Chapter 799: Si Jingyu Is Back! (4)
When Zhuang Nainai heard Si Jingyu defending her, she was stunned.
People like Lin Xi’er and Su Yanbin were only her friends. In front of them, she had never shown her vulnerability.
On the other hand, Si Jingyu… was older than her and Si Zhengting by three years. Having lived with her for a period of time, Zhuang Nainai really treated her like family.
For this reason, she was even more afraid — afraid that Si Jingyu would misjudge her and hate her because of Mother Ding’s accident.
When Si Jingyu was approaching her just now, she looked extremely indignant. However, she did not think that her indignation was targeted at Si Zhengting.
Instantly, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes welled up and her nose stung, as if she had just seen her parent!
Looking at Si Jingyu, she called out with trembling lips, “Sister!” Thereafter, she hugged her with tears running down her cheeks suddenly.
Si Jingyu patted her back. “Okay, okay, don’t cry. You are already at the entrance of the villa, but why aren’t you going in? Are you here to look for Zhengting? Is he not in?”
Zhuang Nainai sniffled before lowering her head and saying aggrievedly, “He’s not letting me in.”
As soon as Si Jingyu heard this, her eyes became wider. “This rascal… This rascal!”
She glanced at the iron gates, grabbed Zhuang Nainai’s hand suddenly, and walked forward. After she hammered the door with her fists forcefully, the side gate opened again at last. Upon seeing Si Jingyu, the small housekeeper was slightly taken aback. Then, she closed the door shut, turned around, and ran toward the villa. “Miss is back! Miss is back!”
Si Jingyu: “…”
Everyone: “…”
In less than two minutes, quick, shuffling footsteps could be heard from inside. The side gate opened. Butler Li was standing there, looking at Si Jingyu with utmost courtesy. “Miss, you are back?”
Si Jingyu nodded and walked in. “I heard that you guys are not letting Nainai in?”
Butler Li glanced at Zhuang Nainai before lowering his head. “Miss…”
“What? Are you not letting me in too?”
Uncle Li answered hurriedly, “How dare I do that?”
“Good. I thought you guys were climbing over your master’s head!” Si Jingyu ordered in a very firm tone, “Open the main gate!”
Butler Li looked at Si Jingyu. He had wanted to say something, but he could only lower his head helplessly and gesture upon seeing Si Jingyu’s gaze. “Open the gates.”
The rattling sounds of the gates could be heard. The iron gates had finally been opened.
Su Yanbin drove in, following the group who was walking in front.
Si Jingyu’s luggage had been handed over to the housekeeper. Zhuang Nainai and she were walking in front as they led the group. Any clueless person would think that they were about to wreck the place!
After they entered the living room, Si Jingyu sat on the couch. “Where is Si Zhengting? Why isn’t he here yet?”
Butler Li cleared his throat and scanned the group of people. When his gaze s.h.i.+fted to Zhuang Nainai, he purposely fixed his eyes on her for a little longer. Seeing that her face was flushed, he was relieved. Madam would probably be happy to hear what he was going to say.
Afterward, Uncle Li’s gaze was fixed on Si Zhengting.
He still had his makeup on and he was hiding in an obscure spot. When Uncle Li looked at him, he paused before looking down. No one saw his gaze, which was filled with mixed emotions. Then, he nodded at Uncle Li very subtly.
Uncle Li sighed inaudibly and said, “Miss, Sir isn’t home today.”
