She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I didn't expect Wu Ling's evaluation of Zeng Zhi to change so quickly. Zeng Zhi actually became a playboy pretending to be honest.

It seems that Zeng Zhi really made her angry.

I know in my heart that Zeng Zhi is not a shady person, and there must be some misunderstanding between these two people.

But I couldn't just come up and persuade him, I had to follow Wu Ling's words and say, "Really?"

"Xuxu, you have to remove that word!" Wu Ling was even more indignant, his delicate face flushed slightly, "The key is that it was him, he dared to do it but not take responsibility, and refused to admit it! He is not like a man at all!"

"So what exactly did he do? Tell us quickly." I had to let Wu Ling explain the whole story first.

"I had made an appointment with him to go skiing on the weekend, but he suddenly called me and said he had some urgent business. I forgave him and asked to have dinner at a restaurant that night." Wu Ling told the story like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "In the evening, I put on the most beautiful makeup and wore the most beautiful dress, but he stood me up again. He just sent a message and turned off his phone. I couldn't even contact him! Xuxu, do you know that I waited in the restaurant alone until twelve o'clock, and the restaurant was about to close, but I didn't get through to him."

I was stunned when she said this: "Weekend?"

"Yes, it was Sunday night!" Wu Ling gritted his teeth. "I didn't get a call from him until the next morning. He explained to me that he slept in the car the night before and that he turned off his phone all night because of work. You said he couldn't make a decent excuse. Even a fool wouldn't believe it! Men are just like that. If you say it out loud, it's just for fun. Everyone knows it. It's pointless to try to deceive people."

But my thoughts drifted away.

If it was Sunday, I could actually testify for Zeng Zhi.

That day, I was invited by Mrs. Zhang Si to visit the Zhang family. Zhou Hanzhi and Shen Hualan also came to visit the Zhang family. Although Zeng Zhi did not sit at the host table, I knew that he was there too, but he was placed somewhere else as a driver.

Later, Zhou Hanzhi and I met again by coincidence at the racecourse. Zeng Zhi was actually there with him at the time, because when we were at the racecourse, Zhou Hanzhi also received a call from Zeng Zhi, and I could hear it from their conversation.

And that night...

When I think of that night, the memories that had been weighing on my heart for days were like mud at the bottom of the water, being stirred up, becoming turbid and unable to calm down for a long time.

Zhou Hanzhi also went to our community that night.

It should be Zeng Zhi who sent him there.

"Then did you ask him where he parked the car and slept all night?" I asked again.

"Ha, it's so funny. He said it was in the parking lot of the community where you and Lin Xixi were. He also said that he was really forced to stand me up. He said that he didn't expect President Zhou to be busy all night. He also said that he turned off his phone for President Zhou." Wu Ling became more and more angry as he talked, and he even laughed at himself. "How did he make up such a ridiculous reason? Even if he is Zhou Hanzhi's special assistant, President Zhou is not Zhou Baopi. As for exploiting him on weekends? Besides, he has been running around all day, and he wants him to follow him at night? Even Zhou Baopi is not so evil!"

I'm speechless because...

In fact, what Zeng Zhi said is very likely true.

Zhou Hanzhi came to our neighborhood that night. Zeng Zhi must have brought him there. When he first broke into my room, he probably didn't intend to stay the night there. It was only when the situation got out of control that...

Zhou Hanzhi did not expect these things, nor did I. Zeng Zhi, as his assistant, certainly did not expect them either. He should have been waiting for Zhou Hanzhi downstairs but did not see him, so he stayed in the car all night and missed the dinner that Wu Ling had scheduled with him.

But why did he turn off his phone all night?

I can't figure out the answer to this question, but based on my understanding of Zeng Zhi, he wouldn't let Wu Ling fool around with other girls.

It's not to the point where you don't dare to admit it.

I swallowed and said softly, "Wu Ling, perhaps I can testify for Zeng Zhi. He may not have lied."

"Huh? Really, Xuxu, you shouldn't defend him just because you two are alumni and have a good relationship." Wu Ling was stunned at first, his eyes clearly showed signs of loosening, but he was still half-believing and half-doubting.

"I will help him pursue you because of our friendship, but I will not protect him and help him lie to others because of our friendship, let alone lie to my own sisters!" I immediately became serious and patiently explained, "Zeng Zhi was indeed following Zhou Hanzhi all day on that weekend."

I talked about several itineraries.

The suspicion in Wu Ling's eyes slowly faded away: "If someone else said this, I would not believe it 100%, but Xuxu, you are my sister, I will believe it if you say it, but I don't understand, it's ok for him to follow Zhou Hanzhi during the day, but why does he follow him at night? Is Zhou Hanzhi really Zhou Baopi, who doesn't even let his assistant go home to rest at night?"

"Ahem... Maybe Mr. Zhou had something urgent to do and didn't have time to notify him. Um..." I couldn't hold it in any longer and could only speak vaguely, "But the next day I ran into Lin Xixi talking to Zhou Hanzhi on the phone in the elevator, and she did mention that Zhou Hanzhi was in our neighborhood that night."

I really can't tell you what happened between Zhou Hanzhi and I that night, so I can only ignore it.

"So, I really blamed him wrongly? But he is on official business, why should he turn off his phone?" Wu Ling raised the last question.

I couldn’t explain this, but Zeng Zhi called me soon to explain.

Under my instigation, Wu Ling finally answered the phone. Zeng Zhi's anxious and flustered voice came from the other end of the phone: "Baby, I really didn't lie. I turned off my phone that night because I was worried about being harassed by Lin Xixi. Mr. Zhou's car was parked there, and Lin Xixi saw it. She couldn't find Mr. Zhou, so she called me. I didn't dare to expose Mr. Zhou's whereabouts, but I'm not good at lying, so I had to turn off my phone. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou didn't come back all night."

"Wasn't Mr. Zhou at Lin Xixi's house that night? Why did Lin Xixi keep looking for him?" Wu Ling sensed something was wrong and asked directly, "Then whose house did he stay at that night?"

As soon as this question was raised, I panicked, and Zeng Zhi on the other end of the phone was obviously panicked as well.

He is really not good at lying. He can only hesitate and can't come up with a reasonable excuse.

I couldn't make up a reason, but I believed Zeng Zhi was tight-lipped and wouldn't leak the secret, so I pretended that I didn't want to disturb the sweet conversation between the young couple and prepared to leave.

But Wu Ling grabbed his hand.

She looked up at me, her eyes wide open, with suspicion and surprise in them: "Xuxu, was Zhou Hanzhi with you that night?"
