Zhao Shucheng was still unaware of the secret confrontation between Qin Shi and Wenrou. At this moment, he was accompanying Wenrou to shop for things and prepare for their wedding.

Of course, he was not only accompanying Wen Nuan, but also asking the company to prepare new projects. However, he unexpectedly learned that the company had recently been in contact with many potential investors, and some other companies were in contact, and some even offered a higher price than Xingchen.

After Zhao Shucheng asked someone to investigate, he found out that the investment company was actually related to Qianyu, or more precisely, to Zhan Nanxian.

In order to retaliate against Zhao Shucheng, Zhan Nanxian was willing to use his own capital and Qianyu's shares as collateral to snatch Xingchen's clients. His purpose was to let Wen Nuan know who is the strongest and who she should choose.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help laughing after hearing the news, and felt that Zhan Nanxian was a little too naive. He admitted that Zhan Nanxian had some talent in high-tech domestic research and development, but in the investment industry, he was just a novice. It seemed that Zhan Nanxian had taken away Xingchen's customers, making Xingchen Investment unable to invest in some companies in a short period of time, but these customers themselves were dispensable to Xingchen, and there were a lot of substitute companies.

What Zhan Nanxian did was nothing more than the rage of an incompetent. If he cannot make these companies develop, then his investment will be wasted, and even Qianyu will be affected in the end.

Gao Fang and Guan Ti were somewhat disapproving of Zhan Nanxian's behavior, and their persuasion had no effect. In desperation, they could only call Zhan Nanxian's mother Zhou Xiangling and ask her to stop her son's ridiculous behavior.

Zhou Xiangling didn't care at first when he heard it. He just thought that his son was diversifying his investments and didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. But when he heard that Zhan Nanxian was just jealous and even because of Wen Nuan, and also broke up with Bo Yixin, he couldn't sit still anymore and immediately booked a flight back home to stop his son.

When Zhan Nanxian was still confident of victory, he unexpectedly learned that his mother had returned to China and even asked him to go home.

Zhan Nanxian hurried home to see his mother who had just returned. Instead of being greeted with a smile, he was met with his mother's anger.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

"That's not necessary. You're so busy. Just let your assistant do it."

Zhan Nanxian smiled and said, "Why, you're in a bad mood, is everything going well this time? How long can you stay after you come back?"

"It depends on the situation. I wasn't planning to come back so soon, but I got some news that forced me to come back quickly. I heard that you tried to get Wen Nuan to work at Qianyu, and you were even willing to risk your company just because she left you again?"

"Mom, it's been so long, can't you let it go?"

Zhou Xiangling said, "Let her go? Whenever I see her, I think of your father. She killed my husband, your father."

"She didn't want to, and she also lost..."

Zhou Xiangling didn't even give Zhan Nanxian a chance to speak, and said, "If she hadn't been making a fuss about breaking up, none of this would have happened. After your father died, I felt like a part of me died with him. I could only rely on painting. I tried my best to cheer myself up and forget those painful memories... Nanxian, you should understand my pain the most, right?"

She sobbed and said, "Think about it yourself. How have you been through these years? Yixin has been with you for seven years. If you get back together with Wen Nuan, will you be worthy of Yixin and your dead father? Will you be worthy of the tears I have shed all these years?"

"Mom, don't cry. You cry as soon as you get home. It makes me feel sad." Zhan Nanxian hurriedly wiped his mother's tears.

Zhou Xiangling looked at his son and said, "Nan Xian, can't you let go of Wen Nuan? You are willing to hurt the people who care about you and love you, and even break up with Yi Xin for her. Are you worthy of Yi Xin's efforts over the years? And now Wen Nuan is going to marry Zhu Linlu, so you can just let her go completely, isn't that okay?"

"I heard that after Wen Nuan left Qianyu, you started to act irrationally again. You even took out all your savings and mortgaged Qianyu's shares just to compete with Zhu Linlu for some corporate investments. You risked losing everything. Is it really worth it for you?"

Zhan Nanxian frowned and said, "Mom, who told you that? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"You still want to hide it from me. Do you think Gao Fang and Guan Ti would lie to me? They are worried that you will do something irrational and they can't persuade you, so they told me this. Nan Xian, wake up. Ever since Wen Nuan broke up with you seven years ago and your father got into trouble, it has been impossible for you two to be together."

Zhan Nanxian suddenly lost his patience to appease his mother, and said angrily: "Nothing is impossible. As long as I want, she will definitely come back to me, and I want to prove that I am much better than Zhu Linlu. I can beat him in the operation of high-tech domestic high-precision enterprises, and the same is true in the investment industry. Wen Nuan made the wrong choice."

Zhou Xiangling looked at her stubborn son and knew that it was useless for her to say anything now. She was also very dissatisfied with why Wen Nuan came back, causing her son to target Zhu Linlu at all costs.

She has a lot of opinions about Wen Nuan, and she has always felt that Yi Xin is the daughter-in-law she would be satisfied with. So since Zhan Nanxian is not an option, she can only think of other ways, such as letting Yi Xin return to Zhan Nanxian, so that Wen Nuan will completely give up the idea of ​​being with Zhan Nanxian.

When Bo Yixin received Zhou Xiangling's call, she was dressing up and preparing to go on a date with Zhao Shucheng. Facing Zhou Xiangling's invitation, she couldn't refuse it, so she had to agree.

She went straight to her and Zhao Shucheng's love nest, looked at Zhao Shucheng who was about to leave, and said with some guilt: "Linlu, Zhan Nanxian's mother is back and asked me to meet her, so I may not be able to accompany you today."

Zhao Shucheng went forward and hugged her and said, "Can't we not go? You and Zhan Nanxian have broken up, so she shouldn't be that important to you, right?"

"How can that be possible? She has always been very nice to me, and I also want to see what she is going to say to me. Besides, aren't you going to find Wen Nuan later? Can't I have my own social life?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Bo Yixin's pouting lips and suddenly felt that she was very cute and attractive, so he couldn't help but kiss her fiercely. Bo Yixin was still intoxicated at first, but she quickly reacted. After pushing Zhao Shucheng away, she took out the makeup mirror to look at her smudged lipstick and couldn't help but complain: "Look, my lipstick is all smudged, and my clothes are wrinkled. I even need to put on makeup again before I can go out."

"Why don't we just stay at home and do something we like?"

"No, I have an appointment with someone and I can't break it. Besides, I don't want Wen Nuan to come to my house later. I'm leaving first." After saying this, Bo Yixin left as if she was escaping, as if she was afraid that Zhao Shucheng would really catch her and take her back.

When Bo Yixin arrived at Zhou Xiangling's studio, she immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Auntie, you are finally back. You didn't even tell me so that I could pick you up. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I had a temporary job and couldn't leave."

Zhou Xiangling saw Bo Yixin coming and said with a smile: "It's okay. You are so busy at work, and now you have to take care of your father. Don't get too tired. If there is time, I will go with you to see your father."

Bo Yixin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My father's condition is basically stable now. My friend helped me find a cancer treatment expert. I will check my father's pulse as soon as he rests for a while. He should be able to recover after taking Chinese medicine for a while."

Zhou Xiangling was a little surprised after hearing this and said, "Yixin, is this reliable? Otherwise, let Nanxian help contact some experts in this field and hold a consultation."

"No need. The doctor my friend introduced to me is very good. He has cured many cancer patients. It's just that he is not well-known because his reputation is spread in a small circle. But I have investigated and found that all his patients have really recovered and have never had a relapse."

Zhou Xiangling was also a little surprised after hearing this, but after all, she had experienced Chinese medicine or barefoot doctors before, so she had to admit that sometimes Chinese medicine is really magical and can cure some diseases that Western medicine cannot cure.

She was not bothered about who would treat Bo Yixin's father. After all, the purpose of asking Bo Yixin to come here was to bring her together with Zhan Nanxian.

"Yixin, you and Nanxian..."

Bo Yixin said, "Aunt, I'm sorry. I concealed my family situation before, and Nan Xian and I are indeed separated."

Zhou Xiangling said: "Some things can be forgiven, but some mistakes can never be forgiven. Nan Xian doesn't really care that you concealed your family situation. There's no need for you to separate."

"Aunt, Nan Xian's heart is not on me at all. When Wen Nuan came back, I knew that my chances of winning were slim, so I also hoped that I could fight for it once, but the facts proved that Nan Xian would not like me at all, and would not give me this opportunity."

Zhou Xiangling disagreed with Bo Yixin's opinion and said, "Yixin, you misunderstood Nan Xian. He is just stuck in a dead end now. When he comes to his senses, he will know who is the best person for him, and he will definitely be with you then."

Bo Yixin smiled and said, "Aunt, Nan Xian doesn't know that you came to see me, right? If he knew, he would definitely not want you to come to see me. Besides, I don't know how long it will take to warm up a heart that has not been warmed even after seven years, and I don't know when he will come back. How many seven years can a girl's youth last? I can't wait for another seven years, and I can't afford to waste it. So, Aunt, thank you for your love, but Nan Xian and I are not destined to be together after all. Let us separate like this, it is the best choice for each other."

"But Nan Xian..."

Bo Yixin didn't want to hear Zhou Xiangling continue talking, so she interrupted and said, "Auntie, I really have work to do here, so I can't accompany you. You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."

She really didn't want to face Zhou Xiangling for a moment. She didn't realize it when she liked Zhan Nanxian before, but after she stopped liking him, she realized that Zhan Nanxian and Zhou Xiangling's behavior and words made her so disgusted.

Zhan Nanxian treated her as his decoration, or even as an object to be used at will, without caring about her feelings at all. But Zhou Xiangling was the same. She only treated herself as a nanny to take care of Zhan Nanxian, and even did not care about her feelings at all, and wanted her to stay with Zhan Nanxian all the time. If she really wanted to be a daughter-in-law, why did she stay with Zhan Nanxian, but she never thought about marrying him?

If Zhou Xiangling really wanted to, she could have forced Zhan Nanxian to do so, but in fact she did not do so. Instead, she traveled abroad, under the pretext of forgetting the pain, and completely left the task of taking care of Zhan Nanxian to herself.

Bo Yixin once believed that Zhou Xiangling was on her side, so she thought that she could slowly influence Zhan Nanxian over time, but now it seems that everything is just her wishful thinking.

She only hated herself for being blind in the first place. It took her seven years to prove that she was just an insignificant person in their lives. Maybe if she hadn't met Zhao Shucheng, she would still be foolish enough to give everything for Zhan Nanxian?
Zhou Xiangling watched Bo Yixin leave, thinking that Zhan Nanxian's pursuit of Wen Nuan must have hurt her heart. She knew her son very well. When Wen Nuan broke up with him, she was so painful that she thought she was going to lose her son. Otherwise, she would not have let her husband return to China, and there would not have been the following things. So she couldn't forgive Wen Nuan, and she was afraid that Zhan Nanxian would fall into the painful situation again. So she felt that only by making things clear to Wen Nuan and letting her stay away from her son could Zhan Nanxian give up completely, and only then could Bo Yixin turn back and be with Nanxian.

Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment after receiving Zhou Xiangling's call. After all, they had not been in touch since seven years ago. Now he suddenly contacted her, making her curious about the reason.

When Zhao Shucheng returned home, he saw Wen Nuan sitting on the sofa with a frown on her face, thinking about something. He could not help but move closer to her and smooth her frown, then asked, "What's worrying you so much? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it?"

"Zhan Nanxian's mother called me and asked me to meet her tomorrow. I don't know why she wanted to see me."

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out to be just this."

Wen Nuan patted Zhao Shucheng's chest and said, "But I haven't contacted her for such a long time. Isn't it strange that she suddenly found me?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess, you just overthink it. You broke up with Zhan Nanxian seven years ago, she can't be here to settle accounts, so it can only be because of Zhan Nanxian's recent behavior." (End of this chapter)
