The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1700 Nine Dollars Are Enough

After having a light meal in the cafeteria, the two walked out of the National People's Congress together.

At the school gate, a woman is waiting.

The moment she saw Li Futu, she seemed a little surprised, her walking steps paused for a moment, and then she returned to her natural state.
"Prince."

She stood beside Cao Xiuge, and then nodded lightly to Li Futu, as a greeting.

Since Cao Xiuge joined the National People's University to teach, she would wait at the school gate every day after class, for several years.

Li Futu also nodded and smiled.

"Where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?"

Cao Xiuge asked politely.

"No, you guys go first."

Li Futu declined his kindness.

Cao Xiuge didn't insist either.

"Let's go."

Zishu took his arm and walked towards the car parked by the side of the road.

Li Futu watched them get in the car and leave.

As the saying goes, a friend in need sees the truth.

Cao Xiuge has lost all his power now and has almost become a useless person, but Zishu still stays by his side and will never leave. This friendship should not be as simple as that between master and servant.

"What are you looking at?"

A soft voice sounded from behind.

"In the past, the reason why he turned a blind eye to the people in front of him was because his heart was filled with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but now."

Song Luoshen, who had just arrived by car, stood beside him, and looked in the direction where the master and servant's car was leaving, and said, "Now, he probably doesn't want to drag Zishu down."

"Although he looks open-minded on the surface, the crutch still left a scar in his heart. This scar is innocuous when facing outsiders like us, but when facing Zishu, it will be in his heart. Unlimited magnification."

Li Futu withdrew his gaze, turned his head and said, "This is where the flaws of human nature lie. There are often only two kinds of people in the world. One kind wants to present a perfect self in front of outsiders, and is unwilling to expose any flaws, while in front of relatives, they wanton Reckless, without scruples. And the other is like him."

Li Futu looked forward, "I would rather have my embarrassment seen by outsiders than accept the fact that my embarrassment is exposed in the eyes of my relatives."

At this time, Cao Xiuge's car had disappeared on the street.

"However, he often doesn't think about whether the other party really minds."

"Do not."

Li Futu shook his head.

"They grew up together, and they probably know each other better than themselves. He should understand that Zishu, who is not a relative to him, will never dislike him. However, he still can't pass the psychological hurdle."

"After all, he is Cao Xiuge. Even in such a miserable state, he still holds on to the last trace of pride in his heart. Now, if he is with Zishu, what will others think of him?"

"You do know him quite well."

Song Luo asked with a smile that was not a smile: "If you were him, would you embarrass others and yourself even more like him?"

"maybe."

Li Futu sighed softly: "If we had failed abroad, do you think I still have the face to appear in front of you?"

"You men are all such stinking virtues, you will suffer the consequences at the cost of saving face."

Song Luoshen snorted coldly.

"But I have to remind you that it wasn't you who appeared in front of me. I was in Donghai back then, but I was looking for you. If I hadn't taken the initiative, I don't think you would have appeared in front of me."

"It's all in the past, why are you still so serious."

Li Futu's expression became a little unnatural.

Back then, if it wasn't for Song Luoshen's insistence, whether the two of them could stand here now is really a matter of debate.

"Let's go."

He walked to the car.

Song Luoshen gave him a blank look, and followed his footsteps without stalking him unreasonably.

……

"He...how did he come to the National People's Congress?"

Inside the car, Zishu asked softly.

"What do you think?"

Cao Xiuge leaned back on the seat and said with a smile: "A person like him whose time is probably more valuable than the head of state is willing to spend half a day. Do you think his plot will be small?"

Zimo turned his head.

"Then he came to find the prince..."

It is said that beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair, but some women still have the ability to compete with the years, such as Song Luoshen, and Zishu.

Of course, she and Song Luoshen are completely two types. Song Luoshen is the kind of beauty that can make people astonished at first sight. Zishu's appearance is naturally not that peerless. A beautiful woman who fell in love at first sight, but her temperament and charm can make people have endless aftertaste.

"He wants me to help his woman bear the infamy."

Cao Xiuge smiled lightly.

Zishu frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Maybe even Song Luoshen couldn't fully guess Li Futu's real intention to find Cao Xiuge.

But the moment Li Futu appeared, Cao Xiuge understood the other party's intention.

He and he will never be friends.

But they know each other far better than friends.

"Is he planning to invite the prince to re-enter office?"

Zishu asked tentatively.

Cao Xiuge looked forward, neither admitting nor denying it.

The red light ahead turned on, and Zishu stopped the car.

"Prince, the military leaders from various regions have come to Beijing one after another in the past few days. This kind of movement is unprecedented and too sudden. Did something happen?"

Cao Xiuge turned his head and stared into Zishu's eyes, but he didn't respond to the question, he just asked inexplicably.

"Zishu, if tomorrow is the end of the world, what do you want to do now?"

Zishu was taken aback when he heard the words, a little caught off guard.

Although this question is very impractical, after a short thought, she still replied: "I will follow the prince. What the prince wants to do is what Zishu wants to do."

This answer is not unexpected, but a true portrayal of her over the years.

Cao Xiuge smiled warmly.

"And you know, if the end of the world comes, what is the thing I want to do the most?"

Zishu was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Cao Xiuge was about to say something, but was interrupted by the urging horn sound from behind.

The green light is on.

Zishu continued to drive forward.

"Prince, you haven't finished your sentence yet."

"You really want to know?"

Zishu hummed, and couldn't help but start to imagine in her mind what would she want to do if the end of the world really came?
The result was no answer.

However, she didn't feel sad.

Because there is no answer, already the most obvious answer.

To be with this man forever should be her greatest vision and ideal since she was a child.

"I want to take you to a place."

Cao Xiuge said.

"Where?"

Zishu asked subconsciously.

Cao Xiuge raised his wrist and looked at the time.

"Go now, it should be too late."

Zishu was even more puzzled, and turned his head to look at him puzzled.

"Do you have any money with you?"

Cao Xiuge's eyes were warm and mellow.

"Nine dollars is enough."
