Chapter 165 Nanzi
Chapter 165 Nanzi
Chapter 165 Nanzi
"Stop messing around, this is my older brother's house!"
Xia Chengjun slapped away Alvis's mischievous hand.
This kid's got a screw loose; he's blinded by lust.
They're either in heat or on their way to heat.
Alvis pitifully withdrew his hand.
"I just helped you and got hurt, and you don't even care about me!"
Xia Chengjun was helpless; this man was always good at playing the victim to gain sympathy.
He reached out and ruffled Alvis's hair.
"Yes, I feel sorry for you, but come on, a grown man shouldn't always act like a baby."
"knew."
You'll do it again next time, because you're the one who falls for this.
Alvis was playing right into Xia Chengjun's stubborn but soft-hearted personality.
She usually appears aloof and self-centered, precious yet carefree.
She has a tougher tongue than anyone else, but a softer heart than anyone else.
If it weren't for his persistent pestering and coaxing, how could we have gotten to eat meat?
Zhou Ran changed her clothes and came out of the room.
He saw Xia Chenggan, who had changed his clothes, running towards him.
Zhou Ran rushed downstairs first.
He thought to himself, "That bastard Xia Chengan is either going crazy or on his way to going crazy."
"Wait for me!"
Xia Chenggan chased after him.
Seeing the second son and Alvis looking over from the sofa, he stopped and walked over steadily.
What's going on with you guys?
Xia Chenggan's gaze lingered on their clasped hands.
"You two are together?"
"No! I heard you were assassinated and in a car accident. How are you feeling? Is Fourth Brother alright?"
Xia Chengjun spoke first about their relationship.
"I'm fine, I just had amnesia for a while and have just recovered. My mind is still a bit muddled. The fourth one was more seriously injured. He survived, had surgery, and it was quite successful. He's still lying in bed and hasn't woken up yet."
"That's good. I'm relieved that everything's alright. I'll go see Lao Si tomorrow. After this experience, let's see if he'll learn his lesson. He's so naive and trusts everyone every day."
Alvis looked at Xia Chengjun with a somewhat forlorn expression.
When will he be recognized?
He wasn't greedy; he just wanted the position of the empress.
Ilvis looked at Zhou Ran with envy in his eyes.
Look at the eldest sister-in-law's methods; she quickly rose to the position of the main wife.
They even managed to completely control their capable elder brother.
They've already resorted to family discipline.
If he had any real talent, he wouldn't still be just a bed partner.
This is a good opportunity to learn a few more tricks from my sister-in-law.
Zhou Ran felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yalvis.
Give him a sharp glare to make him behave.
Alvis responded with a fawning smile.
From now on, my sister-in-law will be in charge of this family.
Xia Chengjun warned Alvis to tone it down.
Alvis sat down obediently with a smile.
Xia Chenggan understood; this situation was called "one thing subdues another."
Zhou Ran sat down next to Xia Chenggan, facing Xia Chengjun.
"Were you attacked? Are you injured?"
As soon as they came in, Zhou Ran smelled blood, though it was faint, indicating that there had been a minor explosion.
Xia Chengjun nodded.
They recounted what happened to them in detail.
Their purpose this time was to act as bait.
The person behind this is too cunning and wary.
They only found the approximate location.
"It's alright, leave the rest to your brother. He's familiar with this area, so it'll be easier for him to find someone."
Zhou Ran took over the cleanup work for Xia Chengan.
That way, he won't have nothing to do all day and will always pester him and do silly things.
"I'm still sick."
Xia Chenggan was about to make a further excuse when Zhou Ran stopped him with a look.
Being the eldest brother means being a busybody; he has to manage everything.
"You should continue to pretend to disappear for now and try not to appear in public. Let your older brother be in the open while you stay in the shadows so that it will be easier to investigate."
"Understood, sister-in-law."
Seeing that they wanted to continue talking, Zhou Ran got up and left.
"I have other things to do, you guys continue."
Zhou Ran walked away without looking back.
Xia Chengjun looked at Xia Chenggan with curiosity.
"Big brother, why has your sister-in-law's attitude towards you changed so much? If I didn't know it was you who had amnesia, I would have thought it was him who had amnesia."
She used to be so good to her older brother, always thinking of him first.
He used to be so eager to rush up and shield his older brother from danger, but now he's so cold-hearted.
"It's nothing, he's angry. He found out I staged the injury, and he's throwing a tantrum."
"Big brother, you're amazing! You actually staged your own injury? A self-inflicted injury ploy?"
Xia Chengjun felt something was amiss when he was abroad.
He thought there was a mole working inside, but now it seems that the mole is his older brother.
"Your attempt to feign injury didn't work. Instead, it backfired and you ended up hurting yourself. It's a losing proposition."
It was rare to see his elder brother's scheme fail, and Xia Chengjun was delighted, his schadenfreude practically written all over his face.
"Who said it failed? It was still effective. You're blind, kid."
If it weren't for his self-inflicted injury, Zhou Ran would probably have disappeared from his life in less than half a month.
Since that time when the world's consciousness was erased, Zhou Ran has remained calm.
I didn't contact him to discuss the contract, nor did I leave voluntarily.
His calm demeanor was unlike his usual style.
This is too abnormal; something fishy must be going on.
After investigating, he found that the man had indeed made arrangements for his escape.
And he plans to disappear completely, erasing all traces of his existence.
Such decisiveness is more in line with Zhou Ran's style.
He tried various methods to sabotage Zhou Ran's plan, but all attempts failed.
This assassination attempt, carried out opportunistically, was both a test and an attempt to retain him.
At least it was a success.
He successfully made Zhou Ran aware of it.
Zhou Ran wasn't entirely uninterested in Xia Chenggan.
Zhou Ran was angry because of him.
Zhou Ran was angered that someone dared to plot against Xia Chenggan behind her back.
Zhou Ran was angry that Xia Chenggan, who had amnesia and didn't recognize her.
The unexpected turn of events that deviated from the plan angered Zhou Ran.
The absence of Xia Chenggan in her life made Zhou Ran angry.
During the period when Xia Chenggan suffered from amnesia.
Zhou Ran was angrier than she had been for the past few months.
The reason for this is that he started to care.
He discovered that Zhou Ran was so smart.
That made me even angrier.
Xia Chenggan did not regret doing so.
He deliberately provoked Zhou Ran.
He wanted Zhou Ran to realize how much he cared.
Only then can he truly keep him.
Otherwise, Zhou Ran's intelligence and forbearance would be a problem.
Even if Xia Chenggan used all his power to imprison people.
Zhou Ran also has the ability to turn the tide against all odds.
Then it will be too late for them.
Xia Chenggan understood this, which is why wise people don't set up cages.
Instead, they opened the cage door.
He will have Zhou Ran stay behind personally.
Xia Chengjun asked
"Zhou Ran seems pretty happy. What did he go to do?"
"Meeting my lover!"
These three words were squeezed out by Xia Chenggan through gritted teeth.
He really is his good brother; he'll stab you in the back.
Seeing Xia Chenggan's dark face, Xia Chengjun smiled awkwardly and pulled the bewildered Alvis upstairs to rest.
That idiot Alvis still asked Xia Chengjun out of curiosity.
"What lover? Isn't Zhou Ran's lover her older brother? Could it be that her sister-in-law is having an affair?"
"Shut up, why ask so many questions? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Aren't you injured? You need to rest."
Xia Chenggan slammed his fist on the sofa.
He wanted to cause trouble, but then remembered Zhou Ran's warning.
I had no choice but to call Qi Ying and tell him to keep a close eye on things.
He forbids anyone from having any designs on his wife.
Qi Ying looked troubled upon receiving the order.
The key issue is that his wife isn't a lover, she's a mistress!
Moreover, it wasn't someone else who approached his wife; it was his wife who was grabbing onto the young girl and wouldn't let go.
Has his boss fallen out of favor?!
Zhou Ran rushed excitedly towards Nan Zi and grabbed Nan Zi's hand.
Nanzi excitedly rushed over and gave him a big hug.
Zhou Ran paused for a moment, then smiled and hugged Nan Zi back.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Nanzi was worried that something might happen to Zhou Ran; the male celebrity at the banquet looked like he had ill intentions.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright. How are you? I never expected to run into you at the banquet!"
Zhou Ran slightly increased the distance between them; he disliked being too close to people.
The perfume on Nan Zi smelled rather pungent, and he found it unpleasant.
"I was pulled there at the last minute, and I didn't expect to run into you. I hope that male celebrity hasn't bothered you anymore?"
Zhou Ran shook her head.
"No, I know him. He has no ill intentions and is a very good person."
"Hmph, you're just too kind, that's why you got fooled. There are no good people in the entertainment industry."
Nanzi opened the video on her phone and handed it over.
"Look, this video suddenly went viral online. That man is a scumbag who messes around with women everywhere."
Zhou Ran took the phone and checked its contents.
It wasn't one of those he had seen before.
This is a censored video; it's likely that Nanzi secretly downloaded it to show him as evidence.
Zhou Ran pretended to be flustered and returned the phone.
He even explained on Guan Yi's behalf.
“I contacted him, and he said he was drugged and filmed, and that he was also threatened. He is the victim.”
Nanzi looked at him with a disappointed expression.
This little cutie is great in every way, except she's too naive and a bit too much of a saint.
How can you believe what this trash says?
They caught them in bed together, yet they claimed they were forced into it.
In the video, Guan Yi's eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of confusion.
It doesn't look like she's been drugged.
Guan Yi looked completely satisfied, showing no sign of helplessness or humiliation at being forced into this situation.
This clumsy lie can only fool innocent children like my little cutie.
"Nanzi, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Then let's not talk about him."
Zhou Ran spoke gently, her face full of innocent romance.
He seemed like a naive student.
Qi Ying saw Zhou Ran's appearance from a car not far away.
I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
Their wife is such a good actress; she brought the naive and innocent girl to life so vividly.
If this were made into a movie, it would definitely win an award.
Qi Ying quickly took a picture and sent the picture of his wife's heroic figure to his boss.
His boss gets slapped every day, but he's still happy as a bee, and he adores his wife.
Seeing such a cute and cuddly appearance would make your mouth water.
Xia Chenggan nearly fainted from anger when he received the photos.
He would glare at her coldly, and if a slap wasn't enough, he'd kick her.
Treat those with treacherous ambitions with a gentle smile and offer meticulous advice.
That's unfair! It's so unfair!
Just as Xia Chenggan was looking for trouble.
The phone rang.
Xia Chenggan frowned when he saw the note above.
Why did Gu Tingxiao suddenly think of calling him?
He claimed to be recuperating from an illness.
Gu Tingxiao should also know about his amnesia.
The matters concerning the cooperation and the company have all been handed over to his father.
Why did you suddenly call him?
Are you concerned about him?
Nobody would believe that! Author's note: Thanks to my mentor 9492239 for their support, muah! To find out more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
