Nan Zhi did not sleep for almost the entire night.
Who could fall asleep when this sort of thing had happened?
She sat by the window and stared at the sky from night until the break of dawn. She felt like she was completely emptied.
Her brain kept replaying the scenario yesterday when she met with the Old Madam.
She even thought of the possibility of the Old Madam not getting a heart attack, if she agreed to her request. Would she have still been alive?
What if…
Did her stubbornness really kill someone indirectly?
If she did, then she did not need Mu Sihan’s forgiveness, as even she could not forgive herself!
Nan Zhi closed her eyes, feeling an undeniable exhaustion hit her for the first time. She was in no mood to work in such circumstances.
She got up to wash up and change her clothes, before she went to the broadcasting company to request for leave.
Several people pointed at her from the moment she stepped into the main lobby. Their gazes on her were all weird.
Several colleagues that were closer to her usually also avoided her when she entered the office. They acted like she was some terrifying monster.
Only Xia Xi hurriedly pulled her to the side the moment she saw Nan Zhi.
“Sister Zhi, have you seen Weibo?”
Nan Zhi shook her head tiredly. “No, did something happen?”
Xia Xi took out her phone and opened the Weibo application to show her a video.
The video was taken in the very room that Nan Zhi and the Old Madam were in. Both of their faces were blurred out, and the video was only ten seconds, yet there wasn’t any sound.
The video started when the Old Madam got up and knelt in front of her, and ended with her sitting on the sofa stiffly instead of helping the Old Madam to stand up.
The netizens did not know that the woman in the video was her, but several colleagues in the broadcasting company had recognized her clothes and bag.
There were all sorts of criticism under the video’s comments.
“This woman is too cold-blooded, she actually let an old lady kneel in front of her.”
“Although I can’t see her facial expression, I think she must be smiling smugly.”
“How much does she hate the old lady to let her kneel in front of her?”
“B*tch, what a devious woman! Everyone must fi do everything to find out who she is!”
Another netizen then revealed that the old lady in the video had passed away from anger.
The comments exploded.
…
At the same time, Mu Sihan had gotten Yi Fan to find the person who had posted the video the moment it was uploaded online.
It was uploaded by a young man from a rich family.
He was brought to the manor and he trembled in fear when he saw Mu Sihan’s Hades-like dark expression. He did not wait for Mu Sihan to ask anything before he revealed everything that he saw.
“My interest is photography and I was filming in the clubhouse’s garden. When I passed by their room, I happened to see an old lady kneel down in front of that woman. I felt that it was very strange, so I filmed everything secretly.”
“I only uploaded the video because I couldn’t stand that woman’s indifference and cold-bloodedness.”
Yi Fan passed the digital recorder in the rich young man’s hand to Mu Sihan.
Mu Sihan’s expression darkened the more he watched the video.
The video that the rich young man had recorded had more than what he uploaded. It continued after Nan Zhi left and the Old Madam started to be too emotional afterwards, which caused her heart to act up and she fell onto the floor. The video ended with the service staff coming into the room.
I’m the entire video, no one else apart from Nan Zhi, the Old Madam and the service staff entered the room.
The doctor had given the Old Madam a thorough checkup, and it was confirmed that she had passed away from a heart attack. There were no other reasons.
…
Nan Zhi was frozen after she watched the video.
However, compared to her, she knew that Mu Sihan was in greater pain.
What could be worse than seeing his grandmother kneeling in front of her? What was more ruthless than seeing the woman he was interested in, being the reason his grandmother had suffered a heart attack?
And the worst part was that she hadn’t had a chance to tell him at all.
The moment she left the broadcasting company, Nan Zhi called him immediately.
