Chapter 195 Passing by
As soon as the car turned around, Shen Zhiyu saw the scene in front of his house.
Sister Ying and Rong Anning stood at the door, both staring at a strange car on the other side of the road. The passenger window was half-open, and the person inside leaned out a little, their arm resting on the window frame, talking to the two people at the door through the window.
The sun has set and dusk is falling.
The light cast by the street lamp was dim and dark, but he could still clearly see the familiar outline and her fair skin that could not be concealed even by the dark night.
Zhou Yunjie raised his head, looking anxious and flustered, as if he was hiding from something. He said to Rong Anning, "I'm leaving, Aunt Rong. I'll come back to see you after I rest!"
After saying this, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to fasten her seat belt without waiting for Rong Anning's response.
Her slender fingers trembled slightly. After finally fastening the buckle, she quickly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, trying hard to control the tears from falling. She turned to Li Haorui in the driver's seat and whispered, "Let's go."
The car slowly drove away, the windows rolled up, blocking out most of the outside noise. A black sedan passed by, the rustling sound of tires rolling on the road gradually fading away.
Only then did Zhou Yunjie dare to raise his head, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the rearview mirror. The black car had stopped at some point, its taillights lit up in the twilight.
The moment the car door was about to open, she withdrew her gaze and looked down at her phone.
On the screen was the message she had sent five minutes ago: [I've moved.]
Only her words were left alone in the dialog box, without any response at all.
…
From that day on, Shen Zhiyu seemed to have suddenly disappeared from Zhou Yunjie's life. Even though they were both in Xinglai, she never saw him again.
Zhou Yunjie looked at the endless stream of cars flowing downstairs of her office and recalled the plot often written in romance novels - two people live in the same city but have never had the chance to meet. Perhaps this is the case with her and Shen Zhiyu now.
She smiled wryly, shook her head, and turned back to continue typing her application report on the computer screen.
When Qi Xiuping came to her to talk about the job application, she hesitated again and again and still did not ask about Shen Zhiyu.
After Qi Xiuping finished explaining the precautions, he casually mentioned, "Boss Shen is on a business trip and may not be present in person for the competition. But don't worry, just perform normally."
It turned out he was on a business trip.
Zhou Yunjie suddenly realized why his car hadn't been parked in the underground garage during this period. She nodded and was about to leave, but she couldn't help but stop and asked hesitantly, "Has he... completed the equity transfer?"
“You should ask Mr. Shen!”
It’s not that Qi Xiuping can’t say it, but that he dares not say it.
Seeing Shen Zhiyu's recent workaholic state and Zhou Yunjie's hesitant look, he roughly guessed that something was wrong between the two of them. The professional ethics accumulated over the years told him not to talk too much.
Zhou Yunjie nodded, "Then I'll go back. Thank you, President Qi."
She actually had no other intention in asking that question, she was just worried that there would be some situation later where she would need to show up, but Shen Zhiyu was too embarrassed to talk to her.
After all, that night in Beijing, the two of them parted on bad terms. And she had moved out of Chen Garden while he was away, which did seem to be a bit of a rift.
But when Shen Zhiyu heard these words, they had a different meaning.
On the phone, Qi Xiuping repeated his conversation with Zhou Yunjie word for word, but there was no response from the receiver. He was still wondering whether he should say something more to make amends for Zhou Yunjie, when he suddenly heard Shen Zhiyu's voice on the phone.
"Go check her current address." He then reported a license plate number, "and then check the owner's information."
Qi Xiuping responded and the other party hung up the phone.
