Si Zheng Ting who is standing in the doorway is furious beyond belief upon hearing Gu Xing Shan’s words.
So in her heart, the most important person has always been Zhuang Mama?
He stands there motionlessly, watching everything that is unfolding.
Zhuang Nai Nai has her back against Si Zheng Ting, so she is completely unaware of his presence. She frowns as she fists her hands when she hears Gu Xing Shan, “What did you say? I dare you to repeat it!”
The way Gu Xing Shan keeps calling her mother a mistress makes Zhuang Nai Nai so angry.
If she does not teach this Gu Xing Shan a lesson today, she does not deserve to be called Zhuang Mama’s daughter.
Gu Xing Shan is shocked when she hears that. She originally does not have the guts to continue speaking, but when she sees Si Zheng Ting standing by the door, she bites her lips, gathering her courage, “What? Was I wrong? Didn’t dad asked you to ask for brother-in-law’s designer’s help for our company’s upcoming release; didn’t he promise you to let you video chat with Zhuang Meiting in return? You actually stole brother-in-law’s company’s design drafts for that woman! Did you know that you have harmed our Gu Family by doing so? How could you do this to us, Zhuang Nai Nai?”
What a way to reverse the situation!
Zhuang Nai Nai almost loses her mind from anger.
Just as she is about to speak, the weeping Gu Xing Shan cuts her off, “Didn’t you hate our family, Zhuang Nai Nai? You were forced to marry brother-in-law even though you weren’t willing to. Didn’t you hate dad for sending Zhuang Meiting abroad because he was scared that you would try to run off again?”
The face of the man standing behind Zhuang Nai Nai turns even darker. A trace of pleasure flashes inside Gu Xing Shan’s eyes. She continues weeping, “But still, no matter what our parents did, they are still our parents. Everytime you come home, you tell us you want to divorce brother-in-law, saying that he is too scary and that you feel really stressed out living with him. You also said that you are too tired pretending to be nice to him. Didn’t dad promised to give you what you want as long as you endure just a little bit longer? Why did you still harm us, then? Gu Qing Yan, you are too poisonous! You have wronged our parents, you have wronged brother-in-law!”
After saying that, Gu Xing Shan lowers her head and starts weeping pitifully. Then, she rushes towards the man behind Zhuang Nai Nai, saying, “Brother-in-law, she is the one who stole the drafts! None of us back home knew what she did, please do not blame us for her wrongdoing!”
Brother-in-law?
Zhuang Nai Nai quickly turns around and finds Si Zheng Ting standing behind her.
His eyes are stormy and complex.
He fists his hands tightly, trying his best to suppress his anger.
She looks at him, alarmed, knowing now, that Gu Xing Shan had spouted those half-truths-and-half-lies to mislead him. She wants to explain herself to him, but the words refuse to come out of her mouth.
First thing first, and perhaps, the most important of all, she says, “I did not steal the drafts!”
After saying that, she makes a move towards him and grabs hold of his arm, her heart unwittingly panicking.
She knows that the most dangerous and effective lie of them all is when one speaks nine truths with one lie. Gu Xing Shan’s arguments have been too solid that she cannot, for the life of her, figure out what to say.
