Chapter 528: He Stood Downstairs Puffing His Cigar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After receiving the photo and seeing her leaning against Gu Sheng intimately in person, he never checked on her again. Although it was just a matter of a few words if he had really wanted to check.

But he knew that seeing her together with Gu Sheng was just an excuse for him to convince himself to accept the status quo.

Back then, he had compromised and returned to the Ye family, accepting the marriage because of Xiaojie’s illness.

For the Mu Sihan, who had always had a strong sense of self-esteem, this was a disgrace.

Or to put it more bluntly, he did not have enough ability to compete with Ye Fengjun, and could not give his woman the life she wanted.

So in the end, he preferred to deceive himself and live in the illusion of her betrayal.

But he did not expect that she had borne so much alone.

That time he was drunk, he had seen a woman in an Arabic costume standing at Xiaojie’s ward. Her voice was deep and hoarse and Lan Yanzhi said that she was ugly. That must have been her!

Her child was so close but she did not dare go forward and reunite with him. To a mother, it was indeed a torturous thing.

When he mentioned Gu Sheng tonight, there was a deep sadness in her eyes...

Had Gu Sheng sacrificed himself to save her?

Mu Sihan’s tall body swayed unsteadily, his dark eyes red and his throat dry, as if he had been pinched by an invisible hand, making him unable to utter a word.

Qiao Yanze looked at Mu Sihan’s red eyes and laughed. “If you still have some conscience, stay away from Nan Zhi in the future! Don’t hurt her anymore!”

After Qiao Yanze left, Mu Sihan’s tall body leaned against the car. The hands that hung by his side clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

...

Nan Zhi returned to Yan Hua’s apartment and took a bath.

When she came out of the bathroom, Nan Zhi saw Yan Hua who was leaning against the door of the room and she smiled. “Little Apple’s asleep?”

“This little girl’s basically eating and sleeping and then when she wakes up she eats again. What a pleasant life!” Yan Hua saw that Nan Zhi was in a good mood and asked with a smile, “You saw Baby Jie?”

Nan Zhi nodded. “He’s grown taller and he’s getting more and more handsome. Huahua, what do you think, do you want to be in-laws?”

Yan Hua’s eyes curved into crescents. “Okay, Baby Jie is so handsome and cute, even I want to marry him! But...”

Nan Zhi saw Yan Hua’s hesitation and raised her eyebrows slightly. “But what?”

Yan Hua pulled Nan Zhi to the window, opened the curtains and pointed downstairs. “Look.”

The apartment Yan Hua rented was not too high up, so everything downstairs could be seen.

“I just went to the balcony to collect my clothes and saw a luxurious car parked downstairs. A tall man was leaning against the car, and I felt he was kind of familiar and when I looked closer, it was Young Master Mu.”

Nan Zhi looked downstairs through the glass window.

Under the orange street lamp, Mu Sihan’s tall body was leaning against the front of the car, a cigar held in his fingers and was puffing out smoke vigorously.

Although she could not see his expression, he seemed to be troubled with something from the way his head was slightly lowered and the way his shoulders hunched.

Nan Zhi drew the curtains closed and there was no emotion on her beautiful face. “Huahua, we can’t chase him away if he wants to stand there. Leave him be.”

“Zhizhi...”

“I know what you want to ask, but you know my character. If we can’t be together then there’s no point for us to continue being entangled together.” Although they could not be complete strangers because of Xiaojie, it was better to keep a proper distance in the future, and not cause any trouble for each other.

Thunder roared in the middle of the night.

Nan Zhi was jolted awake.

She was dazed for a few seconds but seeming to have thought of something, Nan Zhi pulled open the curtain and looked downstairs.

She thought the man had left but she did not expect him to be still leaning against the car like a statue.

He was soaking wet.

What was he still doing there?

Under the haze of the rain, she could not see his expression but she could feel his loneliness radiating in dark waves.

No, she must be imagining things.

His status was outstanding and he was an unattainable person. His wife was General Shangguan’s daughter. What loneliness did ne have?

She was slightly worried that he would catch a cold after getting drenched in the rain and split into his other personality.

But she resisted the urge to go downstairs. She closed the curtains and hid her head in the blanket and forced herself to sleep.

...

Outside the towering, magnificent Qiao family castle.

Holding an umbrella, the butler ran towards Qiao Yanze, who had stumbled out of the car, and held it over him.

But Qiao Yanze waved away the butler’s hand and entered the castle in a bad mood.

Madam Qiao was sitting in the living room drinking tea and she turned when she heard the commotion.

When she saw Qiao Yanze’s bruised and swollen face, she dropped the teacup in her hand in shock.

“Yanze, what happened to your face?”

Qiao Yanze pursed his lips, his face grim. “Nothing.” After that he went upstairs.

Madam Qiao’s expression changed.

Ever since her husband passed away, Yanze had been a lot more sensible and seldom caused trouble.

And he had reasonably good skills, so it was impossible for an ordinary person to beat him up.

Madam Qiao asked the butler to call Qiao Yanze’s chauffeur over.

The chauffeur, under Madam Qiao’s strong questioning, told her about how Qiao Yanze and Mu Sihan had a fight over a woman.

Madam Qiao then asked the chauffeur to describe how the woman looked like.

She could almost be certain that it was that Nan Zhi woman again.

Waving her hand, Madam Qiao dismissed the chauffeur.

“Grandma, my mom is having a nightmare again!” Not long after the chauffeur had left, Nan Yao rushed over.

Madam Qiao hurried upstairs to Ding Shuman’s room.

Looking at Ding Shuman’s pale and weak face, Madam Qiao asked with concern, “What’s the matter lately? The doctor couldn’t find anything wrong, why is she unwell?”

Ding Shuman, with tears in her eyes, shook her head and said nothing.

“Grandma, yesterday my mom went to the temple to pray and asked monk there and she said that my mom offended someone and if that person is not removed from her life, her body will become weaker and weaker. If that happens, then Grandma, the daughter you finally got reunited with might...”

Ding Shuman scolded Nan Yao with a weak look. “Don’t talk nonsense in front of your grandmother.”

The monk they were referring to was powerful and Madam Qiao had never doubted her words.

If Ding Shuman offended someone, that person must be... Nan Zhi!

“That girl is a scourge on this earth. Shuman, don’t worry, I will get her out of the capital immediately.”

“Mom, she has the Fourth Prince to back her up. If the Fourth Prince gives an order, can you stop it?” Ding Shuman coughed and looked tired and weak. “I have an idea.” If her idea succeeded, not only could she settle the hatred in her heart, Nan Zhi would also not be able to cause any more problems and perhaps, she would even succumb to grief.

Madam Qiao looked at Ding Shuman with her heart aching and wanted to make up for her lack of maternal love over those many years. She was willing to support whatever her daughter said.
