Chapter 56 -56 It seems like you particularly despise him

Xu Jinzhi hadn’t managed to find Xie Yanchuan before she received a call from Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen was calling to inquire about the situation. Xu Jinzhi, with no intent to hide anything, relayed the events to him and ended with, “I certainly don’t plan to just let this go.”

Over the phone, Xu Zhen was silent for a moment before asking for her opinion, “So what exactly are you suggesting?”

From Xu Zhen’s perspective, the responsibility indeed weighed heavier on Xie Linchuan’s side this time. Not being able to find someone at a critical moment may not have been a severe issue this time, but what if something really serious had happened?

However, from another angle, the incident wasn’t serious; both families were in a business collaboration, and on top of that, the pending marriage between Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan meant that their families were pretty much tied together.

Xie Suian could have a problem with this incident and could reprimand Xie Linchuan, but if Xu Jinzhi was to dwell on this matter and try to make something of it, it probably wouldn’t look good.

Nevertheless, Xu Zhen has always been on Xu Jinzhi’s side. Thus, when Xu Jinzhi spoke her mind, he didn’t immediately dismiss her concerns but instead asked her how she wished to proceed.

“I forgot to tell you that the reason Xie Linchuan was unfindable today is because he was off romancing,” Xu Jinzhi said, her voice thick with mockery.

“Logically, what Xie Linchuan does shouldn’t concern me, but our families have a cooperative relationship, and everything was agreed in advance. Now, to ask me to clean up his mess, that can’t be right, can it?”

“That’s indeed where the young man fell short,” Xu Zhen admitted.

Just as Xu Jinzhi was about to respond, Xu Zhen added, “But Jinzhi, I feel something is off; it seems like you have a particular aversion to Xie Linchuan.”

Hearing Xu Zhen’s words, Xu Jinzhi felt a sudden “thump” in her heart, followed by an inexplicable sense of shame at having her thoughts read, but she stubbornly feigned perplexity, “No, not at all. The issue here is clearly Xie Linchuan’s fault.”

“That’s not right,” Xu Zhen stated conclusively.

He knew his daughter well, and even before today, he had noticed Xu Jinzhi’s disdain for Xie Linchuan, as if Xie Linchuan was some worthless individual.

Considering the matter carefully, Xu Zhen could understand why Xie Linchuan, having someone he liked, wouldn’t wish to be with his daughter—it was something he too had experienced at a young age, recklessly acting for the sake of a woman.

Although the issue today was indeed due to Xie Linchuan’s oversight, Xie Linchuan himself was still a very capable young man.

But what Xu Zhen felt was that his daughter really disliked Xie Linchuan.

“What’s this about right or wrong?” Xu Jinzhi continued stubbornly, wondering if her loathing for Xie Linchuan had been expressed that vividly.

“Fine, let’s not talk about that. If you want to hold someone accountable for today’s issue, it’s understandable. After all, we had an agreement, and now you’re the one who has to sort out the mess. You should be compensated,” said Xu Zhen. No matter what, he stood by his daughter’s side.

“Hmph,” Xu Jinzhi snorted haughtily.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jinzhi then raised her eyes to look at Assistant Chen opposite her, “Is there work later?”

“There’s nothing at the company, but there’s a dinner tonight that requires your attendance,” Assistant Chen deduced his boss’s wishes and mercilessly shattered her hopes.

He had come out with Mr. Xu at noon, and Assistant Wen took care of things in the company. Everything was normal, and there was nothing that required Mr. Xu’s presence.

But tonight’s dinner was important; it had been deliberately scheduled after Mr. Xu’s business trip to ensure his attendance.

“Tch!” Xu Jinzhi looked unimpressed. She had remembered this event in the morning but had forgotten it amid the chaos.

Remembering she had been on a business trip for so long, she hadn’t had a chance to have a proper meal with Xie Yan since her return. She had finally planned to have lunch with Xie Yan at noon, and even that was ruined by Xie Linchuan!

While she was busy dealing with Xie Linchuan’s mess, Xie Linchuan was out on a date!

Xu Jinzhi was so mad she couldn’t let it out, what should she do—she really wanted to scold someone now!

But in the end, she could only curse Xie Linchuan in her heart.

“Let’s go.” There was no helping it, Xu Jinzhi went back to the company.

By evening, she dutifully attended the dinner meeting, which didn’t end until past eleven o’clock.

When she was going back, she discovered Xie Yanchuan had sent her a message, asking how she had handled today’s matters.

Xu Jinzhi had drunk some alcohol tonight and felt a bit dizzy in the head, too lazy to type, she directly called Xie Yanchuan back.

Xie Yanchuan quickly answered the call, his gentle voice came through the phone, and Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but lift her lips slightly, then she told Xie Yanchuan, “The matter has been dealt with.”

After leaving the hospital in the afternoon, she hadn’t paid attention to the matter anymore, but later Assistant Chen had not brought it up to her either, which meant that things must have been handled pretty well on Xie Linchuan’s side.

Xie Yanchuan did not know what had happened, but hearing that Xu Jinzhi said it was resolved, he also let out a sigh of relief.

However, Xie Yanchuan quickly picked up something unusual from Xu Jinzhi’s tone.

After a brief moment of doubt, Xie Yanchuan furrowed his brows and asked somewhat sternly, “Jinzhi, have you been drinking?”

At this moment, the soft tone of Xu Jinzhi’s voice was clearly the same as when she had spoken to him after drinking before.

“Mhm.” Xu Jinzhi hadn’t realized anything yet, and answered whatever Xie Yanchuan asked, “There were some elders at the dinner tonight, so I had a few drinks.”

“How could you drink alcohol after taking medication!”

Xie Yanchuan’s stern voice came through, and Xu Jinzhi, who had still been somewhat groggy, suddenly sobered up.

Xie Yanchuan was also startled and stood up subconsciously, his mind quickly recalling the medicine Xu Jinzhi had taken yesterday—were there any cephalexin-type drugs among them?

It seemed there weren’t, Xie Yanchuan was somewhat unsure, so he thought back carefully again, right, there were no cephalexin-type drugs.

As for the medication she had taken, although drinking alcohol could affect its potency, it wouldn’t be life-threatening.

Realizing this, Xie Yanchuan finally breathed a little easier.

Over the phone, Xu Jinzhi’s voice came through, “I didn’t take any medication today.”

Xu Jinzhi said this feeling a bit guilty, but thought it was better to be honest. When she woke up in the morning, she felt perfectly fine and completely forgot about needing to take any medication.

Both of them fell silent.

After a while, Xie Yanchuan continued, “Sorry, I was a bit anxious just now.”

Xie Yanchuan’s tone had returned to normal, even feeling a bit apologetic for having been too harsh earlier.

Xu Jinzhi also relaxed a bit; Xie Yanchuan seemed like a person who doesn’t get angry easily, but when he does get angry, he’s quite difficult to appease.
