Chapter 280 Having a crush on him is simply laughable.
It seems that no one knows about her plan to separate from Wei Chi and marry Pei Jingchuan except for the two of them.
In other words, he never intended to let go.
Xie Nanzhi was very anxious.
She didn't offer any further explanation, but simply looked out the window, watching the wind whipping fallen leaves against the glass, the crackling sound unable to drown out the emotions in her heart.
The memory of his pained expression and the harsh words she had spoken were like a tangled thread, tightening around her heart.
Right now, the person Xie Nanzhi least wants to see is Wei Chizheng.
Ironically, what we fear most is what comes to pass.
Xibei raised her head and said, "Oh, Wei Chizheng, you've come."
Xie Nanzhi suddenly looked up, and the man a few steps away was indeed Wei Chizheng.
He hadn't changed his clothes for days, and his shirt was all wrinkled. It was unbelievable that a man who was always so refined and clean could be so unkempt.
Xie Nanzhi wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
However, some people's elegance and nobility come from within, and never from these external things.
Wei Chizheng is that kind of person.
He took a few steps, handed over two bottles of water, his exposed wrists showing distinct knuckles, and his movements carried a strange elegance, as if he were brushing dust off an elegant robe.
"Xibei".
Xibei stared wide-eyed with curiosity, "Give it to me? That can't be right."
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Nanzhi.
Seeing that she didn't react, Xibei's eyes lingered between the two of them. "What's going on?"
Wei Chizheng frowned, seemingly losing patience. "If you're not going to drink it, I'll take it away."
"Drink, drink, of course I'll drink."
Xibei reached out and took the two bottles of water, handing one of them to Xie Nanzhi, "Here, your favorite soda lemonade."
It is indeed Xie Nanzhi's favorite water, and even the brand is the one she drinks most often.
Wei Chizheng's gaze inadvertently fell on her, and seeing that he didn't react, his furrowed brows deepened.
Without saying a word, he strode away.
Xibei was completely dumbfounded.
Wei Chizheng wished he could pluck all the moonlight from the sky and give it to Nanzhi. What's wrong with her today?
Did you take the wrong medicine?
Xibei muttered to herself, "Something's not right. Auntie's condition isn't optimistic. Wei Chizheng was just starting to show concern for her, so why does he suddenly seem like a different person?"
Xibei was completely baffled, then suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I know!"
Xie Nanzhi's heart tightened, and she quickly glanced at her.
Then Xibei said, "Wei Chizheng has fallen for someone else, hasn't he? Nanzhi, is he still seeing Mu Jiaojiao? That scumbag, I thought he was a good man, how could he betray my trust?"
Xie Nanzhi rubbed her forehead.
Utterly speechless.
It seems I overestimated her intelligence again.
Aside from academic pursuits, Xibei is definitely a human anomaly.
Therefore, this is enough to prove that God is fair; when He opens a door for you, He closes a window.
Xie Nanzhi complained, "With such an imagination, it would be a waste of your amazing brain circuits if you didn't read some cheesy, melodramatic romance novels."
Xibei looked bewildered. "Huh?"
Xie Nanzhi laid her cards on the table, sighing, "Wei Chi and I argued that I wanted to marry Pei Jingchuan..."
She recounted the whole incident.
Xibei stood up in surprise. "What the hell? Nanzhi, are you crazy? Even if it's to save Auntie, you can't just walk into the lion's den! What kind of person is Pei Jingchuan? All the women he's slept with over the years are commonplace. Aren't you afraid he might have some kind of sexually transmitted disease?"
No, that's off-topic. Even without venereal diseases, it's still not acceptable. That scumbag, I wanted to chop him up with a knife, and you still want to marry him? If your aunt knew, she'd probably die of anger.
"Ha, no wonder Wei Chi was so sarcastic. If it were me, I'd just let you fend for yourself. Bringing you water? I'd rather give you a bottle of pesticide and we'd all die together."
Xibei said her mouth was steaming and her throat was dry.
She rolled her eyes at Xie Nanzhi and snorted, "Sister, I'll give you a look and you'll understand. I'm too lazy to bother with you."
He gulped down a large mouthful of water, then ignored Xie Nanzhi and turned to leave.
Then, Xie Nanzhi looked at the bottle of water in her hand, feeling a mix of emotions.
She did act impulsively in making this decision.
He didn't consider things enough, which broke Wei Chi's heart.
It's understandable that he resents her.
Xie Nanzhi took out her phone from her pocket, found Wei Chizheng's chat window, and tried typing it several times, but she deleted it all word by word.
Forget it, I'd rather find an opportunity to say it face to face.
Just then, Zhou Mubin called.
Xie Nanzhi's thoughts were pulled back, and she answered the phone, "Old Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Mubin answered truthfully, "Nanzhi, didn't you and Wei Chizheng discuss this? I asked him to find a time to sign, but he went and told me to donate it to the country."
If the other party refuses to sign, the gift contract cannot be valid.
Xie Nanzhi hummed in agreement. "Okay, I understand. Let's put this matter aside for now."
Zhou Mubin complained, "Nanzhi, what's wrong with you two? You seem really strange. Did you have a fight?"
Xie Nanzhi was a little tired. She leaned against the windowsill and said, "I'll talk to you another day. I want to get some rest."
She had exhausted herself these past two days, and Zhou Mubin naturally knew that. "Alright, let's talk about it another day. I also have something to do."
Xie Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, I'm hanging up."
Zhou Mubin: "Mm."
After ending the call, Zhou Mubin looked up at his watch to check the time.
Today was the day he spent the most time looking at the clock in his entire life.
After calculating, the timing was just right, and Zhou Mubin immediately drove to the Asia-Pacific Group.
As dusk settled over the Western restaurants along the street, Zhou Mubin was standing on the opposite side of the road.
The floor-to-ceiling windows, like a giant prism, refracted the warm yellow light into fragments of gold, which fell precisely on Cui Xiaowei's face.
She tossed the pasta in her plate with a silver fork, while a man in a light gray suit sat opposite her, his sleeves rolled up to reveal an exquisite wristwatch. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips as he spoke, his manner so practiced it was almost blinding.
Zhou Mubin stepped out of the car, his deep eyes narrowing into a dangerous glint, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Having worked together for so many years, she has always been businesslike, serious, and utterly devoid of any fun.
Zhou Mubin had joked more than once that it was a waste of her pretty face, as she was always so cold and aloof.
But at this moment, this very woman was smiling at the strange man, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes softened with a gentleness he had never seen before.
This eyesore must be Cui Xiao's blind date.
Zhou Mubin suddenly remembered what Xibei and Xie Nanzhi had said before: Cui Xiao had a crush on him.
Ha, that's ridiculous.
If she truly liked him, how could she possibly smile so attentively at other men?
The wind swept the fallen leaves past my ankles, bringing the coolness of early spring.
Suddenly, Zhou Mubin gave a wicked smile.
He stepped across the street and walked into the Western restaurant on the other side.
