"I think she's grossly overestimating her own worth!"
"Chase her out!"
"That's right! In such an important venue like this, we've got to chase her out!"
Just as everyone was verbally prosecuting Zhuang Nainai, the area around the entrance grew restless. There was something going on!
The entire event venue fell silent!
Zhuang Nainai turned her attention to the door together with everyone else. She spotted Si Zhengting walking in, his bodyguards surrounding him.
He was in a swallow-tail coat, which made his usually cold and indifferent expression slightly livelier. In fact, the way he was now could even put some male celebrity guests to shame! Zhuang Nainai felt as if all the spotlights in the venue were on him.
He had always had his own personal charisma — the moment he appeared anywhere, he would always steal the spotlight without regard for the status of the people around him.
He was the epitome of perfection. Yet, what was she?
While Zhuang Nainai was still zoning out, Zuo Yiyi's eyes had already brightened, and she paced quickly toward Si Zhengting.
As she watched her figure approaching Si Zhengting, and seeing how both of them were getting closer and closer to each other, an inexplicable feeling rose in Zhuang Nainai's heart.
She stared at them, watching as Zuo Yiyi greeted Si Zhengting, to which Si Zhengting coldly nodded his head. Zuo Yiyi then took her place beside him, poising herself as the mistress of the party and beginning to greet the people around her.
But Si Zhengting didn't push her away. He didn't refuse.
As she watched on, Zhuang Nainai's heart grew cold.
Unconsciously, she shifted her gaze away from them and suddenly spotted a figure moving past the area where Mi Nuo was standing!
Mi Nuo seemed as if she was covering up for something… or someone.
That figure looked highly familiar. It was… the reporter that had just been chased out by Ji Chen!
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her brows and began walking quickly toward where Mi Nuo was. But just as she did so, a figure came up to block her way: it was Huang Biqing.
At the same time, Si Zhengting and Zuo Yiyi were now near them!
Huang Biqing's eyes brightened. She shouted, "Mr. Si!"
In the face of the silence in the event venue, her shout was particularly loud and pronounced.
Everyone in the event venue paused and turned to look at Huang Biqing.
Even Si Zhengting, who had been using his cell phone, paused and lifted his head, turning to where Huang Biqing and Zhuang Nainai were.
He had originally intended to simply ignore Huang Biqing, but the moment he spotted Zhuang Nainai standing beside her, his eyes narrowed and he halted his footsteps.
As she was agitated, Huang Biqing's face had turned red by now. "Mr. Si, someone's causing trouble during the Imperial Group's 100th Year Anniversary Celebration!"
That statement caught the attention of everyone; now, they simply waited for the drama to unfold.
—
Si Zhengting checked his cell phone repeatedly, keeping his eyes peeled for any news on Si Jingyu.
Shi Jinyan was now sending him messages frequently, almost once every two minutes.
Just before stepping into the event venue, he had been talking to Shi Jinyan, who said that they had found no trace of Si Jingyu even though they had already been searching the deserted island for around 20 hours.
When Si Zhengting was entering the event venue, he was still wondering why they hadn't been able to locate Si Jingyu.
Was it because they had gotten the coordinates of the island wrong? Or had Si Jingyu already met with a mishap?
