The four of them met face-to-face.
Zhuang Nainai felt her heart tighten. She turned around and looked towards Si Jingyu.
He met his first wife while he was with his mistress. How guilty must this brother-in-law and mistress be feeling?
Zhuang Nainai straightened her back. Even though she wasn’t close to Si Jingyu, she was still part of Si Jingyu’s family.
Yet, Si Jingyu’s eyes shrank, her footsteps paused. She looked flustered but returned back to normal after a few seconds. She turned around and continued saying to Zhuang Nainai, “I used to like the dishes here. Whenever I am working for the Imperial Group, I make it a point to come here a few times every week. Their duck blood and beef tripe spicy soup, as well as their pan-fried bullfrog, are their signature dishes.”
Si Jingyu acted as if she didn’t see the other party. Her gestures obviously showed a slight sense of guilt, causing Zhuang Nainai, who was already prepared to fight, to feel a little helpless.
She slightly wrinkled her brows. At this moment, Shi Jinyan had already walked over with that woman.
It seemed like he wasn’t expecting to run into them here. He paused his footsteps, then knitted his brows. He subconsciously turned and glanced at the woman beside him. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, yet Si Jingyu diverted her gaze and spoke, interrupting him.
As such, the situation turned out to be like this.
Si Jingyu pulled Zhuang Nainai away and they both stood at the side. Shi Jinyan stopped in his tracks and stood right in front of them. He moved his mouth again, stared at Si Jingyu, and was about to speak. At this moment, Si Jingyu smiled. “Sir, please make way and let us pass through.”
Sir?
A stern and angry look swept across Shi Jinyan’s deep gaze. At the same time, he felt a sense of frustration rising from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Si Jingyu turned her body sideways and intended to walk past them from their side.
Shi Jinyan pressed his lips together tightly without saying a single word. His gaze let out a dejected look.
Just as Shi Jinyan and Si Jingyu were about to act as if they were strangers, the woman beside Shi Jinyan suddenly spoke. “Ms. Si.”
As soon as that woman opened her mouth, Zhuang Nainai sensed that Si Jingyu’s body had stiffened. She initially wanted to walk away but stood rooted to the ground instead.
Zhuang Nainai knitted her brows.
The first wife had already intended to let them off, what was this mistress doing?
She turned around and saw that woman walking towards them.
That woman was in very good shape. Wearing a one-piece dress, the big belt made her waist look even more slender and made her appear even slimmer.
She walked and stood in front of Si Jingyu. After staring at each other for a few seconds, that woman then extended her hand. “Ms. Si, we’ve not seen each other for so long, I almost couldn’t recognize you. I’m Bai Yue, I came back half a year ago. I’m currently working in the human resources department of Jinyan’s company.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai felt a bolt of pain in her fingers. She turned around. Although Si Jingyu was expressionless, she was holding onto Zhuang Nainai’s hand tightly as she unconsciously exerted strength.
Si Jingyu fell silent instantly before saying, “I know. I still have something on, I’ll take my leave first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Zhuang Nainai again and walked ahead.
When the two of them had disappeared, Bai Yue then turned towards Shi Jinyan and smiled. “What is she afraid of?”
Shi Jinyan turned to look at Si Jingyu’s back. Upon hearing this, he turned around and looked at Bai Yue with a deep gaze that no one could understand, one that made people apprehensive. He then made his way out.
