Chapter 48: Zhuang Nainai Fights Back!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Deshou turned and looked at Zhuang Nainai again.
Zhuang Nainai knew that they would not let it go if they did not achieve their goal. She took out her phone, scrolled to her recent calls, and showed it to Gu Deshou. “Since you don’t trust me, look closely now, this is Mr. Si’s number, isn’t it?”
Gu Deshou knew Mr. Si’s number by heart. He took a single glance to confirm it.
Zhuang Nainai pretended to hold up the phone again. “Perhaps I should make another call since you don’t believe me. But Dad, you must understand why he would marry me. What he hated most was clingy women. If I were to disturb and upset him, don’t put the blame on me if the wedding gets cancelled!”
She finished and proceeded to hit the call button.
Gu Deshou’s heart shook.
The reason why Mr. Si agreed to marry Zhuang Nainai was because she got into his bed…
If he were to be annoyed, he could easily change his mind and decide to not take responsibility!
Gu Deshou immediately tried to snatch the phone from Zhuang Nainai’s hands, but he suddenly recalled what happened minutes earlier to Gu Xinghao. He switched to grabbing her wrist instead and said, “Qingyan, what is all these for? How can I not believe you? Don’t listen to Xinghao, of course I believe you! Mr. Si is a busy man, let’s not disturb him.”
Zhuang Nainai was relentless. “Look at my brother and sister, they don’t trust me one bit! I have to prove my innocence or anybody can mock me in this family!”
Gu Deshou turned to reprimand Gu Xinghao and Gu Xingshan. “You two be respectful to your Big Sister from now on! She’s the eldest in this family, behave yourself!”
The two siblings were unconvinced; defiance was written all over their faces. Li Yufeng shot them a warning look, and they both looked down dejectedly.
Zhuang Nainai could not help but add fuel to the fire. “Why does it feel like my brother and sister are unhappy?”
Gu Deshou stared daggers at them and they simultaneously reassured her, “No, Sister, we are very happy!”
Zhuang Nainai felt her anger dissipate upon the change of the family’s attitude towards her. Especially Gu Deshou, he had lost his domineering demeanor from when he threatened her with Mother Zhuang.
Zhuang Nainai put down the phone and continued, “Dad, I’m not a puppet, why should I call just because you want me to? I think I know Mr. Si’s likes and dislikes better than anyone.”
Gu Deshou replied in an appeasing tone, “Yes, that’s right, no one can force you to call Mr. Si from now on.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded, finally relieved.
She could keep up with the lie for at least two months. So, in the meantime, she needed to either make Si Zhengting marry her or figure out a way to find her mother and leave with her.
Comparing the two options…
Zhuang Nainai felt the latter was easier when Si Zhengting’s cold face loomed into her mind.
Having made her decision, Zhuang Nainai was about to put down her phone when it suddenly rang.
She cocked her head and looked at the number on display. She almost threw the phone on the floor when she saw who was calling.
It was Si Zhengting!
Wh-why would he call her?
Her heart drummed against her chest as she watched the flicker on her screen.
