When Nan Xia moved to her rival's law firm, the entire city was in an uproar. Song Yanzhi, a legendary figure in the legal world, was known as her nemesis, but what people didn't know was t...
Chapter 204 Regret, but what's missed is missed.
When Zhou Yuanming saw that she had actually called the police, his brows furrowed deeply, and he felt a little panicked. Although he had done everything perfectly last night and had witnesses to testify for him, he was still afraid of being investigated.
After leaving the hospital, Nanxia went home, intending to apply an egg to the affected area to reduce the swelling before going back to work, otherwise people would laugh at her.
Just as Nan's mother was about to go out to deliver lunch to Er Yatou, she saw her suddenly run back, half of her face red and swollen. She asked anxiously:
"What happened to you? Which bastard hit you?"
“I’ve already taught the other person a lesson, it’s okay. Mom, you go and take my sister to eat. I can just use an ice pack at home,” she told her mother.
After thinking for a moment, Nan's mother guessed who it was. "Is it that guy surnamed Zhou? You've completely angered him now, so you have to be careful."
"I know, you and your sister need to be careful during this time." Nan Xia was giving her instructions when the doorbell suddenly rang. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was Song Yanzhi.
Did the bodyguard tell him?
Upon opening the door, Song Yanzhi immediately saw her swollen face and the cut on her lip. His handsome face darkened, and he gently stroked her face, asking:
"Does it hurt?"
Nan Xia quickly removed his hand, "This little pain is nothing serious, thank you for arranging the bodyguard."
If his bodyguard hadn't arrived in time, that guy surnamed Zhou wouldn't have let it go. Normally she wouldn't be afraid, but now that she's pregnant, she doesn't dare to fight at all.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Song Yanzhi said, then walked into the house as if they were old friends. Without waiting for her invitation, he went straight to the refrigerator, opened it, and found ice cubes inside.
I went to her bedroom and got a towel.
Seeing how thoughtful he was, Nan's mother walked over to her daughter and whispered:
"I think Attorney Song still has feelings for you. Anyway, you and Shen Yan aren't really dating, so why don't you reconsider Attorney Song?"
"What's done is done. Isn't it good to be ordinary friends?" Nan Xia still didn't intend to forgive him for the hurt he caused her, but she didn't hate him as much anymore.
Therefore, we can be ordinary friends.
"Such a good catch, how could you not seize the opportunity? It's such a tragedy. When will I ever be able to hold my grandson? I'm so unlucky..." Mother Nan lamented her misfortune.
Nanxia looked at her mother, a row of black lines appearing on her forehead, and urged, "Alright, hurry up and take your sister to eat, she must be hungry."
Nan's mother looked at the man standing on the island platform and deliberately said to him, "Then I'll trouble Attorney Song to take care of this girl for me. By the way, she hasn't eaten yet, could you please order a few dishes for her at the restaurant?"
“Okay, Auntie, don’t worry,” Song Yanzhi replied in a low voice.
After giving his instructions, Nan's mother left. He wrapped ice in a towel and walked over to her, just as he was about to apply it to her skin, Nan Xia took it from him.
"I can do it myself, you go and do your thing, I can order food myself."
“Eating out all the time isn’t good for your health. Let me cook for you. It’s not time for work yet, so I’m not busy.” Song Yanzhi said as she went to the open kitchen.
“It wouldn’t be good if your girlfriend found out. You should cook for her,” she said to him while applying an ice pack to her face.
Song Yanzhi glanced at her, said nothing, and silently took out the ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare a few simple stir-fries.
Nan Xia looked at the stubborn man with some helplessness... Suddenly her phone rang, and she went to the sofa to pick it up and saw that it was Shen Yan.
She glanced at the man standing in the kitchen. He shouldn't say anything out of line, right? She answered the phone: "Hello, what's up?"
"Let's have lunch together? Are you still at the law firm? I'll come pick you up." Shen Yan noticed that she hadn't come to Ruifeng that morning and assumed she was busy at the law firm.
"I...I need to go home for a bit. You can eat by yourself." She had no choice but to lie, planning to try and get the account book from him in the next few days, but she didn't know if he would give it to her.
It's best to come up with a suitable excuse, otherwise he'll definitely become suspicious.
"Okay, then I'll go to the hospital to see your mother and sister." Shen Yan hadn't yet won over his future mother-in-law's forgiveness, and he was busy with social engagements last night. He hung up the phone after saying that.
While washing vegetables, Song Yanzhi asked with a sharp pain in her chest, "Are you going to marry Shen Yan?"
"Why are you asking this?" Nan Xia sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and watched a mindless drama while applying a face mask. She usually didn't have time to watch dramas.
"Just asking," he said.
"Oh," she replied perfunctorily.
"Are you living with him now?" Song Yanzhi asked again.
Nanxia turned to look at him and said, "Yeah, we're living together now."
Song Yanzhi paused in washing the vegetables, her throat tightening as if a stone had been lodged there—even if she wanted to win her back, she wouldn't give herself another chance.
At the hospital.
Shen Yan brought fruit and nutritional supplements to the hospital again, and Nan's mother deliberately gave him a chance to enter the ward.
"Auntie, I'm here to apologize on behalf of my mother. That's just her personality, but I will never let her bully Nanxia." He came in, put down the gifts, and said in a very sincere tone and manner.
Last night, Nan Xia told her mother that there was no need to rush to forgive him. Nan's mother originally did not want to forgive him, but when she found out that they had all been lying to him, she still felt guilty.
Even if he is the son of an enemy, I can't bring myself to hate him. Ah Yan is a good person, unlike his heartless father.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Jia assumed she didn't want to talk to him, and said, "If you're still angry, Auntie, why don't you hit me to vent your anger?"
"Why would I hit you? You haven't offended me." Mrs. Nan sneered.
"Take the gifts back. I will not agree to you being with my daughter again. Your mother has a terrible personality. Even if you protect her, she will still take the initiative to cause trouble for her daughter-in-law."
I let you in so I could make things clear with you. You should break up with Xiaxia.
Shen Yan frowned and said, "I can go live abroad with Nan Xia and bring you all over with me."
"No need, I'm not used to living abroad. You should go back and stop being with Xiaxia." Nan's mother said, pushing him out.
Shen Yan really didn't know what to do. Should he elope with Nan Xia?

On the Nanxia side, Song Yanzhi saw that she was eating only vegetarian food, so he peeled a shrimp and held it to her mouth, saying, "Why are you only eating vegetarian food? Your body's resistance will drop. Eat this."
"I have a cold and don't want to eat meat. You can eat it yourself." She just couldn't eat meat right now, and Nanxia was afraid that she would vomit in front of him again and arouse his suspicion, so she immediately pushed it away.
But the next moment he fed it to me again: "Be good, eat quickly."
Looking at this stubborn and domineering man, she felt somewhat helpless and could only take it in her hand, silently take a deep breath, and put it in her mouth.
Sure enough, the nausea that was so intense from not being able to eat any meat came over her again. She immediately covered her mouth, got up and ran to her bathroom. After locking the door, she leaned over the toilet and vomited.
