How had Zhuang Nainai responded to his question back then?
When Si Zhengting thought about this, he could not help but let out a mocking laugh internally.
She had been very surprised then and answered,
Isn’t it obvious? Of course, my mother is more important!

After replying, she felt that she had not conveyed her feelings appropriately. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his.
Of course, my mother comes first, and you, second!

So…


He was second in her eyes.
So when her mother needed money for the operation, she could give him up and prioritize her mother over him without any hesitation.
Even though he knew that if he were placed in the same position, he could not have done any better…
Even though he knew that she was innocent in this matter and that she had had no choice back then but to do what she had done…
Si Zhengting could not help but pity himself for being the person who had been cast aside.
He curled his hands into fists. He knew that he should move on from what had happened in the past and forgive her, as he could not live without her. However, the jealousy in his heart became more intense.
This was especially so since Zhuang Nainai was recounting what happened in the past to him so matter-of-factly and guiltlessly. He felt even more stifled as a result.
His gaze grew colder, and he could only rely on his calm demeanor to mask his disappointment.
Zhuang Nainai could not possibly understand the internal conflict within Si Zhengting’s heart.
Seeing how he did not say more after acknowledging that he knew about her mother’s accident, she continued,
I would not have taken the money but for my mother’s…



He interrupted coldly and with a domineering air,
But you took it in the end.

Zhuang Nainai was taken aback.
What he said was too tragic and stirred up too many emotions.
Although he had tried very hard to hide it, she could sense the resentment over being cast aside in his tone.
She looked at Si Zhengting with surprise, as though she were trying to attest that he had said those words to her.
As Si Zhengting kept staring at her, she looked over and met his gaze.
She caught the brief flash of hurt across his deep, dark eyes.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart caught at that flash of hurt that she had witnessed.
As she was trying to guess at what Si Zhengting was thinking about, he suddenly pulled a drawer open and retrieved a card from it. His long fingers elegantly placed the card before Zhuang Nainai.
There’s $10,000,000 in this.

Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows, not understanding what he meant by that. Then, she heard the most devastating words in the world.


He said,
Zhuang Nainai, the $30,000 you accepted back then had ended our relationship of three years. That means that the cost of our relationship averaged $10,000 each year. I’m using the $10,000,000 here to ensure that we’ll have nothing to do with each other for the next 100 years.

All of a sudden, the room fell deathly silent.
Zhuang Nainai widened her eyes, staring at Si Zhengting in disbelief.
She felt that she had misheard him; she was definitely hearing things.
How could Si Zhengting say such a thing to her?
The card on the table ruthlessly confirmed her worst fears – this was the reality.
She lowered her hands, curling them into fists, her body trembling slightly. She felt sarcasm attacking her from all sides – it felt as though she was about to stop breathing from the pain.
How was he any different from his mother?
Was he only capable of using his wealth to ridicule others?!.
