Chapter 253 It’s as sweet as sugar
After coming out of the theater and getting into the car, Xu Fei drove very fast.
"Oh, this matter has been going on for a few days. I thought it should have settled down, but why did it start up again?" Xu Fei muttered.
Nanchun asked, confused, "What's the matter?"
"Second Young Madam, didn't you read the newspaper?"
Nanchun has been so busy these days that he hasn't had time to read the newspaper.
"They say the foreigners beat a young man to death in the concession. He was beaten to death in broad daylight, on a busy street. Well, it's no wonder they're causing trouble.
I wouldn't want to see my friend get beaten to death and the killer walk free, taking no responsibility at all," Xu Fei said.
"What's the specific reason?" Nan Chun asked in surprise.
"They said that the young man insisted on entering the park that only foreigners could enter. That place is a concession, the territory of foreigners, so whatever they say is what it is." Xu Fei said angrily.
Anger rose in Nanchun's heart.
What is their territory?
That's clearly our territory!
"Second Young Madam, this matter...we can't and shouldn't intervene." Xu Fei said hurriedly when he saw Nanchun's face turn pale in the rearview mirror.
Nanchun looked out the window silently.
Xu Fei sighed, "I've never been to school, I can barely read, and I don't understand much. When I was a porter at the docks, I often saw foreigners bullying our people.
But those prominent bosses have to kowtow and fawn over those foreigners. What can we do? We just let them bully us. Some say this land is sick. But we are not doctors and cannot cure this disease.
Nanchun was silent for a moment and said, "No..."
Xu Fei didn't hear clearly and asked, "Second Young Madam, what did you say?"
"It's not the land that is sick, it's the people on this land that are sick," said Nanchun.
The land is here, whatever comes, it's here.
It was the people of this land who gave it up and allowed it to fall into the hands of those bandits.
At this moment, Nanchun finally understood Zhongliang and Yunjin's persistence.
Not reconciled!
Our treasures and our land were taken away by outsiders right before our eyes.
Nanchun was in a bad mood for several days.
On this day, Miss Wei Er came, and Nanchun happened to come down from upstairs and ran into her.
She looked a little haggard, with a blue tint under her eyes.
She looked at Xu Shuisheng and said with a smile: "Didn't you say Nanchun was not here?"
Xu Shuisheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at my memory. Sorry, I remembered it wrong."
"Miss Wei, please come up and sit down." Nanchun said.
"Come out, I'll treat you to afternoon tea." Miss Wei said with a smile.
"Okay." Nanchun replied.
Xu Shuisheng frowned, watched the two get into the car, and hurriedly called Xu Fei over.
"Be careful, this Miss Wei is not a pushover!"
Xu Fei curled his lips and said, "I know she's not a pushover even without you reminding me. Last time I sent her back to school, I asked her one question and she retorted eight times. I didn't dare to talk to her."
"Keep a close eye on her and tell me if there's anything unusual happening." Xu Fei instructed.
"understood."
Xu Fei got in the car and asked, "Second Young Madam, where are we going?"
Nanchun looked at Miss Wei Er, only to see her brows furrowed. "Let's go to the riverside avenue."
After the car started, Miss Wei looked out the window with a frown, as if something was on her mind.
When they were almost there, she turned to look at Nanchun and asked, "Do you mind?"
Nanchun didn't understand what was going on: "What do you mind?"
"I heard they all call you the Second Young Madam. You are obviously a man, but they call you that. Don't you think it's insulting?" Miss Wei said righteously.
Xu Fei curled his lips and thought: Okay, here we go again.
Nanchun was slightly startled.
This name...
He felt a little awkward at first, but... he didn't think it was insulting. Because he was indeed married to Bai Xun as his legal wife, there was nothing wrong with them calling him that.
"It's... nothing, just a name." Nanchun said with a smile.
Miss Wei frowned and looked at him, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes: "Just stop here!"
After getting off the car, a gust of wind blew and the withered yellow leaves fell.
Nanchun looked up and saw the sky was gray, which made people feel a little depressed.
After they walked for a while, Miss Wei sighed and said, "How did you become like this... just like those people in Baijiazhai, numbly and calmly accepting the shackles imposed on you by others."
In Miss Wei's impression, Nanchun has always been a free, unrestrained, and fearless person.
How could he compromise so easily?
Nanchun didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
"Because of the identity of the Second Young Lady, even if you do a thousand times or ten thousand times better than the First Young Master Bai or the Second Young Master Bai, those people will still secretly ridicule you for being the Second Young Lady. If this isn't a shackle for you, what is it?" Miss Wei was a little excited.
Only then did Nanchun understand what she meant.
He smiled and said, "No one can stop everyone from talking. They can say whatever they want. I don't care what others say. I just want to live my life well. Anyway, they don't dare to say it to my face, they only dare to say it behind my back."
"But……"
"If you want others to respect you, you must at least respect yourself. I don't think I am inferior because I married Bai Xun and became the second young lady of the Bai family. So, their words can't hurt me." Nan Chun said.
Miss Wei looked at him in surprise: "You...are you willing to marry Bai Xun?"
Nanchun nodded and said firmly: "Yes!"
"Why? Did the Second Young Master Bai use the head of the family and the great witch to force you?" Miss Wei asked anxiously.
Nanchun shook her head and said, "No, I like Bai Xun. He didn't use anyone to force me. He asked me if I was willing to marry him, and I agreed. It's that simple! You know my reputation in Baijiazhai. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
Miss Wei opened her eyes wide. She had never thought that Nanchun would really like Baixun.
Then what is the meaning of her hatred for Bai Xun?
"Miss Wei Er, I know you are sincerely thinking about me. But you can rest assured. Bai Xun is really good to me. I didn't take the wrong path, and I didn't choose the wrong person." Nan Chun said.
Miss Wei's eyes were red and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
I am so ridiculous...
He self-righteously wanted to rescue Nanchun from the dire straits, but he didn't know that she was enjoying it and even relishing it.
Maybe Second Young Master Bai is too good at disguising himself?
He was a man who said one thing in public but did another, fooling everyone. Nanchun was simple-minded, so it was normal for her to be deceived and fooled by him.
