Moreover, Nan Jin didn’t feel that he needed Nan Xi’s approval; as for Nan Xi, all he needed to do was fulfill the duties and responsibilities he believed were enough.
"Ah Xiu, by saying that, you are insulting me. Nan Xi’s words don’t represent my stance. Since she’s being so disobedient, I will make sure to educate her properly. A child’s health is of utmost importance..."
Seeing Ye Xiu wanting to keep her distance, Nan Jin was furious. This Nan Xi, was she born just to bring him bad luck?
Now he also knew that Bai Da might be sick in the head for actually laying hands on his own daughter. He now wondered whether Bai Da had done it intentionally in the past; in fact, thinking about it now, if Bai Da considered him a friend, he should have told Ah Xiu the truth.
After all, Bai Da’s feelings for Ah Xiu had become somewhat pathological; he was capable of doing such a thing to her just because Bai Zhi had had a difficult birth. He hated that woman so much back then but hadn’t done anything to Nan Xi, had he?
"But the words that Nan Xi said..."
Ye Xiu hesitated. Of course, she hoped her daughter would get better, but Nan Xi’s words were so harsh.
"Don’t worry about her, I will teach her properly and make her apologize to you and Xingxing.
Xingxing, the hurt that Nan Xi has caused you, there’s no amount of ’sorry’ that Uncle can say to erase it. But please don’t feel that just because of Nan Xi, I would hold any grudges against you. I know that you are a very well-behaved child. I want to help you, not because of Nan Xi, and besides, you are a paying client, aren’t you?"
After thinking it through, Nan Jin eventually had to say such words. If he hadn’t said this, perhaps Ah Xiu would really want to cut ties with him, and if that were the case, he would have to think about having a serious talk with Nan Xi.
He could be a qualified father, provided that she would be obedient.
Indeed, upon hearing about the money, Bai Zhi’s expression brightened considerably.
"Then I’ll be troubling Uncle Nan," she said.
Bai Zhi returned to her room and wrote down the prescription, of course, it was the one issued by the city hospital.
Actually, she had the medicinal materials; the reason she asked Nan Jin was just to confirm some matters. Now that she had confirmation and had made Nan Xi collapse, her mood was good.
Their medicinal materials were surely beyond what Nan Jin could even imagine.
When Nan Jin looked at the prescription, it indeed appeared to be for mending bones and nourishing the body.
"Good, Uncle will get these prepared for you properly. As for the price, I’ll discuss it with your mother; you just need to take the medicine obediently," he said.
Nan Jin’s gaze turned toward Ye Xiu, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Ah Xiu, isn’t that right?"
Ye Xiu nodded; indeed it was not bad.
"To Xingxing, just tell Uncle Nan, and Nan Jin, you better go find Nan Xi, don’t let anything happen to her."
Nan Jin wanted to say there was no need; where could Nan Xi run to anyway? Besides, Bai Yu was already on the search. But seeing Ye Xiu’s expression, he still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I’ll go now. You guys don’t need to come. She won’t run off recklessly..."
If you’ve done wrong, then you need to have the attitude of someone who has done wrong.
Nan Jin was truly disappointed in Nan Xi, and of course, held no hope anymore.
Nan Xi ran out of the house, kept running, and running, until she reached the riverbank. She threw stones into the water non-stop.
"Xixi, what are you doing here?"
A voice of surprise rang out, and she looked back.
Ouyang was stunned, her face immediately stiffened, and for a moment, there was a flicker of distaste, which quickly vanished.
With better food lately, Nan Xi naturally ate whatever she wanted, and her face got rounder—it was nearly impossible to see her features clearly, resembling a pancake face, her eyes squinted, especially as she had been crying and was somewhat swollen, truly a hard sight to bear.
