Chapter 83 Don't get so close, I don't know you.
The wealthy woman spoke rudely, glanced at Wang Shufen with disdain, and shoved her aside before swaggering inside.
Wang Shufen was pale and kept her head down. She asked timidly, "Are you here to see Nanzhi?"
The wealthy woman walked into the living room from the entrance hall in her high heels, no longer even glancing at Wang Shufen. "Call Xie Nanzhi out here."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xie Nanzhi's voice rang out, "Madam Shen, did you need something from me?"
When Xie Nanzhi came out of the bedroom, she saw Liu Huiqin looking superior, her arrogance unchanged from three years ago.
Liu Huiqin looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes first showing surprise, then contempt. "Nanzhi, your aunt came here in person today because she has something she wants you to help her with."
As she spoke, Liu Huiqin took out a pre-prepared letter of understanding from her Hermès bag and walked up to Xie Nanzhi in her high heels. "This is a letter of understanding. Please sign it."
Xie Nanzhi picked it up and glanced at it briefly, thinking that Liu Huiqin had rushed over early in the morning for some reason, but it turned out to be for her precious son, Shen Xu.
Xie Nanzhi snorted and tore up the letter of understanding in front of Liu Huiqin. She raised an eyebrow, mimicking Liu Huiqin's contemptuous expression, and said, "Why should I forgive a man who almost raped me?"
With a flick of his wrist, white fragments scattered all over the ground.
Liu Huiqin's eyes widened suddenly; she couldn't believe that the woman who had shown her no respect was Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi used to be a pushover who could be easily manipulated; even if you slapped her, she might not retaliate.
How did it become like this?
Liu Huiqin broke down, her eyes wide. "Xie Nanzhi, you take the easy way out? Do you really think the Shen family is easy to bully? My son forced himself on you? What a joke! Everyone knows that my son dumped you three years ago. Even if you came to us, my son wouldn't even give you a second glance. Force yourself on you? Nobody would believe that."
Xie Nanzhi smiled.
Even though Liu Huiqin was wearing high heels, Xie Nanzhi was still half a head taller than her. "Since nobody believes me, why do you make me sign this bullshit letter of understanding?"
One sentence left Liu Huiqin speechless.
Liu Huiqin stood there, seething with anger, her eyes stinging. But then she remembered her lawyer's words: if she couldn't get the other party's forgiveness, she would definitely be sentenced. If they could resolve the matter privately and get the other party to admit that there was no violation of her will, then it wouldn't constitute attempted rape.
For her son's sake, Liu Huiqin forced herself to swallow her anger, forced a smile, and pretended to be friendly with Xie Nanzhi, "Nanzhi, Auntie was just too anxious. Did what I said make you uncomfortable?"
Liu Huiqin tried to get intimate with Xie Nanzhi, but Xie Nanzhi instinctively dodged away, saying, "Madam Chen, just say what you want to say. Don't get so close. I don't know you well."
Liu Huiqin's expression was strained; she forced a smile, which looked utterly unsightly.
“Nanzhi, I know you’ve been holding a grudge about Shenxu breaking off your engagement three years ago. How about this: if you sign this letter of understanding and explain things to the police, I’ll make Shenxu divorce Xie Xiyan as soon as he gets out safely, and then he can marry you. You two still have feelings for each other, so I’ll be doing you a favor.”
Xie Nanzhi stared at her, a cool smile curving her rosy lips.
She's been so arrogant for so long that she's forgotten even the most basic manner of asking for help.
Just as Xie Nanzhi was about to launch a tirade, Wang Shufen suddenly rushed over and blocked Xie Nanzhi's path, roaring, "Get out! Get out! Who wants to marry your son? A man who forces himself on a woman should go to jail. My daughter doesn't care."
Xie Nanzhi stared in astonishment at Wang Shufen, who suddenly ran over. Wang Shufen spread her arms wide, like an eagle protecting its young. Xie Nanzhi was stunned.
Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, Liu Huiqin was enraged.
It was already her limit to bow down to Xie Nanzhi, and now she was being humiliated by a woman who had served time in prison. Liu Huiqin suddenly raised her hand.
Just as the blow was about to hit Wang Shufen's face, Xie Nanzhi instantly gripped her wrist tightly.
Xie Nanzhi was furious. "Liu Huiqin, this is my home."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Liu Huiqin away.
Liu Huiqin's high heels were too high, causing her to lose her balance and stumble backward. As expected, she lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Liu Huiqin scrambled to her feet, unable to keep up the act any longer. "Xie Nanzhi, if you dare lay a hand on me, believe me, I'll make sure Shen Xu never speaks to you again."
Xie Nanzhi glared at Liu Huiqin, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Heh, so Shen Xu's inexplicable self-confidence comes from his roots. Liu Huiqin, is your son a hundred-dollar bill? He's rotten to the core, and I still like him? I'm not that cheap. You'd better keep your word and make sure your precious son never speaks to me again. Maybe after you're gone, when I remember you, I'll even offer some incense at your grave."
What does this little bitch mean? Does she not like her son anymore? How could that be?
Her son is so outstanding. If it weren't for that little bitch who made her blind back then, she would never have been able to get rid of him. How could she not like her son?
Liu Huiqin glared at her fiercely, "Xie Nanzhi, if you continue to be so stubborn, you can forget about ever entering the Shen family again."
Xie Nanzhi was so angry that she laughed. How come she hadn't noticed before that Liu Huiqin was so stupid?
Xie Nanzhi couldn't take it anymore, so she strode towards Liu Huiqin, grabbed her arm, and dragged her away forcefully.
Liu Huiqin struggled, "Xie Nanzhi, what are you doing? What do you want to do?"
Without saying a word, Xie Nanzhi opened the security door and threw Liu Huiqin out, saying, "What are you doing? Of course, I'm throwing out the trash."
After saying that, he closed the door behind him.
Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath; with no one in her way, the air felt fresher.
She walked back to the living room and looked up to see Wang Shufen standing there awkwardly and hesitantly, like a child who had made a mistake and dared not look at Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi paused, pursed her lips, and then continued walking forward.
She walked up to Wang Shufen, whose head was lowered even further. The moment Xie Nanzhi raised her hand, Wang Shufen instinctively shrank her neck.
Xie Nanzhi's hand paused in mid-air, and after half a second, she slowly tidied the strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead. "Your hair is messy."
"Oh." Wang Shufen tidied her hair haphazardly.
Then, Xie Nanzhi suddenly asked, "In these ten years, has anyone bullied you?"
Wang Shufen quickly said, "No, how could that be? No one bullied me, you're overthinking it."
No, someone must be bullying her.
This kind of muscle memory isn't formed in a day or two; it's a conditioned reflex that develops over many years.
Xie Nanzhi's brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
After a while, Xie Nanzhi gently placed her hand on Wang Shufen's shoulder and said softly, "Well, it's good that no one is bullying you. Get ready, I'll take you out to eat this morning."
Wang Shufen looked up in surprise, "Huh?"
Xie Nanzhi was unusually patient, and even her eyes held a warm light. "Let's go have some Hong Kong-style dim sum. You probably haven't tried it before. I'll take you to try it."
Wang Shufen smiled; it was the most genuine smile Xie Nanzhi had ever seen.
Xie Nanzhi ordered a lot of breakfast, and Wang Shufen kept saying that it was too much and she couldn't finish it, but she still wanted to order more. As for the rest, she could just pack them up and take them home.
The two parted ways at the dim sum restaurant; Wang Shufen went home, while Xie Nanzhi took a car to Yuecheng.
