Chapter 297 - She Was the Highlight of His Life (6)
That question… Was utterly authoritative!
Zhuang Nainai praised Si Zhengting inwardly, then looked towards Si Jingyu.
She was unable to tell the truth to Si Zhengting because she had promised Si Jingyu earlier not to divulge it. Inwardly, however, she thought to herself, Quick, Sister, tell him that your scumbag of a husband has a mistress! Let Si Zhengting help you take revenge!
It was here that Zhuang Nainai squeezed Si Jingyu’s hand to encourage her. But Si Jingyu shook her head instead. “Nothing.”
Si Zhengting furrowed his brows and turned to leave.
Si Jingyu grabbed him by the arm, anxious. “What are you going to do?”
“Since you’re not telling me, I’ll ask him myself.” Si Zhengting’s eyes were now vicious and full of anger. “I’ll ask him what exactly he’s been busy with. Ever since his wife came back, why hasn’t he been able to spare even a moment for her?”
Si Jingyu’s eyes reddened instantaneously. She shook her head. “No, don’t go!”
Si Zhengting looked at her, and seeing that she was still unwilling to confide in him, decidedly pushed her away. “He has to pay the price for bullying you!”
How could Si Jingyu’s strength ever exceed Si Zhengting’s?
Watching him walk towards the staircase, Si Jingyu shouted with all her might, “Zhengting!”
Si Zhengting paused in his footsteps and turned around.
Si Jingyu bit her lips tightly, her fists hanging from either side of her body. It was as if her thin frame was using all its might to contain something. With her eyes turned towards Si Zhengting, she said pleadingly, “I beg you, Zhengting, don’t go. Grant me that last bit of dignity.”
Si Zhengting heard her sorrowful tone and gazed at her trembling body. Without a word, he turned around and went into the master bedroom.
It was only then that Si Jingyu heaved a sigh of relief. Turning to Zhuang Nainai, she broke into a bitter smile.
Back in her room, her cell phone rang again. Si Jingyu ignored it and walked straight in.
After a moment’s thought, Zhuang Nainai followed. “Sister, you…”
Si Jingyu smiled at Zhuang Nainai. “It’s nothing. It’s Mother’s birthday today, so he wants me home.”
Wanting Si Jingyu to go back home?
This man was the worst scumbag ever!
Did he want Si Jingyu and Bai Yue to harmoniously sit together at the dining table?
Zhuang Nainai was suddenly angered. Seeing that the phone was still flashing, she rushed towards the phone and picked it up.
Si Jingyu had been spending time at the Si residence recently, and Zhuang Nainai had already begun to see her as a friend and sister. With fury she picked up the phone, and out came Shi Jinyan’s voice. “Jingyu…”
Without giving him a chance to finish his words, Zhuang Nainai gave a cold laugh. “I’m Zhuang Nainai. Are you even a man, Shi Jinyan? You’ve got a mistress and yet you still want to have the joy of having several partners?”
Shi Jinyan was taken aback. “What do you mean? Let me speak with Jingyu.”
“I…” Zhuang Nainai was about to continue scolding him, but Si Jingyu took away the cell phone from her.
Si Jingyu spoke into the cell phone, “Shi Jinyan, I’ve made myself very clear already. Since we’re going to be divorced soon, I’m not attending Mother’s birthday party. You guys can have fun by yourselves.”
Just as she was about to hang up, Shi Jinyan replied. “Have you misunderstood? Bai Yue won’t be attending.”
Won’t be attending?
Si Jingyu was stunned. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. Had she been the victim of someone’s plot to sow discord?
Indeed, right from the beginning, Shi Jinyan had never said that he was inviting Bai Yue.
She was still in shock when a female voice rang out from the other end of the line. It was a very shoddy Mandarin, with bits and pieces of dialect in between, and could only be roughly understood. “Jingyu, how can you be absent from my birthday? Come and join us, the dishes have all been prepared! I made your favorite sweet-and-sour spare ribs, and I just went to get the lobsters that you love so much…”
