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

In fact, I knew it in my heart without asking, and what Zhou Hanzhi meant by impoliteness was his action of hugging me just now.

Pushing me away was his action after he sobered up.

The way he looked at me at this moment was so cold and indifferent, which proved this point. He was indeed sick and confused before, which was why he did those things. Now he is sober, so he apologized to me.

"Hey, Hanzhi, what's wrong with you? You're so rude." Shen Hualan broke the brief silence, poked Zhou Hanzhi with her hand, and said angrily, "During the time you were unconscious, Xuxu has been by your side. I know you are touched and excited, but be gentle with your movements. Don't hurt Xuxu."

She walked over quickly again, rubbed my shoulders, and comforted me: "Xuxu, Hanzhi didn't hurt you just now, did he? He just saw that you were too excited and too surprised, so he pushed you away. But you are such a smart child, you must have seen that Hanzhi has always had you in his heart, and he is a little shy."

"I'm fine." I gradually woke up.

But the emotions in my heart that had been opened were still surging and raging.

I couldn't stop the car, and I couldn't turn it around.

"I'm sorry, Manager Meng. My actions caused you to misunderstand." Zhou Hanzhi spoke again at this time, and he apologized again, "I have been very sick these days, and I was confused. I just mistook Manager Meng for someone else. I hope Manager Meng doesn't take it to heart."

This time, he made his words very clear.

My heart felt cold, and the surging emotions finally stopped and froze into ice in an instant.

He said that he mistook me for someone else, which was why he hugged me and begged me not to leave.

So who does he really want to hug?

Now, even Shen Hualan couldn't save the situation. Her hand was still on my shoulder, but her face had become awkward and stiff. She frowned and said, "What did you mistake for someone else? Hanzhi, I think you are really sick and confused. You are talking nonsense now. Xuxu is so worried about you and treats you so well, but you still say hurtful things. You are really heartless."

Who else could it be? I felt bitter and secretly laughed at myself for being so confused. Zhou Hanzhi had always loved Lin Xixi in his heart. Of course, the one he really wanted to hug was Lin Xixi.

I already feel very embarrassed. Should I wait for Zhou Hanzhi to make his words more clearly and make myself even more embarrassed?

"Mrs. Zhou, please don't blame Mr. Zhou. What Mr. Zhou meant is the truth I want to explain to you." I interrupted Shen Hualan softly, then stood up and nodded gently to Zhou Hanzhi, who was lying on the bed with a calm and cold expression. "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, I will not misunderstand this matter, nor will I take it to heart. However, please remember to call Manager Lin and explain it properly. She was here just now, and she seems to have misunderstood our relationship."

This is a good thing. It can avoid the entanglement between Zhou Hanzhi and me, and can also resolve Lin Xixi's misunderstanding and resentment towards me as soon as possible.

I can also go home early to rest.

"Hey, Xuxu, don't go yet. This matter can be explained clearly." Shen Hualan pulled my arm and wanted to keep me for a while.

But I gently took her hand away, smiled at her politely, and quickly turned and left.

Before I walked out of the ward, I heard Shen Hualan arguing with Zhou Hanzhi: "I heard it clearly just now. You were clearly calling Xuxu, and you begged her not to leave. Don't try to play dumb. I'm your biological mother, how could I not know what you were thinking?"

"You heard wrong. My name is Xixi, not Xuxu." Zhou Hanzhi's voice was still calm and cold, but clear and firm.

It turns out that he had always called her Xixi.

I used up almost all my strength to control myself and stay calm, but my fingers holding the door handle were still trembling slightly. I opened the door with difficulty and rushed out.

But he ran into a warm embrace.

"Xuxu, why are you running so fast? Did something happen?" It was Wu Ling. I bumped into her and she almost fell down. Zeng Zhi who was behind her supported her in time.

Zeng Zhi also asked me anxiously: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did something happen to Brother Zhou?"

Wu Ling held me up again and asked anxiously, "Xu Xu, why is your face so pale? It looks bloodless."

"No, I'm okay." The moment I fell into Wu Ling's arms, my heart seemed to have found a harbor to rely on. The emotions that I had been deliberately suppressing almost couldn't be held back at this moment, so that not only did I stutter, but my voice also became tearful.

She suddenly realized something was wrong and grabbed my hand tightly: "You're crying, and you still say it's okay. Did Zhou Hanzhi bully you? Come on, follow me in. I want to see what's going on!"

"No way, sister-in-law, Brother Zhou likes you so much, how could he bear to bully you? Did he do something that you find offensive... Forget it, let's go in and find out what's going on." Zeng Zhi hesitated to speak and supported us to go in together.

But how can I go back? I'm embarrassed enough.

I shook my head and insisted on leaving: "No, you guys go in, I'm tired and want to go home and rest."

"Sister-in-law, there is a lounge next to it. Are you hungry? The food has been bought here. Why don't you eat something before going to sleep?" Zeng Zhi still wanted to keep me.

"Save this food for your heartless boss! Our Xuxu came to see him with good intentions and has been taking care of him all the time. She is so attentive and works so hard, but he actually bullies my Xuxu!" Wu Ling pushed him away, took my hand and walked with me, "Xuxu, I'm going with you. Let these two heartless people stay together!"

She and Zeng Zhi had been having a quarrel before, and she wanted me to pass on the message, but now the two of them were standing together, and it was obvious that they had reconciled. However, Wu Ling was now at odds with Zeng Zhi again because of the matter between me and Zhou Hanzhi.

"Sister, you should stay with Assistant Zeng. I can go back by myself." How could I let Wu Ling make a fuss because of me and Zeng Zhi?

But Wu Ling didn't give me any chance to explain, and she pulled me away: "No, what is sisterhood? It means we must stand together at the critical moment! Come on, Xuxu, let's go out and have fun alone tonight. By the way, tell me what Zhou Hanzhi did to you again?"

Wu Ling is really generous and righteous. With her around, my sadness is actually alleviated a lot.

But when she took me to the bar, ordered me drinks, and asked me what had happened, I opened my mouth again and again but couldn't say anything.

Those things that had been surging in my chest for a long time,

Finally, I could only raise my glass and drink it down in one gulp: "Sister, let's drink."

"Okay, Xuxu, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Let's drink. Let's get drunk tonight to forget our sorrows." Wu Ling didn't ask any more questions. He clinked glasses with me and drank it all in one gulp.

But can being drunk really relieve all worries?

Why is it that even after I drink one cup after another, the image of Zhou Hanzhi in front of me can never go away?
