Hello, Heir - Chapter 778 - Nainai's Rebirth! Mi Nuo Suffers! (3)

Chapter 778: Nainai’s Rebirth! Mi Nuo Suffers! (3)

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a mocking expression on Ji Chen’s face. “Assassinate the Gus? For what? Is there any purpose in doing that?”

Mi Nuo was speechless.

The Gu family and the Imperial Group were of totally different rankings. Indeed, would there be any meaning in carrying out an assassination for a few million dollars?

But…

“I have never heard of Mr. Si and…” It seemed like mentioning this person made her unhappy. Frowning, she continued unwillingly, “…Zhuang Nainai being assassinated.”

Ji Chen scoffed. “Nobody would hear of the assassination attempt today either.”

Mi Nuo was speechless.

Blanking out, she stared ahead in a daze. In the past, she knew only that marrying into a rich family would be extremely glorious. But who knew that such threats existed behind closed doors?

Today was the first day of her being Mrs. Si, but she already felt as if… fear was air, enveloping her completely.

She swallowed again. “When will Mr. Si come over?”

Ji Chen looked down. “I don’t know about this.”

After Si Zhengting returned to the Si residence, he slept for only four hours. He woke up on time at 5 am and went to the kitchen to start practicing how to cook Zhuang Nainai’s confinement food today.

He passed the breakfast he had prepared for Zhuang Nainai to Su Yanbin, who had arrived on time. Then, he took off his apron and said, “I have a meeting at the office today. It will end at around 10 am, so I will head over in the afternoon.”

Su Yanbin nodded before driving off to deliver Zhuang Nainai’s porridge.

After Su Yanbin’s departure, Si Zhengting took a few bites of his breakfast quickly, grabbed his coat, and walked out. He had just walked out of the villa when his phone rang. Upon taking a glance, he realized that the call was from Ji Chen. Hence, he accepted the call and Ji Chen’s voice could be heard over the phone. “Sir, Mi Nuo…”

Before he could finish speaking, a figure caught his eyes. Someone had already rushed up to him. Stopping in his tracks subconsciously, Si Zhengting did not bother concealing the disdain in his gaze as he looked up. He saw Mi Nuo standing in front of him.

Mi Nuo’s face was ashen and she was trembling, but her eyes lit up when she saw Si Zhengting.

Yesterday, she had doubted her life and felt that there was nothing good about being Mrs. Si. However, after seeing him today, she felt like everything was worth it. Mi Nuo said, “Mr. Si, I’m injured. Why didn’t you come and visit me?”

Si Zhengting glanced at her nonchalantly. Completely ignoring her, he walked out.

Mi Nuo had wanted to chase after him, but the bodyguards stopped her. Without looking at her once, Si Zhengting got into the car and drove off. As Mi Nuo watched on, she yelled anxiously, “Mr. Si! Mr. Si! You can’t ignore me. I’m Mrs. Si! I’m Gu Qingyan! How could you treat me like this?!”

In the car, Si Zhengting’s expression was very somber. The call had not ended. Over the phone, Ji Chen’s voice sounded rather weak. “We have warned the people outside to keep their guards up consistently, but we didn’t expect her to run out suddenly. Sir, this is my mistake. I will ask someone to keep an eye on her and prevent her from going out.”

Si Zhengting pursed his lips before saying moments later, “No need.”

Ji Chen was taken aback. “Mr. Si?”

Si Zhengting looked ahead with an icy gaze. “Let her go wherever she wants. If she doesn’t loiter outside, how can those people scare her?”

“Yes, Sir. I got it.”

Since the day Zuo Yiyi smashed her phone in the apartment, she had not come by once. Lin Xi’er was the only one accompanying Zhuang Nainai in the apartment. Meanwhile, Su Yanbin and Xu Dazhi reported to the apartment and left the place punctually every day.

Around 20 days later, Zhuang Nainai looked more revitalized.

Zhuang Nainai finally got the chance to say to Xu Dazhi, “You don’t have to come here tomorrow. You should go to work.”
