After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Lin Zhi's heart was far from calm.

Several days later, hearing about Su Nianqing's liver transplant surgery again made me feel complicated.

She was guessing to herself.

What was Li Tingze's purpose in turning on the speakerphone for the first time and letting her hear the conversation?

Could it be that he wanted to ask her to donate her liver to Su Nianqing?

She remained silent, afraid that if she opened her mouth, her emotions would break down first.

hang up the phone.

Li Tingze had a sullen face; he wasn't in a good mood.

He looked at Lin Zhi, who remained silent, and said calmly, "I need to go out for a bit."

Lin Zhi nodded gently, turned over and lay down with her back to him.

She knew better than anyone else that, whether in the past or now, she had no right to interfere in the complicated relationship between Li Tingze and Su Nianqing.

Moreover, they are now partners!

All she needs to do is be a good Mrs. Li and not cause trouble for the Li family.

As for his personal matters, she has no right to interfere!

If she continues to act emotionally like before, given that their relationship has reached this point, she will only appear more pathetic.

Li Tingze walked to the side where she was lying, gently lifting her chin with his long fingers, forcing her to look him in the eye, his tone tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Lin Zhi looked at him indifferently.

With a slight, bitter smile, she said, "You can rest assured that since I have accepted your terms, I will definitely play the role of Mrs. Li well and will not do anything beyond the scope of this role, nor will I interfere with your private life. I will be a partner with a sense of contractual obligation."

Her serious attempt to distance herself from him made Li Tingze feel a tightness in his chest!

He was extremely dissatisfied; she treated him like a stranger.

She had loved him so much, and the two were intimately connected in bed.

Li Tingze stared at her for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "If you had been aware of this earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Lin Zhi gave a self-deprecating smile, her heart filled with bitterness.

He always attributed the problem to her making a fuss...

Li Tingze straightened up and, while putting on his clothes, said, "I will keep my promise to you regarding the Lin family and your mother. During this time, you should rest well, and I will arrange the rest."

He didn't expect her to respond after he finished speaking, and left directly.

Lin Zhi looked at the hospital room door that had been closed again, and her eyes instantly reddened.

She was surprised.

Surprisingly, Li Tingze didn't mention asking her to donate part of her liver.

At the same time, my mind is also in turmoil.

I don't know if my choice is heading in a positive direction or leading me into a deeper abyss.

……

Li Tingze went to Su Nianqing's ward on another floor.

Su Nianqing lay on the hospital bed, her face even paler than last time!

Upon seeing Li Tingze appear, Su's mother immediately gave Su Nianqing a wink and began to play the victim, saying, "Tingze, I'm so sorry to have called you here so late. But I had no choice. If Nianqing hadn't refused to cooperate with the pre-operative examination and cried to see you, I wouldn't have..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su's mother covered her face and sighed.

Su Nianqing's face was filled with sorrow, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she silently shed tears when Li Tingze looked at her.

It was as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Li Tingze sat down next to her and took a tissue to wipe away her tears.

At that moment, hope was rekindled in Su Nianqing's heart.

Choking back tears, he began, "Aze, I..."

A cold voice interrupted her: "I've already had my assistant arrange the liver transplant surgery. Now you're not cooperating with the pre-operative examinations. What if the donor suddenly changes their mind? Are you planning to throw your life away?"

Su Nianqing was stunned.

She had thought that Li Tingze would comfort her kindly and coax her gently.

I didn't expect him to be so cold and sarcastic.

She burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, "Aze, you've misunderstood me. I wasn't refusing the examination, I just... I was just scared... scared that I'd never see you again after the surgery. I... I really just... sob sob sob..."

Seeing her heartbroken state, Li Tingze's patience instantly dwindled.

His tone was tinged with impatience: "I've assigned you the best medical team in all of northern Beijing; others would kill for such a team. They turned down important appointments for this surgery. You're just saying you're scared, and you're making top medical professionals waste their time? Don't you think you're being a bit too frivolous?"

Her subsequent words were drowned out by her sobs.

The words of reproach made Su Nianqing, who was still heartbroken, forget to cry.

She stared at Li Tingze in disbelief, her throat feeling as if something was stuck in it.

He couldn't utter a single word.

Su's mother was furious that Li Tingze would treat her daughter with such indifference.

Driven by her protectiveness, she blurted out, "Aze, doesn't it hurt your heart to scold Nianqing like that?"

Su Nianqing cried, pretending to stop her, "Mom, please, don't say anymore..."

"Why can't I say it?" Su's mother accused with displeasure. "Back then, if you hadn't risked your life to save Aze and his mother from the car that was about to plunge off a cliff, would he still be standing here berating you? You gave your kidney to save their lives! They were the ones who promised to marry you, but now they've suddenly changed their tune. Just because we're too kind, does that mean we should be fooled and deceived?"

Su's mother's words awakened a deep-seated pain in Li Tingze's mind.

Five years ago, when he accompanied Song Ya to Nancheng to find her father who was not coming home, they encountered severe rainstorms. Because the driver was unfamiliar with the route, the car overturned on the rugged mountain road.

The driver died on the spot.

He and Song Ya, who were sitting in the back row, were hit and suffered head injuries, unable to move in the cramped space.

There are very few vehicles on the mountain roads to begin with.

Especially during a downpour.

As time goes by, their lives are also counting down.

Just when he thought he would bleed to death, a beautiful figure appeared before him. His blurred vision made it impossible for him to tell whether it was a hallucination or reality.

He reached out with all his might towards the beautiful figure, but just as he was about to grasp her slender wrist, everything went black, and he fainted.

Wake up again.

He and Song Ya were already lying in hospital beds.

The doctor in charge of the rescue told him that it was thanks to the Su mother and daughter bringing them to the hospital in time that they would have died if they had been any later.

There were no surveillance cameras on the mountain road, so the specific rescue process could not be found.

He always felt that Su Nianqing's appearance was somewhat different from the beautiful figure he had seen back then.

Since no other witnesses could be found, and Song Ya treated the Su mother and daughter as her saviors and reborn parents, he did not continue to investigate.

It was around that time that Song Ya took it upon himself to promise that he would marry Su Nianqing and make her Mrs. Li.

Even the grand marriage proposal was arranged by Song Ya without his knowledge.

At that time, his career was not progressing and he could not gain the approval of Grandpa Li, which made him extremely frustrated!

He is indifferent to whom he marries.

The reason he humiliated Lin Zhi was simply because she was someone arranged by Grandpa Li, and he thought she was a spy planted by Grandpa Li.

The more Grandpa Li protected Lin Zhi, the more his itch became, and the more he wanted to torment her.

Lin Zhi did nothing wrong; the mistake was the way she appeared.
