Chapter 85 Mr. Wei, you're hurting me.
Xie Nanzhi paused, recalling the scene from yesterday when she said those words.
In her haste to apply medicine to Wei Chizheng, she casually said something, fearing that Wei Chizheng might misunderstand her thoughts as inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, he actually remembered it?
Is this because the man's self-esteem has been hurt?
I never realized he was so petty.
Xie Nanzhi said, "Mr. Wei, you're hurting me."
Then, Wei Chizheng, who had been so assertive just a second ago, immediately let go of her hand like a child who had done something wrong, frowning and looking remorseful.
His gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi's reddened wrist, and his brows furrowed even more deeply. "...I'm sorry..."
Xie Nanzhi looked at him and felt that this expression shouldn't be on Wei Chizheng's face; it felt too incongruous.
Xie Nanzhi's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Mr. Wei, there's no need to apologize. I'll be going now. See you next time."
Before she could even take a single step out, Wei Chizheng asked the same question again, "Miss Nan hasn't answered my question yet. If you don't like men like me, then what kind of man do you like?"
Is this question important to him?
Xie Nanzhi was puzzled, but Wei Chizheng's eyes were full of seriousness.
After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Young and promising, handsome, with eight-pack abs and a V-shaped waist, and most importantly, emotionally stable."
Wei Chizheng countered, "Am I not emotionally stable enough?"
He believed he met the first three criteria, so only the last one remained. That's why his Nanzhi didn't like him...
As he thought about it, Wei Chizheng's face darkened.
Xie Nanzhi's eyes widened in astonishment.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Xie Nanzhi said, "Mr. Wei, there's no need to be so concerned about these things. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean other women don't like it either. To each their own."
Who needs another woman's love?
Wei Chizheng's gaze was intense, and the suppressed emotions seemed about to burst forth at any moment, but were ultimately suppressed by the cruel reality.
The burning gaze subsided, and Wei Chizheng said softly, "Miss Nan, see you next time."
Xie Nanzhi glanced at him again, and seemed to see a fleeting hint of melancholy on his face.
As soon as Xie Nanzhi left, Mu Lin rushed in. "Second Master, why didn't you invite Miss Xie to lunch? I've been preparing the dishes all morning according to the recipes you provided."
Wei Chizheng's face was frighteningly cold. He took a deep breath and said, "No wonder she likes Pei Jingchuan."
Mu Lin was completely confused. "Huh?"
Wei Chizheng remained silent, lost in his own thoughts.
Young, successful, handsome, with a six-pack and a V-shaped waist, and most importantly, emotionally stable. That scumbag seems to have it all.
So, she still likes him?
Jealousy was like a surging snake, writhing wildly within him. Was this what jealousy felt like?
Wei Chizheng's gaze turned cold as he looked out the window.
——
Xie Nanzhi got into the car as soon as she came out of Yuecheng.
She didn't just make up an excuse; she really had something to do.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Xie Nanzhi looked at the skyscrapers receding into the distance in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but recall Wei Chizheng's forlorn expression when they parted.
Being handsome has its advantages; Xie Nanzhi felt a pang of sympathy for him for a moment.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and reason remained.
But are all men so proud? Do they need the love of every woman in the world to be satisfied?
Besides, it's just that he's not her type, not that he's no good.
Isn't that a bit too sensitive?
Xie Nanzhi silently complained all the way, and finally arrived at a high-end residential area in the port city.
She went to the address, rang the doorbell, and soon a young and beautiful woman came to open the door.
The woman looked Xie Nanzhi up and down. "Who are you looking for?"
Xie Nanzhi introduced herself, "Miss Meng, hello, I am Xie Nanzhi."
...
Monday was a sunny day with clear skies, and the beautiful weather made everyone feel especially happy.
Xie Nanzhi's car was parked downstairs. She sat in the driver's seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding her phone, looking at today's hottest gossip. A smile never left her lips.
About three minutes later, Xie Nanzhi put her phone away and looked at the woman in the passenger seat. "Ms. Meng, you can get in now."
Meng Jingxian nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
In the inpatient ward, Xie Yuanyang was extremely busy. He had to take care of Luo Meijuan and smooth things over for Xie Wanli. To make matters worse, Xie Xiyan was a troublemaker who insisted on provoking Xie Nanzhi, which resulted in her ending up in the hospital as well. Now, he also had to take care of her.
In just a few days, Xie Yuanyang lost a lot of weight and looked visibly haggard.
Luo Meijuan ran over from her own ward to comfort Xie Xiyan, "Xiyan, don't worry, Mom will definitely save your eyes with me here."
Xie Xiyan has a violent temper and can't listen to anything. Just thinking about the possibility of going blind at any time makes her want to explode.
Xie Xiyan didn't care about anything else and pushed Luo Meijuan away.
Luo Meijuan had not fully recovered and could not withstand Xie Xiyan's forceful push. She staggered backward, but fortunately Xie Yuanyang caught her in time.
Xie Yuanyang frowned and questioned, "Xi Yan, what are you doing? How could you lay a hand on Mom? Are you crazy?"
Xie Xiyan had lost her temper and roared, "Do you want to listen to what she's saying? She promises? What promises does she have? I'm the one who's going to go blind, not you. Of course you can talk without feeling the pain. Who can understand how I feel?"
She already had an eye condition, and even after a corneal transplant, her eyes were more fragile than normal. Last time in the private room, the chili peppers irritated her eyes, triggering her condition. Now, Xie Xiyan's vision is rapidly deteriorating, and the doctor says that at this rate, she could very well face blindness.
Three years ago, Xie Xiyan was afraid that she would go blind. Even though she could wait for a corneal donor to appear before having surgery, she didn't want to wait even a day. Xie Xiyan couldn't accept that she couldn't see, not even for a minute.
That's how she orchestrated the car accident before she went completely blind, and then guided Pei Jingchuan to help her remove Xie Nanzhi's cornea and replace it with her own.
Xie Xiyan never imagined that she would face the same predicament three years later.
Xie Yuanyang frowned. "Do you think this is what we want to see? Xiyan, calm down. We can face anything together. We are family for life."
Luo Meijuan sobbed softly, "Xiyan, your brother is right. We still don't know how your father's case will be judged. There are already so many things to deal with at home. Please don't distract us anymore, okay?"
Xie Xiyan couldn't listen to any of that. All she could think about right now was that she couldn't go blind; she absolutely couldn't become blind.
Xie Xiyan suddenly thought of something, "Mom, if I can take Xie Nanzhi's cornea once, I can take it a second time, that's right, I definitely can. I'm going to find Pei Jingchuan, he cares about me so much, he will definitely help me."
As she spoke, Xie Xiyan staggered forward.
Seeing this, Xie Yuanyang immediately stepped forward to block her path, "Xi Yan, can you stop making a scene? Pei Jingchuan won't help you anymore, he doesn't care about you anymore..."
Before he finished speaking, a young woman with a good figure appeared in the ward.
Meng Jingxian glanced around and looked arrogantly at Luo Meijuan, "You must be Mrs. Xie. Just as I imagined, you're old and ugly."
