Chapter 56 Are You Willing?
I made an appointment with Ye Jing to meet at the coffee shop in front of the theater, and sent a message to Zhou Jingyu before going.
When I got there, there was still half an hour before the drama started, so I went straight into the coffee shop, thinking I would have to wait for a while before seeing Ye Jing. Unexpectedly, when I entered, I saw her sitting by the glass window, looking out the window with a sad expression.
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment and walked over.
Ye Jing had already noticed her arrival, and restrained the emotion in her eyes, replacing it with her usual gentle smile, "Zhanzhan, here, I thought you would be a little later."
Chen Zhan thought she would have to wait a little longer because she came early, but she didn't expect Ye Jing to arrive earlier than her and take a seat opposite her.
The waiter brought the coffee. She didn't like bitter taste, so she ordered full sugar. Ye Jing lowered her eyes and stirred the coffee in the cup.
Seeing this, Chen Zhan asked carefully, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Hearing this, Ye Jing smiled helplessly and said, "You figured it out."
Chen Zhan hummed, because it was too obvious, "Do you want to tell me?"
Ye Jing was silent for a moment before she said slowly, "There's nothing much to say. It's just that the Jiang Yushan Rongchuan project is over, and he's going back to Beijing after the New Year. His family is going to arrange an engagement for him."
Chen Zhan's heart sank when he heard this. "Then what are you going to do with him? Are you going to break up?"
Ye Jing's forced smile finally faded. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. He didn't mention it, and he wouldn't let me go. He asked me to go to Beijing with him, saying he would put me in a theater troupe and I wouldn't have to go back to Sucheng. Before I came here, I had a fight with him, and he said he'd been good enough to me, and that he'd give me everything except the position of Mrs. Jiang."
At this point, she smiled bitterly and said, "People like Jiang Yushan can't be said to be greedy, because they have everything since they were born, and they think they can control everything and own everything, so they think I should obey his arrangements unconditionally."
Chen Zhan couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this. She didn't know what Ye Jing was thinking, nor did she know how to comfort her. She just asked worriedly, "Do you want to leave him?"
Ye Jing lowered her eyelashes to hide the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. "Chen Zhan, if it were you, would you be willing to be Mr. Zhou's mistress who is not seen in public?"
Chen Zhan spoke subconsciously, his tone more decisive than ever before, "No."
The resolute tone left Ye Jing speechless, unable to speak for a long time.
Chen Zhan said calmly, "Mr. Zhou and I have an agreement. I won't follow him forever. When he returns to Beijing, we will separate."
Ye Jing's heart was shocked, and then she said with relief: "Chen Zan, you are very open-minded."
She frowned and disagreed, "Sister Ye Jing, you were the one who told me to treat it like an ordinary relationship. How could you forget what you said at this point?"
Facing Chen Zan's scorching gaze, Ye Jing turned her face away unnaturally, "Because I'm not as clear-headed as you. Perhaps when you reach my day, you'll find that some things aren't as easy as you think."
Chen Zhan remained extremely confident, "That day will never come."
She still has a bright future and will never trap herself in an emotional vortex because of a man.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone beside him rang. The caller ID showed "Mr. Zhou". Ye Jing also saw it and said, "It's Mr. Zhou's call. Please answer it first."
Chen Zhan took a deep breath and calmed down before answering the phone.
Zhou Jingyu called to ask Chen Zan what time the drama would end so that he could come and pick her up.
Maybe he was still angry, so his tone of voice couldn't change to cold and hard. After Chen Zan said the approximate time, Zhou Jingyu heard something wrong.
The person on the other end of the phone sighed lazily and said helplessly, "Who made you angry? Why are you so angry?"
Chen Zhan choked and pursed his lips, saying, "No."
Zhou Jingyu didn't believe it, "Really?"
Chen Zhan said quickly: "It has nothing to do with you anyway, let's talk about it tonight."
Without caring what Zhou Jingyu was going to say, he hung up the phone.
Turning around, he met Ye Jing's inquiring gaze.
She asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Jing shook her head gently. "Mr. Zhou really treats you differently. No wonder Jiang Yushan told me privately that he had no idea that his distinguished brother Zhou Er was so indulgent and doting when he had a mistress in his house."
Chen Zan said nothing when he heard this, but his fingertips curled up slightly.
——
Later in the play, no one mentioned Jiang Yushan and Zhou Jingyu again.
Ye Jing had probably recovered from her shock and felt embarrassed. She even apologized to her, "I was originally happy to invite you to watch the play, but I didn't expect that I would make you unhappy because of other things."
Are you unhappy?
Chen Zan denied it: "No, the drama is quite interesting."
Ye Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is here to pick you up. It seems I don't need to send you off."
As he said that, he gestured to Chen Zan to look at the Cullinan parked across the street. He came alone, driving his private car.
Zhou Jingyu was standing outside the car smoking. He was wearing a black coat that was billowing out. His shoulders were broad and he looked lazy, with the look of a life of decadence. He leaned against the car door and looked at Chen Zan and the others from a distance.
The man had a dull expression, but his facial features were sharp and distinct. Ashes fell down, and a spot of scarlet flickered, making his white and slender finger bones look even colder.
Chen Zan's breathing paused slightly.
Ye Jing whispered at this moment: "Looking at Mr. Zhou, he is even more elegant than the popular stars in the entertainment industry."
Zhou Jingyu put out his cigarette, crossed the street and walked over. His long legs moved quickly, and he exuded a sharp aura.
After a while, he came to Chen Zhan. Seeing that her eyes were still dull, he couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on her face, "Why, it's only been one day, and you don't recognize me?"
Chen Zhan didn't want to admit that he was amazed by him, so he moved his lips and said, "No."
Zhou Jingyu chuckled and pulled her to his side. He touched her hands that were frozen cold from standing outside and naturally took them to warm her hands.
Ye Jing took in all these little movements, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, I will return the lamp to you."
Zhou Jingyu lost his friendly expression when facing Ye Jing, and still had his usual cold expression. "Jiang Yushan didn't come?"
Ye Jing: "I'm not as lucky as Zhanzhan. I don't have a driver to pick me up."
As they were talking, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them. The driver got out and opened the door. Ye Jing said to them, "I'm leaving first."
Chen Zhan finally spoke, "Be careful on the road."
