Chapter 816: Si Zhengting, What Exactly Are You Hiding? (12)
Raising her chin slightly, Xiao Caibai looked at Zhuang Nainai very confidently. Her lips curled and she said, “Miss, you wouldn’t go back on your words in front of so many people, would you?”
After she finished speaking, she stared straight at her in an imposing and upfront manner.
The entire event hall became silent instantly. Everyone looked at Xiao Caibai, but none of them felt like her behavior was inappropriate. This was because she was a view to behold just by standing there. Regardless of whether she was gentle or aggressive, every frown and smile of hers carried a magnificent aura that was unique to her.
Zhuang Nainai was good-looking. Under closer inspection, one could even say that her features were more exquisite than those of Xiao Caibai. However, Xiao Caibai just exuded elegance and grandeur that was naturally cultivated by wealth. This was something that could not be easily cultivated as an adult no matter how hard one tried.
Someone like her deserved the right to be naturally prideful.
As Zhuang Nainai stood on stage and watched her, her mind drifted elsewhere.
There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Her eyes were even secretly twinkling with excitement.
She didn’t feel humiliated nor scared. She didn’t even think about how humiliating the looming punishment would be. Looking past Xiao Caibai, her gaze was fixed on the lounge behind her.
After Zhuang Nainai finished playing the piano, she knew that she would lose for sure. No. To be exact, when Xiao Caibai wanted to have a bet with her so confidently, she already knew that she could not win against her.
Although she was well aware of this, she still could not help but accept the bet.
She wasn’t a fool. She wasn’t inviting disaster by overestimating herself, nor was she walking right into her trap. She just… knew that this was Si Zhengting’s territory. She knew that Si Zhengting wouldn’t let her suffer.
She didn’t even have a talent that she could show off. She also didn’t have a status that was comparable to that of this high and mighty lady. She was just… acting in a fit of pique.
Yes. She was acting in a fit of pique.
She’d managed to muddle her way in painstakingly just to see him, but he didn’t even say a word to her!
Furthermore, he’d ordered people to guard the lounge after he entered the room, not giving her the opportunity to even go near him.
He’s not coming out, was he?
Then she shall stir up trouble during this event.
But he still didn’t make an appearance.
She pursed her lips. Slightly nervous, she began losing hope slowly.
Was he really not going to meet her? Was he really going to witness her being bullied?
Like a child that had just declared war with her parents, she became stubborn and willful, causing her eyes to sting. She felt like crying, but she couldn’t bring herself to cry.
All of this happened because of her. Who could she blame?
She pursed her lips. Then, she heard Xiao Caibai say, “Miss, please go ahead.”
In front of her, everyone had already automatically made way and created a huge space. Thereafter, everyone looked at Zhuang Nainai.
The shareholders of the Imperial Group looked at Zhuang Nainai and exchanged looks with each other. They did not dare to say anything.
Zhuang Nainai was just an expired Mrs. Si. Didn’t they witness how Mr. Si did not even spare her any respect?
So, she was merely a used-to-be Mrs. Si now! After her status of being Mrs. Si had been forfeited, what was she? She’s just any other person!
However, just as everyone was silently lighting a candle for Zhuang Nainai in their hearts, an imposing and cold voice sounded from the lounge. “Who says that she has lost?”
Stunned, everyone turned around as if on cue, only to see Si Zhengting striding over.
