There wasn’t even a shred of respect for her; he had never bothered asking for her opinion on anything.

What did he treat her as?

Just because he liked her, did that mean he could deceive her and hide things from her?!

Did he know how much she had worried herself over the issue of the design drafts and whether she had to go to jail for it?

Did he ever take her words to heart? She had told him that she wanted a divorce. She didn’t want the marriage to be maintained through such means. All she wanted... was sincerity and trust.

If he were to tell her that he loved her, and that he would trust her unconditionally, she would stay for him!

Zhuang Nainai’s tears rose to her eyes. She wanted him to make her stay, but not through methods like these.

Yet, this marriage had reached its end a long time ago.

It started off on unequal footing, and it remained that way.

Zhuang Nainai was angry, yet touched... and her wavering heart descended into even more chaos.

What was she supposed to do now?

Zhuang Nainai held her head in her hands and slowly sat down on the sofa in the study room.

Did she want this marriage to continue or not?

Annoyed, she scratched her head, feeling to urge to rush to Si Zhengting and ask him what exactly he was thinking. But... would he tell her the truth?

Zhuang Nainai made a bitter expression, but then her gaze suddenly grew resolved.

She was going to look for her mother no matter what. Since she couldn’t make up her mind at the moment, perhaps it was better for both of them to be apart from each other for a while. Then, they could calm down and think about what to do...

Having thought this, she picked up her passport and rushed into the guest bedroom. After packing a few sets of clothes into her bag, she dashed out.

The butler was perplexed. “Madam, where are you going?”

Zhuang Nainai didn’t look back. “America!”

She was going to look for her mother! At this very moment, she missed her mother immensely, her mother who could always give her positivity and advice!

“Thud!”

She rushed out of the Si residence!

“Madam, Madam!” The butler followed her closely, stopping her. “Madam, where are you going? Have you... told Sir yet? If you haven’t, I won’t dare to let you go!”

Zhuang Nainai looked at him and bit her lips. “If I tell you, will you let me go?”

“Yes, I will, Madam.”

“Then I’ll tell you, but don’t you go tell Si Zhengting!”

“Okay!”

“If you do tell him, you’ll become a horrid old dog demon!”

“... Okay.”

Zhuang Nainai curled her lips. “I’m going to America to look for my mother. Can you move aside now?”

Just as the butler was about to say something, Zhuang Nainai waved her fist at him. “Uncle Li, you’re old, and I don’t want to use force on you. Don’t force me!”

The butler laughed. “How would I dare to stop you? I just wanted to know where you’re going.”

Having said this, he moved aside and let Zhuang Nainai pass.

With a backpack on her back, Zhuang Nainai ran outside and hailed a taxi to get her to the airport.

During this period of time working at the Imperial Group, she had amassed a little bit of money. It had been Si Zhengting’s salary for her out of the fear that she didn’t have enough financial support.

Now, this amount of money would come in handy in buying an airplane ticket to take her to America.

Just as Zhuang Nainai ran off, the butler made a call immediately. “Executive Assistant Ji, quickly tell Sir that Madam is about to go to America. She’s just off to the airport!”

Putting down the phone, the butler thought, Madam, I didn’t tell Sir, okay? I’m not an old demon, and I don’t want to be one!

Chapter 444: He Doesn’t Want to Miss Another Five Years (2)

Si Zhengting was meeting an important client and discussing a project worth billions of dollars. Just as they got to a crucial point in the meeting, Ji Chen picked up the call from the butler. Stunned, he barely hesitated before opening the door to the conference room and walking in.

“Sorry!” Ji Chen apologized to the client, then whispered something into Si Zhengting ear.

Si Zhengting furrowed his brows and stood up instantly. Without another word, he rushed out!

He only took his car keys with him; he was so speedy that he even left his jacket behind. Seeing how Si Zhengting was rushing, Ji Chen gave a small sigh and began explaining Si Zhengting’s behavior to the client. Apologizing, he then grabbed Si Zhengting’s jacket and followed Si Zhengting out.

By the time Ji Chen had gotten out, Si Zhengting’s gray Maybach had already whizzed past him like the wind.

Ji Chen hurriedly flagged down the bodyguard’s car. He pressed the car to follow Si Zhengting’s, but by the time they got to the intersection, he realized that Si Zhengting’s car had already disappeared.

Zhuang Nainai had gotten into the taxi in a fit of anger, but the closer she got to the airport, the more her anger began to give way to uncertainty and anxiety.

She had never gone overseas in her life. Even though she had been working here and there over the past five years and had “seen the world” in that sense, going overseas was a whole different ball game. She couldn’t help but feel a small sense of panic.

She got to the airport, and then, standing in front of the counter, she had no idea what to do.

She had asked Gu Deshou beforehand. She knew her mother was in a state called Kentucky, and the convalescent home was called Madero.

As for the rest, she had no idea. She was even clueless as to how to get to the state of Kentucky.

A wave of helplessness began to rise up from the depths of her heart. Standing in the midst of the crowd in the airport, she felt at a loss as to where to go.

The airport ground staff and tourists passed her by. She, on the other hand, stood in front of the counter, helpless.

Until... a ground staff couldn’t bear it any longer and walked over. “Hi there, Miss, can I help you with anything?”

With that, he assessed her appearance, then pointed to somewhere beside him. “There are police officers over there. If you’ve lost anything, you can ask them for help.”

With a dispirited look, she glanced at the staff. “They can help me... no matter what I’ve lost?”

The staff nodded. Unable to resist herself, Zhuang Nainai burst out, “So if I’ve lost my heart, can they help me get it back?”

So, Miss, you’re trying to play games with me? the staff thought.

Zhuang Nainai sighed, then reached out her arm to rub her chest. The emptiness and the pain she was feeling in her heart made her unsure of what to do.

Taking a deep breath, she took a step forward toward the counter. “I’m going to the state of Kentucky. How do I get there?”

The lady at the counter immediately replied, “Miss, there isn’t any direct flight. You can first get to Chicago, then take a connecting flight over to Kentucky.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Okay.”

After buying her airplane ticket, she decided to go to the departure lounge to while away the time while waiting for her flight.

Just as she was walking toward the lounge, she felt someone grab her wrist.

She turned around. What greeted her was Si Zhengting’s dark expression and his low voice. “What are you doing?”

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips and defiantly raised her head. “I’m going to look for my mother.”

“I’m not allowing you to go.” His tone was so authoritative that it left no room for negotiation. Even the fingers he had on her wrist were tightening.
