Chapter 333 What position, very six plus one

When Xie Nanzhi and Xi Bei arrived, Zhou Mubin's left leg and right arm were already in casts, his head was wrapped in gauze, and there was a bruise on the corner of his mouth.

Xibei's mind is quick, but her mouth is even faster: "Oh my, what kind of pose is this? 'Very Six Plus One'?"

Zhou Mubin glared at her fiercely, "Nanzhi, you shut Xibei's mouth. I'm afraid if I hear another word from her, she'll send me straight to the Western Paradise."

Xie Nanzhi chuckled to herself but didn't reply.

On the contrary, Xibei delivered the decisive blow: "Wouldn't it be better to send you to paradise as soon as possible?"

Zhou Mubin got up angrily to provoke her, but forgot that he was a patient. The movement aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

Xibei made a face, deliberately trying to annoy him.

Xie Nanzhi said, "Alright, stop making him angry. He looks quite pitiful."

Xi Bei plopped down, showing absolutely no sympathy for Zhou Mubin. "Nan Zhi, have you ever heard the saying, 'There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.' Old Zhou deserves it."

The three of them grew up together and said whatever came to mind; of course, none of them ever got really angry.

Moreover, Xie Nanzhi also felt that Xibei was right.

Zhou Mubin truly deserved it.

He didn't cherish her when she was pursuing him, but now that she has a boyfriend, he's unhappy about it.

Zhou Mubin was speechless after Xi Bei's words. He could only lean against the headboard, frowning and enduring the pain.

He wanted to argue, but the words stuck in his throat.

Xibei himself understood what he meant by those words.

Xie Nanzhi tossed her a bottle of water, her tone calm, "Drink some water, calm down."

Water dripped onto his chest, and Zhou Mubin stared at her resentfully, "Nanzhi, are you sure you want me to unscrew it myself?"

Oh, I forgot he broke his arm.

Xie Nanzhi unscrewed the bottle cap for him again, teasingly saying, "If it's not cold enough, I'll go add some ice for you?"

Zhou Mubin frowned and shouted, "You and Xibei are the same. You don't care about any good things. I've already gone through all this, and you're not even bothered by it. Instead, you're making things difficult for me."

He sipped his water, his gaze drifting unconsciously to the window, as if he were reminiscing about something.

Just as he managed to calm his agitation, the image of Cui Xiao kissing Mo Ziqian made Zhou Mubin's heart clench again.

Xibei sat on the chair next to him, swinging her legs. Seeing his expression, she couldn't help but speak up, "It's not that we're making things difficult for you, it's that you're making things difficult for yourself. You don't like her, but you can't stand to see her doing well? Old Zhou, what kind of twisted mentality do you have?"

Zhou Mubin gritted his teeth, "But she can't kiss another man in front of me, can she?"

Xibei's eyes widened, and Xie Nanzhi was also startled.

Xi Bei: "Great job, Cui Xiao has really made something of herself."

Xie Nanzhi didn't expect Cui Xiao to deliver such a decisive blow right away. No wonder Lao Zhou drove his car into it. "This was quite a shock."

Xi Bei and Xie Nanzhi started chatting. "Nanzhi, I think Cui Xiao is definitely serious this time."

Xie Nanzhi nodded. "Most likely. Cui Xiao isn't a casual girl. She probably approved of you, which is why she did this in front of you."

Xibei said, "Should I prepare some red envelopes? Maybe I'll need them soon."

Xie Nanzhi: "You reminded me, I should start preparing too."

Zhou Mubin was furious and could no longer tolerate it. "You two, that's enough!"

Xibei raised an eyebrow. "That can't be."

Xie Nanzhi felt no sympathy for Zhou Mubin. "Old Zhou, Cui Xiao used to like you, but no matter how warm her heart was, it couldn't withstand your cold treatment. Now that she has a boyfriend, she's putting an end to her unrequited love. Old Zhou, for the sake of Cui Xiao's past deep affection for you, you shouldn't bother her life anymore."

Mentioning Cui Xiao, Zhou Mubin tightened his grip on the cup, his fingertips turning white.

He still remembers the disappointment and resolute look in her eyes when she looked at him.

He used to really think that Cui Xiao would stay with him forever, but when she actually turned and left, he belatedly realized that he was in a panic.

Xie Nanzhi added softly, "Actually, I can feel the change in Cui Xiao during these last few meetings. Before, Cui Xiao seemed to be living in a cage, but now she's much happier than when she was with you."

Hearing this, Zhou Mubin felt even worse.

He put down the water bottle, leaned against the headboard, and frowned even more deeply.

"I know, you two didn't come to comfort me, you came to stab me in the back."

Xibei pursed her lips and didn't say anything more hurtful. After all, Zhou Mubin was still injured, and it wouldn't be appropriate to upset him further.

She stood up and patted Xie Nanzhi on the shoulder. "Nanzhi, let's not stay here too long. Let him think it over on his own."

Xie Nanzhi nodded and looked at Zhou Mubin, "Then we'll be going now. You get some rest, and call us if anything happens."

Zhou Mubin hummed in agreement, watching Xie Nanzhi and Xibei's departing figures, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The ward fell silent instantly, with only his heavy breathing remaining.

He closed his eyes, and images of his time with Cui Xiao flashed through his mind. Those details that he had once overlooked now seemed to be full of Cui Xiao's affection.

He didn't know if he regretted it, nor was he clear whether his feelings for Cui Xiao were love or habit, or perhaps resentment.

He was unwilling to accept that someone who once had his heart and soul completely for him had suddenly stopped loving him.

Zhou Mubin couldn't accept this disparity, which made him feel incredibly frustrated.

...

Northwest and Xie Nanzhi chatted downstairs for a while before parting ways.

As soon as Xie Nanzhi got into the car, Wei Chizheng's phone rang. It was Xie Yuanyang calling.

Xie Nanzhi answered the phone and heard Xie Yuanyang say, "Nanzhi, we've taken over the mine." Wei Yongxian was so angry that he flew into a rage on the spot.

Everything was as expected, and Xie Nanzhi was not surprised at all. "I didn't originally want the mine, but he was just too arrogant, and I really couldn't stand it."

The Nanzheng Group is now at its zenith, and the Wei family is no longer a threat to them.

Xie Yuanyang was somewhat worried, "Nanzhi, your brother-in-law's surname is Wei after all, won't he have any objections?"

Xie Nanzhi gripped the steering wheel with one hand and smiled jokingly, "Don't worry, he won't."

Hearing Xie Nanzhi's confidence, Xie Yuanyang felt relieved. "Okay, that's good. I'm relieved now."

After finishing discussing the mine, Xie Yuanyang didn't intend to hang up. Xie Nanzhi asked curiously, "Brother, is there anything else?"

Xie Yuanyang stammered, "Nanzhi, there's actually something else I want to tell you, but I'm afraid you won't want to hear it."

Xie Nanzhi said, "Brother, there's nothing we can't talk about."

After a long pause, Xie Yuanyang finally said, "Luo Meijuan wants to see you."

Luo Meijuan...

A name that was both strange and familiar; she seemed not to have heard it in a long time.
