Latour retains many of Saigon's local characteristics, but that doesn't change the fact that Latour is a big city.
Shen Shixun held the child in one arm and drove with the other.
As I passed an intersection, I saw bodyguards dressed in black looking for someone.
Without a doubt, the Xiang family knows, but they have absolutely no chance of finding him.
Shen Shixun made no attempt to hide anything, driving across the street the moment the light turned green, while his bodyguards kept backing away.
On the night Xiang Nanzhi gave birth, she was in so much pain she felt like she was going to die. She thought she wouldn't make it, and she even cried as she told him her will...
The hands holding the child unconsciously tightened their grip, but Tangyuan remained unconscious.
The car drove all the way to Mancheng, passing through deserted mountain roads and grasslands.
Xiang Nanzhi always slept soundly until dawn, but for some reason, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
She stretched and touched the bed beside her. In the warm bed, only her side was warm; the other side was chilly.
It's so late, isn't he asleep?
Xiang Nanzhi put on her slippers and felt a chill on her ankles. When she walked into the living room, she found no one there, and Xiang Yun was not home either.
She was taken aback, yawned, and went back to bed.
Where did he run off to with the glutinous rice balls?
She reached for her phone and found that Shen Shixun's phone was face down on top of hers.
Xiang Nanzhi couldn't sleep because she hadn't even taken her phone with her when she went out. She went to the living room to pour herself a glass of water, and as she picked up the glass from the table, she noticed a piece of paper lying on it.
The paper contained the necklace she had given to Shen Shixun, along with a card. Xiang Nanzhi, curious, picked it up and glanced at it.
She had been nonchalant at first, but after seeing the words on it, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. The two copies of the divorce agreement had clearly been altered.
Xiang Nanzhi's mind went blank. She quickly turned on her phone, only to find it full of missed calls. Suddenly, she didn't know who she had called. Clutching the divorce papers in her hand, she ran downstairs.
Running out, one finds oneself on a wide, bustling road, with cars coming and going in dense traffic. Xiang Nanzhi, dressed in pajamas, is at a loss.
“Shen Shixun…”
"Shen Shixun, where did you go?"
He signed the divorce papers without his phone, so she couldn't contact him at all and didn't know where he had taken the glutinous rice balls.
Suddenly, a void appeared in her heart. Latour, unfamiliar with the place and its people, looked lost and wandered around aimlessly. Suddenly, she started running.
After receiving the call, Xiang Jingyi found her on a street corner.
"Where did you go? Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you crazy?"
"How dare you come looking for him alone with a child? Where is Shen Shixun?"
Even her eldest brother, who had always doted on her, lost his temper with her at this moment.
"Speak up! You think you'll be fine if you don't speak? Open your mouth and say something!"
Xiang Nanzhi clutched the crumpled divorce agreement in his hand and handed it to Xiang Jingyi. Xiang Jingyi opened it haphazardly, frowned, and looked at it...
This is the divorce agreement he sent to Shen Shixun. Has he finally signed it?
"These things, you gave them to him, didn't you?"
“Zhizhi…”
Xiang Nanzhi stood up, as if all her strength had been drained away. "You all know I like him. Why? I've already told you all that. We'll handle things between him and me. Please, just leave me alone."
"What exactly do you and Dad want from me? You've driven him to this point, are you satisfied now?"
Xiang Jingyi panicked a little, even her earlier anger dissipated, "Zhizhi..."
When I met her, I realized she was wet. Xiang Nanzhi had slipped and fallen into a puddle while looking for someone. She was covered in dirt and was already dressed in thin clothes. Now that she was wet, the cool breeze made her feel cold all over.
Xiang Jingyi quickly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. Xiang Nanzhi's eyes were red. "I'm not cold. You found him. You must know where he went, right?"
"You forced him to leave, so you must have arranged somewhere for him to go. Where is he?"
The Xiang family had made arrangements for Shen Shixun, but he refused. Xiang Jing was at her wits' end. "Tell me what happened?"
"I should be asking you what happened, brother, what happened?"
Xiang Nanzhi laughed, "I just came to see him. Tangyuan is also his child. Why can't you let me? What are you trying to do by making so many phone calls in such a big way?"
"Are you afraid I won't come back?"
Xiang Nanzhi picked up her phone, then let it fall to the ground. "Why are you and Dad's actions becoming increasingly incomprehensible to me? What are you trying to do? What did you say to Shen Shixun?"
Xiang Jingyi didn't have time to listen to her complaints. He gleaned the gist of her words: "Find him. Search around Latu. Make sure you find him. Once you find him, bring the child back and kill him."
Xiang Nanzhi tiptoed to grab his phone, saying, "Kill Shen Shixun, then kill me first!"
"Zhizhi!"
Xiang Jingyi gritted his teeth, his breathing becoming heavy, "Stop making trouble now, I'll find him!"
This was the first time in his life that Xiang Jingyi had ever lost his temper with her like this.
Xiang Nanzhi reached out and took his phone. "I only want to ask you, what did you say to Shen Shixun? What gives you the right to talk to him about divorce on my behalf?"
"Didn't Dad say that he'd let me have my way as long as I liked it? He said it himself..."
"Zhizhi, I don't have time to discuss these things with you right now."
Xiang Jingyi tried to calm herself down, draped her clothes over her shoulders, and reached out to touch her hand, but Xiang Nanzhi pushed her away. "I always thought you all supported me. I liked Song Ze, and you tried every means to make me break up with him. I liked Shen Shixun, and you..."
Xiang Nanzhi saw the suppressed emotions in Xiang Jingyi's eyes, and collapsed, hugging himself and squatting down, "Big brother, you weren't like this before, why..."
She cried so hard that Xiang Jing felt like her heart was being torn apart. Without thinking too much, she made a phone call to explain that someone should find Shen Shixun and stop him. Then she grabbed her hand and led her to the car.
Xiang Nanzhi pushed him away, "I must go to him in person and explain to him that it's not what he thinks."
Xiang Jingyi couldn't stop her, so he had no choice but to follow behind her.
Latour is too big, and it's not easy to find someone. Xiang Nanzhi stopped arguing with Xiang Jingyi. She was too tired and kept walking around the entire city of Latour. As dawn approached, the vendors on the streets of Latour began to set up their stalls. Xiang Nanzhi felt stiff all over, and her legs didn't feel like her own.
Xiang Jingyi came over and pulled her several times, but she neither cried nor made a fuss. She just kept refusing to leave with him. When Xiang Jingyi put a coat on her to keep her warm, she threw it aside.
