Ding Mengya knew how to play games.
Her tricks worked well. By asking Si Zhengting to check on Zhuang Nainai upstairs, it made her appear magnanimous and understanding. On the other hand, it made Zhuang Nainai look timid and useless.
Was this Ding Mengya’s idea of an attack? Surprising her with this sudden meeting?
She had tried to separate them five years ago. Was she continuing five years later?
Zhuang Nainai instantly found her fighting spirit. She had not wanted to ignore her, but if she insisted on a battle, bring it on!
Was it not just acting? She could do that!
Zhuang Nainai plastered a huge smile on her face. “Let’s hurry down, it’s not nice to keep your mother waiting.”
Si Zhengting looked at her with confusion. “You’re not nervous anymore?”
“What’s there to be nervous about, your mother is so gentle and understanding, and approachable too. Why should I be nervous?”
She did not hold back on her compliments. If Ding Mengya were to bad-mouth her to Si Zhengting, Si Zhengting would have to reconsider!
How would you deal with your mother-in-law? She would read some web novels starting tonight to study the art of dealing with a monster-in-law!
Zhuang Nainai linked arms with Si Zhengting and made her way downstairs with him, all smiles.
The butler was very enthusiastic downstairs in the living room. There were already many platters of fruits on the coffee table.
He was sitting right across from and chatting with Ding Mengya right then.
“Lee, you aren’t that old, why don’t you find someone?”
“Well, I don’t want to keep looking, I’m happy on my own.”
“Do you not have needs sometimes?”
The butler flushed red. He cleared his throat and tried to change the topic. “Ma’am, try this melon, it’s very sweet.”
“I’m not interested in melons. There’s news on the internet that a handsome man married a blow-up doll. Lee, do you not like real girls? How about I give you one of those someday?”
“Ma’am… I don’t like it.”
“If you don’t like the Asians, you can order Caucasians, or is there someone that you fancy? You can make one of her.”
“Ma’am, these grapes are freshly plucked, try them…”
“If I wanted to eat grapes, I can fly to where they’re grown and eat them fresh. Who cares about your grapes? I’m only interested in your love life. You’ve been serving our family for so many years, I have to be responsible for your happiness!”
The butler stood up. “Ma’am, I have to go tend to other stuff.”
“Like what? I’m rarely here, push away whatever you have, sit down!”
The butler dared not move away and stood at the spot with a helpless expression on his face.
The other servants fought hard to contain their laughter. Whenever Ma’am made a visit, she would never fail to tease butler Lee.
Ding Mengya continued, “Lee, you don’t like blow-up dolls? You don’t like real girls either. You… you don’t like guys, do you?”
The butler was lost for words.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry about it! You are already past fifty, with not many years left to live. You are at an age where you can ignore what everyone thinks and do whatever you want for your happiness, isn’t that right? If you’re worried about what others might say, I can transfer you overseas. The foreigners are more open-minded, and they will accept you for what you are!”
The butler’s face twitched, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief when he turned to see Zhuang Nainai and Si Zhengting coming down the stairs.
