Chapter 336 She Died

His eyes were deep, his unfathomable black pupils churning with complex emotions: an irrepressible longing, a hint of uncontrollable anxiety, and a vulnerability that even he himself was unaware of.

Wei Chizheng realized that Xie Nanzhi was just trying to coax him.

In fact, Wei Chizheng knew that Xie Nanzhi could not possibly still have any feelings for Shen Xu, but when he thought that Shen Xu was her first love and the first man she had ever been attracted to, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Wei Chizheng's gaze was drawn firmly to her face as if by a magnet, and even his breath seemed to freeze in her focus.

He just stared at her, watching her eyelashes flutter slightly, her lips pursed, even the sounds of cars on the street seemed to fade away. The next second, Wei Chizheng leaned down without any warning, his movements so fast she didn't have time to react.

His hand gently cupped the back of her neck, with an irresistible force, yet with care, as if afraid of breaking some precious treasure.

His warm lips suddenly covered hers, carrying the warmth of his palm and his barely concealed eagerness.

Wei Chi wanted to get closer, to become more immersed, to keep this woman firmly in his world, undiscovered by anyone.

After a long while, a kiss landed.

Xie Nanzhi's lips were swollen from being kissed, but she found Wei Chi's domineering manner adorable.

"Have you kissed enough?"

The unease in his heart dissipated because of the kiss, and Wei Chizheng returned to his normal self. "I haven't had enough kisses, wife. Let's continue tonight."

Xie Nanzhi was speechless. Couldn't he think of something else?

My mind is filled with yellow.

However, Shen Xu's appearance also made Xie Nanzhi more wary.

If he lives a quiet life after being released from prison, that's fine; Xie Nanzhi will definitely not cause him any more trouble.

But that's not the case. Shen Xu's direct warning to her meant that he would definitely not let the matter rest.

Fearing that Shen Xu might cause trouble, Xie Nanzhi sent Xie Yuanyang to investigate Shen Xu's situation the next day.

It turns out that after Shen Xu was released from prison, he went to work for an overseas company and is currently serving as the general manager of the China region.

Xie Nanzhi was curious, "Shen Xu's work ability is average, and his interpersonal relationships are mostly with fair-weather friends. How can someone be so capable that he can be placed in such a good company with an important position right after he is released from prison?"

Xie Yuanyang answered truthfully, "I've also investigated. The boss of this company is very mysterious and has never set foot in China. Moreover, Shen Xu's work was also ordered by him personally."

Xie Nanzhi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Forget it, send someone to keep an eye on Shen Xu. This guy doesn't seem to have any good intentions."

Xie Yuanyang nodded; he was also aware of Shen Xu's dangerousness.

However, he still had some mixed feelings.

After all, they were family friends for many years, and their relationship was quite good, aside from the fact that he was Xie Xiyan's husband.

Xie Nanzhi saw through his thoughts and said bluntly, "Brother, I know you and Shen Xu have a good relationship, but that's all in the past."

Xie Yuanyang: "I know."

Just then, Xie Yuanyang's phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from the hospital. He didn't even care whether Xie Nanzhi was beside him or not, and hurriedly answered, "Hello."

"Are you a family member of Luo Meijuan? Luo Meijuan is being resuscitated. Please come over immediately to sign the critical condition notice."

Xie Yuanyang immediately hung up the phone and prepared to go to the hospital.

Xie Nanzhi noticed that he seemed off and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Yuanyang frowned. "Luo Meijuan is being resuscitated. The hospital has issued a critical condition notice. I need to go to the hospital now."

Xie Yuanyang was in a hurry to leave, and as soon as he stepped out of the office, Xie Nanzhi followed him.

“You can’t drive in that mood, I’ll take you there.”

Xie Yuanyang was taken aback. Xie Nanzhi called out to him, "What are you thinking about? Aren't you coming?"

Xie Yuanyang belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly followed.

At the hospital, Luo Meijuan is undergoing emergency treatment.

It was clear that Xie Yuanyang was very anxious; he was genuinely worried about Luo Meijuan's condition.

Xie Nanzhi leaned against the wall, thinking that the best thing Luo Meijuan had ever done in her life was raising Xie Yuanyang.

If it weren't for Xie Yuanyang's kindness and righteousness, it's unimaginable how tragic Luo Meijuan's later years would have been.

Shortly after, the door to the emergency room was pushed open a crack, and a nurse rushed out. Xie Yuanyang almost immediately rushed over, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Nurse, how is she?"

Xie Nanzhi also stood up straight, her eyes fixed on the nurse.

"The patient's condition has worsened, and we can only do our best." After saying this, the nurse turned and walked into the emergency room.

Xie Yuanyang's tense body relaxed slightly. He leaned against the wall in the corridor and rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.

Xie Nanzhi walked over and handed him a bottle of water. "Brother, have some water."

Xie Yuanyang took the water but didn't turn it on. He just stared at the door of the emergency room, his voice a little hoarse, "Nanzhi, I know you hate her. Actually, I hated her before too, but I don't know when it started, my hatred for her gradually disappeared. I can always think of the way she held me when I was little, and the times she took me to play."

Xie Nanzhi was stunned. In her memory, Luo Meijuan had actually treated Xie Yuanyang quite well. Given her selfish and self-serving personality, it was truly remarkable that she would treat a child who wasn't her own.

No wonder Xie Yuanyang disliked her.

Xie Nanzhi said softly, "She is good to you."

Just then, the lights in the emergency room suddenly went out, and the doctor came out. Xie Yuanyang immediately went to greet him.

Xie Yuanyang asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is the patient?"

The doctor removed his mask, a troubled expression on his face. "I'm sorry, we've done everything we could to save him, but the patient's body is already at its limit. You, the family, can start preparing for the worst."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanyang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally sank to the bottom.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Xie Yuanyang still couldn't accept it. He staggered a big step, and Xie Nanzhi quickly caught him.

"Brother, please accept my condolences."

The lights in the corridor no longer seemed so glaring, and the smell of disinfectant seemed to have faded a bit.

Luo Meijuan was wheeled out of the emergency room, pale-faced and on a ventilator; she seemed to still be somewhat conscious.

Xie Nanzhi watched as Xie Yuanyang carefully followed the hospital bed, and she slowly followed in his footsteps.

The doctor meant that she should say whatever she wanted to say as soon as possible, as Luo Meijuan could die at any moment.

Xie Yuanyang was by her side. Luo Meijuan's eyes were red. Through the oxygen mask, she stammered, "Yuanyang, it's good that you're here. I haven't raised you in vain in my life."

She reached out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Xie Yuanyang, "Do you still resent me?"

Xie Yuanyang looked at her and gently shook his head.

Just then, Luo Meijuan saw Xie Nanzhi not far away, and instantly became agitated.
