Madam Qiao stood up, approaching Nan Zhi as she stared at her granddaughter with a warm and doting expression. “Zhizhi, rest well. Grandma will come again tomorrow to visit you.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Alright.”

When Madam Qiao pa.s.sed by Xiao Ying, who looked down as if she was extremely terrified of her, her att.i.tude changed completely to a strict and harsh tone, unlike the warm one she had towards Nan Zhi. “As long as I’m still alive, you can forget about marrying into our Qiao family!”

Too many things had happened in the past six months.

The first was Nan Zhi’s accident that made everyone immersed in their sorrows from thinking that she was gone. Then Yanze had gotten together with this devious woman, Xiao Ying.

She did not know what capability Xiao Ying had to be able to tame the playful Yanze into such an obedient person.

Yanze had even argued with her several times for Xiao Ying.

He said clearly that if she did not accept Xiao Ying, he would rather give up his inheritance to the Qiao family.

Madam Qiao was so furious that she had been admitted into the hospital not too long ago.

She did everything she could, even thinking of giving a sum of money to Xiao Ying to make her leave Yanze herself.

However, Xiao Ying was a vixen. Although she looked weak and gentle on the outside, she almost killed Mrs Qiao with anger that day when she spoke to her privately.

She kept saying that her son did like her and only wanted her, that if she wanted to separate them forcefully, she would only end up losing her son.

She even said that she should not be the head of the household anymore with her age, that after Yanze married her, she would become the head lady of the Qiao family once she entered into the Qiao family.

No one had ever dared to speak to her like this! Even when she did not know that Nan Zhi was her granddaughter, Nan Zhi did not speak like this either!

She felt that Xiao Ying was not as simple as she seemed, which was why she went to investigate her, but she could not find out anything from her background. After Yanze found out about it, he even threw a fit at her.

Their mother and son relations.h.i.+p had turned sour after this.

For the first time, Madam Qiao felt extremely exhausted. But it was a good thing that Zhizhi was still alive. Yanze had a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhizhi, and she would see if he would listen to Zhizhi’s words.

After Madam Qiao left, Xiao Ying glanced at Qiao Yanze with teary eyes, her lips biting her lips so hard her lips turned red. She said extremely pitifully, “I shouldn’t have come over to make your Mom unhappy again.”

As she spoke, a sparkling tear fell, making her look even more pitiful.

Qiao Yanze walked in front of her, hugging her shoulders as he said dotingly, “She did not like Zhizhi either in the past. She only liked her afterwards. My Mom is like that, it will be alright after she gets to know you.”

Xiao Ying leaned into Qiao Yanze’s embrace, her hands hugging his thin waist as she smirked slightly into his chest. “Really? If she continues to dislike me, will you not want me anymore?”

Qiao Yanze lifted a finger to tap Xiao Ying’s nose. “I’m yours in this lifetime.”

Xiao Ying tiptoed, kissing Qiao Yanze’s cheek.

Seeing the two of them act so lovingly in front of everyone, Nan Zhi felt slightly weirded out.

Her first expression of Xiao Ying was not very good.

This girl seemed slightly two-faced.

It was no wonder why her Grandma did not like her.

After Qiao Yanze left with Xiao Ying, An Feng thought that Gu Sheng wanted to speak to Nan Zhi alone, since he was staring intently at her. Getting up she left the room with Ling Er.

After Nan Zhi and Gu Sheng were the only ones left in the room, Gu Sheng could no longer control his emotions as he approached her, hugging her tightly.

“Little Flower, thank the G.o.ds that you’re still alive.”

Nan Zhi was forced to lean into Gu Sheng’s arms. His scent was extremely clean and refres.h.i.+ng, without a single hint of cigarette smell, he smelt like fresh gra.s.s under the sun. Comforting, protective.

Although she could not see his expression clearly right now, she could feel his agitation and also his happiness.

He hugged her arms, his muscular and hard hold tightening by the second.

She furrowed her eyebrows. Did Gu Sheng like her a lot in the past as well?
