Chapter 17: Scheming Money Worshiping Substitute 17
It was getting late, Lin Zhi was in a trance, immersed in her own world. Zhou Congli was worried that something would happen to her alone, so he had to arrange for her to stay in an apartment of his own, and asked Assistant Zhang to buy dinner .
Then he told her to send him a message if anything happened. He looked at the person sitting on the sofa blankly and turned around to leave.
Ling Zhi suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and pursed her lips: "Can you please not leave..." The little face looking up at him showed helplessness and uneasiness in her eyes.
Zhou Congli was about to refuse, but he saw her thin white fingers turning white due to tension and her body trembling slightly.
He fell silent, and Lin Zhi thought he was rejecting her, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "I, I'm scared."
After experiencing such a big blow and being abandoned by her boyfriend, in fact, she was only twenty-two years old this year, even It's normal to be scared when you've just started working.
Zhou Congli thought that the culprit was still his brother, so he could only agree: "Okay, I won't leave."
Lin Zhi immediately raised a grateful smile on his face and loosened the hem of his clothes .
"You should eat first." He said.
"Yeah!"
After dinner, Lin Zhi entered the guest room.
Zhou Congli watched the door close and returned to the bedroom. He looked at his phone and wanted to call Zhou Ye, but thinking that Lin Zhi was unwilling to tell him, he had to give up temporarily.
I was still a little irritated just thinking about what happened today, so I simply started working and soon got into a state of mind and forgot all the chores.
When he came to his senses, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and the whole house was quiet. There was no movement in the guest room where Lin Zhi was. He rubbed his stiff neck, got up and washed briefly before resting.

The next day, Zhou Congli woke up from bed, opened the door and planned to take care of his personal hygiene. When he opened the bathroom, he ran into a woman in a bathrobe. She was washing clothes with her hands. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wide open, as if she was touched by him. Startled.
Zhou Congli subconsciously closed the door and held it behind his back: "Sorry, I didn't know you were in there." He hurried back to the bedroom, feeling annoyed that he had forgotten that there was an extra person at home.
With just a quick glance, he still saw Lin Zhi's overly smooth and fair skin, her long hair pulled back, and her long neck.
The whole person looks pure and charming, different from the usual sweetness and elegance.
As for his apartment, because he only considered it to be close to the company, the decoration was to suit his personal habits. There is a lounge, fitness area, and study room. Although there is a guest room, only one bathroom is installed.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Zhi's thin voice said: "President, can you help me see how to use this?"
Zhou Congli walked out and looked at her, Lin Zhi was a little confused Nervous, still wearing the bathrobe: "I washed the clothes, but your dryer I'm not very good at using the machine, can you help me take a look?"
Zhou Congli nodded, walked into the laundry room, asked her to put the clothes in, and then clicked a few times to operate the dryer: "Wait later. You can come and get it."
Ling Zhi nodded, thanked him, and the two came out of the laundry room.
"I'm going to wash up first. I'll make a call for takeout later. You answer the call and open the door for him."
"Oh, okay."
Zhou Congli went to wash up. Lin Zhi sat on the sofa, some I yawned sleepily. I cried too much yesterday and was still a little tired after a night's rest.
At this time, the phone on the table rang. She picked it up and saw that it was 'Li Ruoyao'. She raised her eyebrows and hung up without hesitation.
But the phone rang again soon, which seemed to show its owner's disbelief. She curled her lips but didn't answer it, and kept letting the phone vibrate until she stopped. The screen lit up, and a message came from v-mail: Congli, are you busy?
Lin Zhi rested her chin on her hand, a little confused about the character of Li Ruoyao. She was obviously Zhou Congli's fiancée, but she was unwilling to hang out with Zhou Ye alone.
While she was with Zhou Ye, she couldn't bear to leave Zhou Congli, and was wavering between the two men.
But she dared to hook up with Zhou Ye, and she was not afraid that Zhou Ye would know that she still cared about Zhou Congli. But on the other hand, she never dared to let Zhou Conli know that she was having an affair with Zhou Ye.
She knew very well that with Zhou Congli's character, once she found out, she would break off the engagement without hesitation.
After a while, the phone vibrated again. Lin Zhi saw that it was a takeaway. She went over to open the door to get the takeaways and placed them on the table one by one. Zhou Congli had just put them away and came out from the shower.
The two sat down to eat in the restaurant. Lin Zhi looked at him with an apologetic expression: "President, it seems that Miss Li called you just now and I accidentally hung up. I'm sorry...will anything happen? Impact?"
Zhou Congli was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone: "It's okay, I Explain it to her."
Ling Zhi hesitated: "What are you going to tell her? Tell her that I live here? Girls will be angry when they hear this."
Zhou Congli paused. , looking at her, Lin Zhi's eyes were pure: "You'd better not say that."
Zhou Congli nodded: "I got it."
Ling Zhi curled her lower lip and started eating breakfast. Zhou Congli helped her out of good intentions and was honest, but she let him know that he was hiding his beauty in the golden house. It can’t be known yet.
-
After dinner, Zhou Congli was about to go to the company. He hesitantly looked towards Lin Zhi’s room. The guest room door opened from the inside. Lin Zhi put on her clothes and walked out. He was surprised: "Where are you going?"
Ling Zhi smiled bitterly: "I bothered you yesterday, I'd better go back today."
Zhou Congli did not object, but said: "Have you thought about what to do? Do you want to keep...the child?" It was a bit difficult for him to say this, after all, aborting it would be very harmful to the body.
For some reason he was a little confused when he thought about the child, and he felt uncomfortable looking at her in pain.
Ling Zhi lowered her eyes and looked at her lower abdomen: "I... haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it again."
She looked at Zhou Congli and smiled: "Thank you, CEO. You were helping me from the beginning, I I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Zhou Congli immediately said: “No, it’s Zhou Ye who feels sorry for you. I’m his brother, so I should do this.” Recently, he felt really exhausted because of Zhou Ye.
Lin Zhi shook her head: "It has nothing to do with him."
She added, "President, I would like to trouble you to ask for a leave for me later. I will not go to the company today."
Zhou Congli just said When she said 'and Zhou "It doesn't matter." He was disappointed with Zhou Ye and nodded: "Okay, I will help you. You should be careful and tell me if you have anything."
He felt that Lin Zhi was still very strong, and it only took one night Just calmed down.
However, he was still a little worried, fearing that she would do something stupid. It was not until he saw that she had entered University A that he felt relieved and went to the company.
He told Assistant Zhang to ask for leave for Lin Zhi, and then went to meet the partner according to the schedule. He had dinner with the partner at noon. After finishing his work, it was already afternoon, and he sent a message to Lin Zhi to ask if she was okay.
According to the address given by Assistant Zhang, we drove to the store where Li Ruoyao tried on wedding dresses today.
