Chapter 43: Saving Her Pride
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The three bodyguards all had on blank expressions, their eyes staring straight ahead.
Zhuang Nainai was instantly upset at their lack of display of guilt.
Recalling again her tumultuous journey here, Zhuang Nainai turned on her heel to leave.
I don’t need you to escort !
However, she regretted her words the minute she stepped out of the mansion gate.
There were only private residences in the vicinity, no form of public transportation was in sight, and only a small path led to the city.
Could she possibly reach the city area by nightfall if she were to go on foot?
At that instant, the hum of the car engine sounded behind her. The bodyguard drove to her side and rolled down the window. “Ms. Gu, please get in the car.”
Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.
How embarrassing to get into the car now...
But she mulled it over and decided that getting ho safely was more important than her pride.
Zhuang Nainai gave a soft cough. She lifted her chin and announced, “I won’t put you all in a spot and make Mr. Si put the bla on your incapability.”
The bodyguards internally mused that her worry was unnecessary.
The three n still wore no expressions on their faces. No words of thanks or even apology for the kidnap was uttered.
Zhuang Nainai’s burning wrath that she had been unable to unleash upon Si Zhengting was now directed at them. She felt like she had to say sothing to vent her displeasure.
She gave it a thought and continued, “Hey, I finally understand what it ans by ‘Like master, like servant.’”
They kept quiet but turned to look at her now.
Zhuang Nainai laughed. “Look at that deadpan face of you three, it will be difficult for you to find a wife next ti!”
The bodyguards did not know how to respond. Was she implying the sa for Mr. Si?
Zhuang Nainai looked forward and continued, “Even though your boss is rich and good-looking, he doesn’t have a wife! Given his icy cold deanor, I suppose he will be alone forever!”
The bodyguards did not know what to say.
Zhuang Nainai stared at the two bodyguards who’d blocked her entry days ago. “Hey, what are the nas of you two?”
One of them finally spoke in a cool voice. “Ms. Gu, I am Dashan, he is Xiaoshan.”
“Brothers, I see.” Zhuang Nainai nodded and asked in a small voice, “Say, the next ti your boss asks you to block , cut so slack?”
Her tone suddenly turned nacing at this point. “Or I will make life difficult for you!”
Feeling her courage and power growing within her, Zhuang Nainai then looked at her kidnapper. “What about you? What’s your na?”
“Ms. Gu, I’m...”
“I know, Burly! Such a fitting na!” Zhuang Nainai teased.
“My na is not Burly, it’s Huang Peidong!” The bodyguard twitched his lips and could not resist correcting her.
“Oh, right, let tell you, Burly, the next ti you kidnap , at least tell that your boss made you do it. If I were to be scared to death, how would you answer to your boss?”
Huang Peidong thought back to her endless antics on the car. Who would believe that she was scared to death?
Zhuang Nainai was on the verge of spilling more when Huang Peidong alerted her. “Ms. Gu, the intercom is connected in the car.”
Zhuang Nainai was stunned into silence. In an anxious and hopeful voice, she inquired, “Who’s on the line?”
Huang Peidong eyed her and replied, “Mr. Si.”
Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.
