Zhou Ziyi stayed in the hospital for a week, during which time he discovered that Yan Xiuzhi's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.
President Yan, who was supposed to be very busy, came to the hospital at least once every day except for one day when he didn't come - he also sent a message to Zhou Ziyi saying that he was working overtime in a meeting. Even if he didn't say anything and just sat for a few minutes, Zhou Ziyi felt flattered.
In addition, he also told Zhou Ziyi that if he went out to play and came home too late and had no car, he could tell him and he would make arrangements.
Zhou Ziyi was stunned when he heard this, and even began to doubt whether his position in Yan Xiuji's heart had begun to change. As a result, the young man asked a few more questions, and Yan replied calmly: "My mother mentioned that you have been acting alone, which is easy to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. So in the future, if it is too late, try not to be alone."
Zhou Ziyi's hope suddenly faded.
I thought it was a blessing in disguise, but it turned out to be just rational advice from my mother-in-law. My expectations were ultimately in vain.
But this didn't hit Zhou Ziyi for long. After all, the big CEO always came to see him, and even the nurses in the hospital mistakenly thought that CEO Yan and Zhou Ziyi were in love. Zhou Ziyi was so happy that CEO Yan came to see him every day that he didn't have time to feel depressed.
A week later, Zhou Ziyi was discharged from the hospital and Yan Xiuzhi came to pick him up in person, even without the driver.
Zhou Ziyi had packed his luggage and was waiting. When Yan Xiuji came to help him pull up the suitcase, Zhou Ziyi finally realized, "Brother, you're not going to work today?"
President Yan said calmly: "Nothing, leave work early."
Zhou Ziyi thought, does President Hua Hao have so much free time? When he followed him to the parking lot, the young man was even more surprised: "Brother, your driver is not here?"
Yan Xiuji helped him put the box into the trunk. Hearing this, he glanced at him and asked, "Do you have something to do with him?"
"Uh, no, I just feel..." Zhou Ziyi didn't know what to say, "I feel you are just a rich man who basically has a driver"? You're not crazy!
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Zhou Ziyi simply shut up and slipped into the passenger seat. With his right hand still hanging, he confidently ordered the CEO: "Brother, help me buckle my seat belt!"
Yan Xiuji stood outside the open passenger door and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Go to the back. The wound on your stomach hasn't healed yet."
"But it doesn't hurt that much now. I can buckle my seat belt." Zhou Ziyi said confidently, "I don't want to sit in the back. I have a concussion and I'm carsick!"
Yan Xiuji thought to himself, what the hell is going on? No one would believe that Zhou Ziyi would get carsick. But then he thought again, and guessed that Zhou Ziyi might feel unhappy if he sat in the back and drove, so he insisted on sitting in the front. President Yan had mixed feelings, but he stopped trying to persuade him and bent over to help Zhou Ziyi buckle his seat belt.
In fact, there are not so many twists and turns. Zhou Ziyi simply feels that it is a waste if he does not sit in Mr. Yan's passenger seat, and he is very happy to sit in it.
Yan Xiuzhi fastened his seat belt, which means he gave me a hug in the car. How can I seek justice for this honor?
After Mr. Yan buckled his seat belt and closed the door for him, he walked around and got into the driver's seat. Turning his head, he found Zhou Ziyi laughing silently by himself, and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahem." Zhou Ziyi controlled his expression and said, "Just, you're happy that you can go home?"
Yan Xiuji raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you think living in the hospital is quite comfortable?"
“Hey, a golden nest or a silver nest…” Zhou Ziyi realized something was wrong halfway through and immediately changed the words, “It’s better to have President Yan’s super luxurious apartment!”
Yan Xiuzhi thought he had recovered his spirits and started talking nonsense again, so he didn't think much about it, started the car and got down to business.
"We have basically found out about your beating."
"Huh?" Zhou Ziyi said, "There's been no news this week. I thought they hadn't finished investigating yet."
Yan Xiuji said: "It's almost over. The next step is to transfer the case to the procuratorate. The trial will probably start soon."
Zhou Ziyi said: "But don't you need to ask me during this process? For example, find out who hit me, and then ask me if I know this person or something like that?"
"Because the lawyer answered for you."
"ah?"
"The one who ordered those people to beat you up was Yan Meiyue."
"Ah?!" Although Zhou Ziyi had guessed that it was Yan Meiyue before, it was just a guess based on the relationship, without any evidence. Now, after hearing what Yan Xiuji said, Zhou Ziyi was really shocked: "Is it really her?!"
"Yes." Yan Xiuji didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly, "She was also at the bar you went to that day. She saw you, but you didn't see her. She found a few homeless people in the bar and paid 5,000 yuan to teach you a lesson."
Zhou Ziyi: “…”
"I don't know what to say. I can only say that I am really unlucky to have encountered such a thing." Zhou Ziyi sighed, "My diagnosis is that she has minor injuries. Even if she is sentenced, she won't be sentenced to long, right? Besides, she won't stand there and get beaten obediently..."
Zhou Ziyi couldn’t say what came after that.
Who is behind Yan Meiyue? Of course it is Yan Wenwu.
Zhou Ziyi didn't dare to instigate Yan Xiuji to help him deal with Yan Wenwu. If he was really Yan Xiuji's lover, he might have said a few words, but he was just a contract worker now, so forget it.
Anyway, Mr. Yan has already exceeded the target in terms of curing his condition. As for the rest, he will just have to accept whatever the court decides.
Yan Xiuji glanced at him and said, "She spread your private information online and insulted you, and then hired someone to beat you up. This is considered a bad behavior. The lawyer will do his best to help you fight for your rights."
"Brother, just make the arrangements. I won't worry about this." Zhou Ziyi felt that Yan Xiuji had done his best, and his previous unhappy tone softened. "If you need me to do anything else, just tell me. I'll cooperate."
Yan Xiuzhi noticed that his mood was a bit strange, but he couldn't find out what was strange for a moment, so he had to let the topic go for the time being.
***
After returning home, Zhou Ziyi stood in the living room and actually felt a sense of nostalgia.
Yan Xiuji dragged his suitcase past him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Let me express my feelings." Zhou Ziyi said, "It feels like a long time since we last met."
Yan Xiuji: "We see each other every day."
Zhou Ziyi: "I'm talking about me and the house."
Yan Xiuji: “…”
After not hearing Zhou Ziyi being so naughty for a while, Mr. Yan actually thought it was okay to do it occasionally. He ignored Zhou Ziyi and dragged his suitcase to Zhou Ziyi's bedroom. Zhou Ziyi finally reacted and rushed over and said, "Hey, brother, I can do it myself!"
Yan Xiuji ignored him and dragged the suitcase into the bedroom. Then he turned to look at him: "It's not like I haven't come in before. I came in so many times when I brought you things."
"Well, knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another..." Zhou Ziyi scratched his head, "Luckily I've been pretty clean lately, I'm glad you don't mind."
"I don't ask you to be an immortal who doesn't care about worldly things. Just stay normal." Yan Xiuji said calmly, "Didn't you enter my bedroom before?"
Not only have I been in, I have also slept there for several nights.
Looking back now, Zhou Ziyi wishes time could go back and happen again.
"Okay, Mr. Yan, big brother, take your time to visit." Zhou Ziyi did not resist, walked over, opened his suitcase and slowly packed it up, and asked, "Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Yan Xiuji's eyes inadvertently passed over the four words on the bedside, and then retracted. If possible, he would like to ask what "stay away from the bridge" means. But he talked to a psychiatrist, and the doctor advised him not to ask Zhou Ziyi about this matter too directly, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
After a few seconds of silence, Yan Xiuji brought up another topic: "Are you dissatisfied with the way you handled Yan Meiyue?"
"Huh?" Zhou Ziyi squatted beside the suitcase and looked up at him, "No."
"Really?" Yan Xiuji looked down at him, "Tell the truth."
"...What do you want me to say?" Zhou Ziyi felt that it was inexplicable to say so, so he stood up and said, "We have caught the person, and we have gone through the procedures. The court will go to court. There will be no problem."
Yan Xiuji looked at him and simply stated his guess: "Do you think I won't stand on your side?"
Zhou Ziyi lowered his eyes, then raised them again after a second: "It doesn't matter whether you stand or not. You have helped me a lot. I don't think about anything else."
Yan Xiuji then said, "Do you think that if my father protects Yan Meiyue, I will listen to him?"
He thought about it for a long time while in the car, and finally speculated that Zhou Ziyi might have suddenly lost interest in his case because of this.
Because of the relationship between Yan Wenwu and Yan Xiuzhi, Zhou Ziyi wisely remained silent.
"Knowing current affairs" was Yan Xiuji's initial requirement for the contract partner, and Zhou Ziyi did it. But now, Yan Xiuji felt that this might not be a requirement that must be followed all the time.
"No." Zhou Ziyi replied, "Brother, I believe in the law in this matter. There is nothing to think about."
Yan Xiuji asked: "Then why did your attitude suddenly change?"
"Hmm? Not really." Zhou Ziyi said, "You just relaxed after things were settled. There was no change in your attitude, right?"
Yan Xiuji looked him in the eyes: "You are lying."
Zhou Ziyi closed his eyes: "What about now?"
"What?"
"Am I still lying?"
"..." Yan Xiuji was speechless.
Zhou Ziyi then opened his eyes: "Brother, home is not your company. If you see something, don't say it, so that you can leave room for each other."
Yan Xiuji said: "That is to say, what I just said was right."
"Well, if you force me to admit it, then I can only admit it. So what?" Zhou Ziyi said, "Instead of telling it out and making the two of us unhappy, I might as well just digest it myself.
"And this matter was also enforced impartially, so this should be the normal result. My unhappiness is just based on my long-standing dissatisfaction with Yan Meiyue. There are many victims who want to cut the perpetrators into pieces because of a small matter. But now Yan Meiyue will not be cut into pieces, so it is normal for me to feel a little dissatisfied, right? Do you really have to force me to say it out loud and then embarrass me?"
Yan Xiuzhi sighed inwardly.
He wanted to discuss this matter with Zhou Ziyi, but the long reply from Zhou Ziyi made Yan Xiuzhi, who was always good at planning, feel a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Ziyi behaved decently in most cases, and only became prickly when he was pushed into a corner. And his prickly way always made Yan Xiuji feel that he was hurting his enemy by a thousand while hurting himself by eight hundred. It was like showing the most embarrassing part directly, and then acting like "the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes", preparing to counterattack fiercely.
"I just want to tell you that I will find other ways to make you feel better." Yan Xiuji originally wanted to wait until the dust settled before telling Zhou Ziyi, but now seeing Zhou Ziyi's expression, he subconsciously wanted to make him happier. "You will know when you see the indictment. I will ask Yan Meiyue to apologize to you publicly in the newspaper, on WeChat Moments, and on Weibo. Then buy her hot topics and headlines, and everyone will know what she did."
This time Zhou Ziyi was stunned.
"...Are you serious?" Zhou Ziyi asked, "Won't this affect your company? Your father won't agree!"
"He's not a judge." Yan Xiuji said, "And Yan Meiyue means nothing to my company. You are the president's wife. I help you, so why should my company be affected?"
Even though he knew that what the man said was just objective facts, Zhou Ziyi was still suddenly moved by his next sentence.
No, it should be said that Zhou Ziyi was moved by Yan Xiuzhi's behavior, but when she heard the words "President's Wife", her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Zhou Ziyi lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say. After a long while, he sighed, "Brother, don't regret it later..."
Yan Xiuji said: "I never regret a decision I make."
Zhou Ziyi raised his head and looked at him steadily.
Yan Xiu Ji: ...Here it comes again, that look that wants to hug me!
A few seconds later, Zhou Ziyi turned his head away, squatted back next to the suitcase, and smiled secretly with his back to the man.
Yan Xiuji: ??? You won’t hug me this time?
