Chapter 27 Reunion with the Mysterious Man
A middle-aged man and a young woman were standing in front of the counter not far away. She recognized the middle-aged man as Xie Wanli at a glance, and as for the woman in his arms, she could guess her identity with her toes.
In Xie Nanzhi's memory, Xie Wanli always gave outsiders the impression of being a good husband who loved his wife and cared for his family.
The scene before her eyes completely overturned Xie Nanzhi's worldview.
The good husband and father she thought he was was nothing more than a facade created by a cheating scumbag.
How ironic.
Xie Nanzhi stopped and casually said, "Hello, I'd like to go to the restroom first."
The sales assistant enthusiastically guided us, "Okay, ma'am, just walk to the end on your right and turn left."
Xie Nanzhi immediately walked to the right, but instead of going to the restroom, she found a secluded corner and took out her phone, pointing it at Xie Wanli and the young woman.
The woman pleaded sweetly with Xie Wanli, "Darling, I want that top-grade bird's nest, will you buy it for me?"
Xie Wanli didn't understand these supplements. To him, they were all a waste of money. "A box of top-grade bird's nest is worth a designer handbag. Are you sure you want to buy bird's nest but not a handbag?"
The woman was unwilling and let go of his hand, feeling extremely aggrieved. "Do you think I want to eat it, or does the baby in my belly want to eat it? If you don't want to buy it, fine, but it's your son who will suffer anyway."
When the woman threw a tantrum, Xie Wanli immediately softened, "Oh, it was just a joke, why are you angry? My little darling, I'll buy you whatever you like, okay? Don't be angry."
Xie Wanli arrogantly told the sales assistant, "Wrap up all the top-grade bird's nest in your store, we want it all."
Hearing Xie Wanli say this, the woman was happy. "That's more like it. You've already said that you'd give me anything except the title of Mrs. Xie. You'd pluck the moon from the sky for me if I wanted it."
Xie Wanli is no longer a nouveau riche from land expropriation; he is a person of status and position in the upper class, and a stable family is his greatest asset.
Therefore, he would not easily divorce Luo Meijuan, but Xie Wanli wanted a son to carry on the family line, so he could only keep a young woman outside.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with him; it was just something every man wanted to do, and he happened to be the one who had the ability to do it.
After appeasing the woman, Xie Wanli left the store with her, completely satisfied.
Afterwards, Xie Nanzhi walked out from the corner and watched Xie Wanli and the woman get into the car and leave before putting her phone back into her bag.
At this moment, the sales assistant brought her back to reality, "Ma'am, would you like me to introduce you to something else?"
Xie Nanzhi nodded. "Yes, thank you."
It took more than ten minutes to arrive, but thankfully Xie Nanzhi was not late.
Guo Xun stood outside the hotel, eagerly awaiting Xie Nanzhi's arrival. As soon as Xie Nanzhi got out of the car, he rushed forward to greet her, "Ancestor, you've finally arrived! I thought you'd been abducted by aliens!"
Xie Nanzhi opened the trunk, handed the gift box to Guo Xun, and joked, "Yes, isn't this all for you? I just escaped back to Earth after battling aliens for three hundred rounds."
Guo Xun smiled and looked at the gift box he had received. "Junior Sister, you're too kind. This is too much of a burden for you."
Then, Xie Nanzhi casually stuffed the invoice into his pocket, a smile playing on her lips, "It's not a big expense, just remember to get reimbursed."
Guo Xun stood there dumbfounded, blinking his eyes, which were even clearer than those of a college student.
This scene made Xie Nanzhi laugh out loud. "Second Senior Brother, why aren't you laughing? Are you just naturally averse to laughter?"
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi grinned and strode ahead.
Frustrated, Guo Xun rolled his eyes dramatically and muttered, "Nan Zhi, please have some decency."
Xie Nanzhi had the most contact with Guo Xun, and among the five senior brothers, she was the closest to him. They were usually either hurting each other, or on their way to hurting each other.
They bickered even during the few minutes they went upstairs. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Guo Xun put Xie Nanzhi's hand in the crook of his arm.
Xie Nanzhi glanced at it. "Is it really necessary?"
Guo Xun said in a serious tone, "When you're acting, you have to go all the way. My mother's investigative abilities are comparable to Sherlock Holmes."
Xie Nanzhi took the opportunity to tease, "I really didn't realize that you didn't inherit any of your aunt's good genes. Maybe I should persuade your aunt to play a new account later."
Guo Xun pondered for a few seconds before reacting, then glared at Nan Zhi, "Nan Zhi, you wait, I'm not done with you yet."
The two chatted and joked as they entered the private room, while a man standing ten meters away stared intently in the direction they left.
Mu Lin looked at his second master's face, which was almost drooping to the ground, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "Second master, the man who went in with Miss Xie is named Guo Xun, and he is also Miss Xie's second senior brother."
Wei Chizheng remained silent, but his deep-set eyes held a hint of barely perceptible ferocity.
Having followed Wei Chi for so many years, Mu Lin could guess his thoughts with just a glance. He immediately said, "Second Master, I'll go and find out what Miss Xie is doing at the Royal Hotel."
Xie Nanzhi had already sat down, and Guo Xun proudly introduced her identity.
Originally, Guo's mother thought that Guo Xun had just found a woman to fool her, and she was prepared to give her a hard time. But when she saw Xie Nanzhi in person, she was delighted with everything about her.
Guo's mother's satisfaction was evident to the naked eye; she couldn't stop smiling. "Nanzhi, Auntie really likes you. I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a perfect daughter-in-law as you. I never expected that my good-for-nothing son, who seems to do nothing all the time, would have such good taste when it matters."
That tone of voice sounds so familiar.
Just like the second senior brother.
No wonder they're her biological children.
Xie Nanzhi tried her best not to let Guo Xun down, maintaining the demeanor of a well-bred lady. "Auntie, you are very nice too. You are approachable, gentle, and dignified, unlike other rich people who like to be condescending and are very difficult to get along with. Auntie, I like you too. I felt an instant connection with you the moment I met you. Even without Guo Xun, we would definitely have become best friends."
"puff."
Guo Xun spat out a mouthful of tea.
He immediately met Xie Nanzhi's gaze and gestured to her with his eyes: Junior sister, take it easy, how did you suddenly become best friends?
Xie Nanzhi understood immediately and quietly made an OK gesture.
Guo's mother had a completely different expression, looking extremely disgusted. "How disgusting are you? Nanzhi is still here. If you disgust my daughter-in-law and make her run away, I'll cut off your legs."
Just as Xie Nanzhi was shocked by Guo's mother's bold threat, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The sudden turn of events drew everyone's attention to the doorway, and Xie Nanzhi gasped when she saw the imposing man in a black suit.
She completely forgot to give the normal response she should have.
How could it be him?
Do you regret letting her go and want to settle the score with her?
Wei Chizheng's gaze did not linger on Xie Nanzhi for long, but instead walked to Guo's mother's side. "I heard from my assistant that I saw Madam Guo, so I thought I would come over and say hello. Madam Guo, I hope I haven't disturbed you."
Guo's mother adopted the manner of businesspeople exchanging pleasantries, a completely different attitude from her interactions with Xie Nanzhi, and politely said, "How could I be bothering you, Mr. Wei, you're too kind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chizheng suddenly turned around.
The next second, those deep eyes were fixed on Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
