Si Zhengting rarely spoke to her so earnestly, so when he did this time around, Ding Mengya was shocked.
She stared at Si Zhengting.
So, when he agreed to ask Zhuang Nainai to attend this meeting, it wasn’t out of suspicion, it was because he didn’t want Ding Mengya to be suspicious of Zhuang Nainai.
Was his love for Zhuang Nainai already this deep?
Ding Mengya pursed her lips. She still felt a little suspicious. She said, “That house…”
“I gave her the money.” Si Zhengting calmly responded without explaining why he had given her the money.
Ding Mengya hummed an agreement, then stood up and clutched her bag. “I’m old, and I won’t meddle in the affairs of the company any longer. I’ll just wait to carry a grandson in my embrace.”
After saying this, she shook her head. “Who knows where Jingyu has gone to in that fit of craziness? No one can locate her again. Isn’t she afraid of Jinyan’s disapproval when she goes out to enjoy herself so whole-heartedly?”
Si Zhengting didn’t explain the situation even after hearing this.
They were unwilling to let Ding Mengya know of some things.
She had suffered so much in her lifetime. Since she was already getting old in age, they wanted her to live her remaining years happily.
After Ding Mengya left the company, Si Zhengting stood up and walked toward his office.
Ji Chen tailed him closely. When Si Zhengting walked out of the conference room, his expression became gloomier. His voice was laced with anger and aggression. “Go and find out who leaked the design drafts and why they are maligning Madam.”
Ji Chen acknowledged the order.

Both Mi Nuo and Li Li looked pale throughout their journey from the top floor to the eighteenth floor.
Li Li bit her lips. “Director Mi, that Zhuang Nainai was way too haughty. How was she so sure that we wouldn’t be able to find proof? She was too much! She was obviously the person who stole the design drafts!”
After she said this, the edges of Li Li’s eyes reddened. “It was all my fault! Why did my stomach have to hurt that day? I had believed that she wasn’t that kind of person, and I was even thankful that she was there to complete the task on my behalf…”
Mi Nuo sighed and patted Li Li’s shoulder. “She would’ve revealed her true colors eventually. Keep an eye on her for me, we can’t just give up on this matter so easily.”
Li Li was suddenly overcome by an abundance of fighting spirit. “Yes, Director Mi!”
The two went their separate ways when they reached Mi Nuo’s office. Mi Nuo pushed the door open and entered her office. The moment she closed the door to her office, the unhappiness on her face vanished.
There was a dark and ruthless glint in her eyes, and the corners of her lips were turned upwards in a smirk.
She took out her cell phone and searched for a number in her phone book, then dialed that number.
The person on the other end of the line answered quickly. Gu Xingshan asked, “How was it? How did Brother-in-law react?”
Mi Nuo sighed. There was a tinge of annoyance and perplexion in her voice, “Mr. Si really trusts her.”
“What?! He actually trusts her?!” Gu Xingshan was furious. “She was obviously the person who stole the design drafts, that b*tch!”
Mi Nuo sighed. “Ms. Gu, I think you should stop trying to compete with her. I can tell that Mr. Si seems to like her a lot.”
“Brother-in-law has been hoodwinked by her. I can’t let this rest, I must expose this b*tch’s true colors!”
Mi Nuo hurriedly said, “Ms. Gu, you… why would you do this? She’s your sister, after all!”
“What sister? Do sisters steal their sibling’s marriage partners? Don’t tell me that she’s my sister!” Gu Xingshan was fuming with anger.
Mi Nuo immediately shut her mouth.
“Mi Nuo, one has to know how to show one’s grat.i.tude. Don’t forget who paid for your tuition fees in university, and who rescued you from that impoverished place, and who made you the outstanding person you are today! You keep your eye on Zhuang Nainai on my behalf!” Gu Xingshan’s bossy att.i.tude caused Mi Nuo to arch her brow. She softly murmured an agreement, then ended the call.
