Ling Zhao looked at the little happy fruit and didn't speak for a long time.

Love?

If it was in the previous life, she would nod and admit love without hesitation.

In this life, there was too much mixed up between her and Huo Yixiu. The humiliation of being betrayed, the anger, the hatred, all came back with her rebirth. If there was still love, it was almost zero.

However, after knowing him for more than ten years, something was ingrained in her. She didn't know what it was, but when she thought that Huo Yixiu might be in trouble, she couldn't help but give him a glimmer of concern.

Is that love?

Or is it just inertia?

Wen Mingrui stared at Ling Zhao. She didn't say anything, but he waited patiently.

After a while, Ling Zhao forced a smile and asked: [Is this question important? ]

Wen Mingrui took a deep breath, put on a gentle smile, and raised the palm with the pistachio on it: "Ling Zhao, we are playing games."

Ling Zhao smiled calmly: [I had a fight with him and we haven't made up yet, so I probably won't be in love with him these past two days.]

There is nothing wrong with this answer, it can be said to be flawless.

There was some disappointment in Wen Mingrui's smile, but he was still smiling.

He slowly peeled the pistachio, and some words were on the tip of his tongue, almost about to come out.

With heavy metal music filling his ears, he slowly said, "Ling Zhao, you must have felt very uncomfortable during that period after the medical accident..."

Ling Zhao's body was slightly stiff, and the hand holding the wine glass was also stiff.

After taking a sip, she answered him: [It’s all in the past. Didn’t those people say that if it weren’t for that accident, I wouldn’t have become Mrs. Huo. It was a blessing in disguise.]

Some netizens also thought of the fairy tale about the mermaid, which said that the mermaid sought out a witch and sacrificed her beautiful singing voice in exchange for the opportunity to walk on two legs. In reality, Ling Zhao used his voice to get a shortcut to success.

The mermaid in the fairy tale finally turned into foam, but she rose to fame overnight and became a noble lady that everyone envied.

She is much luckier than the mermaid.

She is a dark and scheming mermaid.

Ling Zhao twirled his wine glass and laughed at himself.

Wen Mingrui frowned: "When you lost your voice, no one knew that Huo Yixiu would be where he is today. He was just a middle school student at that time."

But no one cared about that, people just said she won the bet.

For a girl who is already in the growth stage, it is unknown what she will be like when she grows up. Too many child stars eventually disappear. But Huo Yixiu is different. His father is a famous doctor, his mother is a teacher at a key high school, his family is well-off, and he is smart. He is already a hacker expert at a young age, and he is destined to have a bright future.

They said that the hardships he suffered in his youth were just trials on the road to greater success.

After this incident, Huo Yixiu even gained a group of fans. They ignored her pain and scolded her for being scheming at such a young age, saying that she was worthy of being in the entertainment industry. However, they beautified Huo Yixiu's suffering and praised him as a flawless person.

Ah……

When she was distracted, Wen Mingrui suddenly put the wine glass in her hand aside, half stood up, and put his hands on the armrest of the booth. Ling Zhao was trapped between him and the booth.

This posture was ambiguous, but Ling Zhao was not panicked. Her hands were trapped between them, and she could only look at him with slightly drunken eyes.

The light was dim, but her face was so white and her eyes were so beautiful.

Who says child stars become ugly when they grow up?

She was very beautiful, but the voice that made people look forward to it can no longer be heard.

Wen Mingrui stared at her face for a while, his voice slightly hoarse: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ling Zhao blinked, a look that showed full trust in him.

Wen Mingrui has always helped her and never hurt her.

Even when she accidentally drank the tainted wine in the hotel, he didn't do anything to her but just rushed her to the hospital.

He will not take advantage of others' misfortunes, nor will he harm others.

Wen Mingrui sneered, lowered his head, and murmured, "They just said that I have a goddess in my heart..."

Ling Zhao was a little drunk and had to concentrate to hear clearly what he said. Suddenly, he stuffed something into his mouth.

After chewing it, I found it was pistachio, crispy and fragrant with a hint of sweetness.

"Ling Zhao, you've had a hard life. There are some things you'd better not know... I'll give you this pistachio. Be happy." Wen Mingrui stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you home."

……

Huo Yixiu arrived in Beicheng in a low-key manner. The next day, he personally visited the medical school where Professor Tong was studying.

At that time, Professor Tong was giving a general physiognomy class to students, and Huo Yixiu watched from outside through the glass for a while.

The hospital leader accompanied him and said with a smile: "If Mr. Huo wants to listen to Professor Tong's course in person, he can go in after changing his clothes."

The leader signaled to the entourage to get sterile clothing, but Huo Yixiu raised his hand to stop them.

"No need." He glanced at it calmly and left the laboratory.

The hospital leaders felt embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything, so they just kept their faces down and endured it. After all, they were the sponsors.

The assistant beside him whispered in his ear: "Mr. Huo's father is Huo Weiyang..."

The leader's expression changed.

Thanks to the Internet's uproar for so many days, the memory of many people in the medical field who died has come back. It's just that it's hard to connect Mr. Huo in front of me with Huo Weiyang for a while, and I subconsciously regard him as an investor.

After class, Professor Tong was invited to the reception room by someone sent by his leader.

Professor Tong glanced at Huo Yixiu, still with a serious face. He sat down and asked, "Why did Mr. Huo come to North City?"

Professor Tong is a top professor in the medical school, with both qualifications and status, so the hospital leaders have to give him face. The leader smiled and said, "Mr. Huo plans to donate a new laboratory building to our medical school, and will also use the products of the medical company he invested in in our school."

It is not easy to find investors nowadays, and it is even harder to find investors with strong capabilities.

Many investors put forward various harsh conditions before investing, and then suck your blood after the deal is done. It is rare to find one that offers fewer conditions and invests more money.

Their medical school is not ranked high in the country, and is always overtaken by other schools when it comes to funding. This puts them in an awkward position. If this continues, the medical school's status will decline again.

Professor Tong's dignified and experienced eyes fell on Huo Yixiu's face and asked the hospital leader: "It's a good thing that Mr. Huo invested in our college, but it should have nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for training students."

The leader coughed and said, "The others have nothing to do with you, but there is one thing that is related to you. You know that Mr. Huo's wife has an old throat disease. Mr. Huo hopes that you can be the chief surgeon and be Mrs. Huo's attending physician."

"Boss Huo said that if Professor Tong agrees to go to South City, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the professor's team will be fully covered, and the cost of the flying knife will not be reduced."

When capital tycoons want to accomplish something, profit is definitely their top priority.

The interests of the hospital, the leadership, and the professors themselves are all taken into account.

Under the triple pressure, almost no one can refuse. Even if Professor Tong is aloof and disdains the temptation of huge sums of money from capital tycoons, he cannot ignore the school's new laboratory building, the future of students, and... the interests of the leaders.
