Zhuang Nainai glanced toward the balcony. Seeing that Si Zhengting was not going to come in any time soon, she decided to pick up the call for him.

A call on New Year’s Eve was probably a call to wish him a happy new year, right?

Zhuang Nainai picked up the phone, but before she could say anything, the person on the other end of the line burst out, “Sir, have you seen the news on the web? As expected, Mi Nuo’s made her move! But this issue that she had with Madam happened a few years ago, so how are we going to retaliate?”

 Zhuang Nainai was stunned. Narrowing her eyes, she asked sharply, “What’s up?”

 Ji Chen was dumbstruck once he heard her voice. “Ma… Madam?! Where is Sir?”

 Casting a glance at the two people on the balcony, she told Ji Chen straight away, “Just tell me, what’s up?”

 “This…”

 “If you won’t tell me, I’ll look it up on the web by myself.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen realized they were exposed and that there was no point hiding from Zhuang Nainai any longer. He replied, “Mr. Si’s been keeping an eye on Mi Nuo ever since she left the Imperial Group. She’s been alright, but just today… she posted something about you having a history of plagiarism even before plagiarizing her work from the Starlight Design Competition! It was Sir who hushed it for you the last time around. The post insulted you very badly.”

Zhuang Nainai suddenly understood after hearing this.

So, it was because Ding Mengya had seen the post that Ding Mengya borrowed the phone from her? Was it to make sure that she wouldn’t feel unhappy over the new year?

All of a sudden, warmth flowed through her as she realized how caring and meticulous Ding Mengya was.

As she looked at the two people who were still speaking in low voices on the balcony, she thought about the people in the Si family…

Si Zhengting and Si Jingyu were taught by example, and they were such excellent people. Then, the person who groomed them… shouldn’t be a vicious person by any means.

Zhuang Nainai suddenly started to believe that maybe, just maybe, it was a case of mistaken identity five years ago.

There were some impressions that took their own form when buried in one’s heart for too long.

For example, she had seen only a blurry figure in the security footage all those years ago, but she had simply determined it to be Ding Mengya. It had then seemed that she had in fact seen Ding Mengya.

But now that she was starting to suspect herself, she felt… perhaps the person in her memory wasn’t actually Ding Mengya?

Just as Zhuang Nainai was furrowing her brows, deep in thought, she heard Ji Chen’s voice. “But it doesn’t matter that she’s trying to cook up something, because everyone’s focusing on celebrating the new year, and nobody has time to follow news like this! I guess she chose this time to kick up a fuss simply because she wanted to ruin your new year.”

Zhuang Nainai gave a cold grunt as she heard this.

 Ji Chen didn’t expect such a calm response from Zhuang Nainai. Slightly stunned, he continued, “Madam, when Sir talked about this, he got me to investigate the things that happened all those years ago. But it’s been so long, and the second thing is, when I found the judges for the competition, they said that Mi Nuo had handed up her design drafts before you did. Also, she apparently had her back-up copy, so they judged that you were the one who plagiarized her. As for your back-up copy…”

Zhuang Nainai replied, “I lost my back-up copy.”

Ji Chen sighed. “Yes, that’s the issue, so I’m now wondering how I should prove your innocence. If nothing else works, I think I’ll just get someone to defame the account.”

 “No need.” Zhuang Nainai curled her lips. “Let her make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better.”

 “Huh?” Ji Chen was confused.

 A sharp glint crossed Zhuang Nainai’s eyes. “I have my ways of dealing with her.”
