“If he’s not doing well, I’ll bring him back, even if it takes any means necessary.”
A flash of malice crossed Shen Xingmian's eyes. If things were going well, that would be one thing, but if they weren't, the director of the orphanage would naturally bear some responsibility.
Judging from his demeanor today, you can tell he's not a fair person.
After waiting for a while, the dean finally found the file. Ali had been adopted by a man named Liu Qi. They were a couple who had no children and lived in the eastern part of the city. People in this area were at most well-off, but not badly off. So, it seemed that Ali being adopted was a good thing.
After leaving the orphanage, Nan Zhi became worried and was no longer as cheerful as before.
Shen Xingmian reached out and hugged her. "Don't worry, we'll definitely find it."
Nanzhi frowned. "I don't know why, but after I found out he was adopted, I panicked. It was as if he wasn't doing well and we were too late."
This is a woman's sixth sense; Nan Zhi genuinely feels that Chen Si Nan is probably living a very bad life.
"I'll go and get someone to investigate. Let's find Liu Qi and his wife first."
Nanzhi could only nod.
As a result, news came in the afternoon.
Shen Xingmian's expression was also unpleasant. Looking at Hu Lai in front of her, she said coldly, "How could there not be? The information shows that it is in the East District of the city."
Hu Lai was also helpless. When Nan Zhi was in a coma, he was in charge of the company. Now that Nan Zhi had finally woken up, Shen Xingmian was still unwilling to let him go.
“It’s true, there isn’t any. I’ll ask Song Yiming to investigate, since he has the expertise in this area.”
Now that Xiyue Shengshi has been moved back, and Song Yiming and Ji Fan have both arrived here, Hu Lai thought he could finally relax a bit. However, Shen Xingmian keeps using the excuse of wanting him to go to Xiyue as well, forcing him to work like a slave here.
He didn't want to go to Xiyue. His mother was there, and she was cold and aloof all day long, like a machine with extremely strict requirements. Hu Lai was determined not to go.
After hearing Hu Lai's words, Shen Xingmian raised her head, looking at him with an unreadable expression. After a long while, she spoke softly:
"If you don't even have this much ability, I think you still need more experience. Your aunt is a good place for you."
Upon hearing this, Hu Lai trembled and hurriedly said, "No, please don't, I'll go check again."
As an orphan, Hu Lai had no idea why they were investigating this, so he only investigated the surface level.
Only Old Master Shen knew that Shen Xingmian and Nan Zhi were going to adopt a child; the rest of the family was unaware of it.
Over the weekend, Nan Zhi went to the association. During the time she was in a coma, the former president and vice president had been handling the important matters.
After arriving, I simply explained the reasons to everyone and also mentioned that I would come to the association on time to help everyone improve.
Before leaving, An Ran couldn't help but ask her, "Nan Zhi, you've only just recovered. You can come back in a while."
An Ran and Cheng Yi visited her at the hospital after she woke up, and Nan Zhi remembered them. Hearing this, she smiled and shook her head, "She's not that fragile. She's completely recovered now. You and Cheng Yi should focus on your design work. The next big prize will be yours."
Nan Zhi deliberately linked An Ran and Cheng Yi together, and An Ran's face immediately turned red. She said angrily, "Who wants to study with him? I still prefer to study with you."
Nanzhi: "......"
Nan Zhi glanced at Cheng Yi who was walking over and chuckled, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare to study with you."
He then whispered in An Ran's ear, "I'm afraid Cheng Yi will hit me."
An Ran stomped her foot in anger, but Nan Zhi had already left.
She has other commitments this week and cannot stay at the association any longer.
As soon as she stepped out of the association, Shen Xingmian waited outside. Ever since the car accident, Shen Xingmian was completely worried about leaving Nan Zhi alone, fearing that something might happen to her.
Nanzhi opened the car door and got in. When she saw the person in the passenger seat, her eyes lit up. "Hey? Aying, what are you doing here?"
Gu Ying turned to look at her, with a gentleness and smile she never showed to others, "I heard you're going to see Lian Chuchu today, I'll go too."
Indeed, after much deliberation, Nan Zhi decided to go see Lian Chuchu. After all, they had been at odds for so long, and this person even wanted her dead. Nan Zhi was never a saint, and even if she went to prison, she didn't want to let her go.
Based on her understanding of Lian Chuchu, this person must be extremely smug. Even if life in prison is not good, she must be feeling relaxed. She wanted to die, and now, Lian Chuchu probably thinks she is really dead.
I wonder what expression that person will have when they see me standing in front of her.
"I'm not going to go see her to say anything nice to her, so what are you going to do?"
Nanzhi was helpless. She wasn't going anywhere, yet she kept bringing up one thing after another.
"Xixi, do you hate me now?"
Instantly, Gu Ying's expression changed, she looked extremely sad, and she looked at Nan Zhi with great sorrow.
Nan Zhi: "..." This person is now used to playing the victim.
Suddenly, Shen Xingmian reached out and pulled Nanzhi into his arms, speaking in an unyielding tone:
"Does the Gu family not have a car?"
Nan Zhi's face was forcibly pressed against Shen Xingmian's chest, so she couldn't see anything, only hear their conversation.
"Why say that, Patriarch Shen? I'm here to see Xixi, not you."
Gu Ying refused to budge an inch, and Shen Xingmian sneered, "She is my wife, so what right do you have to approach her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ying fell silent. Yes, what right did he have to contact her now?
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi realized that Shen Xingmian had once again offended her, so she quickly struggled to raise her head and said:
“Aying is like family to me, Shen Xingmian, don’t bully him.”
Shen Xingmian: "......."
With so many family members from his wife's side, he felt a lot of pressure.
Gu Ying's eyes lit up, and she looked at Nan Zhi with a smile, "Xi Xi, you're so kind."
Nanzhi: "......"
Please don't look at her with those puppy-dog eyes.
Since clearing up the misunderstanding with Nan Zhi, Gu Ying has regained his youthful puppy-like charm in front of Nan Zhi, being obedient and cute. Generally speaking, it would be awkward for an adult to make such expressions, but Gu Ying is different. This pitiful expression seems to be tailor-made for him, making people feel sorry for him.
In the end, Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying stopped bickering. Nan Zhi felt that the two of them were like children who hadn't grown up, and they always had to argue to feel comfortable.
Prison life was truly terrifying for Lian Chuchu. She had been in prison for two months and was covered in injuries. The initial retaliation was severe, and Lian Chuchu once thought she wouldn't be able to hold on.
But later, she gradually realized that the heavier the revenge, the smaller the chances of Nanzhi surviving; perhaps, she would even be buried in the ground.
Thinking of this, she was overjoyed and could no longer feel the pain in her body.
