Chapter 54 I'd rather die than remarry you
Xie Nanzhi frowned slightly, feeling a slight restraint on her wrist. She looked down and realized that Pei Jingchuan was holding her wrist.
Before he could speak, Xie Nanzhi forcefully broke free.
She looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with disgust. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands."
After several meetings, Xie Nanzhi's attitude towards him made Pei Jingchuan realize that getting her to forgive him was not an easy thing.
Even though she once loved him so much, her heart was broken.
Besides, there is also Shen Xu, who is eyeing the situation covetously and is the biggest threat to Pei Jingchuan.
Seeing her distant expression, Pei Jingchuan's dark eyes darkened slightly. "Nanzhi, I'm not dirty. I've never touched Xie Xiyan. Really, you have to believe me."
Xie Nanzhi is disgusting.
How could he say something like that?
Putting aside whether he actually slept with Xie Xiyan, it seems there was another one besides Xie Xiyan, Jian Yao.
Besides, does he really think this is the important thing?
Perhaps it was true in the past, but for Xie Nanzhi now, it has never been something she cares about.
What she cared about most was how to get him locked up in jail for life.
Xie Nanzhi gave a sarcastic smile, "Whether you've slept with Xie Xiyan or not is none of my business, it's none of your concern."
He blocked the car door, and Xie Nanzhi really didn't want to waste time with him, so she simply went to the roadside to hail a taxi.
She turned to leave, but Pei Jingchuan strode forward and said in a low, husky voice, "Nanzhi, why didn't you accept my friend request?"
Xie Nanzhi was utterly speechless.
A few days ago, Pei Jingchuan started sending her friend requests one after another, using more than a dozen different phone numbers, but Xie Nanzhi rejected them all.
Unexpectedly, he actually asked it to my face.
Xie Nanzhi said in a low voice, "I'm not your mother, I have no obligation to spoil you. Pei Jingchuan, get this straight, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Three months ago, Xie Nanzhi had Zhou Mubin handle her marriage with Pei Jingchuan. The evidence of his infidelity was conclusive, and the court granted the divorce.
Moreover, the identity of "Xie Nanzhi" has been cancelled, and she is now Nanzhi.
Neither Xie Nanzhi nor Nanzhi had anything to do with him.
Pei Jingchuan was taken aback, his brows furrowing. "It's okay now, but that doesn't mean it won't be okay in the future. One day, we will remarry."
Xie Nanzhi's gaze was slightly cold, and her red lips parted slightly, "I would rather die than remarry you."
Each word was like an invisible sword piercing his chest, causing Pei Jingchuan an excruciating pain that made him feel worse than dead. His already anxious mood became even more panicked.
"Nanzhi, I just want to be with you properly, why can't you forgive me?"
Xie Nanzhi's smile was sarcastic.
At that moment, an empty car stopped in front of Xie Nanzhi.
Pei Jingchuan tried to take her hand, but the next second someone grabbed his arm.
Xie Xiyan said gently, "Jingchuan, let's go back. Don't cause trouble for Nanzhi."
Meanwhile, Xie Nanzhi had already gotten into the car. Seeing Xie Xiyan's provocative gaze through the window, she just found it amusing.
When she was dating Shen Xu, Xie Xiyan had Shen Xu as her target. Later, when she fell in love with Pei Jingchuan, Xie Xiyan couldn't sit still and tried to seduce him again and again.
Now that she has returned to Hong Kong, does Xie Xiyan think that she still has feelings for Pei Jingchuan and is therefore still trying to win her over?
Xie Xiyan, is this all there is to your vision?
Xie Nanzhi averted her gaze, a mocking smile curving her thin lips.
Pei Jingchuan, standing by the roadside, watched Xie Nanzhi's receding figure until it disappeared from sight.
The desolation in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Xie Xiyan, who was holding his arm, said again, "It's understandable that Nanzhi hates me. No matter how she retaliates against me, I have nothing to say. This is what I... owe her."
Pei Jingchuan looked deeply at Xie Xiyan, a gaze completely different from his gaze towards Xie Nanzhi, rational and clear-headed.
After a long pause, he asked in return, "Is that really what you think?"
Now, Pei Jingchuan felt indebted to Xie Nanzhi, and Xie Xiyan, in order to please him, naturally had to go along with his wishes.
Xie Xiyan nodded. "Jingchuan, that's really what I think. I'm willing to do everything I can to make it up to Nanzhi."
After saying that, Pei Jingchuan withdrew his arm, coldly tossing out the words, "You do owe her," before turning and walking away.
Xie Xiyan gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness.
Xie Nanzhi, we'll see.
...
Xie Nanzhi was originally going back to the hotel, but she received a call from Zhou Mubin and went to his law firm instead.
The three of them were childhood friends, so close they were practically inseparable. Everyone at the law firm knew Xie Nanzhi.
When Xie Nanzhi arrived, Zhou Mubin was still busy. She sat in the lounge waiting for him, and Zhou Mubin's assistant poured a cup of coffee and brought it in.
"Thank you, no, I should call you Miss Nan now. Same as always, three parts sugar, three parts milk."
Cui Xiao has been with Zhou Mubin for many years, ever since the law firm was established. She gets along very well with Xie Nanzhi and they can be considered friends.
Xie Nanzhi picked up her coffee, took a sip, and smiled slightly. "Of all the coffees I've drunk, Xiaoxiao's is still the best."
Back then, Pei Jingchuan was picky, so Xie Nanzhi consulted Cui Xiao a lot about the ins and outs of finding a coffee that suited his taste.
Looking back now, she was so foolish to love Pei Jingchuan to the point of losing herself.
Cui Xiao sat down and joked, "Who told me to have such a bad life, with a boss who's picky about coffee?"
Zhou Mubin is fine as a friend, but if Xie Nanzhi were to work for him, she would probably have flipped the table long ago. He is extremely picky about work and certain habits, to the point that most people can't stand him.
Xie Nanzhi said, "Only you can tolerate his bad habits."
Cui Xiao smiled faintly and remained silent, seemingly enjoying the process.
Looking at Cui Xiao's carefree and unambitious demeanor, Xie Nanzhi felt sorry for her.
Over the years, Xie Nanzhi and Xi Bei had long seen through Cui Xiao's feelings for Zhou Mubin, but he was the only one who couldn't see it.
These are all secondary issues. Which of Zhou Mubin's girlfriends hasn't drunk Cui Xiaopao's coffee? Hasn't she received a gift from her?
He even had several girlfriends, which were won over by Cui Xiao.
Anyway, one of them is completely clueless and the other refuses to say a word, so there's no use in her and Xibei getting anxious.
The two chatted for a while before Zhou Mubin finished his work and rushed to the reception room after seeing off the guests.
Seeing this, Cui Xiao stood up and said, "You two chat first, I'll go get busy."
Xie Nanzhi waved goodbye to her, and Cui Xiao closed the door behind her. Then, Zhou Mubin moved closer to Xie Nanzhi, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat serious.
"Nanzhi, I have something to tell you, but you must promise me that you will stay calm."
Xie Nanzhi, "You're being so mysterious. Could it be that you have an illegitimate child outside?"
Even a joking tone couldn't put Zhou Mubin at ease. He took a deep breath and thought for a long time, "Nanzhi, I found out that Xie Xiyan took two samples to the paternity testing center a few days ago. One of the samples is yours, and the other sample..."
