Nan Zhi shook off Bo Shaoxiu’s hand and continued moving. But Bo Shaoxiu’s tall body soon blocked her again.
“Zhizhi, I want to talk to you.”
Nan Zhi looked at Bo Shaoxiu’s eyes, which were bloodshot like he had a number of sleepless nights. She frowned and said with a cold expression, “We have nothing to talk about.”
“I’m going to marry Nan Yao.”
“Congratulations.”
When she congratulated him, there was no hint of longing or reluctance in her eyes. There was only cold indifference.
A pained expression flashed past Bo Shaoxiu’s brown eyes and he said in a hoarse voice, “If you agree to get back together with me, I can call off the wedding. I don’t mind if you have a child…”
There was a look of mockery in her eyes. “Bo Shaoxiu, you think too highly of yourself. Three-legged toads are hard to find but two-legged men are everywhere! Why should I take the leftover dregs of Nan Yao?”
“Nan Zhi, you…” Bo Shaoxiu was angered by Nan Zhi’s callous words. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and not lose control in front of Nan Zhi. But he couldn’t help the surge of anger leaking into his voice when he responded. “Do you think Mu Sihan is sincere to you? I investigated him and he is quite mysterious. I can’t find out his true identity, but he was adopted by the Mu family when he was twelve. His adoptive father treated him like his own and he was very grateful to his adoptive father. But do you know how his adoptive father died?”
Nan Zhi’s fingers curled slightly. She did not understand why Bo Shaoxiu was telling her this.
“It was your uncle who drove into his adoptive father’s car while drunk. That day, Mu Sihan was also in the car. To protect him, his adoptive father turned the steering wheel, so the person who should have died was Mu Sihan!”
Nan Zhi’s uncle had lived up to thirty-five years of age and had never married. After Nan Zhi was born, he treated her like his own daughter. On the day of his accident, her mother’s mental illness acted up and the helper called her uncle. He was socializing at that time and after receiving the call, he rushed back home in a hurry.
He would never have anticipated that that day would spell the end of his life.
Nan Zhi only knew that her uncle had died because he collided with another car. She had never known the details.
But she did not expect the owner of the car to be Mu Sihan’s adoptive father.
Only this morning, the father Mu Sihan was calling out during his nightmare… was it his adoptive father? It was no wonder why when he woke up, he looked at her with such cold and indifferent eyes.
And last night, when she mentioned her uncle, he suddenly retracted the hand on her stomach and became cold.
Nan Zhi swayed unsteadily.
Bo Shaoxiu stepped forward to embrace Nan Zhi.
But she took a big step back and shouted with a pale face, “Don’t touch me!”
“Zhizhi, Mu Sihan founded S.G Corporation with his own ability. He has incredible business talent, what kind of woman has he not seen before? Why would he like a woman like you, who had given birth to a child already? Don’t you know what he wants to do? He’s just having his revenge. If you fall in love with him, he’ll kick you to the gutter in an instant!”
Nan Zhi remained silent.
“He’s bloodthirsty and cold-blooded in the business world. How many big shots wanted to send him women who are prettier and with better figures than you? There are pretty women with talent everywhere. Do you think you have some kind of special ability to have attracted his attention?”
Nan Zhi’s gaze turned cold and she scoffed, “If you’re here to sow discord between us, you can go.”
Bo Shaoxiu frowned and gripped Nan Zhi’s slender shoulders, his tone earnest. “Zhizhi, I won’t force you if you don’t want to get back together with me. But think carefully, does Mu Sihan really like you? How long have you known him? Why is he not bothered with you having a child? Haven’t you ever wondered if he’s just playing with your feelings? You’d better stay away from a person like him in the future, or else when you get sucked into his trap, you’re the one who will lose out!”
Nan Zhi had thought that Mu Sihan liked her because she looked like Xue’er…
No… when she was at the manor, she still remembered what the old madam had said.
‘I know you are a good girl and I don’t want you to get hurt. I want Sihan and Qianqian together so that he can forget about the past and start afresh. If it is you, he would live in the memories of the past forever. Do you understand?’
At the time, she hadn’t given it much thought, thinking that she was just a shadow.
But she did not expect such a relationship to have come about…
