The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!
Chapter 73 He's not like you!
Outside the master bedroom door, after hearing the cursing coming from upstairs, Shen Zhixia roared Ji Nanchen's name, wanting to protect Xu Jin.
But by the time she ran upstairs, it was too late.
As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw Xu Jin covering her forehead, her once doe-like eyes now red and swollen with tears, looking utterly disheveled.
"Xu Jin, how are you?"
"Xiaxia, you're back."
Xu Jin covered her forehead with her left hand, turned her head and looked at Shen Zhixia with a helpless and pitiful expression.
Shen Zhixia quickly approached him, asking anxiously, "Did Ji Nanchen hit your forehead?"
"I am fine."
Xu Jin answered softly, her eyelids drooping and her eyes red-rimmed, which made Shen Zhixia feel a pang of heartache.
She reached out and pulled Xu Jin's hand away, and immediately saw the red and swollen mark on Xu Jin's forehead, clearly indicating that she had been hit by something.
When Shen Zhixia looked down, she saw the broken bowl on the ground, and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
"He hit you with a bowl?"
Xu Jin pretended to be startled, trembling slightly. Then, she glanced at Shen Zhixia hesitantly, and said with a choked voice, "This isn't Nan Chen's fault. I saw he was too tired lately, so I thought I'd give him this bowl of white fungus soup, but..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Zhixia already knew what happened next.
As she entered the hall, she heard Ji Nanchen cursing from the second floor.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia's expression darkened further. She turned to look at the doorway of the master bedroom, "Ji Nanchen, Xu Jin was just trying to be kind by bringing you some white fungus soup. If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. Why are you treating him like this?!"
Hearing this from behind the master bedroom door, I let out a mocking smile.
Would Xu Jin be kind to me?
If I hadn't actually experienced all of this firsthand, I would never have imagined that Xu Jin was so suited to be a director.
"Ji Nanchen! Speak!"
Shen Zhixia's angry voice rang out again, interrupting my thoughts.
I looked up and stared intently at the closed door in front of me, my voice indifferent, "Shen Zhixia, I didn't do anything. If you don't believe me, there are security cameras in the second-floor hallway. You can check the footage!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia felt her anger burn even more fiercely.
"I just got back and I heard you cursing him for having an affair, and now you actually have the nerve to ask me to check the security footage! Ji Nanchen, how did you become like this?"
Sure enough, it all turned out to be my fault again.
I suppressed the surge of sorrow welling up inside me and was about to speak when Xu Jin's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Xiaxia, I...I feel so dizzy."
Shen Zhixia's attention, which had been glaring angrily at the master bedroom door, was immediately diverted to it.
She turned around and quickly walked to Xu Jin's side, helping him towards his room. "Let me help you back to your room to rest first."
While supporting Xu Jin, she also took out her phone to call her private doctor, Zhao Qianqiu.
The call was answered shortly after it was made.
"Miss Shen, what's wrong?"
As soon as Zhao Qianqiu finished speaking respectfully, Shen Zhixia said impatiently, "Come to the villa right now. Xu Jin's forehead was injured by a porcelain bowl."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qianqiu immediately packed his medical kit, slung it over his shoulder, and headed out the door.
I wonder if Ms. Shen has been having some bad luck lately, because all the people around her seem to get hurt so easily.
In the master bedroom, I stood at the door for a long time in a daze before stiffly lifting my foot and walking towards the desk.
I know this matter won't end so easily.
Not long after, I heard the sound of screeching brakes coming from downstairs at the villa. I figured it must be Dr. Zhao arriving.
Since Shen Zhixia values Xu Jin so much, she will most likely wait until Dr. Zhao leaves before settling scores with me later.
I sat at my desk, my face grim, thinking about how to guide Shen Zhixia to check the surveillance footage herself.
I know it's difficult, but I can't do nothing.
Half an hour later, Shen Zhixia's voice rang out from outside the master bedroom door, sounding like a demon from hell.
"Ji Nanchen, open the door!"
Hearing this while sitting at my desk, I froze, then slowly walked toward the bedroom door.
"Shen Zhixia, today's events were all orchestrated by Xu Jin to frame me! You can't just believe what he says! I really didn't do anything. Go check the security footage on the second floor, and you'll see that I'm not lying!"
"Xu Jin orchestrated this whole thing to frame you?"
Shen Zhixia scoffed, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Then what about all those swear words I heard you use? How do you explain that?!"
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "It's fabricated! That's not what I said originally, that was him..."
"enough!"
Shen Zhixia impatiently interrupted me, her voice growing colder and colder.
"Ji Nanchen, he's not like you!"
In her eyes, Xu Jin was a simple and kind-hearted boy, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have suffered so many injuries.
Ji Nanchen, on the other hand, was irritable and easily angered. In order to gain attention in front of her, he always resorted to underhanded tactics. His stomach cancer and his suicide attempt were all laid bare before her, and she simply did not believe a word he said.
Standing in the master bedroom, my pupils contracted sharply upon hearing these words.
Shen Zhixia has never believed me.
All my explanations were useless.
"Ji Nanchen, open the door!"
Shen Zhixia impatiently twisted the doorknob, wanting to go in and vent her anger on Ji Nanchen, but the door remained locked.
Her temper was flaring up. "Are you going to open the door yourself, or wait for me to go find Aunt Wang to get the spare key?"
Some time ago, Ji Nanchen went berserk and vented his emotions on Xu Jin, beating him severely. She had warned Ji Nanchen repeatedly not to lay a hand on Xu Jin, but he completely ignored her warnings.
Ji Nanchen, you're really great.
I stood in the master bedroom, listening to Shen Zhixia's furious roar, and my body stiffened even more.
I didn't want to take the blame for Xu Jin, so I refused to open the door.
But if I don't open the door now, Shen Zhixia will go to Wang Ma to get the spare key, and the end result will still be the same.
After waiting outside the door for a while without hearing any sound from the master bedroom, Shen Zhixia immediately turned around and went downstairs.
"Wang Ma, take the spare key to the master bedroom upstairs!"
"Ok."
When Wang Ma returned from shopping and saw Shen Zhixia's car downstairs, she was shocked.
Hearing Shen Zhixia's angry roar again, she felt uneasy, wondering what had happened while she was away.
Soon, Wang Ma came up to the second floor with the spare key to the master bedroom and handed it to Shen Zhixia with both hands.
"Miss, this is the spare key to the master bedroom."
With a gloomy face, Shen Zhixia reached for the spare key, walked quickly to the master bedroom door, and inserted the key into the keyhole.
Upon hearing the sound, I unconsciously took two steps back, looking fearfully towards the direction of the master bedroom door.
"Shen Zhixia, I've already said I didn't do it, why can't you believe me just this once and check the surveillance footage?!"
