Si Zhengting was clad in a fitted suit, which accentuated his 1.8 meters of height, making him look even taller.
His appearance seemed to cause all the surrounding light to focus on him and everything else to lose its color.
He walked over step by step. No emotions were shown on his aloof and handsome face, making him look as cold as ice. His tall stature exuded an imposing aura, like that of a king that could make everyone submit.
Then, the people from the Gu family were all stunned as they looked at him, as if they had just seen a ghost.
Gu Xingshan stood there agape while Li Yufeng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
While everyone was still in a state of shock, Si Zhengting walked to Zhuang Nainai step by step and then held her shoulders. He looked at the people in front and nodded slightly at Gu Deshou, which signified his greetings.
If someone other than him had shown such disrespectful, arrogant, and tyrannical behavior, he would have been chased out of the in-laws’ place.
But, this person was Si Zhengting. No one would dare to do that to him.
Gu Deshou stepped forward excitedly as he fawned over him.
Mr. Si, you are actually here? Qingyan, this child is too much, how could she not say a word? Her mother and sister were worried for her because of this.
Worried?
Zhuang Nainai raised her brows. Wasn’t that taunting?
She had wanted to make a sarcastic repartee, but the warmth on her shoulders reminded her of Si Zhengting’s presence beside her.
Zhuang Nainai pressed her lips together and remained silent. Although she disliked this home and its family members, she did not want to embarrass herself in front of Si Zhengting.
Moreover… this was probably the first time she and Si Zhengting were visiting her parental home, so there was no need to cause a ruckus, was there?
Zhuang Nainai kept mum; hence, Gu Deshou heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Si Zhengting and moved out of the way immediately to invite him into the villa. However, Si Zhengting suddenly said,
It’s my fault for visiting without prior notice. She has nothing to do with this.
His words were nonchalant, without a single shred of emotion. However, it caused Gu Deshou to break out in cold sweat instantly.
He suddenly realized that he had said something wrong.
He had pushed the blame to Zhuang Nainai, but Zhuang Nainai had not said that they were wrong. Then, wasn’t there something more wrong about Mr. Si’s uninvited visit?
As he wiped the cold perspiration on his forehead, he felt as if he was in an icehouse all of a sudden.
On the other hand, after Si Zhengting finished speaking to Gu Deshou, he turned around and looked at Li Yufeng and Gu Xingshan.
Thank you for the special ‘concern,’ but your opinions of my relationship with my wife and the upbringing of Mrs. Si are not needed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yufeng was heated with anger. She had wanted to say something but was stopped by Gu Xingshan.
Gu Xingshan’s face was slightly pale. Staring at Si Zhengting, she said with trembling lips moments later,
Mr-Mr. Si, we didn’t mean it that way. We dare not question Mrs. Si’s upbringing. We just-just…
She could not think of what else to say.
During a critical moment like this, Gu Deshou rushed out to clear up the mess.
Mr. Si, it’s just immature kids spouting nonsense. Also, I said something wrong just now. This is Qingyan’s home, which means it’s Mr. Si’s home too. Nobody is at fault here, why is it wrong for both of you to come home? Please hurry in. I told the housekeeper to cook up a feast because both of you are coming home for a meal!
Though Gu Deshou gestured for Si Zhengting to enter, he did not dare to really surround and rush him in.
Meanwhile, Si Zhengting did not start moving. Instead, he turned to look at Zhuang Nainai.
