Chapter 735: Recurring Climax! The Truth Behind What Happened Five Years Ago! (3)
The person in front of her was the grandmother of her children and the mother of Si Zhengting. Putting aside the uncertainty of the ident.i.ty of the murderer back then, what could Zhuang Nainai do even if she were the murderer?!
Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai like this, Butler Li stood in front of Ding Mengya immediately. “Madam, what do you want?”
However, Ding Mengya pushed him aside after hearing this. “Li, step aside.”
The butler looked back at Ding Mengya with worry. “Madam…”
“Step aside, Nainai won’t do anything foolish,” said Ding Mengya firmly. She sounded like she trusted Zhuang Nainai fully.
After pus.h.i.+ng Butler Li aside, she approached Zhuang Nainai and straightened her back. “Nainai, we still don’t know if your mother is alive. Don’t panic. You cannot be so agitated when you are pregnant right now. I will bring you upstairs to rest, okay? I will rush Si Zhengting and ask him to come back immediately. He will bring Mother Zhuang back too, alright?”
Alright?
She was pacifying her gently, but Zhuang Nainai’s eyes turned red. The tears that she had been holding back flowed down. Looking at Ding Mengya, she shook her head at last. “I will go upstairs by myself.”
She did not know if she could continue getting along with Ding Mengya calmly.
During this time, she realized that she liked Ding Mengya’s character. Ding Mengya was like a mother who compensated the love she had been deprived of for five years.
She had protected her and taken care of her. She would even be on her side unconditionally whenever she and Si Zhengting had fickle arguments.
She had bought wool yarn to knit sweaters for the babies.
So how could she possibly hate Ding Mengya? How could she even say merciless things like “If my mother is really dead, I wouldn’t forgive you”?
However, it was still unclear if Mother Zhuang was dead or alive, so how could she… get along with her calmly?
Holding on to the railings along the hallway, she climbed the staircase step by step. Everyone looking from below was extremely apprehensive, but Ding Mengya and Butler Li did not dare to say anything after seeing her stubborn demeanor. They could only follow behind her and be on guard.
After Zhuang Nainai finally reached the top, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As if all the energy had been sucked out of Zhuang Nainai’s body, she pushed the master bedroom door open lethargically. She lay on the bed, but she just could not fall asleep.
Mother, you must stay alive. Must stay alive!
Mother, you cannot leave me alone.
Si Zhengting, I believe you. You must bring Mother Zhuang back.
As Zhuang Nainai thought of these, tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes uncontrollably.
She could feel subtle movements from her lower abdomen again, causing her to be wide awake in shock. She cannot let these negative emotions get to her; she still had her two babies…
Taking in a deep breath, Zhuang Nainai got out of bed and washed her face with cold water. Since she could not fall asleep, she would not force herself to do so. Instead, she grabbed her phone and sat on the couch quietly until morning dawned.
The sky was turning brighter slowly.
However, she still did not feel sleepy at all. Upon hearing the housekeepers’ voices from downstairs, she stood up. She did not have an appet.i.te, but she still wanted to replenish her energy by eating breakfast.
Supporting her big tummy with one hand, she walked toward the door. Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
She looked down, only to see Hu Zi’s number.
What’s the point of him calling now?
However, she still accepted the call.
She had just accepted the call when Hu Zi’s voice could be heard from the other end. “Please let my friend off! Go and tell Li Yufeng that I won’t tell anyone about the incident years ago! I guarantee that I will leave Beijing by today and never appear in front of you guys again!”
