Mainly because he gave too much money

Two days later, when Yan Xiuji was resting at home on the weekend, his personal financial advisor came to him.

Zhou Ziyi felt that people would definitely get double pay for working overtime on weekends, but Mr. Yan probably didn't care about the money.Moreover, Boss Yan "condescends" to help Zhou Ziyi work overtime in person, and Zhou Ziyi feels that his face-to-face is really bigger than the day of the court session.

Yan Xiuji and the financial advisor sorted out Zhou Ziyi's current holdings. At first glance, he felt that Zhou Ziyi was quite rich.But when the financial advisor wanted to settle Zhou Ziyi's debts, Yan Xiuji didn't bring out the materials.

"I'll go through it first." Yan Xiuji said calmly, "I'll check the repayment plan."

The financial advisor thought that your wife's debts had already been publicized by your illegitimate sister, so there's nothing to hide from me.

However, Mr. Yan would pay so much attention to Zhou Ziyi's debts. It seems that what the outside world said was true. Mr. Yan really liked this young man who was seriously in debt.

Zhou Ziyi didn't think much more than the financial advisor this time, he just felt that Mr. Yan was really a super nice person.

The three of them sat opposite each other for a long time, and the financial advisor declined the couple's invitation to stay for lunch—mainly because they didn't want to eat dog food—and withdrew.

But in fact, Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi ate face to face, and they were still talking about Zhou Ziyi's money.Yan Xiuji considered his wording, and said, "I'm not trying to pry into your privacy, but you'd better think about the daily turnover you reported, whether it's a bit high. In my personal opinion, I haven't seen your daily turnover. With such frequent consumption, are you...keeping accounts?"

In fact, what Yan Xiuji really wanted to ask was: where did your money go, do you know it yourself?

Zhou Ziyi's food and lodging are all at home, and he doesn't go out much to play, and Yan Xiuji has never seen him buy a lot of expensive things.But people will consume invisibly. Yan Xiuji doesn't want Zhou Ziyi to strictly control his spending, but he thinks that young people should at least know where his money is spent.

Zhou Ziyi didn't know if he heard the meaning of Yan Xiuji's words, but he just replied: "...I'm remembering."

"It's fine if you know it in your heart." Yan Xiuji didn't persuade much, but just said, "If you are sure that it is this number, then I will make a budget for you based on this."

"Okay." Zhou Ziyi nodded, "Thank you."

Yan Xiuji raised his eyebrows: "You have said 'thank you' many times recently, I understand, you can stop."

"The main thing is that I don't know what else I can do..." Zhou Ziyi sighed, "Brother, if there is anything I can help in the future, I will go through fire and water."

Yan Xiuji was about to say "Just take care of yourself", when Zhou Ziyi's phone rang.

So President Yan turned around and said, "Why do people always like to harass you during meals?"

Zhou Ziyi glanced at the phone: "...it's my sister."

"Why do you report this to me?" Yan Xiuji said, "If you want to pick it up."

Zhou Ziyi answered the phone in front of him.

Zhou Wenwen first asked about Zhou Ziyi's injury and how his lawsuit was going.Zhou Ziyi actually heard that she was not interested in these things, but he answered the question briefly.

After laying the groundwork for a few minutes, Zhou Wenwen finally explained the purpose of her call: "Brother, I have to pay the final payment for the dress I bought earlier!"

After hearing her words, Zhou Ziyi was not surprised at all, but felt that "it is true": "...Okay, how much is it?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiuji glanced at him inadvertently.

But Zhou Ziyi didn't notice, he just lowered his eyes and made a phone call.

"One thousand and eight!" Zhou Wenwen said, "Give me these two days, and the payment will be made next week!"

"Ah."

Zhou Wenwen said again: "Also, brother, didn't you promise me to buy cosmetics after I bought the skirt? I'm optimistic about it! I read a lot of bloggers' recommendations on the Internet, and I chose all kinds of things. A different brand..."

She was chirping like an excited little magpie.Zhou Ziyi just listened quietly, and finally asked: "How much is the total?"

"Is it just cosmetics? Add up more than 2000 to less than 1000!" Zhou Wenwen said excitedly, "I also read about makeup removal and maintenance, and it's not that expensive. It's more than [-] in total..."

"Wenwen." Zhou Ziyi closed his eyes and interrupted her, "My hand was injured for a while, and I lost a lot of money. The picture I managed to get out recently only got 3000 yuan."

Yan Xiuji sat opposite the young man, listening to his words.Although Zhou Ziyi's tone was calm, Yan Xiuji still clearly discerned the helplessness in it, even with some kind of faint embarrassment.

Yan Xiuji felt that he should get up and walk away, not to listen to these too personal phone calls.But when Zhou Ziyi answered the phone in front of him, Yan Xiuji always felt that this meant something.

He couldn't move.

"..." Zhou Wenwen also fell silent on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Zhou Wenwen asked cautiously: "Then... I only buy some cosmetics, is that okay? I bought the important ones first, and I can use some replacements to remove makeup..."

"Only three thousand, Wenwen." Zhou Ziyi said slowly, "I don't care what you buy, but I can't give more."

"Then, I can buy it later... Is it okay?" Zhou Wenwen said, "Brother, next month's concert will be billed, I..."

"Wenwen, I just talked to your attending doctor on the phone a few days ago. You can't leave the nursing home in this condition." Zhou Ziyi lowered his eyes, "Take care of your health first."

"...if I can't take care of me, what should I do?" Zhou Wenwen's emotions also rose, "It's been so long, I've been locked up here, you always say wait for me, wait for me to recover, when will I Is that good? Do I deserve to be imprisoned here for the rest of my life? Then I might as well die!"

"Don't say such things!" Zhou Ziyi sternly said, "Only when you live in a nursing home can you have doctors and equipment to take care of your body at any time. You can't think about such things!"

"I'm going crazy, why can't I think so?" Zhou Wenwen's breath was low, but she still couldn't help raising her voice, "You are so free outside, marrying such a rich person, and being so beautiful, of course I can't understand it. my pain!"

Zhou Ziyi narrowed his eyes: "...you think so?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Wenwen said indiscriminately when she got emotional, "You have a luxury car and a bodyguard, but you don't even want to give me a dress, a set of cosmetics, or a ticket to a concert! Throwing it here, ignoring me at all, but being your president's wife freely, what do you think I will miss you?!"

Zhou Wenwen's voice was so loud that even Yan Xiuji, who was sitting opposite, heard a few words.

Zhou Ziyi said coldly: "Zhou Wenwen, that's not my money!"

"I don't know if it's yours." Zhou Wenwen said, "Anyway, you told me that Mom and Dad's company, house, and various assets were sold and used to pay off debts. Brother, I believed you at the time, you believed yourself?"

"you……!"

Before Zhou Ziyi could say anything, Zhou Wenwen had already hung up the phone.

"..." Zhou Ziyi looked at the darkened phone screen, his eyes dim.

"...Sorry, I made you laugh." The young man stood up and wanted to walk away, but he hadn't finished his meal yet.He picked up the rice bowl and walked towards the kitchen while chopping it, suddenly gobbling it fiercely to himself.

He answered the call in front of Yan Xiuji, and his original intention was to let the other party listen to him roughly, and then discuss with Yan Xiuji whether he should tell Zhou Wenwen the huge debt left by his parents.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Zhou Ziyi was caught off guard and had a fight with Zhou Wenwen on the phone.Hearing Zhou Wenwen's accusation, Zhou Ziyi suddenly felt like a joke.

He even felt that if Zhou Wenwen hadn't hung up the phone, he might impulsively speak out about his debts.

--Calm down.

Zhou Ziyi rinsed the rice bowl, put it in the dishwasher, and then washed his face.

With his hands on the edge of the sink, he took several deep breaths back and forth, before suppressing the grievance and anxiety that was about to erupt, allowing reason to gain the upper hand again.

——She is not in good health, and it is really easy to be depressed if she stays in one place all the time.I really don't care about her recently, and there are all kinds of gossip posts on the Internet, which really make her think wildly...

Zhou Ziyi convinced himself over and over in his head, his right hand holding the sink trembled so hard.

"Are you okay?"

Yan Xiuji followed to the door of the kitchen, and what he saw was Zhou Ziyi nailed in front of the sink.He realized that something was wrong with Zhou Ziyi, but he couldn't start with the matter of the siblings, so he could only ask a general question.

"...It's okay." Zhou Ziyi took a deep breath for the last time, then turned around.

When Yan Xiuji saw his face, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the tears on his face were not tears, but drops of water.

——Did he... just wash his face?

Zhou Ziyi doesn't want to face Yan Xiuji face to face for too long now, he is afraid that if he loses control of his emotions, it will be too ugly.He calmly walked towards the door, towards Yan Xiuji, as if he was just passing by.

Yan Xiuji suddenly grabbed his hand when he passed in front of him.

Zhou Ziyi looked at him.

Yan Xiuji opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "If you need anything, you can find me."

"...Thank you." Zhou Ziyi nodded, this time he really left.

Yan Xiuji watched his back disappear around the corner, then looked at the half-eaten food on the table, and squinted his eyes.

***

Zhou Ziyi didn't come out of his room this afternoon.

He came out during dinner and chatted with Yan Xiuji about investment, but he didn't seem interested.Originally, Yan Xiuji wanted to ask him if the amount of daily turnover was due to Zhou Wenwen's consumption.But looking at Zhou Ziyi's appearance, Yan Xiuji couldn't ask any more questions.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziyi's state is much calmer than at noon, but he still doesn't smile much, and it may take time to recover.

After dinner, Yan Xiuji saw that Zhou Ziyi was about to go back to his room immediately, so he casually mentioned: "You need to use less force on your right hand, and it hasn't fully recovered yet."

Zhou Ziyi was stunned for a moment, then felt some warmth, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Yan Xiuji watched him go again.

——If you don’t go out, you should be fine.

—I still need to find a time to talk to him.

However, on this night, after one o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ziyi rushed out of the house in a hurry.
