When Xiang Nanzhiai wore loose-fitting clothes, it was basically impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
"Sister Qiu, you got married?"
What does your husband do?
"My husband works on a construction site."
"You can make a lot of money on construction sites, right, manager?"
Xiang Nanzhi curled her lips into a smile. She didn't want to mention Shen Shixun right now. "Let's order a soup, we must order a soup, three stir-fried dishes, one cold dish, and preferably a dessert."
"Can we finish eating all of this?"
"Lunch should at least be like this."
She's the boss, she makes the decisions, she's not one to compromise, and she won't make herself suffer.
But mood affects appetite, and Xiang Nanzhi didn't eat much at noon. Song Ze sent her several messages apologizing, and she was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone, but she calmed down and said, "Don't contact me again."
After sending those four words, I immediately blocked them completely.
For several days, the two ignored each other. Xiang Nanzhi didn't know where Shen Shixun had moved to. While eating at home, she casually asked, "Have you been to Shen Shixun's place?"
Xiang Ciyuan was taken aback by her question. "Didn't I go there before when I came to see you? That lousy place... tsk tsk..."
Xiang Jingyi sensed something was wrong, "Zhizhi, did you two fight again?"
"No."
"He dares to argue with you?" Xiang Ciyuan rubbed his cheek. "He's a live-in son-in-law, how dare he argue with you?"
"Ciyuan, watch your words."
"What did I say wrong?"
Shen Shixun is a good person, but being a good person doesn't mean he'll side with outsiders. "If he makes you unhappy and then acts innocent after getting the benefit, tell me, and I'll show him how I deal with him."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nanzhi became anxious. "Second brother, don't do anything rash. Shen Shixun is a very proud person. Don't use those tricks on him."
"Self-respect?"
"If my dad hadn't helped me with this project, would he have gotten it? Would he even have had this opportunity?"
“Even if he doesn’t take charge of your project, Zhang Yandong will find something for him to do.”
"He was just lucky to have met Zhang Yandong."
Xiang Ciyuan belittled Shen Shixun to nothing, and Xiang Nanzhi added, "You don't understand at all. Shen Shixun knows a lot of things, but he just doesn't want to stand out or do certain things. He's used to being free and undisciplined."
Xiang Nanzhi became serious with Xiang Ciyuan, "I'm not like you."
After saying that, Xiang Nanzhi turned and left. Xiang Ciyuan stood there, bewildered. "Did she eat explosives?"
Did they have a fight or not? He was still thinking of standing up for her.
Xiang Nanzhi also realized that she had overreacted. She had been looking forward to his return every day, calling him every day. When he finally came back, she hadn't even had a chance to be affectionate with him to ease her longing. And then, because of Song Ze, things turned out this way.
In the late afternoon, one of Master Zhou's men came to invite Xiang Nanzhi over for tea, but Xiang Nanzhi refused, saying, "Pregnant women can't drink tea."
"Second Master specially prepared tea that pregnant women can drink."
Xiang Nan thought to herself, "These antiques are usually protected by Master Zhou, so how could I not go?"
She didn't know his identity at first, but after buying the batch of jade at a high price, she learned from the merchants in the surrounding shops who had asked her about it, and that's when she found out who had sold her this batch of top-quality goods.
They all say that Master Zhou is a ruthless man who only cares about making money and eating meat, and won't even give them a drop of soup.
In the years when regulations weren't so strict, he would demand protection money, breathing fees, and all sorts of other fees.
Things have gotten better in recent years, but these vendors are still very afraid of him.
Xiang Nanzhi had no idea that Zhou Erye was that kind of person. The person sitting opposite her was clearly the old player who would solve her problems.
"Miss Xiang, I'd like to talk to you about something."
He always called her Miss Rachel; she never mentioned that her surname was Xiang.
Zhou Erye had someone bring over some things. "I want to talk to President Xiang, and I'd like you to make a phone call for me."
Xiang Nanzhi was stunned, "You..."
Master Zhou poured her some tea. "Please understand, Miss Xiang, that we people in this line of work cannot make casual contacts without thoroughly investigating their backgrounds."
Xiang Nanzhi sat in his seat, the faint aroma of tea filling his nostrils. Looking at the group of people behind him, he couldn't help but laugh. "So you've always known who I am."
"You knew that we were chatting in the group before?"
"I didn't know from the group chat."
Master Zhou told the truth, "I only found out after you bought that jade."
If it wasn't bought by Xiang Nanzhi, but by an ordinary person, then he could use his position to get the person to come back and do things for him, solving his problems.
Fortunately, he didn't do that, and he also made two friends at the same time.
"Who do you want to see, my dad or my older brother?"
The business that Master Zhou did was not exactly respectable and was not entirely innocent, but it cannot be said that he was entirely innocent either.
This guy successfully transitioned from the underworld to legitimate business, but he was still criticized for not being able to change some of his unspeakable bad habits.
"Ms. Xiang, we are friends, and I hope we can continue to get along as friends, just like before."
So it was no coincidence that Master Zhou found her a shop and provided her with goods; everything he did for her was because she was a young lady from the Xiang family.
Now that he's making a request, she can't refuse to help.
"Speak, what do you want? What do you want from the Xiang family?"
Xiang Nanzhi asked very directly, but he was too impolite. Just as A Ding was about to say something, Zhou Erye gestured for him to shut up.
“Miss Xiang, the Xiang family is in the coal mining business, and I would like to cooperate with the Xiang family on a coal mining business.”
"Really? Where did Second Master discover the coal mine?"
