Shen Xingmian didn't think much of it and explained to her that the Xu family had experienced an accident a long time ago.
Xu Jingzhi's mother and father had a big fight for some unknown reason and packed their things to leave home. At that time, Nanzhi's mother happened to be visiting relatives at the Xu family, so she and Xu Guang's wife persuaded their eldest uncle to go out and find their eldest aunt.
The three of them drove there, but they got into a car accident on their way to find someone, and none of them survived.
When Xu Jingzhi's mother finally learned of this, she was filled with remorse and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
This incident caused a huge uproar at the time, but the Xu family remained silent about the reasons, and afterwards, only these four people remained in the Xu family.
Nan Zhi was stunned when she heard this; she had no idea that such a big thing had happened in the Xu family.
Logically speaking, since her mother died because of the Xu family, these people should feel more guilty towards Nanzhi. However, Nanzhi did not feel that these people owed her anything; on the contrary, they seemed to... dislike her.
How did you know these things?
Shen Xingmian pulled the person to the bedside and sat down. He said frankly:
“I was young at the time. My grandfather brought me to the Xu family to attend a funeral, so I know a little about it.”
Nanzhi thought for a while and didn't press the matter further. Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing.
Finally, remembering what happened at dinner, she glanced at him indifferently and said, "You've really got Xu Yao's eyes on you."
Shen Xingmian had obviously thought of this as well, and her expression was slightly embarrassed. She then calmly said, "This is an uncontrollable factor." She then reached out and touched the girl's cheek, which was soft and delicate. "Since Zhizhi is so worried, then let her marry into the family sooner and declare her ownership."
Nan Zhi's face flushed instantly, and she gritted her teeth, "You're changing the subject again."
A smile appeared on Shen Xingmian's lips as she stated confidently, "Is that so? I'm just stating the facts."
"Miss, I don't think he's done anything wrong. He's just stating the facts. If you don't get married, he doesn't belong to you."
Meow Meow Machine is so tiring. I was thinking that if I could find a partner with it, I would achieve great success.
But seeing that many people coveted Shen Xingmian, its heart instantly tightened again.
This only shows that the war is not over yet, and the people still need to work hard. They are suffering, and they are so pitiful.
Nanzhi listened to Miaomiaoji's complaints but couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
"Alright, that's enough. We're getting married sooner or later anyway." Shen Xingmian ruffled Nanzhi's hair. "Zhizhi, wasn't it a bit inappropriate for you to come into my room on your own initiative tonight?"
Nanzhi glared at him angrily, "This isn't your room; it's just a temporary guest room, like mine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian felt displeased. The house the Xu family had prepared for their grandson was actually a guest room, which showed a lack of respect for Nanzhi.
His precious treasure, which he cherished so dearly, was treated with such disdain.
"I'll take care of you from now on."
A sudden remark filled Nanzhi with sweetness. She turned her head, buried her face in the man's arms, and remained silent.
Shen Xingmian simply stroked her hair, again and again, very gently.
Nanzhi didn't know how she fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying in her own room, still not knowing how she got back.
Shen Xingmian glanced at his phone and sent her a message saying he had left first.
Nanzhi washed up and went downstairs. Old Xu was reading the morning paper. When he saw Nanzhi come down, he smiled kindly.
"Zhizhi, did you sleep well last night?"
Nanzhi nodded. "Good morning, Grandpa. Where is everyone else?"
"Jingzhi took Yaoyao to exercise, and your second uncle went to the company."
Nanzhi smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, I plan to take a stroll around Yuecheng today."
Old Xu said with a smile:
"Of course, you haven't been to Yuecheng for many years. After dinner, your cousin and sister will take you there."
Nan Zhi smiled and declined, "Don't trouble them. My cousin and cousin must be very busy. I can go by myself."
Old Xu persisted in his opinion, and in the end, Nanzhi simply couldn't reason with him.
Xu Jingzhi forced Xu Yao to exercise. When they returned, Xu Yao was covered in sweat and complained to Old Master Xu, feeling wronged:
"Grandpa, my brother is really too much. I'm exhausted."
Xu Jingzhi took a sip of water and smiled at Old Xu:
"Yaoyao is getting more and more spoiled. I basically had to pull her along the way, running for a while and then resting for a while, which is why we came back so late."
Old Xu chuckled, "No matter how spoiled the girls in my Xu family are, it's fine."
"Grandpa, just spoil her."
Xu Yao turned to Xu Jingzhi and playfully stuck out her tongue, "Lelouch."
The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, were chatting together, creating a truly harmonious scene. Nanzhi watched their interaction like an observer.
It had only been two days since she left home, and Nanzhi was already missing the love her parents had given her at home.
While I was lost in thought, I heard Old Xu and Xu Jingzhi say:
"Zhizhi said she wants to go to Yuecheng for a visit. After dinner, why don't you two take her out to play?"
Xu Jingzhi's smile vanished. He glanced at Nan Zhi indifferently and said without rebuttal, "I'm fine with anything."
Xu Yao was actually quite excited. "Sure, I've got nothing to do anyway, and I was thinking of buying some things. Brother, you'll pay, right?"
Xu Jingzhi never refused Xu Yao's requests. He chuckled, "All you know is how to squander your brother's money."
Nan Zhi smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was cursing. She really just wanted to go shopping alone. Watching the interaction between the brother and sister made her teeth ache.
"Grandpa, where's Mr. Shen? Why can't we find him?"
