Chapter 33 He Came
After seeing Zhao Sinian off, Xie Nanzhi wasn't in a hurry to go back. Xi Bei would arrive in an hour, and she would be there to pick her up.
Xie Nanzhi sat in the car waiting, and when she picked up her phone and opened any app, all the pop-ups were about today's art exhibition.
Xie Xiyan thought she could turn the tide with a solo art exhibition, but she never imagined it would completely ruin her life.
At the same time, Amanda's identity was exposed, and news about her dominated the headlines of major media outlets.
This time, Xie Nanzhi has won a great victory.
Not long after, Zhou Mubin called and said that they wanted to go out and celebrate that night, and the three of them would drink until they were drunk.
Xie Nanzhi was in a good mood, and with Xibei returning to China, she naturally had no objections, and she was able to relax for a rare moment.
When the time came, Xibei appeared in front of the airport's automatic gate on time. She took off her sunglasses and started to let loose, rushing towards Xie Nanzhi and almost knocking her over.
"Nan Zhi, you're too fierce. I can already imagine how ugly Xie Xiyan's surgically enhanced face will turn when she finds out that Amanda is you."
Xie Nanzhi took her suitcase and put it in the trunk, casually remarking, "Hmm, it's quite green."
Xibei got into the car first, opened the convertible top, and rested her arm on the window. "That damn green tea, she should have been taught a lesson long ago. If I were here, I would have pinned her to the ground and made her sing 'Conquer'."
Xie Nanzhi smiled and started the car. "She wants to sing, but I don't want to listen. Let's not talk about her anymore, it'll ruin my mood. How long are you going to stay in Hong Kong this time?"
He stepped on the gas and the sports car shot off.
Xibei was startled. "I'm back for an academic exchange, which will last about a year."
Xibei rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xie Nanzhi with a smug smile. "Mainly because you and Lao Zhou are both in China, I wanted to hang out with you guys, and since I had the opportunity, I applied. How about it? Touched?"
Xie Nanzhi joked, "Shall I make you cry?"
Xibei sat up straight, looking disgusted. "There's really no need for that."
After returning to the city from the airport, Xie Nanzhi drove directly to an entertainment club that Zhou Mubin had booked.
Xie Nanzhi wasn't particularly interested in this kind of place, but it was still a good choice to come here occasionally to relax.
Zhou Mubin, wanting a lively atmosphere, didn't book a private room upstairs. Instead, he chose the best booth on the first floor, with a wide view and a clear view of the muscular men exuding masculinity on stage.
When Xie Nanzhi and Xibei arrived, Zhou Mubin had already been there for a while. As soon as they entered, he started waving exaggeratedly.
Xibei complained, "Haven't seen him for over a year, Lao Zhou still has that conspicuous bag."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "There's nothing I can do about it, this kind of flamboyance is etched into my DNA, I'll just stay like this for the rest of my life."
The two walked over, and Xibei didn't hold back at all, punching Zhou Mubin in the chest. "Ouch, that's pretty solid, not bad, Lawyer Zhou."
Zhou Mubin almost got punched into the Pacific Ocean by her, grimacing, "Xibei, can't you act like a woman? Look at Nanzhi, she's a real fairy, unlike you, when I see you I just want to call you Old Deng."
Xi Bei, his beard bristling and eyes wide, rolled up his sleeves, ready to unleash his ultimate move. "Old Deng, huh? Today I'll show you what the real Old Deng is like. Don't you dare run away, Zhou Mubin, you stop right there..."
One ran, the other chased.
Xie Nanzhi was used to it. She sat down alone, poured herself a glass of whiskey, and leisurely enjoyed the performance of the muscular men on stage.
In another part of the same entertainment venue, Jian Yao recognized Xie Nanzhi at a glance.
They had met a couple of days ago. When Jian Yao saw her appearance, she actually had a guess in her heart, but she didn't have a chance to confirm it.
There's news about her all over the internet now, how could Jian Yao not know who she is?
No wonder Pei Jingchuan refused to see her or answer her calls; he must have known all along that Xie Nanzhi was back, so her substitute role was no longer needed.
Jian Yao stared directly in Xie Nanzhi's direction, her eyes filled with jealousy.
If you left, why come back?
Jian Yao was unwilling to accept it; she hated Xie Nanzhi to death.
Just then, a drunkard came over and started chatting her up, his lecherous eyes darting all over her body. "Beautiful lady, would you like a drink, brother?"
Jian Yao was already annoyed and had no mood to pay attention to him.
Just as the word "get lost" was about to slip out, Jian Yao had a sudden inspiration.
The next second, her demeanor completely changed. "Brother, my boyfriend went to the bathroom and will be back soon. But my sister is single, and, you know, she'll take anyone who comes along, as long as they give her some money..."
The drunkard immediately understood and then looked in the direction Jian Yao was pointing.
Xie Nanzhi looked around but didn't see anyone. She didn't know where the two had gone. Ten minutes had passed and they still hadn't returned.
She took out her phone to call Xibei, but before she could dial the number, a man reeking of alcohol sat down next to her.
The drunk man sized her up and, quite rudely, asked, "Have some fun with your brother tonight, and I'll give you a hundred dollars."
Although the woman from before looked similar to the woman in front of him, their temperaments were on completely different levels, and the drunkard felt an irresistible urge to mate upon seeing her.
I really hit the jackpot tonight.
Xie Nanzhi frowned, her tone cold, "You've got the wrong person."
Upon hearing this, the drunkard was displeased. "What? You think it's not enough? If it's not enough, I'll give you another hundred, but two hundred is the most I can give you."
As he spoke, the drunkard reached out and groped Xie Nanzhi's waist.
Suddenly, a pig-like scream rang out, "Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts, let go! It's going to break, it's going to break..."
Xie Nanzhi twisted the drunkard's wrist into a pretzel and pressed his face against the glass tabletop. "Now you know it hurts? Why couldn't you understand human language before?"
The drunkard wailed in pain, retorting, "Aren't you a prostitute? Your sister told me that you can sleep with anyone for money, ah... be gentle, be gentle."
younger sister?
Xie Nanzhi's gaze darkened. "Who told you that?"
The drunkard said, "How would I know who she is? I don't know her."
"What does that woman look like?"
With his wrist about to be broken, the drunkard dared not try anything clever and looked in Jian Yao's direction. "She looks a lot like you. She's over there at the bar."
Xie Nanzhi immediately looked over and saw a hurried figure preparing to leave.
Without thinking twice, Xie Nanzhi tossed the drunkard aside and strode after the woman.
Entertainment clubs are packed with people during peak hours.
When Xie Nanzhi chased after her, the woman was already gone.
Standing at the door, Xie Nanzhi looked around.
It seems she got away.
Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath, her face cold.
The drunkard said that the woman looked a lot like her, and Xie Nanzhi had a vague answer in her heart: there was only one woman who looked similar to her and had the motive to do so.
Xie Nanzhi was about to turn back.
Just then, a man's urgent voice came from behind, "Nanzhi!"
Xie Nanzhi instinctively turned around, and the moment she saw the man's face clearly, her body stiffened abruptly.
