The guy who just came out was old and handsome, but he's no good. And the guy before him was looking for a partner for Nanzhi.

Each of these words deeply saddened Shen Xingmian.

"Shen Xingmian, it's enough that I like you."

Seeing that Shen Xingmian didn't speak, Nan Zhi hurriedly moved closer.

She tugged at the man's sleeve, and the clear voice brought Shen Xingmian back to her senses.

He looked at Nanzhi without saying a word, but his expression remained unpleasant.

Nanzhi shook his arm, grinning:

"Shen Xingmian, don't be angry."

Shen Xingmian looked down at the girl beside her, then spoke with a hint of displeasure.

"I'm old, handsome, and not a good person."

Nanzhi: "..."

"How could that be? You're not that old, you're just right for me. You're handsome, but you're exactly my type. You're a gem, someone I want to have all to myself. Don't you think so?"

Hearing the girl's praise, Shen Xingmian's eyes softened.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile, but then, as if remembering something, his face fell again.

“If I’m not good enough, your parents will find you a suitable partner.”

Nan Zhi: "......" Can't you just forget about this?

She quickly pledged her loyalty, saying, "The person my parents choose isn't someone I like. Unless they choose you, I will never give in."

That was a beautifully said statement, and MeowMeowMachine couldn't help but applaud her.

"Miss, you're really something, that's impressive."

Nanzhi rolled her eyes. She could also be gentle with people.

After being praised by Nan Zhi, Shen Xingmian's anger subsided.

I feel much better now.

But this matter can't be dragged on like this forever. "So you're planning to keep me hiding and running away?"

The man's tone was somewhat annoyed, and Nanzhi understood what he meant.

"How could that be? I'll take you home for Chinese New Year this year and explain everything to my parents, okay?"

Shen Xingmian pursed her lips, raised an eyebrow, and then glanced at her indifferently.

He said, "Whatever you say."

Nanzhi: "..."

Nanzhi realized that this man was sometimes saying one thing but meaning another.

After receiving Nan Zhi's assurance, Shen Xingmian felt much lighter.

He called the housekeeper and told her he didn't need to come over in the afternoon.

Then she went to the kitchen to get busy.

Nanzhi could clearly sense the change in the other person's emotions.

She felt quite helpless.

I've been in the US for two months now.

Nanzhi calculated that she could go back in a little over a month.

By the time I got back, it was already Chinese New Year.

It seems I need to think carefully about how to talk to my parents about this.

However, it's too early to say now; let's wait and see.

......

A few days later, Nanzhi was sent to the shopping mall by Master Qianmu to conduct an investigation.

I'll come back and write a paper.

Nanzhi drove to the city center, and as soon as she got out of the car, she was surrounded by several people.

The person in charge was an old man.

Nanzhi looked at the other person and frowned.

She recognized the old man; he was the Xu family's butler.

He glanced again at the men in black who had surrounded him.

Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "What does this mean?"

Butler Li stared at Nanzhi with a chilling gaze:

"You're the one who crippled my son, aren't you?"

Nan Zhi's lips curled into a slight mockery:

"I don't recall ever crippling anyone. Are you mistaken, old man?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Li was not angry at all; instead, he smiled, though his expression was ruthless.

"Young lady, didn't your family teach you not to offend people so easily?"

Nan Zhi smiled and said, "I haven't offended anyone. You say I crippled your son, where's the evidence?"

Butler Li: "..." The evidence was destroyed long ago.

But none of that matters.

Once this woman is caught, the young lady will deal with her.

With the Xu family backing him up, that man probably wouldn't make things difficult for them.

She's just a woman, after all.

"Whether you admit it or not, your friend has been hurt because of you, so you'd better come with us today."

Nanzhi was taken aback. "I have no friends."

Butler Li sneered, "Do you know Xu Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing what Butler Li said, Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

That idiot got arrested?

Sigh, should we save them or not?

After thinking for two seconds, Nam Gyi made her decision.

Fighting these people here versus fighting these people at the destination.

It seems there's no difference.

"You're despicable."

Nanzhi feigned anger.

Butler Li sneered, "How can you take revenge without being despicable? Let's go."

After saying that, he told the man in black to open the car door.

They wanted to push Nam Gyi into the area.

Nan Zhi glared coldly at the man in black, then quickly sat down inside.

This is a long, black car.

It can accommodate more than a dozen people.

Butler Li saw that Nanzhi was behaving herself, so he did not take any other measures.

Today, his son can witness firsthand the suffering of the woman who wronged him, a life worse than death.

Thinking of this, Butler Li became very excited.

After an hour's drive, the car arrived at a small estate.

The car drove into the yard.

Nanzhi stepped down on her own initiative.

Butler Li led her into the house.

The group of men in black were still following behind.

However, in the end, they just stood at the door and did not come in.

As soon as Nanzhi entered the house, she saw Moyu sitting on the sofa.

And there's Li Wei standing to the side.
