Chapter 306 Pei Jingchuan is a madman
Wei Chizheng ruffled her hair, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's nothing. I'll tell you after Mom's surgery."
Xie Nanzhi looked at his face, which was very serious, and the unease in his eyes revealed his true state of mind.
However, he probably didn't want to distract her at this time, so he said he would talk to her after Wang Shufen's surgery.
Xie Nanzhi nodded, not pressing the issue further.
She didn't want to waste his efforts.
A few hours later, the moment the red "Operating" light on the operating room door went out, Xie Nanzhi felt her heart finally settle back into her chest.
She rushed to the attending physician who had just come out, her voice trembling, "Doctor, my mother needs surgery..."
"The surgery was very successful."
The attending physician removed his mask, a gentle smile in his eyes. "The kidney transplant surgery was very successful. Now, as long as we get through the postoperative observation period, the main focus will be on preventing rejection."
These words were like a ray of warm sunshine suddenly bursting into the corridor, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days.
Xie Nanzhi was unable to remain calm; her eyes reddened, and she choked up, unable to speak.
Wei Chizheng, who had been by her side the whole time, reached out and patted her back, offering her the greatest comfort in silence.
Two hours later, Wang Shufen was taken to the intensive care unit.
Through the glass, Xie Nanzhi saw that the person on the hospital bed was pale but breathing steadily, with an IV needle in the back of their hand, and the lines on the monitor were jumping regularly.
She gently pressed her face against the glass and whispered, "Mom, the surgery was a success. You should rest well. Once you're all better, I'll take you and the kids to the Maldives for a vacation and spend some quality time with you."
Xie Nanzhi felt guilty towards Wang Shufen.
She resented Wang Shufen for many, many years, hating her for changing her and Xie Xiyan's lives.
It was only later that we learned that Wang Shufen was guilty, but she was the one whose sins were the least serious.
In recent years, while she has been busy developing her company, Wang Shufen has been taking care of all the big and small matters at home, as well as the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of her two children.
She showed little concern for Wang Shufen, and never even asked if she was tired, which is why Wang Shufen was ill for so long before she found out.
She was neither a good daughter nor a good mother.
Therefore, Xie Nanzhi plans to spend half of her time with Wang Shufen and the children.
Her early life was too bitter, and Xie Nanzhi hoped that she would live a comfortable life in her later years.
The next day, Xie Nanzhi had the servants prepare light soups in advance every day, and Wang Shufen also woke up.
Without the torment of illness, Wang Shufen was noticeably more energetic; however, her body was still very weak, though her complexion had improved considerably.
Wang Shufen held her hand and said softly, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Nanzhi. You've worked so hard."
As she spoke, Wang Shufen's eyes reddened, and she turned her head away to secretly wipe away her tears.
Seeing this, Xie Nanzhi's voice choked up, "It's not hard at all. Compared to what you've done for me, what is this?"
She reached out and wiped away Wang Shufen's tears, her tone light, "Mom, the surgery was a success. You'll definitely live to be a hundred."
Wang Shufen laughed, "If I live to be a hundred, I'll be an old monster."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "That's the most beautiful old monster."
Wang Shufen smiled, her eyes crinkling with a gentle smile. The forsythia outside the window was in full bloom, and the air was filled with the scent of spring.
Wang Shufen's body was still too weak, and the doctor told her to rest more and not to overexert herself.
So, after chatting for a few minutes, Xie Nanzhi left the intensive care unit.
Wei Chizheng was guarding outside. When he saw her come out, he instinctively went forward to greet her and draped a coat over her shoulders.
The weather is still chilly after a few days of warm weather, especially after the rain last night, which has caused the temperature to drop today.
Xie Nanzhi pulled her coat tighter around herself, and Wei Chi asked, "Mom seems to be doing well."
Xie Nanzhi nodded, then unconsciously looked at the glass window of the intensive care unit again. "Fortunately, it's all over now, and everything will be alright."
Wei Chizheng liked to hold her hand and hold her fingers together. He whispered, "Nanzhi, I need to go to the capital. Can you manage by yourself?"
So suddenly?
Xie Nanzhi looked at him in astonishment.
He suddenly remembered that Jian Yao had called him yesterday when Wang Shufen was having surgery.
When she asked if something had happened, he said he would tell her after the surgery was completed.
Without thinking, Xie Nanzhi said, "Because of Jian Yao's phone call."
Wei Chizheng didn't intend to hide it from her. He nodded, "Jian Yao told me that Wei Huaibo was under house arrest. Later, I had Mu Lin investigate, and it was roughly the same as what Jian Yao said. However, Mu Lin also found out some other things. Wei Huaibo's health seems to be very poor..."
Xie Nanzhi was somewhat surprised, "Wei Huaibo is Pei Jingchuan's biological grandfather, how dare he do this?"
Wei Chizheng's face was grim, his eyes icy cold. "Pei Jingchuan is a madman. Family ties are worthless in his eyes."
Yes, Pei Jingchuan was never a good person.
What he did was illegal and unacceptable, let alone to a grandfather who had no feelings for him.
Xie Nanzhi said, "I'll go with you."
Wei Chizheng said, "No need. You stay and take care of Mom. She just had surgery and her condition is still unstable. We need you here."
Xie Nanzhi, “But…”
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chizheng placed his hands on her shoulders, looked down and met her gaze, "There aren't so many 'buts,' Nanzhi, you don't need to worry about me, besides, there's Tietou and Mulin."
It would be a lie to say I'm not worried. Pei Jingchuan is a vicious madman who's capable of anything.
However, judging from Wei Chizheng's attitude, he could not agree to anything she said.
Xie Nanzhi then stopped trying to win him over for the time being.
"Okay, contact me immediately if anything happens."
That afternoon, Wei Chizheng flew to Beijing. Without his company, Xie Nanzhi felt empty and couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
She decided not to sleep at all. She put on a coat and stood on the terrace to enjoy the breeze. The twinkling stars were the most beautiful embellishment to the dark night.
She missed him.
I really, really want to.
A gentle breeze rustled through Xie Nanzhi's thin cardigan draped over her shoulders, causing her hair to flutter lightly.
She stood by the railing, her gaze fixed on the scattered, twinkling lights of the city in the distance.
A moment later, Xie Nanzhi took out her phone and opened the chat window with Wei Chizheng.
After thinking about it, I decided against it.
Xie Nanzhi was about to delete the line she had just typed when she accidentally pressed the send button. Just then, her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a video call from Wei Chizheng. She quickly pressed the answer button, and his familiar face immediately appeared on the screen. The background was their home in Beijing, and there were also the paper-cut window decorations that she had personally pasted the day before New Year's Eve in the background.
His voice came through the receiver, tinged with the weariness of his journey, yet still gentle, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xie Nanzhi made up a random excuse, "I just went to the restroom."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chi lowered his voice and said, "You're lying, you were clearly enjoying the breeze on the terrace."
