Chapter 29 What are you plotting?

What favor did she owe him?

Should we carry her into the car?

Xie Nanzhi frowned, her face full of resentment.

Wei Chizheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Nan, as a friend, you shouldn't refuse me."

You're a genius and I'm friends.

However, considering the consequences of offending him, Xie Nanzhi felt it was better to avoid trouble and decided to drive there.

Throughout the journey, Wei Chizheng kept looking at his phone, seemingly dealing with some work-related matters.

Xie Nanzhi was preoccupied and driving absentmindedly, not paying attention to what he was doing.

This was the first time she had seen the scenery along the way in a place she had lived in for three years. Looking at the neatly trimmed trees, she guessed that the Cloud Top Villas were probably just ahead.

In Hong Kong, Cloud Top Villa is considered one of the most prestigious luxury residences. Back then, Pei Jingchuan bought this land and personally commissioned someone to design and build this villa.

Xie Nanzhi only learned later from the Xie family that the name of Yunding Villa was given by Xie Xiyan, but at the time Xie Nanzhi never thought much of it.

She assumed that Xie Xiyan and Pei Jingchuan had grown up in the same orphanage and had a deep bond, until three months ago when she realized that everything was due to Pei Jingchuan's profound love for Xie Xiyan.

Tulips planted in the garden, a horse ranch on the hill behind the villa, the largest private swimming pool in the port city...

Now it seems that everything was prepared by Pei Jingchuan according to Xie Xiyan's preferences.

It's so obvious, how come I didn't notice it back then?

Xie Nanzhi hated her own stupidity. If she hadn't placed her hopes on a man, she wouldn't have ended up in such a terrible situation.

One such bloody lesson is enough.

In this world, the only person she can truly rely on is herself.

Just then, perhaps Xie Nanzhi was distracted while driving and forgot to turn, the car drove straight towards the median strip ahead.

Realizing what was happening, Xie Nanzhi quickly turned the steering wheel, causing the rear of the car to skid and nearly take off.

Due to inertia, she leaned forward, and just as her forehead was about to hit the steering wheel in front of her, a hot hand blocked her forehead.

The expected pain was stopped by the resistance of her hand, and the car came to an abrupt stop. Xie Nanzhi felt dizzy.

Then she heard a man's deep, concerned voice beside her, "Nanzhi, how are you?"

Xie Nanzhi looked up at Wei Chizheng in the passenger seat, somewhat surprised. When did he unbuckle his seatbelt?

In that dangerous situation, did he unbuckle his seatbelt to protect her?

His actions puzzled Xie Nanzhi and made her feel uneasy.

Xie Nanzhi shook her head. "I'm fine."

Wei Chizheng scrutinized her for a few seconds, then sat up straight and fastened his seatbelt, as if the little incident that had happened earlier was just an illusion.

Xie Nanzhi composed herself and continued on her way.

About five minutes later, Xie Nanzhi parked the car outside the Cloud Top Villa.

She stepped out of the car and gazed at the ancient-style building in front of her. It was more like a luxurious mansion of an ancient high-ranking official than a villa.

The Chinese-style decoration makes it look so noble and gorgeous.

No wonder everyone says that Genting Villas is the premier luxury residence in Hong Kong; it truly lives up to that title.

This magnificent building wasn't built for her, but for Xie Xiyan, the woman who permeated Pei Jingchuan's entire soul.

Xie Xiyan likes Chinese elements, so Pei Jingchuan built a villa in the clouds. Xie Xiyan likes to wear cheongsams, so Pei Jingchuan wants to dress her up like his lover.

How ironic.

Seeing this scene, Xie Nanzhi smiled.

She was even somewhat relieved that she had heard the truth at the hospital three months ago, otherwise she didn't know how long she would have been fooled like a fool.

Gradually, Xie Nanzhi's eyes became more and more clear-headed, even carrying a hint of coldness.

Suddenly, the hum of construction vehicles came from both sides of the Cloud Top Villa, and Xie Nanzhi turned her gaze away.

Bulldozers and excavators arrived one after another, five or six of them. She was full of surprise until the excavator's arm hit the building, and Xie Nanzhi realized what was happening.

She quickly looked at Wei Chizheng, who was diagonally behind her.

The tall, imposing man stood with his hands in his pockets, his calm and composed face showing no emotion. Xie Nanzhi had never met a man more enigmatic than him.

Xie Nanzhi asked, "Do you have a grudge against Pei Jingchuan?"

Wei Chizheng remained expressionless, his deep gaze fixed on the place that was about to become ruins. "I suppose so."

Xie Nanzhi couldn't understand him, so she tilted her head and pressed him for an answer, "Yes or no, what kind of answer is ambiguity?"

Suddenly, Wei Chi looked at her, and for some reason, Xie Nanzhi seemed to see a burning passion in his pupils.

Then I heard, "Pei Jingchuan hurt someone who is very important to me. So, he should be considered my enemy."

Xie Nanzhi hurriedly averted her gaze and slowly processed Wei Chizheng's words.

She had never met him before, so the person Wei Chizheng was talking about couldn't be her. However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and in a sense, she and Wei Chizheng shared a common goal.

Perhaps they could work together someday in the future, Xie Nanzhi thought to herself.

Then, Wei Chizheng suddenly said, "Miss Nan's eyes darted around, what is she plotting?"

Xie Nanzhi looked up blankly. "Hmm? It's nothing. Mr. Wei, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Nanzhi, and I am a painter."

Wei Chizheng suppressed a laugh, "Yeah, I know."

Sure enough, he had investigated her.

It doesn't matter. She didn't do anything wrong, and there's nothing shameful about it.

Xie Nanzhi's attitude was clear, and especially when she saw the demolished buildings in front of her, her mood suddenly brightened, as if the shackles that had bound her soul had been broken.

Xie Nanzhi smiled sincerely. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Goodbye, Mr. Wei."

After saying that, Xie Nanzhi turned and got into the car.

Wei Chizheng's gaze followed her shadow until it disappeared into the distance. He smiled and said to himself, "Nanzhi, I look forward to seeing you again."

In fact, the Cloud Top Villa was obtained by Wei Chizheng through his scheme. Mu Lin arranged the demolition work today. He did not intend for Xie Nanzhi to witness it in person. If he had not happened to run into her, he would not have changed his mind at the last minute.

For Wei Chizheng, this place was filled with Xie Nanzhi and Pei Jingchuan's memories, and just thinking about it made him extremely unhappy. Therefore, he was determined to demolish this place, along with her pain and humiliation.

The following day, Xie Nanzhi saw news reports about the demolition of the Cloud Top Villas, which sparked a variety of opinions among netizens.

Some even said that the feng shui of the Cloud Top Villa was bad, which was why it had to be demolished and rebuilt. They cited many examples in the comments section, basically attributing Pei Jingchuan's bad luck to the villa's feng shui.

Xie Nanzhi found it interesting and even liked the comment.

She was leaning back on the sofa surfing the 5G internet when she suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly opened Weibo to post a status update.

Within just one hour, Xie Nanzhi's post became a trending topic.

#Renowned painter Amanda will attend an art exhibition held at the Berlin Exhibition Center on the 26th of this month.

At the same time, Xie Xiyan's name became a trending topic, and the popularity of the art exhibition rose again and again, causing a sensation in the art circle. Many people in the circle planned to go and join in the fun.

Looking at her masterpiece, Xie Nanzhi smiled with satisfaction.

She wanted Xie Xiyan to be the center of attention; only by standing at the highest point would the fall hurt more.

This was the first time she had ever looked forward to an art exhibition so much.

Before she knew it, it was time for Xie Xiyan to hold her solo art exhibition.
