But her wrist was soon caught by Zuo Yiyi. Zuo Yiyi dug her sharp nails into Zhuang Nainaiâs wrist, and the latter furrowed her brow in response.
Zuo Yiyi snorted, âZhuang Nainai, Brother Ting has been nothing but nice to you. How could you have stolen the Imperial Groupâs design drafts and given them to the Gu Corporation? Do you still have a conscience? How could you have let Brother Ting down?â
Let him down?
Why did everyone find fault with her and question her? Why hadnât 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 Yiyiâs current attire, she clenched her fist!
At the side, Su Yanbin furrowed his brows. He walked up and asked, âZuo Yiyi, what are you...â
He was held back and cut off by Liu Bingxing. âWhy are you trying to meddle in the affairs of these women?â
As Su Yanbin was about to step forward, Zhuang Nainai took action.
She caught hold of Zuo Yiyiâs 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. âZuo Yiyi, are you done making a scene?â
Zuo Yiyi was taken aback. She hurriedly gritted her teeth. âIâm not! Let me tell you...â
âTell me what? What business do you have dabbling in my affairs with them?â
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. âWhy are you trying to meddle in the affairs of these women?â
Liu Bingxing was speechless.
Zuo Yiyiâs face was flushed from being scolded, her body trembling with anger.
Zuo Yiyi clenched her fists and glared at Zhuang Nainai. âOn my authority as Si Zhengtingâs female companion for the night!â
Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes narrowed.
Before she could retort, Zuo Yiyi started to lecture her coldly, âZhuang Nainai, donât think that you can lead a life devoid of worry just because youâre married to Brother Ting. Seeing how pathetic you are now, itâs only a matter of time before Brother Ting realizes that he doesnât want you as his wife any longer! Someday, heâll divorce you!â
Brother Ting doesnât want you as his wife...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
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 wouldnât have misunderstood her so deeply and mistrusted her.
Zhuang Nainaiâs 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. âZuo Yiyi, I know youâre eagerly looking to ascend through the ranks and for us to get a divorce. Iâm telling you that itâs going to happen soon!â
Zuo Yiyi was shocked. âWhat do you mean?â
Zhuang Nainai looked at her and smiled coldly. The smile was sarcastic yet miserable. âYouâre right, I was never from the same world as you both. Iâll never be a part of it. Iâm going to get a divorce, are you happy now?â
As she heard this, Zuo Yiyi was shocked. âZhuang Nainai, what madness are you spouting?!â
Zhuang Nainai pushed her away forcefully, then turned and strode off toward the event venue haughtily.
