Hello, Heir

Just before she could say anything, the line became busy.

Glancing at her cell phone and knowing that nobody would answer her call, she decided to make a call back anyway. She still had a shred of hope in her heart. As expected, there was no answer.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned. She felt a chill behind her back, as if something dark was revolving around her, refusing to leave.

What did this person mean?

Be careful of Li Yufeng?

What was wrong with Li Yufeng?

She clenched her fists, unsure of what to do next. The only course of action was to take a deep breath, put this prank call behind her, and walk into the private room.

In the private room, everyone had begun to fool around once more, but Su Jinhui was starkly absent from his seat.

Puzzled, Zhuang Nainai walked over, only for Zhang Tingting to explain, “Mr. Si suddenly thought of something that the design department has yet to finish. In order to allow the rest of us to continue having fun, Leader Su has gone back to work overtime.”

What?

Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and looked toward Si Zhengting. His expression was still cold, and Zhuang Nainai immediately thought, This man must be doing it on purpose!

During their high school days, he had been someone who’d get jealous every now and then, and he had forbidden her from talking to Su Yanbin. Little did she expect him to be even more prone to jealousy now!

At the thought of this, Zhuang Nainai felt like she couldn’t take this lying down.

She was a person, not a thing! What right did he have to be so possessive over her?

Seeing everyone having fun at the expense of Su Jinhui working overtime alone in the office made her feel bad. More than that, however, she also wanted to spite Si Zhengting, so she walked over and grabbed her jacket. Turning to Zhang Tingting, she said, “In that case, I’m going back to the office too, just in case Leader Su isn’t able to handle everything by himself. Have fun, but remember that y’all still have to be at work tomorrow morning~”

Zhang Tingting and the rest of the coworkers assented immediately. Without even so much as another glance at Si Zhengting, Zhuang Nainai walked straight out.

Seeing Zhuang Nainai do this, Si Zhengting stood up as well. “Have fun, guys, I’ll take my leave first.”

Without saying another word, he walked toward the entrance.

Ji Chen followed after Si Zhengting, cordially adding, “Since the two leaders have already left, Mr. Si won’t stay to bother all of you any longer~”

With that, he followed Si Zhengting quickly.

Zhuang Nainai was still fuming; Si Zhengting really got on her nerves!

She was standing by the roadside and attempting to flag down a taxi when she spotted Si Zhengting’s Maybach approaching. With a cold expression on his face, he said, “Get in the car.”

Zhuang Nainai curled her lips and lowered her head. She flashed a superficial smile and replied, “No, thank you. I can flag down my own transport.”

Just as Si Zhengting was about to say something else, Zhuang Nainai spotted a taxi stopping nearby. She dashed over to the taxi immediately.

“To the Imperial Group building.” With that, Zhuang Nainai settled into the car.

In the taxi, the atmosphere calmed down — she wasn’t willing to think about her complicated relationship with Si Zhengting. Instead, she began to consider the words from the stranger over the phone.

The voice of the person had been altered; who could it have been? Why did he or she choose to warn her?

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the driver’s cell phone rang and he picked up the phone. With a loud voice, he shouted into the cell phone, “What?!”

“…”

“What? Damn! That b****! Bullying our brother like that?!”

“…”

“Our brother just came out of jail? He was sentenced to seven years, right? How come he’s out now? It’s only been five years!”
