Gu'er and Li Zhi walked out of the City Government building's main gate.
After getting in the car, Li Zhi didn't start the engine right away. Gu'er was lost in a heavy silence.
Li Zhi drove Gu'er home, and they agreed that he and Dingzi would come to the Sun Family's house that evening to discuss the matter.
After dinner, the four of them went to Gu'er and Sun Jiaming's room, where Gu'er poured them tea.
"Jia Ming, Li Zhi, Brother Dingzi, it was my fault. I was too impulsive. I didn't want that man named You to tarnish my dad's reputation. When I saw Grandpa Wang and the others, it made me think of my grandma and the other elderly women, so I blurted out that I wanted to build a nursing home. I admit I was reckless then. I didn't discuss it with you, and I didn't think about the consequences. I just thought the money I had would be enough. I intended to fund it all by myself; I never meant to drag you all into this."
