C33 (1/2)

When I heard the familiar voice, my whole body quivered and immediately cleared up.

The owner of the voice has not contacted me for a long time.

”Didn't you say you'd wait until after the new year to come back?”

I was stunned upon hearing this news.

”If I remember correctly, I said this to you last year.”

The voice on the other end of the line was magnetic, in contrast to 13, an addictive voice.

”Where are you now?”

After a long pause, I didn't know what to say.

”At the airport.”

”Let me pick you up …”

”Alright.”

No, just a short word of courtesy.

I immediately got up from the bed and got dressed. Before I left the room, I looked at myself and nodded my head in satisfaction. I couldn't find anything wrong with myself.

After driving for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the airport, and just as they arrived, they saw Zhou Zijin waving at them.

I got out of the car and helped him pack. When he saw that I was alone, he smiled and said, ”Why are you alone now? What about your old drivers? ”

”I'm getting on in age and think it's more reasonable to drive by myself.” I sat in the driver's seat, buckling on my seat belt.

I don't know how to explain the existence of Thirteen.

Because no matter what I said, it seemed a bit unnecessary.

”I don't think you have a place to stay right now. Come to my place first.”

I said, like an old friend, and did my part.

He didn't bother with me and just nodded his head in agreement.

I don't know why, but it's only been half a year since we've seen each other, but the relationship between the two of us is already a bit strained.

”Why did you suddenly want to come back? I've heard that you and your wife are getting along very well... ”I thought you guys had made up …”

I said casually as I drove, but in the rearview mirror I saw his face darken.

He didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere in the car turned awkward.

Oh, that's right, I forgot to introduce him. This man sitting in the front seat is called Zhou Zijin, he's eight years older than me.

In our circle, he is already young and promising, even though he has reached a new age.

He's an old friend of mine and Lin Mu's, as well as one of the shareholders in Ye’s. It's precisely because of his existence that those old fellows have to give him some face whenever they want to make fun of me.

I got to know him after I married Lin Mu, he was very close to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me establish my Ye’s after Lin Mu passed away.

It can be said that he is not only my big brother, he is also my excellent partner.

As their relationship grew closer, he knew almost everything about me in his daily life, and I knew everything that had happened to him.

He had a wife, and they had married when he was twenty-eight.

The reason for marriage is simple. In our circle, people often don't form families for love, because everyone is very realistic. They usually only use money to trace the benefits.

The reason why Zhou Zijin chose to start a family with his wife at that time was because his father's days were numbered, and he hoped that he could quickly get married.
