Faced with Nan Zhi's harsh words, Xu Chaoci pursed his lips, and finally left without saying anything.

He left the card with Nanzhi, who caught up with him and stuffed the card back into his hand.

"You keep it; it'll put my mind at ease."

Xu Chaoci didn't quite understand what she meant, but when he wanted to turn back and ask again, Nanzhi had already closed the door.

He looked down and glanced at the card that Nan Zhi had forcibly stuffed into his hand.

Suddenly, his gaze paused, then shifted to the lower right corner of the bank card, where there was a very small pattern that Xu Chaoci hadn't noticed before in the dim light inside the room.

At this moment, as he explored the pattern, a cold glint appeared in Xu Chaoci's eyes.

In the evening, Shen Xingmian returned home, and Nan Zhi, in a good mood, went up to help him hang up his clothes, humming a little tune as she did so.

Seeing her acting strangely, Shen Xingmian asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Nanzhi glanced at him, her smile widening, then she narrowed her eyes and spoke:

"I'm in a good mood. Today I gave that ten million to the Xu family again. Haha, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Shen Xingmian's eyes softened as he looked at Nan Zhi, a hint of helplessness appearing on his handsome, angular face.

"Given it to Xu Qingzhou?"

Nan Zhi shook her head, "Brother Xu Qingzhou, Xu Chaoci."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Xu Chaoci is not as simple as Xu Qingzhou. He is unfathomable and has outstanding abilities. If Nanzhi insults him with money this time, won't she offend the Xu family?

Despite thinking this to herself, Shen Xingmian did not tell Nanzhi.

Never mind, I'll just keep an eye on the Xu family's movements from now on. Xu Chaoci isn't the type to hold grudges.

"Now you should be calmer, right?"

He placed the girl's hand in his palm. Her small, fair hand was incredibly soft; it seemed as if it could break with the slightest squeeze. Shen Xingmian's lips curled slightly. It was truly perplexing that such a small hand could possess such great strength.

Nanzhi snorted:

"I will be content as long as the Xu family stops coming after me."

......

Nighttime, Xu Family Manor.

It wasn't the weekend, so Xu Chaoci and Xu Mo got home earlier than usual.

Since Mo Yu and Butler Li left, they have been coming back more frequently.

A new butler was promoted at the manor, and most of the household affairs fell to Xu Mo's shoulders.

Mo Wenhui was no longer willing to get involved. After that incident, Xu Mo became much more attentive to his family.

Xu Chaoci went straight home from Nanzhi, while Xu Mo returned a little later.

Xu Qingzhou is still living in her apartment.

Knowing that his son had visited Nanzhi today, Xu Mo asked him about the situation as soon as he returned home.

After Xu Chaoci finished speaking, Xu Mo looked somewhat dejected. His sister's daughter was so hostile to the Xu family.

"Dad, I think there must be another reason for this."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo paused, put down the photo in his hand, and asked:

"How so?"

Xu Chaoci handed the bank card to Xu Mo, who took it with a puzzled look. After examining it for a while, Xu Mo asked, still puzzled:

Why are you giving me our family's card?

Xu Chaoci shook his head, "This was given to me by Nanzhi. She said she hoped that our Xu family would not come looking for her again after using this ten million."

Xu Mo frowned even more deeply. "How come she has a card exclusive to our family?"

The symbol on the card is exclusive to the Xu family; only the four members of the family have it.

Even Mo Yu didn't receive it, unless Mo Wenhui gave it to her separately.

"I don't know either. She seems to have some misunderstanding about our family."

Xu Mo stared at the card for a long time before speaking:

"Check if this card belongs to Qingzhou. If not, it might belong to your mother."

Xu Chaoci didn't need to investigate; he actually knew whose card it was. He frowned.

"I arranged this one for Qingzhou, it's not that I didn't have this one, so it should be my mother's."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo tightened his grip on the card, and his expression darkened. Mo Wenhui had actually gone to see Nan Zhi alone?

So he began:

"Go and call your mother upstairs."

When Xu Chaoci brought her up, Mo Wenhui was somewhat unwilling.

She felt that her husband didn't care about her at all, and didn't even take the initiative to go down and find her.

"What do you want?"

Mo Wenhui's tone was displeased, and her expression was extremely impatient.

Looking at the still beautiful woman in front of him, Xu Mo suddenly felt exhausted. The Mo Wenhui of the past had changed at some point.

She is no longer gentle and considerate, nor does she care for her husband or son. Instead, she has slowly transformed into the self-important and pretentious woman she is today.

Making trouble out of nothing and fabricating stories are her usual behaviors.

Xu Mo pressed his temples, glanced at Mo Wenhui, and held up the card. "Do you recognize this?"

The moment Mo Wenhui saw the bank card, her heart skipped a beat. Her pupils contracted, and she immediately denied it:

"I don't know him, he's not mine."

Xu Mo curled his lips into a sarcastic smile. "Wen Hui, I didn't ask if you were yours. I just asked if you knew her."

As he spoke, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. "Clearly, you're feeling guilty."

Mo Wenhui, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glared angrily at Xu Mo, her words full of accusation:

"You don't believe me?"

Xu Mo laughed: "How can I believe you like this?"

Mo Wenhui didn't think she was wrong at all, so she stiffened her neck, looked at Xu Mo, and said confidently:

“That’s right, it was given to Nanzhi by me. What? Didn’t you kick my Yu’er out because of her? As long as I’m in the Xu family, you can forget about bringing her back.”

Hearing her words, Xu Mo was somewhat shocked:

"Do you know who she is?"

Mo Wenhui sneered and took a few steps toward Xu Mo with elegant strides. She looked at him across the desk, her eyes filled with smugness.

"You think you can keep this from me? Let me tell you, Xu Mo, you can kick my niece out, and don't even think about bringing your niece back. Unless you allow Yu'er to become our daughter and give her the Xu surname, I will never agree to let Nanzhi return to this family."

Even at this point, Mo Wenhui was still thinking about Mo Yu.

Xu Mo had no idea what kind of spell Mo Yu had cast on her to make her care and love him so much, even to the point of openly arguing with him.

"Impossible. Mo Yu is wicked. I will never allow her to return to the Xu family."

Xu Mo was filled with rage whenever he thought about how Mo Yu had almost ruined Nan Zhi.

How could we possibly let her come back, and even give her the surname Xu?

Upon hearing this, Mo Wenhui wasn't angry; instead, she gave a cold laugh.

"Alright, let's just keep this up. Nan Zhi can't get here, or I'll do everything in my power to suppress her."

I never expected that Nan Zhi would be so cunning. After taking the money, she actually went to find Xu Mo, hoping to enter the Xu family. Mo Wenhui would never allow it unless Mo Yu was made a real member of the Xu family. In that case, it wouldn't matter whether Nan Zhi came or not. After all, she's just a cousin and can't cause any trouble.
