Chapter 877 Soft Heart
If I drink any more, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the hospital.
Cao Xiangrong raised his eyes and smiled drunkenly: "Why? Are you afraid that I won't pay?"
Shao Xiuqi sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you go to the private room in the back to rest for a while."
He stood up and held Cao Xiangrong's arm.
Cao Xiangrong did not struggle, but just murmured: "Zhi Yan..."
Shao Xiuqi supported him and walked to the back while complaining in a low voice: "It's useless for you to like her. Look at what you have done. You didn't cherish her when you were together, and you still make her feel upset after you broke up..."
Cao Xiangrong had his eyes hazy and was grinning foolishly.
Shao Xiuqi found a quiet private room for Cao Xiangrong, and then threw him onto the sofa somewhat roughly.
Cao Xiangrong lay on the sofa and burped.
Shao Xiuqi didn't leave. He stood at the door and looked up at the corner of the private room thoughtfully.
After a moment, he tentatively spoke to Cao Xiangrong: "Hey, are you okay?"
After a long while, Cao Xiangrong seemed to have just reacted. He replied slowly, "Well, it's... it's okay. I won't die."
When people drink alcohol, their brains become slower than usual.
Shao Xiuqi frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He paused and asked in a low voice: "The first time you met Gu Zhiyan, was it Lin Zhi who took you there?"
After asking, Shao Xiuqi stared at Cao Xiangrong nervously.
Cao Xiangrong didn't speak for a long time, just when Shao Xiuqi thought that there would be no results today.
Cao Xiangrong spoke up, "No, I took Brother Lin Zhi with me. I wanted to invest in a bookstore..."
"Then why did you lie to Uncle Gu? What good will it do you?" Shao Xiuqi asked angrily.
"Why else? I don't want her to be with anyone else." Cao Xiangrong raised his hand, shielded his eyes with his arm, and murmured in a low voice.
Shao Xiuqi stared at the figure on the sofa.
After a moment, he let out a long breath, turned around and left the private room.
After he left, Cao Xiangrong suddenly put his arm down.
He opened his eyes, and there was a slight moisture in his eye sockets.
At eleven o'clock, Lin Zhi received the surveillance video sent by Shao Xiuqi.
In the dark room, Cao Xiangrong murmured to himself: "No, I took Brother Lin Zhi there..."
His expression changed slightly, and he watched the video in silence.
At the end of the video, Cao Xiangrong was lying alone in an empty room.
He raised his head and glanced at the surveillance camera casually.
Then he stood up and left the room.
His steps were steady as he left.
Shao Xiuqi sent another message: "This guy did it on purpose. Is he asking for peace?"
He was clearly not drunk enough to talk nonsense, nor was he unaware of the surveillance camera above his head.
But he still spoke the truth.
Of course, Cao Xiangrong also has selfish motives.
If he really wanted to help Lin Zhi clarify things silently, he would not have immediately returned to normal after Shao Xiuqi left.
He did it on purpose, deliberately letting Lin Zhi find out that he said those words while he was sober.
Of course, Cao Xiangrong's actions were an attempt to seek peace.
Lin Zhi held the phone in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he did not edit the video and sent the complete video to Gu Zhiyan.
He knew that Gu Zhiyan was a soft-hearted girl.
That was how it was for him back then.
Now, the same is probably true for Cao Xiangrong.
After watching the video, she will understand Cao Xiangrong's intentions.
But he believed in Gu Zhiyan.
He would not waver, and neither would she.
Besides, he had promised her that he would never lie to her again.
Do what you say.
Gu Zhiyan hadn't slept yet, and she quickly finished watching the video.
The more she looked, the more her hands shook.
With this video, Dad’s misunderstanding of Lin Zhi can be resolved.
After reading it, she got out of bed and went to find Gu Wenbin.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
She quickly returned to her desk and turned on her computer.
She edited the video.
The following paragraph was completely deleted, leaving only Cao Xiangrong's words.
After editing, she took the video and ran to Gu Wenbin's room and knocked on the door.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Zhi received a call from Gu Zhiyan.
Her voice was trembling with excitement.
"My dad wants to see you tonight, so you better prepare yourself."
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his heart began to pound.
Did the old man believe what Cao Xiangrong said in the video?
He cleared his throat and said, "Okay."
Gu Zhiyan felt a little uneasy throughout the whole day.
She wanted to go to the hospital to accompany Lin Zhi, but Gu Wenbin refused to let her go out on the grounds that they were going to meet in the evening.
Things have developed to this point, and her father has finally accepted Lin Zhi, so she naturally cannot mess things up.
She could only wait at home.
In the evening, Lin Zhi arrived as promised.
He had just woken up a few days ago and his legs were still not able to walk very well.
He had been lying in bed for several months. Although a nurse massaged his muscles every day, his leg muscles still degenerated a little.
Of course, the doctor said this is normal.
After adapting for a period of time, Lin Zhi will be able to return to normal.
But during this period, Lin Zhi could only sit in a wheelchair.
Lin Zhi was pushed in by his assistant.
Gu Wenbin prepared a meal to entertain Lin Zhi.
But this meal is really awkward to eat.
At the dinner table, the three of them remained silent until they finished eating.
Gu Wenbin stood up first and walked towards the study: "I have collected a can of good tea, come and try it."
Gu Zhiyan subconsciously stepped forward, pushed Lin Zhi's wheelchair, and went to the study.
Gu Wenbin stopped.
He turned around and looked at Gu Zhiyan: "You don't know how to drink tea, so giving it to you is like a cow chewing a peony."
After saying that, Gu Wenbin turned around and went into the study.
Gu Zhiyan knew what Gu Wenbin meant, that he didn't want her to follow.
However, my father's attitude has always been unclear.
She was afraid that her father would make things difficult for Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi naturally knew what she was thinking. He gently reached out and patted the back of Gu Zhiyan's hand: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu won't make things difficult for me."
Gu Zhiyan let go of her hand half-believingly.
Lin Zhi pushed his wheelchair and quickly entered the study.
Gu Zhiyan sat down on the sofa in the living room with some trepidation.
From this position, you can see the door of the study.
She would be able to see Lin Zhi and the others as soon as they came out.
It has always been very quiet in the study.
Gu Zhiyan became more and more anxious.
She couldn't help but send a message to Ji Yuanyuan: "My dad called Lin Zhi into the study alone. Do you think I should take the opportunity to go to the study to send some fruit and find out what's going on?"
Ji Yuanyuan replied quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu won't make things difficult for Mr. Lin, just wait patiently."
Gu Zhiyan paused in her movement to stand up.
After a moment, she sighed and sat back on the sofa helplessly.
In the study, Gu Wenbin looked at the man in front of him.
"Do you know why I agreed to let Zhiyan and Cao Xiangrong be together? Even though Cao Xiangrong was not that outstanding." He asked after a while.
Lin Zhi looked stern and shook his head.
