Xu Tian was sweating profusely. Just now, in order to put Su Zhen at ease and focus on his treatment, he had agreed to Su Zhen's request in a moment of desperation, and even personally promised to take care of Su Nuannuan. He didn't know how much of what he said had been overheard by Chu Lan, who was standing outside the door. However, from the nurse's words just now, he already knew that Chu Lan had misunderstood this matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian quickly dialed Chu Lan's number, but it was already switched off!

Xu Tianzhen realized she had made a mistake and, without bothering to look for the shy Su Nuannuan, immediately went downstairs, got in her car, and drove to the Xu Group.

After hearing Xu Tian personally agree to Su Zhen's request to be with someone else, Chu Lan was heartbroken and didn't go to the Xu Group at all. Instead, she went to a nearby bar to drown her sorrows alone.

She had considered that such an outstanding Xu Tian would only have her as his woman for life, but when that day came so quickly, as an excellent and independent woman, and because of her background, Chu Lan didn't have much of a sense of security. Before she even had a chance to properly date Xu Tian and stabilize their relationship, she had to watch helplessly as she had to share him with another woman. This situation left Chu Lan completely at a loss as to how to face it.

Su Zhen is old and faces the risk of needing a kidney transplant, so Xu Tian agreed in a moment of desperation. Chu Lan could understand this, but even so, she still couldn't accept it for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan was already slightly tipsy. He was usually able to drink a lot without getting drunk at the party, but now he felt dizzy after just one cocktail.

"It's not the wine that intoxicates, it's the person who gets drunk..."

Chu Lan swirled the wine glass in his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly...

Xu Tian arrived at the Xu Group but couldn't find Chu Lan. He called her again, but her phone was still off. Helpless, Xu drove home. When he got to the parking lot, Xu Tian's heart sank.

He knew Chu Lan hadn't gone home without even going up, because there was no Chu Lan car in the underground parking garage.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian was extremely anxious. Having just experienced a kidnapping incident, he didn't want Chu Lan to face any more risks because of him. At this moment, Xu Tian wished he could slap himself twice. No matter what, he shouldn't have agreed to Su Zhen so hastily. He should have at least gone around in circles, informed Chu Lan first, explained things clearly, and then agreed.

Unable to get through to Chu Lan by phone, Xu Tian had no choice but to call Zhao Jing, who considered herself a relationship expert, to ask her for advice on how to handle such a situation.

Zhao Jing simply said "See you at the usual place" and hung up the phone.

When Xu Tian arrived at the barbecue stall where the two of them often ate, Zhao Jing was already sitting there waiting, with four or five empty wine bottles in front of her.

"You're drinking in broad daylight?"

Xu Tian hurriedly sat down and asked.

When Zhao Jing looked at him, she looked very forlorn.

"You said you agreed to be with Su Nuannuan?"

Xu Tianzheng was worried about this matter. "I've told you the whole situation. Uncle Su and my family are very close friends. He often treats me like his own son. Under those circumstances, if I don't agree, and he gets angry and something happens to him, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Zhao Jing's eyes were filled with resentment. "If you can be with Su Nuannuan, why can't you include me?"

Xu Tian stared at her in disbelief. "Don't make things worse at a time like this. Quickly help me think of what to do! Chu Lan misunderstood and hasn't answered my calls yet. I'm so worried."

As if she could read Xu Tian's mind, Zhao Jing asked, "Then let me ask you, did you agree to Su Zhen's request solely because of his health condition? Were you forced?"

Xu Tian was stunned. Although he was reluctant to admit it and despised fickle people, he couldn't help but feel nervous whenever he thought about when Su Nuannuan jumped from the third floor. He even felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he hadn't caught her.

Zhao Jing looked at him without saying a word for a long time, and she already knew the answer in her heart.

“Xu Tian, ​​a truly capable man will not be troubled by such romantic love affairs. You can love only one person or love multiple people, provided that you are capable yourself.”

Xu Tian looked at her suspiciously, "What do you mean by that? You don't mean you support men having multiple wives and concubines, do you?"

After all, Zhao Jing's family situation is what it is. Others may not know, but Zhao Jing knows it firsthand. She has been troubled for many years because Zhao Yazhi does not like her mother. That's why she wants to fight for something for her and her mother. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao's mother is a homewrecker.

Zhao Jing sneered, "I know what you're trying to say, but in the end, it's because my dad is incompetent. Look at the He family that's always in the news; they have four or five wives. And it's precisely because he's capable that those women can get along harmoniously. But you..."

Zhao Jing looked at him affectionately and said, "You also have this ability. When a person's wealth and knowledge accumulate to a certain level, they will not have those worldly views, nor will they be troubled by worldly matters."

Xu Tian was still somewhat resistant. "You mean to say that in this modern society, it's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines?"

"No, it is the capable who can possess this right, without being bound by worldly views. Look at the emperors of ancient times, which one didn't have three palaces and six courtyards? The reason they could do it was because they had enough power and status to support it. And you, Xu Tian, ​​you also have that potential."

As Zhao Jing spoke, she picked up the bottle and poured Xu Tian another glass. The two sat on plastic chairs at the barbecue stall, surrounded by the noise of people and the aroma of food. Zhao Jing's eyes were firm and deep, as if she could see into people's hearts.

"Xu Tian, ​​you're a smart man. You should know how to make yourself stronger. When you stand at the top of this world, you'll find that all those so-called morals and rules are just empty words. At that time, you can do whatever you want."

Xu Tian didn't expect Zhao Jing to say such a thing, but the key issue now is not whether he is willing to sincerely accept Su Nuannuan, but that Chu Lan cares a lot about this matter.

Zhao Jing noticed his confusion and then smiled, "My idol is a smart person. She knew all along that you wouldn't belong to her alone. It's just that the situation was sudden, and she couldn't accept it for a while."

"So what should I do now? I can't just wait for her to come to her senses, can I? Besides, agreeing to Su Zhen's request was just a temporary measure at the time. I have no intention of having multiple wives and concubines. Even if Su Nuannuan doesn't stay with me, I will take care of her for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing questioned, "In what capacity will you take care of her? Let alone a lifetime, even after you and Chu Lan get married and start a family, do you think Su Nuannuan will continue to see you without any official status? Even if you don't think that way, what will outsiders think of Su Nuannuan?"

"What you're doing isn't just hurting Chu Lan, it's also hurting Su Nuannuan."
