Zhou Li didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Mingzhu for a long time, studying her expression carefully.
Jiang Mingzhu seemed quite calm. She quickly hid her surprise, and now she had a business-like attitude.
Zhou Li: "Let's eat first."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Oh, okay."
She rang the bell and called the waiter over, "Mr. Zhou, please order first."
Zhou Li: "..."
He casually ordered a few dishes and then pushed the menu to Jiang Mingzhu: "You order."
Jiang Mingzhu followed and added two more dishes.
After the waiter left, the room suddenly became cold. The two of them looked at each other in silence, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhou Li suddenly asked: "Why did you go to work in the foundation?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Find something to do."
Zhou Li: "Oh, do you like it?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah, I really like it. I've always wanted to do it before I went to college."
Zhou Li: "I forgot to bring my official seal. You can go to Wanhua to find Liang Cong to sign the contract next week."
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Okay, what day is it specifically?"
Zhou Li: "Liang Cong will contact you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay."
Jiang Mingzhu felt that she might be judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
She originally thought that after what happened before, Zhou Li might use public affairs for personal gain, but he seemed to be talking to her about this matter in a business-like manner, which made Jiang Mingzhu relax a lot.
When the waiter came to serve the food, Jiang Mingzhu realized that Zhou Li had also ordered a bottle of wine, which had already been opened.
After Zhou Li filled the glass in front of him, he glanced at Jiang Mingzhu: "Would you like to drink?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "I won't drink it."
Zhou Li didn't force it, he put down the bottle, picked up the cup and drank half of it.
Jiang Mingzhu's stomach tightened when she looked across from him, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
She subconsciously wanted to persuade him, but Zhou Li interrupted her: "Why don't you move the chopsticks? Don't you like it?"
Jiang Mingzhu picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li didn't communicate much during the meal. She ate quietly while Zhou Li drank alone.
He drank a bottle of wine with more than 40 degrees of alcohol in a short time.
Jiang Mingzhu saw that Zhou Li's face and ears were red, and he looked drunk.
Zhou Li put down his cup and stood up to walk to the bathroom. He didn't take three steps before he started to stumble.
Jiang Mingzhu stood up and held his arm, "You drank too much."
"Do you want to go to the bathroom? Let me help you." Jiang Mingzhu used two arms to support the weight of his body, which was very difficult.
Zhou Li looked at her drunkenly and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.
Maybe it was because he rarely smiled, so Jiang Mingzhu was a little stunned when she saw him showing this expression.
But he soon realized that he drank too much and went crazy.
After Jiang Mingzhu came to her senses, she planned to continue helping Zhou Li to the bathroom, but he suddenly turned around and wrapped his arms around her.
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Is this a drunken act?
Zhou Li didn't feel that the hug was enough, so he lowered his head and buried it in Jiang Mingzhu's neck.
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't dodge, and a head pressed heavily on her shoulders.
When she lowered her head, she could only see his thick, dark hair.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Zhou Li, you drank too much."
Zhou Li didn't reply a word.
Jiang Mingzhu could only hear his rough breathing.
She had never seen Zhou Li drink too much before, and she didn't know how much he drank.
But I must be quite drunk this time.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'll ask Yuanye to pick you up."
"No." Zhou Li hugged her waist a little tighter. He was so strong that Jiang Mingzhu had difficulty breathing.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Let go of me, I can't breathe."
Zhou Li: "Don't go looking for the wilderness."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I asked him to pick you up. You drank too much."
Zhou Li: "I didn't drink too much."
He rubbed the tip of his nose into her neck, "Zhuzhu..."
Jiang Mingzhu's scalp was numb and she had goosebumps all over her body.
I don't know if it was because of his actions or the name in his mouth.
Now Jiang Mingzhu is even more sure that Zhou Li drank too much: "You go and sit down first, and I'll have someone take you back, okay?"
Dealing with drunkards should be similar to dealing with children. Jiang Mingzhu's tone was obviously not as stiff as before.
Jiang Mingzhu used her strength to help Zhou Li onto the sofa.
When she stood up to get her phone, Zhou Li hugged her again, and he couldn't shake her off like a piece of dog-skin plaster.
"Zhou Li!" Jiang Mingzhu got angry: "Let me go!"
Zhou Li: "Let me go and run away."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Stalking and fighting was indeed annoying. At this moment, Jiang Mingzhu suddenly understood why Zhou Li had broken her hand before.
Because now she really wants to break Zhou Li's hand.
Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath: "I won't run, you let go."
Zhou Li: "No."
Jiang Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore and began to break away vigorously, bumping his body back with her elbows.
Zhou Li was trying to resist her, but he suddenly let go after more than ten seconds.
When Jiang Mingzhu turned around, she saw him holding his stomach with a painful expression, his head covered in cold sweat.
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
——
Ruihe Hospital emergency room.
It has been almost half an hour since Zhou Li was sent in, and there is still no news.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't expect that such a big accident would happen just by signing a contract.
When she was having a headache, the doctor from the emergency room came out and asked, "Who are Mr. Zhou's family members?"
Jiang Mingzhu immediately walked over: "What's wrong with him?"
Doctor: "Drinking on an empty stomach causes stomach bleeding and requires hospitalization. Please go through the hospitalization procedures."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
——
Jiang Mingzhu was still speechless when she stood at the hospitalization payment window.
Zhou Li drank so boldly today, she still thought he had a good drinker.
As a result, he was not only drunk and confused, but also suffered from stomach bleeding.
When Jiang Mingzhu finished the hospitalization procedures and was about to go upstairs, she met Xu Siyan coming downstairs in front of the escalator.
The two happened to meet each other.
After Xu Siyan got off the escalator, he came to Jiang Mingzhu and glanced at the hospitalization form in her hand.
His expression was a little complicated.
"It's you." Jiang Mingzhu handed the hospitalization slip to Xu Siyan: "It's just right if you're here. Zhou Li has a stomach bleed and needs to be hospitalized."
Xu Siyan: "Fourth brother?"
Jiang Mingzhu nodded.
Xu Siyan: "...Did you drink together?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I can't explain it in a few words. Anyway, I leave it to you. You can inform his family."
Jiang Mingzhu handed the hospitalization slip to Xu Siyan and left.
She walked all the way to the parking space and got into the car. She leaned back on the seat like a deflated rubber ball and kept adjusting her breathing.
She must stay away from Zhou Li from now on.
——
Xu Siyan came to the door of the ward with the hospitalization form and gently opened the door.
As soon as he entered the ward, he heard a murmur from the bed: "Zhuzhu..."
Xu Siyan's hand shook as he closed the door, and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
The person on the bed didn't realize it was him and continued talking to himself.
"Don't leave."
"Stay with me."
Xu Siyan: "..."
He took a deep breath and said, "Fourth brother, it's me."
