Gu Wenbin looked at Lin Zhi thoughtfully. “Cao Xiangrong has an older brother. His older brother is already married and has children. Someone will inherit the Cao family’s huge family business.”

Lin Zhi was a smart person. He immediately understood the meaning behind Gu Wenbin’s words.

“My parents are no longer around, and I’m not close to any of my relatives. No one can control my life. I don’t really like children. It doesn’t matter if I have children or not.”

Although Gu Zhiyan had undergone surgery, the artificial heart couldn’t support it for too long.

She still had to wait for a suitable heart.

Her body was not suitable for childbirth.

That was why Gu Wenbin agreed to have his daughter marry Cao Xiangrong, who was not outstanding.

It was precisely because Cao Xiangrong was not outstanding and was the second son of the Cao family that the two elders of the Cao family did not have the courage to treat Gu Zhiyan harshly because of this matter.

For Gu Zhiyan, Gu Wenbin had indeed considered everything thoroughly.

However, no matter how suitable Cao Xiangrong was, it was useless for him to treat Zhiyan badly.

After Lin Zhi finished speaking, Gu Wenbin stared at him.

It was as if he was trying to determine the truth of his words.

Lin Zhi also looked back at Gu Wenbin without dodging.

He was telling the truth, and he wasn’t afraid to look.

After a while, Gu Wenbin smiled.

“If you’re with Zhiyan, you’ll have to call me Dad in the future. There can’t be any estrangement between us, father and son. I have to explain to you what happened back then. Your parents…”

Lin Zhi was relieved until Gu Wenbin had agreed to his and Gu Zhiyan’s matter.

However, when he heard Gu Wenbin mention the matter from back then, his expression tensed up.

“Uncle Gu, you don’t have to say anything. I believe you,” he said solemnly.

Lin Zhi’s words caught Gu Wenbin off guard.

“Back then, I was young and didn’t understand many things. Zhiyan has already explained to me what happened back then. I believe you.”

Of course, he had also sent people to investigate.

The death of his parents really had nothing to do with Gu Wenbin.

Gu Wenbin was stunned for a moment. He lifted the teapot in front of him and poured tea for Lin Zhi. “Try it. This tea is not bad.”

It was only half an hour. Yet, for Gu Zhiyan, it felt like half a century had passed.

Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat due to her anxiety.

Seeing Lin Zhi come out, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you done talking?” She stood up and quickly took over Lin Zhi’s wheelchair.

Lin Zhi reached out and gently patted the back of Gu Zhiyan’s hand.

When Gu Wenbin saw his daughter like this, he said helplessly, “I’m done talking. If you have any arrangements, go ahead. You don’t have to stay at home with me.”

Gu Zhiyan was secretly happy. She didn’t wait for Lin Zhi to speak. She immediately said, “Then we’ll go out first.”

Lin Zhi politely said goodbye to Gu Wenbin and was pushed away by Gu Zhiyan.

On the way to the hospital, Gu Zhiyan drove while Lin Zhi sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with his phone.

While waiting for the red light, Gu Zhiyan glanced at Lin Zhi several times.

Lin Zhiyi did not notice.

Gu Zhiyan felt that she had been left out, so she couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy.

However, her relationship with Lin Zhi was both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was still in a state of constant restraint.

She could not throw a tantrum and could only endure it silently.

When they were almost near the hospital, Lin Zhi seemed to have an epiphany. He suggested, “The scenery outside is quite good. Park the car by the roadside. Let’s take a breather.”

Gu Zhiyan smiled.

But she didn’t show it. With a straight face, she said, “Boss Lin, you’re so busy. What’s the matter? Besides, it’s winter. I’ll freeze to death.”

Although she said that, Gu Zhiyan still stopped the car by the side.

The car window wasn’t rolled down.

Wind?

Both of them were sick. Stop joking.

“What did my dad talk to you about?” After a few seconds of silence, Gu Zhiyan asked in a low voice..
