Chapter 53 Didn't you ever think about winning President Pei back?
Sophie was stunned by the blow, her mind buzzing. "Xie Nanzhi, you broke your promise."
Hearing Sophie's words, Xie Nanzhi scoffed, "Others are called 'stupid beauties,' but you're just a fool. I'm telling you, you fool, do you want to hear what I have to say first? I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty if I hit you, but if I can't help it, that's another story."
Sophie was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged; she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
At this moment, Xie Xiyan remembered to stand up for Su Fei, and said in an affected manner, "Nanzhi, how can you say such rude things? Principal Zhu and Mr. Sen are watching. What are they supposed to think of you?"
This is Xie Xiyan's usual tactic; she always likes to use the people around her as pawns, and then stand up to demonstrate her sense of justice.
Xie Xiyan continued her performance, taking the opportunity to say to Principal Zhu, "Principal Zhu, please excuse my rudeness. Nanzhi is just like that, please don't take it to heart."
Xie Xiyan is a graduate of the Hong Kong Academy of Fine Arts. She knew about the centennial celebration and had called to express her desire to attend, but Principal Zhu directly refused.
Judging from today's situation, Principal Zhu must be planning to invite Xie Nanzhi to the school's anniversary celebration.
Xie Xiyan's strategy was to drag Xie Nanzhi down with her if she couldn't have her, and she was determined to ruin the whole thing today.
Xie Xiyan sneered inwardly. Principal Zhu was notoriously aloof and despised arrogant and conceited people. Just based on Xie Nanzhi's words, Principal Zhu's impression of her would be greatly diminished.
Suddenly, Principal Zhu chuckled twice, "Amanda's personality is straightforward, just like her art style, which I admire very much."
Xie Xiyan's expression froze.
how so?
That shouldn't be done.
He subconsciously looked at Xie Nanzhi, only to see her chuckling casually, every smile tinged with contempt.
With a slight smile, Xie Nanzhi turned around and met Xie Xiyan's jealous eyes. She curled her lips into a provocative smile and said, "Miss Xie, don't worry. Principal Zhu is discerning and can see right from wrong clearly. Naturally, he won't hold it against me."
After saying that, Sophie, that idiot, came out again, spewing her fury, "How can someone like you be a principal? Do you even know what kind of person this woman you're having dinner with is? She's using her looks to seduce married men; she's a shameless vixen. Aren't you afraid of lowering your own standards by having dinner with her?"
"shut up."
Principal Zhu couldn't take it anymore and wasn't going to give her any face. His face darkened and he said sternly, "I have eyes, I can see for myself. Also, do I need to repeat myself who seduced the married man? Xie Xiyan, if you still want me to save you some face, then take your friends and leave immediately."
Xie Xiyan was so angry that her hands trembled, and she was even angrier at Su Fei, that idiot, for not being able to handle such a simple matter.
Xie Xiyan held her breath, her face displeased.
Fortunately, the person Xie Xiyan was waiting for arrived at that moment. She naturally found a way to save face, "Principal Zhu, my friend has arrived, so we'll be leaving now. See you next time."
Xie Xiyan remained composed, holding the chain of her handbag with both hands, and gracefully turned her back on them.
At the same time, Xie Nanzhi saw the man walking in through the restaurant's main entrance. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and his elegant demeanor made him an eye-catching presence.
Xie Xiyan walked up to the man and pretended to be affectionate, "Jingchuan, you're here. Let's go upstairs."
Pei Jingchuan was just discharged from the hospital yesterday, and during his hospital stay, Xie Xiyan stayed by his side every day, taking care of him without taking off her clothes.
Although he had realized his feelings and no longer loved her, the bond they shared when they were young still remained, which gave Pei Jingchuan a bit more patience.
So, Xie Xiyan took his arm affectionately as before, and he didn't embarrass her.
Pei Jingchuan hummed in agreement and headed upstairs.
Watching the three leave.
Mr. Sen joked, "Amanda, haven't you ever thought about winning President Pei back?"
Mr. Sen knew Xie Nanzhi before she became famous, and he knew a thing or two about her.
Xie Nanzhi simply chuckled and shook her head; her indifferent expression held no trace of tenderness or affection.
To please Pei Jingchuan, Xie Xiyan ordered dishes according to his preferred tastes.
She sat next to Pei Jingchuan, taking the opportunity to win his heart, "Jingchuan, I remember you like eight-treasure duck the most, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Xie Xiyan moved the eight-treasure duck on the table to Pei Jingchuan, cut off a piece with a knife and fork, and put it in his bowl.
Looking at the Eight Treasure Duck in front of him, Pei Jingchuan thought of Xie Nanzhi.
For the past three years, although Xie Nanzhi has been blind, it hasn't stopped her from being good to him in her own way. She doesn't cook often, but she makes his favorite dishes taste delicious, no less than the skills of a five-star chef.
Pei Jingchuan only learned from the aunt after Xie Nanzhi left that the reason she could cook so well was because she had been burned and cut her fingers countless times, and practiced until she became skilled.
He assumed she was talented and never considered that a blind person would need to put in several times more effort than an ordinary person to achieve the talent he spoke of.
Pei Jingchuan took a bite, and as expected, it was not even one ten-thousandth as good as Xie Nanzhi's.
He put down his chopsticks, no longer even wanting to touch them.
Xie Xiyan was unaware of his thoughts, preoccupied with her own calculations. "Jingchuan, Sophie and I are planning to open an art gallery, but we haven't found a suitable location yet. I remember you have a vacant three-story building; could you lend it to us for a while?"
Pei Jingchuan was distracted and casually agreed.
Xie Xiyan beamed with joy, never expecting it to be so easy.
It seems that Pei Jingchuan still cares about her; he will do his best to help her get what she wants.
Hearing this, Sophie was overjoyed. "President Pei, you're so kind. All these years, you've been the best to Xiyan. By the way, we just ran into Xie Nanzhi on the first floor. Do you know how she humiliated Xiyan? The things she said were incredibly nasty. President Pei, you must stand up for Xiyan and get revenge."
As Sophie spoke, Pei Jingchuan stood up, surprised and excited. "What did you say? Nanzhi is downstairs?"
Sophie, being rather simple-minded, thought Pei Jingchuan was going to stand up for Xie Xiyan. "Yes, she's downstairs, probably still here. Mr. Pei, you should teach Xie Nanzhi a lesson, let her know the consequences of offending our Xiyan... Mr. Pei, slow down..."
Pei Jingchuan walked quickly and hurriedly, and he could no longer hear what Su Fei was saying behind him.
Xie Nanzhi is all he can think about right now.
All I want to do is see her.
First floor.
Xie Nanzhi said goodbye to Principal Zhu and Mr. Sen, and only after the two left did she prepare to get into the car.
Before she could even open the car door, Pei Jingchuan rushed up to her and blocked her way.
