Chapter 719 Lying
Bian Zhi noticed that Li You was in a strange mood.
As if she was overwhelmed by something in an instant, she said to Li You, "Brother, have you encountered any problems? If so, tell me, I may be able to help."
Bian Zhi spoke sincerely.
After hearing what Bian Zhi said, Li You laughed at himself and said, "Help me?"
Li You didn't know whether he was asking Bian Zhi or himself.
He even wanted to question Bian Zhi: If you really wanted to help me, why did you tell An Xinran about my past without my consent?
Do you really consider me your senior brother?
Li You wanted to ask, but when he looked up and saw Bian Zhi's clear eyes, he didn't know how to start.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. When he was unwilling to speak, he wanted to fight for another possibility for himself and give Bian Zhi another chance to explain.
The office door opened.
An Xinran walked in.
Bian Zhi glanced at An Xinran, who was stunned for a moment when his eyes fell on Li You, and then quickly looked away in a hurry.
Bian Zhi returned his gaze to Li You. Li You and Bian Zhi had always talked in front of An Xinran, so Bian Zhi subconsciously felt that there was nothing wrong with what Li You was about to say.
Bian Zhi looked at Li You frankly, "Brother, what were you about to say?"
Li You, whose anger had just gradually subsided, became furious again because of Bian Zhi's words.
In his mind, Bian Zhi was asking questions even though he already knew the answer.
He even wanted to ask Bian Zhi in return: What? It’s not enough to talk about his private affairs behind his back, but you also want to torture him to death in front of An Xinran?
Bian Zhi looked at Li You in confusion. His expression was filled with indignation and hatred. Bian Zhi frowned slightly in confusion.
As Li You's eyes became more ferocious, a man stood in front of Bian Zhi, blocking Li You's sight.
When meeting Zhou Suihuai's gaze, Li You's eyes flashed. This man was definitely not as simple as the pretty boy he appeared to be. The look he gave him back was filled with protection and a murderous intent even more ruthless than his own.
Li You slowly withdrew his gaze, feeling very uncomfortable being suppressed by the gaze.
He had a stern face, did not answer Bian Zhi's question, did not even look at An Xinran, and left the office without saying a word.
Bian Zhi had no idea what was going on with Li You.
However, she intuitively felt that this matter should be related to An Xinran.
She looked at An Xinran, who was standing at the door and had been silent since she entered, and asked, "What happened between you and Li You?"
This question made An Xinran's back tighten.
She knew that Li You came in to question Bian Zhi, and she was using a clumsy method to try to find out the secret in Li You's heart.
The moment Li You got angry, she did not explain to Li You that it was her own stubbornness.
Now, Li You was very angry, and it also affected Bian Zhi. At this moment, Zhou Suihuai, who was standing beside Bian Zhi, also looked at her with questioning eyes.
Everyone has bad habits, and An Xinran is no exception.
So, when Bian Zhi asked this question, she hurriedly answered, "I don't know."
Bian Zhi looked at An Xinran's guilty look and knew she was lying.
She couldn't guess what the lie was about. After a moment of silence, she gave Zhou Suihuai a look. Zhou Suihuai understood and left the office.
An Xinran watched Zhou Suihuai go out. She didn't know what Zhou Suihuai was going to do.
She still didn't dare to confess, for she was afraid that Li You would hate her for being dishonest if he knew.
She was also afraid that Bian Zhi would distance himself from her if he knew the truth.
Bian Zhi never avoided her when doing things, whether it was the affairs of the Huo brothers, the future plans of the Huo family, or even the handling of the traitors within the Huo family.
She knew that this was all because Bian Zhi trusted her.
She was worried that once she told him, Bian Zhi would become wary of her and would stop being nice to her.
These are all things that An Xinran is afraid of.
The more afraid you are, the more guilty you feel.
After watching Zhou Suihuai leave the office, An Xinran added softly to Bian Zhi, "I really don't know what happened to Li You?"
There was a pause.
An Xinran added, "However, I saw him talking to Butler Li standing at the door of the toilet."
These words fell.
Bian Zhi frowned.
"With Butler Li?"
"Are you seeing right?"
"Li You and Butler Li are talking at the toilet door?"
People outside may not know the reason, but everyone in the Huo family knows that Li You and Butler Li are not close. Bian Zhi knows the reason and understands that these two people are usually called by Butler Li when he has something to do. It is unlikely that Li You will talk to Butler Li at the toilet door.
"I'm not mistaken," An Xinran was startled by Bian Zhi's question, but she quickly added, "It's not surprising, right? Butler Li and Li You are father and son. Is there something wrong with them talking to each other?"
An Xinran asked Bian Zhi in return.
Seeing that Bian Zhi didn't answer, An Xinran continued, "Besides, Li You was adopted and raised by Butler Li. He should be grateful to Butler Li and should respect him. Talking to him shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"Or..." An Xinran speculated softly, "Is there some reason that outsiders don't know?"
Bian Zhi smiled softly upon hearing this, "No, I just felt that the bathroom doorway wasn't a suitable place to talk."
An Xinran said: "Oh", and felt that Bian Zhi's answer seemed reliable, but a woman's sixth sense told her that Li You's rejection of her might be because of Butler Li?
So, An Xinran carefully glanced at Bian Zhi and asked in a low voice, "Boss Bian, can you tell me the truth? Is it because of Butler Li that Li You doesn't agree to be with me?"
Bian Zhi was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface. She did not deny it immediately. Instead, she smiled gently and asked An Xinran, "Why do you think so?"
An Xinran's face was filled with suspicion and speculation, a drama had already unfolded in her mind, "Because I always confront Butler Li, he is not happy with me being his daughter-in-law. Li You has no choice but to distance himself from me because of Butler Li's kindness in raising him, right?"
Bian Zhi: “…”
"But I targeted Butler Li because Li You said he was afraid, not because I really hated his adoptive father," An Xinran regretted. "I was ignorant about this matter. I shouldn't have been rude to Li You's adoptive father. After all, Li You was raised by Butler Li. Mr. Bian, how about I go and apologize to Butler Li?"
Bian Zhi felt that An Xinran had a really wild imagination.
Being stared at by An Xinran's earnest eyes, Bian Zhi rubbed his brows in speechless and troubled expression, "You think too much."
An Xinran didn't believe it, "How is that possible?"
Bian Zhi replied, "Li You rejected you from the beginning. In the hospital, before you even targeted Butler Li, he rejected you. So, that's not the reason. Stop the tragic drama in your mind." An Xinran was about to speak again, but Bian Zhi raised his hand towards the door and said, "Think about it carefully. Your brain is hurting from all the noise. Go outside and calm down for a while, okay?"
An Xinran lowered her eyes and thought for a while before nodding.
It was not until he reached the door that he recalled the misunderstanding between Li You and Bian Zhi caused by him.
An Xinran thought to herself with a sense of luck:
There will be no problem.
These two people have known each other for many years.
She just said a sentence or two, the meaning of which she herself couldn't guess. Li You wouldn't really be angry with Bian Zhi.
Definitely not.
Comforting herself in this way, An Xinran walked out of Bian Zhi's office.
