Hello, Heir

Chapter 714: The Marriage Contract Between the Gus and the Sis (1)

As she said this, she hesitated for a moment. After a while, she sighed.

Her tone prompted Zhuang Nainai to ask, “Is she a really good friend of yours?”

After hearing this, Ding Mengya turned to look at Zhuang Nainai and nodded. “Yeah, we grew up together. We were best friends.”

Zhuang Nainai asked, “Where is she now? Why don’t I see the two of you contacting each other?”

Upon her hearing this, Ding Mengya’s gaze dimmed immediately. “She passed away.”

Zhuang Nainai immediately said softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know...”

Ding Mengya was only in her fifties. Her best friend must be around her age as well. Hence, Zhuang Nainai had never thought that she would have passed away already. No wonder Ding Mengya was so upset when she was mentioned.

Ding Mengya smiled at her. “It’s okay. It has been over 20 years since she passed.”

As Ding Mengya said this, she looked at her again. “Actually, you resemble her. Particularly when we shopped today, I was reminded of how we used to shop together years ago.”

Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. She resembled Ding Mengya’s best friend?

Seeing her widen her eyes, Ding Mengya sighed. “Actually, she was the reason both of us could become in-laws... But, never mind. There is no use in saying these things anymore. Nainai, I just hope that you and Zhengting can last long. I’m old now, so I have put aside everything.”

After she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s heart wrenched a little unknowingly.

She pursed her lips. She had wanted to ask what she meant by that, but her expression seemed to tell her that asking her about it would cause her to feel sad. Hence, she pursed her lips and remained silent, only nodding her head in the end.

However, a question she had popped up in her mind quietly.

All these while, before getting married to Si Zhengting, she had chased him. After getting married, they encountered all sorts of misunderstandings and disputes. Then, she got pregnant, which caused her to become foolish. Hence, she had been neglecting this question all these while.

She thought of it again only now.

Gu Deshou had built the Gu Corporation from scratch and it took 20 years for the Gu Corporation to expand to such a scale.

On the other hand, the Sis was a well-established family that owned a large business. How was it possible that these two contrasting families had a marriage contract?

It seemed like she had to ask Si Zhengting about this tonight.

After reaching home, she saw Si Zhengting walk out of the living room. He had already prepared his car and was about to head out.

Zhuang Nainai got off the car. Supporting her bump, she asked, “You came back so early? Are you... heading out again?”

After seeing them, Si Zhengting went down the stairs quickly, approached her, and supported her naturally. “I was just about to go and find both of you.”

Then, he looked at Zhuang Nainai’s bump. “Your bump is so big. Aren’t you tired from walking around?”

Zhuang Nainai shook her head and followed him into the house.

After having dinner, Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting went upstairs to rest.

As they entered the bedroom, Zhuang Nainai asked, “Our mother talked about the marriage contract between the Gus and Sis today. Why do both our families have a marriage contract?”

After hearing this, Si Zhengting suddenly stopped taking off his clothes. Moments later, he could not help but smile. “That’s between the elderlies. I’m not too sure about it.”

“Not too sure?” Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened instantly as she showed a look of disbelief. “How can you not be sure of this?”

Si Zhengting smiled. “Because Madam Ding and I have never cared about this marriage contract.”

Zhuang Nainai was stunned at first, but she understood what he meant moments later.
