Chapter 818: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (14)
Everyone around them held their breath as if on cue. They felt like this Zhuang Nainai must be insane.
Even Xiao Caibai felt like she was hallucinating.
It had been so many years. Who dared to put her in a spot in public?
Astonished, she looked at Zhuang Nainai. After a while, he suddenly said to Mr. Si slowly, “Mr. Si, I have saved you face by not creating a ruckus. But it seems like a random outsider doesn’t know how to appreciate our kindness!”
Looking slightly troubled, she said, “Lack of knowledge is a really scary thing.”
Her casual remark was charged with aggressiveness.
Withstanding her imposing aura, Zhuang Nainai raised her head in determination. Before Si Zhengting could speak, she said slowly, “Ms. Xiao, I don’t belong here indeed. However, is everyone here allowed to bully others when they win and go back on their words when they lose?!”
Instantly, Xiao Caibai was even more bewildered. She was not bewildered by Zhuang Nainai’s tone. Instead, she was bewildered by the fact that Si Zhengting was actually not asking Zhuang Nainai to shut up even though she was picking on her incessantly, and this after Si Zhengting had already come out to salvage the situation!
Frowning, Xiao Caibai looked at Si Zhengting and said a.s.sertively, “Mr. Si, what do you think? Are you just going to let your guest be humiliated?”
Upon saying this, she looked at Zhuang Nainai. “Miss, let me remind you of something. Look at this place and the person you are up against clearly before you talk. I don’t think you’ll be able to withstand my wrath.”
After saying this, she looked at Si Zhengting again. “Mr. Si, I can’t help but say that I’m very disappointed by today’s visit.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Sizhe. “And you. If Grandpa finds out that I’ve been bullied outside, do you think he will let you off?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around to leave.
Was she trying to leave after humiliating someone?
Si Zhengting suddenly said, “Ms. Xiao.”
Xiao Caibai stopped in her tracks again. Her lips could not help but curl up.
Both of them were of the same standing. She refused to believe that Si Zhengting would really disregard the Xiao family for an ordinary person whom he had no relations with.
Then, Xiao Caibai heard Si Zhengting say slowly, “Firstly, I did not invite you guys to this event. Your sudden appearance has caught us off guard. Secondly, whether you are disappointed or not does not affect me at all.”
After saying this, he looked down.
He was well aware that the Xiao and the Si families both hold a remarkable standing. The Xiao family was even more influential overseas compared to the Imperial Group. This was totally not the time to offend the Xiao family. However, as he kept hearing her remarks that were belittling Nainai, he could not suppress his anger. He raised his head and fixed his cold gaze on Xiao Caibai.
For a second, his dignified aura dominated Xiao Caibai. He said slowly, “Furthermore, I believe Ms. Xiao isn’t someone who doesn’t keep her word, right? Elder Xiao seems to hate people who don’t keep promises the most.”
When Xiao Caibai heard this, her face turned pale.
She frowned and stared at Si Zhengting. “Mr. Si, what do you mean?”
Si Zhengting answered, “It’s exactly what you are thinking of.”
Xiao Caibai was stunned. “Are you asking me to kneel down in front of her?”
As soon as she said this, not only Xiao Caibai but everyone who was present at the event was stunned!
