Si Zhengting stood outside the door. His initially calm demeanor grew turbulent after he heard Gu Xingshan’s words!
Was the most important person to Zhuang Nainai Mother Zhuang?
He stood motionless as he watched the events unfurl in the living room.
Zhuang Nainai’s back was to Si Zhengting. She didn’t know that he was there. Her brow arched when she heard what Gu Xingshan said, her hands clenching into fists as she replied,
What did you say? Say it again if you dare!

Gu Xingshan had always referred to Mother Zhuang as a
mistress,
and this was testing Zhuang Nainai’s patience!


If she didn’t teach Gu Xingshan a lesson today, she didn’t deserve to be Mother Zhuang’s daughter!
Gu Xingshan was frightened by Zhuang Nainai’s tone of voice, and she was scared speechless for a while. But after she noticed Si Zhengting standing behind Zhuang Nainai, Gu Xingshan gritted her teeth and yelled,
What? Was I wrong to say that? Father said that someone had asked you to request for Brother-in-law to help to design this year’s winter clothes. In return, Father promised that he would let you video-call Zhuang Meiting. Because of her, you stole Brother-in-law’s company’s design drafts for us! Don’t you know that what you did harmed our family? Zhuang Nainai, how could you do this to us?

This person spoke so carelessly and turned lies into truths!
Zhuang Nainai was hopping mad!
Before Zhuang Nainai could respond, Gu Xingshan started crying and wailed,
Zhuang Nainai, don’t you resent the Gu family? You didn’t want to marry Brother-in-law, but you did so because you were forced to by the Gu family in the interest of the family heritage. Don’t you resent Father for sending Zhuang Meiting overseas for fear that you would escape your marriage again?

After she said this, Gu Xingshan noticed Si Zhengting’s expression getting darker and darker. A flash of elation coursed through Gu Xingshan. She didn’t wait for Zhuang Nainai to respond but continued wailing,
But no matter what Father and Mother do, they’re still your parents! Whenever you return home, you always say that you want to divorce Brother-in-law because he’s too scary and he makes you live on tenterhooks every day. You even shower him with false love and affection, and that makes you tired. Father has already promised you that you only had to bear with it for a while longer, but why did you have to hurt us like this?! Gu Qingyan! You’re so vicious! How could you face Father and Mother and Brother-in-law like this?!

She said everything in a fit of anger, then lowered her head and sobbed quietly. Before Zhuang Nainai could speak, Gu Xingshan interrupted again, directing her words to the person standing behind Zhuang Nainai,
Brother-in-law, Sister stole the design drafts. The Gu Corporation didn’t know anything about that, please don’t be angry with us as we’re innocent, alright?

Brother-in-law?!
Zhuang Nainai suddenly realized that something was up and whipped her head around — she saw Si Zhengting standing right behind her!
His gaze was dark, and numerous emotions were swirling in his eyes.


His hands were lowered to his sides and clenched into fists, as though he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
Zhuang Nainai was frightened by the gaze he was directing at her. She knew that Gu Xingshan’s half-truths had triggered Si Zhengting, but upon thinking about the lengthy explanation she had to do, she felt overwhelmed and she didn’t know where to begin.
Her thought process went into overdrive as she tried to think of an explanation. She decided to go ahead with the most important point first and shouted,
I didn’t steal the design drafts!

After she said that, she moved forward and stretched out her hand, intending to catch hold of Si Zhengting’s elbow.
At that moment, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable fear penetrating the depths of her heart!
She knew that the best liars were those who manage to formulate lies that were 90% true and 10% false. Gu Xingshan had indeed managed to come up with such a formulation, such that Zhuang Nainai was unable to refute some of the things that she had said!
