Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What a jerk!
Zhuang Nainai was so angry that she was clenching her teeth. Without another word, she stormed off to the top floor.
However, after she reached the top floor, she was notified that Mr. Si had an appointment with a client in the afternoon. Thus, he had left early.
May smiled at Zhuang Nainai. “Sir said that if Madam wishes to see him, she should get off work early and hurry home.”
After she heard this, Zhuang Nainai was boiling mad!
She had been working overtime for the last couple of days. Zhuang Nainai was indeed finding it difficult to bear with the fatigue. Thus, she was starting to slow her pace of working. However, once she started to do so, she felt the sleep bug taking control over her. She yawned a couple of times in succession before deciding that she was going to get off work for the day!
She bade her colleagues farewell and got into the car to head for the Si residence. As it was only four in the afternoon, Si Zhengting was not home yet. Zhuang Nainai headed for the guest room, took a bath, changed into her pajamas, and lay on the bed, ready to sleep.
She was just about to fall asleep when her phone rang.
Ever since she had picked up that strange call a while ago, Zhuang Nainai developed a phobia of her phone’s ring tone. Thus, when she heard it ring, she sat up on her bed as though it was a conditioned reflex. When she saw Si Jingyu’s personal number flas.h.i.+ng on her phone’s screen, she suddenly felt exhilarated!
TZ!
Si Zhengting said that Zhuang Nainai couldn’t leave the Imperial Group because of the plagiarism matter. Although he had already cleared things up for her, the police needed to take down TZ’s statement to drop the charge. Si Guangsong was also keeping strict tabs on the matter. Thus, Zhuang Nainai was still a suspect and couldn’t leave Beijing for the time being.
But what if TZ was back? If TZ were to go to the police station and testify on her behalf that she didn’t plagiarize nor steal the drafts, wouldn’t everything be resolved?
Then, she would be able to apply for her ID and her pa.s.sport, then leave the country in search of her mother!
Thus, Zhuang Nainai happily answered TZ’s call. She heard TZ’s voice saying, “Nainai, are you home?”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Yes! You…”
Before she could finish speaking, Si Jingyu interrupted, “Help me take a picture of my account book. My account book is together with Zhengting’s. I need it to settle some matters on my end.”
Zhuang Nainai had not expected her to task her with something to do. She dazedly hummed an agreement, then stood up. “Where’s the account book?”
“It’s in Zhengting’s study room. There’s a safe on the wall on the right. Our doc.u.ments are all kept there.”
Zhuang Nainai followed Si Jingyu’s directions and managed to locate the safe. “There’s a pa.s.sword on it!”
“Yes, didn’t Zhengting tell you his pa.s.sword?”
Zhuang Nainai shook her head. “He didn’t.”
Si Jingyu sighed, then spoke. “This person keeps everything buried in his heart and keeps mum. His pa.s.sword is your birthday. He has kept the same pa.s.sword all these years.”
Her birthday?
Zhuang Nainai was shocked. She didn’t seem to understand the implications of Si Jingyu’s words. Her hand, which had been hovering in front of the keypad, remained suspended in mid-air.
She stared into s.p.a.ce.
Her birthday, and his pa.s.sword had not been changed over the years.
She suddenly recalled that he had said that he loved her very much in that private room in the KTV…
So, he actually… wasn’t lying then?
Zhuang Nainai was utterly shocked. She didn’t know how she could explain what she was feeling at the moment. It was as if she was a person struggling to locate water in a desert, who suddenly turned back and found an oasis.
That spell of good fortune, that kind of… pleasant surprise, was not something that she had ever experienced before. Then she lifted her head and keyed in the numbers that tallied with her birthday: 0419.
She heard a beep before the door to the safe swung open.
