Chapter 305: Please Believe Me (3)

As she finished speaking, Zhuang Nainai suddenly found the state of things really laughable.
Because she had the opportunity to come into contact with the design drafts, and because she suddenly had the ability to purchase a house, she suddenly became a suspect?
No wonder Ding Mengya’s expression was so glum. Mi Nuo and Li Li had no idea of her status, but Ding Mengya knew of her relationship with Gu Deshou. Furthermore, she knew of the phone call that had happened previously. Could she perhaps be already sure that Zhuang Nainai was the person who had stolen the design drafts?
Zhuang Nainai bit her lips and glanced at Si Zhengting again.
Even if others didn’t know how she’d managed to get her hands on the money that she used to purchase the house, Si Zhengting was aware of that, right?
If that was the case, why had she been summoned to this meeting?
A flash of annoyance ran through Zhuang Nainai’s mind. The insubstantial evidence that they had mentioned was unable to explain anything. She lifted her head, and she shifted her gaze from Mi Nuo to Li Li.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Li Li’s stomachache at that time was a coincidence or a ploy to get Zhuang Nainai to retrieve the draft document from TZ’s office.
Zhuang Nainai didn’t know why, but she had this constant sense that there was an invisible net tightening around her.
She took a deep breath. A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. She spoke in a righteous manner, “I bought the house with money that had fallen from the sky. So what? If you doubt me, you can report me to the police or sue me in court. It seems like the Imperial Group lacks the authority to interrogate their employees.”
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and glared at Si Zhengting. Then, she turned and left!
Her haughty attitude shocked both Mi Nuo and Li Li. Li Li couldn’t help but call after her, “Zhuang Nainai!”
Zhuang Nainai turned back. “What, are you thinking of detaining your employee since I’m conveniently here for you to do so?”
Li Li choked.
Zhuang Nainai directed a sharp glare at her. “Also, I request for the company to clear my name. If you don’t, I’ll sue the company for damaging my reputation!”
Li Li was speechless.
Li Li and Mi Nuo could only stare helplessly at Si Zhengting and Ding Mengya as Zhuang Nainai marched away from the conference room.
Mi Nuo’s shock was evident from her face. She had never thought that an employee could be as arrogant as what she had just witnessed. She looked at Si Zhengting as she asked, “Mr. Si, what should be done regarding this matter?”
Si Zhengting was staring at the door to the meeting room with narrowed eyes. He was replaying the image of Zhuang Nainai leaving the room in a fit of anger, and he couldn’t stop the corners of his lips from lifting up slightly.
He found a furious Zhuang Nainai extremely cute. It was as though he had returned to the time when he was still in high school — she could get angry from a slight provocation from him.
Si Zhengting was still immersed in his memories when he heard Mi Nuo speaking.
His expression grew cold immediately. His voice was harsh as he warned, “In the future, if there are any suspicions against a particular employee, please provide concrete evidence first. The company does not need any baseless conjectures to be voiced. You and Li Li can leave the room first.”
Both Mi Nuo and Li Li were taken aback. Mi Nuo was especially surprised — her face was flushed from being chastised, and she bit her lips, then replied, “Yes.”
After Mi Nuo and Li Li left the conference room and shut the door, Si Zhengting glanced toward Ding Mengya. “Are you still suspicious of her?”
Ding Mengya nodded. “She’s the only person with a motive.” Ding Mengya continued, “Aren’t you suspicious of her too?”
Si Zhengting arched his eyebrows. “No.”
Ding Mengya was shocked. “Why did you allow her to be summoned here if you aren’t?”
Si Zhengting pressed his lips together. He sat on the sofa, his expression serious. He paused before replying earnestly, “Mother, she is my wife now regardless of how you feel toward her. I hope that you will not be suspicious of her.”
