After getting on the bus, Zhou Yanjing folded his legs and sat on the pure black leather seat. The extended compartment was spacious and comfortable, enough to create a social distance between them without disturbing each other.
The atmosphere was cold.
Lin Yuxi didn't know if they had talked about divorce in the study. After sitting quietly for a while, she turned to him and asked, "Did your mother say anything to you?"
Zhou Yanjing glanced sideways, his eyebrows indifferent: "What did you say?"
Apparently he didn't mention it.
Lin Yuxi twisted the fingertips of her left hand with her right hand and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "There's only one month left..."
Just as she started to raise her head, Zhou Yanjing's phone rang. He slowly looked away from Lin Yuxi and answered the phone.
I don't know who called, so he answered briefly, looking out the window, and there was a cold indifference in the side lines of his face.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yanjing asked the driver to pull over.
The car stopped, and Lin Yuxi heard his indifferent voice: "Get out of the car. I have something to do. A car will pick you up later."
Lin Yuxi asked subconsciously: "Where are you going so late?"
Zhou Yanjing raised his eyelids when he heard this, his eyes with unknown meaning passed over her face, and the corner of his lips twitched coldly:
"It's too much, Mrs. Zhou."
Like a bucket of icy water, it poured over Lin Yuxi's head and face, making her body feel bitingly cold.
She curled her fingers, opened the car door silently, and got out of the car halfway.
The Bentley drove away from her, and the empty road in the middle of the night soon only had the yellow light cast by the high street lamps, one at a distance, dim and dark.
This place is still some distance from the city. There is no village or shop in front of it, and the wind is a bit strong, rustling in the treetops.
Lin Yuxi forgot to wear a scarf. The cold wind blew into her neck and invaded her bone marrow along the gaps in her sweater. She called a car on her mobile phone app, got in and left.
When Lin Yuxi arrived home, Mrs. Chen was already back. She diligently handed her slippers and glanced behind her: "Madam, the second young master didn't come back with you?"
"Yeah." Lin Yuxi changed her shoes and was about to go upstairs when she remembered something again. She took Mrs. Chen to the room where the cat was kept and told her how to take care of it. .
The house is full of cat supplies, including fully automatic feeders, cat litter boxes, and things that look like trees.
Sister-in-law Chen was filled with wonder when she saw it, and then said: "You raise so many cats, the second young master will be unhappy."
"Close the door of the room and don't let the cat escape." Lin Yuxi said, "If he is not happy, he will not be happy. How can the adult world make him happy every moment."
She used to be easy to talk to, but she didn't know if it was because of what happened last time that she was holding a grudge, so Mrs. Chen shut up in a sarcastic voice.
Zhou Yanjing didn't go home all night.
I didn't reply for the next few days.
If she hadn't seen news about him in various media every day, Lin Yuxi would have wondered whether he died accidentally.
Only a few days after Zhou Yanjing returned to China, it caused quite a stir in the financial world. Everyone was speculating on the purpose of this Wall Street upstart's return to China.
[Boyu returns magnificently, causing great turmoil in the local investment banking market]
[Inside news, Zhou Qizhen is about to step down as the president of Hengtai Bank. The second son returned to China in a low-key manner, suspected of competing for the family business? 】
Even the young doctors and nurses in Lin Yuxi's department were gossiping during lunch.
"It turns out that the second young master of the Zhou family is so handsome. He is so handsome and powerful. My mother, I love him!"
Su Cheng said: "How can I get your love? They are already married."
"Really? Are you getting married at such a young age?"
"Of course it's true! I've seen him look much more handsome in person than in the photos. When he and his wife got married, they had a grand wedding. Don't you know?"
Su Cheng's tone sounded like she was familiar with Zhou Yanjing, and Lin Yuxi looked up at her.
Although they entered the same hospital and the same department in the same year, Su Cheng never dealt with her.
Moreover, when Lin Yuxi and Zhou Yanjing got married, they had not yet graduated from graduate school and had not entered the hospital. She has no natal family, and the only relatives and friends on the bride's side are Yu Jiaxiao.
"You haven't seen that magical picture, have you?" Su Cheng said, "It's the one about exchanging rings at the wedding. The bride is wearing a hazy veil, that profile, and that atmosphere. Let me tell you. , absolutely amazing!”
"Come on, let me search it for you."
She pulled out photos from old news on the Internet, and several people gathered around and discussed:
"Although I can't see her face clearly, I can tell you that she is a beauty!"
"I really want to know who it is."
"Hey, Doctor Lin, why does this profile look so similar to yours?"
Lin Yuxi's expression remained unchanged: "You must have read it wrong."
"Come on." Su Cheng rolled her eyes, "How can she have such a good life and still want to marry a wealthy family."
Lin Yuxi's face didn't show any emotion at all: "How do you know I'm not that lucky?"
Just when Su Cheng was about to say something, a nurse slapped her thigh decisively: "With Dr. Lin's face and professional abilities, marrying a wealthy family is not SO eaSy!"
Su Cheng sneered: "It's been two years, have you seen her husband? If she really marries a wealthy family, how could she not show it off?"
"Yes, Doctor Lin, when will you bring your husband out to see us?"
Lin Yuxi put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth: "Dark marriage. I brought it out for fear of scaring you."
"..."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the dinner plate and left as if nothing had happened, leaving behind stunned faces.
In the evening when Lin Yuxi got off work, Mrs. Chen had already prepared dinner. The table was full of rich dishes, but there were a lot of eggplants, bamboo shoots and other ingredients that Lin Yuxi didn't like to eat.
Lin Yuxi asked her to cook less, but she argued: "If you don't eat, the second young master will also have to eat."
"He can't eat twelve courses by himself."
Lin Yuxi is a person with a good temper. Whenever others treat her well, she wants to return the favor.
She doesn't like to conflict with others. In many cases, as long as she doesn't go too far, she won't be embarrassed. But once she closes her heart to someone, it's hard to open it again.
"You don't need to be thrifty, but don't be too extravagant and wasteful."
Sister-in-law Chen muttered in a low voice: "This is all the Second Young Master's money. It is made for him to eat. It is not a waste."
Lin Yuxi ate her meal slowly: "My hearing is fine. If you want to talk about it, stay away."
Mrs. Chen shut up.
The meal was almost finished and Zhou Yanjing didn't come back. Mrs. Chen looked at the door several times and couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you call the second young master? It's been a few days, why don't you go home today?"
Lin Yuxi: "If you miss him so much, why not call him yourself."
Mrs. Chen looked embarrassed: "I didn't mean that..."
The sound of a car suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and Mrs. Chen was overjoyed: "Is the second young master back?"
She hurriedly ran to open the door, and Lin Yuxi looked at the door.
Mrs. Chen opened the door. The driver, Old Liu, held a cardboard box and said to Lin Yuxi from a distance: "Madam, the second young master asked me to bring back the things you left in the car that day."
"Leave it there."
Lao Liu put the box at the door and did not come in. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Yuxi asked again, "Where is he staying these days?"
