Si Zhengting suddenly felt a wave of pity for how he had been in this relationship.
Looking at Zhuang Nainai, he saw a gaze full of hatred.
That gaze was the last straw!
The angrier he was, the colder his expression got. What he said thereafter was now a point of regret every single time it came to mind.
He said, “What right do I have? Zhuang Nainai, who do you think you are? Don’t forget how you betrayed our relationship for $300,000. If I don’t monitor you, who’s to say that you won’t betray our marriage once more for another $300,000?”
Upon saying this, he gave a cold laugh. “Oh wait, you’ve already betrayed me. Not only have you stolen the Imperial Group’s design drafts, but you’re now also framing TZ.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai felt a rage burning in her heart. Especially angered by his last sentence, she violently shouted, “Si! Zheng! Ting! It’s fine if you don’t trust me, but I do have my limits!”
Limits?
Si Zhengting suddenly felt immensely mocked. “Betraying me for $300,000 isn’t your limit yet?!”
The $300,000 again!
In the midst of her anger, Zhuang Nainai suddenly understood that everything stemmed from that $300,000!
She was unable to resist it any longer. It was her who had been wronged; what right did he have to use it again and again as a reason to hurt her?!
Lowering her shaky voice, she began to speak without reserve. “Si Zhengting, I’ve never wronged you! Between the two of us, you’re the one who’s been in the wrong! I deserved to take that $300,000 because it was your mother’s compensation to us! It has absolutely nothing to do with us breaking up!”
Just as she said this, Si Zhengting stiffened. “What do you mean?”
Zhuang Nainai hung her head low, her fists clenched and her body shaking. Feeling her back turning cold from getting worked up over the past being brought up, she tried to suppress her rage and spoke as calmly as possible. “That year, I didn’t break up with you over that $300,000.”
“Then why?” Si Zhengting heart trembled, suddenly filling with hope.
Zhuang Nainai lifted her head, her eyes red. With all her might, she pushed down her feelings. “Because you didn’t love me.”
He hadn’t loved her?
Si Zhengting felt as if he had just heard the biggest joke in the world. “I didn’t love you?”
He could not resist firing back that question. But in those moments, he felt as if his heart was emptying out.
He had given his whole heart to her, and that hadn’t been enough love for her?
His voice suddenly started choking up. “What has me not loving you got to do with that $300,000?”
“Yes, they have nothing to do with each other. The reason why I took that $300,000 was because the person who caused my mother to be in a car accident was your very own mother!”
Si Zhengting’s gaze sharpened upon hearing this. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t spout nonsense!”
Madam Ding might have a weird temper, but she would have never done something like that!
She lived an upright life, and she had only pretended to coerce Zhuang Nainai because she had not been one to believe in love.
She had raised him up, and so Si Zhengting was clear as to how she was like.
Spout nonsense?
Zhuang Nainai paused, but a thought flashed through her head, Indeed!
How could he suspect his mother just because of something she said?
