There was no turning back after having spoken until reaching this point. Zhuang Nainai continued, but her voice had grown weak by now. “I’m not spouting nonsense at all. She had gotten onto the taxi and allowed the chauffeur to run my mother over. She almost made me lose a family member! I know you don’t believe me, but I still want to let you know that I hate your mother, and I’ll never forgive her!”
She spoke with such conviction that her hate was so obvious and palpable…
Si Zhengting had no idea as to whether to trust her.
But a thought suddenly occurred to him. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “Was this the incident that happened on the day of our college entrance exam results?”
“Yes.” She had excitedly called him on that day, but Ding Mengya had been the one who answered her call. They had then met at midday, and the accident had happened later in the afternoon.
So no matter how much time passed from that accident, she was always able to clearly recall that very day.
But unexpectedly, Si Zhengting’s face immediately soured when he heard the word “Yes.”
Before Zhuang Nainai could understand what was going on, she saw him stride forward and felt him violently grab her by the neck!
Zhuang Nainai was shocked senseless. She could only feel how the fingers around her neck were tightening and how she was about to asphyxiate.
Forced to lift her head upwards and stare him straight in the eyes, she saw flames of anger in the slits of his pupils.
Zhuang Nainai heard his cold voice entering her ears. “Zhuang Nainai, do you know what I’m about to do?”
With uneven breaths, Zhuang Nainai held on tightly to his wrists. Stubbornly, she stood motionless and stared at his blood-red eyes.
He didn’t wait for Zhuang Nainai’s reply. Devoid of feeling, he raised his voice. “I really want to strangle you to death.”
The moment he said this, he felt her face turning red. With a sliver of regret in his eyes, he forcefully pushed her onto the sofa behind him!
As Zhuang Nainai gasped for air, she heard him continue.
“Zhuang Nainai, how stupid do you think I am to believe your lies?! First, you smear TZ, then now you frame my mother? What can’t you do for your Mother Zhuang?!”
He sounded sad and forlorn.
With that, he turned around, picked up his suit, and strode out.
Zhuang Nainai simply felt like her heart was being ripped apart.
She ever imagined how he would choose not to believe her and how he would react after telling him the truth.
She had expected him to ignore her, to divorce her, to argue with her, but never did she expect a reaction like this!
His distrust made her suddenly feel as if her world was breaking apart. In her confusion, it felt like she had gone back in time to five years ago, when her mother had just gotten into the accident. She had been waiting outside the operating theater anxiously, helpless and alone.
Back then, she only had one feeling. The feeling that the world had abandoned and given up on her.
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips tightly and forced down the sobs in her throat. Watching his silhouette from behind, she weakly shouted, “Si! Zheng! Ting!”
Si Zhengting walked on.
Zhuang Nainai then walked briskly to the doorway and grabbed Si Zhengting’s wrists. “You don’t have to go. The one who should leave is me!”
