Chapter 21 Why Should I Promise You

Dust-forgotten memories suddenly came into my mind.

Zhou Yunjie recalled the first time he met Shen Zhiyu.

At that time, when Cheng Hongwei and I were in love, we were like honey and oil, just like one person. Going to see Chen Zhiyu was just to give him an answer in person, as a courtesy.

She still remembered the way Shen Zhiyu looked at her and the words he said to her after she had clearly rejected him.

"Miss Zhou, please feel free to ask for any conditions you have. As long as I can do it, it's all fine."

At that time, she was obsessed with Cheng Hongwei, and she despised the arrogant look of rich people like Shen Zhiyu. Little did she know that in the eyes of others at that time, she was also the daughter of a rich and arrogant family.

How did you answer at that time?

"What can you give me? Money, power, status... I have all of these at home... I don't need anything! What I want is true love and loyalty. Do you have that?"

After saying that, Shen Zhiyu smiled meaningfully.

How many marriages in upper-class society are based on genuine love?

It's just an exchange of interests.

Zhou Yunjie was originally happy that he had dealt a heavy blow to Shen Zhiyu.

But a few days later, she was kicked out of the house by her parents.

Money, power, status...

She couldn't take anything with her, and nothing belonged to her.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu's dark eyes examined herself and asked the same question. She only felt that her former self had slapped her current face severely.

"Money, power, status... I have all of these, what can you give me?" Shen Zhiyu asked with a chuckle, and took a step closer to Zhou Yunjie.

Zhou Yunjie stumbled and took a step back. "I'll give you that video too, okay? Mr. Shen, I know you can do it."

The smile on Shen Zhiyu's face widened. "I can indeed do it. But why should I... promise you?"

Zhou Yunjie was dumbfounded.

Wasn't he the one who chased me for the photo?

How come it's not him anymore?

Before she could even think of how to respond, she saw the man in front of her suddenly stop smiling and return to his usual cold demeanor. "Miss Zhou, you may have forgotten your current situation."

"Right now, you only have bargaining power, not pricing power! I have the final say on how you want to handle this matter!"

If Zhou Yunjie still doesn't understand at this moment, he is a complete fool.

Shen Zhiyu was obviously taking revenge on her for rejecting him during the blind date.

But she couldn't say anything.

Those words did come out of my mouth, and it's too late to take them back now.

A bitter taste rose in his throat, and Zhou Yunjie's eyes were filled with loneliness.

Shen Zhiyu lowered his eyes and looked at her, the irony in his eyes could not be concealed, "Do you regret it? If you had agreed at the beginning, not only would this not have happened, maybe you would still be leaning on my shoulders and living a carefree life..."

"The essence of this world is the survival of the fittest, with everyone trampling on each other. Even if the powerful are covered in black, they are still white in the eyes of others; and ordinary people, even if they are flawless, may still be accused of being black. What happened today is just the beginning... Miss Zhou, be careful!"

As the words fell, the sound of footsteps slowly began to rise, getting farther and farther away.

Zhou Yunjie stood there for a long time, unable to utter a word.

Shen Zhiyu was right, what happened today was just the beginning.

But does she really have to bow her head?

Can Shen Zhiyu help her by lowering his head?

Zhou Yunjie was extremely confused and had no idea what to do at this moment.
