Their eyes met, Jiang Mingzhu looked embarrassed, while Zhou Li remained expressionless as always.
Xu Yingfei: "Mingzhu is here to see you on behalf of their company."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
Xu Yingfei hurriedly came out to smooth things over and invited Jiang Mingzhu to sit down.
After Jiang Mingzhu sat on the sofa, she saw the coffee cup with half a latte left in it.
She frowned subconsciously.
Doesn’t Zhou Li have a stomachache? Why are you still drinking coffee?
He really knows how to commit suicide.
Xu Yingfei: "Mingzhu, do you want some coffee? I'll make you a cup."
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, thank you."
Xu Yingfei: "Really? I see you've been staring at my cup."
After Jiang Mingzhu learned that the cup of coffee belonged to Xu Yingfei, she breathed a sigh of relief, but soon remembered something unpleasant.
After she spent the night at Royal Water Bay last time, Zhou Li refused to drink a cup of coffee in the morning.
Cheapskate.
Just as Jiang Mingzhu was thinking this, Zhou Li had already walked up and sat on the sofa opposite.
Xu Yingfei said "I'm going to get some fruit" and then headed towards the kitchen.
Only Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li were left sitting face to face in the living room.
The distance between the two was much closer than before, so Jiang Mingzhu could see Zhou Li's pale and haggard face more clearly.
Even the lips are turning purple.
Jiang Mingzhu pursed her lips and spoke businesslikely: "On behalf of Yanhe, I'm here to visit Mr. Zhou. How is Mr. Zhou's health?"
Zhou Li: "Oh."
He didn't even have the desire to say another word.
Jiang Mingzhu is not a person who is particularly good at being hot-faced and cold-butt, so it doesn't matter to people who don't care.
But Zhou Li...
She pondered for a long time before saying, "I heard from Liang Zhu that you often drink on an empty stomach and you get stomachache and cough up blood."
When Jiang Mingzhu said these words, she clearly saw displeasure flashing through Zhou Li's eyes.
It's like someone's privacy has been invaded.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I asked. Liang Zhu will not disclose your situation to others at will."
Zhou Li: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "...You should go get a check-up. If you are always coughing up blood, the situation should be more serious. That was what happened to me at the beginning."
In fact, these words should not be said, or in other words, she has no position to say them.
But the words were rushed, and at this juncture, they all followed him unconsciously.
Jiang Mingzhu's kind words were rewarded with a sneer from Zhou Li, "What do I have to do with you?"
When he doesn't save face, the words he says are really ugly, and a few words can put people into embarrassing situations.
Jiang Mingzhu took a deep breath and pinched her palms: "Just think of it as a concern between friends. We have known each other for several years."
Zhou Li: "You are not."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
At this point in the conversation, Xu Yingfei came out carrying fruit.
Xu Yingfei warmly entertained Jiang Mingzhu to eat fruit. Jiang Mingzhu bit the bullet and ate a few strawberries, which tasted like chewing wax.
Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Mingzhu saw Zhou Li covering his stomach.
Xu Yingfei happened to see it too. She hurriedly asked before Jiang Mingzhu: "You have stomachache again? Didn't you just take medicine?"
Zhou Li: "I'll go upstairs and take a rest."
Xu Yingfei: "...Is it really okay? Or go to the hospital!"
Zhou Li: "No need."
Xu Yingfei: "I'll help you."
As she spoke, she stood up and helped Zhou Li upstairs under Jiang Mingzhu's gaze.
Jiang Mingzhu sat on the sofa and looked at the backs of the two people with extremely complicated eyes.
——
"Are you okay?" Xu Yingfei asked Zhou Li in a low voice as soon as the bedroom door closed.
Zhou Li puts his arm
He took it out of Xu Yingfei's hand and said expressionlessly: "It's okay."
Xu Yingfei glanced at Zhou Li's stomach and said, "You really acted just now. I was scared by you."
Zhou Li didn't respond.
Xu Yingfei: "Actually, I secretly listened to you just now."
She crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Zhou Li with a smile: "Mingzhu still cares about you. Your words really hurt people's hearts."
Zhou Li still didn't respond.
Xu Yingfei: "How long are you going to pretend?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you. People's patience is limited. She has already taken the initiative to visit you. It will be bad if you continue to carry her like this."
Zhou Li: "She didn't come to see me."
If it weren't for Yanhe's cooperation with Mingchuan, Jiang Mingzhu would not have even set foot in Yushui Bay even if he died at home.
Although Zhou Li only said one sentence, Xu Yingfei immediately understood what he meant.
Xu Yingfei rubbed her eyebrows with a headache: "Why are you so obsessed with this? She is just following the script you arranged."
Zhou Li: "You don't understand."
Xu Yingfei really didn't understand at this moment: "Then what are you going to do? She should be leaving."
Zhou Li: "Follow her."
Xu Yingfei: "What are you doing to yourself?"
Zhou Li: "..."
Xu Yingfei often heard people complain that it was difficult to guess a woman's thoughts.
She actually felt that it was more difficult to guess a man's thoughts, especially a boring man like Zhou Li.
Xu Yingfei stared at Zhou Li for a long time, analyzed it for a long time, and then expressed her speculation: "Do you want Mingzhu to stalk you and pursue you relentlessly?"
Zhou Li: "I didn't say."
Xu Yingfei: "But that's what you think."
"But you have to think about the current situation. She thought I was your fiancée and that we were going to get married. The last time she confessed to you and your reaction was like that, she must have thought that it would be impossible for you two in this life. Ah." She analyzed the current situation to Zhou Li in a serious tone, "Mingzhu is still a very proud person, you can't..."
"Let her go." Zhou Li interrupted Xu Yingfei before she could finish her words.
——
Jiang Mingzhu sat uneasily downstairs for more than ten minutes, and finally waited until Xu Yingfei came downstairs.
After Xu Yingfei came down, she apologized to Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm sorry, Mingzhu, for not entertaining you well."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It doesn't matter. How is Mr. Zhou doing?"
Xu Yingfei seemed to have a headache and rubbed her temples tiredly: "It's not good, but he won't cooperate to see a doctor. There's nothing we can do about him."
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
At this point, Xu Yingfei probably didn't lie to her.
Her statement was exactly the same as Liang Cong's.
During Jiang Mingzhu's silence, Xu Yingfei continued to sigh helplessly: "I coughed up blood again when I went upstairs just now. I was worried that he had something wrong with him..."
Jiang Mingzhu's hands clenched into fists.
The frequency of coughing up blood is a bit too high.
"Sorry, I may not be able to entertain you today. I have to go up and take care of him." Xu Yingfei said tactfully.
But Jiang Mingzhu understood, she nodded and got up to change her shoes.
She really has no qualifications to stay in Yushui Bay now.
Moreover, while Xu Yingfei was still there, there was no effective communication between her and Zhou Li.
After coming out of Yushui Bay, Jiang Mingzhu took a taxi to the Sesame Foundation to have dinner with Fu Xiaozhi.
Jiang Mingzhu has been depressed since she sat down.
Fu Xiaozhi looked worried: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Has Zhou Li been in poor health these past two years?"
