Chapter 123 was hidden here by this bitch.

These words came so suddenly that Lu Zeyu was caught off guard.

His expression froze for a second, then he smiled easily. "Nanzhi, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"

Xie Nanzhi had no other feelings for him and naturally didn't want to waste Lu Zeyu's time.

Moreover, she had clearly stated her position before, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Xie Nanzhi remained calm and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, this is the truth."

She didn't believe that someone like Lu Zeyu, with his qualifications, would be willing to marry a divorced woman with a child.

That's human nature; people tend to seek advantage and avoid harm, so Xie Nanzhi felt it was understandable.

Lu Zeyu's gaze was deep, appearing even more profound under the rich moonlight. He fixed his gaze on her and took a step closer.

"To accept someone is to accept their past. Do you really think I'm such a shallow person?"

"Besides, I have a past, and I've had girlfriends before. Does that mean that's a stain on my record?"

"Nanzhi, I really like you and want to walk with you for the rest of my life. I'm afraid that if I miss you, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Xie Nanzhi could feel his deep affection and sincerity, but...

Xie Nanzhi frowned, because another face flashed through her mind.

Xie Nanzhi was somewhat anxious. "Mr. Lu, marriage is not just a matter between two people, but between two families. Putting aside whether your parents can accept me, more importantly, I don't have any feelings for you beyond friendship. So I'm sorry, you don't want to regret it for the rest of your life, and I don't want to wrong myself for the rest of my life."

Her words were somewhat harsh, even selfish. However, Xie Nanzhi understood the principle that hesitation leads to trouble.

A hurt expression flashed in Lu Zeyu's eyes, and he forced a smile. "Nanzhi, do you remember what I told you last time?"

Xie Nanzhi remembered that he had said that it was her right to reject him, but it was also his right to pursue her.

After a pause, Lu Zeyu continued, "Nanzhi, I don't know how much your previous marriage hurt you, but I still want to try. It's okay if you don't have feelings for me now. I've always believed that love needs to be cultivated. Maybe one day in the future you'll develop feelings for me?"

She had already made herself so clear, but Lu Zeyu still insisted, and Xie Nanzhi didn't know what to do.

Xie Nanzhi returned home and lay lazily on the bed.

Bored, she picked up her phone and discovered that Xibei had created a new group and added her to it.

Xi Bei and Zhou Mubin were having a heated discussion about Lu Zeyu.

Zhou Mubin even conducted a thorough investigation into the family, finding out everything about the grandmother's generation.

Regardless of her attitude as the protagonist, the two of them were particularly satisfied with this "marriage," and Xie Nanzhi was speechless.

After going through all the chat history, Xie Nanzhi replied, "No matter how good he is, he's not the one I like."

Zhou Mubin complained, "Nanzhi, isn't Lu Zeyu much better than Chen Zha Nan and Pei Gou? You can even fancy those two, so why can't you give him a chance?"

Her relationship with Shen Xu was arranged by both families, and her marriage to Pei Jingchuan was out of necessity.

In truth, Xie Nanzhi has always been passive in matters of the heart, never truly making a choice. Rather than saying she loved them, it's more accurate to say it was a natural outcome.

Xie Nanzhi joked, "Old Zhou, since you don't have a girlfriend anyway, why don't you go to Thailand for a trip and try your luck?"

Zhou Mubin, "Strive for what?"

Xie Nanzhi: "Lu Zeyu, of course."

Zhou Mubin's face turned pale with anger. "You're going to make me so angry. I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore. I'm logging off."

Xibei gave her a few more brainwashing words, and soon the group finally quieted down.

Xie Nanzhi turned over and lay face down on the pillow. She thought about many things, including Shen Xu, Pei Jingchuan, and finally Wei Chizheng.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so why would they suddenly think of that man?

Xie Nanzhi was upset and confused, and she herself found this feeling inexplicable.

Sunday was a beautiful, sunny day.

Xie Nanzhi went to the best sanatorium in the port city.

Since Xie Wanli went to prison and the Xie family went bankrupt, Xie Nanzhi has been responsible for all of Old Madam Xie's living expenses.

She has difficulty walking and relies on medication to maintain her health for many years, which costs a considerable amount every day.

Xie Nanzhi bought fruit and her favorite flowers and went to the sanatorium. She walked past a pure white building and saw the old lady Xie sitting in a wheelchair taking a stroll.

The nurse who was taking care of her carefully massaged her legs, and the two seemed to be talking about something that made her particularly happy.

Xie Nanzhi watched from afar, then waved and greeted, "Grandmother."

Grandma Xie spotted Xie Nanzhi at a glance, her eyes shining. "Nanzhi, my little Nanzhi has arrived."

Xie Nanzhi quickened her pace and walked over. Old Mrs. Xie eagerly grabbed her hand, "Nanzhi, what brings you here? Your mother just came to see me a few days ago."

During her time in Gangcheng, Xie Nanzhi asked Wang Shufen to come and check on her grandmother from time to time.

Surprisingly, Grandmother and Wang Shufen got along very well. Compared to Luo Meijuan, Grandmother clearly preferred Wang Shufen.

Xie Nanzhi placed the flowers in her arms. "What? Does Grandmother dislike me?"

Grandma Xie laughed heartily, "You are my most precious granddaughter. I would never dislike you, no matter who else I dislike."

Xie Nanzhi said coquettishly, "That's more like it."

Then the nurse laughed, "Before you came, Aunt Xie kept talking to me about you. She said you were the most promising child, outstanding since you were little. Aunt Xie's eyes lit up when she talked about you."

Of the three Xie children, her grandmother truly loved her the most. Even Xie Xiyan, who was found at the age of eighteen, couldn't compare.

Her grandmother's love for her was a deep and heartfelt affection, and even after she knew that she was the fake heiress who had been switched, that affection never diminished.

Xie Nanzhi pushed the wheelchair with a bright smile, "Alright, I'll push Grandma around for a bit, you can rest for a while."

The nurse said, "Okay, please feel free to ask me if you need anything."

Xie Nanzhi nodded and slowly pushed the wheelchair forward.

Under the lush green lawn and warm sunshine, Xie Nanzhi came to a small river and sat on a bench. "Grandma, are you getting used to life here?"

Grandma Xie smiled and said, "I'm used to it. It's better than my previous life. Nanzhi, thank you."

Luo Meijuan was not kind to Old Mrs. Xie. Because Old Mrs. Xie had difficulty walking, Luo Meijuan found it troublesome and rarely took her out for a walk.

Now, with professional nurses taking care of her, her daily life is well-organized, and Grandma Xie is very satisfied with her current life.

"You'll get used to it."

Suddenly, a sharp voice pierced my eardrums, "You were actually hidden here by this bitch, and I've finally found you."
