Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes widened as she listened.
So, this was the thing that Li Yufeng said would affect her.
She furrowed her brows and retorted strongly, âDo you think I care about things like these?â
Li Yufeng was silenced by this. It was a few moments before she managed to reply, âForget it. If you donât care about it, then I couldnât be bothered about it either. Iâm tired of all of this; Iâll get going first.â
With that, she took her bag and rounded Zhuang Nainai to make her way out.
Zhuang Nainai stared at Li Yufeng all the way until she left the cafe.
After Li Yufeng left the cafe, she waited until the cafe was out of sight before veering off into a corner. She took out her phone, changed her number, then made a call.
It was Mi Nuo on the other end of the line. âIs it all settled? Did you expose yourself?â
Li Yufeng was stern. âNuonuo, anything we do now might just expose us. This is a crucial time for us, so donât you go make any more silly mistakes â is that clear? If it wasnât for your good eyesight that managed to spot them, we wouldnât have been able to put up this show; by now, weâd have been dead! And everything weâve done would have gone to waste.â
Mi Nuo took a deep breath. âI got it.â
Li Yufeng sighed, then replied, âNuonuo, I know you feel indignant, but weâve endured for so long. Do we really want our efforts to go to waste?â
Mi Nuo felt fear this time. âI understand now; I wonât ever log in to your Weibo account again. You can go back and delete that post.â
It was only now that Li Yufeng allowed herself to heave a sigh of relief. âAlright, then. Theyâve always been investigating our relationship, so what happened today might actually be a blessing in disguise. Itâll clear their doubts once and for all, and we can be at ease for two months. Two months from now, we wonât need to endure this anymore.â
On the other end of the line, Mi Nuoâs eyes gleamed as she heard this. Two months...
â
On the way back home, Zhuang Nainai stayed silent as she seriously considered Li Yufengâs question.
She had no idea why, but she felt that things seemed to flow so naturally and logically.
Mi Nuo had something on Li Yufeng, which then explained why Li Yufeng did so many evil things toward Zhuang Nainai... but why did it feel as if there was still something amiss?
Staring ahead, Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. Just as she was pondering, a large hand grabbed hers. âDonât think too much. Their relationship isnât that simple for sure.â
Zhuang Nainai nodded. âRight, I donât believe that such evil mothers exist â harming oneâs daughter to save oneâs name? Also, before we got off the car, the look that Li Yufeng had in her eyes when looking at Mi Nuo was a bit strange.â
On the other hand, when Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting had both gotten out of the car, the two women would have been speaking for a long time already. How was it possible that they would just so coincidentally broach the important topic in the conversation when the two of them walked into the cafe?
Had the two women simply been talking rubbish beforehand?
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes. âSi Zhengting, I have a gut feeling that they were just putting on a show for us so as to dispel our suspicions with regards to their relationship.â
Si Zhengting couldnât resist curling his lips when he heard this. âYup, youâre finally smart for once.â
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Zhuang Nainai didnât care to bicker with him. Continuing to turn the issue over in her head, she wondered out loud, âBut why did they do that? Are they trying to hide something?â
Just as she said this, Si Zhengting replied, âNainai, have you realized that both of them... are somewhat similar?â
