Zhuang Nainai woke from her slumber.
It was all dark in the room. She could not tell if it was day or night.
She reached out for her phone to check the time, but her whole body was aching as if she had been run over by a truck.
The scenes from the previous night flooded her mind. She was instantly awake and sat up in a flash.
She could see herself sitting on a huge dream-like bed in the dim light.
But the room was empty.
She sat dazed for a while before dragging her tired body out of bed. She drew open the curtains, and the room brightened instantly.
She fished for her phone next to the pillow and looked at it. Before she could read the time, she noticed that she had more than a dozen missed calls.
They were all from one person. Manager Wang.
Zhuang Nainai was confused for a moment, but it suddenly struck her. Oh no!
She took a five-day leave from work to go after Si Zhengting. It appeared that today was… the day she had to go back to work.
She then looked at the time. It was already 10 am!
Zhuang Nainai washed up in a flurry and put on the outfit from yesterday. She then grabbed her phone and ran out.
When she turned to close the door, she suddenly realized how the enormous bed clashed with the rest of the room.
A thought flashed quickly through her mind.
But time was pressing and she had none to lose. She shut the door and dashed down the stairs.
The butler greeted her respectfully. “Madam.”
Zhuang Nainai paused in her steps and realized that the greeting was directed at her. She waved at the butler and replied, “Well, I need to get to work, so… are there any bus stops around here?”
She pointed outside.
The butler raised his brows but kept his comments to himself. He nodded his head and said, “I will prepare the ride for you right away.”
“Erm, there’s really no need for the trouble… I can take the bus, it’s all the same.”
“But there are no buses around here.”
Zhuang Nainai was resigned and accepted the offer. This was a residential area for the wealthy. Everyone got around by cars. How could there be any form of cheap public transport here?
Zhuang Nainai got on the car even though she was not used to it and rushed to work without her breakfast.
Half a year ago, when she graduated from university, she started working at a wedding planning agency. It paid well and she was satisfied, so she had no intention of quitting her job even though she was Mrs. Si now.
Neither Si Zhengting nor tending to the home would give her a sense of security. She had to work for her keep to feel at ease.
Her phone rang and disrupted her thoughts. Zhuang Nainai picked it up to hear Manager Wang’s anxious voice on the other side. “Zhuang Nainai! Are you planning on not working anymore? A customer has named you to be their planner and has waited here for you for an hour! Do you still want your job?”
Zhuang Nainai replied appeasingly, “I will be right there! Give me ten minutes!”
“Hurry!”
“Yes!”
She hung up and the phone rang again. It was a text message this time around. “Hello, your DNA paternity testing results had been sent to your email. Please acknowledge your receipt.”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed.
Ever since Gu Deshou had brought her back to the Gu family, she had had lots of suspicions and doubts. Therefore, she stole a hair from Gu Deshou and anonymously requested a paternity test herself. The results were finally out.
Was she really his daughter?
