Chapter 28 Wei Chizheng, Put Me Down
Driven by human instinct, Xie Nanzhi's vigilance was activated. Following Wei Chizheng's gaze and meeting his eyes, she decided to preemptively strike, not allowing him to react. "Mr. Wei, you are indeed too kind. We are just having a simple family dinner. How could we be disturbing you?"
His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and Wei Chizheng's thin lips curled up. He was truly unceremonious, casually pulling out a chair and sitting down. "In that case, you don't mind if I have an extra pair of chopsticks, do you?"
Xie Nanzhi and Guo Xun exchanged glances. Guo's mother awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I don't mind, but I'm afraid Mr. Wei will feel uncomfortable."
Wei Chizheng really didn't consider himself an outsider. He sat down with his tall and straight posture, and happened to sit in the empty seat next to Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi's peripheral vision clearly captured Wei Chizheng's silhouette in her pupils. What exactly did this man want to do?
It's unlikely he'd come to freeload, nor does it seem like he's specifically trying to curry favor with Guo's mother.
After their first meeting, Xie Nanzhi investigated Wei Chizheng out of curiosity. She didn't find much useful information, only that he was a mysterious investor who had been frequently visiting Hong Kong recently, and that his investments in Hong Kong projects, large and small, in the past three months alone had totaled a billion.
Many business owners in Hong Kong wanted to meet him, hoping to get investment from Wei Chizheng and further advance their businesses.
Xie Nanzhi vaguely remembered something.
She remembered that Wei Chizheng seemed to have recently been in contact with Zhengrong Group, the company founded by Pei Jingchuan.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't help but feel more curious about Wei Chizheng, and her beautiful eyes instinctively looked in his direction.
Then Wei Chizheng said casually, "I'm a very adaptable person, so Madam Guo doesn't need to worry. Besides, eating alone is quite boring. I can sit here and discuss investment projects with Madam Guo."
Since things had been said to this extent, Guo's mother naturally couldn't refuse.
However, the scene was somewhat awkward.
During their casual conversation, Mrs. Guo had to turn her attention to Wei Chizheng and took the opportunity to bring up the company's new project, which Wei Chizheng also expressed interest in.
Xie Nanzhi, however, remained vigilant. No one would be so bored as to show up uninvited; she always felt that Wei Chizheng's arrival was ill-intentioned.
A short while later, Xie Nanzhi left, citing urgent business.
Guo Xun, this fake boyfriend, was definitely going to be seen off. As the two walked out of the private room, Xie Nanzhi couldn't wait to ask, "Who is this man?"
Guo Xun was a typical rich kid, walking with an arrogant air. "My mom mentioned him; he seems to be an investor. Recently, my mom's lab needed a large investment, so she contacted Mr. Wei. What, are you interested in him?"
Xie Nanzhi chuckled dryly, "Heh, I'd rather be interested in you than him."
Guo Xun jumped back several meters in fright. "Junior sister, you can't covet my body. You know I'm allergic to women."
Xie Nanzhi rolled her eyes, utterly speechless at him.
This story dates back to a few years ago when Guo Xun was injured and hospitalized in a VIP ward. A nurse tried to seduce him and stole a kiss from him when he wasn't looking. Guo Xun vomited on the spot, almost bringing up bile, which is why he is now afraid of women.
Guo Xun quickly escorted Xie Nanzhi to the door and then turned back.
Xie Nanzhi walked down the steps, her beautiful skirt swaying in the wind, each step graceful and elegant.
High heels are really uncomfortable; they rub my feet raw and hurt.
Xie Nanzhi simply took off her high heels and carried them in her hand, finally feeling comfortable. People really shouldn't make things difficult for themselves.
Behind her, Wei Chizheng was watching her.
Beneath his rigid demeanor, a hint of doting could be discerned. Wei Chizheng quickened his pace, "Miss Nan."
A person walked up beside him; it was Wei Chizheng.
Since he followed us here, does that mean his purpose in entering the private room was also for her?
Xie Nanzhi didn't want to think too badly of the person, but the things this person had done certainly didn't seem like something a good person would do.
Xie Nanzhi's eyes sharpened. "You investigated me?"
Wei Chizheng's voice was somber. "Your name was told to me by Madam Guo."
Was he trying to tell her that he hadn't investigated her?
But Xie Nanzhi isn't a three-year-old child who would believe such a lie. Presumably, Wei Chizheng now knows her contact information and the hotel she's staying at.
Xie Nanzhi had no choice but to state her position: "Mr. Wei, what I said last time still holds true, so you don't need to keep popping up to warn me."
Wei Chizheng: "Hmm."
That's it?
That's all?
This attitude left Xie Nanzhi confused.
However, it's always best to keep your distance from this dangerous person.
Xie Nanzhi withdrew her curious gaze, picked up her high heels and walked forward barefoot. But as soon as she took a step, before her feet even touched the ground, she felt light and was suddenly lifted into Wei Chi's arms.
The incident happened so suddenly that Xie Nanzhi was completely unprepared. "Wei Chizheng, what are you doing? Put me down."
Wei Chi walked steadily toward the parking lot. "My car broke down. I'd like to trouble Miss Nan to give me a ride. I'll carry you to the car as a way of thanking you. After all, I don't like owing favors to others."
The logic is meticulous and flawless.
The key question is, when did she agree to give it to him?
You just got a free meal and drinks, and now you're trying to hitch a ride?
The warnings that needed to be given have been given, and the objective has been achieved. So, what else does this man want to do?
The parking lot was on the right. Without Xie Nanzhi's guidance, Wei Chizheng could accurately identify which car Xie Nanzhi had driven.
Wei Chizheng gentlemanly carried her into the car, then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Their eyes met by chance, and Wei Chizheng saw the wariness in Xie Nanzhi's eyes. His deep voice, like a carelessly touched cello string, was alluring and seductive: "What? Afraid I'll eat you up?"
Xie Nanzhi: I'm sick.
She frowned, averting her gaze, her tone revealing impatience, "Where is Mr. Wei going?"
Wei Chizheng leaned back lazily in his chair, his thin lips parting slightly, "Cloud Top Villa."
Almost instantly, Xie Nanzhi's expression froze, and all color drained from her face.
Three months had passed, and she never expected to hear about Cloud Top Villa again from this man she had only met twice.
After taking a full minute to adjust, Xie Nanzhi turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of doubt, "Mr. Wei and President Pei are very familiar with each other?"
Wei Chizheng remained calm and composed, and asked in a slow and deliberate manner, "It seems that Miss Nan and President Pei are old acquaintances?"
Xie Nanzhi was unsure how much Wei Chizheng knew about her past, about the Xie Nanzhi who had struggled in the mire for three years.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her emotions surging. Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath, "Mr. Wei, you're overthinking it. I'm not familiar with President Pei; I only happened to see an introduction about Cloud Top Villas and that's how I learned it's his private property. However, Cloud Top Villas is really not on the way, Mr. Wei, you should..."
"The Cloud Top Villa is now mine; it was a small gift from President Pei to attract investment."
Wei Chizheng promptly interrupted Xie Nanzhi's impulsive refusal, paused, and then said, "Miss Nan, I don't like owing favors, and naturally I don't like others owing me favors either."
