But her wrist was soon caught by Zuo Yiyi. Zuo Yiyi dug her sharp nails into Zhuang Nainai’s wrist, and the latter furrowed her brow in response.
Zuo Yiyi snorted, “Zhuang Nainai, Brother Ting has been nothing but nice to you. How could you have stolen the Imperial Group’s design drafts and given them to the Gu Corporation? Do you still have a conscience? How could you have let Brother Ting down?”
Let him down?
Why did everyone find fault with her and question her? Why hadn’t a single person manage to tell her, without any hesitation, that they believed in her?
Zhuang Nainai had been highly irritable as of late, and she was facing setbacks in every single thing that she did. Together, these made her more angry than usual. At the moment, due to the misunderstanding she had about Zuo Yiyi’s current attire, she clenched her fist!
At the side, Su Yanbin furrowed his brows. He walked up and asked, “Zuo Yiyi, what are you…”
He was held back and cut off by Liu Bingxing. “Why are you trying to meddle in the affairs of these women?”
As Su Yanbin was about to step forward, Zhuang Nainai took action.
She caught hold of Zuo Yiyi’s hand and yanked hard. Zuo Yiyi staggered forward in her high heels. Although Zuo Yiyi was a couple of inches taller than Zhuang Nainai, the former felt smaller because of the aura that the latter was projecting!
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes. “Zuo Yiyi, are you done making a scene?”
Zuo Yiyi was taken aback. She hurriedly gritted her teeth. “I’m not! Let me tell you…”
“Tell me what? What business do you have dabbling in my affairs with them?”
On the other hand, once Liu Bingxing saw that Zuo Yiyi no longer had the upper hand, he let go of Su Yanbin and tried to move forward to help Zuo Yiyi. However, he was stopped by Su Yanbin. “Why are you trying to meddle in the affairs of these women?”
Liu Bingxing was speechless.
Zuo Yiyi’s face was flushed from being scolded, her body trembling with anger.
Zuo Yiyi clenched her fists and glared at Zhuang Nainai. “On my authority as Si Zhengting’s female companion for the night!”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed.
Before she could retort, Zuo Yiyi started to lecture her coldly, “Zhuang Nainai, don’t think that you can lead a life devoid of worry just because you’re married to Brother Ting. Seeing how pathetic you are now, it’s only a matter of time before Brother Ting realizes that he doesn’t want you as his wife any longer! Someday, he’ll divorce you!”
Brother Ting doesn’t want you as his wife…
These words affected the nerve that was buried in the deepest corner of her heart, and they also reopened the greatest emotional wound that she had ever experienced.
It was like what had happened five years ago. It was also Zuo Yiyi who had said such hurtful words, dashing the beautiful dreams of love that Zhuang Nainai had conjured up in her imagination. It had been those words that had caused Zhuang Nainai to realize that her three years of pursuing Si Zhengting romantically and the year-long romantic relationship that they had were fake.
He had never liked her.
And now… he had never really loved her, had he?
If not, he wouldn’t have misunderstood her so deeply and mistrusted her.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes quickly grew red. She widened her eyes, willing the tears that had welled up not to fall. Her bloodshot eyes were full of rage and despair. “Zuo Yiyi, I know you’re eagerly looking to ascend through the ranks and for us to get a divorce. I’m telling you that it’s going to happen soon!”
Zuo Yiyi was shocked. “What do you mean?”
Zhuang Nainai looked at her and smiled coldly. The smile was sarcastic yet miserable. “You’re right, I was never from the same world as you both. I’ll never be a part of it. I’m going to get a divorce, are you happy now?”
As she heard this, Zuo Yiyi was shocked. “Zhuang Nainai, what madness are you spouting?!”
Zhuang Nainai pushed her away forcefully, then turned and strode off toward the event venue haughtily.
