Chapter 456: Mother Zhuang Has Gone Missing (5)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Zhuang Nainai asked her question, she heard Gu Deshou reply, “Let’s finish watching the recording first.”
Zhuang Nainai stopped talking and continued watching the recording.
Ding Mengya said something in the office, then walked out and stared at the garden for a moment before turning around and leaving.
She didn’t try to look for Mother Zhuang again. She didn’t even appear in the convalescent home again. Then why did she even visit Mother Zhuang in the first place?
Zhuang Nainai closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little agonized.
It was only then that she looked at the director. Gu Deshou translated what the director was saying, “This lady only came here to have a chat with me. She came as Madam Zhuang’s daughter’s mother-in-law to visit Madam Zhuang. We had also verified her ident.i.ty before allowing her to visit Madam Zhuang. And after Madam Zhuang saw this lady, Madam Zhuang got a little agitated, following which I advised this lady not to get too close to Madam Zhuang. Then, this lady told me that she wanted to transfer Madam Zhuang to another home to receive better treatment. She asked for my opinion if that would help to improve her condition. I told her that Madam Zhuang’s sickness requires long-term, meticulous care. What Madam Zhuang needs is a slow recovery, and this has nothing to do with the quality of care of the medical staff. Furthermore, I told her that Mr. Gu was about to pick Madam Zhuang up. After I told her this, she remained expressionless, then left shortly after.”
What Ding Mengya said to the director was acceptable, but who gave her the right to think about switching Mother Zhuang to another home?!
And why did she come here?
What did she say to Mother Zhuang exactly?!
Zhuang Nainai felt that there were many riddles about her own emotions that she had to solve, but she didn’t know what to do at the moment.
Si Zhengting took a step forward and glanced at Zhuang Nainai. “Nainai, since this is the case, you can’t say that she was only here to provoke Mother Zhuang. Perhaps… she has her own difficulties regarding this matter?”
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips and looked at him before laughing bitterly. “Difficulties? Then tell me, what kind of difficulties would she have?”
How would he know what kind of difficulties she was facing?!
In that moment, Si Zhengting felt the distance between them that he had painstakingly bridged suddenly grow farther again.
He knew that he had to make his att.i.tude regarding the matter clear. If not, there was a high possibility that she would really leave him.
Si Zhengting pursed his lips. “Nainai. Let’s look for her and ask her directly what the matter is, alright?”
Ask her?
Would she admit to it?
Zhuang Nainai didn’t say a word, but her body language and att.i.tude clearly showed her reluctance toward the idea.
Si Zhengting looked at her, then finally sighed. “Then let’s look for people who are able to lip read to figure out what she said.”
Zhuang Nainai finally nodded.
Si Zhengting was very efficient. Within two hours, two lip-reading experts arrived at the home. They let the experts watch the recording, and after some discussion, they stood up and presented their conclusion.
Madam Ding had first walked in front of Mother Zhuang and said, “Nice to meet you, I am Zhengting’s mother. It was impolite of me to visit you only after such a long period of time.”
Then Mother Zhuang raised her head and looked at Madam Ding, looking lost.
Madam Ding had then explained, “My son’s name is Si Zhengting. He’s married to your daughter. We’re in-laws.”
Mother Zhuang then stared at her. It seemed as though she was trying to decide if she knew Madam Ding.
Madam Ding continued, “I know that you don’t recognize me now, and you probably don’t trust me either. But I want to ask you this, will you leave this place with me?”
It wasn’t clear if Mother Zhuang had understood her. She continued staring at Madam Ding with that lost gaze. However, there were minute changes to her expression.
