Chu Ling has been staying at her son's house for three days and has no sign of leaving. Zhou Ziyi thought about it and decided to come up with a trump card.
That night, when Mr. Yan came out of the shower, he found that the guy, with whom he had not slept in the same bed for three days, was jumping happily on his bed.
Jumping like a kangaroo, as if on a trampoline.
Yan Xiuji was stunned: "What are you doing?"
"Jump a little. You know what, brother, your bed is really elastic. It's so fun to jump on it!" Zhou Ziyi replied while jumping, "Your bed is so expensive, I won't let it collapse, will I?"
"...I don't know." Yan Xiuji felt that he was really used to the other party's endless tricks, and now he could even resist kicking him down, "But if it collapses, I will deduct it from your pocket money."
Zhou Ziyi: “…”
He continued jumping cautiously.
"Still jumping? Get down!" Yan Xiuji raised his eyebrows, "Are you an elementary school student? Jumping on the bed?"
"Hey, jumping is just a means!" Zhou Ziyi said confidently, "I'm showing your bravery to Auntie!"
Yan Xiuji couldn't keep up with his train of thought: "What?"
"Brother, think about it." Zhou Ziyi said, "You are an adult, healthy man. You have been sleeping with your partner for three days. Shouldn't there be some movement?"
After Yan Xiuji heard the last part, he realized that he was actually thinking about such things.
President Yan was speechless: "Isn't your thinking a little too unique?"
"Are you okay?" Zhou Ziyi said, "Brother, even if you don't have sex, you still have some self-comfort, right? Once every three or four days isn't too much! If the interval is longer, Auntie will really get suspicious!"
"Who wants to discuss this with you!" Yan Xiuji was so angry that he was about to burst into flames. "No matter how hard you jump, it's useless. The people downstairs won't hear it. Come down here!"
"...Hey?" Zhou Ziyi stopped, walked a few steps to the bedside, knelt down and looked at Yan Xiuji, "I've heard the banging noise upstairs before, it should be similar to this noise."
Yan Xiuji: "Do you think I'm in your old residential area with poor sound insulation?"
"Okay. I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought of the mansions of the rich as the same as the old, dilapidated buildings of ordinary people." Zhou Ziyi said, "What should I do then?"
After he asked this question, he suddenly thought of something and grabbed his pajamas and unzipped his collar: "Or, Mr. Yan, can you bite me?"
Yan Xiuji was stunned by his own question and answer: "...What?!"
"I can twist other places myself, but here..." Zhou Ziyi pointed to the crook of his neck, "I can't do it."
Yan Xiuji felt that his logic was ridiculous: "Why are you doing this again?"
"It means we have a good relationship... that!" Zhou Ziyi said confidently, "This is the easiest place for Auntie to see. It's the simplest and most convenient. Hurry up, don't hesitate!"
As he spoke, he stretched his neck like a swan ready for sacrifice. Yan Xiuji was so angry at his thoughts that he raised his hand, pressed his forehead and pushed him back: "Just shut up!"
Zhou Ziyi fell on the bed: "...Huh?"
"You don't need to do this." Yan Xiuji felt that Zhou Ziyi was really extreme sometimes. "Even if there are no traces, my mother is not idle enough to study our nightlife!"
Zhou Ziyi lay on the wedding quilt and blinked: "But didn't it say in the contract..."
"Acting like a couple in front of outsiders means you should just act like a normal person, not some show-off." Yan Xiuji looked down at him, "So don't do anything unnecessary."
Zhou Ziyi said blankly: "But you seemed to accept everything I did before, I thought..."
"I want you to be moderate in everything." Yan Xiuji said, "It doesn't matter if we interact on the surface, but it's not necessary to leave marks on your body. Also, don't expect me to help you get rid of the marks!"
Zhou Ziyi pondered for a while and said, "Then I'll buy myself a pair of dentures and try to bite them?"
Yan Xiuji: "Is this the point?!"
"Okay, okay, I get it. We don't have to do this next time, right?" Zhou Ziyi sat up and touched the back of his neck. "The main reason is that I don't have experience pretending to be a couple living together, especially with an audience in the front row. It's normal that my acting skills are not accurate and exaggerated."
Yan Xiuji suddenly stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the young man's exposed collarbone with his fingers.
Zhou Ziyi shuddered and grabbed his hand: "What?"
"You trembled when I touched you like this, and you still want me to bite you?" Yan Xiuji retracted his hand, "You overestimate yourself."
Zhou Ziyi coughed lightly: "Well... do it in one go."
Yan Xiuji said, "There's no need to go to this extent. I don't ask you to do this, and you don't need to take the initiative to do this. I made a deal with you to fake marry you, not to turn you into someone else. You can be more comfortable."
After hearing these words, Zhou Ziyi didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long while, he just said "Oh..." in a daze.
Yan Xiuji gave him some space to think, stopped talking, and went to get his tablet to process the news. Zhou Ziyi sat at the end of the bed for a while, and then when he came to his senses, he suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "Brother!"
Yan Xiuji was startled by him: "What are you making so much noise for?"
"No, I just think that we can change this wedding quilt today!" Zhou Ziyi patted the bed, "Doesn't changing the bedding mean everything?"
"..." The young man was so persistent that Yan Xiuji was convinced. After his outburst just now, Yan Xiuji was too lazy to do it again, so he could only say: "If you want to change, then change it."
"Then I'll change now."
Zhou Ziyi climbed out of bed, ran to open Yan Xiuzhi's cabinet, found the four-piece set with familiarity, and changed into it with familiarity.
Yan Xiu Ji looked at the dazzling wedding quilt, which was finally changed to a relatively acceptable blue. The nagging feeling that had been lingering in his heart finally dissipated a little.
***
A few days later, Chu Ling, who had "run away from home", finally returned home.
Zhou Ziyi still didn't quite understand the whole story, but he overheard Yan Xiuji and Chu Ling's chat at the dinner table. It seemed that the Chu family had some influence in Huahao Group, which caused Yan Wenwu's original plan to fail, and he was a little embarrassed, so he called Chu Ling to go home.
As we all know, even if the two sides did not apologize after a quarrel, the one who spoke first was usually the first to bow his head. Chu Ling did not say too much in front of Yan Wenwu, and packed her luggage and went back.
The day she left, Zhou Ziyi and Yan Xiuzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they only have to pretend to be a "superficial couple" when they meet in the morning and evening, they still have to hold their breath and act when they get home. They can't relax. President Yan is very tired.
After Chu Ling left, Zhou Ziyi was relieved. The next day, he went to the sanatorium in the suburbs to see Zhou Wenwen.
Since the last time he came with Tang Shirong, Zhou Ziyi started preparing for the wedding, and he hadn't seen her for a long time. This time, Zhou Wenwen seemed very happy and chatted with him for a long time. Zhou Wenwen also showed him the photos of the small dresses she had ordered. Zhou Ziyi didn't know much about these dresses, and just said they were all beautiful.
Although three months have passed, we still don’t know how Zhou Wenwen’s health is, whether she can support herself to stand up, put on her skirt and go out for a walk.
"Brother, can I buy a set of makeup?" After showing the skirt, Zhou Wenwen looked at Zhou Ziyi with an eager expression, "My face looks so ugly now. I want to put on full makeup when I wear the skirt and look beautiful!"
Zhou Ziyi asked: "Did the doctor say you can wear makeup?"
"What's wrong with that?" Zhou Wenwen grabbed Zhou Ziyi's sleeve, "Don't rush to buy it, just buy it when the skirt arrives."
Zhou Ziyi was silent for two seconds: "...Do you want to buy anything?"
"Hehe." Zhou Wenwen smiled shyly when she was touched by the words, "Yes... I'll send it to you later, okay?"
"..." How should I put it, Zhou Ziyi's mood was still quite calm.
It's expected.
Zhou Wenwen basically uses this routine when she wants to buy something. When her parents were still around, Zhou Wenwen would be more confident. Now Zhou Wenwen can only ask Zhou Ziyi for money, and the method is a little more tactful, but because this girl has been hospitalized since she was a child and has a simple social environment, it is still easy for her to be exposed in front of her brother.
Zhou Ziyi wanted to sigh, but he never showed negative emotions in front of Zhou Wenwen.
Zhou Wenwen needs to have a good rest and cannot be subjected to any more stimulation.
So, even though Zhou Ziyi knew that this set of cosmetics would not be cheap, he still agreed.
"……All right."
***
"Ziyi, I think you should tell Wenwen something."
On the way back from the sanatorium, Tang Shirong, who was driving, couldn't help but say, "Even if we don't talk about you and Lao Yan, can you at least talk about the debt?"
"What's the point of telling her?" Zhou Ziyi glanced at him, "Can she pay back 50 million, or can she ask the creditor to extend the repayment time for a few more years?"
"Even though she can't, she can at least stop asking you for money!" Tang Shirong snorted, "She still thinks she is the same young lady she used to be, asking for this and that all day long. What she wants is not cheap."
Zhou Ziyi laughed and said, "Brother Tang, does this count as money to you?"
"It doesn't count for me, but it may not count for you now..." Tang Shirong said, "I just think that you dote on your sister too much. Your family was well off before, so it was no big deal to dote on a little girl, but isn't the situation different now?"
After a pause, Tang Shirong couldn't help but say a few words from his heart: "I think Wenwen may not be unaware of your difficulties. She may have guessed that you are in trouble, but she is afraid that if she tells you clearly, it will ruin her current life. So, she should want to escape reality and not want to face a more difficult environment, so she deliberately asks you for this and that to numb herself and pretend that her life is still the same as before."
"...Maybe." Zhou Ziyi laughed at himself, "If it's possible to escape, who wouldn't want to escape?"
The Zhou family was originally a happy family. Zhou Ziyi and Zhou Wenwen had a good family environment since they were young. As they grew up, they saw that their family became more prosperous. The Zhou family's parents never hesitated to give the two children material conditions. Especially Zhou Wenwen, who had been sick since childhood, was given everything she wanted.
However, everything was ruined in the car accident.
Zhou Ziyi's parents died on the spot after the car accident. Zhou Ziyi hurried back to China to deal with everything, only to find that Zhou's business was complicated. The worst thing was that Zhou's parents were planning to expand their business a while ago. The company and personal loans and borrowings totaled 50 million in foreign debts, and the company also had unlimited joint and several liability. After Zhou Ziyi worked hard to sort out the family affairs, he was not able to sort out much of the inheritance, but instead found a lot of foreign debts.
Moreover, his parents' accident caused a large amount of business in the company to stagnate, and it was all over. Zhou Ziyi was overwhelmed by the foreign debt at the time, and he had no time to learn how to manage the company from scratch, so he simply sold it. Most of the things he had before, such as the house, car, gold jewelry, etc., were also sold. But this could only pay off a small part of the debt, and Zhou Ziyi had to continue to work hard.
As for Zhou Wenwen, the death of her parents had already dealt her a great blow, and Zhou Ziyi really didn't dare to tell her about the foreign debts. He was afraid that Zhou Wenwen would think that she had no money to treat her illness, and she would be so depressed that she would commit suicide.
Zhou Ziyi only told her that the family had some debts and most of the assets were sold to pay off the debts. Zhou Wenwen read the contracts and IOUs, and although she didn't fully understand them, she chose to believe them and not ask any questions.
Things have developed to the point where Zhou Wenwen wants to escape reality by living the same life as before.
Zhou Ziyi knew that this was not a good thing, but he didn't know what to do right.
Just hang in there.
Wait until the day when you can't bear it anymore...
Tang Shirong saw that he was thinking deeply, so he thought for a while and decided to change the subject.
"I bought your Sheffield for a year for one million dollars. Did you know that he came to China?"
