After returning to my place from Yang Sisi's inn, I immediately took a hot shower and then went into the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge; during this time, I called our boss to ask for leave.
My boss knew that my work as a food delivery driver was similar to my hobby, so he didn't mind that I was taking too many days off and simply arranged for Xiao Hu to cover my shifts.
...
While I was having breakfast in the yard, Nicole got up and I scooped her a bowl of porridge so she could have breakfast with me.
Nicole sat down and tied her messy hair up with a hair tie. She asked me, "Where did you go last night? I saw you leaving with Sisi."
"We spent the night outside."
"You're not kidding, are you?"
“I’m not kidding. She took me to a place that was practically the middle of nowhere… At night, I couldn’t see anything, I could only hear the sound of flowing water and the turning of a windmill… She told me a lot, and we almost made a mistake, but in the end nothing happened… Early the next morning, I took her back to the inn where she was staying…” After a short pause, I added, “We were both drunk, so we slept there for the night.”
Nicole looked at me for a long time before saying, "How much of what you say can I believe?"
Do you think I'm just going to lose control?
“I think you shouldn’t be fooling around with her... You should find a proper inn to stay in, then it’ll be fine... But in this desolate place, if something really happens, can you take responsibility?”
I smiled and countered, "So, making mistakes can be forgiven; but failing to ensure personal safety is unforgivable and incomprehensible... right?"
"Don't nitpick my words. If you're staying at an inn, can't you each have your own room?"
After a brief pause, Nicole continued, "Actually, you're all adults. If it's consensual, there's nothing that's hard to understand... After all, there aren't that many conservative people these days; many are addicted to doing whatever they want!"
"Nothing really happened... I really wanted to describe how I felt at the time... but after the initial shock, it felt so fake to say it out loud... But the truth is, nothing happened!"
I got a little anxious, so even my way of expressing myself became a bit conceptual. I couldn't say anything substantial, but I hoped that Ni might believe me.
Nicole smiled, indicating that I didn't need to care too much about her opinion. She said: With Chen Jin, that scumbag, as an example, she can understand whatever I do.
I didn't explain further, but in my heart, I re-examined myself... In fact, regardless of whether anything happened between me and Yang Sisi, my behavior was still scumbag, at least in Lu Jia's eyes.
...
Because I felt guilty towards Lu Jia, after breakfast I took the purchase contract I signed with "Cangshan Yishu" to the sales office and then used Lu Jia's documents to amend the contract; from then on, the property rights of this house in Dali also belonged to Lu Jia.
I took a picture of the new contract with Lu Jia's name on it and sent it to Lu Jia.
She simply said "thank you" to me meaningfully, without calling to inquire about the details, probably because such matters were a bit sensitive, and saying too much might affect the relationship between the two of them.
Anyway, I'm relieved. I've also given my mother and Lao Mi an explanation. I've given Lu Jia everything I could, and with such a big constraint in their eyes, my marriage to Lu Jia is definitely a done deal. They seem to have a lot of confidence in Lu Jia, so even though I transferred all my assets to Lu Jia's name, they didn't object, and even supported it.
...
After completing the contract amendment, I went to see Manager Yao from the marketing department. Since he already had the intention to cooperate, the meeting didn't take too much effort.
We talked for two hours and finalized many details of the collaboration. The next step is for me to show them the advertising samples for review. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract.
Ultimately, it's the real estate business that's rich. They're asking for 50,000 advertisements right off the bat. If this collaboration goes through, I can personally earn around 70,000 yuan from this deal. I'll use that money to continue investing in Chen Jin and Tina's bar.
My current approach is to focus resources on running the bar well, and then, in the process, explore and plan for larger projects.
...
As I left the sales office of "Cangshan Villa", I saw Ye Zhi's G-Class in the parking lot. I knew she worked inside... I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions: a year ago, I was worried about her life or death, living like a ghost... Now, she is safe and sound, and we are only separated by a wall, but I am quiet. I know I have no reason to see her.
So what Yang Sisi said is right... She is a woman I can't afford to love.
Under the blinding sunlight, I subconsciously glanced at the second floor of the sales office. In that instant, our eyes met. She was standing in the outermost office on the second floor, backlit by the sun, looking in my direction…
Without saying a word, we each looked away. My next stop was a detention center, and hers might be Shanghai. It was as if it were destined, getting further and further away.
...
Driving the Porsche I borrowed from Xiao Song, Yang Sisi and I arrived at the entrance of the detention center. Yang Sisi wouldn't let me get out of the car, only allowing me to wait inside. She said, "I've been inside this place once before, and if I get out of the car again, it will have a bad omen."
But I'm very anxious. I'm really worried about Zhou San because his personality is too weak. I don't know if anyone has bullied him in these five days, and whether he can maintain his composure.
I rolled down the car window and peered towards the gate again; logically, it should have been time for him to be released, but there was no sign of the gate being opened.
"You didn't get the date wrong, did you?"
I checked the date on my phone again to make sure it was correct before replying to Yang Sisi, "That's impossible. I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I've been calculating it in my mind."
"Let's wait a bit longer... He probably has a lot of friends inside, and he's saying goodbye to them one by one."
“The people inside are lucky if they don’t bully him; nobody treats him like a friend… No, I have to go down and ask.”
“It’s bad luck to say that, so don’t go down there… I’ll ask him his real name for you.”
After I told Yang Sisi my real name, Zhou San, she opened the car door and got out... She found a staff member and started gesturing and talking; I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I just kept observing her expression.
She spoke with a smile at first, then her expression suddenly turned serious.
My heart skipped a beat. Without thinking twice, I opened the car door and walked towards Yang Sisi… Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read the novel, discuss life, and find kindred spirits~
