Chapter 214 It turns out Miss Nan likes to eavesdrop.
Three years ago, Tie Tou seriously injured Pei Jingchuan in order to avenge Wei Chizheng. Xie Nanzhi used the "Yan Tower" to temporarily intimidate Wei Huaibo.
Wei Huaibo did not pursue Tie Tou's responsibility and released him. However, Xie Nanzhi actually did not know much about the Yanta incident.
She only discovered that Wei Chizheng was investigating Yanta in his study, but she did not find out any key inside information.
If Wei Huaibo had inquired further at the time, he would have known that Xie Nanzhi was merely a bully using someone else's power.
However, Xie Nanzhi could tell from Wei Huaibo's attitude that Wei Huaibo cared a lot about Yanta, so she never stopped investigating Yanta in the past three years.
Only now have we begun to see some progress.
Upon arriving at Xie Nanzhi's office, Mu Lin closed the door, his expression turning serious.
"The Yanta Tower was a project handled by the Wei Group more than 20 years ago. There were many companies bidding at the time, but the Wei Group won the project with its unique design and the lowest bid, which allowed the Wei Group to completely open up the market. However, halfway through the project, the person in charge of the Yanta Tower construction disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown."
Xie Nanzhi asked curiously, "If that's all, there's no need for Wei Huaibo to be so wary."
Mu Lin continued, "You may not know this, but the person in charge of the Yanta project is none other than Second Master's maternal uncle."
It turns out that Wei Chizheng's mother was not Wei Huaibo's first wife, but a woman more than twenty years younger than him. Back then, Wei Chizheng's mother was already engaged, but Wei Huaibo wanted to force her to marry him the moment he saw her. The reason was simple: she resembled Wei Huaibo's deceased ex-wife.
Although Wei Chizheng's mother was forced to marry Wei Huaibo, she never gave up the idea of leaving the Wei family, even after giving birth to Wei Chizheng.
She tried to escape time and time again, only to be caught and brought back by Wei Huaibo each time. She was locked in a dark room and even had her legs shackled by Wei Huaibo, restricting her personal freedom.
And so, in despair after despair, she finally stood on the terrace of the Wei family villa and jumped off.
Finally, I'm free.
From then on, Wei Chizheng hated Wei Huaibo and blamed his mother's death entirely on him.
This is also the reason why there has always been discord between the father and son.
Mu Lin sighed, "Madam is very cold to the Second Master. She has never held him since he was born. The Second Master also has a bad relationship with the Master. In fact, the warmth the Second Master received most from his uncle since childhood is a pity... sigh."
Xie Nanzhi listened anxiously, "What is the relationship between my uncle and Yanta?"
A glint of malice flashed in Mu Lin's eyes. "Sister-in-law, I've been investigating for three years and have finally made some progress. It's very likely that Second Master's uncle is..."
After hearing Mu Lin's explanation, Xie Nanzhi was incredulous.
She remained silent for a while before calming down. "No wonder Wei Huaibo was afraid of me mentioning Yanta. If your investigation is true, this matter is enough to bring down the entire Wei family."
Mu Lin said, "Too much time has passed, and it's difficult to find concrete evidence to convict them unless the Yan Pagoda is demolished. But that's almost impossible. The Yan Pagoda is now a landmark building in Beijing, and the government won't demolish it easily."
That's right, the feasibility here is too low.
Xie Nanzhi steadied herself and said, "Let's think of other ways and wait for Wei Chizheng. If he can regain his memory, we still need him to make the decision."
Mu Lin said, "My sister-in-law is so thoughtful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xibei called. Seeing this, Mulin left the office first.
Xie Nanzhi pressed the answer button, and Xibei couldn't wait to speak, "Nanzhi, the neurosurgeon you asked me to find for you has been found. When are you free? I'll schedule an appointment for you."
This was good news, and Xie Nanzhi's gloomy expression improved considerably. "As soon as possible, I can't wait."
Xibei: "Okay, I'll let you know when we agree on a time."
After ending the call, Xie Nanzhi leaned heavily back in her chair, feeling somewhat tired—a kind of inexplicable fatigue.
To be honest, Xie Nanzhi didn't know how long she could hold on. What if Wei Chizheng could never regain his memory and could never fall in love with her?
The road ahead was uncertain, and she couldn't see the end.
All we can do now is take it one step at a time.
Before she knew it, her two children's birthdays were approaching. As every year, Xie Nanzhi was preparing to hold a birthday party at home, and she started preparing a week in advance.
As the godparents of the two children, Zhou Mubin and Xibei both take their birthdays very seriously.
In addition, no matter how busy he is every year, Tie Tou will always rush back to prepare a surprise for the two children. Mu Lin, needless to say, would love to pluck the stars from the sky for the children.
A few days before her birthday, Xie Nanzhi went to a social event. She originally asked Xie Yuanyang to accompany her, but after he hesitated for a long time, she realized that Xie Yuanyang had been taking care of Luo Meijuan at the hospital recently.
She seemed to have forgotten that Luo Meijuan had been beaten into the hospital by Cui Yong's domestic violence.
Xie Nanzhi said nothing and went to the appointment alone.
In Hong Kong, Xie Nanzhi held a very important position; the banquet could only be considered to have officially begun once she arrived.
Among the group of men, Xie Nanzhi stood out from the crowd, and few dared to disagree with her decisions.
Midway through, Xie Nanzhi went to the restroom. When she returned, the door was ajar. She heard people inside talking about her, but she didn't rush in.
She leaned against the wall, a cigarette between her fingers.
"Damn it, I never thought I'd be outdone by a woman. It's so frustrating."
"There's no use in feeling resentful. She has developed too rapidly in the past three years, leaving us far behind. Now she is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and her words are law."
"What a load of bull! If she ever piss me off, I'll have someone take care of her and see how arrogant she is then!"
...
The group was talking inside, while Xie Nanzhi was outside the door, smoking and laughing.
Suddenly, someone approached. "So Miss Nan likes to eavesdrop."
Xie Nanzhi glanced sideways and, sure enough, it was Wei Chizheng.
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Eating my own melon, of course I'll eat it online."
Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Wei Chizheng roughly guessed that this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
She was also aware that these people disapproved of her way of doing things.
Xie Nanzhi faced Wei Chizheng with a strong aggressive attitude, "I like the way they can't stand me but can't do anything about it."
During this period, Wei Chizheng heard a lot about Xie Nanzhi's deeds in Hong Kong, and his opinion of her changed to some extent.
A woman has to work several times harder than a man to build the career she has today.
Xie Nanzhi exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke, and the next second, Wei Chi snatched the cigarette from her fingertips.
With a hint of displeasure in his deep pupils and a slight furrow in his handsome, sword-like eyebrows, Wei Chizheng said in a deep voice, "I've told you before, smoking is bad for a woman's health."
Immediately, Xie Nanzhi reached out and grabbed his burgundy tie, pulling him down. "Then, by what right did you steal my cigarette?"
