The melodious piano music in the restaurant was still echoing, and Zhong Ziyi was silent for a long time before finally sighing.

"From the very beginning, you shouldn't have handed over so much real power to Yang Yutong, Xuanci, think about it, Canran Group is your Li family's industry, although Uncle Li would ask Yang Yutong's opinion before, but it is the same as the emperor must have a few clear-headed auxiliary ministers, his opinion can only be used as a reference, how can it not be like you to directly let the power go by, and give the decision of the group's business to others."

"I don't want to, Brother Ziyi, but as long as I knew how to manage Canran's business, I wouldn't have come to this point. Yang Yutong knows me too well, he has grasped all my weaknesses, and I can't play him at all. Until he had a complete showdown with me a few days ago, I didn't realize that he had laid out the big picture so deeply."

When she said this, Li Xuanci's reason was completely shattered in the choking sound, her eyes were red, her slightly drooping eyelashes were wet with a thin layer of mist, and the tears that didn't have time to fall were forced back into her eyes with all her might.

Seeing Li Xuanci's appearance, Zhong Ziyi's lips touched up and down, and he couldn't say anything about reproach. He habitually stretched out his hand as before, wanting to rub the tips of Li Xuanci's hair, but before he could raise his arm to the table, he was quickly controlled by reason, obviously even Zhong Ziyi himself felt that such an ambiguous move was inappropriate and crossed the line.

Then he clenched his fists and put them back under his sleeves, only pretending to be bland in his explanation.

"Yang Yu is scheming with the old man, he didn't even see Uncle Li's true face earlier, how can it be a little girl like you who has no sense of victory, it's okay, Xuanci, let's find a way to solve the problem, don't mess with yourself and your little boyfriend too, he didn't want to remind you a few words before, and he doesn't know how to coax you now"

"Shen You reminded me at the beginning, but Uncle Yang said that a smart person like him is nothing more than a plot to be with me, and he may not have too many true feelings. My ears are soft, it's okay once or twice, I will inevitably have some doubts when I listen to it too much, plus what Shen You does say to me, of course he has nothing to say about my kindness, but I always feel that there is something missing when I get along, and I can't help but think about it for a long time, I don't know if what Yang Yutong said is true or false, and there is only doubt left for Shen You. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ziyi didn't say anything for a long time, and he didn't have a position to say anything at all.

In the relationship between Shen You and Li Xuanci, even if he gives comfort, it seems unjustifiable, and no matter how much he evaluates, it is a bit redundant.

"It's pointless to turn around and talk about these things now, but Xuanci, you still have to have the basic judgment that you should have, others can't teach you these things, you have to think about it yourself and ask me what to do, but no matter how much I put forward my opinions, it's nothing more than opinions, not to mention that it is mixed with personal opinions, it is difficult to be objective, can it be compared to you, the party, who thinks thoroughly?"

After a long time, Zhong Ziyi picked up the wine glass that was placed aside and took a sip unhurriedly.

The red wine has a faint bitter taste in the mouth, lingering between the lips and teeth, with the astringency of the wine for a long time, from the tip of the tongue all the way to the bottom of the heart, just like what he said at the moment, he has tried his best to evaluate many things from the perspective of a bystander, but it is still inevitable to bring a little emotion.

"Who's good to you and who's not good to you, these don't depend on other people's evaluations, you have to taste them yourself. I once told you, I don't know if you took it to heart before you changed those messy boyfriends, I didn't tell you, see if a man likes you, don't just listen to the nice words he says, but look at what he does, who can't say love words, who can't lie to girls, can you live a lifetime with your mouth?"

"Brother Ziyi, I was bad before, I was too playful"

Li Xuanci bit her lower lip tightly and whispered out a sentence, probably because she was holding back her crying, her final voice was a little sticky and hoarse, and it sounded more moving than usual.

"What you told me, how could I not remember, although my emotional intelligence is not so high, but who is really good to me, I can still tell. Over the years, no matter what happens, you are willing to stand on my side, take care of me sincerely, and you are the only one who accompanies me unconditionally, you have always been the most special existence in my heart, so after the Li family accident, the first person I thought of was you, Brother Ziyi. ”

Probably his mood has changed too much, Zhong Ziyi was not deceived by Li Xuanci's clumsy performance, and he was too lazy to deceive himself anymore, so that after listening to these words, he didn't feel very moved, but just wanted to laugh a little.

"Okay, Xuanci, if you really think about my kindness to you, you won't have anything to do, and you won't have anything to do with summer and spring. Not to mention, you know that the spring garden is an industry that I invest in, and Ji Munan is not right with me, but it is also a matter on the table, and he actually cooperates with the Ji family on the project of the dream, standing on the opposite side of me, even if it is for the friendship between the Li family and the Zhong family, there is no such thing, what else can I say?"

"Brother Ziyi, you listen to my explanation, this is really not my problem, how can I stand on the opposite side of you and fight against the Spring Garden, it is all Yang Yutong's idea, I was stripped of my rights by him, there is no way at all"

Who knew what Zhong Ziyi said casually, but it completely made Li Xuanci panic, she suddenly raised her head and hurriedly explained.

"I know that Spring is full of gardens and Liyuan Hall are not dealing with each other, this matter is very popular in Xinguang City, how could I not know that I still think that if I have the opportunity, I must talk to you about cooperation. But Canran doesn't have a Peking Opera business, and after my dad was hospitalized, the group's messy mess has never stopped, and I haven't found a suitable opportunity."

When she said this, Li Xuanci's fingers clenched the dinner knife tightly, because she was too hard, her fingertips had faint white marks, and the panic in her heart was exposed.

"Then Ji Munan came to me with the intention of cooperating with Dream, I really didn't plan to agree at first, what kind of friendship I have with you, what's the matter, I might be in a hurry to find you unhappy. But Yang Yutong and Shen You both think this matter is very reliable, I can't talk about them, the board of directors has been putting pressure on me, I really can't bear Brother Ziyi, can you be considerate of me. ”

Zhong Ziyi squinted slightly, watching Li Xuanci make up a clumsy lie, and blurted out almost subconsciously with a half-sneer.

Suddenly, talking about these now, it is really not that Zhong Ziyi deliberately embarrassed Li Xuanci.

He didn't pretend to test something inadvertently, and he didn't need Li Xuanci to give any explanation for the past confrontation after the passage of time, the reason why he would bring up the old things again was at best Zhong Ziyi's heart with a little emotion, so when the chat was going on here, this emotion also blurted out.

For the Canran Group and the Ji Family Alliance, of course Zhong Ziyi has been mindful, after all, Li Xuanci is too unauthentic in this matter, but anyone with a little temper can't accept it, let alone Zhong Dashao, a straightforward son-in-law.

When he first heard the rumors, Zhong Ziyi was drinking with his friends, and he was a little too drunk after three rounds, and he was feeling dazed, and even his brain circuits were a few beats slower than usual. Suddenly, I heard a buddy next to me who didn't know him ask about the fact that Canran Group had taken over the project that Geometry had rejected before, what was the situation in this matter, and whether there was an inside story

Zhong Dashao didn't take it seriously at first, and thought that this was a friend who deliberately took advantage of the alcohol to tease people, and directly said with laughter, the dream project is half-dead, but anyone with a clear eye will not take over, you are a fool when you are the board of directors of Canran Group, you have to be hungry to what extent to cooperate with the Ji family, there is a fart insider.

But the other side continued to argue, not to mention that the contracts on Canran's side were signed this afternoon, this is a first-hand source. Zhong Ziyi didn't believe it, and he was completely dumbfounded when the guy took out the real hammer, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and he was almost choked to death by the whiskey with ice that he suddenly poured in.

For a long time after that, Zhong Ziyi couldn't raise his head in the circle.

The old artists in the Spring Garden are all good people, and no one will say anything about Zhong Ziyi's private affairs, but the status and influence of the Canran Group in Xinguang City are there, once the Li family and the Ji family are aligned, it is equivalent to the Ji family having quite a large number of allies, which cannot have no impact on the small opera troupe that has just started in the Spring Garden.

Whether it's a matter of facts, or taking precautions, during that time, there was always a lot of talk about these things in the Spring Garden, and those feelings and worries were poked in Zhong Ziyi's heart like a knife, although no one knew about his emotional entanglement with Li Xuanci, how the Canran Group decided in the final analysis had nothing to do with him Zhong Ziyi, but Zhong Dashao still felt a little sorry for the Spring Garden, as if he had done something wrong.

As a half-informed person, Su Yiyang also ridiculed him, co-authoring Miss Li who has been chasing Miss Li for so many years, and it is enough to drop the price if he didn't successfully hold the beauty, but in the end he actually fell into a stumbling block in his family's career, what a tragic word.

The fox friends and dog friends in the circle who met in various social bureaus also inevitably squeezed Zhong Ziyi a few words after hearing the rumors, "What is the situation of Zhong Shao this time, the horse is still frustrated in love, isn't Miss Li the little sister you booked early in the morning, why did she become your business opponent, is this a break or a rage?"

In this regard, Zhong Ziyi couldn't say anything, and he couldn't comment more.

He said in his heart, the ghost knows what Miss Li thinks, but no matter how much he has an idea in his heart, he can still call Li Xuanci to ask why he did things so unsuccessfully

It's not right, so why bother looking for each other.

At the beginning, Zhong Ziyi still had some expectations, hoping to get a decent explanation, even if Li Xuanci only gave a little pitiful care, he would happily forgive these decisions, and handle his career and feelings clearly, and continue to choose to be good to her with selfishness.

But after so long, no matter how angry Zhong Ziyi was in his heart, he calmed down a lot with the passage of time, and he didn't need a so-called explanation at all, or delved into right and wrong, and those words that couldn't be asked were swallowed back into his stomach, and became insignificant with the relief of self-deception.

To put it bluntly, after being too disappointed, Zhong Ziyi wanted to open it, and he really didn't care.

To this day, Zhong Ziyi doesn't need Li Xuanci to show this grievance at all, tell a few forcible lies to give an explanation, and even this unrequited love that has lasted for many years but has no meaning, he doesn't want to continue.
