Upon hearing this, Gu Ying's expression stiffened, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. Yes, Shen Xingmian had said something similar to him before, saying that he should just think of Nan Zhi as her. He remembered that he couldn't stand it at the time and hit Shen Xingmian directly.
Even if Shen Xingmian said that, he certainly wouldn't have believed it at that time.
Thinking about all this, Gu Ying couldn't help but feel guilty and sad.
Nan Zhi patted Shen Xingmian's hand and then said, "Aying, none of this is your fault. I didn't explain it clearly to you back then. At least the result is good now, so I don't blame you."
Although Nanzhi said that, Gu Ying still felt uneasy. Nanzhi understood that this was not something that could be resolved in a day or two, and only hoped that Gu Ying would not take all the responsibility upon herself.
Nanzhi is recovering well and will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
First, I went back to the Shen residence, thinking of meeting with Old Master Shen, who must be very worried.
After Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian returned to the Shen residence, they discovered that a woman had arrived. She was dressed in a business suit and looked capable and efficient.
Shen Xingmian helped Nanzhi walk over. When Old Master Shen saw Nanzhi return, he was very happy and stood up, his face full of joy. "Zhizhi, you're finally back."
Old Master Shen had been to the hospital before, but at that time Nan Zhi was unconscious and the old man was in poor health. After a few visits, he fell ill. Later, Shen Xingmian stopped him from going, fearing that something might happen to Old Master Shen as well. In that case, he really didn't know what to do.
Nan Zhi walked over and took Old Shen's hand, her face showing a hint of apology. "Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Grandpa Shen shook his head, "As long as you're doing well, Grandpa is at ease."
Then, remembering something, he glanced at the person sitting on the sofa and introduced them to Nanzhi:
"By the way, this is your aunt, Shen Qing, who is also Hu Lai's mother."
Nanzhi had heard of this aunt, but had never met her. She couldn't even attend their wedding because of her company's business there. Now that she had suddenly appeared, Nanzhi was quite curious.
Shen Xingmian walked over and helped Nanzhi sit down before saying, "Xiyue Shengshi has moved back, which saves me from having to run back and forth all the time."
Nan Zhi looked up at him. The name Xi Yue Sheng Shi was a homophone for Xi Yue, which she used to be jealous of. She thought that Shen Xingmian had liked someone and even created a prosperous era for her. Now that she understood the connection, she felt a bit amused and exasperated.
“My aunt manages the company, so she came back.”
Actually, the move back had been in preparation for a long time. Shen Qing only recently returned and is still very busy. It was probably at the old man's request that she be able to come today.
Nanzhi smiled at Shen Qing and called out, "Auntie."
Shen Qing's expression was indifferent, showing neither joy nor dislike; she simply nodded faintly.
Nan Zhi couldn't quite figure out this person's temperament. Shen Xingmian held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Auntie has a rather cold personality, and she's like that with everyone, including Hu Lai."
Nan Zhi was still somewhat surprised, but since this was how they treated Shen Xingmian and the others, it was understandable. Some people are naturally not good at expressing themselves and don't like to talk.
After sitting for a while, Shen Qing didn't say much before standing up to say goodbye to Old Master Shen.
After saying that, he turned and left without a trace of regret.
Old Shen looked at Nanzhi and explained, "Qingqing is just like this, Zhizhi, don't take it too seriously."
Nanzhi waved her hand, "No, I don't mind."
At this point, Nan Zhi nudged Shen Xingmian and gave him a wink. Nan Zhi had always been thinking about Miao Miao Ji, also known as Shen Si Nan, so she had discussed this matter with Shen Xingmian at the hospital, wanting to adopt the child.
She still remembered the orphanage. Shen Sinan should be called Ali now. After explaining the whole story to Shen Xingmian, he agreed.
Today I came here firstly to visit Elder Shen, and secondly to speak with him and hope he will agree.
"Grandpa, Zhizhi and I want to adopt a child."
Upon hearing this, Old Shen couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. He subconsciously looked at Nan Zhi, thinking: Did this car accident render Nan Zhi infertile? If so, wouldn't his wish to hold a grandson be dashed? He felt a little regretful and sad, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Old Master Shen glanced at Nan Zhi for a moment before turning his gaze to Shen Xingmian. He knew his granddaughter-in-law was surely upset, so he didn't say anything more. He sighed and said:
"You two should discuss it together. If you're going to adopt, make sure you adopt a good one. Don't adopt someone who's cunning."
I thought it would take some persuasion to convince Old Shen, but to my surprise, he was so easy to talk to and agreed without saying a word.
"Sigh, you guys should go back first if you have nothing else to do. I'm sleepy too."
After Old Master Shen finished speaking, he was about to send them away. Shen Xingmian and Nan Zhi had no chance to say anything more. The old man was helped to his feet by the housekeeper and was about to return to his bedroom.
After returning home, Nanzhi became increasingly puzzled. "Shen Xingmian, why do I feel like Grandpa is a little unhappy?"
Shen Xingmian glanced at her, her expression unreadable, then smiled and said, "Is he disappointed? It's actually very simple to cheer him up."
Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "You know?"
Shen Xingmian nodded, "Come here, I'll tell you quietly."
Nanzhi leaned close to the man's ear, and he gazed at her with deep, dark eyes. Without saying a word, he picked her up and carried her in his arms.
"Hey? Shen Xingmian, what are you doing?"
Nan Zhi cried out in surprise and instinctively hugged Shen Xingmian's neck tightly.
Shen Xingmian looked down at her, his eyes as deep as the sea. Nan Zhi had seen him look like that too many times, so how could she not understand what this guy was planning to do?
“You… Shen Xingmian, it’s still daytime.”
Shen Xingmian chuckled, "Didn't you want to make Grandpa less sad? I'll teach you how now..."
Nan Zhi's face suddenly turned red. She didn't know where to look. Shen Xingmian, that rogue, how could he be so shameless? Look how reserved he was when he was young.
Nan Zhi was ultimately manipulated by Shen Xingmian, but fortunately, Shen Xingmian knew that Nan Zhi had just been discharged from the hospital and thus exercised some restraint.
Nan Zhi, dragging her lazy body, didn't even want to move her mouth. Held in the man's arms, she couldn't help but accuse, "Shen Xingmian, you are simply shameless."
Shen Xingmian was refreshed and did not deny it. Instead, she looked down at her calmly and said, "Zhizhi, this is what you owe me."
Nanzhi: "......"
Nan Zhi got up early. Today was another important day. She was going to go to the orphanage with Shen Xingmian to pick up Shen Si Nan.
"Phew, I'm suddenly a little nervous."
Shen Xingmian ruffled her hair. "What are you nervous about? We'll be there soon. I've already informed the orphanage."
Nanzhi sat in the car, lost in thought. She didn't know them at all, and she didn't know if she wanted to go home with them. What if she didn't like them?
