Chapter 817: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (13)
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up instantly as she looked at him intently.
It seemed like all problems could be easily solved with his appearance.
Biting her lip, she clenched her fists tightly.
She looked at Si Zhengting intently, only to see him walk over step by step and standing next to Xiao Caibai.
Cheng Sizhe, Xiao Caibai, and Si Zhengting all had their distinguis.h.i.+ng characteristics. In an instant, they became the center of attention in the entire event hall. With just a glance, everyone was in for a treat for their eyes.
On the other hand, Zhuang Nainai was shadowed by the splendor of the three of them, causing her to look plain.
Xiao Caibai saw Si Zhengting and raised her brows. “Mr. Si, what do you mean by that?”
Si Zhengting answered, “Nothing. Doesn’t this bet involve everyone here?”
Xiao Caibai was taken aback as she saw Si Zhengting look up nonchalantly. After inspecting the entire event hall, he said in an imposing tone, “I think Ms. Zhuang’s performance was better. What do all of you think?”
The entire event hall became silent again.
Other than the Imperial Group’s shareholders, those who managed to receive invitations from Si Zhengting to attend this business social event were elite figures from all over the world. However, all of them knew that they could afford to offend anyone but the Imperial Group!
Right now, Mr. Si from the Imperial Group had already spoken. Who would dare to go against him?
Thus, one hand shot up. Two hands shot up… Slowly, everyone’s hands were raised.
After all!
Favoring Xiao Caibai was only a form of respect for her. However, they depended on Mr. Si for their livelihoods! Who would dare to offend Mr. Si?!
The result was obvious even without tabulation.
Xiao Caibai did not look good all of a sudden, but she still held a calm demeanor. Although she had been aggravated, she still wore her unique sense of pride. As she pursed her lips, the smile on her face vanished. “Mr. Si, what are you trying to do?”
Upon saying this, she glanced at Cheng Sizhe and said in a gentle voice, “This is something between me and Cheng Sizhe. Please stay out of it.”
Stay out of it?
Wasn’t he already involved in it?
Si Zhengting did not raise his head at all, as if he wasn’t very willing to talk to Xiao Caibai. However, even without looking up, he could still feel Zhuang Nainai’s fiery gaze that was fixed on him. He pursed his lips before saying, “This is my event. I don’t wish for news of any embarra.s.sing incidents to be spread outside.”
What he said sounded like an explanation to Xiao Caibai, but in actuality, it was an explanation to Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai could only feel her heart wrench. Pursing her lips, she looked down, and her lips curled into a bitter smile.
Embarra.s.sing incident?
So, even if she was being bullied, this would only look like an embarra.s.sing incident to them.
Although he did make an appearance to help her out of this trouble, why did his sharp tongue feel so irksome?
She was boiling with rage again, causing her to feel like she was losing her mind.
Biting her lip, she took a deep breath.
Thereafter, she watched as Xiao Caibai got into a state of bewilderment for a while. At last, she said slowly, “Since things have turned out like this, I’ll take my leave!”
After saying this, she turned around and left confidently.
Looking at her, Zhuang Nainai’s wrath found another target. She could not help but call out to her, “Ms. Xiao!”
Xiao Caibai stopped in her tracks and looked back slowly.
Zhuang Nainai said, “You seemed to have forgotten something.”
Forgotten something?
She forgot to kowtow to her!
