Chapter 14 Why humiliate her like this?

Upon hearing this, Xie Nanzhi's body stiffened abruptly.

She then heard footsteps approaching from behind, and her instinctive reaction was to move away. In her panic, she didn't even have time to figure out which way to go.

Immediately afterwards, her body was pulled back by a tremendous force.

A speeding car brushed past the hem of her dress. Instantly, Xie Nanzhi's mind went blank, and her pale face was covered in a layer of cold sweat. Even now, she was still in shock.

"Xie Nanzhi, are you crazy? You're just asking for death by charging around like this."

The speaker was none other than Xie Nanzhi's first love and former fiancé, Shen Xu.

Without a second thought, Xie Nanzhi broke free from his grasp.

It had been three years, and this was the first time Shen Xu had spoken to her on his own initiative. Even though Shen Xu would occasionally attend the Xie family banquets, the two had never had any interaction.

Facing her former lover, Xie Nanzhi could not say that she still had feelings for him, but she also could not completely treat him as a stranger. Maintaining distance was the best approach.

Xie Nanzhi took a half step back, her attitude both distant and polite, "Thank you, President Shen."

After saying that, Xie Nanzhi looked for a safe place to continue waiting for the car.

But Shen Xu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving; he stood beside her with one hand in his pocket. Xie Nanzhi didn't know what his expression was, let alone what he meant.

Suddenly, Shen Xu scoffed.

"Xie Nanzhi, I thought you were doing so well, but it turns out you're nothing special."

"Do you know that your husband abandoned you, not caring whether you live or die, to go see Xie Xiyan?"

"Didn't you ever wonder why Pei Jingchuan would stand up and marry a blind woman like you back then?"

Every word seemed to drag Xie Nanzhi into an ice cave, her whole body being corroded by the biting cold.

It turns out that even Shen Xu could see that Pei Jingchuan's marriage to her was motivated by ulterior motives. Does this mean that everyone else knows the truth, but she is the only one who is kept in the dark like a fool?

No wonder the Xie family dared to bully her so brazenly in front of Pei Jingchuan. When Shen Xu learned that she was going to marry Pei Jingchuan, he said she was the stupidest woman in the world.

Everything was traceable; she was just too naive.

Shen Xu mocked her mercilessly, yet he couldn't help but admit that Xie Nanzhi possessed a kind of broken beauty. Three years had made her even more charming, which inevitably stirred up other emotions within him.

If she were a flower.

He wanted to pick her.

Just as Shen Xu was about to say something, Xie Nanzhi suddenly turned to him and said, "Instead of spending time making sarcastic remarks about me, Mr. Shen, you should worry about yourself. Why don't you spend your wife's birthday with your husband, but instead spend it with other men?"

Shen Xu's face turned ashen from being choked, and his tone changed, "Xie Nanzhi, I'm just trying to remind you, don't be ungrateful."

With her long hair cascading down, a gentle breeze ruffling the strands at her temples, Xie Nanzhi mimicked Shen Xu's earlier tone, "President Shen, if I have a hat on my head, then you'll have one on yours too, don't you think?"

Shen Xu was so angry that he lost his composure and glared at Xie Nanzhi. "Xie Nanzhi, it's been three years and you're still so vicious. No wonder everyone dislikes you, even your own husband despises you. You deserve it."

It's ridiculous that he even had other thoughts just now.

I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business. Let her die instead of meddling in other people's business.

When his authority as a man was challenged by the woman he looked down upon, Shen Xu was furious and inadvertently aimed at the white cane in her hand.

Shen Xu smiled sinisterly, snatched Xie Nanzhi's cane without warning, and casually threw it into the green belt beside her.

Xie Nanzhi panicked when her hands were suddenly empty.

In an unfamiliar environment, her white cane was her eyes, especially after almost being in a car accident, which made her already uneasy heart even more anxious.

"Give it to me, Shen Xu, give me back my white cane."

Shen Xu felt better and sneered condescendingly, "If you're so capable, go find it yourself. You blind bastard, how dare you humiliate me? Who gave you the guts?"

Xie Nanzhi's already pent-up feelings completely crumbled because of Shen Xu's actions. Her heart was filled with resentment, and her nose stung terribly.

She didn't understand why these people were bullying her, why they were humiliating her like this, and what she had done wrong.

She was so upset she was going crazy.

Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi lunged at Shen Xu, grabbing his collar tightly and screaming, "Just because I'm the nanny's daughter, does that mean I deserve to be bullied by you? Just because my birth mother did something wrong, does that mean my existence is wrong? Just because I don't fight for anything, does that become your excuse to trample on me? Shen Xu, I'm a person, a living, breathing person. I have feelings, I feel sadness too. I don't ask you to be kind to me, but at least... don't bother me. That's all I ask for, can't you even grant me that?"

Shen Xu was completely bewildered by Xie Nanzhi's crazy actions and it took him a while to come to his senses. "You, you, you, let go of me, I'll pick it up for you, okay?"

Hearing this, Xie Nanzhi calmed down.

Shen Xu kept his word, picked up the white cane from the green belt and threw it to her, frowning, "I'm really impressed with you."

After saying that, Shen Xu turned and got into the car.

However, Shen Xu did not rush to leave after getting into the car. He sat in the car and watched Xie Nanzhi pick up her white cane until he got into a taxi.

He didn't know why he had inexplicably followed along the way.

Only after watching Xie Nanzhi enter the club did Shen Xu realize what he was doing.

His handsome face was furrowed, and Shen Xu's fist rested on the steering wheel. Then, he subconsciously looked in the direction Xie Nanzhi had left.

Pei Jingchuan left her alone on her birthday, yet she still went to the appointment without crying or making a fuss.

Shen Xu suddenly remembered when they were dating. Once, they had made plans to go to the movies, but he got drunk with his friends and forgot about it. As a result, Xie Nanzhi waited for him foolishly all night. The next day, she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even have the heart to say a word of reproach.

In this respect, Xie Xiyan is not as good as Xie Nanzhi.

Shen Xu's face was grim. What was wrong with him?

He's actually reminiscing about how good she was to him; he must be crazy.

Shen Xu withdrew his gaze and immediately drove away.

In a darker corner, a black car followed Shen Xu and stopped there.

The man in the car was dark and unfathomable, his gaze fixed on the direction Xie Nanzhi had left. The driver then cautiously said, "Second Master, Miss Xie has cancelled her identity information and bought a plane ticket to leave Hong Kong tonight."

The man's expression was unpredictable, but a cold glint flashed in his sharp eyes.

Is tonight your final farewell?

If so, then he's actually looking forward to their next meeting.

Xie Nanzhi went upstairs, and the waiter escorted her to the door of the private room before leaving.

Xie Nanzhi stood at the door without rushing in; her earlier agitation had subsided on the way there.

Xie Xiyan, do you really want to become Mosier's last disciple?

Unfortunately, you won't get your wish this time, even if Pei Jingchuan paves the way for you.

Xie Nanzhi took out her phone and dialed a number.

On the other side, the restaurant.

The huge rotating table was filled with high-end dishes, and there were people serving the guests.

Xie Xiyan was confident of victory, after all, Mosier's attitude was very clear: he thought highly of her, and this last disciple position was undoubtedly hers.

Xie Xiyan's smile didn't fade until Mosier finished the call.

Then, Mosier slowly stood up. "Miss Xie, my good disciple won't let me eat anymore, so our game ends here."
