Chapter 247 Sowing Discord
Xibei was completely enraged and reached out to slap her, but Xie Nanzhi reacted quickly and stopped her.
Xibei struggled against Xie Nanzhi's hand, "Nanzhi, let go of me, and see how I tear this green tea bitch's mouth apart today."
Jin Moli was terrified, like a frightened little rabbit. Just then, Zhou Mubin returned and witnessed the scene.
Jin Moli immediately hid in Zhou Mubin's arms, sobbing pitifully, "Lawyer Zhou."
To be honest, those two sounds she made were something she and Xibei could never learn in their entire lives. No wonder Zhou Mubin was so infatuated with her.
When Xibei lost her temper, she didn't care about anything else. "Old Zhou, there are so many women in the world, you must be blind to have fallen for someone like this. Let me tell you, if you don't break up with this green tea, we're done."
Zhou Mubin frowned, looking troubled.
On one side is the woman he likes, and on the other is his childhood friend of over twenty years; this is comparable to a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
Before Zhou Mubin could speak, the delicate Jin Moli began to assert her presence, "Xibei, I don't know if you have feelings for Zhou Lu that go beyond friendship, but Zhou Lu chose me. As a friend, shouldn't you support his decision and wish us well? Why are you making things difficult for me?"
Xibei flew into a rage, yelling, "What utter bullshit!"
Xie Nanzhi almost stopped her. "Alright, calm down."
Then, she handed Xibei over to Xie Yuanyang.
Xie Nanzhi stood there with a cold face, not moving. She suddenly looked at Jin Moli, her eyelashes seemingly covered with frost. Her voice was not loud, but every word was like ice.
“Miss Jin, if Xibei really has feelings for Lao Zhou, do you think you'd still have a chance with our relationship of over twenty years? Besides, you're just Lao Zhou's girlfriend now, and you might soon become one of his many ex-girlfriends. So, keep your sycophantic remarks and those underhanded thoughts to yourself, and save some face for the future.”
He didn't utter a single swear word, yet he made Jin Moli's face turn pale.
Xie Nanzhi met her slightly sharp gaze and laughed angrily, "Girls can be changed, but friends are for life. Miss Jin, you'd better think twice."
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi turned her gaze to Zhou Mubin, "Xibei was wronged, so I'll take her home first. We can meet up alone another day."
In just a few words, Xibei expressed her feelings and her attitude.
The implication of this is: don't bring your "Porridge Sister" (a nickname for a friend or colleague).
Xie Nanzhi embraced Xibei as they left the house, and Wei Chizheng tacitly picked up the two women's bags that were on the sofa and followed behind his wife.
They called Mulin in advance, and Mulin happened to be outside when they came out.
Seeing the trio in front of him, Mu Lin was a little confused.
Xibei, in particular, kept talking non-stop.
Mu Lin curiously stepped forward and cautiously asked Wei Chizheng, "Second Master, what's wrong with Xi Bei? Who has offended her again?"
Wei Chizheng teased, "Since you care so much, why don't you ask him yourself?"
Mu Lin blushed immediately. "Who cares about her?"
Even so, Mu Lin's gaze still unconsciously fell on Xi Bei.
Mu Lin wondered who had offended this girl, making her so angry that her face turned red.
Mu Lin was in charge of driving, while Wei Chizheng sat in the passenger seat with a hint of resentment, even though he and his wife usually sat together.
Xi Bei kept talking, and Xie Nanzhi listened the whole time.
Because of the route, Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chi rushed to get home, as the address of Xi Bei's villa was a bit further away.
The two got out of the car first. Wei Chizheng grabbed Xie Nanzhi's hand, and she glanced at him, asking, "What's wrong?"
Wei Chizheng readily admitted, "I was afraid you would run away."
Xie Nanzhi chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't run away."
On the bus, Xibei leaned against the window and cursed the whole way, and Mulin finally understood what she was saying.
He handed Xibei a bottle of water and casually said, "You've been cursing all the way, you must be thirsty."
Xibei glared at him. "What do you mean? Are you making fun of me?"
Mu Lin: "I don't have any. If you don't want to drink, then forget it."
As he spoke, Mu Lin took the water back.
To everyone's surprise, Xibei snatched the water away first, saying, "Why not drink it if it's free?"
Mu Lin watched in the rearview mirror as Xi Bei opened the bottle, gulped down a big mouthful, and a smile appeared on his lips.
To be honest, this woman's drunken antics are actually quite cute.
Mu Lin continued driving, offering a few words of advice like a friend, "Actually, Zhou Lu is a grown man. It's his business what kind of woman he wants to be with. You don't need to worry about it."
Xibei got excited and said, "So, according to you, I should just watch Lao Zhou jump into the fire?"
Mu Lin said, "The blisters on my feet are all from my own walking. I can't blame anyone else. Anyway, men are all shameless. They only learn their lesson after suffering a loss."
Xibei's eyes lit up. "You know what, you really have to admit, your analysis of men is quite accurate."
Mulin: "Right?"
Xibei stroked her chin, pondering, "But why am I so angry that this green tea bitch got her way?"
Mu Lin glanced at her and said, "My sister-in-law also said that Zhou Lu isn't stupid enough to be completely fooled by a scheming woman. Once he comes to his senses, he'll break up with her without any persuasion."
Xibei: "Really?"
Mu Lin said, "My sister-in-law is so smart, she must be right."
After a few seconds of thought, Xibei nodded silently.
I don't believe what others say, but Xie Nanzhi's words are definitely true.
Xi Bei: "That's right, we'll listen to Nan Zhi."
Twilight over Jiangnan.
After Xie Nanzhi and the others left, Xie Yuanyang also left with Yang Zhenzhen.
Zhou Mubin and Jin Moli were left alone. She kept crying, and he kept comforting her until Cui Xiao called.
“Zhou Lv, I have arrived in Twilight Jiangnan.”
Zhou Mubin: "Okay, let's go out now."
Cui Xiao: "Mm."
Cui Xiao had worked with Zhou Mubin for many years. Although they were not exactly superior and subordinate, they were more like working partners and couldn't live without each other.
A moment later, Zhou Mubin appeared with Jin Moli in his arms. Cui Xiao frowned slightly when she saw her, but the emotion was fleeting.
Cui Xiao got out of the car, opened the back door, and Zhou Mubin carefully helped Jin Moli sit inside.
Cui Xiao watched the whole thing, and only got into the car after the two of them were seated.
"Zhou Lu, where are we going?"
Zhou Mubin glanced at Cui Xiao, paused, and said, "You've forgotten where I live?"
His hand gripping the steering wheel tightened suddenly, and almost instinctively he looked at Jin Moli in the rearview mirror.
Zhou Mubin has had quite a few women, but even when he takes a woman to spend the night, it's always at a hotel or her place.
He took him to his private apartment; this was the first time.
Cui Xiao looked the woman up and down. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She was curled up in Zhou Mubin's arms. Her snow-white dress was spotless, which made her look ethereal.
Such a pitiful and charming sight, Cui Xiao thought, she probably could never learn it in her next life.
No wonder Zhou Lu was so special to this woman.
