Chapter 43 Slap in the Face
Xie Nanzhi was generous; she turned off her phone, a faint smile in her eyes, "Mr. Wei, facts have proven that my efforts were not in vain."
Liu Chen messaged her, agreeing to stand up and testify for her, as long as she notified him in advance.
Xie Nanzhi was overjoyed to receive such good news after a long time.
However, Xie Nanzhi was not in a hurry.
Liu Chen alone is not enough to shake Pei Jingchuan. If Liu Chen were to report him now, Pei Jingchuan could easily overturn his testimony, which would also give Pei Jingchuan a reason to be on guard.
Xie Nanzhi needs more evidence; she only has one chance and must strike decisively.
Wei Chizheng's thin lips curved into a smile, genuinely happy for her. He just hadn't expected that someone who was afraid of death would actually change his mind.
Wei Chizheng originally intended to use some extreme measures to persuade Liu Chen, but it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Wei Chizheng said, "Miss Nan, congratulations."
Xie Nanzhi's smile grew even brighter. "Mr. Wei, congratulations to you too."
A smile exchanged between two strong individuals is a sign of mutual understanding.
During the two-hour flight, Xie Nanzhi slept soundly, a feeling of peace and comfort she had never experienced during her five days in H City.
Xie Nanzhi lazily took off her blindfold, only to find that she was covered with a blanket.
How come she doesn't remember covering herself with a blanket?
Xie Nanzhi subconsciously glanced at Wei Chizheng to the side, who was engrossed in reading a book.
It couldn't be him, could it?
Their relationship isn't that good yet.
Xie Nanzhi thought that the flight attendant must have covered her with the blanket because she was afraid she would catch a cold.
The plane landed safely very quickly.
Passengers disembarked one by one. Xie Nanzhi and Wei Chizheng walked one after the other in the airport hall. Just as they were about to leave the airport, Wei Chizheng suddenly asked, "Need a ride?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice called out from not far away, "Nanzhi, over here."
Xie Nanzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xibei. She waved to Xibei and replied to Wei Chizheng, "No need to trouble yourself, my friend is here to pick me up."
It was obvious to the naked eye that someone's face darkened.
Wei Chizheng grunted in response and said nothing more.
Upon receiving Xie Nanzhi, Xibei rushed over joyfully and gave her a big hug.
Xibei was incredibly excited, her eyes practically glowing with excitement. "Honey, Lao Zhou is throwing a welcome-back banquet for me tonight. All the young talents in the entire city are coming. You absolutely have to dress up nicely."
As Xibei said this, Wei Chizheng happened to pass by the two of them. He paused, frowned, and glanced at Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi was taken aback by his sudden, cold gaze.
What do you mean?
Xie Nanzhi thought for a moment, could it be that he was being unreasonable for not saying goodbye to him?
It seems so.
So Xie Nanzhi waved goodbye with a cheerful smile, "Goodbye, Mr. Wei."
After saying that, Wei Chizheng strode away without looking back.
Mu Lin followed closely behind, only to see that Wei Chizheng's face had turned black, and he was like a walking air conditioner, making Mu Lin shiver.
Mu Lin dared not breathe, feeling that Wei Chizheng was about to kill someone at any moment.
Suddenly, Wei Chizheng said in a low voice, "Go and find out."
Mu Lin understood immediately, "Alright, I'll send someone to inquire right away."

With the suitcase in the trunk, Xi Bei drove straight from the airport to the most upscale shopping mall in the port city, where Xie Nanzhi was dragged out of the car.
"I'll pick out a dress for you, the kind that will outshine everyone else."
Xie Nanzhi complained, "I'm not going on a blind date, why all this fuss? Besides, it's your welcome dinner, you're the one who should dress up nicely, otherwise wouldn't I be stealing your thunder?"
Xibei hooked her arm around hers, refusing to listen to anything she said. "You're my best friend. You can steal my thunder all you want, you can even shit on my head. Come on, come on, MOMO has released a new style. Apparently, there's only one in the world, and it's very figure-dependent; most people can't fit into it."
Xie Nanzhi was forcibly taken to the MOMO store, where she immediately spotted the light blue dress on the mannequin in the glass display case.
Then I heard Xibei say to the sales assistant, "Take out this designer dress and let my friend try it on."
The sales assistant immediately came over, first glancing at their clothing, seemingly to confirm their purchasing power.
Xibei grew impatient. "Why are you taking so long? I just asked you to get me some clothes, and now you're scanning me with an X-ray?"
Sales assistants in high-end shopping malls treat customers differently based on their appearance. If you're dressed casually and not in designer brands, you won't even be allowed to try on clothes.
The sales assistant thought Xi Bei's clothes were acceptable, but Xie Nanzhi's clothes were ordinary, so it was obvious she didn't have the purchasing power.
Not wanting to waste her time, the sales assistant explained, "Madam, this is our store's latest designer dress, one of only one in the world. The pearls on it are all hand-sewn stitch by stitch, and they can easily be damaged if you're not careful. If you just want to try it on and take a picture to post on social media, then you should probably pass."
Although his attitude was polite, every word he uttered was filled with contempt.
Xi Bei immediately objected, "What do you mean? Are you saying we can't afford it?"
The sales assistant smiled politely, "I didn't mean that, but if you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do."
Xibei nearly fainted from anger. Just as she was about to argue with him, she heard a voice behind her say, "I want this dress. Please swipe your card for me."
A woman dressed head-to-toe in Chanel stepped forward and handed over a black card.
The sales assistant took it, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the black card.
This black card from a certain bank has a global issuance of only one hundred, and only the bank's most distinguished clients are entitled to possess it, which shows how prestigious the woman's status is.
The sales assistant happily accepted it, "Okay, I'll pay for you right away."
Xibei had never been humiliated like this before. She was furious and wanted to go find the sales assistant.
Xie Nanzhi reached out and pulled her back, saying in a steady voice, "What's the rush?"
Xi Bei wasn't as composed as Xie Nanzhi. "How can I not be anxious? We've been bullied to such an extent. If I don't tear this shop down today, I'm not a Xi Bei."
Xie Nanzhi looked in the woman's direction, a smile playing on her lips, "Do you really think she can get it?"
Huh? What do you mean?
Xibei was completely baffled.
At the same time, the woman turned her gaze toward me and smiled, "Miss Nan, we meet again. By the way, you should know about that supplementary credit card, right? It was a gift from Jingchuan."
Xie Nanzhi glanced at Jian Yao with a sarcastic look in her eyes, "I always thought Miss Jian was just good at talking big, but I didn't expect her to be so good at running away as well."
Xie Nanzhi will not forget the grudge she held against her for plotting against her at the entertainment club last time.
Upon hearing the name "Miss Jane," Xibei immediately knew who she was.
Xibei's expression was exaggerated. "Oh my, you're Pei Jingchuan's Wanwan Leiqing. I must say, you do look a bit like our Nanzhi, except you're a bit shameless."
Jian Yao remained calm and wasn't provoked by Xi Bei's few words. "Miss Nan, your friend is being rude. Shouldn't you do something about it?"
Once Xibei knew her identity, she wouldn't tolerate her anymore. "Even your mother doesn't care if you act like a jerk, so why should I be allowed to?"
Jian Yao's face turned black from the scolding, "You..."
Just then, the sales assistant rushed over with the black card, saying, "Madam, this card of yours can't be swiped."
