Chapter 1411 - 562: Trust Me Once, Indifferent Family Ties

Once the door was shut, it was Zhou Can’s turn to feel nervous.

He had suffered from this kind of misunderstanding before.

Last time, while chatting with Director Xue Yan at the hospital, her husband misunderstood their work conversation.

You should know, Director Xue Yan was much older than Zhou Can.

And it was in the hospital office.

Now, not only was it late at night, but her age was similar to Zhou Can’s, and she was slightly drunk. What was more terrifying was that it was in her home, making Zhou Can extremely tense.

"Please have a seat, would you like something to drink?"

She wasn’t completely drunk, just a bit tipsy.

"Let me pour you a glass of hot water to sober up! I’ll chat for a bit and then leave."

Zhou Can watched her unsteady steps, worried she might fall.

He hurried to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.

The kitchen showed no signs of cooking, but it was very clean.

She usually ate at the hospital while working, truly having no need to cook for one person.

It’s likely she only prepared breakfast herself.

A transparent box contained half a pancake left from the morning. Many young women enjoyed making their own pancakes in the morning, with ingredients like eggs, ham, and corn—nutritious and hygienic. Paired with a cup of milk, breakfast provides excellent nutrition for the body.

He poured her a glass of hot water.

They sat down in the living room.

Many older generations believed strong tea could sober a person up, which is actually incorrect.

Caffeine and tea polyphenols in strong tea can stimulate the nerves, providing a refreshing effect, but they don’t help with sobering up.

Drinking strong tea after alcohol can also increase the heart’s burden, exacerbating palpitations and dizziness.

Additionally, drinking strong tea after alcohol intensifies the burdens on the liver and kidneys. Alcohol is broken down and metabolized by the liver, then excreted by the kidneys, and substances like tea polyphenols and caffeine also need these organs for breakdown and excretion.

Therefore, drinking strong tea post-alcohol not only fails to sober but increases physical burden.

Many traditional remedies from the older generation are actually quite unscientific. For instance, swallowing rice to deal with fishbone; it’s like suicide if the fishbone is large enough, easily puncturing the esophagus.

Then there’s covering up during postpartum, even in hot weather when the woman’s body is weak; not allowing fans and covering with thick blankets can easily cause heatstroke. Some women have even died from such foolish practices due to heatstroke.

There are many similar folk remedies, and it’s unknown who devised them. They don’t comply at all with modern science.

"Because it’s already late, I’ll cut straight to the chase. Someone offered fifty thousand to frame me. Since this matter has reached its final stage, I think it shouldn’t be dropped halfway; you should persist until completion and strive to get that fifty thousand."

Upon Zhou Can’s opening, her drunkenness significantly dissipated.

"No, absolutely not. I’ve already wronged you enough with what I’ve done; I can’t let it go further."

She shook her head firmly, refusing Zhou Can’s suggestion.

"Jiang Wei, look into my eyes. I seriously advise you to do this."

Zhou Can looked directly into her eyes.

She slowly lifted her eyes, timidly looking at Zhou Can.

Their gazes met, and she saw sincerity and goodwill in Zhou Can’s eyes.

"Although I don’t know why you borrowed so many high-interest loans for your brother, I’m keenly aware of your precarious situation now, teetering on the edge of a cliff. I heard you planned to sell this house, presumably for repaying high-interest loans. But faced with hefty high-interest rates, even if you successfully sell the house, after deducting your mortgage and real estate tax, can that money repay the high-interest loans? It might not even cover the interest."

Zhou Can, having once mortgaged his home for funds to save Su Qianqian, deeply understood how tremendously difficult it was to scrape together a substantial sum quickly.

Being an experienced person with vast knowledge, Zhou Can clearly understood her situation.

"Jiang Wei, trust me once, alright?"

Zhou Can earnestly looked at her.

"Since you shielded me from harm, I’ve considered you a trustworthy person."

This time, she didn’t evade, instead locking eyes with Zhou Can.

A woman in a half-drunken state is at their most beautiful.

Her face flushed, eyes hazy, long eyelashes slightly fluttering, her gaze as limpid as autumn waters, incredibly moist.

The term ’drunken beauty’ might very well originate from reality.

"Since you trust me, can you follow my suggestion?"

Zhou Can looked at her.

"That clearly harms you; I can’t get past my conscience."

She continued shaking her head, though her tightly-bitten lips and tear-filled eyes were visible.

Human hearts are made of flesh.

According to her, her heart was cold initially but warmed by Zhou Can.

"Listen, just follow my suggestion, I have a way to protect myself. Eventually, you’ll get the money, and the mastermind will end up losing instead of gaining."

Zhou Can’s eyes glimmered with intelligent light.

"Will it really not harm you?"

She seemed somewhat swayed.

The fifty thousand was too tempting for her, burdened with massive high-interest debt.

"After spending over two months with me, have you ever seen me say something false?"

Zhou Can, known for being trustworthy, spoke with genuine confidence now.
