Zhuang Tunan smiled and said, "Beautiful! Very beautiful! What made you decide to come see me, Li Jia!"
Anna looked at Zhuang Tunan uneasily and asked, "Miss Zhuang, who is Li Jia?"
Zhuang Tunan hurriedly explained, "She, she's my ex-girlfriend!"
Anna frowned and said, "It's Li Jia, the one who went to school with you and did the archaeological excavation of Pingyao Ancient City with you!"
"Yes, that's her!"
Anna then smiled and said, "Hello, Li Jia, I'm Zhuang Tunan's girlfriend. Thank you for coming to see him, thank you!"
Li Jia's expression immediately froze, and she asked Zhuang Tunan, "Is she your girlfriend?"
Zhuang Tunan nodded at first, then suddenly shook his head and said, "Sort of, but not really. I'm still considering it. My health hasn't fully recovered yet, and I'm afraid of burdening her, so I'm hesitant to agree to be her boyfriend!"
Li Jia suddenly said very sincerely, "Tu Nan, let's go back to being boyfriend and girlfriend! I don't mind your leg problems, I can take care of you, serve you, and never leave you, okay?"
Zhuang Tunan was secretly pleased, even somewhat eager, but he said, "Don't you have a boyfriend? A retired soldier?"
"Yes, I admit it! We were all ready to get married, and I even borrowed money to buy a house for our wedding. But before the wedding, he had a premarital checkup, and the doctor said his sperm quality was too poor, and he was at risk of infertility!"
"He used to be a soldier, he should be in great physical condition, how could he be like that?"
"The doctor said it's a matter of individual constitution, and has nothing to do with occupation or physical exercise; it's a matter of genetics!"
"He's a veteran who once defended his country. Why would you abandon someone like that?"
"I,,!"
Li Jia paused for a moment, then said, "Am I wrong to want a child of my own?"
“You can’t force a child like this. Are you just going to abandon the person you’ve been with all your life? Just like when I broke both my legs, you abandoned me too. Isn’t what you’re doing a bit too much?”
"Ha ha!"
Li Jia laughed and said, "Everyone has selfish motives, don't they? I gave up on you back then because I couldn't see a future with you, so I was confused! And what about you? Didn't you also look down on Wu Shanshan's pursuit? It made her personality change drastically, and she made things difficult for your Zhuang family at every turn!"
"this,,!"
"Everyone knows that love is beautiful, but how many people actually marry for love? Aren't they all just getting what they need and making do with each other? So I've come to terms with it. Your legs will be healed soon, and we can go back to work at the design studio together again!"
"I'm sorry, I won't go to the design studio with you. I believe in love, and I won't get back together with you!"
Li Jia glanced at Anna beside her and said, "Are you really going to marry this foreign devil?"
Whether I get married or not is my business, it's none of yours!
"Don't you know that Western women often have a muttony smell and they usually have body odor under their arms? Would you really marry a woman like that?"
"this,,!"
Zhuang Tunan glanced at Anna furtively, but still said, "I, I'm not afraid at all! I love this kind of thing, because I want love!"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for saying such hypocritical things!"
Zhuang Tunan suddenly looked up and said to Anna with deep affection, "Anna, will you marry me and be my wife?"
Anna suddenly froze for a moment, then looked at Zhuang Tunan helplessly, tears streaming down her face. It was as if she sensed the arrival of happiness, but she couldn't quite believe it.
Seeing Anna stunned, Zhuang Tunan quickly shifted his body, then grabbed Anna's hand and said, "Anna, marry me!"
Anna then nodded and said, "I, I agree!"
Just as Zhuang Tunan successfully proposed, Li Jia, seeing that her arrival had not made Zhuang Tunan change his mind but instead allowed them to get together, stomped her foot in anger and left the ward.
After leaving the hospital, Zhao Hai went to the movie theater. He wanted to talk to Zhou Chengzhi about what to do about the matter.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Dongzhe across the street saw him and quickly called out, "Hey, Zhao Hai, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Hai glanced at the movie theater first. Although it was nearby, he couldn't go to the movie theater first because he knew Lin Dongzhe. If he ignored Lin Dongzhe's greeting, it would seem impolite. So he smiled at Lin Dongzhe and crossed the road.
Lin Dongzhe then asked, "What? Are you looking for Zhou Chengzhi?"
Zhao Hai just smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a small matter, I just wanted to talk to him, what's wrong?"
"Hmph! What's wrong? I'm warning you! Anyone who goes after Zhou Chengzhi is a villain, and they all end up dead! Two of them are already dead!"
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"What happened? Don't you know? Your cousin Erlaitou followed him, and what happened to him? He was executed, right? Zhuang Zhennan helped him steal my father-in-law's property certificate, and he was so ashamed that he tried to run away abroad, but he got killed! Let me tell you, everyone who follows him is a big villain, and none of them have a good ending. Don't associate with him, or you'll easily get into trouble!"
Zhao Hai listened to Lin Dongzhe's words and thought they made a lot of sense, but when he thought about the shares in the development rights, he still had a bit of wishful thinking in his heart, and said: "I'm talking to him about purchasing goods. Isn't it hot now? This is a movie theater, there's a lot of foot traffic. I want him to sell mineral water and beer for me!"
"Hehe, are you out of your mind? This is a movie theater, not a restaurant. If you drink too much water in a movie theater, you'll be going to the bathroom and won't be able to see the exciting parts of the movie!"
"I'm thinking of selling one bottle at a time, unlike your big supermarkets where people come to you automatically. My small shop has little foot traffic, so I'm just thinking of delivering some goods!"
"Okay, if it's because of this, I won't stop you. But if you're looking for him for something else, then I have some advice for you!"
"Okay, we're practically family! Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know if anything else comes up!"
"Alright! I won't keep you any longer, go and talk! I hope you can close a big deal!"
"Haha, thank you!"
Zhao Hai then returned to the other side of the street, went to the ticket counter in the cinema loft, and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Zhou Chengzhi here?"
Wu Shanshan was selling tickets in the attic. She looked up and saw Zhao Hai, saying, "Oh, who is this? It's Young Master Zhao! What do you need my husband for?"
Zhao Hai curled his lip and snorted, "It wasn't me who looked for him, he looked for me first, so that's why I came to find him!"
"He's in his office! Go ahead! Wang Jie is there too!"
"Wang Jie? What is he doing?"
"What? Is he not able to do it? Do you and my husband want to talk about something shady?"
"you,,!"
Zhao Hai glared at Wu Shanshan, ignored her, and went into the movie theater with his head down. Only then did he say what was on his mind: "You bitch, why am I even talking to you?"
He knocked twice on the door of the cinema's office.
The person who opened the door for him was none other than Wang Jie. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Wang Jie hurriedly said, "Oh! I didn't expect it to be Zhao Hai. Come in, come in!"
As soon as Zhao Hai entered the office, he sat down on the sofa, lowered his head, and started playing with his fingers without saying a word.
Wang Jie, sitting back down on the sofa, noticed Zhao Hai's head was down and he wasn't speaking. He knew he wasn't in a good position and might be blocking others from speaking, so he smiled and said to Zhou Chengzhi, "Brother Zhou, I'll be going now. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll definitely help you!"
"Okay, then I won't see you off!"
Wang Jie had no choice but to get up again, walk out of the office, and close the door behind him.
Zhou Chengzhi glanced at Zhao Hai and said, "Speak! Now that there's no one else around, what do you want from me?"
Zhao Hai then changed his posture and looked at Zhou Chengzhi, saying, "You gave us too little time. The mission wasn't completed, and Xiang Pengfei and his family of three have been transferred to a hospital in Shanghai. What should we do next?"
