Chapter 193 The owner of the red hair tie was actually her.
She paused, then slowly turned her head.
Luo Meijuan stared at Cui Yong in astonishment, covering her face with tears welling up in her eyes.
Standing next to Xie Nanzhi, Tie Tou crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "President Cui, did you not eat enough?"
Xie Nanzhi remained silent, clearly dissatisfied with the slap.
Cui Yong frowned, reluctant but still mustered all his strength and slapped Luo Meijuan again.
This time the force was much greater than the first time, and Luo Meijuan's face was swollen.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lin spoke up sarcastically again, "Oh my, President Cui, how come you, a grown man, are like a pretty face? Even a three-year-old child has more strength than you."
Cui Yong's face was naturally not good, but when he thought that he had been humiliated like this because of Luo Meijuan, resentment arose in his heart.
He glared at her and slapped Luo Meijuan hard across the face, the slap drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.
Luo Meijuan staggered and steadied herself by holding onto the table, her gaze towards Xie Nanzhi seeming capable of killing her.
Xie Nanzhi knew that the grudge between her and Luo Meijuan could never be resolved in their lifetime.
It doesn't matter anymore.
If Luo Meijuan wants to continue this fight, then she'll play along to the end.
Xie Nanzhi smiled, her beautiful eyes slightly raised.
Xie Nanzhi also intends to let the matter drop, but Cui Yong is willing to bear all the losses incurred by the gallery.
In this way, the losses for both Zhao Tiesheng and his wife, as well as the gallery, were minimized.
Xie Nanzhi didn't stay for dinner; she couldn't eat either, seeing the two of them.
After leaving Suiyuxuan, Xie Nanzhi took Mulin and Tietou to eat authentic Hong Kong cuisine.
Perhaps because they had spent a lot of time together in the past year, Mu Lin and Tie Tou had come to regard Xie Nanzhi as a companion.
Tie Tou, who was a bit reserved before, has become much more cheerful, and Wang Shufen even clamored to introduce him to a girlfriend.
Mulin knew about this and complained, saying that Wang Shufen was biased, introducing girlfriends to Tietou but not to him.
Later, Wang Shufen said that Mulin was so glib, there was no need for her to introduce him to a girlfriend. On the contrary, Tietou was taciturn and didn't say a word, it was too difficult for him to find a girlfriend on his own.
So, in the very end, it was Iron Head's damage that reached its peak.
The three chatted and laughed, and then returned to their conversation. Mu Lin said, "Sister-in-law, you're still too soft-hearted. Three slaps are nothing."
Xie Nanzhi sipped her chicken soup, placed the spoon in the bowl, and joked with a smile, "What? Should I pin Luo Meijuan to the ground and knock all her teeth out too?"
Hmm, this scene looks familiar?
Mu Lin suddenly realized that when they first truly met Xie Nanzhi, he and Tie Tou were indeed knocking someone's teeth.
"Sister-in-law, do you still remember this? Let me tell you, back then, Second Master looked as calm as a rock, but inside he was terrified..."
The atmosphere changed as soon as the words were spoken.
Mu Lin's smile froze on his lips, and he slapped his own mouth in frustration.
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? You might as well donate your mouth.
Mu Lin looked at Xie Nanzhi with concern, but fortunately, she quickly composed herself. "I still remember what he looked like back then. He was very handsome. Among the three of you, he was the most eye-catching."
Despite being outshone by Second Master, Tie Tou and Mu Lin weren't angry at all; on the contrary, they were quite happy.
Mu Lin, ever the chatterbox, asked, "Sister-in-law, weren't you scared back then?"
How could she not be afraid? She had never encountered such a scene before.
Xie Nanzhi repeated what Mu Lin had just said: "He looks as steady as an old dog, but he's panicking inside."
Mu Lin rested his hand on the armrest, recalling the situation at the time, "Sister-in-law, this matter is actually related to you."
"Me?"
Mu Lin explained, "Yes, you remember that man whose teeth were knocked out? He was the one who forged your paintings on the market. Our Second Master's methods towards him were definitely considered gentle. But no one expected to run into you there, otherwise we would never have done anything there."
Hearing Mu Lin's words, it was clear that Wei Chizheng had known her before their first meeting.
Indeed, Wei Chizheng mentioned key dates in his diary, many of which were before what she mistakenly believed to be their first meeting.
In fact, Wei Chizheng knew her before she went blind.
Not only do we know each other, but we've also been following this story.
The diary she treasured contained his overflowing love for her.
Mulin and Tietou are Wei Chizheng's brothers; they must know something.
Xie Nanzhi stared intently at Mu Lin across from her. "Mu Lin, did Wei Chizheng like me a long time ago?"
Mu Lin nodded vigorously.
Sure enough, he had known her for a long time.
Mu Lin explained, "Sister-in-law, you should know that Second Master always wears a red ribbon on his wrist, right?"
Xie Nanzhi said, "I know. Mu Jiaojiao told me that the red ribbon was a token of love given to Wei Chizheng by the woman he liked."
Mu Lin also gave an affirmative answer, "That's right, the red ribbon does belong to the woman Second Master likes, but you probably don't know who that woman is."
It seems an answer is emerging.
Xie Nanzhi's eyes were shining. "Don't tell me that woman is me."
Mu Lin laughed, "Otherwise what? Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, why would Second Master have devoted all his energy to you? The reason he didn't dare tell you is that Second Master knows his illness; he won't live past thirty and can't promise you a future. He'd rather take this love to his grave than let you know. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to hold you back. As for marrying you, it's nothing more than finding a reasonable excuse to accept all his assets. He's always been thinking of you, even in his last moments..."
As he spoke, Mulin burst into tears.
When Wei Chizheng was twelve years old, he was kidnapped. He managed to escape, but the vicious kidnappers were chasing him from not far away.
Just then, twelve-year-old Wei Chizheng encountered eight-year-old Xie Nanzhi. She hid the frail Wei Chizheng in her princess dress, which saved him from disaster.
Later, Xie Nanzhi was taken away by Xie Yuanyang, who came looking for her, leaving behind only the red ribbon that had inadvertently fallen off.
From then on, that red ribbon became something Wei Chizheng never parted with. Several of the young men who were close to him knew that Wei Chizheng had a white moonlight (a woman he loved deeply), but they didn't know who that person was.
After listening, Xie Nanzhi's eyes were already filled with tears.
She had no idea that his deep affection had begun so early.
Twelve-year-old Wei Chizheng fell in love with eight-year-old Xie Nanzhi on that day, and that love lasted for eighteen years.
Xie Nanzhi bit her lip, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, even breathing caused a dull ache in her heart.
Wei Chizheng, how could you be so foolish?
There's no one more foolish than you in this world.
Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She slowly looked down at the blood flowing from beneath her...
