Zhang Xuan picked up her bowl. When she looked up, she saw a news alert on the television screen. It seemed to be some entertainment news.
Just as she was about to change the channel, she saw a familiar face.
Zhou Yunxi's face was extremely clear in front of the cameras. Zhang Xuan was stunned. She had seen this woman many years ago.
Many memories flooded back to her. Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
"Madam, Madam..." The maid called a few times on the side before Zhang Xuan came back to her senses. "What's wrong?"
"Madam, Miss Tangxi called."
Upon hearing that it was a call from Tangxi, Zhang Xuan picked up the call. Her voice was very gentle. "Tangxi, is there anything you need from me at this time? How is Cheng Xi? Has Huo Nanchen arrived in Country M?"
Her daughter had earlier called her, informing her that Cheng Xi had accidentally knocked his head against the stairs. Zhang Xuan had hurriedly asked the servant to book a flight ticket for her to travel to Country M.
"He's here. He didn't abandon us." Ning Tangxi's tone had a hint of sweetness. "When he heard that Cheng Xi had fallen and hit his head, he flew over overnight. Currently, he's accompanying the child for an infusion."
When she thought about how he had answered her call and flown to the country without giving any excuses, she was pleased with herself.
As expected, he cared about her.
"Tangxi, why did you let Cheng Xi climb up the stairs carelessly? It's so dangerous!" However, when she remembered that her daughter was a single mother and had no man by her side to take care of her, Zhang Xuan could only sigh.
"Mom, I want to come back home. Don't come over. I think I'll bring Cheng Xi home soon."
If Huo Nanchen agreed to take them back with him when he returned, she would be more than willing.
"Why do you suddenly want to return to the country?" Zhang Xuan thought out loud. "That's fine too. If you and Cheng Xi return to the country, we can take good care of you and your son."
"Cheng Xi is already so old. I don't want him to be called a fatherless bastard by the other children." Ning Tangxi was a little choked up. "Every time I see Cheng Xi cry, my heart aches."
Zhang Xuan immediately knew what her daughter was thinking. She frowned. "Tangxi, Nanchen already has a wife. Don't tell me you still want to place your hopes on him?"
"But Nanchen doesn't love her. Sooner or later, their marriage will end," Ning Tangxi replied. "Over the years, many people have taken a liking to him because of his power and wealth. Only I truly love him."
Zhang Xuan did not know what to say. Afraid of hurting her daughter, she urged, "Bring the child back first."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xuan went upstairs.
Her conversation with Niang Tangxi had left her a little confused.
A Shaosi saw the news about Gu Ruochu's family online and called Huo Nanchen. When he picked up, he sneered, "Where the hell have you been?"
"What's wrong?" Huo Nanchen's voice sounded very hoarse and tired. An Shaosi was stunned. "Where are you?"
"Country M. " Huo Nanchen's voice was barely audible. "Cheng Xi fell from down the stairs and hit his head, causing him to bleed greatly. He lost a lot of blood."
An Shaosi was shocked by the news. After a while, he said, "Something happened to your wife as well. Zhou Yunxi assembled the media to smear your wife. She even demanded eight million yuan. Fortunately, your wife managed to handle the situation. However, I noticed that the group of reporters was also very irritating at the start."
Giving in to an annoying parent such as Zhou Yunxi would be unbearable. An Shaosi understood Gu Ruochu's refusal to give her a single cent.
"Those ungrateful b*tches!" Huo Nanchen's aura darkened. "This time, I'll let them have a taste of my power."
