Chapter 192 Renting a Small House
Zhou Yunjie mechanically gripped the handrail on the Yunding-bound subway, her fingertips turning slightly pale. The darkness of the tunnel outside the train window surged in like a tide. She stared blankly at the chaos, her thoughts drifting far away.
That night in Beijing, she had made her words so clear, and it would be awkward for both of them to stay in Shenyuan.
But now, while she was thinking about how to tactfully tell Rong An Ning that she was going to move out, she was silently calculating the remaining balance in her bank card.
The money left for her mother's treatment was not enough, but she still planned to squeeze out some money to rent a small house near Yunding and move out of Chenyuan as soon as possible.
As for the consumer loan under her name, after Cheng Hongwei made a scene at Xinglai that night, the loan company called her the next day and told her that the payment had been paid.
She was holding the phone at the time, her fingertips were cold, but she knew very well in her heart that no matter whether Cheng Hongwei paid for it or not, this account would eventually have to be settled by Shen Zhiyu.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that her life had been entangled with Shen Zhiyu's without her realizing it.
Many moments she was unaware of, many seemingly unrelated details, quietly intersected in some invisible corner. He might have done it intentionally, or perhaps it was just unintentional, but in any case, he had already silently influenced her life in places she had never noticed.
This is not what she wants.
A year later, she finally left him.
-Leaving his protection, leaving a life that was well-arranged but without any waves or emotional interactions.
She didn't want to be a tamed dodder, swaying in the worldly winds and rains.
…
After looking around for a few houses, I finally settled on a one-bedroom apartment. It's small but well-equipped, clean, and tidy. It only needs a little bit of furnishing before it's ready to move in. The price is a bit high, though.
Zhou Yunjie asked the agent if she could get a lower price. The agent said he couldn't make the decision and helped her call the landlord to come over.
As soon as the person showed up, Zhou Yunjie and the other party were stunned.
"Yunjie, it's you!"
It turned out to be Li Haorui, a colleague from the hotel where he had worked before. Zhou Yunjie didn't expect it to be him. While being surprised, he felt that they were really destined to meet.
"Is this your house?" she asked. I remembered hearing her say she wasn't from Shanghai.
Li Haorui laughed and said, "How can I afford to buy a house here? It belongs to a classmate of mine. He went abroad and asked me to help look after it."
The agent was already worried about the deal running away, and when he saw that the two people knew each other, he was even more determined not to leave until the contract was signed.
Zhou Yunjie did like the house, and since they were acquaintances, he paid the deposit and signed the contract.
The house issue was settled, and she felt relieved. There were still two things to do: one was the job competition next week, and the other was her mother's transfer to another hospital.
When she thought of these two things related to Shen Zhiyu, her mood dropped again.
After separating from Li Haorui and the intermediary, she took two buses, got off and took a taxi before returning to Chenyuan.
After a long period of mental preparation at the door, she finally pressed the code and entered the yard.
In the yard, the housekeeper was leading people to clean the water system. Seeing her respectful greeting, she nodded, thinking in her heart what expression she should use if she saw Shen Zhiyu later.
Sister Ying came over from a distance, walked up to her and took her bag, "You must be tired these days, right? You don't look well."
Zhou Yunjie shook his head and replied sullenly, "I just didn't get enough rest."
"Then go to bed early after dinner. Madam specially asked me to stew your favorite soybean pig's trotters today, so eat more later." Sister Ying said as she opened the door.
Zhou Yunjie hesitated for a moment before stepping in, but he did not see the person he expected.
Shen Zhiyu is not here.
