Chapter 129 Why did you seduce him?
Xie Nanzhi looked around and saw no place to take shelter from the rain, but she didn't want to leave. She didn't want to give up until the very last moment.
Within minutes, the heavy rain had soaked Xie Nanzhi to the bone, and now, a gust of wind made her shiver.
Just then, the gate opened, and Dr. Fu handed over an umbrella. "Come in and get out of the rain."
To Xie Nanzhi's surprise, this stubborn old man actually allowed her to go inside to take shelter from the rain. Does this mean that he is not a cold-hearted person at heart?
No, he was certainly not a cold-hearted person. How could a man who stayed by his sick wife's side without ever abandoning her be a cold-hearted person?
Xie Nanzhi took the umbrella and said, "Thank you."
Dr. Fu remained calm as he walked ahead, with Xie Nanzhi following behind. The wooden house immediately felt warm as they entered.
She stood at the door, and just as she closed her umbrella, Mrs. Fu brought her a cup of tea. "This is brown sugar ginger tea. Drink it to warm yourself up."
Xie Nanzhi smiled, took the brown sugar ginger tea, and drank it all in one gulp. "Mrs. Fu, your ginger tea is delicious."
Mrs. Fu smiled gently, "Come in and sit down. Who knows how long this rain will last."
Xie Nanzhi walked in without ceremony. She sat on a bench, and Mrs. Fu gave her a clean towel to quickly clean up her disheveled appearance.
As for Dr. Fu, he didn't say a single word to her throughout the entire process, only occasionally and patiently communicating with his wife.
Sitting here, Xie Nanzhi brought up the old matter again, "Mrs. Fu, may I ask why Dr. Fu no longer performs surgeries? If it's to better care for you, the time spent on one surgery wouldn't actually have a significant impact."
Dr. Fu, sitting not far away, answered first, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. There are no excuses. If you bring up surgery again, you might as well go outside and get soaked."
For some reason, Dr. Fu gave Xie Nanzhi a feeling of being embarrassed and angry.
Mrs. Fu then explained, "He hasn't performed surgery for many years and has become rusty; he probably can't help you."
Both of them said so, without even a reason.
Xie Nanzhi was unwilling to give up and still wanted to try. "My grandmother is one of my few relatives. The doctor said that if she needs to have surgery, only Dr. Fu can perform it. I believe the doctor won't lie to me."
“Dr. Fu, you are willing to exchange your career for time with Mrs. Fu. You must love her very much. This feeling is just like my love for my grandmother. I hope you can understand.”
Dr. Fu frowned, his face darkening.
He almost subconsciously looked at his hands, and then his expression darkened further.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu sighed, "Young lady, you must love your grandmother very much, but my husband really can't afford to have the surgery for her. No matter how much you beg today, even if you kneel down, we cannot agree."
But why?
Xie Nanzhi really couldn't understand this.
Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips and clenched her palms. "Dr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, I don't know why you are so adamant, but I have come with sincerity. As long as you agree, you can name any conditions you want."
Dr. Fu got annoyed and said, "Why are you going on and on, young lady? I said I wouldn't do it, and that's final. Even if you argue until the end of time, I still won't agree."
With that, Dr. Fu moved back to his bedroom.
The door slammed shut, and Mrs. Fu explained, "I'm sorry, my husband has a bad temper, but he doesn't mean any harm. Please forgive him, young lady."
Xie Nanzhi smiled faintly, "I should be the one apologizing. I apologize for disturbing you. It's understandable that Dr. Fu is impatient with me. If it were me, I might not be as good as Dr. Fu."
Mrs. Fu, with her generous and poised demeanor, smiled and said, "You are quite a perceptive young lady. Unfortunately, there's really nothing Old Fu can do to help you with this matter."
Mrs. Fu is really gentle; even when she refuses someone like this, it doesn't make anyone feel offended.
Xie Nanzhi sighed, "With a woman as gentle as Mrs. Fu, it's no wonder that Dr. Fu dotes on you so much. Nowadays, it's rare to see a couple as loving as you two."
Suddenly, Mrs. Fu's smile froze, but it was fleeting.
Mrs. Fu didn't say much. She slowly got up and said, "I'm going to see my husband. Please sit down and make yourself at home. Don't be shy."
After saying that, Mrs. Fu went into the bedroom.
Xie Nanzhi sat in the living room, her hair almost dry. She got up and stood by the window, watching the torrential rain pouring down outside. There was already a lot of water on the road.
Judging from the intensity of the rain, it's unlikely to stop anytime soon.
Just then, Xie Nanzhi's phone received a text message notification from China Mobile that the recharge had been successful.
A recharge amount of 120,000?
Xie Nanzhi thought she had misread it, so she checked again, and it was indeed 120,000.
Without even thinking, it's obvious who did it.
It must have been tough for Mu Lin. He spent 120,000 yuan to recharge? Even if an ordinary person had the money, they might not be able to do it for him.
Then Mu Lin's WeChat message popped up: "Miss Nan, I really have no other choice. You know how cruel my second master is. He said if I can't figure out a way to pay you back this money, he wants me to get lost."
After sending the string of words, he added a pitiful emoji.
Xie Nanzhi was truly embarrassed to make things difficult for them any further.
She replied, "Wei Chizheng is a real scoundrel."
Mulin stared at a line of text on the screen and burst into laughter.
He thought, only Miss Nan would dare to say such a thing. If it were anyone else, they might not even see the sun rise tomorrow.
Mulin believed that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, so he sent the screenshot directly to Tietou.
After exiting the chat interface, Mu Lin suddenly realized, "Oh no, how did I end up sending it to Second Master?"
Is Heaven determined to destroy him?
It's better to mend the fence after the sheep are lost than to retaliate; it can be undone in less than two minutes, in case Second Master hasn't had a chance to see it yet.
Mu Lin immediately retracted the message, praying in his heart, "He didn't see it, he didn't see it, Second Master must not have seen it."
Then, my phone vibrated; it was a message from Wei Chizheng.
In short, it's too late.
Mu Lin slumped onto the sofa, on the verge of tears.
"It's not just too late, it's all over."
Back at the cabin, Xie Nanzhi went online to look up more information about Dr. Fu, hoping to find a breakthrough.
At the same time, she seemed to hear arguing coming from the bedroom. The noise wasn't loud, but she was certain it was an argument.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't figure out what could have happened to make Mrs. Fu, such a gentle woman, lose her temper.
However, this is ultimately a matter between the couple, and Xie Nanzhi wouldn't meddle.
Afterwards, Xie Nanzhi compiled a brief profile of Mr. Fu and sent it to Su Mu: "Please check if there are any other reasons besides caring for his sick wife that led to his early retirement."
Su Mu: [Received.]
Just then, the bedroom door was suddenly flung open, and Mrs. Fu appeared to be a completely different person; she was hysterical and in a state of frenzy.
Suddenly, Mrs. Fu's gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi, her pupils widened, and she lunged forward menacingly, grabbing Xie's clothes. "Why did you seduce him? He's your mentor."
