Chapter 5 She's Gone

Deng Xiu wanted to follow, but the old man stopped her, "Stop! If you can't teach your son well, then don't teach him bad things. You're about to tear our good family apart. Go back to your room."

Deng Xiu didn't dare to contradict the old man, so he could only glare at Nan Xi and leave unconvinced.

Qi Zhengchu also turned around and said goodbye.

The old man came to Nan Xi and said, "Xixi, your mother is confused, ignore her. Xiaoze is ignorant, grandpa will talk to him later. If you have any problems in the future, come to me and I will take care of it for you."

Over the years, Grandpa has been very good to Nan Xi and protected her like his own granddaughter. Nan Xi is very grateful.

However, Grandpa had high blood pressure, so Nan Xi didn't tell him that she and Qin Xiaoze had signed a divorce agreement. She only said, "Grandpa, I will take care of these things. Don't worry."

Nan Xi personally fed the old man the medicine and left the old house.

Passing by the corridor, I heard Qin Xiaoze and Qi Zhengchu arguing about something.

She wanted to leave immediately, but she heard her name.

"Nan Xi and Lin Rufei, who do you love?"

Hearing this, Nan Xi stopped.

"Why are you asking this?" Qin Xiaoze was a little impatient.

Qi Zhengchu insisted, "If you don't love Nan Xi, then let her go as soon as possible. If you continue like this, she will get hurt."

"Hurt? Can't you see how much she loves me?" Qin Xiaoze pointed in the direction of the old man's bedroom. "She even took care of me for my grandfather. I am with her because I love her."

"Qin Xiaoze, Nan Xi is also made of flesh and blood. No matter how much she loves you, she can't be bullied by you like this. If you hurt her so frequently, she will also be hurt. I advise you to draw a clear line between yourself and Lin Rufei and be with Nan Xi. Maybe it's not too late. Otherwise, when she really leaves one day, it will be too late for you to cry."

"No." Qin Xiaoze said firmly, "She has given so much for me, she can't bear to leave me."

…

Fatigue and weakness instantly swept over my whole body.

Nan Xi suddenly felt tired.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, she finally understood that her endless efforts were not rewarded with love and respect from the other party, but with indifference and entitlement in his eyes.

She returned home exhausted and took her packed luggage with her.

Before leaving the bedroom, she picked up the photo of them together, tore it apart with force, and threw it into the trash can.

I walked to the door, took a look at the home where I had lived for five years, turned around and left without any reluctance.

Nanxi stopped when she saw Aunt Chen who was cleaning. "Aunt Chen, there are four necklaces in the room that I don't want anymore. I'm giving them to you."

That was the wedding anniversary gift Qin Xiaoze gave her for the past four years. Although it was exactly the same, she still treasured it, but now it has no meaning.

Seeing the suitcase in Nanxi's hand, Chen Ma was confused. "Madam, did you have a fight with your husband? Where are you going?"

"Not Madam anymore. There will be a new mistress here soon."

After getting in the car, Nan Xi was about to make a call when her cell phone rang first. "Hello, Miss Nan, I'm the HR of Mu Group. We sent you the offer letter last week. What do you think of it?"

"Sorry, I'm not considering work for now."

She wanted to go home. Her parents and brother must miss her too. She left home on her own accord and married Qin Xiaoze despite her family's opposition, which hurt their hearts. Now she was going back in disgrace. She wondered if they would be angry.

The call is connected.

Before Nan Xi could speak, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xixi, something big happened at home."

Nan Xi's heart skipped a beat. "Brother, what happened to my parents?"

"It's me. My investment failed and my family is going bankrupt."

"What?"

"Now, only Mu Yichen can help me, but he has a request. He wants... Forget it, I'd better not implicate you."

"Come on, what does he want?"

"He wants to marry into our family."

Nan Xi's ears suddenly became quiet. Over the years, she had hurt her parents' feelings because of her willfulness. Now that her family company was in trouble, she could not just stand by and watch.

If Qin Xiaoze can turn around and marry Lin Rufei, then she can also turn around and marry someone else.

"I agree to the marriage."

——

After leaving the old house, Qin Xiaoze did not return to the company. He made several phone calls and finally found Lin Rufei, coaxing her out together.

Lin Rufei suffered so much injustice in the old house, he had to comfort her in time.

The little girl has a bad temper, so you need more patience to coax her.

He booked the entire rose garden just to get a smile from Lin Rufei.

"Do you like it?" In the pavilion, Qin Xiaoze put his arm around Lin Rufei's waist and asked, pointing at the rose garden all over the mountain.

Lin Rufei raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of smiles, "I'm not angry, you don't have to worry so much about me."

Lin Rufei was happy, and Qin Xiaoze was also happy, "It's worth the effort to make you happy."

"Xiao Ze, you're so nice to me." Lin Rufei said this and looked at Qin Xiaoze, "Have you ever coaxed Nan Xi like this?"

Nan Xi’s well-behaved face flashed before Qin Xiaoze’s eyes.

Gentle and quiet, although she is 80% similar to Lin Rufei, her face is more well-behaved, while Lin Rufei is more bold and charming.

That year, after Lin Rufei left, his heart died as well. Even after he married Nan Xi, he never spent any time thinking about her. Instead, she took good care of him.

Qin Xiaoze's eyes flashed with coldness, "How can she compare with you?"

Lin Rufei was not very satisfied with this answer. "You are so nice to me. If Nan Xi knew about it, would she quarrel with you again?"

Nan Xi has indeed been a little disobedient recently, speaking in a sarcastic tone, as if she has become a different person.

But Qin Xiaoze never thought of giving up Nan Xi. She was sensible and considerate, and knew how to take care of him. Most importantly, he didn't need to spend too much time on her. He could just buy her some gifts to coax her and she would be very happy.

He was busy with work and never gave her anything, but every wedding anniversary, he would ask Luo Rongfei to buy her a necklace and bring it back after get off work.

When she received the necklace, she was so happy that she would take it out to look at it from time to time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that their wedding anniversary should be coming soon. He could take this opportunity to give her the necklace and explain a few words to her. She would probably calm down.

He called Luo Rongfei and said, "Go buy her another necklace that we wore for our wedding anniversary last year and bring it back to her."

Luo Rongfei was surprised, "Boss Qin, our wedding anniversary was yesterday. It's already passed."

Is it over?

He picked up his phone and looked at it, and it was true, but he was busy coaxing Rufei yesterday and forgot about it.

No wonder she was so angry.

She probably won't mind adding one.

"Go buy it and bring it here."

"yes."

After Luo Rongfei left, Qin Xiaoze told Lin Rufei, "Don't worry, Nanxi is easily satisfied. Once the necklace is given away, everything will be fine."

Lin Rufei lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. When she raised them, she came up with an idea, "Yesterday was your wedding anniversary. I didn't know and asked you to accompany me for the whole day. How about I call and apologize to Nan Xi, so that she won't be angry with you."

"No need to spoil her." Qin Xiaoze refused.

Let Rufei apologize to Nanxi?

There's no need for that.

If this precedent is set, Nan Xi will definitely become arrogant and bully Ru Fei.

Lin Rufei smiled contentedly, "Xiao Ze, you are so nice to me."

Qin Xiaoze was about to speak when the phone rang. Seeing that it was the home phone, he understood. It must be Nan Xi who wanted to urge him to go home, but was worried that he would be angry, so she borrowed Chen Ma's hand.

He picked up the phone, pressed the hands-free button, and before the other end could speak, he said coldly, "Tell her I'm busy and don't have time to go home."

However, Chen Ma's anxious voice came from the phone, "Sir, the wife is gone."
