Sitting in the car, Zhuang Nainai was responding to Lin Xi’er and Zuo Yiyi’s talking at first. However, as they were inching closer to the Si residence, she started talking lesser and lesser. The familiar and exquisite surroundings flashed past them. The magnificent forest and flowers that bloomed in the winter all looked familiar to her.

  Though the scenery stayed the same, the relationship between Si Zhengting and her…… had become an unknown.

  She clenched her fists tightly. She could feel her heart slightly wrenching as they got closer to the villa. She was scared that she would hear an unfavorable answer when she saw him later.

  However, regardless of how nervous she was, there was an end to every route.

  As they drove Su Yanbin’s car, there were no obstructions from the guards at the entrance. Hence, they drove in straight to the Si residence’s door.

  However, the big iron gates of the Si residence did not welcome their arrival like they did in the past.

  Su Yanbin pressed on his car horn several times before the side gate of the big iron gates opened slightly. Thereafter, a housekeeper popped her head out. Su Yanbin rolled down the windows and said to her, “Open the door. What are you waiting for?”


  The housekeeper was taken aback upon seeing Su Yanbin. “Mr. Su?”


  Su Yanbin waved his hands impatiently. “Now that you have recognized me, can you open the door quickly?!”


  The housekeeper shook her head. “We didn’t hear about Mr. Su’s visit, so we can’t open the door.”


  Su Yanbin had wanted to say something, but the rest of what he wanted to say was lodged in his throat when he looked into the rearview mirror.

  Because Zhuang Nainai had already opened the door and gotten out of the car.

  The moment she got out of the car, everyone else followed suit.

  Zhuang Nainai raised her head and looked at the big and imposing iron gates. In the past, whenever she was here, the gates would open automatically, so she had never observed the gates from such close proximity before.

  This gate was actually so tall and huge!

  It was so imposing that it was difficult for her to get past this gate now that she wasn’t Mrs. Si.

  Zhuang Nainai felt how small she was once again.

  She had never believed that one’s background could determine one’s life. However, after living here for so long and having to go back to square one, she could see the difference between heaven and earth. She finally understood the Chinese saying that went, “Two people are a great match only if they come from similar backgrounds.”


  Marriage was never between two people but, rather, two families.

  In this marriage, she was always the passive one. From marriage to divorce, Si Zhengting had never given her a choice.

  At the thought of this, she clenched her fists tightly.

  Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai, the housekeeper’s eyes widened in shock instantly. Moments later, she said in complete surprise, “Madam?!”


  Recently, news of Mrs. Si’s replacement had spread like wildfire. They had also talked about this privately. The new Madam was not living here, and there’d been no news of Zhuang Nainai for a month, so when she appeared here, that housekeeper was so shocked.

  Looking at her, Zhuang Nainai asked in a deep voice, “Can you ask Mr. Si if he is willing to let me in and talk to him?”


  The housekeeper was suddenly put in a spot. “Erm…… The Si residence doesn’t welcome anyone right now. You should go back.”


  Zuo Yiyi stepped forward immediately and scolded sternly, “What do you mean doesn’t welcome anyone? How is it possible that Brother Ting doesn’t want to see Zhuang Nainai? Go and ask him. You shouldn’t be making the decisions! Brother Ting might not want to see anyone else, but he would surely want to meet Zhuang Nainai!”


  After hearing this, the housekeeper was slightly taken aback. Seeing the people present, she nodded at last. “Alright…… I will go and ask him.”
