Chapter 203 Head-on Confrontation
Mu Lin's vision went black. "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of my sister-in-law, decisive and ruthless."
However, on the other hand, he and Tie Tou saw clearly how Xie Nanzhi had gotten through these three years; she had also narrowly escaped death during childbirth.
If Wei Chizheng really wronged Xie Nanzhi, Mu Lin felt sorry for her.
Mu Lin stated, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. No matter what happens, I will definitely stand by your side. Now, the first thing to figure out is what exactly happened three years ago."
Mu Lin only found information about Steven's deeds, but he could not verify what happened after Wei Chizheng fell off the cliff.
Just then, a message popped up on the screen.
Xie Nanzhi smiled. "Isn't the truth being delivered right to our doorstep?"
Mu Lin: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Xie Nanzhi: "Mu Jiaojiao messaged me and asked me to meet her tomorrow."
Mu Lin said, "Sister-in-law, take it easy, don't cause a death."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "Don't worry, leave her a breath. We can't let Wei Chizheng come here and immediately collect his fiancée's corpse."
Mu Lin felt a chill run down his spine as he listened.
It seems like my sister-in-law wants to collect the Second Master's body.
Wow, that's scary.
The next morning, Mu Jiaojiao appeared at the coffee shop she had agreed to meet, while Xie Nanzhi was a full hour late.
She sat down, and Mu Jiaojiao's emotions started to get the better of her. "I've been waiting for you for an hour."
Xie Nanzhi crossed her arms and said sarcastically and casually, "Yeah, I did it on purpose."
Mu Jiaojiao hadn't slept a wink last night and was already on the verge of collapse. Xie Nanzhi's public provocation made her furious. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting, "Xie Nanzhi, don't go too far!"
Mu Jiaojiao was already agitated, but she simply and calmly ran her fingers along the side of the cup, gently stroking it twice with her fingertips. When she looked up, there was not a ripple in her eyes.
She raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Excessive? Mu Jiaojiao, shouldn't you be the one who's excessive?"
Although his voice was as calm as a still lake, the invisible pressure emanating from it sent chills down one's spine.
Mu Jiaojiao felt guilty, but she had come today to make Xie Nanzhi give up, and she had already prepared her explanation.
Mu Jiaojiao glared at Xie Nanzhi, composed herself, and said coldly, "Xie Nanzhi, I know what you're thinking, but I have to tell you, Steven is not Wei Chizheng. Wei Chizheng died three years ago, which is a fact known to everyone."
Xie Nanzhi replied casually, "Oh, so?"
Mu Jiaojiao retorted, "So please stop bothering my fiancé. We're getting married soon. Xie Nanzhi, you wouldn't stoop to being a mistress, would you? Even if you don't care about yourself, you should at least set a good example for your two children."
Xie Nanzhi didn't say anything, she just kept smiling.
Mu Jiaojiao was annoyed by her laughter and felt extremely flustered. "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Nanzhi snorted, "Of course I'm laughing at your stupidity, Mu Jiaojiao. Do you think it's difficult for me to confirm whether he is Wei Chizheng? I thought you would come up with some excellent excuse, but it seems I overestimated you."
Mu Jiaojiao's face turned extremely ugly after being mocked.
She stared intently at Xie Nanzhi. "No matter who he is, he is my fiancé now. I have been by his side for the past three years. We live together and sleep in each other's arms every night. Soon, we will get married, and I will be his rightful wife. Xie Nanzhi, let bygones be bygones. You have gained so much wealth and fame. What more could you want?"
Xie Nanzhi's smile became even more sarcastic. "Mu Jiaojiao, you really have no shame. You can actually make this kind of robber's logic sound so respectable. You're really something."
Xie Nanzhi clapped for her. After a while, she put down her crossed legs, leaned forward, and said with a half-smile, "He is my husband, the father of my child, and he is mine. Yet you say I am ungrateful in just a few words?"
Mu Jiaojiao clenched her fists and glared at her, "Your husband is Wei Chizheng, he's just Steven, my Steven."
Xie Nanzhi: "Ha, self-deception."
Mu Jiaojiao, "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Nanzhi had already slapped her across the face.
Xie Nanzhi looked down at Mu Jiaojiao, who was stunned by the beating and stared blankly at her.
Xie Nanzhi, with one hand on the armrest of her chair, was bent over, her smile completely gone. "What exactly happened three years ago?"
This is Xie Nanzhi's real purpose in keeping the appointment today.
Instead of listening to her useless nonsense.
In just three years, this woman's aura seemed to have grown even stronger, and that oppressive feeling made Mu Jiaojiao feel intimidated.
“I told you, he isn’t…”
The next second, Xie Nanzhi grabbed her chin and her voice deepened, "I just want to know if he will be alright, and whether he can live a peaceful and smooth life for the rest of his days."
Just as he had hoped, he wished her peace and well-being; wasn't this also Xie Nanzhi's expectation of Wei Chizheng?
A look of shock crossed Mu Jiaojiao's eyes. After a few seconds, she said in a deep voice, "In the past, he didn't have a strange illness, but was cursed. Now the curse has been cured, and his life is no longer in danger. But Xie Nanzhi, everything between you is in the past. Now he is just Steven. He doesn't remember you, he only knows that I am his fiancée. He likes his life now. If you really care about him, please don't disturb his peaceful life now, and let him be."
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Xie Nanzhi straightened up.
Then, without saying a word, she picked up her bag and walked straight out.
Mu Jiaojiao was anxious and hurriedly chased after him, "Xie Nanzhi, you have everything, so don't bother him anymore. Wouldn't it be better to let him live his own life?"
The woman in ten-centimeter heels stopped in her tracks. Xie Nanzhi looked at her with disdain. "Are you trying to morally blackmail me? Too bad, that trick won't work on me. Besides, why should I give up my man to you?"
"Xie Nanzhi..."
Mu Jiaojiao was furious, but Xie Nanzhi had already walked far away.
Xie Nanzhi got into the sports car.
I'm in an exceptionally good mood.
The reason was simple: Wei Chi was safe and sound and would no longer be in danger of losing his life.
Her eyes were full of smiles, and then she dialed Wei Chizheng's number.
Wei Chizheng answered quickly, "Miss Nan."
Xie Nanzhi said softly, "Mr. Steven, I would like to meet with you."
Wei Chizheng replied, "Sure, I happen to have something to discuss with you. How about the restaurant from last time?"
Xie Nanzhi: "Of course, see you there."
An hour later, Xie Nanzhi, who had been waiting outside the restaurant, saw Wei Chizheng, who looked travel-worn. The moment he came into her view, her eyes lit up.
Seeing him approach, Xie Nanzhi suddenly tripped over something, twisted her foot, and fell headlong into Wei Chizheng's arms.
