Chapter 4 Who told your dog to be so disobedient? Damn it!
Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed in Pei Jingchuan's eyes. "Nanzhi, don't be unreasonable. This is a very troublesome matter, and I have to go."
Although she couldn't see him, she could hear his annoyance.
Xie Nanzhi, abandoning her usual understanding demeanor, pressed on relentlessly, "The company employs so many people, are they all just sitting around doing nothing? Do you have to do everything yourself?"
The next second, Pei Jingchuan flung Xie Nanzhi's hand away, his brows furrowing in a dark expression. "Nanzhi, aren't you being a little unreasonable? I just went to the company to handle an emergency. What are you doing? Don't take advantage of your pregnancy."
He panicked.
In their haste, they forgot to hide their true selves.
Hearing the sound of a car engine downstairs, Xie Nanzhi felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She knew perfectly well what Pei Jingchuan's purpose was in marrying her, and she knew perfectly well that he didn't love her, but she still felt sad.
After about ten minutes, Xie Nanzhi made a desperate decision and picked up her phone to dial a number.
"Hello, is this the city hospital? I'd like to inquire about abortion procedures."
...
After ending the call, Xie Nanzhi's expression was cold and somber.
If you're going to cut ties, you should cut them off cleanly. That would be a kind act for the child.
As expected, Pei Jingchuan did not return home all night.
Around 9 a.m., Pei's chief assistant, Jiang Cheng, found Xie Nanzhi.
Jiang Cheng handed Xie Nanzhi an exquisite red velvet box. "Madam, this is a gift from President Pei, a South China Sea pearl necklace."
Xie Nanzhi took it and stroked each plump pearl, which was round and smooth. A pearl necklace of this quality would be quite expensive.
Xie Nanzhi casually put it down, "Hmm."
Jiang Cheng was somewhat surprised.
Xie Nanzhi didn't react this way every time she came to deliver gifts before.
She was very happy, even ecstatic.
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had ever seen such a cold response.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Nanzhi's expression was indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuation. "No, I'm fine."
The gift was probably chosen by Jiang Cheng, not just this time, but every time before it was Jiang Cheng.
Thinking back on it carefully, although Pei Jingchuan had given her many gifts over the past three years, it seemed that none of them were given to her in person. Sometimes it was Jiang Cheng, sometimes the driver, or sometimes they were delivered directly to her home by courier.
In short, it never passed through Pei Jingchuan's hands.
Forget it, I gave up on him a long time ago, didn't I?
Besides, she will be leaving soon.
Just then, Jiang Cheng said, "Madam, President Pei wants you to remember the Xie family banquet tonight. President Pei will come to pick you up to go together."
I almost forgot, today is the Xie family's monthly family banquet, and Xie Xiyan and she both have to go back.
Moreover, in the three years since their marriage, no matter how busy Pei Jingchuan was, he always made time for her, even more so than she, the adopted daughter of the Xie family.
At the time, she joked that people who didn't know better would think he was Xie's son. Now that I think about it, it was just a legitimate reason for him to take a look at Xie Xiyan.
Xie Nanzhi had already decided to leave and originally didn't intend to put up with their attitude anymore. However, before leaving, there was one person she couldn't let go of: her grandmother.
The Xie family treated her badly, but her grandmother was an exception.
I'm going to the Xie family tonight, and I'll bring the special medicine with me so that Grandma's medication won't be interrupted for a while.
"good."
"Madam, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng left.
In the evening, the housekeeper helped Xie Nanzhi choose clothes. "Madam, would that emerald green cheongsam be alright?"
Xie Nanzhi paused for a moment, then said, "Anything is fine except for a cheongsam."
The aunt who was taking care of Xie Nanzhi was really stunned and didn't quite understand.
Xie Nanzhi reminded her, "What, is it not allowed?"
The aunt quickly replied, "No, Madam is beautiful; she looks good in anything. I'll help Madam choose a nice outfit."
Xie Nanzhi didn't say anything more and sat quietly on the sofa waiting.
bite--
A voice message popped up.
Xie Nanzhi clicked to listen: Wife, take a taxi over, I'm a bit late.
Xie Nanzhi gripped her phone tightly.
Finally, he replied, "I understand."
Once everything was dressed up, the car arrived outside.
As the aunt saw Xie Nanzhi off, she muttered, "Madam, are you sure you're okay traveling alone? And sir, given your special circumstances, it's not safe for you to travel alone."
After saying that, the aunt noticed Xie Nanzhi's pale face and realized that she had said too much, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Xie Nanzhi arrived at the Xie family home at six o'clock in the evening. The afterglow of the sunset painted the sky red, but she could not see such a beautiful scene.
Almost as soon as Xie Nanzhi got off the bus, she heard a familiar voice, "Nanzhi, what a coincidence, you just arrived too."
Xie Nanzhi turned her gaze in the direction of the sound and heard two footsteps.
Besides Xie Xiyan, there is another person.
As Xie Xiyan approached, she also recognized the other person.
Xie Xiyan took her arm. "I drank too much last night and my stomach was upset, so Jingchuan picked me up. We were originally planning to pick you up, but the traffic was too bad, so we didn't go. Nanzhi, you're not angry, are you?"
Pei Jingchuan stood beside Xie Xiyan, and before Xie Nanzhi could say anything, he spoke up, "Nanzhi isn't petty; she won't be angry. Besides, it's just a car ride; taking a taxi would have been the same."
How ridiculous.
She, being blind, didn't need to pick him up, but Xie Xiyan, being able-bodied, had to make a special trip to do so.
Xie Nanzhi gripped the bag chain tightly and let out a soft scoff.
Then he shoved Xie Xiyan's hand away and continued walking forward with his cane.
Xie Xiyan complained, feeling wronged, "Jingchuan, Nanzhi is still angry with me. After all these years, she hasn't changed her petty and narrow-minded ways at all."
Pei Jingchuan was also dissatisfied with Xie Nanzhi's performance just now, his brows furrowed slightly, "Ignore her."
Xie Nanzhi went in first.
As soon as I reached the living room door, I heard a complaining voice, "Why is it you? I thought it was Xiyan."
After saying that, the noblewoman pushed her away and continued to look on with anticipation. When she finally saw the person she had been longing for, her face lit up with a radiant smile.
"Xiyan, Mom has missed you so much! Let Mom see you!"
After Xie Nanzhi staggered a step and regained her balance, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
In the Xie family, she was the most unpopular person; apart from her grandmother, no one wanted to see her.
Actually, when Xie Xiyan was found back then, they planned to kick her out, but fortunately, her grandmother stopped them.
Therefore, the only motivation for Xie Nanzhi to return to the Xie family over the years has been her grandmother.
Immediately afterwards, a figure ran down from upstairs, and as he passed by her, he didn't forget to scold, "Can you stop blocking the road, you blind woman? You're such an eyesore."
Then Xie Yuanyang ran to Xie Xiyan's side and greeted her warmly, "Little sister, you've finally arrived! Mom has been talking about you since this morning. You have no idea how tired I am of it."
Xie Xiyan is the apple of the Xie family's eye. The whole family revolves around her, and she thoroughly enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention, which makes her feel particularly superior.
Therefore, Xie Xiyan's greatest hobby is to snatch things from Xie Nanzhi; anything Xie Nanzhi likes, Xie Xiyan wants to possess for herself.
She remembered that there was a picture book that Mrs. Xie had given her as a birthday gift a long time ago. Xie Xiyan saw it and tried to take it away, but the picture book was torn during the struggle, and Xie Xiyan accidentally fell.
She was locked in a dark room for three days and three nights. By the time the Xie family remembered her, she had already been unconscious for a long time.
Eight years ago, not long after Xie Xiyan was found, Xie Nanzhi had a dog, a little one she had raised since birth, and they had a deep bond with it.
Later, Xie Xiyan tried to catch the dog but was bitten instead. As a result, the next day, the dog's body was found hanging from a tree branch in the yard.
Xie Xiyan smiled sinisterly at her, "Who told your dog to be disobedient? It deserves to die. Xie Nanzhi, you stole eighteen years of my life, so I'll steal the rest of yours. From now on, whatever you like, I'll take it all away."
Such incidents are commonplace. The Xie family always sides with Xie Xiyan, and without asking any questions, they always assume it's her fault and then punish her severely.
In the worst incident, her hand was almost ruined.
In the very end, Xie Xiyan stole her fiancé and her corneas.
Now it seems she intends to not spare her husband either.
