Hello, Heir Chapter 519 - There’s Been News of Mother Zhuang! (12)

He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t angry.

Si Zhengting felt that all his hard work during the past couple of days had gone to the dogs.

To make matters worse, the dog had even turned around and bitten him.

And to make matters even worse, he couldn’t do anything about this dog.

He picked up his blazer and strode out angrily, intending to stomp down the stairs.

However, just as he stepped out of the room and saw those stairs, he froze.

It was unclear if Mother Zhuang was dead or alive. Of course she was anxious about that. Why was he making a fuss over the matter?

Moreover…

All the tickets out of Beijing had been fully sold. Didn’t he also feel that there was something fishy about that?

However, he didn’t want her to leave as well. Thus, he decided to turn a blind eye to these strange happenings and to trust Ji Chen. After all, hadn’t he done that before?

He also thought back to what she had said before.

“I’m not a pet that you can order to come and go as you please!”

He rubbed his temples, his head throbbing. He suddenly understood the wisdom behind the words — the cause of a matter would influence its final effect.

If he had not confiscated her pa.s.sport in the first place, she would not have doubted him.

He stood in place for a moment, then turned around and stood before the door to the room. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out, intending to open the door by pulling on the doork.n.o.b.

Just as he was about to open the door, the door opened with a creak.

Si Zhengting stopped in his tracks, then saw someone carelessly and blindly rus.h.i.+ng into his arms. It knocked him off balance.

Zhuang Nainai was paralyzed with shock. The collision with the chest had hurt her nose. She rubbed it, then lifted her head. She blinked, then blinked again. Si Zhengting was standing in front of her, his hand extended, intending to open the door.

Huh?

He was back?

Perhaps he wasn’t angry any longer?

A flicker of light flashed past her dark eyes. She said, “Si Zhengting, you…”

Si Zhengting’s face remained emotionless. Without waiting for her to continue, he coolly said, “I’ve requested for an air route early tomorrow morning. We might as well fly early tomorrow morning instead of taking a plane now and transferring to another flight later on.”

After he said this, he pulled out his phone and said in a business-like manner, “You can take a look at this. These are the fastest routes to Kentucky.”

After he said this, he handed his phone over to Zhuang Nainai.

Zhuang Nainai subconsciously reached out for the phone. Then, she looked at the flight routes listed on the display. Finally, she pursed her lips. After some internal hesitation, she said, “I can wait for more news first before deciding.”

Si Zhengting was taken aback. He lifted his head and looked at her in disbelief.

Her big eyes were twinkling. When he looked over at her, she even blinked. It was as if she was saying to him, Si Zhengting, I’m sorry~

Upon looking at her small face, he felt the anger that was raging within him dissipate.

He even caught the apologetic gleam that flashed past her eyes, which seemed to reflect the guilt she felt toward Mother Zhuang. He felt the need to atone for it.

He felt that his entire life had fallen into the hands of this woman called Zhuang Nainai.

Si Zhengting sighed internally, then checked the time. “Rest well at home. We’ll leave for America with the family doctor tomorrow afternoon.”

He would take the family doctor along with them to America because she was still worried about Mother Zhuang. This was the biggest concession he was willing to make for her.

Zhuang Nainai felt a warmth spreading throughout her entire body, and it made her feel inexplicably touched.

She nodded dumbly, then returned to the bed in the master bedroom to lie down on the bed as Si Zhengting had told her to do.
