Chapter 109 You Are Generous
"Looking for Zhou Zhou?"
Someone spoke lazily, "Zhou Zhou isn't here with me."
"I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Cheng Yu sneered. "C.Y. Capital has plenty of funds available for use, so there's no need to cooperate with Huiqi Bank right now. Mr. Yan just took over, so don't come to me for any extravagance."
Yan Yiqi was not annoyed by Cheng Yu's sharp counterattack. He smiled and said, "I will see you in a private capacity."
The other side said nonchalantly: "What a coincidence, there is no need for us to meet privately."
"To meet Zhou Zhou?" Yan Yiqi asked, "It was you who suggested Pei Shuchen take me out every day, wasn't it? Even after we're apart, you're still wary of me. You haven't let her go."
"For Zhou Zhou?" Cheng Yu chuckled, "Are you worthy?"
When he mentioned Zhou Zhou to Yan Yiqi, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Even though Zhou Zhou mentioned that the problem between them was trust, he still felt that Yan Yiqi played a huge role in the middle, and it was his presence that made the fire burn brightly enough.
As long as Zhou Zhou was not with him and could not promise his loyalty, he was indeed worried.
This kind of worry between them needs to be dispelled by the trust they have built up over time, rather than Yan Yiqi suddenly appearing and destroying the built river embankment.
He was indeed unhappy with Yan Yiqi.
He didn't care about this person that much before because he didn't care about Zhou Zhou. Later, when he started to care about Zhou Zhou, he gradually realized that he always got less than Zhou Zhou.
Yan Yiqi did nothing, but just by using his rationality, he was able to gain more attention from Zhou Zhou.
Why.
Cheng Yu didn't want to care about these things, but some things were like thorns stuck in his throat. As long as Yan Yiqi was by Zhou Zhou's side, he would not be able to truly let go.
But how can we separate them?
Even if they can't be lovers, they will not stop communicating with each other forever. They will still be friends and partners.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu wanted to hang up the phone in dissatisfaction.
Yan Yiqi spoke again: "If you don't want to meet, we can talk on the phone."
He stopped and waited.
There was silence on the other end for a long time, the call duration jumped by about half a minute, and then I heard two knocks on the table.
Motioned for him to continue.
Yan Yiqi said, "If I wanted Zhou Zhou to be with me, I would have taken action in California long ago, and would not have waited until she fell in love with you and then regretted it.
Cheng Yu, you're a smart person, so you know why I didn't take this step—I don't want any unexpected, uncertain plans in my life. I have a clear vision of my life, and I made the decision back then, so why would I irrationally interfere now?
Even if he intervened, he would not be able to take the same step as Cheng Yu, and his final outcome would be the same as Zhou Zhou's.
He didn't want to get to that point, so he chose to be friends with Zhou Zhou.
He came to Beijing sincerely to start a business with Zhou Zhou, and he also sincerely wanted to see if they had different possibilities, but the decisive factor was actually his grandfather's desire to return to his roots and return to the embrace of his motherland.
They plan to gradually move Singapore's industries back to China.
He did not hide any of this from Zhou Zhou.
It is precisely because of his frankness that they can become friends without distraction.
It is also true that I gave up completely.
He sincerely wished Zhou Zhou all the best, because he could see that Zhou Zhou treated Cheng Yu differently - she was her true self in front of him, she could be unrestrained and bright, or she could be aggressive and aggressive.
Even though he and Zhou Zhou were very good friends, they were obviously polite to each other when they spoke.
"Why, should I thank you now? It's because my ex-husband didn't fight or compete that I had the opportunity to get promoted?" Cheng Yu sneered.
"I never thought of it that way."
Cheng Yu ridiculed him sarcastically, and Yan Yiqi sighed silently.
He tightened his grip on the phone and laughed to himself, "It's not that I don't fight or compete. I often get jealous of you. This is the first time I've noticed that your relationship has gone beyond an ordinary one. I've also told Zhou Zhou to have less contact with you.
I'm human, and as a human, I have strengths and also despicable thoughts. I'm not as free and brave as you, and I think this is my shortcoming, but for others, it's a good thing. I always choose the path that's best for myself, and my life will be smooth and I won't make any mistakes.
Who can say for sure which of these things is truly good?
After he said this, the voice on the other end was no longer cold and hard, but a little soft.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Cheng Yu, I'm not your enemy," Yan Yiqi said. "Zhou Zhou thinks the lack of trust between you might be a good thing."
Cheng Yu was lying on the boss chair, his legs crossed on the desk, and next to his dangling feet was a cell phone on speakerphone.
When his assistant came in to deliver some documents, he waved his hand and motioned him to leave.
After everyone left, he crossed his arms, glanced at his phone, and pursed his lips lazily: "What good news."
He added, "Zhou Zhou already told me it was over, and you told me that this was a good thing. You got involved and then just walked away, of course you didn't mind making a big fuss, and you even went through so much trouble to call me and make sarcastic remarks."
Yan Yiqi: "..."
He had also witnessed Cheng Yu's sharp tongue.
"When Zhou Zhou talks to you about trust, she subconsciously wants you to trust her."
Yan Yiqi, as an outsider, saw things more clearly than the two people involved. "She can't promise to be loyal. Why would she have such thoughts? Can't you figure out the reason?"
Calm down and some things will become clearer.
Cheng Yu retracted his legs to get his phone, switched it to receiver mode, and sat on his chair, spinning around boredly: "You are so generous that you even came out in person to comfort me."
Yan Yiqi smiled.
The laughter was so soft that the weak current through the receiver did not reach the other end.
"I'm sorry. The day I saw you at Zhou Zhou's house, Zhou Zhou and I agreed that we would never talk about love again and would just be friends. It was me who asked her not to tell you." Yan Yiqi said.
He didn't explain that he wanted to use himself as the spice for them to discover each other's true feelings.
The misunderstanding has already occurred and no amount of explanation will help.
It's not that he is so magnanimous, but when he looks at them, it's more like he is looking at his non-cowardly self.
Cheng Yu and Zhou Zhou's past lifestyle allowed them to get closer to each other and take such a big step resolutely while being hesitant, which was beyond everything.
He may never be able to have a selfless love in his life.
Yan Yiqi thought that even if he was willing to take a step forward when he came to the capital, Zhou Zhou would still like Cheng Yu more than him.
While Cheng Yu was jealous of him, wasn't he also jealous of Cheng Yu?
Cheng Yu felt that he could get more attention from Zhou Zhou, but that attention was not love after all. Every sincere friend could get it, but he had never gotten Zhou Zhou as a person.
"You're quite capable of playing tricks."
Cheng Yu spoke softly, mockingly, "Does your family really own a bank in Singapore? Maybe it's omitted from the internet. Maybe they even sold tea."
His tone was relaxed, not as sharp as when he first answered the phone.
At least now his sarcasm is his usual sharp tongue, more of a teasing and a joke.
"Zhou Zhou dumped me that day because of you. Since you're so sorry about it, I won't hold it against you. But..."
Cheng Yu changed the subject and said bluntly, "You, my ex-husband, are so generous. If you have the time to persuade me, you might as well persuade her to see her true feelings.
She said a lot of harsh words to me because of you the other day. I've been hurt so badly by her this past week. I'm exhausted and can't eat. I don't want to eat or drink, because I just don't have the energy to do it."
Yan Yiqi: "..."
He is very arrogant.
Yan Yiqi finally understood why Zhou Zhou liked Cheng Yu, because he was really a scoundrel.
Without waiting for Yan Yiqi to answer, Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
I turned the phone around in my hand twice, and the haze gathered above my head dissipated a lot.
