Chapter 168 Provocation
The commotion drew everyone's attention, and seeing that Wei Chi was really getting serious, they rushed forward to try and break up the fight.
Mu Jiaojiao was the first to react. She grabbed Wei Chizheng's fist, which was about to fall, and said, "Chizheng, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Cui Hao is your brother."
Cui Hao was pinned down and punched so hard that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He stubbornly said, "Jiaojiao, don't stop him. After all these years of brotherhood, I'm not as good as a woman I've known for only a few days. Let him hit me. If he's so capable, he can kill me today."
Cui Hao was also stubborn and refused to believe he had done anything wrong.
Upon hearing this, everyone roughly guessed that it was related to Xie Nanzhi.
Subconsciously, all eyes fell on Xie Nanzhi.
Mu Jiaojiao advised, "A-Zheng, let go first, and let's talk things out."
Wei Chizheng's face darkened, and his words were sharp: "Nanzhi is my wife, my one-in-a-million wife. There is no better woman in this world than her. If I ever hear anyone say a bad word about her again, don't blame me for disregarding our years of friendship."
After uttering a harsh remark, Wei Chizheng released his grip.
Cui Hao immediately stood up, pointed at Wei Chizheng, and said, "Wei Chizheng, you hit me for a divorced woman. Well done, you're really something."
Xie Nanzhi saw Wei Chizheng, who was walking towards her, stop in his tracks, and her eyes hardened.
Fortunately, the moment he turned around, Xie Nanzhi grabbed his hand.
His iron fist was enveloped in a gentle palm, and Wei Chizheng froze on the spot, looking at Xie Nanzhi in confusion.
Xie Nanzhi gently shook her head, smiled at him as if to soothe his agitated emotions, and then she stepped forward.
Cui Hao glared at her, arrogant and condescending. "A woman like you doesn't deserve A-Zheng. If I were you, I'd have some self-awareness and get lost."
Immediately, Xie Nanzhi retorted, "Why should I get out? The man I married never said anything like that, so what right do you, who consider yourself a friend, have to tell me to get out?"
Cui Hao stared in disbelief, his eyes wide. "You're such a smooth talker! Ah Zheng was bewitched by you and that's why he married you."
Xie Nanzhi remained unfazed. "What's wrong with me? I didn't steal or rob. I just had a failed marriage. How could you label me like that? On the contrary, you don't know me, and you don't understand me. Yet you speak rudely and attack me in this situation. Is it because your character is 'too high' or your upbringing is 'too good'?"
To everyone's surprise, Xie Nanzhi spoke so boldly.
Cui Hao was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Instead, Mu Jiaojiao, who was next to Cui Hao, said with dissatisfaction, "Nanzhi, we're all friends, how can you talk like that? Even if it's not right, you shouldn't bring up our parents."
Xie Nanzhi had long disliked this woman; she was a complete troublemaker.
Xie Nanzhi sneered, "Miss Mu, if we're all friends, why don't you listen to how he humiliated me? Isn't your bias too obvious?"
Mu Jiaojiao, "I...I didn't."
Mu Jiaojiao instinctively glanced at Wei Chizheng, only to see that his already unfriendly gaze had become even colder. She frowned, and her resentment towards Xie Nanzhi grew even stronger.
After saying these words, Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chizheng stood together.
She glanced at everyone one last time, finally fixing her gaze on Cui Hao, who was the most emotional. "It's true that you're A-Zheng's friend and you're doing this for his own good. But before you tell him these things, shouldn't you do some research instead of just believing everything you hear and being used as a pawn?"
After speaking, Xie Nanzhi calmly took Wei Chizheng's hand, her gaze gentle, and said, "Azheng, let's go."
Wei Chizheng just stared at her, his love for her growing even stronger.
She is so wonderful, so dazzling.
How could he not love her?
Wei Chizheng felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to love this woman.
Wei Chizheng agreed.
After the two left, the private room remained silent for a long time.
Cui Hao lit a cigarette, his tightly furrowed brows remaining furrowed.
Mu Jiaojiao was seething with anger, especially when she thought about the way Wei Chizheng looked at Xie Nanzhi, she was so jealous.
For over twenty years, this arrogant man had never treated anyone with such tenderness. Why did he ultimately give all his gentleness to a lowly woman he had only known for a short time?
She downed a glass of spicy liquor in one gulp, jealousy welling in her eyes. "I don't know what tricks this woman used to make even the usually rational Ah Zheng and our friends turn against her."
Cui Hao was beaten, but he didn't get angry at Wei Chizheng.
Instead, they blamed everything on Xie Nanzhi, just as Mu Jiaojiao said, this woman must have used tricks to bewitch A-Zheng.
As a friend, he couldn't just watch Wei Chizheng keep making the same mistakes.
The night wind in the capital was chilly.
Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chizheng walked out of the den of iniquity. He paused, and Xie Nanzhi also stopped.
He said with a somber face and an apologetic tone, "Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
Xie Nanzhi turned her head to look at the tall, handsome man. "You also think I'm not good enough for you?"
Wei Chi rushed to explain, his words becoming rapid, "How could that be? Between you and me, it has always been me who is not good enough for you."
A frail body, a person with less than a year to live, he has no right to love.
He stole these last moments together.
Xie Nanzhi chuckled, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on his lips. "Then why did you apologize? Wei Chizheng, we don't need to pay for other people's mistakes."
A gentle breeze brushed against her face, lifting the stray hairs from her forehead. Xie Nanzhi playfully poked Wei Chizheng's cheek, creating two dimples. "Besides, didn't you stand up for me? I'm not wronged at all."
Wei Chizheng's pupils brightened slightly, and he froze for a moment. Then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Suddenly, Wei Chizheng pulled her into his arms, his dark eyes filled with deep emotion.
Never before had he felt such a strong urge to live.
I really, really want to be with her.
I really want to walk with her for the rest of my life.
I long to grow old with her, and grow old together, supporting each other through thick and thin.
However, all of this seems like a luxury.
The resentment in his eyes turned into grief and indignation, and finally into helplessness.
...
The next day, when Xie Nanzhi woke up, Wei Chizheng was not there. He left a sticky note reminding her to eat breakfast on time and telling her that he had gone to the group to preside over a board meeting and would not be back until noon.
She carefully put away the sticky notes, and looked at the sumptuous breakfast with a sweet smile in her eyes.
Xie Nanzhi sat down, picked up the milk and was about to drink it when the doorbell rang.
Xie Nanzhi put down the milk and got up to open the door. She saw the visitor on the video call and had a feeling that this person was there for her.
She pressed the unlock button, and a minute later, Mu Jiaojiao stood at the door.
She remained dignified and elegant, meticulous in every detail. Mu Jiaojiao met Xie Nanzhi's eyes and spoke bluntly, "Miss Nan, you don't actually think that A-Zheng married you because he loves you, do you? If he loves you, why wouldn't he want to have children with you?"
