Chapter 19 Pei Jingchuan, He Regrets It
Under the starry night sky, the man stood on the top floor of a skyscraper, overlooking the night view of the entire port city. He subconsciously touched the red ribbon on his wrist, and his cold, hard facial features softened instantly.
The subordinate stood two meters away. "Second Master, Miss Xie's surgery went very smoothly. I also gave the family that donated the cornea a large sum of money as you instructed. In addition, I have already placed someone by Pei Jingchuan's side, so it will be impossible for him to find Miss Xie."
The man covered the red ribbon with his sleeve, turned around, and said, "I'm leaving the port city tomorrow."
The subordinate paused, then asked, "Don't we need to continue verifying his identity?"
The man suddenly looked at him, his sinister gaze filled with a chilling aura, exuding an imposing presence without anger. "Do you know how to respond to the old man?"
The subordinate trembled at his imposing aura and immediately lowered his head, saying, "Yes, Second Master."
Port City.
Since Xie Nanzhi left, Pei Jingchuan has locked himself in the Cloud Top Villa, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and living a muddled life.
Only in this way could he numb himself and try to imagine that Xie Nanzhi had not left and that his child was still there.
Pei Jingchuan slumped to the floor, the entire room reeking of alcohol. The housekeeper dared not disturb him, fearing he might fly into a rage and harm her.
However, Xie Xiyan's attitude was not so negative. In recent days, the Xie family had tried every means to suppress this public opinion, but to no avail.
The Shen family doesn't care about her, and Shen Xu wants to divorce her. Xie Xiyan can't just sit and wait for her to die. She still has one last hope, which is Pei Jingchuan.
Pei Jingchuan loves her so much that he will help her no matter the cost.
So Xie Xiyan drove to the Cloud Top Villa.
She went straight upstairs and pushed open the door to the master bedroom. As soon as she entered, the strong smell of alcohol almost made her vomit.
Xie Xiyan frowned and walked inside, her face full of disgust and loathing. Finally, she found Pei Jingchuan in a corner near the window.
His chin was covered in stubble, his face was haggard, and he smelled terrible; he looked like a homeless person.
If it weren't for needing Pei Jingchuan's help, Xie Xiyan wouldn't have bothered to even glance at him.
Xie Xiyan slowly squatted down, feigning gentleness, "Jingchuan, is it worth torturing yourself like this for a woman who doesn't love you? You need to pull yourself together; the company and I both need you."
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan threw down the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Xie Xiyan.
Xie Xiyan was startled. "Jingchuan, why are you looking at me like that? I'm scared."
Cold and sharp, it also carried a murderous intent.
Xie Xiyan subconsciously took a step back.
Pei Jingchuan stared intently at her, his bloodshot eyes chillingly cold. "You're right. It's not worth torturing yourself for a woman who doesn't love me."
Xie Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief. He was still quite sensible, which put her at ease. It seemed that Pei Jingchuan could still be used for her purposes as before.
Xie Xiyan smiled gently and slowly approached him. Just as she was about to fall into his arms, her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly.
"Ouch, Jingchuan, you're hurting me."
Pei Jingchuan fiercely lifted her up, his face sinister as he said, "I've been chasing after you for so many years, clearing all obstacles for you, but I've lost my wife and caused the death of my unborn child. Xie Xiyan, it's all because of you."
Xie Xiyan then realized that the unworthy person he was talking about was not Xie Nanzhi, but herself.
Xie Xiyan was terrified; Pei Jingchuan had never been so ruthless towards her before.
“Jingchuan, calm down. It's just a child. If Xie Nanzhi can give birth, then other women can too. You…”
Before Xie Xiyan could finish speaking, Pei Jingchuan grabbed her neck tightly, his low growl filled with anger, "Just a child? Xie Xiyan, that's my own flesh and blood, the child I've longed for for so many years."
"Why did you say those things to Nanzhi? Why did you provoke her? If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have abandoned me. If it weren't for you, my child wouldn't have turned into a pool of blood."
"It's all your fault, it's all because of you, Xie Xiyan, it's all your fault."
Pei Jingchuan lost his mind; at this moment, he truly wanted to strangle Xie Xiyan.
Fortunately, the aunt who heard the noise came over and saw what was happening, and stepped forward to stop Pei Jingchuan from causing a tragedy.
Xie Xiyan escaped and hurriedly ran to a safe distance, coughing violently.
After easing up for a while, she dropped the pretense and said with a mocking expression, "Pei Jingchuan, you're really funny. You were the one who removed Xie Nanzhi's corneas, and you were the one who lied to her. You followed me around like a lapdog wagging your tail, and you did it willingly."
"Let me tell you, Xie Nanzhi leaving you is your own fault. I'm not the one who killed your child, you are. Don't try to pin the blame on me, I won't take the blame for this."
Xie Xiyan was furious. She had originally wanted Pei Jingchuan to suppress the public opinion, but she never expected him to pin all the blame on her.
Xie Xiyan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The empty room was now empty except for Pei Jingchuan. His heart ached, and even alcohol couldn't numb his senses. Looking at everything in the room, he saw traces of Xie Nanzhi everywhere. Whether his eyes were open or closed, his mind was filled with her charming image.
His heart was breaking.
He missed her so much, so very much.
Finally, Pei Jingchuan's gaze fell on the glassware not far away. He hurriedly crawled over and hugged the glassware tightly to his chest, as if it were a precious treasure.
This is his child, his and Xie Nanzhi's child, the only thing she left him.
Pei Jingchuan broke down in tears.
He had always thought Xie Nanzhi was just a tool, but it wasn't until she left that he realized how important she was to him.
After three years of devoted companionship, he had long since fallen in love with her.
She was such a wonderful person, as wonderful as a dream, but he didn't know how to cherish her and disappointed her.
Pei Jingchuan had thought more than once about the pain she must have felt when she found out that the marriage was a carefully orchestrated deception.
How did she manage to keep quiet when she saw his ambiguous relationship with Xie Xiyan?
When she learned that he had abandoned her on her birthday to be with another woman, she was utterly heartbroken.
Every step was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
He deserves to die.
Yes, he should die.
...
Three months later.
Sitting in her black sports car, Xie Nanzhi looked at the trending topics that had dominated the domestic search rankings for three days and couldn't help but smile.
Guo Xun, who was driving, saw this through the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "Junior Sister, what are you laughing at? Tell me so I can have a laugh too."
Guo Xun was Mosier's apprentice, ranking second among them, while Xie Nanzhi was his sixth junior sister, and also the only junior sister.
Xie Nanzhi was exceptionally talented in painting, and Mosier doted on her. Her five senior brothers also cherished her like the apple of their eyes.
These three months made up for Xie Nanzhi's long-standing lack of family affection and also made her understand what true favoritism is.
Now, Xie Nanzhi has regained her sight and is radiant. She chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just that seeing news about old friends gives me a feeling of being in another world."
On the trending topics, Pei Jingchuan, who attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills three months ago, suffered brain damage and became a vegetable. He just woke up a couple of days ago. However, his company has been on a downward spiral since it was caught in a public opinion storm, and according to reports, it is now on the verge of bankruptcy.
Xie Nanzhi thought that seeing news about Pei Jingchuan again would move her, but in fact, she was completely unmoved at the moment.
Guo Xun added, "By the way, junior sister, I'll be going back to China with you next week."
Xie Nanzhi was puzzled and was about to voice her question when suddenly the brakes came on, startling her into a cold sweat.
What happened?
Xie Nanzhi snapped out of her daze and looked up, only to hear Guo Xun curse, "Shit!"
A red sports car drove across the crosswalk in front of them. If Guo Xun hadn't braked in time, they would have crashed into it.
Guo Xun was furious, his face turning ashen with rage. "This is courting death!"
Xie Nanzhi agreed, saying, "It really is courting death."
Hearing this, Guo Xun stared at the rearview mirror and smiled smugly, "To be recognized by my junior sister, I'll make those four scoundrels furious. I'll send them messages one by one later and brag about it."
Is it really necessary?
That's quite true.
Xie Nanzhi expressed her helplessness.
A little while later, Guo Xun parked his car outside the best art gallery in the United States.
After saying goodbye to him, Xie Nanzhi walked towards the gallery.
As they approached the entrance, they inadvertently spotted a red sports car in the parking lot. The license plate of this car was the same one that had nearly caused them an accident before.
Xie Nanzhi frowned and stepped inside.
The moment she stepped inside, Xie Nanzhi paused.
She saw a long-lost friend.
