Chapter 105: Love the New and Get Tired of the Old
I dare to think about this but I can’t ask it.
Zhou Yunjie glanced at Shen Zhiyu out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that he was driving as usual, he gave up the urge to ask.
The aroma of the soufflé in her arms rushed into her nose. She hesitated for a moment, remembering the time when she got caught in the rain and made his car dirty, and she stayed up until midnight to clean it up.
I don’t seem to want to eat that much.
After taking a sip of warm tea, my stomach felt better.
The air conditioner temperature doesn't seem to be that cold anymore.
The sweet jujube tea had a unique fruity aroma, and the sweet taste melted on the tip of the tongue. In a short while, he drank half a cup. Zhou Yunjie's forehead also seeped out a little sweat, and his whole body felt much better.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Shen Zhiyu suddenly ask, "Are you planning to keep hiding from your ex-boyfriend like this?"
Zhou Yunjie exclaimed, realizing that he had just seen Cheng Hongwei as well.
"What else can I do? He's standing there waiting for me, and I can't stop him from standing there."
Shen Zhiyu glanced at her and said nothing more.
There was still some distance to go before they could drive to Chen Garden. It seemed awkward to remain silent, so Zhou Yunjie cleared his throat and asked quietly, "You said you weren't being perfunctory with me, but what about the Yun Ding..."
Shen Zhiyu fiddled with the air conditioner button a few times, and only looked back to the front when he saw that her face had regained its blush.
"How do you know Yun Ding was sold?"
Zhou Yunjie replied, "My mother told me."
Shen Zhiyu nodded, "Then do you know who the buyer is?"
Zhou Yunjie frowned and went over the whole thing in his mind. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
"It can't be—it's you?"
"To be exact, it was Xinglai who bought the Yunding."
Shen Zhiyu looked ahead, his tone as calm as if he was discussing today's weather.
Although Yunding is not a very large hotel chain, its scale is not small either. It can be taken up in a short period of time. There are really few hotel groups in China that can do this.
No wonder her father Zhou Shaoxiong was able to escape abroad so easily and efficiently. I heard that Xinglai has always been very generous when it comes to the industries he likes.
"You spent a lot of money, didn't you?"
Shen Zhiyu glanced at her sideways and shook his head, "No, it's much lower than I expected."
Not selling at a high price?
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Yunjie's heart suddenly tightened.
Her father was so anxious to take the woman and child outside and hide away that he actually sold the Yunding he had built at a low price... Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly felt hot.
It’s not worth it for her mother Wen Jingyi.
The once virtuous and capable woman devoted her entire youth to Yunding, but ended up with such an outcome.
I feel sad for my ignorance over the years.
She had always thought that her father put his career first, but she had never expected that in the face of interests and lovers, the so-called family affection was so fragile.
The street scenes passing by the car window kept changing. Zhou Yunjie wiped his eyes and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "Are all men fickle?"
Shen Zhiyu was silent.
He couldn't answer this question.
Because he only had one public girlfriend, Bai Jiawen, but they broke up because of Rong Anning's opposition.
Now that I think about it, it’s not entirely because of his mother.
Maybe, I just don’t like it enough.
As if knowing he wouldn't answer, Zhou Yunjie spoke again in a low voice, a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "If all men are like this, then how many people in this world truly marry for love?"
She paused, her eyes drifting out the window.
"My father was extremely poor back then, but he turned his life around when he met my mother and had Yunding. Now, he's rich, but under the pretext of continuing the family line, he's had another woman and even had a son..."
At this point, she said with a self-deprecating smile, "I wanted a reckless love, but I still compromised with reality and got married with you for money."
"It seems that Zhou Shaoxiong and I are no more noble than each other!"
Hearing her belittle herself like this, Shen Zhiyu's brows gradually furrowed, and his dark eyes showed some sharpness, as if something had touched him.
