Knocked unsteady by the momentum of the door, Zhuang Nainai stumbled backward and only regained her balance after Si Zhengting steadied her from behind. Furrowing her brows, she was about to say something when she heard Si Zhengting’s voice.
Madam Gu, please watch yourself. My wife is very delicate.

My wife…

He had placed particular emphasis on these two words, and coupled with his unpleasant demeanor, Li Yufeng was stunned by him.
Li Yufeng was unlike Gu Deshou, who was willing to lower himself in front of his son-in-law for the sake of his company. She had her own pride, and even though she was now under pressure from Si Zhengting, she raised her head and spoke in a voice full of forced authority.
Mr. Si, I know how capable you are. But I’m her mother, which means that I’m your mother-in-law. I think you know your manners.

Si Zhengting continued to hold Zhuang Nainai.
My mother-in-law is the mother that Nainai recognizes as her own.



Li Yufeng was greatly angered by this. Clenching her teeth and glaring at Si Zhengting, she gave a cold huff, turned, and left.
Room 3505 was near their room, and so Zhuang Nainai could already hear sounds of an argument going on even before she closed the door.
Li Yufeng was now speaking through sobs while Gu Deshou’s voice was weak. Zhuang Nainai didn’t catch their conversation, but she suddenly heard Li Yufeng say sharply,
She’s gone missing? It’s good of her to have gone missing! A btch like that doesn’t have the right to break up our family! Let me tell you, Gu Deshou, she might be dead in some corner for all you know! You’ll never find her! She…


Slap!

Before Li Yufeng could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a loud slap.
Zhuang Nainai had originally wanted to go confront Li Yufeng after hearing all the curses Li Yufeng made against her mother, but the sound of the slap made her stop in her tracks.
Then, there was a sharp cry from Li Yufeng.
Gu Deshou, you dared to hit me!

It was a mess; there was sobbing from Li Yufeng, and Gu Deshou was speaking in a low voice.
But Zhuang Nainai had no interest in finding out what was happening.
Li Yufeng was just another pitiable woman.


Turning around, Zhuang Nainai closed the room door.
—
Li Yufeng didn’t leave after coming. Moving in with Gu Deshou, she hounded him with sarcastic remarks, and no matter how much Gu Deshou tried to get her to go back, she refused.
She stayed with him like this for five days.
In these five days, there was absolutely no news of Mother Zhuang. A living person like her had seemingly simply vanished into thin air.
In the same five days, Zhuang Nainai saw how Si Zhengting was taking countless phone calls, but whenever she told him to go back before her, he refused to leave.
On the other hand, Gu Deshou, seemingly having decided to accept his fate, was now arguing with Li Yufeng less.
During one of those days, Zhuang Nainai was sitting in the hotel room and waiting for news about her mother when she saw Si Zhengting pick up his cell phone once again. Moving aside to pick up a call from Ji Chen, it was obvious, one way or another, that there was a big project that he had to personally attend to.
But Si Zhengting refused without hesitation.
I’ll take responsibility for this. If their CEO wants to meet me face to face, tell them that I won’t be working with them.

Ji Chen, on the other end of the line, was speechless at Mr. Si’s stubbornness.


But he knew how worried Mr. Si was for Madam, so he could only assent.
Watching as Si Zhengting put down the phone, Zhuang Nainai spoke once more.
If you have to attend to something, you can go back first.
