Although they were all blood-related, Zhuang Nainai had never seen them as family.

During this time, the reason Gu Deshou instructed Gu Xinghao to distract Si Zhengting must be that he had something to tell her. She wanted to hear just what he wanted to say.

After they finished eating lunch, Gu Xinghao unwillingly invited Si Zhengting to take a stroll at the garden outside the villa. Si Zhengting looked at Zhuang Nainai again.

Zhuang Nainai had no idea that when Si Zhengting was treating someone nicely, he would actually pay so much attention to details. He could be so thoughtful and gentle that it felt like a dream.

She nodded at him. Thus, Si Zhengting stood up, but he did not leave with Gu Xinghao immediately. Instead, he looked at Gu Deshou and said, Mr. Gu, please take good care of Nainai.

Such a polite remark actually had a hidden meaning:I would be heading out, but if anything happens to her, you would be held accountable!

It sent chills down Gu Deshous spine all of a sudden. Hence, after Si Zhengting had left, his attitude towards Zhuang Nainai was very gentle. Qingyan, lets have a talk in the study room upstairs.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xingshan and ordered, Get your sister a cup of tea!

Gu Xingshans face darkened as she clenched her jaws.

Zhuang Nainai followed Gu Deshou upstairs and was handed a share transfer agreement by him. Qingyan~, it was agreed upon that your dowry would be 20% of the Gu Corporations shares. The transfer has just been settled, so I will be handing this over to you now.

Though Zhuang Nainai was holding the agreement in her hands, she did not feel any excitement or joy from becoming wealthy. Instead, her heart sank.

These shares would definitely not be passed to her easily.

If she could, she wished she did not have it.

Placing the agreement on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Zhuang Nainai looked at Gu Deshou calmly. Wheres my Mother? Where exactly did you hide her?

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Li Yufeng walked in with two cups of tea. When she heard what Zhuang Nainai had said, her facial expression, which had just lightened up, darkened and turned ashen again.

She looked at Zhuang Nainai with eyes that were about to explode with fire. Gu Qingyan, do you even have a heart?! I can close an eye on how you are still calling that thief Mother, but how can you talk to us in this manner because of her?

Zhuang Nainai stood up instantly. Im saying this again. My mother is not a thief!

She is a thief! It was she who stole my child back then! If it wasnt for her, both of us mother and daughter would not have been separated for so long! We wouldnt be like this now either mother and daughter not acting like mother and daughter but like enemies! Father and daughter not acting like father and daughter as well. When we ask you to help out the family, we still have to create a plan deliberately and painstakingly!

As she ranted, her eyes turned red suddenly. The hysterical emotions shown in her eyes were more real than ever.

Zhuang Nainai became speechless all of a sudden. She bit her lips and looked at Li Yufeng.

Putting herself in her shoes, she realized that Li Yufengs animosity towards her was not for no reason.

She had tried so hard to search for her daughter for 20 years, but when she finally found her after going through so much trouble, she realized that her heart was actually with that thief. How could she not hate her daughter given her ego?

However, the grace of bringing up a child was greater than the grace of giving birth.

The kindness of Mother Zhuang towards Zhuang Nainai would be etched in her heart as long as she lived.

On the other hand, how were her biological parents treating her?

One was hostile while the other was scheming.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her head.

Li Yufengs soft sobs resounded in the study room. She seemed to sense that she was losing self-control, thus she turned around and left after putting the cups on the coffee table.
