"So what my cousin said at the beach about being afraid of affecting Yao Yao's reputation was completely false. Your brother is a celebrity, so this incident will probably have a bigger impact on him if it gets out."
Nan Zhi smiled: "Cousin, of course I want to protect Nan Li, but I am also worried about my cousin. People's words are the most unpredictable. What was just an accidental touch may become a big deal in other people's mouths. You must understand this better than I do."
Xu Jingzhi's expression softened slightly. Nan Zhi was indeed right. "So you deliberately drove to the Xu family's house, didn't you? This time it must be for your brother, right?"
Nan Zhi shrugged indifferently, "I don't deny that."
Knowing that Nanli was his younger brother, given Old Xu's personality, he certainly wouldn't continue to make things difficult for him.
Xu Jingzhi was angry, but he knew that continuing to talk would not lead to anything.
Xu Yao felt like she had been struck by lightning; she never expected things to turn out this way.
She glanced at her grandfather, then at her brother, knowing they would no longer stand up for her.
So she bit her lip, glared angrily at Nan Li, turned around, and ran crying to her room.
Nanzhi spoke to Old Xu:
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry. Nanli was being inconsiderate. He must have gone to the beach to look for me, otherwise he wouldn't have bumped into my cousin."
Then, Nanzhi patted Nanli on the head and said, "Apologize quickly."
At this moment, Nan Li was completely obedient to Nan Zhi, so he obediently apologized to Old Master Xu and Xu Jingzhi:
"I acted impulsively just now. I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention to Miss Xu at the beach. I'm very sorry and hope you can forgive me."
Xu Jingzhi turned and left. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would lose control of his temper.
Old Xu did not stop his grandson from leaving; he nodded with a smile, the meaning of which was ambiguous.
"Your sister was here this time, so you'd better be careful in the future. After all, some people might not be as easy to talk to as we are."
Nan Li nodded.
Nan Zhi smiled on the surface, but she was not happy inside.
"Grandpa, seeing how my cousin and cousin are, I can't stay any longer. I'll stay at a hotel in the city and come to see you when I have time."
"Zhizhi, what are you doing?" Old Xu asked with a hint of worry and anxiety.
"Don't take your cousin and the others to heart. You've come all this way and only stayed for two days. Why are you leaving already?"
Nan Zhi smiled slightly: "Grandpa, my younger brother also needs my care, so it will be more convenient for us to live together."
After Nanzhi's repeated insistence, Old Xu finally relented.
Finally, he insisted that the family driver take Nanzhi and the other person there, and Nanzhi agreed, since it was difficult to get a taxi there.
Nan Zhi went upstairs to get her luggage and left the Xu family with Nan Li.
Nan Li was still dizzy even after leaving the Xu family's gate.
When Nanli was little, he loved to stick close to his older sister, who was very good to him back then.
But later, his sister changed. Her eyes were filled with disgust when she looked at him. Nan Li was rejected many times, and after a long time, he finally understood that his sister really didn't like him anymore.
As Nanli grew up, seeing his sister's terrible attitude towards their mother, he argued with her time and time again, and their relationship deteriorated to the point where they were completely irreconcilable.
Originally, Nan Li had given up hope for Nan Zhi. But when he went home that time, although he said he didn't believe it, a glimmer of expectation crept into his heart.
He's too busy with work and can never find the time. His mother called him yesterday to tell him that his sister had arrived in Yuecheng.
Nanli's first reaction was actually happiness, even though his mother repeatedly told him to take good care of Nanzhi.
He said he was busy and didn't have time.
But I still took the day off and went to the city today, hoping to find an opportunity to send a message to Nanzhi.
Who knew he would run into her there? He had his driver follow her, and that's how things unfolded as they just happened.
He never expected that Nan Zhi would stand in his way and become an enemy of the Xu family.
What surprised him even more was that on the beach, fearing that bad rumors would spread, she took all the blame herself and silently considered his needs.
Thinking of this, Nanli's eyes stung with tears. For so many years, he had not felt the love from his sister.
Now, this care came so suddenly that his eyes couldn't help but sting with tears.
My sister's figure is clearly petite, but looking at how he fights for me, she seems so tall and imposing.
"Hey, you brat, what are you daydreaming about?" Nan Zhi slapped Nan Li on the head without hesitation.
Nan Li: "..." Sorry, he took back his previous thought.
"It's none of your business," she said irritably.
Seeing that Nan Zhi was about to hit him again, Nan Li opened the waiting room door and slipped inside first.
Nanzhi: "..."
The driver helped put the suitcase in the trunk, and after Nanzhi was seated, he drove into the city.
Soon, they stopped in front of the Junting Hotel, the best hotel in Yuecheng. The driver smiled and said to Nanzhi:
"This hotel belongs to the Xu family. The master said that Miss and your brother can stay here as they please."
After thanking her, Nanzhi led Nanli into the hotel.
When the two were checking in, the receptionist glanced at Nan Zhi's ID card and assigned them the best suite on the top floor. They were originally supposed to be assigned the presidential suite, but it was already booked, so they had to settle for the second best.
"Miss Nan, please feel free to ask if you need anything. We will do our best to help you."
Nan Zhi nodded. She had originally intended to pay herself, but it seemed that the hotel had also been contacted.
Arriving at the top-floor suite, the environment was indeed excellent.
"Now that you have a place to stay, I'll head back to the film set."
After struggling for a while, Nan Li finally managed to say this. Nan Zhi glared at him angrily, "Look at yourself in the mirror with that outfit on."
Finally, Nanli couldn't stand his own mess and went to take a shower.
While Nanzhi was taking a shower, she went to the hotel area and bought Nanli a set of casual clothes from head to toe, and also brought back sunglasses, a hat and a mask.
When Nanzhi returned, Nanli had already finished washing up and even put his dirty clothes back on.
Nanzhi: "..."
She tossed the two bags to Nan Li, who caught them instinctively, looking puzzled.
Nanzhi suppressed her anger: "Change into this new outfit."
Nanli gripped the edge of the bag, her nose stinging with tears again.
He went to a bedroom and took everything out of the bag.
It has everything, inside and out, and lacks nothing, even the innermost one.
Nan Li blushed as he changed into his new clothes. Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw that the size was just right and the clothes suited him very well.
He glanced at the sunglasses, hat, and mask that had been pulled out, and felt even more moved.
Nanzhi not only remembered his clothing size, but she was also so thoughtful that she even thought of such details.
In fact, Nan Zhi really didn't know Nan Li's measurements. It was mainly because of his profession as a designer that he could tell the other person's measurements at a glance.
Seeing that Nan Li hadn't come out, Nan Zhi impatiently went over and knocked on the door, "Nan Li, are you done yet?"
