The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

Shen Zhixia's eyes instantly turned sharp and wary as she looked at me. "What are you planning to do now?"

Last time, because of what she did, Ji Nanchen vented his anger on Xu Jin, beating him until he was covered in bruises. The doctor even said that Xu Jin was already weak and couldn't withstand such a beating.

Now that Ji Nanchen suddenly asked about this matter, she immediately felt that he had ill intentions.

Seeing the wary look in her eyes, I immediately understood what she was thinking.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly and said softly, "Shen Zhixia, he is a person, and so am I. I can get hurt, and I also need medical treatment."

The defensiveness in Shen Zhixia's dark eyes slowly faded, and her gaze towards me became somewhat complicated.

She knew I was telling the truth, but she didn't understand why I would suddenly say these things to her.

After a long silence, she parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Ji Nanchen, what do you want from all this talk?"

Shen Zhixia seemed to have finally regained her senses, and her gaze returned to its usual coldness as she looked at me. "What's the purpose of you playing the victim in front of me now? Is it to avoid apologizing to Xu Jin? Or do you want Xu Jin to move out?"

I paused for a moment, then forced a smile.

"All."

I don't want to see Xu Jin in the villa anymore.

As for apologizing to him, that's even more impossible.

Upon hearing my answer, Shen Zhixia's brows furrowed even more tightly.

She wanted to retort with sarcasm, but when her gaze fell on Ji Nanchen's face, she suddenly couldn't utter a word.

For some reason, she felt that Ji Nanchen seemed to have suddenly lost a lot of weight.

I stood there for a moment, thinking that Shen Zhixia would get angry at me and force me to apologize to Xu Jin, but this time she didn't.

To my surprise, she asked, "Just jumping off a building, do you really need to take so many medications?"

"The doctor said my illness is quite serious and I need to take my medication on time."

As soon as I finished speaking, Shen Zhixia's sneer rang out, "Ji Nanchen, it's just acting, don't fool yourself."

"it is good."

I didn't explain, but calmly replied and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

I had just stepped onto the first step when Shen Zhixia spoke again.

She said, "Ji Nanchen, Xu Jin is away on a business trip these past two days. When he comes back, apologize to him properly, and let bygones be bygones."

An apology? She actually wants me to apologize to Xu Jin!

I tightened my grip on the plastic bag, my body stiffening slightly. "Why should I apologize to him! Shen Zhixia, if you think I'm in your way at home, I'll move out tomorrow."

"Move out? Do you even have the money to move out now?"

Shen Zhixia narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression full of contempt.

She knew that I was penniless now because I had to pay off Zhang Guifen's debts.

Being penniless doesn't mean I can be bullied by anyone.

I clenched my fist and said in a deep voice, "I've started to go back to my old ways to make money recently, so you don't need to worry about the money. I'll pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible."

Shen Zhixia's brows furrowed even more, and she stared at me with a sinister look.

"Ji Nanchen, did I give you permission to move out?"

I glanced at her, a mocking smile playing on my lips. "You think I'm some kind of good-natured person if I don't move out?"

“Last time, Xu Jin was being cheeky, so I beat him up. Luckily, Uncle Zhang arrived in time, otherwise Xu Jin might have been half-dead. Shen Zhixia, aren’t you afraid I’ll beat him even harder next time?”

"Ji Nanchen!"

Shen Zhixia rushed up to me in a fit of anger and raised her hand to slap me.

This time, I didn't let her slap me. I raised my hand and grabbed her wrist directly. "Why did you call me?"

"Ji Nanchen, if you dare to hit him, I guarantee that Meng Jinghuai and the others will not live any longer in this world!"

After Shen Zhixia angrily shouted these words, she tried to pull her hand back, but I held it tightly.

I took a step closer to her, laughing sarcastically.

"If they die, I'll drag Xu Jin down with me to hell."

"Shen Zhixia, you know I'm a crazy person, and I'm not afraid of death. If you really push me too far, I'm capable of anything."

Shen Zhixia stared at me blankly, seemingly never expecting that I would have such a crazy day.

But I don't have much time left to live. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I can accommodate Shen Zhixia, but that doesn't mean I'm someone who's easy to bully.

We remained frozen in place, and the atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly tense.

After a while, I felt a bit bored and was about to take the medicine back to the bedroom when Shen Zhixia spoke up.

She said, "Ji Nanchen, you are not allowed to move out. If you dare to move out, I will lock you in the house. You know I can do it."

I kept a straight face and was about to speak sarcastically when Shen Zhixia's voice rang out again, "In addition, I will allow you to take on freelance work and do design, and I will no longer target your studio like before, but you have to agree to one condition."

It won't target our studio?

After I graduated, I started a studio with my former partner. To get revenge on me, Shen Zhixia arranged for someone to open a competing studio in order to steal our clients.

After Zhang Guifen was defrauded and incurred debts, I sold my share of the business and stopped participating in the studio's affairs.

The original partner was not a good manager to begin with, and without my addition, the studio received even fewer orders. In addition, Shen Zhixia's competing studio deliberately targeted us, and the studio was almost unable to survive during this period.

That studio was the result of my hard work over the past few years, and I didn't want to see it go out of business.

Without the competition from Shen Zhixia's rival studio, our studio can definitely be revived.

Such a great opportunity is in front of me, and I don't want to miss it.

I took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What are the conditions?"

I knew that Shen Zhixia's next condition would be very harsh, but I didn't expect her to make such a condition.

"I wash Xu Jin's clothes every day."

After Shen Zhixia uttered those words indifferently, her hands, which were placed at her sides, unconsciously began to rub.

Ji Nanchen's unwillingness to apologize to Xu Jin was a major headache for her, but she didn't dare to push him too hard, otherwise, if he really went crazy, it would be a loss.

She used the condition that he wouldn't target their studio as leverage, in exchange for Ji Nanchen washing Xu Jin's clothes. This could be seen as him indirectly bowing down to Xu Jin.

A flicker of surprise crossed my eyes, and I asked in confusion, "Don't we have washing machines for washing clothes?"

Why do you make me wash Xu Jin's clothes? Do you think I'm your servant?

Shen Zhixia curled her lips in a mocking smile. "You know, some clothes can't be cleaned in a washing machine."

My expression changed, and I was about to speak sarcastically when her voice rang out again.

"After wearing a shirt for a long time, the collar will inevitably get dirty. Xu Jin is quite frugal, so he usually cleans his own white shirts."

Upon hearing this, I immediately realized that I had misunderstood.

Shen Zhixia glanced at me, her patience slowly fading. "Ji Nanchen, do you agree?"
