Xia Zimu put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Maybe I didn't make it clear before, I think we still..."

"Xia Zimu." Lu Jinghao rarely interrupted her rudely, "I won't force you, but I hope you don't avoid me like a snake."

His handsome facial features were still as calm and indifferent as usual, but the words he spoke were not to be questioned.

Xia Zimu looked at him, feeling a little confused, didn't say any more, and ate silently.

After lunch, Xia Zimu got up to say goodbye.

Lu Jinghao went out with her, "I'll see you off."

Xia Zimu stopped at the door, "No, I drove here."

"Is the wound on your shoulder healed?"

"It's almost there, it will be fine when the scars fall off."

She has been applying medicine to remove the scars recently, and the traces should disappear after a while.

Lu Jinghao nodded, "Goodbye."

"See you next time."

Xia Zimu left Yunshang Mansion and returned to the hospital where Xia Zhengguo was staying.

After arriving at the hospital, she contacted the doctor for a full-body physical examination.

In her previous life, she was tortured by stomach cancer for several months, and she really didn't want to have that painful experience a second time.

In this world, if you can prevent it, you can prevent it, early detection and early treatment.

Of course, it would be best not to.

The test results came out, everything is normal.

She threw the medical report into the trash can and went back to Xia Zhengguo's ward.

The bodyguard guarding the door reminded: "Miss Xia, Mr. Xia Sen is here. He greeted the old man in advance, and we let him in."

"understood."

Xia Zimu pushed open the door, and Xia Sen was indeed inside.

Seeing her coming, Xia Sen had a warm smirk on his face, "Mumu."

Xia Zimu put the bag on the table, "Uncle Tang, why are you here?"

"Is it just a few days before your grandpa's [-]th birthday? I'll come over and discuss with your grandpa what to do with this birthday party."

Xia Zimu frowned, "Grandpa isn't in good health yet, isn't he suitable for participating in such a large-scale event?"

"I just asked the doctor. Uncle is recovering very well. There is no problem. Uncle has been in the hospital for so long and is finally about to be discharged. It would be nice to hold a birthday banquet for him and cleanse the dust by the way."

Xia Zhengguo also said: "I've lived in the courtyard for so long, and it's uncomfortable to stay alone for a long time. It's okay to make a fuss. I've already promised your cousin, and he will take care of it."

After Xia Zhengguo said that, Xia Zimu didn't say anything more.

The two discussed the details of the birthday banquet again, and Xia Sen didn't leave until the nurse brought the dinner.

After Xia Sen left, Xia Zimu said worriedly: "Grandpa, Uncle Tang is very careful and considerate. He does nothing to show his kindness. I suspect he may have other purposes."

"Mumu, I know your cousin is a bit unkind, but we are a family after all, he should just care about me this time."

Xia Zhengguo's most important thing is family affection, otherwise, after Ruiwen started, it would not be possible to distribute the shares in his hand to those in the collateral.

In the previous life, it was precisely because of his defenselessness that the entire Xia family was eaten away by Xia Sen's family.

Xia Zimu secretly sighed.

Forget it, she'll just be on guard when the time comes.

After leaving the hospital, Xia Zimu returned to his apartment.

At the door of the apartment, Gu Huaixi was waiting for her.

She didn't intend to say hello to him, and was going to go upstairs directly.

Gu Huaixi strode over and stopped her, "Xia Zimu."

Xia Zimu bypassed him and continued on. Gu Huaixi moved again, blocking her way, "Give me 2 minutes, I want to talk to you about Manman."

Yan man?

Xia Zimu stopped in his tracks, with a stern face, "Why, do you want to settle accounts after Qiuhou? The cooperation between Ruiwen and Huaifeng has been completely terminated. I don't know how Gu Shao will deal with me this time?"

She still remembered what this man said to her when she said she would expose Yan Man's matter last time.

He said: "If you dare to pour this dirty water on Manman, it will be more than a simple matter of divestment."

Gu Huaixi also remembered what he had said.

But he didn't come here today to ask the teacher for his crimes.

"I've already checked out Manman's matter. It's true that she...she slandered you, and the previous customs incident was not done by you."

He followed Xia Zimu to Yunshang Famous Mansion today, and left soon after.

He asked Yang Fan to check the authenticity of the evidence on Xia Zimu's Weibo.

Yes, even though the evidence was already in front of her and Yan Man had admitted what she had done, Gu Huaixi still had some concerns in her heart.

The perception that Xia Zimu is a villain has been deeply ingrained in him, and it was hard for him to accept that it was completely overthrown within a day.

Now, he had to accept it.

The results he checked out by himself were the same as those on Xia Zimu's Weibo.

She didn't lie.

It was he who had misunderstood her all along.

Apart from forcing him to marry, she had never done anything wrong to him.

Xia Zimu looked at him coldly, without any ups and downs in his emotions, "And then?"

Gu Huaixi was taken aback by her question.

He imagined many kinds of Xia Zimu's reactions, grievance, surprise, anger...

But she never thought that she would be so calm.

It was as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with her.

She no longer cared what kind of image she had in his mind.

Gu Huaixi's eyes were gloomy, and he handed her a black document bag, "I bought the villa in Shannanyuan for you, and there are several projects that Huaifeng will do next, I want Ruiwen to do it , as compensation for my previous divestment.”

Xia Zimu didn't go to pick up the file bag, and said resolutely, "No need."

"Don't you see how much this is worth first?"

Xia Zimu pulled his lips, and the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Young Master Gu, do I look like someone who bends his waist for five buckets of rice? Even if it's ten billion, as long as you give it to me, I don't even bother to take it."

She is indeed short of money, but she will earn it with her own hands.

She doesn't want his charity.

She had knelt before him long enough, she didn't want to kneel any more.

Gu Huaixi's fingers tightened, and the file bag was crumpled by him, "Xia Zimu, a businessman is after profit, why are you struggling with money? Bringing personal feelings to work is a big taboo in business."

"I'm not a pure businessman. If I only had interests in my eyes, I wouldn't have taken a loan of 50 billion a year ago in exchange for an impossible relationship."

When mentioning the past, Xia Zimu was open-minded, but Gu Huaixi suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

She brought 50 billion to marry into Gu's family and rained timely rain on Gu's family.

She is the savior of the Gu family, but he regards her as a thorn in his side, making her endure his cold violence for a whole year for no reason...

He was silent for a long time, and then spoke again, with a hoarse and dry voice, and said with difficulty: "I am willing to compensate you for the divestment and all the past. Whatever you want, you can..."

"No need." Xia Zimu's attitude was resolutely calm, "This is not the only thing you are sorry to me, if you have to make up for everything—

"Can you make it up?"

After saying that, she bypassed him and went upstairs, leaving only Gu Huaixi standing there for a long time.
