Zhao Xihua took another big sip of wine. Seeing this, Zhou Kai said, "Drink less."
It's enough for the two of them to drink enough. There is no need to get drunk. Otherwise, when Lin Nuo comes back and sees Zhao Xihua drunk, it will be bad for them to quarrel.
Zhao Xihua waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can still drink this little bit of wine."
Zhou Kai didn't stop him anymore, but just asked, "What are you talking about that I don't know?"
Zhao Xihua sneered and said, "You always tell me that Lin Rui lent me money because he treated me as a friend, and that I should remember this favor. But in fact, I am also very sincere to Lin Rui."
"When Lin Rui was arrested..."
"Wait." Zhou Kai asked curiously, "When was Lin Rui arrested? How come I didn't know? What was he arrested for?"
Lin Rui is a very honest man and has not done anything illegal or harmful to others, so how could he be arrested?
"You don't know this!" Zhao Xihua burped. "I drank a lot today and talked a lot. Plus, you're not an outsider. If it were any other time, I wouldn't have mentioned this to you."
"Just get to the point." Zhou Kai couldn't wait any longer.
Zhao Xihua didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It happened when I was about to get married. The police suddenly came to my house and took me to the police station for questioning. That's when I found out that they had arrested Lin Rui. They suspected that he was involved in the murder of the girl because he passed by the scene that night."
Changing the subject, he continued, "If it were anyone else, who wouldn't feel unlucky? I was about to get married at that time, but I didn't take it to heart and continued to be friends with Lin Rui."
"I'm not as successful as Lin Rui right now, but if I were better than Lin Rui, would I refuse to lend him money if he asked for it?"
Hearing him say this, Zhou Kai suddenly remembered that the murder case of the young girl during that period was indeed a hot topic.
After a while, they said the murderer was caught, but later they said the wrong person was caught, and finally a pair of brothers were caught.
He never imagined that this case was actually related to Lin Rui.
After thinking about the whole process, Zhou Kai said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Lin Rui's business is doing better and better now. It would be bad for him if the news got out."
"Am I such a gossipy person?" Zhao Xihua was unhappy.
He added, "Zhou Kai, we grew up together. Your relationship with Lin Rui is better than mine, and you even speak in his favor."
He was feeling a little jealous.
"I'm not on his side." Zhou Kai said, "We grew up together, so of course you and I have a good relationship, but Lin Rui is also our friend. I'm just telling the truth."
Zhao Xihua was even more unhappy. He didn't respond, poured another glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Zhou Kai said, "Xihua, why have you changed now? You've become a little narrow-minded."
Zhao Xihua was not like this before. After Zhao Xihua got married, he gradually changed.
Perhaps Zhao Xihua had drunk a little too much, and his speech was a bit incoherent. He could no longer suppress the things hidden in his heart, and said with a complaint: "If I hadn't known Lin Rui, how would I have known Lin Nuo? If I didn't know Lin Nuo, how could I have married her?"
"My conditions aren't great, but they're not bad either! Plus, with my job in the city, it shouldn't be hard for me to find a wife I like, and I won't end up marrying someone I don't like."
