Chapter 153 Nan Zhi, Let Me Love You Properly

Tonight, Xie Nanzhi dressed modestly in a black silk dress.

Paired with Chanel's latest tassel pendant, the champagne-colored earrings accentuated the slender, snow-white swan neck.

She was socializing with people while holding a wine glass, and after about half an hour, the people she was chatting with gradually dispersed.

Now that no one was around, Elder Dong asked, "Nanzhi, how have you considered what I told you before?"

Xie Nanzhi had been considering this matter during this time. It sounded like a sure-fire way to make money with little risk, but the more it seemed so, the more uncertain Xie Nanzhi felt.

Xie Nanzhi told Mr. Dong about her decision, "Mr. Dong, I still believe there is no such thing as a free lunch, so I'm sorry."

Mr. Dong regretted it and wanted to continue persuading Xie Nanzhi.

Just then, a man a few meters away walked gracefully forward.

He held a glass of champagne, his white suit echoing Xie Nanzhi's all-black dress.

Seeing this, Mr. Dong quickly said, "Nanzhi, this is the cargo ship owner I told you about. Let me introduce you."

A freight company owner?

Wang Jing?

Xie Nanzhi's surprise was clearly visible. She interrupted Mr. Dong directly, "Mr. Dong, you don't need to introduce me. I know Mr. Wang."

Old Dong stared in astonishment, "You two know each other?"

Wang Jing said politely, "Miss Nan, I didn't expect to meet you again."

If it's a coincidence once, then it's really hard to believe that it happened two or three times.

Xie Nanzhi recalled what Wei Chizheng had told her before: she knew nothing about Wang Jing's background.

Facing Wang Jing this time, Xie Nanzhi clearly showed a degree of wariness, saying, "Mr. Wang, let's forget about the cooperation. I have no interest in investing in cargo ships."

Mr. Dong was dumbfounded.

These two know each other, so theoretically it should be easier for them to discuss cooperation. How did it fall apart?

Wang Jing asked calmly, "Miss Nan, would it be convenient for us to talk privately?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Dong said, "You two chat, I saw an old friend, I'll go over there first."

After Mr. Dong left, Xie Nanzhi went to the rest area on one side.

She sat down gracefully and cut to the chase, "Mr. Wang, what is your purpose in approaching me?"

Wang Jing wasn't surprised by her bluntness. He placed his wine glass on the round table in front of him and asked, "Miss Nan, what do you think is the purpose of a man approaching a woman?"

Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips, her eyes growing colder. "It can't be for my eyeballs."

Wang Jing's expression changed, but it was only fleeting.

He feigned nonchalance, saying, "Miss Nan, you really know how to joke."

Xie Nanzhi spread her hands, a half-smile on her face. "Mr. Wang thinks I'm joking, but in fact, this really happened. My ex-husband only approached me because of my eyes. He removed my corneas and gave them to his sweetheart."

Wang Jing remained expressionless, but a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. "Your ex-husband truly deserves to die."

Xie Nanzhi joked, "Yes, he deserved to die, so I sent him to paradise."

Xie Nanzhi stared intently at Wang Jing, not missing a single expression. However, Wang Jing appeared too composed, revealing no clue whatsoever.

After a long pause, Wang Jing said, "I don't know about others, but I just want to pursue you. Nanzhi, you may not believe it, but I truly fell in love with you at first sight."

"Love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight, Mr. Wang. I don't think it's a sacred term. Besides, let me be very frank with you, I don't like you and I have absolutely no interest in you. So, whatever your purpose is, don't waste your time on me."

Xie Nanzhi's refusal was swift and decisive, while Wang Jing, sitting opposite her, smirked, "Nanzhi, do you think I'll give up just because you say that?"

"what ever."

Xie Nanzhi didn't want to waste any more time on Wang Jing, so she got up, lifted her skirt, and walked past him.

Just then, she overheard several ladies chatting.

Upon hearing her own name, she stopped in her tracks out of curiosity.

"What's there for her to be proud of? I heard that she was married before, but her husband cheated on her with another woman and ran away. Later, her husband also died."

"That's right, it's her. The fake heiress of the Xie family, there are many rumors about her in the circle. And she used to be blind, it seems that this is also related to her husband."

"Do you think she's some kind of good person? Her ex-husband was Pei Jingchuan from the former Zhengrong Group. Pei Jingchuan ended up like this because of her."

"I never would have guessed she was such a vicious woman. What man would be so desperate as to want a woman like that?"

If a group of people are all housewives who rely on their husbands for a living, and suddenly someone appears who is on equal footing with their husbands, they will treat that person as an outsider.

At this moment, Xie Nanzhi was a thorn in the side of these ladies.

Xie Nanzhi chuckled softly, her laughter startling the ladies.

The ladies then noticed Xie Nanzhi's presence and gave an awkward smile.

Hsieh Nan-chih, however, did not fly into a rage. She calmly said, "I hope that in the future, all of you ladies will also encounter situations where your husbands cheat on you, the mistress asserts her dominance, and you are betrayed and blinded by your husbands. When that happens, all of you ladies must be kind-hearted and repay evil with good."

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

"Yes, is that how you talk?"

"How can you be like this? You can't even take a joke."

Xie Nanzhi laughed, "I was just joking, why are you ladies so upset?"

After saying that, Xie Nanzhi turned and left.

The ladies stared at her retreating figure, stunned for a while. Just then, Wang Jing walked over.

Wang Jing gave them a deep look.

But his eyes were sinister and chillingly cold.

The ladies felt a chill run down their spines from being stared at, and they walked away together, looking rather sullen.

Wang Jing chased after him to the parking lot.

Tonight, Xie Nanzhi drove a black Bentley. When she bought the car, Xibei thought it was too business-like and not suitable for a girl to drive.

Xie Nanzhi just liked the Bentley's solid, reliable, and stable feel, as if it could give her the sense of security she wanted.

She leaned against the car door, letting the cold wind blow on her, and casually pulled off the wooden hairpin that held her hair up.

Pei Jingchuan, the person she truly loved, and also the one who hurt her the most. This was the first time she had heard anyone mention him since his death.

She will gradually forget the past, but those hurts are etched in her heart, and she will never be able to let go of them.

She reminisced about the past, feeling a deep sense of loss.

Not far away, a man stood with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Under the streetlights, his delicate face flickered in and out of light, obscuring his true expression.

But he could clearly see the expression on Xie Nanzhi's face, which seemed to be a remembrance of her past self, or even a tribute to the past.

His gaze narrowed to a single line; his eyes held only her.

After a while, Xie Nanzhi composed herself, opened the car door to get in, but suddenly, the man slammed the door shut.

She looked sharply at the culprit, only to be suddenly embraced.

"Nanzhi, give me a chance to love you properly."
