Huang Xiao’ai yelled, “Is that how you treat your customers? Look, you’ve angered Mr. Si!”
Her words stunned Zhuang Nainai into silence.
She glanced at him. He looked cross indeed.
Recalling how she got herself barred from the Imperial Group building from bickering with Zuo Yiyi in the morning, Zhuang Nainai held back her retort.
Rage burned within her. She almost turned to leave.
But if she were to leave today, when would be the next time she could meet him again? The bodyguards around Si Zhengting were not easy to get past.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists repeatedly and stood unmoving.
Emboldened by Si Zhengting’s positive response towards herself from earlier, Huang Xiao’ai haughtily ordered, “Go pour Mr. Si a drink!”
Serve him drinks?
Zhuang Nainai looked in his direction, feeling worse when he did not utter a single word.
Would he throw her out again if she refused to cooperate?
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath. Forget it, it’s no big deal.
She rounded to the corner of the room. A few bottles of alcohol were already open on the redwood furniture. She inspected the selection and picked up a glass, filling it with apple cider.
That was the drink with the lowest alcohol content.
How thoughtful and kind of her to consider his health when he was being so awfully mean.
Definitely his loss not to marry her!
Zhuang Nainai calmed at this thought.
The drinks were on the right side of the room. To get to Si Zhengting, she had to go past Huang Xiao’ai.
On the way back, her foot caught something. She stumbled, and the drink spilled. She would have surely soiled her dress if she had been more careless.
Steadying herself, she turned to see Huang Xiao’ai smugly retrieving her feet, looking almost disappointed that she did not do more damage.
Damn that girl!
Zhuang Nainai was on the verge of cursing. That girl knew no limit!
Her body shook with rage. Huang Xiao’ai carried on with her attack. “Hey, what a useless service personnel you are, why can’t you even serve drinks properly?”
She pointed to the bar and demanded, “Go bring Mr. Si another one!”
Zhuang Nainai tightened her fist into a ball.
That’s it!
She drew in a deep breath and paced back to the bar reluctantly.
Neither girl noticed Si Zhengting’s expression at that instant. Fury was written all over his face, and his cold eyes were fixed on Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai hesitated before the drinks and settled on a glass of wine.
She walked back to Huang Xiao’ai.
Huang Xiao’ai pouted at the wine in her hands and commented, “That’s not how you serve wine. How do you expect one to drink it when the glass is so full?”
Zhuang Nainai cracked a smile at her mockery. “It’s indeed inconvenient for drinking, but it wouldn’t be fun for pouring if it wasn’t filled!”
Huang Xiao’ai paused. “What do you mean?”
“It means…” A sparkle of mischief flashed across Zhuang Nainai’s eyes. She smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, the entire glass of red wine landed on Huang Xiao’ai.

What a series of dramatic twists and turns in the club today!
The whole room fell silent again.
All eyes were on Zhuang Nainai. No one had expected her to do something like that.
Zhuang Nainai was sporting a red dress. She looked very much like a princess in her triumphant expression.
She looked inexplicably attractive that way.
Si Zhengting watched quietly, his hardened gaze softening and returning to the cool shade of nonchalance. However, a soft glimmer was now present within.
Su Yanbing was not surprised. Zhuang Nainai, he knew, would never take that treatment in silence.
Zhuang Nainai returned the wine glass to the round dining table in a manner so calm and composed, it was as if nothing had happened.
Seconds later…
“AHHHHHH!”
Huang Xiao’ai screamed and jumped up.
The white dress she especially chose to wear for the occasion was stained a deep red – from her waist all the way down to the hem. She looked like a mess with her skirt clinging to her body.
Huang Xiao’ai glared at Zhuang Nainai vehemently. “You… you…”
Zhuang Nainai shrugged. “Oops, I’m sorry, I’m such a klutz, I can’t even serve drinks properly. I am indeed unfit as a club service staff, go ahead and lodge a complaint!”
That would not bother her one bit.
Huang Xiao’ai was about to explode with rage – this girl had just turned her own words against her! She shook in anger. “You! I am going to find your manager now! Just you wait!”
Curling her lips, Zhuang Nainai pointed at her dress and reminded, “Sure thing, I will wait up, but I suggest you get changed first. ”
Huang Xiao’ai was at a loss for words. Her chest heaved violently. “You… you…”
Not wishing for the scene to get even uglier, Su Yanbing interrupted to appease the girls. “Alright, alright, it’s all a big misunderstanding, we are all friends, do not make this hard for me, shall we let it go?”
“A misunderstanding? She did it on purpose!” Huang Xiao’ai shouted.
She might not be a somebody among this group of heirs, but the Huangs were rich too. She was pampered at home since birth and never was she treated like this.
Huang Xiao’ai suddenly turned to Si Zhengting, bit her lips, and cried pitifully, “Mr. Si, look what she had done! Such an insolent servant! How can she bully me like this even if she was your old acquaintance?! I… I…”
Huge tear drops fell as she spoke – what a pitiable sight.
All eyes now spun to Si Zhengting.
It was apparent that he called the shots in the room.
Zhuang Nainai stared at him in defiance, her chins lifted arrogantly.
So what if she bullied Huang Xiao’ai!
It did not matter what they went through five years ago and who was to blame. She was now Si Zhengting’s fiancée, it was only right that she got rid of all the girls offering themselves to him.
Whom would he choose, his fiancée or Huang Xiao’ai?
A pause.
“Scram.”
The single word cut like a knife.
Huang Xiao’ai gloatingly lifted her head. “Have you not heard? Mr. Si asked you to scram.”
Zhuang Nainai’s lids fluttered.
Scram?
Her heart tightened and her chest heaved. She bit her lips and stood rooted to the spot.
What a jerk!
Just as Huang Xiao’ai was about to continue her ridicule, Si Zhengting added in a cold voice, “I said, YOU scram!”
His long slender fingers were directed at Huang Xiao’ai.
