Chapter 286 Jealous of you? You don't even deserve it!
“Zhou Lu said that Auntie was hospitalized, and I happened to be passing by today, so I came to visit her.”
Xie Nanzhi didn't know the purpose of Jin Moli's trip, but one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and besides, Zhou Mubin's face had to be given.
Xie Nanzhi made way for her, "Come in."
Jin Moli walked into the ward in her stiletto heels. Her skirt swept lightly across the door frame with her movements, bringing in a scent of gardenia perfume that clashed somewhat with the smell of disinfectant in the ward.
She placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, and her gaze returned to Xie Nanzhi.
"Is Auntie's condition under control?"
Xie Nanzhi gave a simple "hmm," waiting for her to reveal the true purpose of her trip.
Jin Moli spoke gently, smoothing the stray hairs at her temples. Her nails were painted with milk tea-colored nail polish. "Nanzhi, Auntie is sleeping. Let's go outside and talk."
Xie Nanzhi shared the same sentiment; she didn't want this woman to disturb Wang Shufen's rest.
Jin Moli walked in front, with Xie Nanzhi following behind. At the same time, she quietly took out her phone.
The ward next door was empty, and Jin Moli went in without thinking.
She unceremoniously found a seat and sat down. "Miss Nan must have been having a very tough time lately."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Xie Nanzhi from head to toe, finally settling on her haggard face. "As a daughter myself, I completely understand Miss Nan's feelings."
Xie Nanzhi moved aside, but didn't sit down or say anything.
She crossed her arms over her shoulders, glancing at Jin Moli out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that Xie Nanzhi was ignoring her, Jin Moli's smile disappeared. "But what I don't understand is, you're so busy, how do you still have time to meddle in other people's business?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Nanzhi caught a glimpse of her cold face out of the corner of her eye, but her smile didn't fade in the slightest. "Mind your own business. How come I didn't know?"
Jin Moli suddenly stood up. "Dare you say you haven't contacted Zhou Mubin recently? Dare you say you haven't spoken ill of me? Dare you say you haven't encouraged us to break up?"
Seeing Jin Moli's anger and embarrassment, Xie Nanzhi laughed even louder, "Jin Moli, do you have paranoia? Who do you think you are that I would go to such lengths to deal with you?"
Jin Moli didn't believe her words at all, convinced that Zhou Mubin's coldness towards her these past two days was all due to Xie Nanzhi and Xibei's instigation.
Moreover, there was a precedent for this; last time, Zhou Mubin stayed up late to see these two women.
Everyone says you should get along well with your partner's friends, and Jin Moli had thought about it before, but these two just wouldn't give her a chance, especially Xibei, whose sharp tongue was like it was poisoned; she wouldn't utter a sound once she heard it.
If this continues, they'll ruin everything sooner or later.
That's why Jin Moli took advantage of her lunch break to come to the hospital to find Xie Nanzhi.
Unexpectedly, the woman refused to admit it.
Jin Moli broke down, "Nanzhi, you know in your heart whether you did it or not. Actually, I just don't understand one thing: you're already married and have children, so why can't you stand to see your childhood friend doing well? What good does it do you to hurt others like this?"
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "Can't stand to see him doing well? He's doing well with you? I don't see that at all?"
Jin Moli: "To put it bluntly, you just look down on me. Nanzhi, you're a mother too. You know how difficult it is to be a single mother. I finally met my true love, and you all reject me just because I'm divorced and have a child. But what about you? Aren't you divorced and have two children too? What right do you have to look down on me?"
Jin Moli spoke excitedly and reached out to push Xie Nanzhi, but Xie Nanzhi dodged her without batting an eye.
Xie Nanzhi sneered, "Want to make a move?"
Jin Moli gritted her teeth, clenching her fists. "Xie Nanzhi, you're no better. You look down on me, but at least my children are my ex-husband's. And you? Your private life is so chaotic, and those two children aren't even your current man's. They might be illegitimate children you had with some other man..."
With a sharp "smack," Xie Nanzhi's slap landed crisply. Jin Moli was knocked off her feet and stumbled backward, her lower back hitting the edge of the bed with another muffled groan.
Jin Moli looked pained. "You, you dare to hit me."
Xie Nanzhi stretched out the hand that had just slapped her, her palm still numb. She slowly looked at Jin Moli and deliberately raised her voice, "Hit me if you want, do you think I have to wait for the weather to hit you?"
Jin Moli was furious, her eyes stinging as she glared at Xie Nanzhi. "Nanzhi, don't be so arrogant. I'm Zhou Mubin's girlfriend. Even if you're his childhood friend, he won't tolerate you humiliating me."
Xie Nanzhi laughed after hearing this, but the laughter didn't reach her eyes. "Zhou Mubin's girlfriend?"
She slowly repeated those words, drawing out the last syllable, her gaze sweeping over Jin Moli's furious eyes. "Then you'd better remember this, lest you change your identity one day and still use these words as a shield."
Jin Moli's heart skipped a beat at her words, and she immediately took a half-step forward, her chest heaving violently. "You bitch, are you still trying to sow discord?"
Jin Moli's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. "You bitch, you just can't stand seeing others do well. You're just jealous of me."
"envy?"
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow, then suddenly took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them. The faint smell of disinfectant mixed with a hint of coldness emanating from her overpowered the perfume on Jin Moli. "When I met Zhou Mubin, you were still wearing diapers somewhere. Jealous of you? You don't even deserve it!"
Having learned from past mistakes, Jin Moli instinctively protected her face.
Xie Nanzhi smiled, her voice as cold as ice, "Don't worry, I won't hit you. Don't be scared like a grandson."
She stared coldly at Jin Moli, the numbness in her palm still lingering. "This slap today is to teach you how to behave. If you dare to yell at me again, next time, I guarantee you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Jin Moli shrank back, startled by the coldness in her eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she took out her phone to dial a number. "I'll call Zhou Lu right now and let him judge this! I want to see if he'll side with you, his childhood friend, or protect me, his girlfriend."
Xie Nanzhi shrugged indifferently, "Go ahead and fight, I'm waiting."
After saying that, she turned around and sat down on the accompanying chair next to her, crossing her legs. "It'll be good for him to hear how his good girlfriend comes to provoke someone when they are sick, and even turns around and blames them."
Then, she looked up at Jin Moli's hand, which was frozen in mid-air, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. "What? You don't dare to hit him? Afraid that he'll find out your true self and you won't even be able to keep your status as his 'girlfriend'?"
Jin Moli's fingers hovered over the phone screen for a long time, the trembling of her fingertips betraying her inner turmoil.
