Chapter 214 Nominal Son-in-Law

After packing up and going downstairs, Shen Zhiyu was already waiting in the living room, leaning on the sofa and looking through documents.

Although his expression was calm and indifferent, Zhou Yunjie's heart still beat faster when he saw him, his face turned red, and a thin layer of red quietly stained the tips of his ears.

She stood at the stairs, took a deep breath, and then walked down slowly.

Fortunately, Shen Zhiyu didn't say anything to tease her. He just glanced at her and stood up and walked out. She hurriedly followed him, walked around to the passenger side and got in the car.

When the car turned onto the main road, she belatedly remembered that yesterday was her last working day at Xinglai. She would officially be on vacation starting today and would report directly to Yunding in three days.

The plane trees outside the window receded rapidly. She looked at the familiar street scene, mentally planning her itinerary. She had just three days to complete the procedures for her mother's transfer to another hospital; her mother and Sister Mei would be returning from Beijing next week.

Thinking of what Shen Zhiyu had just said about having to drive, she waited until the car drove smoothly into the main road before pretending to be casual and said, "Can we stop at the intersection ahead for a while?"

Shen Zhiyu looked ahead, holding the steering wheel with one hand. He just turned his head slightly to glance at her when he heard the words, "I'm going to Yunding for a meeting. You can stop by and get familiar with it."

The man's tone was so calm as if he was just stating an established fact. He didn't ask her if she had anything to do, nor did he ask for her opinion. In any case, he had already made the decision for her on his own initiative.

Zhou Yunjie pursed her lips, stubbornly refusing for a few seconds before finally accepting the fact that he wouldn't let her get out of the car. She turned her head and looked out the window, thinking that at worst, she could just wait until she got to Yunding and find an excuse to slip away.

As a result, the next second, Shen Zhiyu's voice was heard, "Yunding's promotion plan for the Mid-Autumn Festival has not been submitted yet. Shouldn't you, the future marketing manager, work overtime?"

"I'll work overtime tomorrow. I have something to do today." Zhou Yunjie turned to look at him and replied in a firm tone.

"What's up?" Shen Zhiyu turned on the turn signal and glanced at her while looking in the rearview mirror, a smile on his face. "Does the house need plumbing repaired again?"

Zhou Yunjie: “…”

Seeing that the person sitting in the passenger seat had some annoyance on his face, Shen Zhiyu said slowly, "I have already informed Lao Bai about the transfer this morning. You don't have to go over there. Just wait for your mother to come back and go directly to register for hospitalization."

Zhou Yunjie's heart tightened, and he looked at him sideways, "How did you know?"

"Your mother contacted me."

Shen Zhiyu's tone was very flat, and he looked unsurprised. It was obvious that he had contacted her mother privately more than once.

Zhou Yunjie was surprised, his brows slightly furrowed. "Why would my mother contact you?"

"Why not?" Shen Zhiyu found it funny. "At least, I am still her son-in-law in name, right?"

Zhou Yunjie thought to himself that it was just in name only.

She thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Chen Zhiyu, do you feel that you owe me, so you want to do these things to make it up to me?"

The sunlight from the car window shone through the glass onto her face, reflecting the complex look in her eyes. Shen Zhiyu glanced at her sideways, "Owe? Why do you think so?"

"If I divorce you, I'll be remarrying. Remarried women are like leftover vegetable leaves in the marriage market. There's basically no market for them..." Zhou Yunjie looked at Shen Zhiyu seriously, "If you're worried that I might fail in my remarriage in the future and you're trying to make it up to me, then I'll accept it. It'll give you peace of mind, and I'll benefit too. Let's part ways amicably..."

It's another amicable parting.

Shen Zhiyu's cold eyes gradually dimmed.
