In the police station, inside the detention room...

Weak light illuminated Zhuang Nainai’s curled-up body, her thin frame evoking sympathy from even the policemen who were on guard duty outside the room.

Zhuang Nainai’s gaze was fixed ahead of her, looking somewhat stunned.

She had never thought that the issue would have blown up the way it did now.

She simply imagined her reputation being slightly tarnished from the plagiarism issue if she was indeed the one determined to be the perpetrator.

And even if the Imperial Group were to sue her, it would have been the simple problem of paying monetary compensation. But now...

She suddenly realized how simplistic her thinking had been.

But even if she had not thought of this consequence — her going to jail — had Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng not thought of it?

Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists tightly and curled her body inwards even more. She felt a boundless sense of cold, a cold that covered her whole body.

She felt alone.

In this world, there probably wasn’t anyone else who cared about her other than her mother.

As she thought of this, she lifted her head in desolation, staring straight ahead. Would she be convicted?

If she were to be convicted, what would happen to her mother? Would Gu Deshou take care of her?

Also... would Si Zhengting be saddened? Would he miss her?

Probably not. After all, she had brought up the idea of divorce, and, given his pride, why would he come to her aid now?

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard footsteps approaching the door. She lifted her head once more as the door creaked open.

Ji Chen appeared. Seeing the familiar figure of Ji Chen made Zhuang Nainai want to cry. Her heart throbbed, an inexplicable emotion rising up in her.

“Zhuang Nainai, you can leave now.” The cold voice of the police officer made her gather herself. She nodded her head and stood up to follow Ji Chen outside.

As they got out of the police station, Ji Chen said, “Madam, allow me to send you home.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded.

They got into the car, and she remained silent, seemingly considering something. Ji Chen looked at her, and, after considering for a few moments whether to speak, he finally broke the silence. “Madam, why bother... the people from the Gu family...”

The Gus are not people at all!

Zhuang Nainai thought this as she lowered her head. Ji Chen disbelieved her, right? Did that mean that Si Zhengting disbelieved her too?

So, she could only count on herself now. Was that it?

Zhuang Nainai shook her head, trying to clear the despondent thoughts from her head.

Her gaze grew resolute as she decided she wasn’t going to let herself go to jail. What would her mother do without her?

Now, it was imperative that she pull herself together in order to finish her design drafts and prove her innocence!

Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and flung all the negative thoughts to the back of her head. She began thinking of the designs she was going to draw — three men’s clothing and three women’s clothing? What was she going to design?

She was so engrossed in her thoughts, she had no idea that they had reached the Si residence until Ji Chen told her that they had arrived.

Zhuang Nainai was stunned.

Even though she had once spent only a month in this villa, there was still a sense of familiarity as she recognized the villa from a distance.

Perhaps because of the absence of her mother from her life, this place held her only memories of warmth.

But today, his words had still hurt her.

Abscond?

Zhuang Nainai’s heart ached a little. She lowered her head and said, “Executive Assistant Ji, please send me to Xibali village. Thank you.”
