Chapter 188 Leaving Beijing
There was a long silence.
Zhou Yunjie lowered his eyelashes, swallowed the sadness rising in his throat, and said, "When I return to Yunding to work, I will move out. It will be easier for you to find a girlfriend... I..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Zhiyu's cold voice, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Yunjie's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly.
She was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Chen Zhiyu, although I have accepted the reality and agreed to marry you..." Her voice was trembling, but she tried her best to hold back her tears, "I know you looked down on me at first, and I also know that many things cannot go as I wish."
My nose felt uncontrollably sore, and my eyes could no longer contain the tears that kept welling up. A tear rolled around on my eyelashes and finally fell on my knees.
"But whether you believe it or not...what I want is always someone who can truly love and care for me, rather than just living a life of compromise for some other reason."
At this point, tears could no longer be stopped. "If a marriage doesn't even have love, then I'd rather not have it... It's better to spend my whole life alone with my mother than to waste my youth in such a marriage."
"You're great. You come from a good family, you're an exceptionally good person, and you're also so rich..." Zhou Yunjie sniffed hard and whispered, "But you—don't love me. Everything you do is based on this arranged marriage, not simply because of me..."
Shen Zhiyu was silent.
It's not love, really. But he really likes Zhou Yunjie, physically.
He had thought that if he could continue to let this fake play become real, it wouldn't matter. After all, the wife he would marry in the future would be a family marriage, so it didn't matter who he married.
After all, he got married to Zhou Yunjie in order to smoothly inherit the equity.
Since Zhou Yunjie already owns the half stated on the marriage certificate, there is no need to go through the trouble of getting a divorce and then getting married again.
But she didn't want to, and there was no need to force her.
"Have you thought it through?"
Zhou Yunjie nodded, "Yeah, I've thought about it."
Shen Zhiyu nodded, "Okay, it's up to you."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Halfway through the journey, Zhou Yunjie called him, "Chen Zhiyu, you promised me..."
Shen Zhiyu turned back, a chill in his eyes, “Don’t worry, I won’t break my promise.”
…
After that night, Zhou Yunjie never saw Shen Zhiyu again until she left Beijing. After instructing her mother about follow-up treatment, she left with a heavy heart and a lot of worries.
After returning to Shanghai, I turned on my phone and several WeChat messages popped up on the screen.
She opened WeChat. There were messages from Lin Xiaotang, a small group of three, and a large internal group at Xinglai reporting on the day's business. Everything seemed the same, except for that person.
There seemed to be a lot more people at the airport on weekends than usual. A long queue had already formed at the airport's boarding and alighting station. Zhou Yunjie walked over and lined up at the back.
After standing there for a moment, his phone rang. It was Wen Jingyi's attending physician: "Xiao Zhou, Dr. Bai has already discussed your mother's condition with me. You can transfer your mother's follow-up treatment back to his hospital."
Zhou Yunjie was overjoyed to hear this news. This way, she wouldn't have to travel back and forth between the two places. She typed a thank you and was about to write something else to send when she heard a familiar voice.
"Cloud Steps!"
