Cassie looked at Song Zhen with a strange expression, "Mr. Song, I always thought you were a character from a financial magazine, so I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you today.
What's more, I didn't expect that you actually don't drink?
I'm of Chinese descent, and my ancestors did business in China. I know most Chinese business is done over the dining table."
Song Zhen gazed at Gu Xinzhou with burning eyes.
That look could scorch someone even across the air!
Gu Xinzhou ignored him and quietly continued eating.
Song Zhen said softly, "A few years ago, I made a very serious mistake while drinking.
Until now, I have been repenting and haven't had the chance to make amends for that mistake.
It is a major regret in my heart.
So now, I have abstained from alcohol for many years."
Gu Xinzhou continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
However, if one looked carefully, they would notice her ear tips were also red.
Because this topic involved Song Zhen's privacy, Cassie, as a gentleman, would not inquire further.
Gu Yibo also protected Song Zhen and explained to Cassie with a smile, "Song Zhen is a man who abstains from smoking and drinking!"
Cassie nodded with a smile, "Not smoking is very good. However, drinking a little wine occasionally is good for the health."
Gu Yibo agreed, "Right! That's true!"
Gu Xinzhou was about to drink wine to quench her thirst when she was stopped by Song Zhen, "Zhouzhou, your gastric ulcer hasn't healed yet, why are you drinking?"
Gu Xinzhou's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
This man, why was he acting up again, starting to meddle in her affairs?
Gu Xinzhou gave Song Zhen a reproachful look, "A little bit, it's okay."
"You have a gastric ulcer?" Cassie put down his utensils, and one hand naturally rested on the back of her chair, his crystal eyes full of concern, "When did this happen, how come I don't know?"
Gu Xinzhou smiled gently, "It's not serious, don't worry."
Seeing that Cassie was genuinely concerned, she reached out and ruffled his hair, as if soothing a child.
Suddenly, Song Zhen interjected with a trace of seriousness in his voice, "Mr. Cassie, how long have you known our Zhouzhou?"
Cassie, "Four years!"
Song Zhen pursued relentlessly, "And how long have you been dating?"
Cassie, "Four years!"
With that, he glanced at Song Zhen.
Hmph, we fell in love at first sight in Italy, together from the moment we met, eat your heart out!
Song Zhen felt the challenge in those clear eyes.
But…
He gradually smirked, and a triumphant glint hid in his dark pupils as he whispered to Gu Yibo, "I hear that men who grow up abroad are pretty careless with girls.
Not like us Chinese men who are detail-oriented and obedient to our girlfriends.
It's no wonder Zhouzhou has had stomach problems for so long, and Cassie hasn't noticed."
Song Zhen's simple words instantly cast Cassie in a bad light in Gu Yibo's heart!
How good could Cassie be?
If he's not attentive enough to take care of his own girl, that's a huge fault!
Gu Yibo also frowned, looking at Cassie with some displeasure, "Zhouzhou has been with you in a relationship for four years, and you haven't noticed her stomach condition?"
"I…" Cassie, his crystal-like eyes momentarily flustered, apologized earnestly, "Uncle Gu, that was my negligence, truly my fault.
I will take this as a lesson and pay more attention to taking care of her health in the future.
I can swear to Jesus that nothing similar will happen again."
Everyone, "..."
They had thought Cassie would find an excuse to justify himself.
They didn't expect his admission of wrongdoing to be so sincere.
Song Zhen spoke lazily, "If you want to be the Gu family's son-in-law, you must marry into the family!"
