After explaining his purpose, Zhang Yandong smiled and said, "I don't know what he's thinking. It's one thing to have a good relationship, but some things are his own decisions, not mine."
"You didn't know about this? He didn't tell you?"
“I did say that, and I also advised him to sign it quickly. He probably wants to wait until Xiang Nanzhi is completely out of confinement, just like you are thinking, not wanting to make her too sad.”
Zhang Yandong and Shen Shixun are in cahoots; if Xiang Jingyi believed such nonsense, he'd be a fool.
"If that's what he thinks, he can just sign it first."
“I don’t know how you communicated with him, but…” Zhang Yandong looked at the teacup in his hand, “It’s heartless to kick someone out as soon as the child is born. Using Xiang Nanzhi’s wrestling as a reason is even more unnecessary. Why is Xiang Nanzhi’s wrestling always Shixun’s responsibility?”
“When couples quarrel, if it’s Sehun’s turn, he gets hit, scolded, and insulted by you. But if it’s Xiang Nanzhi’s turn, everyone protects her. It’s really unfair.”
"What qualifications does he have to compare with Zhizhi?"
Xiang Jing asked bluntly, "Zhang Yandong, he saved your life, but don't take it too seriously."
"If I don't even value the kindness of someone who saved my life, am I even human?"
In this matter, Zhang Yandong already felt very guilty towards Shen Shixun. The Xiang family had too much power, and he couldn't openly oppose them. So he had to have his people withdraw from the farm that they had agreed to invest in halfway through. But in his relationship with Xiang Nanzhi, he couldn't help at all.
Xiang Jingyi was unwilling to have much conversation with him and got up to leave. Zhang Yandong suddenly said, "Keeping Shen Shixun is not because your Xiang family is merciful. Whether or not to keep Shen Shixun is not entirely up to the Xiang family. He is also a person."
“I will get him to sign as soon as possible, but Zhang Yandong, don’t try anything behind my back, I won’t hold back.”
Shen Shixun was also afraid that he would drag Zhang Yandong down, so he was extra careful. He used Rooney's name to handle all the procedures for opening the farm, in order to prevent the Xiang family from finding out.
As for the debt owed to Zhang Yandong, although it was a huge sum for him, it was just a drop in the ocean for Zhang Yandong. He also borrowed the money from Zhang Yandong in Rooney's name, and transferred it to other accounts in the meantime to avoid attracting attention.
As soon as Xiang Jingyi left, Zhang Yandong couldn't help but call him. "The Xiang family can't sit still anymore. If you don't sign immediately, they might take action."
"They've already made their move."
Shen Shixun suspected that the Xiang family had secretly sabotaged him at the hospital.
Zhang Yandong couldn't help but curse, "Then when are you going back to the ancient city?"
“I’ve changed my mind. I don’t need you to work with me from the inside. I want Xiang Nanzhi to come to the ancient city behind the Xiang family’s back. I will leave with the child, and she won’t be able to find me.”
He had never brought Xiang Nanzhi to this farm before.
She was also very aware that nomadic people love to migrate, going wherever they can. The uninhabited areas of Saigon alone are incredibly large, and there are so many unknown wild animals.
"This is the last time we'll contact each other. I'll be changing my number."
In the ancient city, Zhang Yandong helped him a lot. "Brother Dong, I will find a way to pay back the money I owe you."
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
The risk was too great. Zhang Yandong couldn't help but feel worried for him. "If the Xiang family catches him, do you know what will happen to you?"
"No matter what, I'm going to take the children with me."
He loves Xiang Nanzhi and can no longer have room for any other woman in his heart. Xiang Nanzhi may forget him soon, and one day she may even feel disgusted by the child she had with him.
He couldn't let his son suffer; children of the grasslands should naturally grow up running and playing on the grasslands.
When things didn't go well, Xiang Zhengyi berated Xiang Jingyi, who could only endure it. "I'll put more pressure on him in the next few days and make sure he signs it."
"We can't wait any longer."
“I understand. You said before that you didn’t want things to get too ugly and that you would try to talk to him nicely. Since talking nicely didn’t work, we had to resort to special measures.”
After Xiang Jingyi finished speaking with Xiang Zhengyi, he was leaving the study when he encountered Xiang Nanzhi, who was wearing pajamas, walking towards him.
"Big brother..."
"What are you doing here? Go back to your room and rest."
"I'm not sleeping anymore. I've been here for a whole month, and I can't take it anymore. I should be able to finish my postpartum confinement tomorrow. I'm all recovered."
Xiang Nanzhi still had slender arms and legs, the demeanor of a young girl, and there was no sign that she had given birth.
As she reached the study door and was about to knock, Xiang Jingyi grabbed her hand. "What do you need Dad for?"
"It's nothing, I'm just talking to my dad."
Xiang Nanzhi pulled his hand out, knocked on the door, and then opened it to go inside.
They didn't really say anything, just chatted about everyday things. Xiang Nanzhi was planning to tell Xiang Zhengyi that he wanted to take Xiang Yun back to Latu to see Shen Shixun's mother and family, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that his father would most likely not agree.
"What would you like to eat tomorrow? I'll have the kitchen arrange it."
"Let's talk again tomorrow night. I want to sleep one last day tomorrow, so Dad, you and my older brother don't need to stay home with me."
"Okay, you can make your own arrangements."
——
The next morning, the old house was empty. Xiang Nanzhi sent Ma Xiaorong to the kitchen to make bird's nest for her. While the nanny wasn't paying attention, he changed his clothes, picked up the baby, and went out the door, leaving his car keys in a large bag.
With her father and elder brother away, no one in the Xiang family dared to interfere with her. Old Ma knew she had finished her postpartum confinement, so when he saw her heading into the garden, he didn't think much of it and respectfully made way for her.
Xiang Nanzhi drove through the garden to the parking spot, tossed Xiang Yun into the passenger seat, lowered the car a little, and drove away from the Xiang family home with the child in tow.
Xiang Yun is still young, after all, he is a newborn. Xiang Nanzhi has never taken care of him alone, so she has no experience. The baby is too small and rolls around in the passenger seat, so the seat belt can't be fastened properly.
Xiang Nanzhi regretted it a little; she should have had a child seat installed earlier.
She drove as she pleased, and before long Xiang Yun started vomiting milk.
Xiang Nanzhi was somewhat speechless, so he had no choice but to park the car at an intersection, abandon it, and take a taxi to drive away...
When Ma Xiaorong realized that Xiang Nanzhi had left, it was too late. Old Ma heard from the security guard that Xiang Nanzhi had driven away, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Young Master, what should we do?"
"What are we going to do? Are you all just decorations?"
Xiang Jingyi was furious and couldn't figure out where she would go. Perhaps she couldn't resist going out for a drive, or maybe she went to find Shen Shixun.
Xiang Jingyi thought about it all the way and notified the pilot of the Xiang family's private jet. Soon after, he saw Xiang Nanzhi's car parked on the side of the road.
He got out of the car and found it locked, and Xiang Nanzhi was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Xiang Nanzhiren had already boarded the plane, which slowly lifted off the flat ground and began to rise higher and higher.
Xiang Nanzhi was able to catch his breath, but the baby in his arms kept crying, giving him a headache.
