Late summer, early autumn, rooftop.
Yue Center had 48 floors, standing at a total height of 239 meters, and the rooftop differed somewhat from a traditional building’s rooftop. The biggest difference was that there was a thick layer of protective glass installed around the edges, reaching several meters high, with a ledge that made it impossible for an ordinary person to climb over.
Thanks to the presence of the glass, the night wind wasn’t so strong here. As one of the top three tallest buildings in Ming City’s northern district, standing here and overlooking the city’s night lights offered quite a unique view.
Zhou Wang noticed a yoga mat, a travel bag, and a phone stand placed in a corner, and couldn’t help but startle:
"You really practice dancing here?"
"Yeah, you’ve seen the situation where I’m living now. Practicing at home isn’t feasible."
During the process of coming up, Shen Yutong’s mood had calmed down a bit, and she nodded in response.
"Did you tell Yu Duo about these relatives of yours coming?"
Zhou Wang casually found a place to sit down, asking at the same time.
"Yeah, I transferred three months’ rent to her at market rate, but Duoduo didn’t accept it..."
After a moment of hesitation, Shen Yutong asked again, "Zhou Wang, have you been in touch with Yu Duo recently?"
"Very rarely. One day she liked one of my Moments posts, but it seemed like she didn’t reply to my messages..."
Zhou Wang recalled.
"Zhou Wang, I think something might be going on with the Yu Family..."
"Why do you say that?"
Zhou Wang was taken aback.
"Because in two days, school starts. Usually, by this time, Duoduo would be making a fuss in the group, organizing the first event of the new semester... But lately, she’s been quiet, and I haven’t seen her for a long time either."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Zhou Wang seemed to ponder. He was aware that the Yu Family had likely encountered some issues; otherwise, Yu Fei wouldn’t be selling the McLaren P1. Listening to what Shen Yutong said now, it seemed like over ten million was far from solving the problems of the Yu Family.
"I’ll keep an eye on it and see what’s really going on."
"Okay."
As soon as Zhou Wang said this, Shen Yutong immediately exhaled in relief.
Although Zhou Wang hadn’t actually done anything yet, Shen Yutong felt as if the problem was already solved...
In Shen Yutong’s world, Zhou Wang was truly omnipotent!
From the earliest time when she was almost taken advantage of by Brother Tu getting her drunk, to the moment of helplessness at the Dianwang Club, she had slowly witnessed how Zhou Wang changed Su Yajing’s life...
To a Shen Yutong who deeply craved a strong support, such a man was like a flame attracting a moth.
Even knowing it wouldn’t burn just for her, even knowing it might burn her up, she couldn’t help but be drawn deeply to him, unable to extricate herself without realizing it.
Gazing at Zhou Wang’s profile, Shen Yutong’s breathing quickened slightly...
She really wanted to kiss him!
Ding-dong!
The sudden ringtone of her phone interrupted Shen Yutong’s reverie. She picked up her phone instinctively, glanced at it, and was momentarily stunned.
"What’s wrong?"
Zhou Wang, noticing her unusual expression, curiously asked.
Shen Yutong silently handed her phone over to Zhou Wang, who then saw the content on the screen:
A WeChat contact noted as "sister" had transferred her a thousand yuan.
"Is this... Shen Yurou?"
Zhou Wang asked, not quite sure.
"Yeah, I only have this one sister..."
As Shen Yutong spoke, the phone dinged again, and another line of text from Shen Yurou appeared in the chat interface:
"Yutong, is that perfume very expensive... I don’t know if a thousand is enough. If it’s not, let me know, and I’ll find a way to transfer it to you quietly."
"Sis, it’s okay, that perfume isn’t worth much."
Shen Yutong typed a reply.
"My sister doesn’t understand, but I searched that brand; I know it won’t be cheap. Just take it... Don’t worry, this is my own money, nothing to do with your brother-in-law."
Seeing the message Shen Yurou sent again, Shen Yutong fell silent, and as Zhou Wang looked closer, he noticed her eyes had turned red again.
When Zhou Wang looked over, Shen Yutong was about to say something when Zhou Wang’s phone rang again.
Zhou Wang answered the call, responding as he walked toward the stairway, "Yes... I’m on the rooftop, you’ll see me when you come up..."
A moment later, when Zhou Wang came back, his hands were full of stuff.
Shen Yutong’s mouth opened slightly as she eyed the drinks and snacks in Zhou Wang’s hands with a somewhat startled expression, "Did you... order takeout?"
"Yeah, I used Jiu Xiao Er... It does deliver pretty fast, only 15 minutes. I heard they just completed the first round of financing, and Tengxun invested... Sorry, I digressed."
Zhou Wang said, then suddenly realized why he was telling Shen Yutong this.
He had recently been paying attention to a lot of business and financial news, and after chatting with people like Zhang Shihao, it had become a bit of a habit to mention such things offhandedly.
When Zhou Wang initially went upstairs, he had bought some food and drinks but left them in the apartment, so he ordered takeout again.
"What is this drink?"
When Zhou Wang sat back down, Shen Yutong curiously picked up the dark green bottle.
Although she was more accustomed to alcohol than Su Yajing, she didn’t go to bars often and knew very few types of alcohol.
"Jagermeister."
"Oh, so this is the legendary Jagermeister?"
Shen Yutong showed some interest, having evidently heard of this drink before.
Jagermeister wasn’t famous for being expensive but rather for its affordability. Take the "1 bottle of Jagermeister + 6 cans of Red Bull + consumable ice cubes" combo that Zhou Wang ordered as an example; it only cost 150 yuan total.
