If he continued drinking, he would probably be hospitalized.

Cao Xiangrong looked up and smiled drunkenly. “Are you afraid that I won’t pay?”

Shao Xiuqi sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll help you to the private room at the back to rest for a while.”

He stood up and held Cao Xiangrong’s arm.

Cao Xiangrong did not struggle and only muttered, “Zhiyan…”

Shao Xiuqi supported him and walked back while complaining in a low voice. “It’s useless no matter how much you like her. Look at what you’ve done. You didn’t cherish her when you were together and even caused trouble for her when you broke up…”

Cao Xiangrong’s eyes were misty as he laughed foolishly.

Shao Xiuqi found Cao Xiangrong a quiet private room and threw him onto the sofa roughly.

Cao Xiangrong burped on the sofa.

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

“Hey, are you alright?” he asked Cao Xiangrong after a while.

After a long while, Cao Xiangrong seemed to have reacted. He replied slowly, “Yes, I’m still… alright. I won’t die.”

After drinking, one’s brain would be a little slower than usual.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Shao Xiuqi frowned.

He paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Did Lin Zhi bring you to your first meeting with Gu Zhiyan?”

Shao Xiuqi stared at Cao Xiangrong nervously.

Cao Xiangrong remained silent for a long time, just when Shao Xiuqi thought there would be no outcome today.

Cao Xiangrong said, “No, I dragged Brother Lin Zhi there. I want to invest in a bookstore…”

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

“Why else? I don’t want her to be with anyone else.” Cao Xiangrong raised his hand and covered his eyes with his arm as he muttered in a low voice.

Shao Xiuqi stared fixedly at the figure on the sofa.

A moment later, he let out a long breath and left the private room.

After he left, Cao Xiangrong suddenly put down his arm.

He opened his eyes, which were slightly moist.

At eleven o’clock, Lin Zhi received the surveillance video sent by Shao Xiuqi.

In the dark room, Cao Xiangrong muttered to himself, “No, I dragged Brother Lin Zhi there…”

His expression changed slightly as he watched the video silently.

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 footsteps when he left were very steady.

Shao Xiuqi sent another message. “This guy is doing this on purpose. Is he trying to make peace?”

He was clearly not drunk to the point of spouting nonsense, and it was not as if he did not notice the surveillance cameras above his head.

However, he still told the truth.

Of course, Cao Xiangrong had his own selfish motives.

If he really wanted to help Lin Zhi clarify, he wouldn’t have returned to normal after Shao Xiuqi left.

He did it on purpose. He wanted Lin Zhi to find out that he had said those words while he was sober.

Cao Xiangrong’s actions were, of course, to make peace.

Lin Zhi held his 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.

Back then, he was treated like this.

Now, it was probably the same for Cao Xiangrong.

After watching the video, she would understand Cao Xiangrong’s intentions.

However, he believed in Gu Zhiyan.

He would not waver, and neither would she.

Moreover, he had promised her that he would never lie to her again.

He had to do what he said.

Gu Zhiyan was still awake. She finished watching the video very quickly.

The more she looked, the more her hands trembled.

With this video, her father’s misunderstanding of Lin Zhi could be resolved.

After watching it, she got out of bed and was about to look for Gu Wenbin.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

She quickly returned to her desk and turned on her computer.

She edited the video.

The last paragraph was completely deleted, leaving only Cao Xiangrong’s words.

After editing, she took the video and ran to Gu Wenbin’s room to knock 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. You should prepare well tonight.”

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?

“Alright,” he cleared his throat.

Gu Zhiyan felt uneasy 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 would meet at night.

Things had developed to this point. Her father was finally going to accept Lin Zhi, so she naturally couldn’t mess things up.

She could only wait at home.

At night, Lin Zhi arrived as promised.

He had just woken up a few days ago, and his legs could not walk very well.

He had been lying on the hospital bed for several months. Although there were nurses massaging his muscles every day, his leg muscles were still somewhat degenerate.

Of course, the doctor said that this was normal.

After adapting for a while, Lin Zhi would be able to return to normal.

However, during this time, 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.

However, this meal was really awkward.

At the dining table, the three of them did not say a word until they finished eating.

Gu Wenbin was the first to get up and walk to the study. “I have a pot of good tea in my collection. Come and try it.”

Subconsciously, Gu Zhiyan stepped forward and pushed Lin Zhi’s wheelchair to the study.

Gu Wenbin stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and looked at Gu Zhiyan. “You don’t know anything about tea. If I let you drink it, it’ll be like a cow chewing on a peony.”

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

Gu Zhiyan knew what Gu Wenbin meant. He did not want her to follow him.

However, her father’s attitude was not very clear.

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 doubtfully.

Lin Zhi rowed his wheelchair and quickly entered the study.

Gu Zhiyan sat nervously on the sofa in the living room.

From this position, she could see the door of the study.

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

The study room was very quiet.

Gu Zhiyan’s mood became more and more perturbed.

She could not help but send a message to Ji Yuanyuan. “My dad called Lin Zhi into the study room alone. Do you think I should take the opportunity to send some fruits to the study room and check out the situation?”

Ji Yuanyuan replied very quickly. “Please don’t. Uncle Gu won’t make things difficult for Mr. Lin. Just wait patiently.”

Gu Zhiyan stopped in her tracks.

A moment later, she sighed and sat back on the sofa helplessly.

In the study, Gu Wenbin scrutinized the man in front of him.

“Do you know why I agreed to Zhiyan and Cao Xiangrong being together? Even though Cao Xiangrong isn’t that outstanding.” After a while, he asked.

Lin Zhi’s expression turned cold as he shook his head..
