Chapter 217 Wei Chi is Jealous

Seeing Xie Nanzhi's sudden change in expression, Mu Jiaojiao stroked her lower abdomen and said, "Xie Nanzhi, aren't you going to congratulate me? Soon your child will have a younger brother or sister."

Even though Xie Nanzhi had developed the ability to keep her emotions in check over the years, she still couldn't control her feelings in this matter.

Xie Nanzhi met Mu Jiaojiao's provocation head-on, taking a step forward. "Can you please change your habit of randomly claiming relatives? My child has nothing to do with the one in your belly."

Xie Nanzhi felt pain as her fingertips dug into her palm, and her mind cleared up considerably.

She didn't want to get entangled with Mu Jiaojiao here, acting like a resentful woman. Xie Nanzhi strode forward, while Mu Jiaojiao relentlessly followed behind.

"Xie Nanzhi, now that I'm carrying his child, it means we're bound together for life."

“Even if he remembers everything someday, he will not ignore the child, who is his.”

"Even if you get him back, so what? You'll become a stepmother, you'll have to raise my children, and that will be a thorn in your side for the rest of your life."

"Xie Nanzhi, you think you've won, but in reality, you're the one who lost the most."

Xie Nanzhi paused slightly as she turned and gave Mu Jiaojiao a deep look.

Her smugness, provocation, and sarcasm were ultimately the source of her confidence, given to her by Wei Chizheng.

After a long while, Xie Nanzhi simply chuckled softly, then turned and left without saying a word.

Walking along the corridor between the inpatient and outpatient buildings, Xie Nanzhi stood by the window. Despite the hurried pedestrians around her and the loud chirping of cicadas outside, she felt eerily quiet. The entire building was so quiet that she could hear the soft sound of peeling paint on the walls.

Before leaving, Xie Nanzhi, perhaps unwilling to give up, went to the gynecology clinic herself and, through connections, obtained Mu Jiaojiao's medical records.

She is indeed pregnant.

Looking out the window, the sunlight was suddenly obscured by drifting clouds, and the light in the corridor suddenly dimmed, just like Xie Nanzhi's mood at that moment.

She didn't blame Wei Chizheng, but she couldn't accept that he had a child with someone else.

Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and left in a hurry.

A few days later, Nianzheng was discharged from the hospital. The doctor advised her to go home and recuperate, and to minimize her contact with the outside world before the age of five.

Therefore, even for the only two early education classes per week, Xie Nanzhi would invite the early education teacher to come to her home to teach her child.

She didn't want her children to be so tired, nor did she want to burden them.

Xie Nanzhi's greatest wish for them is that they stay safe and healthy.

The day after we were discharged from the hospital was our two children's birthday. Thankfully, we didn't spend it in the hospital.

On their birthday, everyone who had watched the two little ones grow up came, including Xie Yuanyang and Yang Zhenzhen's child, who was also their cousin, a year older than them, as well as Huang Yaozu's daughter, Huang Yueyue.

The birthday party was lively, with the four children having a great time and the adults sitting together for a small gathering.

Huang Yaozu remained attentive to Xie Nanzhi, and Zhou Mubin couldn't help but speak up for him, "Nanzhi, why don't we just go along with Mr. Huang? These days, there aren't many people as devoted as Mr. Huang."

Everyone had a drink, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Taking the opportunity to curry favor, Huang Yaozu leaned closer and said, "Zhou Lu is your childhood friend, he wouldn't harm you, Nanzhi. Listen to advice, eat your fill, and just marry me."

Zhou Mubin, holding a wine glass, joked, "Buy one get two free, what a bargain!"

Xie Nanzhi was speechless, but since it was the children's birthday today, she was happy because the children were happy. "If I'm still single at forty, I'll take you in."

Huang Yaozu took it seriously and stared at her intently. "Are you serious?"

It was originally a joke, but Huang Yaozu's sudden seriousness left Xie Nanzhi somewhat at a loss.

Before she could explain, Huang Yaozu spoke up on his own, "Anyway, I'm serious, Nanzhi. I'll bring my dowry and move in with you on your fortieth birthday."

Xie Nanzhi is twenty-nine this year, and she still has eleven years until she is forty. She doesn't believe that Huang Yaozu can wait for her for more than ten years. Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "Okay."

When the children were tired from playing, Xie Nanzhi asked the servants to prepare guest rooms so that they could stay overnight.

The adults weren't satisfied with their drinks, so after the children went to sleep, Huang Yaozu suggested they go outside for a good drink.

The group went to a large club that had recently opened. The decor was brand new, and the equipment was top-of-the-line. It was the liveliest time of night.

Huang Yaozu ordered a lot of wine, and after a few rounds, everyone would gather in small groups to chat privately.

Xie Yuanyang held his wine glass and sighed.

Xie Nanzhi had just come from Zhou Mubin's place. She sat down and asked, "What's wrong? You look so worried."

Xie Yuanyang leaned back lazily on the sofa and smiled bitterly, "Luo Meijuan was beaten half to death by Cui Yong. Looking at her now, I can't describe how I feel."

Xie Nanzhi heard about this.

Luo Meijuan will be bedridden for the rest of her life and will be unable to take care of even the most basic aspects of her life.

Xie Yuanyang has been taking care of her during this time, and he has also covered the medical expenses and the cost of the caregiver. Xie Nanzhi didn't say anything about it.

Whatever decision he makes is none of her business.

But Xie Nanzhi couldn't bring herself to sympathize with Luo Meijuan.

Xie Nanzhi clinked glasses with him, "Where's Cui Yong?"

Xie Yuanyang, "has been detained for intentionally causing injury and resulting in disability, and is expected to be sentenced to ten years in prison."

It's all fate. Luo Meijuan wanted to use Cui Yong to regain a life of comfort and ease, but she never expected to end up like this.

Finally, Xie Nanzhi got up and went to the restroom.

When she came out, Huang Yaozu was waiting for her at the door.

His tall figure leaned against the wall, his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of affection. "I'm afraid you'll drink too much and not be able to find your way back."

In the private room, although Huang Yaozu was chatting with others, his gaze never left Xie Nanzhi.

Seeing her come out, Huang Yaozu followed her.

It must be admitted that Huang Yaozu does have some assets, and there are quite a few women in the industry who are interested in him. If he hadn't met Wei Chizheng first, he might have actually accepted her.

Xie Nanzhi walked over, her eyes smiling, "So thoughtful?"

Huang Yaozu never concealed his favoritism towards her, saying, "I'm so considerate to you, you can ask Yueyue if you don't believe me."

Huang Yaozu had never been this considerate to his deceased ex-wife.

One was a marriage alliance, the other was true love.

There are still differences.

"You and your daughter are in cahoots, do you think I'm stupid?"

The two chatted and laughed, and after drinking, her cheeks were slightly flushed, which made Huang Yaozu even more distracted.

He suddenly stopped and leaned down to look at Xie Nanzhi. "Nanzhi, it's not easy to find a life partner in this lifetime. Don't even mention forty, even if I'm fifty, I'm willing to wait for you."

Xie Nanzhi paused for a moment, and just then, her gaze inadvertently fell on the figure not far behind Huang Yaozu.

Wei Chizheng was staring at her intently.
