Ninety-nine:
It was already late when Chu Cheng got home. He stayed in the company for a long time, from dawn to dusk. He wanted to go home, but he didn't dare to go home. Everyone thought he was working overtime, but only Chu Cheng knew that he actually did nothing today. He sat in the office, thinking that Ji Qingzhou was about to leave, thinking that he would go back tonight, but he could no longer see the person who was supposed to be in this room. He was in a trance and couldn't concentrate no matter what.
This shouldn't be the case, Chu Cheng thought. He had never been in this state before. He had never let his private life affect his work. This situation was totally inappropriate.
Chu Cheng stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt and got out, but he saw the Porsche he gave to Ji Qingzhou. He gave the car keys to Ji Qingzhou yesterday and told him that the car belonged to him and asked him to remember to ask someone to help drive it away. Ji Qingzhou agreed, but now, the car is still in his garage.
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he thought of something, and walked quickly to the elevator and returned to his home. He found the house key and car key on the bedside table in the bedroom without much effort. At that moment, Chu Cheng felt the helplessness and irritability in his heart, and he took out his mobile phone and called Ji Qingzhou.
Ji Qingzhou answered the call after a while and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Why don't you want it?" Chu Cheng asked him straight to the point, "What do you mean by leaving the house and the car behind? They are all given to you, and you have already accepted them, so why don't you want them?"
The moment Ji Qingzhou saw his phone number, he guessed that it might be because of this. Now hearing him say this, he was not surprised and replied in a low voice, "It's too expensive. I am unworthy of it."
"What's so valuable about this? I gave it to you, so can I take it back if I gave it to someone else?"
"Chu Cheng," Ji Qingzhou said softly, "Maybe these are not expensive to you, but to me, they are too expensive. I already owe you a lot, and I don't want to bear these anymore."
"I've lived here, so don't feel too burdened. You gave me your time and company, so I gave you money. This is fair, and you don't have to be so calculative. Besides, you're leaving me now and moving out, but your previous house is obviously not suitable for you to live in now. You need a place with a complete security system that can protect you. Do you understand?"
"I understand, so I have already rented a house. I haven't returned to that rental house, don't worry."
Chu Cheng was stunned. "Have you rented a house?"
"Um."
"When did it happen?"
"In July or August."
Chu Cheng couldn't believe it. July and August, just these two months! He and Ji Qingzhou saw each other every day, but he didn't know anything. Ji Qingzhou actually kept it from him!
"You..." He took a deep breath to calm himself down, "You've already found a house in the past two months?"
"right."
"But you didn't tell me." Chu Cheng suppressed his anger, helplessness, depression and dissatisfaction and said, "You didn't tell me that you went to look for a house, and you didn't tell me that you had found a house. I thought you would tell me about this kind of thing."
Ji Qingzhou was silent for a while. He looked at the night outside the window and spoke quietly and slowly. He knew Chu Cheng didn't want to hear him say this. He also knew that Chu Cheng would definitely not like this sentence. But this time, he couldn't go along with him like he did in the past.
"I can't agree with you on everything," he said, "I should be able to make my own decisions on my own affairs."
Chu Cheng was speechless. He slowly sat down on the bed holding the phone.
Ji Qingzhou was right. It was his own business and he certainly had the right to make his own decisions. He knew that he was about to leave, so it was natural for him to find a place to live after he left. There was nothing wrong with that, and he did the right thing.
Isn't this what he wanted? From the beginning, wasn't it that he and Ji Qingzhou agreed to be together during the contract period and not to get entangled when they separated? Now Ji Qingzhou has done it, he has done it very well, he even found a house for himself, what right does he have to blame him?
Chu Cheng held the phone in his hand, thinking about something, but he couldn't say it out. He didn't know what to say or how to do it. He was worried that Ji Qingzhou would have no place to live after leaving him. He considered that Ji Qingzhou's current popularity was not suitable for the previous rental house, so he specially gave him a house on the eve of their departure. He picked and chose among the houses under his name, according to Ji Qingzhou's preferences, the future appreciation potential, and the surrounding environment. Considering various factors, he chose a house that he thought was most suitable for Ji Qingzhou.
The house in the south of the city is not the most valuable one in his hands, but it is the most suitable one for Ji Qingzhou.
But Ji Qingzhou didn't need it, he had already found a house. When he didn't know, he found a new place to live. So, he didn't need it anymore.
Chu Cheng felt a little bitter in his mouth. He opened his mouth but still said nothing. He suddenly realized that it was not just the house, but also the car. Ji Qingzhou seemed to have accepted the car, but he had never driven it. He had always been driving it himself.
These gifts he gave out, whether intentional or unintentional, once they exceeded the burden in Ji Qingzhou's heart, he would not accept them. Ji Qingzhou was so smart, he always knew what he wanted to hear and what he wanted to see, so he accepted them all on the surface and did not argue with him, but privately he tactfully returned all the things to him.
