Chapter 36: Because I No Longer Like You~

Zhuang Nainai was in the bedroom. She held her cell phone, hesitating.

This phone call, do I call, or do I not call?

Since she had made use of Si Zhengting, the relationship between the two of them may completely end here.

But if she does not do that…

Suddenly, her mother’s face flashed in front of her.

Zhuang Nainai suddenly clenched her fist, suppressing the last vestiges of guilt deep in her heart.

She pressed the keys on her cell phone and dialed Lin Xi’er’s number…

But at that moment when the call was going through, she abruptly pressed the hang up key!

Reluctance…

She suddenly thought of the night they broke up five years ago.

That was the third year of high school. They had just finished the college entrance exams. When they were returning with high aspirations, she had reached the field with Si Zhengting.

On the field, the motley patches of shade that the leaves cast on his face increasingly brought out the indifference of the introverted teenager.

Zhuang Nainai gazed at his face, but she could not understand him.

Suddenly, started to speak. “Si Zhengting, let’s break up.”

His pupils shrank, and he calmly inquired, “Why?”

Why?

He still had the gall to ask why?

Zhuang Nainai tightly clenched her fist, but on the surface, she showed that she felt very innocent and relaxed, keeping all her emotions deeply hidden. In a fluttery tone, she said, “Because I don’t like you anymore!”

“Why? Did I do anything wrong?” The boy paused, only continuing his questioning after a while.

Zhuang Nainai’s mouth twitched, and she looked towards the trees at the side. She dared not look at him, afraid that she could no longer control herself and start crying. She tried her best to remain smiling. “I don’t like you anymore means I no longer like you, do I need a reason?”

The boy looked at her lifelessly, his gaze made it extremely difficult for her heart to bear!

She bit her lips, adamantly refusing to open her mouth to speak. She waited for a while, finally hearing his words, “Sure.”

Afterwards, the boy turned around, leaving step by step.

Looking at his back view, her tears suddenly flowed, but she did not dare to let him know. She tightly covered her mouth with her hand!

She finally could not endure it, she wanted to rush up to hug that back view, but in the end, her rationality let her find a corner to burst out into tears.

That was the last time she cried in this lifetime.

After that day, she did not allow herself to shed a tear. Until now, the moment when that call was going through, she suddenly felt the impulse to cry.

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fist tightly, putting it into her mouth.

Tears silently fell.

Zhuang Nainai suddenly started searching for his number in her contacts, and when she had found it, she dialed it.

Her heart quivered.

She did not know why she wanted to give the other party a call, but subconsciously, she wanted to hear his voice.

But what came from the other end of the call was a female voice, prompting that the other party had turned off their cell phone.

Cell phone is turned off…

Zhuang Nainai’s hand dropped downwards, her cell phone falling onto the couch.

In the darkness, she continued sitting.

She did not know for how long she was sitting there before the cell phone suddenly lit up.

The phone’s brightness was piercing, Zhuang Nainai was not used to it.

She picked up the phone, realizing it was Lin Xi’er’s call. “Nainai, have you thought about it? If you don’t send it out, tomorrow might be too late…”

Only then did Zhuang Nainai realize that it was already early morning.

She really… did not have any other choice.

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath. “Send it.”

Si Zhengting, this is what you owe me from five years ago.

So… I’ll use you this one time. May our scores be written off.

Whether it is love or hate, may it be gone with the wind!

Lin Xi’er hung up the phone and sent the photo out.

Within moments, a few of Beijing’s important newspaper offices obtained the gossip that very night. Even though it was before daybreak, these people got out from the warmth of their blankets to quickly rush to their company to work overtime!

Mr. Si is getting married!

This news must not fall behind!

The original headlines were temporarily set aside. The editors worked overtime to write new manuscripts, then quickly sent them so the next day’s newspaper would be printed out.

This was a sleepless night. In the darkness of Beijing’s night, an insurrection in the business world was brewing.

The next day, the entire city of Beijing was shocked!

Because!

The headline of every major newspaper publication was about Mr. Si!

“According to Gossip: Mr. Si’s Wedding Is Approaching”

“The Most Eligible Golden Bachelor Is Leaving the Ranks of Singlehood”

“Mysterious Girlfriend Is Rumored to Be Gu Corporation’s Eldest Daughter”

“Mr. Si and Fiancée Deeply in Love, Wedding Is Suspected to Be Approaching”

All these years, Mr. Si had been leading the Imperial Group towards an inaccessible point. Mr. Si was low-key and resourceful, with virtually no gossip surrounding him.

Hence, in the past, all these articles from these newspapers have been groundless gossip, but this time, even though only the side view of the woman can be seen, Si Zhengting’s face was seen clearly!

So, how could any major newspaper publication give up on this chance?

In a moment, this heavy news created ripples on the calm surface of the business world.

…

Gu home, 8 o’clock in the morning.

In the living room, Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng stared at the unbelievable newspaper headline. “What, what is happening?”

Zhuang Nainai pretended to be surprised. “This… which reporter followed us and took a photo!”

Gu Deshou was silent for a moment, comforting her. “Don’t worry, since you have decided to get married, this news poses no problem. Dad will find the Si family to agree upon the marriage.”

At these words, Zhuang Nainai blinked.

Shouldn’t this couple’s first reaction upon seeing this news be excitement and happiness?

But now… Gu Deshou was actually caring for her?

Zhuang Nainai closed her eyes and her mouth twitched; her heart was full of disdain.

At the side, even though Li Yufeng’s complexion was pale, compared to Gu Deshou’s tone of voice, her tone was more brisk. “Since you are getting married, Qingyan’s betrothal gift definitely will not be lacking. Here, I have some precious jewelry, I will organize a dowry list in a moment! Even though there is a big gap between us and the Imperial Group, we can’t let our daughter look poor when she gets married!”

Hearing this, Gu Deshou suddenly nodded. “Yes, I want to transfer 20% of Gu Corporation’s stocks to Qingyan.”

20%?!

The disdain in Zhuang Nainai’s heart increased. This was because… in their views, she was going to becoming the Mrs. Si?

If they knew the truth… Oh, they would break her legs!

Zhuang Nainai directly interrupted their words. “Dad, that 500 thousand…”

“Oh, there is 500 thousand in this card, the password is 123456.” Gu Deshou heartily passed her the money, then continued to discuss with Li Yufeng the details of the wedding.

Zhuang Nainai quickly called for a taxi, bringing a lawyer to Mother Zhuang’s side to solve the problem.

After waiting to ensure that the other party would not sue and that there were no charges on her and Mother Zhuang, Zhuang Nainai called Lin Xi’er. “Xi’er, quickly help my mom tidy up her luggage, I’m going to leave with my mom now!”
