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

"What's so important about your friend that you have to go to the appointment without even taking a rest?" Wu Ling frowned even more and snatched the painkillers from my hand. "Painkillers are not good things. Don't abuse them. They are bad for your health."

Painkillers do have side effects, the most obvious of which is that they can cause people to become dependent and resistant.

But I looked at Wu Ling deeply and said, "You also know that painkillers are not good things and should not be abused. Why do you still use them so often?"

There are twelve painkillers in this plate, and now there are only two unopened pills. Moreover, this plate of painkillers is placed on the small table beside the bed, probably for easy access. It also shows that Wu Ling uses this medicine frequently.

Why does she take painkillers so often?

Wu Ling was stunned by my question. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes. Then he lowered his eyelids and smiled bitterly: "No wonder Xiaoye said that you are a woman who combines wisdom and beauty. This evaluation is really appropriate. Xuxu is really smart. Nothing can escape your eyes."

Wu Ling didn't tell me why she needed painkillers, but looking at her expression, I had already guessed the answer.

It is true that you will have a headache easily after a hangover, as she drank a lot of alcohol.

She used to love going to bars and Jindis, but why did she like drinking? In the final analysis, it was just because she was too depressed and needed to drink to drown her sorrows.

Zhang Jiahao had indeed hurt her badly, and she was not as carefree as she appeared. Her carefree and unrestrained appearance was just to cover up the scars in her heart.

Isn't she suffering too?

At this moment, I want to hug her.

"But actually, I haven't used this medicine for a long time. Ever since I met Zeng Zhi, he hasn't let me drink alcohol, so my alcohol tolerance has regressed. I actually felt a little dizzy after just one glass of wine last night." Wu Ling raised his eyes at this moment, a sweet smile on his face.

My hand that was about to hug her stopped, and looking at the shy Wu Ling, I couldn't help but sigh softly: "It seems that my sister has met the right person. I'll drink this bowl of dog food first as a token of my respect."

Love is like this, good love nourishes people, making them happier, healthier, and better.

Just like Wu Ling and Zeng Zhi, since Wu Ling has been with Zeng Zhi, her complexion has obviously improved and her condition has been getting better and better, like a lovely little woman, who is nourished and supported by love.

Bad fate makes people worse and worse, entangled in pain, and worried about gains and losses.

Just like me and Zhou Hanzhi...

"What dog food? I didn't mean that, Xuxu." Wu Ling reacted immediately and quickly put his hand on my shoulder. "Next time, Xuxu, feed me dog food. Our Xuxu is so beautiful and so smart. Who knows which lucky person she will end up in. But since you've eaten the dog food, don't take this painkiller, okay? Just take a nap at home and you'll be fine."

"No, I made an appointment with Jiang Yin a few days ago to accompany her to Zhou's house today. I can't break the appointment." I still took out the painkiller and drank one, smiling and coaxing Wu Ling, "But I promise you, I will try to take less painkillers in the future."

"Xuxu, you're working so hard for Jiang Yin's sake?" Wu Ling became unhappy when he heard Jiang Yin's name. "Is she important to you, Xuxu?"

People say jealousy exists not only in love but also in friendship. Wu Ling is jealous of Jiang Yin.

I laughed dumbly and tried to coax her: "How can you be more important than me? I just don't like to break my promise to others. After all, she is a potential customer of our company, equivalent to a little god of wealth in the future. If you coax her well, you can use her to make a little money for you to buy a big house and a nice car in the future, right?"

"Xuxu's little mouth is really good at coaxing people. It's so sweet that it's deadly." Wu Ling couldn't help laughing.

My words were meant to coax Wu Ling, but not entirely to make her happy.

Jiang Yin's position in my heart is indeed not as important as Wu Ling's. The reason why I am so close to her, apart from the fact that we are alumni and friends, is that I need to get close to Zhou Pinzhi through her, enter the Zhou family's old house, and find what I want.

The relationships between people are quite strange. Wu Ling and I are friends because of our common interests, but I feel more and more that there is more friendship between us than interests.

Jiang Yin and I had no overt interests in common; we were simply friends. But I knew in my heart that I was mostly using her and we didn't have much friendship.

Although Wu Ling allowed me to take painkillers, he did not allow me to leave immediately. He cooked breakfast for me personally and watched me finish eating before allowing me to go out.

By then, the effect of the painkiller had begun to take effect. My headache was gone and my stomach felt better. I felt a lot more relaxed. I took a taxi to the door of the bar and then drove my car to pick up Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin didn't send me a message, so when I was almost there, I called her directly: "Miss Jiang, how are you packing? I'm almost at the entrance of your community..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard some unusual noises in the receiver.

"Ah, it's Xuxu. I, I'll be done packing soon. Please wait for me a moment." Jiang Yin's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious, and her breathing was a little unusual.

This movement sounds a bit fanciful, like...

I immediately dismissed this guess. Jiang Yin was obviously single, so how could she do such an intimate thing with a man? And she was going to Zhou's house with me for dinner today. She must have gotten up early and packed up. How could she have time to do that?

She must be in a hurry to pack up, which is why she is a little out of breath.

"Okay, it's okay, take your time to pack, we're not in a hurry. Today is your first time going to your in-laws' house, so dress up nicely." I made a joke with a smile, but I heard some unusual noises from the microphone.

It was a deep male voice: "Baby..."

At that moment, I was stunned and stopped talking. Is there really a man beside Jiang Yin?

But the next second, Jiang Yin gave me a reasonable explanation: "Xu Xu, you are teasing me again. What in-laws? Wait for me for a moment. I will turn off the tablet and go downstairs."

It turns out that Jiang Yin, like most girls, has the habit of watching TV series while putting on makeup. The man's voice just now should be the voice of the character in the TV series.

I put aside my doubts, hung up the phone, and sat in the car waiting for Jiang Yin.

I waited for half an hour before I finally got Jiang Yin to come downstairs. When she saw me, she apologized sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Xuxu. Did I make you anxious? The busier I get, the more anxious I get. I wasted time."
