
