Chapter 349: Who Was Framing Her? (17)

Her heart jolted.

Si Zhengting had not even contacted her once ever since she stepped out of the Si residence. Now that Executive Assistant Ji was calling her, did it an that Si Zhengting was finally doing sothing?

Staring at the phone for a few monts, her heart in turmoil, she then finally decided to pick up the phone.

Ji Chen was courteous. “Hello, Madam.”

Zhuang Nainai bit her lips and grunted softly. “Is anything the matter?”

Hearing this, even the usually gentle Ji Chen beca awkward. He stamred, “Erm, it’s... I... I’m calling you to...”

Willing himself to be resolute, he said the remainder of his words in a hurry. “I’m calling you to inform you to report for work tomorrow.”

“Work?” Zhuang Nainai was confused.

Ji Chen replied, “Yes. Madam, since you’re now suspected of stealing the design drafts, you have to report to work every day. Until the matter is investigated thoroughly, please cooperate with any inquiry that we might have.”

Having said this, Ji Chen lanted in his heart, Mr. Si, I know that you want to have Madam in your sights all the ti, but you don’t have to say hurtful things like this! And what’s worse, why am I the one who has to say it?!

Madam was one to bear grudges — all he had to do was to look to Dazhuang’s na.

Could it be that his na was going to beco “Dachen” after this incident?

Oh no! Request for... a pay raise!

Zhuang Nainai was, of course, unable to detect Ji Chen’s complicated feelings. The only thing that she caught onto was the phrase of “please cooperate with any inquiry that we might have,” making her heart hurt a little.

She was obviously not a thief. What right did they have to treat her like this?

But since Ji Chen had said so, it was obvious that it was the intention of Si Zhengting. Biting her lips, Zhuang Nainai briefly gave a cold smile and replied to Ji Chen with a simple grunt before hanging up.

As soon as the call ended, Lin Xi’er looked at Zhuang Nainai curiously. “Nainai, what’s wrong? Why do you not look too well?”

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and shook her head. “Nothing.”

Lin Xi’er asked, “Well, then what was the thod you were talking about just now?”

“Whoever the person that Li Yufeng wants to protect is, he or she must have stolen Si Jingyu’s design drafts through access to the company. So, as long as I go to work, I’ll be able to hunt down the mole in the office and eventually find out who’s been framing .”

Lin Xi’er’s eyes brightened. “Oh my, you’re truly the better one at things regarding logic! But now that you’ve moved out of the Si residence, can you still go to work at the Imperial Group?”

Could she?

A few monts before, she had just been thinking about what excuse to use to be able to go to work, or what to say to Si Zhengting should she et him... But now, she only felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest.

The next day, Zhuang Nainai rose early and reported to work on ti.

She was a little early, so most of the company staff had not yet arrived when she entered the office.

But the few colleagues who had were visibly surprised at her presence.

Zhuang Nainai greeted them, but so lowered their heads and ignored her.

Without taking it to heart, Zhuang Nainai sat down at her seat. A while later, Su i arrived, and, seeing Zhuang Nainai, she was utterly shocked. “Zhuang Nainai, why are you here?”
