Hello, Heir Chapter 523 - We Are Husband and Wife (1)

Ji Chen nodded. Sigh. Mr. Si wouldn’t look further into his criminal responsibility, would he?

Si Zhengting suddenly asked, “Then, can you afford to pay for what you did?”

Pay?!

Taken aback, Ji Chen looked up.

Si Zhengting seemingly frowned in annoyance. “You embezzled so much funds to purchase the plane tickets. Selling you alone wouldn’t even gather enough money. So, how dare you still resign? Go out and start working!”

Ji Chen: “…!!”

As Ji Chen read between the lines, his eyes lit up.

Wow… He had never realized that Mr. Si’s arrogant and cold demeanor was this cute!

At the Si residence…

The butler adhered strictly to Si Zhengting instructions, which had been given at 10 am, and served snacks to Zhuang Nainai at 11 am. She was sitting on the living room couch, watching television and eating food. Life was so comfortable!

Just then, the phone on the table buzzed as she received a message.

She read the message as she was slurping noodles. The message was actually sent from her college’s cla.s.s representative, informing all their cla.s.smates in Beijing of a meal gathering this weekend.

Zhuang Nainai did not think much of it and tossed the phone back onto the dining table. However, after she’d eaten another two mouthfuls of noodles, her phone rang again.

It was Xie Yutong, her good friend from college.

As soon as she answered the call, Xie Yutong exclaimed over the phone, “Nainai, have you seen the message sent by the cla.s.s representative? Let’s go for our major’s meal gathering, shall we?”

Zhuang Nainai raised her brows and said apologetically, “Yutong, I can’t go.”

“Why?” When Xie Yutong finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to realize something. “Is it because of Xue Rong and that sc.u.mbag?”

Zhuang Nainai was slightly stunned as she heard this familiar yet foreign name.

Actually, only a few months had pa.s.sed since college graduation. However, to her, it seemed like it had been a very long time.

She had completely forgotten about Xue Rong and s.h.i.+ Haoyu. However, at the mention of their names, she was still slightly perturbed.

While she was still in a trance, Xie Yutong had already been rambling on about a perfect plan. “Nainai, all the more you should go! Find a handsome boyfriend to act as a rich second-generation heir to infuriate them! Let me tell you, that woman Xue Rong has been slandering you in WeChat Moments. She said that you are working as a wedding planner at a bridal boutique and that you are not living up to your college reputation of being the most talented and most beautiful woman! She also boasts of her relations.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+ Haoyu, and she even said that s.h.i.+ Haoyu had been blinded by you in college. Just seeing all these things make me so angry, so you must go. If you don’t have a boyfriend right now, I’ll hire a C-grade celebrity just to embarra.s.s them!”

Xie Yutong was one who upheld justice. She also came from a well-off family.

If this had happened in the past, Zhuang Nainai would surely have gone along with it, but now…

Mother Zhuang could not even be traced, so she was not in the mood for gatherings like this. She was down, and she sounded rather worn out. “Yutong, thank you for your good intentions, but I don’t want to go.”

After exchanging a couple more words with Xie Yutong, she finally hung up the call.

However, right after she hung up the call, the phone rang again. Zhuang Nainai looked over and realized the call was from the cla.s.s representative.

She answered the call and a male voice could be heard. “Zhuang Nainai, you must attend the cla.s.s gathering!”

Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to reject him, she heard him say, “Teacher Zhao specifically asked you to come. He said that he wanted to talk to you.”

When Zhuang Nainai heard this, she was bewildered. She asked, “Teacher Zhao Ming?”

“Yeah, Teacher Zhao called me and said that you must come no matter what and that he wants to talk to you.”

Slightly taken aback, Zhuang Nainai replied without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll go.”
