Chapter 18 A Fierce Fight
In the brief moment of distraction, Zhou Mubin punched him repeatedly, venting his anger.
"Pei Jingchuan, Nanzhi is so kind, how could you bear to treat her like this? How could you be so heartless?"
"You beast, you're a complete bastard! She was so devoted to you, and you know how much she suffered to be able to have your child?"
"Xibei prescribed her interventional treatment medication and an eight-centimeter needle, which she had to inject into her abdomen every two days. Even though she knew the chances were slim, she was still willing to endure this pain for you."
"God help her, the child she finally conceived was killed by you, by you and Xie Xiyan."
"Pei Jingchuan, you are not worthy of Nanzhi's sincere feelings for you. You scum deserve to die."
Zhou Mubin vented his anger, throwing Pei Jingchuan aside as if he were trash.
"Someone, throw him out of here."
A few people rustled over, dragged Pei Jingchuan, and threw him out the door.
Pei Jingchuan didn't resist. He slumped in the car like a walking corpse, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
Until my eyes were sore and my breath was choked with sobs.
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan understood.
Why did he feel that Xie Nanzhi had changed? Why did the way she looked at him make him uneasy?
It turned out that she knew the truth about the car accident three years ago.
It turns out that when she asked him at the hospital that day if they would ever get a divorce, she was actually planning to leave.
It turns out that getting pregnant with this child was so difficult.
His sharply defined features, which had always made him exceptionally handsome, now made him look as disheveled as an abandoned stray dog.
After a long while, Pei Jingchuan took out a cigarette and barely lit it. He took a deep drag, his bruised cheeks sunken, and his eyes were blurry.
...
When Xie Nanzhi arrived in M country, Xi Bei personally picked her up at the airport.
Xibei had prepared an apartment for her in advance. The space wasn't very big, less than 100 square meters, but it was located next to the hospital where she was going to have her corneal transplant surgery, which would also make it convenient for future check-ups.
After the two landed, Xibei took her to do preoperative examinations and a full physical examination.
Fortunately, there are no major health problems.
But Xibei was powerless to heal the wounds in his heart.
The person who was usually so talkative suddenly became quiet, which made Xie Nanzhi feel uneasy. "What's wrong? You haven't said anything. Are you unhappy that I'm here?"
As soon as Xibei opened her mouth, her throat tightened. "How could that be? Of course I'm happy that you came, but it hurts me to speak, and when it hurts, I can't help but want to cry."
As she spoke, Xibei's eyes reddened.
Xie Nanzhi didn't want Xibei to worry about her, so she took her hand and smiled slightly, "Why are you crying? I've escaped an unhappy marriage and can start a new life. You should be happy for me. Smile, Xibei looks best when she smiles."
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she did, Xibei cried even harder, and at the same time cursed Pei Jingchuan and Xie Xiyan.
After she finished venting, she was in a much better mood.
The two stayed together that night and talked a lot about their childhood. For a moment, Xie Nanzhi seemed to have truly forgotten all the hurt and returned to that carefree childhood.
We were chatting for a while, and somehow I fell asleep.
Xibei was worried that Xie Nanzhi would be bored, so she asked someone to buy her a guide dog. Firstly, the dog could guide her before the surgery, and secondly, it could provide her with emotional support.
Before she knew it, the day of the corneal transplant surgery arrived. Xibei told her that the donor was a sixteen-year-old girl whose life had been taken by congenital heart disease.
Xie Nanzhi lamented the cruelty of fate and felt sorry for the young life lost.
At the same time, it strengthened her resolve to live on.
In this world, everything is trivial except for life and death.
After a surgery that lasted several hours, when Xie Nanzhi was wheeled out of the operating room, the attending physician told Xibei, "The surgery was a great success."
Xibei was so moved that she cried and hugged Xie Nanzhi tightly.
In the video, Zhou Mubin heard Xibei crying loudly and thought the surgery had failed, so he was extremely anxious.
"Xibei, why are you crying? How did the surgery go? Tell me, ma'am, can you stop crying for a bit?"
Xibei continued to wail and scream, "Waaah, shut up! Don't talk to me, you nobody!"
Xi Bei stayed outside the operating room and kept in video call with Zhou Mubin. The noise was too loud, and he couldn't hear what the doctor was saying.
Anyway, she burst into tears as soon as the doctor said one sentence.
Oh no, has it really failed?
Zhou Mubin, thousands of miles away, was jumping around anxiously, saying, "Hey, sister, can't you speak like a human being?"
Xibei wiped away her tears, "Waaah, Lao Zhou, our Nanzhi is going to see the light of day again! I'm so excited, I can't stop crying."
To see the light of day again?
Something sounds off.
Has this child's native language deteriorated from staying abroad for so long?
Never mind that, the important thing is that the surgery was successful.
Zhou Mubin's mood took a sharp turn for the better. "Go cool off somewhere else. I want to talk to Nanzhi."
Xie Nanzhi was still a little weak after the anesthesia wore off. Her eyes were covered with gauze, but the corners of her mouth were turned up. "Old Zhou, don't worry, I'm fine."
Hearing Xie Nanzhi's voice, Zhou Mubin finally felt at ease.
As they entered the ward, Zhou Mubin and Xibei kept talking, while Xie Nanzhi maintained a smile throughout, a genuine expression of happiness.
At the end of the chat, Zhou Mubin briefly described the situation in Gangcheng.
Ever since she left, Pei Jingchuan has been searching for her all over the world, as if he were possessed.
Following Xie Nanzhi's instructions before leaving, Zhou Mubin compiled and posted online all the provocative voice messages Xie Xiyan sent him, as well as the ambiguous videos he filmed at Xie's house.
Suddenly, this mysterious Hong Kong upstart and Xie Xiyan were thrust into the spotlight. Zhou Mubin enlisted the media to fuel the fire, and their images as a scumbag and a despicable woman became deeply ingrained in the public consciousness.
Zhou Mubin felt relieved when he talked about it. "I also heard that Shen Xu knew about Xie Xiyan and Pei Jingchuan's ambiguous relationship and they're currently going through a divorce. This is what they call karma."
Leaving the port city means Xie Nanzhi is cutting ties with the past. Now she is starting anew, believing that "everyone in this world has to pay for their mistakes."
Once she received news from the private investigator, she sent them all inside.
This is what they owe her.
Zhou Mubin and Xibei looked at each other in the video. Xibei muttered, "Alright, Nanzhi needs to rest. Let's leave it at that for now and talk again another day."
The video call ended, and Xibei slowly leaned closer. "Nanzhi, have you really let go of what happened in Gangcheng?"
Xie Nanzhi gave her a reassuring smile, "He's just an ex-husband. We've already moved on. What's there to hold onto?"
Hearing this relieved tone, Xibei breathed a sigh of relief.
The surgery was successful, and Xie Nanzhi could already faintly sense light during the day.
The doctor said that at this rate of recovery, the bandages could be removed soon, which was the best news Xie Nanzhi had received recently.
Meanwhile, in the port city, the scene was quite different.
