Chapter 145: Parting on good terms
Once he understood the truth, Zhou Yunjie breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.
After what just happened, she no longer had the heart to try on the new shoes and underwear. She stuffed the beautifully packaged bags into the closet and hurried out.
There was no one in the bedroom. A little scarlet spark was flashing on the balcony, flickering in the night.
She thought about it, went out, went downstairs to ask Rong An Ning for a pot of tea, and then went back upstairs.
Faint voices could be heard from the balcony.
She walked in, poured a cup of tea and placed it next to Shen Zhiyu.
The moment she stood up, her wrist tightened. She lowered her eyes and saw Shen Zhiyu gesture towards the lounge chair on the other side.
Understanding what was said, she poured herself a cup of tea and sat on the other side.
Shen Zhiyu's occasional brief response was heard in his ears, and in front of him was the charming night scene with flickering lights. Zhou Yunjie leaned back on the recliner, looking at the shining lights in the distance, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.
Fate is really magical.
After many twists and turns, she finally had an intersection with Shen Zhiyu.
She took a sip of tea, and the fragrance of the tea instantly filled her lips and teeth. She sighed softly and turned her head to pour the tea.
When I looked up again, I found that Shen Zhiyu had finished the call and was looking at me with a kind look.
"Do you want more?"
The teacup next to him was empty, and he didn't know when he drank from it.
Shen Zhiyu hummed and asked, "Did you ask my mother for it?"
Zhou Yunjie nodded and smiled, "Aunt Rong and my mother are similar. They both like to drink tea. She just showed me her collection of expensive and famous teas. My mother also collected a few pieces and even made some at home..."
Having said this, she suddenly stopped and the smile on her lips gradually faded.
She forgot that the hillside mansion had been sealed by the court due to debt problems, and the tea had long been forcibly taken away by the creditors.
These things are no longer a secret in the circle, and Shen Zhiyu naturally knows about them.
Seeing Zhou Yunjie like this, I knew that she must have remembered those unbearable things again.
He took a sip of tea and nodded to the table, "Pour the tea."
Zhou Yunjie seemed to come back to his senses and reached out with the teapot in his fair fingers.
"Aren't you going to Jing City? When do you plan to go there?"
"Next week."
Shen Zhiyu nodded, "How is your mother?"
Thinking of Wen Jingyi's pale face during the video call, Zhou Yunjie's eyes showed some worry. "She looks fine, but the drug reaction is too severe. She can't eat and has lost a lot of weight."
"Do you want me to arrange it?" Shen Zhiyu asked tentatively.
Zhou Yunjie shook his head. "No need. I've already caused you a lot of trouble, and the money you gave me is enough for my mother's treatment."
The tone of her words was still as gentle, and even her voice was the same soft.
But it sounded a bit harsh to Shen Zhiyu's ears.
Normally, she said those soft words to him only because she wanted to ask him for help, but none of them were for herself.
Now that it came to her own affairs, she was as polite to him as if they were ordinary friends.
This realization suddenly made him feel a little irritated.
"Zhou Yunjie, you can actually make some requests." Shen Zhiyu looked at her steadily, "At least these things are not difficult for me."
"But I don't want to."
Zhou Yunjie was silent for a moment, then said truthfully, "I'm afraid I'll become dependent on you... After a year, let's part ways amicably..."
Let’s part ways amicably…
Shen Zhiyu pondered these four words over and over again, and suddenly smiled.
