Chapter 29 Self-righteousness
When it was almost time to get off work, Nan Xi received a call from Qi Zhengchu, who wanted to talk to her about something.
Although Qi Zhengchu is Qin Xiaoze's brother, Nan Xi has had a lot of contact with him in recent years. As a doctor, he cares the most about the old man's health. Nan Xi agreed without thinking.
"I'll take you home." After work, Mu Yichen came to the office and took Nan Xi home.
"A friend asked me out." Nan Xi said.
Qi Zhengchu has a special identity, so she avoided saying who his friend is, hoping Mu Yichen wouldn't ask too many questions.
To her surprise, Mu Yichen just nodded and didn't ask anything. He only reminded her, "Be careful on the road, and remember to tell me when you get home."
After saying that, Mu Yichen turned and left.
From the time she came in to the time she left, Mu Yichen never asked her where she was going or who she was going out with.
Nan Xi felt much more at ease.
She went out alone, let alone to meet the opposite sex. If it were Qin Xiaoze, he would probably ask her everything, for fear that she would do something out of line.
Mu Yichen gave her enough space and trust.
Nan Xi packed up her things and left the office, then went to the restaurant as agreed.
Seeing Qi Zhengchu, Nan Xi was worried, "Is Grandpa not feeling well?"
These days, because of the tense relationship with Qin Xiaoze and the busy work schedule, Nan Xi has not found time to visit the old man.
Qi Zhengchu had never asked her out alone before. On the way here, Nan Xi became more and more worried. Could it be related to her grandfather's health?
Qi Zhengchu shook his head, "Grandpa is fine."
Nan Xi felt relieved and asked, "That's good. What do you want to talk to me about?"
As soon as he finished asking the question, he saw a familiar figure walking over, sitting down next to Qi Zhengchu, and looking straight at Nan Xi.
After seeing Qin Xiaoze, Nan Xi's expression froze. She then stood up, turned around and left.
"What do you mean? You leave just because I come?" Seeing Nan Xi was about to leave, Qin Xiaoze asked.
Nan Xi sneered, "Don't you know what I mean? I don't want to see you."
"Then who do you want to see, that old man Zhao Dong?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qi Zhengchu quickly stopped them, "Okay, stop arguing. Since we are all sitting together, let's have a good chat."
He persuaded Nan Xi, "Xiao Ze found me and hoped to ask you out for a talk. You didn't answer his call. He has realized his mistake. No matter what, you have been husband and wife for so many years, you should have a good talk."
Nan Xi: "There's nothing to talk about with him."
Qin Xiaoze looked at Nan Xi with a cold face, "I made time to find you, and this is your attitude?"
"Speak less." Qi Zhengchu touched Qin Xiaoze's arm, "Nan Xi is good, talk to her nicely and don't make things unpleasant."
After Qi Zhengchu finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the space for the two people.
Nan Xi sat down and said, "If we don't want to talk, let's talk."
Qin Xiaoze actually used Qi Zhengchu to ask her out. If she avoided him, she didn't know what he would do in the future. He was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal. She could only grit her teeth and listen to what he had to say.
Qin Xiaoze raised his head and glanced at Nan Xi. Seeing her perfunctory attitude, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. "How long are you going to make such a fuss?"
"Do you think I'm making a fuss?" Nan Xi pointed at herself, her face full of disbelief.
After such a long time since the signing of the divorce agreement, she thought Qin Xiaoze would at least realize his own problem, but what she didn't expect was that even if he cheated and she filed for divorce, in his eyes, it was still her fault and she was the one making a fuss.
Qin Xiaoze ignored Nan Xi's question and made a request, "It's been so long, it's time to come back."
"Heh." Nan Xi looked as if she had just heard a joke. "You mean, you want me to pretend nothing happened and we can still be like before? Qin Xiaoze, you have a nice idea. So, are you willing to give up Lin Rufei and don't want her anymore?"
When Qin Xiaoze mentioned Lin Rufei, his tone was no longer as cold as before, but rather softened. "What happened between her and me will not affect our relationship. If you come back obediently, I can give you a promotion in the company, and we'll just pretend nothing happened."
Nan Xi laughed out loud, "You don't plan to marry Lin Rufei anymore? Or after being with her, you found that she is not as good as you imagined, so the idea of marrying her has wavered."
Qin Xiaoze's face turned grim as if he had been told the truth. He suppressed his thoughts with anger, "These are not your business. Go to Mu Corporation and resign tomorrow. The company needs you now. Those companies that originally signed cooperation agreements have run into problems. You are responsible for resolving these problems."
After saying so much, Nan Xi finally understood Qin Xiaoze's purpose.
So he wanted her to solve the problem for him.
He had clearly come to ask her to do something for him, but his tone made it seem as if she couldn't leave him and had to go back to help him solve the problem.
It seems that she was too good to him in the past, so good that he forgot who he was.
She sneered, her voice getting louder and louder.
Qin Xiaoze's expression grew uglier as he listened, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Nan Xi complained in her heart, wondering how Qin Xiaoze would feel if he knew that she had specially given him all these troubles.
She did all this to teach him a lesson and watched him fall into crisis.
Initially, Nan Xi paid a lot to establish cooperation with these companies. Now she is just withdrawing her own efforts, which is no problem.
Putting away her smile, Nan Xi sneered and said, "Lin Rufei is now the vice president of the company. Why don't you let your vice president Lin handle these things?"
Qin Xiaoze pointed at Nan Xi with a stern face, "You are still jealous."
He used to think that Nan Xi didn't love him anymore, but now it seems that she is just jealous of the relationship between him and Ru Fei.
Women are always narrow-minded. Given Nan Xi's feelings for him, as long as he gives up Ru Fei, she can throw herself into his arms in a minute.
But now, he didn't have that mindset, and he didn't intend to spoil her. More importantly, he hadn't thought about separating from Rufei.
"I'm jealous?" Nan Xi sneered and retorted, "I'll be the first to bless you and Lin Rufei to get married."
Maybe she would have been jealous before, but now, she already knew that she had never been in his heart. All these years, she was just a substitute, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about.
After Nan Xi finished speaking, she turned and left.
However, her actions made Qin Xiaoze excited.
He grabbed her arm, not letting her go, and shouted, "I've come here to ask you in person, what else do you want? I have Rufei in my heart, but we are husband and wife after all. I never thought of giving up on you."
"You'd better give up. I don't want it at all." After saying that, Nan Xi pushed Qin Xiaoze's hand away and turned to leave.
"Nanxi! Stop right there!"
Nan Xi left without looking back. Qin Xiaoze shouted behind her, but seeing that she didn't even turn back, he suddenly became very angry. He slammed the table hard, thought for a while, and chased after her again.
After Nan Xi left, she turned on her phone and forwarded the recording to Lin Rufei.
She recorded everything Qin Xiaoze said just now, and wondered what Lin Rufei would think when she heard it.
