Affect Our Relationship
Outside the "Colors Club"…
When Zhuang Nainai rushed out, Si Zhengting was waiting for his ride.
She briskly walked up to him, but she was once again blocked by his bodyguard. "Ms. Gu, please cooperate with us," Ji Chen, his executive assistant, pleaded.
Zhuang Nainai replied in the nicest tone she could manage, "Please let me go…"
Ji Chen grimaced. "Ms. Zhuang, please don't make it difficult for me."
Zhuang Nainai stared at the two towering bodyguards and knew the chance of passing through them by force was slim. She put on a pitiable expression. "Making it difficult for you? I should be the one saying that! I'm his fiancée, and we are merely having a little squabble. Your actions are going to affect our marital relationship!"
Ji Chen was lost for words again.
Zhuang Nainai tried to go around and past the bodyguard, but he shifted his weight and was once again blocking her way.
Si Zhengting boarded the car that had just arrived.
Zhuang Nainai panicked. "Get out of the way! Don't be dumb, I am the future wife of Mr. Si! I can be really petty and vindictive! Watch out if you get on my bad side!"
Ji Chen was lost for words again.
Watching Si Zhenting fast disappearing inside the car, Zhuang Nainai stomped in frustration. "You… you! How would you take responsibility if our marital relationship were to fail?"
Ji Chen did not know what to say. Ms. Zhuang, shouldn't you be married before you have a marital relationship?
Ji Chen waited for the car to get out of sight before waving to his bodyguards to leave with him.
What a difficult task of having to stop Ms. Zhuang without hurting her!
He deserves a pay raise!
Zhuang Nainai took a cab to the Imperial Group building, only to be informed that Si Zhengting never returned there.
She did not know where he lived in the big city. She had no way of contacting him.
He could not return to the office today, but he would tomorrow!
Zhuang Nainai walked out of the building with renewed fighting spirit. The bright sun shining outside made her feel a little drowsy.
She should go home to get a nap and try again tomorrow!
She was feeling drowsy when her phone rang.
The caller was her good friend, Lin Xi'er. "Nainai, could you come here quickly?"
Zhuang Nainai was startled. Could it be… mother's condition?
She immediately rushed to the road and sped home in a cab.
On the road, she was frantic with anxiety.
Her mother was in a car accident five years ago. She hurt her head and developed Alzheimer's disease. She forgot everything, everything apart from Zhuang Nainai.
This took a toll on the poor family of two, and it nearly crushed them. If it had not been for some kind-hearted samaritan's sponsorship, Zhuang Nainai would not have had a college education.
She was so desperate then, with nowhere to turn to.
Who would have thought that she, Zhuang Nainai, would now be the daughter of the Gu's?
The cab stopped in the rural Xibali village. Rows and rows of small houses lined the streets.
Zhuang Nainai hopped down from the car and saw a crowd of onlookers pointing at something.
Her heart jumped and she could barely stand still.
Did… something happen again?
She squeezed her way into the crowd. Her fists clenched tightly when she saw what was happening.
A middle-aged woman in her fifties stood in the center. Her hair was a mess, her eyes unfocused. She clutched a little girl in a tight embrace and cooed, "Nainai, Nainai, it's Mother, don't cry…"
