Chapter 279: Powerless
Jian Yi woke up the next morning, and Zhou Qi was still holding her hand tightly. It took some effort for her to gently pull her hand out of his, then put on her shoes and walked out of the room lightly.
Tossing and turning for half a night last night, her brain swelled and ached, and it wasn't until she went to wash her face with cold water that her confused brain woke up.
I needed to take care of Zhou Qi last night, and I obviously didn't need it today. She didn't stay long, washed her face and left.
The sound of the door being gently closed was particularly harsh in the quiet space, and Zhou Qi, who was lying on the bed, didn't know when he had gotten up, with a cigarette burning between his fingers, and leaned against the head of the bed.
There was still the residual warmth left by Jian Yi in the quilt on the side, and there was still her breath on the pillow, he closed his eyes, and leaned quietly on the bed for a while, letting the cigarette ash between his fingers burn into ashes little by little. It wasn't until his hands burned that he threw it into the ashtray beside him, and instead of lying down, he got up and got out of bed.
The drunken headache still exists, and he didn't sleep well last night, but it's rare that he doesn't dare to move. I'm afraid I'm going to disturb her.
Zhou went to the bathroom, shaved and washed his face as usual, and stood in front of the mirror for a while, then went downstairs with his coat and car keys. In the car, his head was still in severe pain, so he took out a pill and swallowed it, and then started the car.
Jian Yi went to see the customer at noon the next day, and after talking about things, she took the elevator downstairs, and as soon as she walked out of the building, a voice stopped her, "Ah Yi." ”
Jian Yi turned around and saw his father walking briskly from the lobby. He was wearing a formal suit, I don't know if he was gaining weight or what, and his body looked very bloated.
Jian Yi didn't expect to see him here, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Song Weihe quickly stepped forward, put on a smile on his face, and said, "I have been waiting for you here not long ago when I saw you go up, and I almost missed a phone call just now." ”
Seeing that he was not pleased, Jane was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Song Weihe rubbed his hands and said, "I can't do anything now that I'm old, Xiao Zhou arranged for me to drive in the company, and I just sent someone here today." ”
Jian Yi always thought that he was working for the creditor to pay off the debt, but he didn't expect it to be on Zhou Qi's side. She couldn't help but be stunned again and asked, "Have you been in their company?" ”
Song Weihe nodded and asked, "Didn't Xiao Zhou tell you?" ”
Jian Yi didn't answer. Zhou Qi knew that she wanted to draw a clear line with him, so how could he tell her.
Song Weihe saw the answer from her face, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to proportion, and I will do it steadily, and I will not cause him any trouble." ”
He was a guarantee, looking at his daughter with a blank eye.
Jian Yi's heart was indescribably tired, and she asked, "Do you have anything else?" ”
Song Weihe didn't expect her to even be reluctant to say more to him, rubbing his hands and saying, "Ah Yi, Dad is sorry for you, and he won't be in the future." ”
Jian Yi had heard this countless times, and said, "I still have something to do, if you are okay, I will leave first." ”
She said that she left in a hurry without waiting for Song Weihe to speak again, and did not stop when she arrived at the car, and drove away immediately.
She didn't expect that her father was in Zhouqi Company, and after returning to the company, he sat in the car for a long time, reached out and pressed his swollen eyebrows, and then went upstairs.
She didn't know how much debt Zhou Qi had paid off for his father, she didn't know, she knew that she had to figure it out. She checked her balance, sat back for a while, and then went to work.
She didn't work overtime at night, she went to the hospital after work. She arrived early, and Li Su was still the only one in the hospital. She wasn't in a hurry to leave today.
Later, Zhou Qi came over to see her slightly surprised, and immediately stepped forward. In front of Li Su, he didn't say anything, just nodded as a greeting.
This week, Zhou Jining was in the hospital, and after he came over, he had a simple greeting with Jian Yi and let them go first. There are a lot of things on Zhou's side now, and even in the hospital, he has to deal with work.
Jian Yi didn't speak all the way with Zhou Qi, and only after entering the elevator did Zhou Qi speak: "Let's eat together." ”
Jian Yi just had something to say to him, so he nodded and said yes.
She couldn't help but glance at her so simply, and she always felt that something was strange. She'd been avoiding him all this time, and it was no wonder that she readily promised that he would feel unaccustomed.
Someone came in the elevator again, and he quickly retracted his thoughts and used his body to protect Jian Yi from crowding her in.
Jian Yi showed a state of emptiness, I didn't know what I was thinking, and it took a while to say thank you.
The two didn't go far, and found a restaurant near the hospital. Zhou Qi's relationship with Zhou Jining has eased a lot now, and after calling him to ask if he has eaten yet, he asked the store to pack a meal and send it over.
Before the food came up, Jian Yi poured tea and took a sip, then looked at Zhou Qi opposite, and asked very calmly, "How much debt have you paid for my father?" ”
Although Zhou Qi didn't intend to let her know, she knew that it would be sooner or later. He didn't think he could keep it a secret from her.
I wasn't surprised to hear her ask, and I didn't say the amount, but just said lightly: "Uncle Song is working very seriously now, and he will pay off the debts he owes." ”
No wonder she agreed to eat so readily, it turned out that it was for this.
He naturally knew that this could not prevaricate Jian Yi, so he paused slightly, and then continued: "This is a matter between me and him, you don't have to worry about it." You just let him be on my side, I know who he is going to be, at least he won't go out and get into trouble again. The old lady is too old to withstand a few tosses. ”
He was smart enough to move the old lady out. Only the old lady will make Jane Yi compromise.
Sure enough, these words made Jian Yi droop his shoulders, pursed his lips and did not speak. She knew that Zhou Qi was right. At least for now, there is no way for her to set him in and prevent him from going out and causing trouble again. But......
Zhou Qi seemed to know what she was thinking, and said again: "You don't have to feel any burden, the positions in the company always have to be done." Uncle Song's salary is the same as that of other drivers, and there is no preferential treatment. He doesn't owe me anything, and you don't owe me anything. Having him in the company is nothing more than a gesture. ”
How could Jian Yi not have a burden, the more he said it lightly, the heavier her heart became. She didn't want to owe him anything more, but she didn't expect to trouble him again. If she had known, she wouldn't have allowed it.
