As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Sizhe was slightly stunned. Both of them looked at each other for a while before Cheng Sizhe smiled. “You know about this? Then you should be more careful of Mi Nuo in the future.”


  Zhuang Nainai: “.……”


  He actually made a casual remark and disregarded the company’s losses.

  For a moment, Zhuang Nainai did not know what to say.

  It seemed like Cheng Sizhe could tell that she was moved by him. Hence, he lifted his hand and patted her shoulder. He did it once. Just as he was going to go for a second pat, Xu Dazhi, who was standing beside them, suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Sizhe’s hand. “Mr. Cheng, thank you.”


  Cheng Sizhe: “.……”


  Zhuang Nainai: “.……”


  Both of them turned around to look at Xu Dazhi at the same time. Cheng Sizhe could not help but ask, “Why are you thanking me?”


  Si Zhengting: “.……”


  Actually, Si Zhengting did not know why he was thanking him. He saw him touching Zhuang Nainai, so he just grabbed his hand subconsciously, made up something on the spot, and said that. However, upon facing their stares now, he lowered his head and said slowly, “Thank you for the severance package.”


  Cheng Sizhe: “.……” So, Xu Dazhi was actually thanking him for the company’s bankruptcy? Was he clowning around with him?

  Cheng Sizhe pulled his hand back and looked at Zhuang Nainai.

  “Actually, I was indeed negligent regarding this matter. Therefore, it’s not your fault. You know, people who manage businesses should always have their guards up so they wouldn’t fall for any traps. I clearly looked at his resume, yet I failed to draw the connection between him and Mi Nuo, so that’s my mistake. You don’t have to feel too guilty over this.” Cheng Sizhe sounded very magnanimous.

  However, this only made Zhuang Nainai feel more uneasy.

  She bit her lip. She had wanted to say something when Cheng Sizhe’s phone rang.

  Cheng Sizhe gave Zhuang Nainai a nod before turning around to pick up the call.

  After closing the door, he answered the call and heard an elderly voice over the phone. “You motherf*cker! I helped you keep an eye on the Chengs, but who knew that you would be tricked by a nobody?!”


  After hearing this, Cheng Sizhe revealed a helpless look on his face instantly. “Grandpa.”


  The other party scoffed. “I’m not going to concede defeat! I heard that that nobody is called Mi Nuo? I also heard that she did that because she has something against the female designer in your company? Who’s the female designer? Ask her for compensation! After she compensates you, you would be able to carry on with your business. If you are too embarrassed to ask her, let me do it!”


  After hearing this, Cheng Sizhe did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Grandpa, you are a government official. If news of your bullying others spread to the public, your reputation would be tarnished.”


  The other party scoffed again. “What? Are you still defending her? Do you like her? She does look pretty. It’s a pity that she’s just a surrogate who gave birth to two sons for other people. But women like her could be really good at childbearing. If you want her, go for it. She could give birth to two sons for you. That old fart in your family doesn’t want grandchildren, so he’s giving you away, but I want grandchildren. Once they are born, they shall keep my last name!”


  Cheng Sizhe really did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Grandpa, what are you talking about?”


  “Hmph! I’m infuriated whenever this is brought up! The Xiao family is really formidable. They don’t have a son, so they are resorting to snatching one from others? They say they would let Xiao Caibai marry you, but your children would keep the Xiaos last name! How can I let my grandson marry into the bride’s family? That old fart in your family is really shameless!”
