The lady at the door was in a flamboyant yet elegant red dress and had her silky black hair up in a top bun.
Age did not show on her. She looked to be thirty even though she was past fifty years of age. Apart from her accent of maturity, she shared the same delicate features as Si Zhengting.
She was a view to behold.
But Zhuang Nainai held her breath the moment she saw that figure.
Her hands were clenched in tight fists, and her body started to tremble uncontrollably.
That was her, Ding Mengya. Si Zhengting’s mother. Zhuang Nainai’s nightmare.
Zhuang Nainai stood fixed to the spot and felt as if time had been frozen right at that moment.
She looked up to look right into the other party’s eyes, a glint of anger, hatred, and sadness reflecting in her own.
She hated her. But… she was the mother of her loved one.
Zhuang Nainai did not know how to face her.
She saw Ding Mengya’s gaze travel past her body and then finally rest on her face. They stared at each other with heated intensity.
However, she then quickly averted her gaze and looked past Zhuang Nainai to focus on Si Zhengting, who was slowing walking forward. A teasing smile suddenly appeared on her cool face.
Brat, you keep putting off meeting with me, you leave me with no choice but to come visit uninvited!
Si Zhengting showed no smile, but his expressionless face softened at the sight of her. He made his way to stand next to Zhuang Nainai and acknowledged her with a simple grunt.
Ding Mengya gave a soft cough and turned to Zhuang Nainai with a face full of smiles.
You brat, aren’t you going to introduce me to your beautiful wife? Why are you hiding her from me?
Si Zhengting turned, gestured to Zhuang Nainai, and said,
Gu Qingyan.
He then looked towards Ding Mengya and said to Zhuang Nainai,
My mother, Ding Mengya.
Ding Mengya took a step towards the couple in her stilettos and held out her hand to Zhuang Nainai.
You are pretty like your name suggests!
It was no wonder her son favored his wife over her.
I heard you just returned to your family, it must have been hard out there all these years. But it’s alright now, you are leading a second life after you are married. Everything’s in the past now, have a great life with Zhengting from now on.
These words sounded somewhat harsh.
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows slightly, but Ding Mengya immediately made a face at Zhuang Nainai and continued,
However, if he’s bad to you, let me know, I will help you teach him a lesson!
This cheeky, roguish manner of speech was much more like Mrs. Ding.
Zhuang Nainai watched Ding Mengya and bit her lips in puzzlement. If she had only listened to her talk and not seen her face, she could have never made her out to be the same Ding Mengya from five years ago.
So this must be the way she acted in front of her son all the time. It was no wonder Si Zhengting spoke up for her so much.
What Ding Mengya had said just now would have sounded ordinary to any others. But that sentence,
Everything’s in the past now, have a great life with Zhengting from now on,
was definitely a warning from her!
