Void Jigsaw Puzzle
Chapter 166 A Natural Decision
After parting ways with the Gu family on bad terms, Zhong Chenmu, Guo Ling and Huo Yue found another small restaurant in Leyou Pavilion and sat down, ordered a few dishes and a bottle of wine.
Guo Ling took a big gulp and let out an "ah" sound, letting the strong effect of the alcohol wash away the depression in his stomach, and he immediately felt much better.
Huo Yue's anger had not completely dissipated, his chest was still heaving violently, and he drank half a glass of wine.
Zhong Chenmu didn't drink, but remained silent. His emotion was more sadness than anger.
Initially, he had tried every possible means to minimize casualties in Nameless City, complete the game as quickly as possible, and open up Nameless City so that everyone, especially the disabled, could find their loved ones. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of these few people, everything he did was solely for his own selfish gain and to be a comprador of the universe!
The three of them, each with their own concerns, slowly ate their food and drank their wine. After a long while, Guo Ling finally broke the silence, "Xiao Zhong, don't take it personally. People find it hard to imagine things they themselves can't imagine, and they often judge others by their own standards. The Gu family is throwing dirty water on you and us, doesn't that just show that they have ulterior motives? We are open and honest anyway. At most, we won't cooperate with them. The start-up capital might take a little more thought, but I don't see any other disadvantages. On the contrary, if we really cooperate with them, there will be trouble in the future. Our values don't align."
He understood Zhong Chenmu. This young man had endured too much that was not appropriate for his age, and in the end, he was still being pointed at and criticized by these rich people. Zhong Chenmu did not fight just now, which showed that he had controlled his emotions very well.
Huo Yue hugged Zhong Chenmu, stroked his hair, and said gently, "It's okay, it's okay. Do you want your sister to accompany you tonight?"
Guo Ling: “…”
Zhong Chenmu: “…”
Zhong Chenmu quickly broke free from Huoyue's arms, his face flushed, and said, "Thank you, sister, but you don't have to accompany me... Let's turn our grief into appetite and eat..."
He hurriedly shoveled rice into his mouth.
Huoyue pretended to be angry: "Others don't even have a chance, but you don't even want it when I give it to you."
After saying that, he glanced at Guo Ling, his eyes full of content.
"..."
After this round of teasing, Huo Yue's mood completely recovered. She finally said seriously, "We don't need to give the Gu family any more chances. I feel sick just thinking about these three people, let alone seeing them again. Anyway, there's still the Shen family to consider, but they're probably also in cahoots with each other."
Seeing that Huo Yue no longer looked at him that way, Guo Ling nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. No matter how wealthy the Gu and Shen families are, they are just two isolated families. The ordinary people of Wuming City understand and support us. We could feel it when the Jigsaw Team mobilized the masses. We just need to always remember that we are for the ordinary people of Wuming City and for the disabled. As for those wealthy families, cooperation is best. If not, we can go our separate ways."
Zhong Chenmu looked at the two of them with an extremely firm gaze.
However, within this determination, there is a hint of worry.
