Chapter 118 First Touch
Xu Zhengnan was unmoved. Even though I was not nice, he remained calm. "Because Aunt Bai asked me to take care of you for her. She is not available most of the time."
I was speechless for a moment. Because of my father, it was not convenient for my mother and I to meet. I could understand that, but why did Xu Zhengnan have to take care of me?
Even if you are taking care of me, you can't ask about my private affairs like this.
I said coldly, "I'm fine. I don't need you to take care of me. Just pay the balance."
"It looks like you need money." Xu Zhengnan looked at me anxiously and laughed, "Chen Yixiao doesn't give you money? You have to use your mother's bank card to collect money. It seems that your assets are not transparent enough."
"You don't need to worry about whether our property is transparent. Don't ask so many questions. Just give me the balance." I urged him.
The more I urged, the more Xu Zhengnan dragged his feet and refused to give it to me.
The shop assistants had already brought over twenty sets of tea sets and were waiting for my instructions. It must be very funny to see me jumping up and down to ask for the balance, so I asked them to wait for me in the car.
After the clerk left, I felt a little embarrassed and said to Xu Zhengnan with a sullen face, "Give me the money!"
"Tell me first what happened between you and Shen Yixiao." Xu Zhengnan replied slowly.
I was so annoyed. "What do you want from us? I've known you for so long, how come I didn't notice that you were so nosy?"
Since childhood, Xu Zhengnan has never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, nor does he like to watch the fun. He doesn't like to waste his energy on unnecessary people and things. I am the opposite of him. It is because I like to meddle in other people's affairs that I got into trouble with Shen Yixiao.
After so many years, Xu Zhengnan's personality has quietly changed, and I haven't adapted to it yet.
Xu Zhengnan lowered his head and met my eyes. From this angle, his eyelashes were incredibly long, and the slightly upturned corners of his eyes had a hint of arrogance. He stopped smiling and spoke very seriously, "I hope you get a divorce. Is a stinky fish in the mud worth your lingering? There are so many divorced people now, and no one is forcing you to be faithful to one person."
Of course I want a divorce, but I don’t want Xu Zhengnan to interfere in my divorce!
"If you don't pay, I will take all these tea sets back now, and your deposit will not be refunded." I was furious. Shen Yixiao was a rotten fish and shrimp, and I was completely blind.
I felt like Xu Zhengnan was playing a trick on me.
After saying that, I turned around and left, wanting to move the tea sets. Xu Zhengnan reached out and grabbed my wrist, "Explain clearly."
I looked down at his hand in surprise. This was the first time we had such physical contact since he returned to China. The warmth of his palm against my wrist made me panic.
"I only have one thing to say: don't meddle in my business." I broke free from his hand, my voice a little unnatural.
Then I hurried to move the tea set, and Xu Zhengnan followed me. He took the tea set from my hand and put it back on the ground. Then, with a serious face, he took out his mobile phone and transferred the balance to the bank card I gave him.
He showed me the transfer page and said in a much colder tone than before, "You can go now."
After he paid the balance, I started to feel a little awkward because I had been so aggressive and ungrateful just now.
Just as I was about to leave quietly, he stopped me again, "Aunt Bai had a high fever last night and should be in the hospital now. She didn't tell you because she didn't want you to worry."
Hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened, "Which hospital?"
"I'm just about to go over, you can come with me." Xu Zhengnan took his coat, ignored my answer, and just walked outside.
I immediately followed him and sent a message to the store clerk, asking them to drive my car back to the store first.
——
After arriving at the hospital with Xu Zhengnan, when we were almost at the door of the ward, I saw my father walking out with Li Qingming.
I immediately stepped back into the elevator.
The elevator continued to move upwards, separating Xu Zhengnan and me.
I randomly found a floor to go out, and then I received a message from Xu Zhengnan: You can come down.
My father must have passed away, so I returned to that floor with peace of mind and found my mother's ward.
Xu Zhengnan was talking to my mother in the ward. My mother was surprised to see me. He explained, "I said it, Aunt Bai."
"Don't tell her, I'm fine..." It's only been two or three days since I last saw my mother, and her face has become smaller and she looks much more haggard. It's obvious that she is not feeling well.
I felt so distressed that I hurried over to her and asked, "Mom, are you feeling better? Is your fever gone?"
"It's gone away, but there's still some inflammation that hasn't gone down. Don't worry. Just now your dad..." My mother glanced at the door worriedly.
I replied, "Don't worry, he didn't see me."
My mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "He is so stubborn..."
I know what she means. My dad is very stubborn about the matter between Shen Yixiao and me. My mom must have tried to persuade him to forgive me, but failed.
At this time, my mother started coughing again, and it seemed quite serious. After asking, I found out that she had developed pneumonia due to the high fever and needed to be hospitalized for a few days. The disease was not serious nor light, but it needed to be treated well.
Xu Zhengnan saw me chatting with my mother and left the ward.
Half an hour later, I was worried that my dad would come back, so I left first. Xu Zhengnan came with me and prepared to take me to the store.
"lady!"
As soon as I reached the elevator, Lu Xiaoyun's voice rang out.
I turned around and saw her standing not far behind us. She was wearing a black sweater jacket over a brown turtleneck sweater and black slim jeans. She looked fresh and sweet.
This outfit is surprisingly similar to what I'm wearing today.
She had a smile on her face and her eyes looked back and forth between Xu Zhengnan and me.
My heart sank. Why did I meet her here again?
Of course Xu Zhengnan also knew this golden secretary of Shen Yixiao. His face was as calm as water, and no emotion could be seen. He just looked at Lu Xiaoyun approaching with a distance.
"Is this Mr. Xu Zhengnan?" Lu Xiaoyun recognized Xu Zhengnan and smiled sweetly, "I heard from Mr. Shen that he once had a strong rival in love. He was the wife's...first love?"
Hearing her words, my tone was tinged with a hint of warning, "Secretary Lu, don't gossip about things you are not sure about. Not everyone is like you, and is so accepting of chaotic relationships between men and women."
The smile on Lu Xiaoyun's face faded, and she said angrily, "I only have one boyfriend, why are my relationships with men and women confused?"
"I've never seen the boyfriend you're talking about. Maybe he's fictional. Secretary Lu, I have something else to do. Goodbye." After I said that, I winked at Xu Zhengnan. I didn't want him to have anything to do with someone like Lu Xiaoyun.
Fortunately, he followed my steps and did not linger.
