That’s right, Xu Dazhi was Si Zhengting.
Now that makeup techniques had advanced by leaps and bounds, no one could recognize him with it on.
And Xu Dazhi’s presence was too weak. This group of people had never really interacted with him; thus, they were unable to recognize him.
After listening to this, he pursed his lips. “They’re people who behave outrageously and ferociously. Have you explained this to the brothers?”
Ji Chen replied, “Rest assured, sir. I’ve already explained everything clearly. Everyone is willing to offer their services to you.”
Si Zhengting said, “Hm, we don’t need to confront the tough with toughness. They’re well-trained professionals. As long as they can guarantee that she won’t die, it’s fine.”
Ji Chen acknowledged the order.

Xu Dazhi’s words were like a siren ringing by Zhuang Nainai’s ears.
Yes, she wasn’t deliberating over what had happened. Now that things had progressed to this stage, what she had to do was to ensure that she’d regain her strength and become healthy!
Thus, after Xu Dazhi brought the groceries back and made dinner for them, Zhuang Nainai ate ferociously.
After she had her dinner, she lay down on her bed. Zhuang Nainai felt sleepy again.
She gazed at the ceiling, listening to Xu Dazhi and Lin Xi’er saying their goodbyes outside. She wondered how life was so unexpected in nature.
Who would have thought that while she was in confinement, the people who would be taking care of her was not her mother, not her husband, not her mother-in-law, but a group of friends instead?
Luckily, she had Xu Dazhi by her side who knew everything. If not for him, she really wouldn’t have known what to do.
As she thought about this, she sighed. She saw Lin Xi’er walking over. Lin Xi’er crouched by Zhuang Nainai’s side. “Nainai, is Xu Dazhi married?”
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback by her words. She replied a moment later, “I don’t know.”
Zhuang Nainai then asked, “It seems as though Xu Dazhi is very familiar with this place. Has he been here a couple of times already?”
Lin Xi’er nodded and replied, “The day you were discharged from the hospital, Su Yanbin brought him over. He has been taking care of you these last couple of days. However, I don’t know him very well, so we haven’t interacted much. Zuo Yiyi’s the one who has been taking jabs at him daily.”
Su Yanbin had brought Xu Dazhi over?
Didn’t Si Zhengting dislike Xu Dazhi? Why would Su Yanbin bring Xu Dazhi over?
But before she could puzzle over this mystery at length, Lin Xi’er pushed her arm. “Don’t think about anything now. If you think too much, you’ll be expending too much physical and mental effort. You should rest more. When your body is back to normal, you can resume whatever it is you want to do.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Lin Xi’er watched her sleeping deeply, then crept to the living room. She started fiddling with her phone.
After a while, the phone rang. Lin Xi’er looked down and saw Su Yanbin’s number flashing on the display. She immediately answered his call. “What, are you inviting me to supper again?”
“That’s right, beautiful. Are you leaving the house?”
Lin Xi’er glanced toward the master bedroom. “I shouldn’t. Nainai woke up today. It wasn’t like the past couple of days where she was unconscious. If she needs anything…”
“What kind of needs would she have?! Have you had dinner?”
Lin Xi’er rubbed her empty tummy. “I’ll have some snacks.”
Xu Dazhi had made dinner only for Nainai. She still hadn’t eaten!
There were still some dishes left, but they were meant for pregnant women. No matter how well-made they were, they would still drive her, someone who couldn’t live without spicy food, crazy!
“I’ll treat you to spicy crayfish.”
Lin Xi’er’s eyes lit up. “Hold on.”
