Chapter 877 Soft-hearted

If I drink any more, I'm afraid I'll end up in the hospital.

Cao Xiangrong raised his eyes and smiled drunkenly: "What? Are you afraid that I won't give you the money?"

Shao Xiuqi sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll help you go to the private room at the back to rest for a while."

He stood up and held Cao Xiangrong's arm.

Cao Xiangrong didn't struggle, he just murmured: "Zhiyan..."

Shao Xiuqi supported him and while walking back, he complained in a low voice: "It's useless no matter how much you like me. Look at the things you've done. You didn't cherish them when we were together, and you still have to give them to me after we break up."

Add to the trouble..."

Cao Xiangrong's eyes were covered with confusion, and he giggled.

Shao Xiuqi found a quiet private room for Cao Xiangrong, and then threw him on the sofa somewhat roughly.

Cao Xiangrong lay on the sofa and burped.

Shao Xiuqi did not leave. He stood at the door and looked up at the corner of the private room thoughtfully.

After a while, he tentatively spoke to Cao Xiangrong: "Hey, are you okay?"

After a long while, Cao Xiangrong seemed to have finally reacted. He replied slowly: "Well, it's... not bad, 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: "Did Lin Zhi take you there when you and Gu Zhiyan first met?"

After asking, Shao Xiuqi stared at Cao Xiangrong nervously.

Cao Xiangrong didn't speak for a long time, just when Shao Xiuqi thought there would be no results today.

Cao Xiangrong spoke, "No, I dragged Brother Lin Zhi there. I wanted to invest in a bookstore..."

"Then why did you lie to Uncle Gu? What good will it do to you?" Shao Xiuqi asked angrily.

"Why else? I don't want her to be with anyone else." Cao Xiangrong raised his hand, covered his eyes with his arm, and murmured in a low voice.

Shao Xiu looked at the figure on the sofa intently.

After a while, he took a long breath, turned around and left the private room.

When he left, Cao Xiangrong suddenly lowered his arm.

He opened his eyes, and there was a slight moisture in his eyes.

At eleven o'clock, Lin Zhi received the surveillance video from Shao Xiuqi.

In the dark room, Cao Xiangrong murmured to himself: "No, I took Brother Lin Zhi there..."

His expression moved slightly and he finished watching 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 monitor seemingly casually.

Immediately, he stood up and left the room.

When he left, his steps were very steady.

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 overhead.

But he still told the truth.

Of course, Cao Xiangrong also has selfish motives.

If he really wanted to silently help Lin Zhi clarify, he would not immediately return 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 awake.

Cao Xiangrong's actions are of course seeking peace.

Lin Zhi held the phone and was 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 the case for him back then.

Now, I'm afraid the same is true for Cao Xiangrong.

After seeing the video, she will understand Cao Xiangrong's intentions.

However, he believed in Gu Zhiyan.

He will not waver, and neither will she.

Besides, he once promised her that he would never lie to her again.

Do what you say.

Gu Zhiyan was not asleep yet, so she quickly finished watching the video.

The more she looked, the more her hands shook.

With this video, Dad's misunderstanding about Lin Zhi can be resolved.

After reading it, she got up and went to find Gu Wenbin.

Suddenly, she thought of something again.

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 few 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 and excited.

"My dad wants to see you, so be prepared tonight."

Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his heart began to beat loudly.

Did the old man believe what Cao Xiangrong said in the video?

He cleared his throat: "Okay."

All day long, Gu Zhiyan felt a little uneasy.

She originally wanted to go to the hospital to accompany Lin Zhi, but Gu Wenbin refused to let her go out because they would meet at night.

Things have developed so far that her father has finally accepted Lin Zhi, so naturally she can't mess things up.

She can only wait at home.

In the evening, Lin Zhi arrived as promised.

He had just woken up a few days ago and still couldn't walk very well with his legs.

He had been lying on the hospital bed for several months. Even though nurses massaged his muscles every day, his leg muscles were still somewhat degenerated.

Of course, the doctor said this is normal.

After a period of adaptation, 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.

It's just that this meal is really awkward to eat.

At the dinner table, the three of them remained silent until they finished eating.

Gu Wenbin got up first and walked to the study: "I have collected a can of good tea. Come and try it."

Gu Zhiyan subconsciously stepped forward, pushing Lin Zhi's wheelchair to go to the study.

Gu Wenbin stopped.

He turned back and looked at Gu Zhiyan: "You don't understand tea. What you drink is just cow chewing peonies."

After saying that, Gu Wenbin turned around and entered the study.

Gu Zhiyan knew what Gu Wenbin meant, and she didn't want her to follow him.

However, my father's attitude has never been clear.

She was afraid that her father would make things difficult for Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi naturally knew what she was thinking. He reached out gently 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 in doubt.

Lin Zhi rowed his wheelchair and quickly entered the study.

Gu Zhiyan sat on the sofa in the living room with some anxiety.

From this position, you can see the study door.

She could see Lin Zhi and the others as soon as they came out.

In the study room, it has been very quiet.

Gu Zhiyan's mood became more and more uneasy.

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 deliver some fruit and explore the situation."

Ji Yuanyuan's message came back quickly: "Don't, Uncle Gu won't embarrass Mr. Lin. You can just wait and see."

Gu Zhiyan's movement to stand up paused.

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 Zhiyan and Cao Xiangrong being together in the first place? Even though Cao Xiangrong is not that outstanding." After a while, he asked.

Lin Zhi looked stern and shook his head.
