Chapter 169 Ah Zheng has someone he likes, and it's not you.
Mu Jiaojiao got straight to the point, without even a preamble.
As expected, she didn't come to argue with Wei Chi.
Mu Jiaojiao could no longer sit still, and she could no longer pretend.
Xie Nanzhi remained calm and composed, saying, "Miss Mu, please come in and speak."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi turned around, while Mu Jiaojiao was stunned.
Xie Nanzhi's reaction surprised her. She frowned slightly before going inside.
Although Mu Jiaojiao and Wei Chizheng grew up together, she has only visited this place a handful of times. Wei Chizheng has a very strong sense of personal space and doesn't like anyone interfering in his life, not even his friends and family.
But clearly, Wei Chizheng was an exception when it came to Xie Nanzhi.
Mu Jiaojiao noticed several fresh flowers placed around the room, and the curtains were also in warm colors. She even saw neatly arranged slippers in the foyer, which were surprisingly fluffy...
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mu Jiaojiao would never have believed it.
Mu Jiaojiao sat down, and Xie Nanzhi, acting as the hostess, made her coffee. "Miss Mu, please try it. How does it taste?"
Mu Jiaojiao took a sip, gently put down her coffee cup, and said with an elegant and unhurried demeanor, "Miss Nan is the woman with the best mental fortitude I have ever met. However, if a man is not even willing to have a child with you, how much sincerity can he possibly have for you?"
Xie Nanzhi smiled faintly, "So Miss Mu came here today just to show concern for me?"
How could he possibly be here to show concern for her?
Mu Jiaojiao wanted Xie Nanzhi to back down.
How could a woman like that be worthy of Ah Zheng?
Even if Ah Zheng doesn't have much time left, he shouldn't have married such a terrible woman.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Xie Nanzhi with a half-smile, "Miss Nan, I can tell you the truth about why A-Zheng doesn't want to have a child with you."
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes began to look expectantly, "A-Zheng has someone he likes, someone he's liked for many, many years. She's the white moonlight in his heart. You should know about the red hair tie on his wrist, right? A-Zheng carries it with him at all times, he doesn't even take it off when he sleeps. That red hair tie is a token of love given to him by the girl he likes."
“Ah Zheng is marrying you only because he needs a child. But apart from that girl, he is unwilling to have a child with any other woman. For Ah Zheng, no one can replace that girl in his heart. Miss Nan, you must understand this.”
Mu Jiaojiao's gaze fell on Xie Nanzhi's face. She had thought these words would embarrass her, but in fact, her expectations were not met.
Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel unhappy, and her tone rose a beat, "Miss Nan, aren't you sad at all?"
Xie Nanzhi was dressed casually in simple light pink loungewear and fluffy pink slippers. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was sipping coffee with a calm expression.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes, which then turned into a sharp challenge. "Miss Mu, does A-Zheng know that you like him?"
One sentence made Mu Jiaojiao's face turn pale instantly, and her eyes flickered a few times, "I only consider A-Zheng as my younger brother."
Xie Nanzhi laughed, "Miss Mu, you can fool A-Zheng with these words, but you can't fool me. Did you call me here today to see my shock, or my sadness and grief? I'm sorry, I may have to disappoint you."
Xie Nanzhi put down her coffee cup, her smile turning cold. "You come to mock me, why don't you look at yourself first? Even if he was using me, he would rather choose me, someone he'd only known for a short time, than ask you, someone he'd known for a long time, for help. Miss Mu, shouldn't you be the one who's pathetic?"
Mu Jiaojiao's face turned even uglier; even this usually elegant and noble woman couldn't hold back anymore.
She revealed her truest self: jealousy and malice.
"Nanzhi, I underestimated you. You're even more capable than I imagined. No wonder your ex-husband fell for you. But as long as I'm here, you can forget about making Azheng a second him. I won't stand idly by."
Xie Nanzhi found her amusing. "Don't speak so righteously, and don't think of yourself as so noble. Mu Jiaojiao, you're just jealous of me, why do you have to be so righteous and put a label on me?"
Mu Jiaojiao refused to admit it, insisting on standing on the moral high ground to criticize Xie Nanzhi.
The two had a falling out, and Mu Jiaojiao's feigned friendliness vanished. She gracefully stood up, lowered her eyes, and stared at Xie Nanzhi sitting on the sofa. "I only have brotherly feelings for A-Zheng. It's you who have a dirty mind and sees everything as dirty. I came here today hoping to make you back down, but you're unyielding. Nanzhi, if something unpleasant happens in the future, don't blame me."
After saying that, Mu Jiaojiao glanced coldly at Xie Nanzhi in her high heels and strode away.
Then, all of Xie Nanzhi's expressions vanished.
She appeared calm, but only Xie Nanzhi knew that she still cared about Mu Jiaojiao's words.
She had always known about the red ribbon on Wei Chizheng's wrist, but had never asked about it. Today, she finally learned the origin of that red ribbon.
The red ribbon wasn't Mu Jiaojiao, nor was she Wei Chizheng's white moonlight; his white moonlight belonged to someone else.
He said he doesn't want to have children now, but wants to have them next spring. Does that mean his "white moonlight" will come back next spring?
What about between them?
A game, a dream?
Her beautiful arched eyebrows furrowed, and a faint sense of bewilderment rippled in her calm eyes.
She picked up the cold coffee in front of her and drank it down in one gulp. Subconsciously, she pursed her lips, and a bitter taste spread through her heart.
——
Wei Group.
The shareholders' meeting is held once a month, and all shareholders attend.
Wei Chizheng has been acting as the head of the organization for a long time, and no one has had any objections. After all, Wei Chizheng is the sole heir of the Wei family, and the vast Wei empire will one day be handed over to him.
One by one, all the shareholders arrived, and no one was absent.
Wei Chizheng was the last to enter, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he sat down in the chair that symbolized status.
Calm and composed, his deep voice steady, he glanced around and said, "Let's begin."
As per usual procedure, the shareholders' meeting officially commenced.
One shareholder said, "Mr. Wei, the news of your sudden marriage has caused a great stir online. Most importantly, the woman's identity has affected the fluctuations of our group's stock. You should give an explanation to the shareholders present here."
Wei Chizheng looked at the shareholder who had spoken. The shadow cast by his brow bone covered half of his eyes, and the two deep lines at the corners of his eyes gleamed coldly in the sunlight. When his knuckles pressed against the armrest of the leather seat, the metal strap of his Patek Philippe watch on his wrist made a soft sound.
He appeared calm on the surface, but those who knew him well knew that this was a prelude to Wei Chizheng's anger.
Everyone looked at each other, and under the overwhelming pressure, no one dared to disagree. Suddenly, the meeting room door was pushed open.
Wei Chizheng's gaze locked onto the man who had barged into the meeting, and his eyes immediately turned cold and sharp.
