Chapter 811: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (7)

As soon as she shouted his name, the entire venue became pin-drop silent.

Everyone shut their mouths as if on cue and held their breaths. While their eyes were on their toes, they p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen for any gossip.

Si Zhengting also stopped in his tracks all of a sudden.

As she followed his footsteps, Zhuang Nainai’s heart stopped for a moment. Thereafter, he turned around slowly, showing the same expressionless face and composed att.i.tude as before. He said slowly, “Ms. Zhuang, what’s the matter?”

Zhuang Nainai could only feel her heart contract. Ms. Zhuang… was such a distant and cold way of addressing her!

She swallowed, trying her best to suppress the anguish that was suffocating her. “Si Zhengting, I want to talk to you.”

After saying this, she saw Si Zhengting look down at his watch before raising his head. “I’m sorry, Ms. Zhuang. I’m busy right now. You can make an appointment with my a.s.sistant.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around mercilessly again and strode off!

His decisiveness and heartlessness pierced Zhuang Nainai’s heart like a sword. She felt like her heart was completely pierced through all of a sudden!

There was something in her chest that was causing her so much pain that she almost had to bend over, her tears threatening to flow down her cheeks.

Although she was aware that he had his reasons for being that way, his coldness still made her experience intense hatred and sorrow.

She took a step forward in the hope of getting the answers she needed. However, just as she stepped forward, Cheng Sizhe grabbed her arm. She looked back. Her gaze was so determined and stubborn that Cheng Sizhe was taken aback. Then, he asked her, “Ms. Zhuang, what’s wrong?”

His gentle tone snapped Zhuang Nainai out of her trance.

At that moment, she realized that many people in the surrounding had their eyes fixed on her in bewilderment. After a while, it dawned on her that she came here as Cheng Sizhe’s partner. If she lost her cool, she would embarra.s.s Cheng Sizhe.

He’d already helped her. She couldn’t bite the hands that fed her.

Moreover…

They were under public scrutiny. Even if she chased after him, what would she gain?

She would only be asking for humiliation!

As Zhuang Nainai thought of those things, she tried her best to suppress the pain in her chest and compose herself. She looked like she’d regained her composure. “Mr. Cheng, I’m so sorry.”

Cheng Sizhe shook his head. Everyone around them walked away instantly, freeing them from any embarra.s.sment over this matter.

The awkward atmosphere seemed to have eased, but Zhuang Nainai still did not feel good.

Cheng Sizhe brought her along to have brief exchanges with people in the crowd before sitting down with her in a quiet corner. He suddenly said, “I know who you are.”

Zhuang Nainai was stunned.

Then, Cheng Sizhe smiled again. “I’ve seen the video on the Internet where you and Mi Nuo were involved in a fight. Afterward, I’ve also been paying attention to the Imperial Group’s news.”

At that moment, Zhuang Nainai realized that she had already become a famous person unknowingly.

Her lips curled up mockingly as she asked, “Then why are you still helping me?”

Cheng Sizhe was puzzled. “Why not?”

Zhuang Nainai turned around and looked at him with a more puzzled expression. What kind of weird logic was that?!

There needs to be a reason for one to help someone else. Wasn’t it only right that not helping someone does not require a reason?

However, when Zhuang Nainai turned around and saw Cheng Sizhe’s carefree expression, she realized that Cheng Sizhe was just trying to lift her spirits.

Zhuang Nainai: “…”
