Whether Mother Zhuang was dead or alive was still a mystery; she felt a sense of guilt.


At the thought of this, Zhuang Nainai raised her head to look at Su Mei. “I’m not even in a hurry, so why are you?”


Just as she said this, the alarm on her cell phone rang. Casting a glance at the cell phone, Su Mei said, “Okay, okay, I’d better take my leave. It’s time for you to have your meal!”


Zhuang Nainai smiled. “Why are you leaving just because I’m eating? I can eat with you around.”


Su Mei stuck her tongue out. “Because the President is coming down! If he sees me here, he’ll probably be wondering what I’m doing over here! Am I an employee who slacks off and simply waits to receive her salary?”


She continued, “The most important thing is, I’m actually a little busy, so I actually have to leave!”


Zhuang Nainai nodded.


After sending Su Mei off, Zhuang Nainai took her meal out of the fridge and began to prepare her food.


As her pregnancy progressed, she had begun to realize that her appet.i.te was decreasing. The physician had said that it was because the fetus was pressing against her stomach, and the decreased size of her stomach meant that she had to eat smaller meals at higher frequencies.


After having her meal, Zhuang Nainai stood up and checked the time. It was nearly 11 in the morning.


No matter how busy Si Zhengting was, he would always have lunch with her at noon, and so Zhuang Nainai decided to look for him on the top floor.


With one hand on her belly, she slowly walked upstairs.


As it was just 11, everyone was still busy with work and no-one was walking along the corridors.


As Zhuang Nainai turned the corner and was about to head into the elevator, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her. “Zhuang Nainai!”


Huh?


Wasn’t that… s.h.i.+ Haoyu?


Zhuang Nainai turned around, only to see s.h.i.+ Haoyu standing a short distance away, looking at her.


Due to the fact that Dazhuang was always by her side, Zhuang Nainai wasn’t afraid of him doing anything to her. She was simply curious as to how he was able to get himself into the office building of the Imperial Group.


Just as Zhuang Nainai was thinking about this, s.h.i.+ Haoyu walked forward. As he got closer to her, he noticed her stomach, and a complicated expression crossed his gaze. He was unable to say anything for a few moments.


Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. “Is there anything I can do for you? Why are you here to look for me?”


It was only upon hearing this that s.h.i.+ Haoyu looked up to face her. “Zhuang Nainai, what must we do for you to let us go?!”


Zhuang Nainai was confused. “Let you go from?”


s.h.i.+ Haoyu spoke once more. “The three million dollars from the meal at the holiday resort — will you only be happy once you’ve pushed us to our deaths?”


As s.h.i.+ Haoyu spoke up ’til here, his eyes reddened.


Ever since that incident, s.h.i.+ Haoyu’s relations.h.i.+p with Xue Rong had soured, and they had been on the verge of breaking up.


Little did he expect Xue Guorong to get on board and ask Xue Rong to divorce him and make him pay for the meal, but Xue Rong had then surprised him by refusing to talk about divorce.


It was then that s.h.i.+ Haoyu finally realized how flawed Xue Rong was.


She loved to compare herself with and be above others — in other words, she had a venomous tongue and bore ill intentions toward Zhuang Nainai. But for all her faults, the one redeeming factor was her true love for him.


Now that their relations.h.i.+p had gotten to this, making s.h.i.+ Haoyu bear the debt while going through with the divorce was the best option for the Xue family.


But he never expected Xue Rong to hold on and refuse to give up on him.


It was only then that s.h.i.+ Haoyu had his epiphany.


The past few months of living from hand to mouth had made him suddenly realize the meaning of life.


And Xue Guorong, upon seeing his daughter refuse to get a divorce, had been infuriated. He had then simply told them to sort out the debt by themselves, by hook or by crook.
