In the Zong Family Mansion, Hou Yi was indeed sparring with Wu Youyou, intentionally going easy on her. Tong Le and Cui Zhi sat on small stools by the wall, each with a bowl of ice cream, watching as Hou Yi let Wu Youyou take her shots.
Wu Youyou's stamina had not yet returned, but she was determined to take down Hou Yi, putting all her strength into the fight. Hou Yi struggled to evade her punches, careful not to actually hurt her while skillfully avoiding any critical hits. He felt that this was the most nerve-wracking moment of his life.
Cui Zhi laughed as she ate, turning to Tong Le and commenting that this guy was quite handsome. It was rare for Wu Youyou to take the initiative to eat and leave her room. If this guy could come over every day to spar with Wu Youyou, she wouldn’t need a psychologist at all!
Tong Le coughed, "Auntie, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Right now, you see Hou Yi looking good, but give it some time and you might find yourself needing a psychologist instead."
Cui Zhi burst out laughing, "Is it really that serious? He seems pretty decent!"
Tong Le shook his head with pursed lips, "You can't judge a book by its cover; he might not be a good person."
Cui Zhi said, "I just saw him downstairs delivering a condolence gift that even included gold bars. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was here to propose or wanted to collaborate with our Zong Family."
Sighing, Tong Le replied, "He’s not a normal person; there’s something off about him. Just before coming here, he suggested buying Wu Youyou a stun gun and a dagger for self-defense. I told him that was unnecessary; even if she needed one, it shouldn’t be him buying it. Besides, Wu Youyou's current trauma is mainly psychological and needs to be addressed."
Cui Zhi took a deep breath and reflected, "I’ve long considered Wu Youyou as my own daughter. I understand her feelings for Zong Jin now, but as her mother, I’m unsure how to handle this relationship."
Cui Zhi turned her head and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Tong Le thought for a moment and said, "To resolve this issue at its root, Zong Jin needs to express his feelings for Wu Youyou clearly. That way, she won’t hold onto any false hopes. My worry is that Zong Jin might be too soft-hearted and continue to indulge her."
Cui Zhi smiled helplessly, "My eldest son has always struggled to say no."
At that moment, Hou Yi stumbled back repeatedly while shielding his face from Wu Youyou's punches. "I’m done! I really can’t take it anymore! You only aim for my face; I’m out!"
Wu Youyou was drenched in sweat. They say exercise brings happiness; she felt like half of her energy had returned and her spirits were lifted.
Cui Zhi stood up and said, "Let’s take a break. You two should shower with hot water and chat at home while we wait for my two sons to come back so we can have dinner together."
Hou Yi immediately agreed, "Sounds good!"
Cui Zhi beamed with joy. "Then I’ll go downstairs to notify them."
After Cui Zhi left, Wu Youyou stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself. Now that she had regained some clarity of mind, she turned to Hou Yi and said firmly, "It must have been Lan Qingqing. Even though there’s no evidence yet, she’s the only one who would do something like that to me that night. There’s no way I could have gotten so drunk without reason."
Hou Yi removed his boxing gloves and replied earnestly, "I’m already investigating this for you. Regardless of the outcome, I will give you an explanation."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at Wu Youyou and added thoughtfully, "Life will always throw uncontrollable events our way. What has happened cannot be undone; just let it go. If you keep living in the pain of the past, all you’ll think about every day is wanting to escape."
Wu Youyou smiled and asked, "How did you know? Just a couple of days ago, I was indeed thinking about death every moment, but I didn't have the courage."
Hou Yi slightly curled his lips but didn't respond.
He turned to Tong Le and asked, "Where do I take a shower?"
Tong Le frowned, stepped forward, and directly pushed Hou Yi out of the room.
She pushed him all the way to the staircase. Hou Yi turned around and said, "What are you doing? Trying to chase me away? I just helped you take care of Wu Youyou's emotions, and now you want to kick me out?"
Tong Le bluntly replied, "No? Are you really planning to stay for dinner? And eat with Zong Zeyu and Zong Jin? Didn't you have a conflict with them before? Have you forgotten? How can you shamelessly stay for dinner?"
Hou Yi stared at Tong Le in disbelief. "What a heartless woman! I came to the Zong Family to help Wu Youyou, and now that she's feeling better, you're just going to throw me out? Not even letting me have a meal!"
He turned and headed downstairs, determined to find a restroom. "If you won't let me stay, I'll stay anyway! I want to see just how good the food is at the Zong Family!"
Tong Le chased after him, but unfortunately ran into Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi happened to be looking for Hou Yi and waved at him. "Hey there, young man! Come here. Auntie just had the housekeeper put two boxes of fine wine in your car. It's special reserve wine that you can't buy on the market. When you get back, bring it to your parents; they will definitely love it."
