Chapter 354 You still need to envy me?
Shen Xu gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white. The shadows of the trees outside the car window rushed past in the night, as if trying to leave the oppressive atmosphere of the small space behind.
He scoffed, his eyes practically radiating malice. "You're trapped in my car, in the middle of nowhere. Do you really expect someone to come and rescue you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi suddenly stepped forward, "Then why do you think Pei Jingchuan hasn't made a move on me all these years? Is it because he can't bear to, or because he hasn't had the chance?"
Shen Xu paused noticeably, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
Pei Jingchuan, that madman, has an almost obsessive possessiveness towards Xie Nanzhi, but why hasn't he had a hand all these years?
Shen Xu suddenly had a very dangerous realization, which was then covered by ruthlessness. "Stop talking nonsense to me. Just because he is incompetent does not mean that I am not."
Shen Xu pressed down hard on the accelerator again, increasing the car's speed. The gauges on the dashboard swung wildly, and the warning signs on the roadside flashed by under the headlights, stinging the eyes.
Xie Nanzhi suddenly laughed, a laugh as light as a feather, yet with an inexplicable penetrating power, "Because someone was protecting me in the shadows, he had no chance to make a move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xu suddenly noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several cars behind him, and several cars were speeding towards him from the front.
The high beams of more than a dozen cars in front and behind him turned on at the same time. The bright light made it impossible for Shen Xu to open his eyes. He slammed on the brakes and the car stopped on the side of the road.
Shen Xu's pupils contracted sharply. The next second, he quickly got out of the car, opened Xie Nanzhi's car door, and grabbed her by the neck.
"Xie Nanzhi, let them go, or I'll strangle you."
Xie Nanzhi curled her lips into a smile, her face showing no sign of panic. "Kill me? Don't you even know if you have the ability?"
The next second, a black gun barrel was pressed against Shen Xu's head. His face turned pale, and he subconsciously let go. "Xie Nanzhi, what are you doing?"
Xie Nanzhi gripped the gun, her thin lips pressed into a line. "You've already delivered yourself to the enemy, what do you think I can do?"
Shen Xu's hands trembled uncontrollably, and his previous arrogance vanished.
He underestimated her. The Xie Nanzhi of today is no longer the Xie Nanzhi that everyone bullied back then. She is decisive and ruthless, and has her own black and white principles.
It's not something he can easily move.
But Xie Nanzhi was so charming that even he couldn't deny it.
Several men in black stepped forward. Xie Nanzhi handed Shen Xu over to them, skillfully put away her pistol, straightened her disheveled collar, and calmly said, "Send him to where he needs to be."
The moonlight shone through the treetops onto her face; there was no panic, only a calm and composed demeanor.
Then, Xie Nanzhi's cold gaze swept over Shen Xu, and after getting into the car, she said to the group of people outside, "Send someone to take me home."
A capable-looking man opened the car door. "Miss Nan, I'll give you a ride."
Xie Nanzhi was tired, so she closed her eyes and hummed in agreement.
Finally, she opened her eyes again, her expression one of arrogant arrogance, and said, "Don't let your Second Master know about tonight's events, understand?"
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes, Miss Nan."
Shen Xu's gaze gradually returned only after Xie Nanzhi's car slowly disappeared into the twilight.
Suddenly, Shen Xu felt a heavy blow to his abdomen, and he grimaced in pain. Then, the man next to him grabbed Shen Xu's hair.
"Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out."
Shen Xu winced in pain, and the anger in his eyes gradually turned into resentment in the darkness.
When Xie Nanzhi returned home, her two children and Wang Shufen were already asleep. She went back to her room, took a hot bath, and then lay down.
Xie Nanzhi plans to take a flight to Beijing tomorrow night, as she can finish her work by tomorrow night.
She always felt that at this time, she should stay by Wei Chizheng's side.
Thinking about it, she made a phone call to Xie Yuanyang.
Xie Yuanyang's voice was slightly hoarse from just being awakened, and the faint sound of keyboard typing could be heard in the background, suggesting that he was still dealing with the work that hadn't been finished during the day.
"Nanzhi, what's wrong?"
Xie Nanzhi shifted her pillow to make herself more comfortable. "It's nothing, just trying to shorten tomorrow's schedule as much as possible. I want to catch the last flight to Beijing, could you book me a ticket?"
There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone, followed by the scratching sound of a pen slicing across paper. "The last flight departs at 10:15. I'm checking the availability now... Business class is sold out, but there are two seats left in economy. Otherwise, you can fly to Beijing the day after tomorrow morning; there are business class seats available, so one more night won't make a difference."
Xie Nanzhi gently shook her head, "No need, let's go for economy class tomorrow."
Xie Nanzhi paused, but couldn't help asking, "Nanzhi, do you miss your brother-in-law that much? You can't even wait a little longer than one night."
Xie Nanzhi has never been a pretentious person. "If I could, I would fly there right now."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanyang laughed, "Your relationship with your brother-in-law is truly enviable. I've never seen such a lovey-dovey couple."
Xie Nanzhi gently stroked the edge of her phone with her fingertips, thinking to herself, "Do you still need to envy me? Your relationship with your sister-in-law is also the best in Hong Kong."
Marrying Yang Zhenzhen back then was indeed due to circumstances. He defiled her chastity. Even if it wasn't voluntary, the fact is that he took advantage of the girl.
Xie Yuanyang's personality dictated that he could not possibly not take responsibility for Yang Zhenzhen. He married Yang Zhenzhen, and the two had a daughter. Over the years, Xie Yuanyang has never been unfaithful. Even with his current status, and even if Yang Zhenzhen's intelligence has not changed at all, he has never done anything to betray Yang Zhenzhen.
Even Mr. Yang, who previously didn't think highly of him, had to admit that people with Xie Yuanyang's sense of responsibility are extremely rare these days. Yang Zhenzhen marrying him can be considered the best outcome for her.
Old Yang had tried to hand over the company to Xie Yuanyang to manage more than once, but Xie Yuanyang had refused each time. According to Xie Yuanyang, the company should be left to Yang Zhenzhen, and he would assist Yang Zhenzhen in running the company.
Over the years, Xie Yuanyang has gone from feeling responsible at the beginning to supporting each other through thick and thin. He enjoys this marriage and cherishes this hard-won relationship.
...
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yuanyang looked out the window. The moonlight had already climbed onto the roof of the building opposite, like a thin layer of frost.
It was almost midnight, so he prepared to turn off the study light and go back to rest.
After closing his laptop and turning off the study light, Xie Yuanyang quietly pushed open the bedroom door.
Xie Yuanyang thought Yang Zhenzhen was already asleep, but she was sitting on the bed reading a book, her eyelids drooping. When Xie Yuanyang looked over, she was yawning.
Xie Yuanyang walked over, took the book from her hands, and sat down beside her. "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep early and not wait for me?"
Yang Zhenzhen tilted her head, her sleepy eyes still so pure, "Yuanyang, I have a secret I haven't shared with you yet."
