After he heard this, Si Zhengting’s eyes dimmed. He nodded his head after a while. Under Zhuang Nainai’s curious gaze, he said, “Uncle Li has liked Madam Ding for a very long time.”
1Zhuang Nainai nodded and said moments later, “Then, your mother…”
When she said this, Si Zhengting looked down nonchalantly. “At that time, when Madam Ding and that man had a divorce, he left the marriage with nothing on the sole condition that…” Si Zhengting’s voice suddenly became cold as he spoke up to here. “…Madam Ding doesn’t remarry for the rest of her life.”
When she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened instantly. “What kind of condition is that?”
When Si Zhengting heard that, he narrowed his eyes as memories of the past started rushing back. Slightly unhappy, he pursed his lips and put his arm over Zhuang Nainai’s shoulders, as if doing that could make himself feel better. Then, he said slowly, “Uncle Li and my mother grew up together. He was adopted by the Ding family and they were considered childhood sweethearts. Uncle Li may just look like a butler, but he actually knows everything. Last time, he wasn’t a butler. He was working in the Imperial Group. When Madam Ding and that person were preparing for a divorce, that person immediately ordered that Uncle Li leave the Imperial Group. After Uncle Li left, he came to the Si family and became the butler.”
Butler Li looked urbane and he always sounded gentle and courteous whenever he spoke. He had a special position in the Si family.
Moreover, even though he was nearing his sixties, he still looked dashing.
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but exclaim, “Could it be that Butler Li isn’t married because…?”
Before she could finish speaking, Si Zhengting nodded. “That’s why Madam Ding has always felt guilty toward him and is always introducing potential partners to him.”
Zhuang Nainai dawned on something and let out a deep sigh.
She’d had a difficult life ever since she was young, but as long as she was tenacious and tolerant, she could eat and sleep all these years. She did not grow up in a wealthy family, so she did not know of anything that happened in such families.
As she listened to what Si Zhengting had said just now, she suddenly felt that… Madam Ding was actually very pitiful.
So what if she’s born into a wealthy family? Isn’t her life still filled with frustrations?
Zhuang Nainai sighed deeply.
Soon, it was nighttime. After a simple dinner, the small idle group sat down in front of the television and started watching the news broadcast.
It was already the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. By the day after tomorrow, everyone in Beijing would be going back to work one by one and the Chinese New Year atmosphere would wear off slowly.
At least the news broadcast was no longer talking about the same old Chinese New Year topics.
Zhuang Nainai was eating melon seeds while watching the television when she heard the news report, “… This year, a new topic of discussion regarding labor laws has surfaced again. This is to further maximize the interests of the workers in the country…”
As soon as Zhuang Nainai heard this, she became agitated. Pointing toward the television, she looked over at Si Zhengting. “Did you see that? Even the law is protecting the interests of us workers. I can sue you for both not paying me and deducting my pay, you bourgeoisie.”
Si Zhengting: “…”
Ever since the two of them had made up, Zhuang Nainai had not been fearing him at all. Now, she’d even dare to sue him?
His eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to teach Zhuang Nainai a lesson, she straightened her back and casually placed her fingers on her bump before saying, “You cannot hit or tickle me right now. If you hit or tickle me and I move, the babies might be harmed~”
Si Zhengting: “…!!”
