Two days passed in a flash, and Wu Youyou's mental state remained bleak. Zong Jin had been accompanying her for two consecutive days, and Wu Youyou had lost a significant amount of weight.
The police were still investigating the person who had drugged her, but progress was slow. In the bedroom, Wu Youyou refused to eat the lunch brought by the maid. Zong Jin entered the room, pulled her to the table, and gently urged, "Eat your meal, and then I’ll take you out to the shopping district."
Wu Youyou shook her head. "I'm afraid someone will recognize me."
Zong Jin reassured her, "No one will recognize you; they don’t know about this incident."
Still shaking her head, Wu Youyou replied, "I don’t want to go out; I’m afraid of embarrassing myself."
Zong Jin sighed quietly. "Just eat your food, and then we can go upstairs. I’ll keep you company while you play games."
Wu Youyou looked up at him, her eyes devoid of light and her lips pale. "Will you marry me? If I marry you, no one will point fingers at me anymore."
At that moment, Wen Cuizhi, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, entered the room holding a plate of fruit.
Wen Cuizhi smiled and changed the subject. "Wu Youyou, I’ve cut some fruit for you. There’s also your favorite pineapple. Eating something sweet will lift your spirits."
She turned to Zong Jin and said, "Some people from the company are downstairs. You haven’t been to work for several days; a lot has been delayed."
Zong Jin understood that his mother was trying to help him out of a difficult situation, but he also knew he couldn’t rely on her forever to solve these problems.
Before leaving the room, Zong Jin addressed Wu Youyou again. "I understand that you feel insecure, but hiding from your problems isn’t the solution. Just eat well; I’ll come back up to keep you company soon."
After Zong Jin went downstairs, as expected, no one from the company came looking for him; it was all just an excuse his mother had made.
Meanwhile, Zong Zeyu returned home during his lunch break, mumbling a string of numbers as he entered.
Zong Jin approached him and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Zong Zeyu frowned. "It’s about a new project. I want to give it to my wife to handle, but I’m worried it might be too much pressure for her. She’s obsessed with making money for her dowry; I need to help her earn enough for our wedding quickly."
Zong Jin was confused. "Huh? Marry you?"
Zong Zeyu continued to murmur to himself. "Thirty percent profit margin; four million net profit per month. It may take some time, but it should feel natural and not make my wife uncomfortable. I can’t be too obvious; I have to consider her pride."
Watching Zong Zeyu’s eccentric behavior made Zong Jin feel a bit envious.
Zong Jin reminded him, "Don’t forget about the investigation; the priority right now is finding out who drugged Wu Youyou."
Zong Zeyu replied confidently, "Don’t worry; I've used personal connections to look into it. Plus, my wife has found someone with a higher chance of success—Hou Yi. That person is very familiar with that circle. Hou Yi was also present that day; my wife told me he suspects Lan Qingqing."
Zong Jin's expression grew serious. "If it really was Lan Qingqing, what do you think I should do?"
Zong Zeyu replied indifferently, "We should settle both old and new scores. If it was her, then we should also account for the grievances of how she bullied my wife."
Zong Jin nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, at Hua Yan Medical Aesthetics...
