Chapter 89 - Conversation on the Bridge



Zhou Ziyi had long wanted to discuss Zhou Wenwen's matter with Yan Xiuzhi, mainly the issue of whether or not to tell her about the large foreign debt.

It was just that it was delayed by various things before, so it has been left until now. Zhou Ziyi had not planned to talk about it today, but Yan Xiuji first mentioned the issue of the repayment plan, so Zhou Ziyi simply talked about it together.

This wasn't a complicated matter. Zhou Ziyi finished explaining the current situation, the reasons, and his own conflicts in just a few minutes. He didn't mention all the bad things Zhou Wenwen had said. These were all things she had said without thinking when she was upset. Zhou Ziyi didn't want Yan Xiuji to have a bad impression of her.

However, even if he didn't say it, Yan Xiuzhi could guess it.

Zhou Ziyi took Zhou Wenwen's call in front of Yan Xiuji. Yan Xiuji could tell about Zhou Wenwen's condition just from that one call. And Yan Xiuji was very clear about Zhou Wenwen's illness. It was not surprising that a little girl who had been trapped in the hospital for so long would have such a bad temper.

"So, you want to ask me whether I should tell her about the 50 million debt?"

Yan Xiuji's tone was very calm: "In fact, I think you should have made a plan from the beginning and told her slowly. There is no need to wait until now."

"I've often thought about this in the past year." Zhou Ziyi sighed as he looked at the light and shadows cast by the buildings on the riverside, "But there's nothing I can do. The longer I put it off, the harder it is for me to say it. After marrying you, it's even harder to explain it clearly. I can't tell her that we're in a contract marriage..."

"Speaking of this contract, I've recently been drafting a supplementary agreement to cancel it." Yan Xiuji calmly dropped a "bomb", "Do you want me to help you repay the debt until all the debts are cleared?"

"..." Zhou Ziyi took several seconds to react before he completely understood what he was saying, "No, no need... There's nothing to write about this..."

"Aren't you always worried about having no way out? Then I'll write it down in black and white for you." Yan Xiuji said, "As long as it can make you feel at ease, it doesn't matter if it's written down. And the original contract will be invalid. If something unexpected happens in the future, you will definitely not be left with nothing. At least in terms of finances..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Zhou Ziyi pulled his hand, "I believe in your character, don't make it so complicated, it makes me look like a vampire."

"I am willing. Others will not know and have no right to comment." Yan Xiuji said, "Then it is settled. After I help you settle your debt, this will be invalid. It doesn't matter."

Zhou Ziyi: "...Then why are you asking me?"

"It's just a routine announcement." Yan Xiuji replied calmly, "You can have any opinions during the announcement period, and I can explain and refute them."

Zhou Ziyi raised his eyebrows: "Wow, you bastard, the Securities Regulatory Commission wants to have some tea with you."

"There is no third party in this contract. All the rights of interpretation are mine." Yan Xiuji paused and brought the topic back to the topic, "Let's talk about Zhou Wenwen. Have you made up your mind to tell her now?"

"I had already made this plan before her condition suddenly deteriorated a while ago. But when she got into trouble, I..." Zhou Ziyi sighed, "Oh, I'm really a wimp. Do you have any suggestions?"

"You are just too concerned." Yan Xiuji thought for a moment, "But it is better to talk about it now than before. You don't have to explain it in detail. Just say that you and I will solve it together, but it will take some time. Let her rest in peace and don't think too much."

Zhou Ziyi hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you think I should gently remind her to spend money more moderately?"

Yan Xiuji responded quickly to this point: "Perhaps, you should consider changing to a pocket money system."

"Um?"

"The pocket money I give you will not change, and some living expenses will be added later. You can buy some simple things for your family on a regular basis." Yan Xiuji said, "After that, you should have some financial returns. It should be feasible to allocate part of it as Zhou Wenwen's pocket money."

Zhou Ziyi understood his thoughts.

By changing to a fixed pocket money system, Zhou Wenwen should have a certain plan for spending money, which can be considered as giving her something to do. And if she wants more money in the future, Zhou Ziyi will have a legitimate reason and ask her to explain it.

"...I understand." Zhou Ziyi looked at Yan Xiuji, "I have considered what you said before, but my income was not so stable before, so I was worried... Anyway, now I do have the conditions."

"I think we can find a psychologist to talk to her. You don't have to tell her that she's a psychologist. Just say that she's a new doctor in the hospital and ask about the situation." Yan Xiuji said, "You can communicate with the expert first, so that it will be easier to prescribe the right medicine."

In fact, Yan Xiuzhi also hoped that Zhou Ziyi would talk to a psychological expert himself.

The piece of paper Zhou Ziyi had pasted on the bedside had always been a shadow on Yan Xiuji's heart. Yan Xiuji always wanted to find a chance to resolve it, but he was afraid of irritating Zhou Ziyi, which was almost the same as Zhou Ziyi's attitude towards Zhou Wenwen.

This should be a good opportunity.

"Oh, sure."

Zhou Ziyi agreed without thinking too much: "But I don't have any channels, you..."

"I'll help you find it."

"Thank you very much." Zhou Ziyi paused and said, "If it's convenient for you recently, let's go see her together?"

"It's convenient. I've finished my work recently. You can arrange it." Yan Xiuji said, "If you feel it's hard to say it to her alone, I can help you say it."

Zhou Ziyi knew that he was being considerate of her, so she didn't refuse immediately. She just smiled and said, "Okay."

Yan Xiuji continued: "Or, can you arrange for me to meet your parents?"

Zhou Ziyi was stunned when he heard this: "...Ah?"

"Are you so surprised?" Yan Xiuji looked at him standing there in a daze, and laughed softly, "Actually, I should have gone after we got married, but the circumstances were special, so I was impolite and didn't go. Now that we're officially together, I should go meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, right?"

Zhou Ziyi was still a little dazed at first, but when he heard the last words "father-in-law and mother-in-law", he couldn't help but twist Yan Xiuji's hand: "What are you talking about!"

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Yan Xiuji chuckled and moved closer to him. "Just arrange a day to visit your sister and visit your parents' graves, ok? You should also introduce me to them properly."

"..." Zhou Ziyi lowered his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "Then I guess I'm going to be laughed at."

"What?"

"I told them before that I married you for money." Zhou Ziyi said, "In the beginning, I even asked them if they wanted to sign a contract with you."

"Really?" Yan Xiuji was a little surprised. "I saw Tang Shirong responded quickly, so I thought you made up your mind quickly too."

Zhou Ziyi was amused: "Toss a coin... Oh no, Brother Tang gave me chips. How long does it take to toss a chip? Isn't it fast?"

Yan Xiuji said: "So, the result of the coin toss is that my father-in-law and mother-in-law agree to our marriage?"

Zhou Ziyi: "I guess so."

Yan Xiuji: “Is it?”

"Brother Tang said that whether I want to get heads or tails before I toss is a decision I make in my heart." Zhou Ziyi said, "I think he is right."

"So you think you want to marry me?"

"At the time, I was thinking about seizing this opportunity." Zhou Ziyi smiled, "After all, there aren't many jobs that can earn 30 million in three years... for me."

"Then I have to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for their guidance. After all, your feelings and the results of throwing chips may come from the same guidance." Yan Xiuji said, "However, you and Tang Shirong do have a good relationship. Do you even ask for his opinion on such a thing?"

Zhou Ziyi understood the meaning of this sentence, leaned close to him and looked into his eyes: "Are you a little jealous when you say that?"

"You don't have to say that. I can be very frank." Yan Xiuji said, "I do care a little about your relationship with Tang Shirong, but it's just curiosity. It won't hinder your relationship with him."

Zhou Ziyi said happily: "Boss Yan, do you really have to explain jealousy so clearly?"

Yan Xiuji said: "I just don't want any misunderstanding."

"Speaking of this, there seemed to be a lot of things between us before, and it was easy to cause misunderstandings." Zhou Ziyi sighed, "But in the end it seemed that everything was solved smoothly, without any big problems? Ah, except for that time when I forcefully kissed you... I remember now!"

He suddenly remembered something: "You said before that I forgot to kiss you once, when was that?"

"The day you played 147," Yan Xiuji replied, "you came home drunk and almost fell asleep in the hallway, remember?"

"...I remember." Zhou Ziyi recalled, "I think I said a lot of mushy things to you, and I apologized to you afterwards, right? I kissed you?"

"Kissed." Yan Xiuji tapped the corner of his mouth, "Here."

"...Uh, I promise, I'm definitely not a kissing maniac after getting drunk." Zhou Ziyi coughed a little embarrassedly, "And I really don't remember it, otherwise I wouldn't have deliberately omitted it and not apologized to you. Why didn't you remind me at the time?"

Yan Xiuji raised his eyebrows: "How can I remind you? Ask you why you kissed me, and you forgot about it?"

Zhou Ziyi thought about this scene and suddenly found it funny.

"Okay, then I'll apologize to you now?" Zhou Ziyi looked around, confirmed that there were no pedestrians nearby and that it was not easy for vehicles on the bridge to notice this place, and suddenly moved closer!

He lightly touched the place where Yan Xiuji had just pointed, then stepped back.

Zhou Ziyi smiled at him with curved eyebrows and eyes: "I will definitely remember this time."

Yan Xiuzhi was really stunned this time.

He could walk hand in hand with Zhou Ziyi outside without hesitation, but he had never thought about kissing her. Mainly because he felt a little reserved, and he also thought that Zhou Ziyi would probably get angry. He never expected that Zhou Ziyi would actually take the initiative to kiss him right on the bridge.

But how to say it... Yan Xiu Ji doesn't hate this feeling.

He thought he would feel restrained, but in fact, the sudden sense of surprise far outweighed other negative thoughts.

"Are you stupid?" Zhou Ziyi saw that he didn't respond for a long time and let go of his hand. "Then I won't care about you anymore."

After that, Zhou Ziyi took the lead and walked forward. Yan Xiuji looked at his figure, the neon light reflected on his body, dyeing his hair into a warm glow.

Yan Xiuzhi suddenly wanted to laugh, so he laughed.

Then he walked forward, inserted himself between Zhou Ziyi and the bridge's guardrail again, and held the young man's hand.

Zhou Ziyi smiled at him: "Why are you squeezing me?"

Yan Xiuzhi didn't explain, he just took his hand and led him forward.

Zhou Ziyi was still joking: "Hey, you've taken care of all my affairs. I think I can't repay you even if I sell my whole life to you."

Yan Xiuzhi glanced at him, and the president, who usually didn't like to respond to jokes, rarely responded.

“It will take eight lifetimes to pay it back.”
