Given her personality, if she didn’t care about Zhou Ying, she might call the police. But if she had some different feelings towards Zhou Ying… Remembering their relationship in another world, Yue Linze’s gaze darkened.
Unaware of the big shot’s thoughts, Tao Yu, following the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, said with a good-natured tone, “Mr. Zhou is your friend. Perhaps he heard you were having a check-up and wanted to play a prank. He probably didn’t mean anything else. If the Yue family covers the expenses, we won’t pursue his wrongdoing.”
While she was speaking, Yue Linze watched her calmly. As Tao Yu spoke, she began to feel uncertain, wondering if she had said something wrong, making her feel slightly uneasy.
After she finished speaking, Yue Linze finally spoke: “He’s not my friend.” He wanted to know whether she made this decision because of him or herself – that was the most important thing.
“…But it seems like you two have a good relationship?” Tao Yu looked at him, puzzled.
Yue Linze was rarely left speechless by a counter-question. After a moment of silence, he said flatly, “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been in a car accident.”
“Are you saying he’s the culprit who harmed you?!” Tao Yu looked at him in shock.
Yue Linze fell silent again. His original intention was to find a random reason to prove they weren’t friends, hoping Tao Yu would reconsider. But she seemed to have misunderstood something. Seeing the surprise she couldn’t hide, he decided to let her continue misunderstanding.
“So… was the car accident a conspiracy?” Tao Yu’s eyes were wide.
Yue Linze denied, “No.”
“…Oh.” Seeing he offered no further explanation, and recalling what she had heard from others about Yue Linze and Zhou Ying’s close relationship since childhood, along with Zhou Ying’s malicious equipment damage, Tao Yu instantly imagined a story of a saint and an ungrateful wolf. Her gaze towards Yue Linze subtly changed.
