362. Chapter 362 Tell the truth after drinking (1)
Snapped--
The barbecue landed heavily on the grill, and the fat on the meat splashed on the charcoal, igniting a small spark.
In mid-air, the smell of burnt grease instantly wafted up.
Shang Li's eyes stayed on the piece of barbecue for a moment, then raised his face and landed on Chu Li's face.
"Look at me, clumsy."
Chu Li covered it up with self-mockery, picked up the piece of meat and put it on his plate.
She avoided looking at him.
Seeing her panic, Shang Li didn't point it out.
He just smiled and helped Chu Li pick up a piece of meat and held her hand smoothly.
"Look, my hands are all oily."
He pinched the tissue and gently helped her wipe off the grease on the back of her hand.
Her fingers calmly clasped Chu Li's wrist, and the girl's pulse beat a little fast.
Shang Li is a doctor and psychology expert. From Chu Li's performance, he has already guessed what she is thinking.
Chu Li also cared about him.
His confession had obviously touched Chu Li's heart.
What will she do?
This is the issue that Shang Li is most concerned about now.
Her heart was beating hard.
My face is also a little hot.
Shang Li's words were like a huge boulder, causing a huge uproar in her chest.
Chu Li lowered his head and bit into the barbecue.
It took a while before I could control my emotions.
"Well..." She smiled covertly, "I remember, you said that you were going to propose within a few days of knowing each other?"
"There is no truth to love." Shang Li shrugged, "Probably because we are a good match and have many of the same hobbies."
Shang Li lazily took a sip of beer and glanced sideways at Chu Li.
"We are all so familiar with each other, so I won't be afraid of your jokes. She is the only woman I am really attracted to."
Chu Li's chewing movement was affected, and he bit the tip of his tongue all of a sudden.
"Hiss—" She gasped as she stuck out her painfully bitten tongue, "It hurts me so much."
"So much meat is not enough for you, and you have to bite your own tongue?" Shang Li smiled evilly, "Isn't it because I said this to you that I scared you?"
"how come?"
Chu Li raised his eyes and looked at him.
Soon, he looked away again.
She didn't expect that Shang Li would care so much about her.
If she didn't have such a special status, she would definitely accept his confession with excitement.
As Shang Li said, this was the first time she met a man who could talk to her so well.
Whether it's the other person's personality, appearance, or hobbies...
Almost everywhere she likes it.
Thinking of this, she raised her neck.
He poured the entire bottle of wine down his throat in one breath.
I obviously like someone, but I can't tell him the truth.
Full of sorrow but unable to express it, Chu Li frowned and threw the empty wine bottle aside, then got another unopened bottle.
"Xiao Li!" Shang Li grabbed her wrist, "Stop drinking, you will get drunk."
"Let go." Chu Li threw away his palm, "You're afraid that I'll drink your wine. Money can't buy you how many times you can get drunk. This time... just let me get drunk for once, okay?"
Seeing her sad expression, Shang Li frowned.
He deliberately brought her here, deliberately pretended to be unaware, and said these words to her, just to let the other party understand his feelings towards her.
He could see that Chu Li also cared about him.
After hearing these confessions from him, shouldn't she be happy?
Why, instead he looked depressed.
Chu Li has a good drinking capacity. In order not to reveal her secrets, she must be measured when drinking and never let herself get really drunk.
But today, she was really drunk.
He staggered to stand upright and almost fell on the fire shelf.
"Xiao Li!" Shang Li held her arm worriedly, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the guest room."
After he helped her into the guest room and laid her down on the bed, Shang Li turned around and poured a glass of water.
"Come on, Xiaoli, drink some water!"
Chu Li was helped up by him but did not receive the water glass.
He raised his face and looked at Shang Li in front of him.
She raised her right hand, caressed the man's face, and suddenly stretched out her arms to hug him.
"Actually... I also like you very much, but... I... I can't like you. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
She was so drunk that she told the truth unconsciously.
Listening to the girl's helpless voice, Shang Li put his arms around her back and comforted her.
"It's okay, I know it's your reason."
Under his comfort, Chu Li finally calmed down little by little, and finally fell asleep on his shoulder.
Put her back on the pillow and pull the thin quilt over her.
Shang Li frowned and stared at her for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the guest room, closing the door gently.
Buzz——
On the table, the phone vibrates.
He put the call through.
"Mr. Shang, the information you requested has been sent to your email."
"good!"
Shang Li agreed, walked into the study, and opened the mailbox.
Sure enough, there was an email inside that I just received.
In the email, Chu Li’s relevant information was displayed.
However, this information is not detailed.
In the information, only what happened after Chu Li was ten years old was not written on it. Everything before Chu Li was ten years old.
Shang Li took a rough look at the information and combined with Chu Li's chat with him, he has pieced together almost seven to eight points of the truth.
At that time, Grandpa Chu did not agree with the union between Chu's father and Chu Li's mother.
After all, Chu's father is the proud son of heaven, while Chu's mother is just an ordinary small town girl.
Chu's father broke with his father in pursuit of love and opened a small shop here with Chu's mother.
Later, Chu's father died unexpectedly, and Chu's mother was so devastated that she became ill.
For the sake of her daughter's future, she could only bear the humiliation and contact the Chu family.
Probably because she was worried that the Chu family would not recognize her granddaughter, Chu's mother dressed her daughter up as a boy.
Chu's mother probably wanted to entrust her daughter to the Chu family first to save her child's life.
As a result, it was self-defeating.
To this day, Chu Li still cannot recover her daughter's body.
There were footsteps beside me.
Shang Li turned around and saw Dabai, the dog, squeezing in from outside the door. He came over and squatted down beside him.
Shang Li reached out and stroked Dabai's neck hair, and Shang Li frowned slightly.
"It seems that this matter will take some trouble."
Mr. Chu has three children and two daughters, and Father Chu is the only son.
Chu Li, the fake grandson, is now the only "heir" of the Chu family.
If at this time, the old man is suddenly told that his grandson is actually a granddaughter, it will indeed be a big blow.
Back then, Mr. Chu was indeed at fault for not accepting the marriage of his son and daughter-in-law.
The old man loved this "grandson" very much.
No wonder Chu Li is so entangled.
Buzz——
The phone vibrated again.
Shang Li looked at his cell phone in confusion, but did not see the incoming call.
He looked around and finally found Chu Li's cell phone on the table nearby.
On the screen of the mobile phone, two words were displayed——
"Mother".
It was so late, and the other party called me suddenly, maybe there was something urgent.
After thinking for a while, Shang Li answered the phone.
"Hey, are you Chu Li's mother? I'm her good friend Shang Li. It's not convenient for her to answer the phone right now. Is there anything urgent?"
Chu's mother said in an urgent tone, "Please tell her that grandpa is in the hospital and may need surgery. She must make time to come back tomorrow. Grandpa wants to see her."
"So that's it, okay, I'll inform her."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Li was about to wake Chu Li up when his cell phone also rang.
The call came from the director of the Third Hospital where he worked.
"Xiao Li, there is an emergency patient in the hospital. Is it convenient for you to come back? I have sent the medical records to your email."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, a new email was received in the mail.
"Let me take a look at the situation."
Shang Li opened the email and saw the patient resume above at a glance.
Name: Chu Xiuyuan.
Shang Li's right hand held the phone and subconsciously tightened it.
Isn't this Chu Li's grandfather?
"Is this Mr. Chu from the Chu family?"
"Yes, the condition of the old man's heart is not optimistic. He has had a stent done before. Several doctors in the department think that the operation is very difficult. You are the best doctor in our heart, and I want you to perform the surgery."
Shang Li held the phone in his hand, feeling a little complicated.
He was investigating the Chu family just now, and Grandpa Chu actually became his patient?
