Chapter 913: The Birthday Party, Who’s Slept with Whom? (4)

Si Zhengting was standing there. He was wearing a bespoke black suit that accentuated his tall figure. Hence, he looked especially composed. However, his face was as fair as that of an immortal being. He was so unbelievably good-looking that it could enrage one.

He exuded an aloof and distant feeling. It seemed like the words “strangers are unwelcome” were written all over him.

At that moment, his dark gaze landed on Liu Xinshui.

Standing at her original spot, Zhuang Nainai watched Si Zhengting’s reaction intently. Unknowingly, her grip around the goblet that she was holding tightened slightly.

He stared at Liu Xinshui for a while. Thereafter, Liu Xinshui seemed to have told him something. He, who was usually a cold and distant person, nodded before walking into the venue.

Although his attitude remained aloof, people who knew Si Zhengting well would know that that nod from him was already a rare act of amenability.

Zhuang Nainai did not know how she felt right now as a mix of emotions overwhelmed her.

It had been a very, very long time since they last saw each other. She realized that her heart still ached.

Anyway, he had always been an imposing figure whom everyone looked up to. On the other hand, she used to be the daughter of the Gu family. She was not a good match for him.

She had been working very hard to improve her status so that she could be a good enough match for him.

However, she realized that it seemed like the harder she worked, the more distant she was from him.

Clenching her fists, she suddenly did not know what to say or what to do.

Just as she was in a daze, Cheng Sizhe appeared out of nowhere. He tapped on her shoulders and pointed somewhere not far away. “Old Mr. Liu is here. We should go greet him.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded and followed Cheng Sizhe.

Old Mr. Liu was nearing his sixties, but he still looked very strong and astute. No one could underestimate him due to his shrewd and circumspect gaze.

He spotted Si Zhengting first. Immediately, he strode toward him and gave Si Zhengting a nod with a smile.

Si Zhengting said, “Uncle Liu, I wish you great happiness and longevity.”

Old Mr. Liu chuckled instantly. “Si, I am already happy that you are here today. I heard that there were many major changes to your family in the span of one year. Is your mother doing well?”

Si Zhengting answered, “Everyone is doing well. Thanks for your concern, Uncle Liu.”

Old Mr. Liu shook his head and sighed. “She has always been strong-minded. Who would have known that something like that would happen to her? I went to the hospital to visit her and she has forgotten about everything. But she is still blessed to be able to live like this now. I heard that you are divorced. Divorcing a woman who is violent toward her mother-in-law is for the best. People like us, who are from prestigious families, should marry women with virtue.”

After saying this, he changed the subject suddenly. He gestured and said, “Xinshui, quick, come over here. Si, let me introduce my daughter. Although she is my goddaughter, I feel closer to her than to my own daughter! Both of you just met. You guys should talk.”

The innuendo in his words was very obvious.

Liu Xinshui walked over and looked up at Si Zhengting very innocently. Then, she said with a smile, “I got to know Mr. Si a long time ago. Isn’t that so, Si Zhengting?”

That intimate tone and interaction, which was as if they had known each other for years…

As Zhuang Nainai watched them, she furrowed her brows. Before any idea could pop up in her head, she heard Zuo Yiyi’s voice from behind. “This Liu Xinshui! How can her eyes resemble yours so much? And the way she calls Brother Ting’s name is exactly the same way you do!”
