Although he hadn't driven for a long time and experienced severe motion sickness on the plane, Jiang Yizhou still drove steadily.
Having been reborn, he understood that the beauty of life was something he should cherish. Having faced death once, Jiang Yizhou was not so afraid of it anymore; rather, he feared a complete end.
When someone you care about dies, you feel sorrow for losing that person forever. When someone you feel guilty about dies, that guilt will never have a chance for redemption.
Getting a bit off track, Jiang Yizhou might also be driving cautiously because of his poor driving skills.
The two people in the back seat were chatting freely about their respective situations after parting ways. Jiang Yizhou listened in vaguely; Zhou Ying was currently studying dance in the United States, at some academy in New York...
Well, Jiang Yizhou didn't understand any of this. Did Broadway count as dance? That was the only thing he could think of, but it seemed more related to musicals and dramas. Opera should be somewhat connected to dance!
Even with the knowledge of a Reborn Person, when it came to matters outside his expertise, Jiang Yizhou was just an ordinary person. Ding Zhengnan's insights, which had previously gone unexpressed due to Jiang Yizhou's lack of appreciation for elegance, were now evident.
The three of them first went to the agency to sign the agreement, then completed the transfer of the property deed. By the time they finished this process, it was already dusk. Finally, at Zhou Ying's request, Jiang Yizhou drove her and Ding Zhengnan to see the courtyard.
"Creek..."
The car stopped in the front yard. The construction team that Ding Zhengnan had found had already begun basic repairs and renovations. As for parts that needed remodeling, they were waiting for design plans. Since there were no major demolitions or constructions, the yard was quite peaceful, and the appearance of the Two-Story Building remained unchanged.
"Ah~~" Getting out of the back seat of the car, Zhou Ying seemed to have slightly wet corners of her eyes and shouted out loud.
Jiang Yizhou and Ding Zhengnan did not disturb her; they stood aside while two renovation workers peeked out from a window towards Outside. Upon seeing their employer there, they greeted him and then withdrew back inside to continue working.
"I wonder why Sister Ying wants to sell such a house?" Jiang Yizhou felt that she had deep feelings for this courtyard, hence his question.
Zhou Ying wiped her eyes and regained her composed demeanor. "Sorry to make you laugh; there's no big reason—it's just that I need some money to pursue my dreams."
Jiang Yizhou was left speechless. Pursuing dreams—he had no special feelings towards art. Just as people can be categorized into good and bad, liked and disliked, art could also be divided into what one liked or disliked, but nothing more than that.
If someone devoted everything for an artistic achievement, he would respect it but not understand it.
New York is indeed hard to live in, especially for Chinese Americans in the arts industry; if one is not famous, even maintaining a living can be quite difficult.
However, Jiang Yizhou still felt regretful using money on her behalf; this courtyard could reach over a hundred million in value in twenty years' time.
"Then I wish you, Sister Ying, to achieve what you desire soon!" Jiang Yizhou could only say such hospital words; differing paths do not necessarily imply disdain, but perhaps a fundamental lack of understanding, unable to comprehend her thoughts.
"Enough of that, Sister Ying, how long do you plan to stay in the capital?" Ding Zhengnan asked.
Zhou Ying adjusted her clothes, "I'll stay for a couple of days to visit relatives and friends!"
Ding Zhengnan immediately responded excitedly, "If you go back to school, can you take me with you?"
...
In the following days, Ding Zhengnan indeed became Zhou Ying's shadow. Even Jiang Yizhou was eventually worn down by her charm during the evenings, so he had no choice but to devote the last two days of his vacation to work.
Nostalgia is truly invincible; even a boyfriend who knows her well can be set aside. Does he not realize that she will soon fly away?
Fortunately, Ding Zhengnan's first love was him, without any messy entanglements from the past; otherwise, he would surely be uneasy.
He never considered himself a magnanimous person, especially regarding such matters; all sparks and green shoots must be extinguished at the start.
"Ma Ge, work hard. Focus on developing Portal navigation and similar projects domestically to maintain balance. Be patient and actively pursue cooperation with Vast Universe and Aitexin..." Jiang Yizhou encouraged Ma Huateng, who came to see him off. This time he was genuinely willing to allocate options; otherwise, it would be difficult to keep Ma Ge around.
Opportunities to guide these future big shots from such a high vantage point are becoming increasingly rare; once they rise to prominence, doing so would only breed resentment.
After sending off several company personnel, Jiang Yizhou stood at the entrance for a while, gazing outside for a long time but still did not spot his girlfriend.
Earlier, when Ding Zhengnan called, it was because family matters had detained her; she might arrive late to see him off. Now it seemed like more than just ordinary matters.
"Let's go!" Song Rushi checked her watch and urged him.
Jiang Yizhou reluctantly glanced outside one last time before nodding and following Song Rushi through security into the first-class lounge to wait, needing to adjust his state and minimize motion sickness.
Since he inevitably needed to travel back and forth between China and the United States by flight, Jiang Yizhou was considering getting a private jet; perhaps it could be customized specifically for his situation.
However, with his current assets—even counting stocks—he couldn't afford a private jet; it remained just a thought for now.
As for Ding Zhengnan, she received phone calls from both her boyfriend and her senior sister inquiring about her situation. She could only excuse herself by saying she was busy, and the matter with Jiang Yizhou had been discovered by her parents, specifically her mother.
Zhou Ying was an outsider, and she couldn't let her get involved. Jiang Yizhou was the target of her mother's anger, so it was better for him to unknowingly board a plane.
The atmosphere in the large living room was quite heavy. Lu Yan felt exhausted; it was like a moth to a flame. This was desire, something that couldn't be stopped, even more reckless than when she had first fallen in love.
"When exactly is this happening?"
Ding Zhengnan was quite frank; since she had been found out, there was no point in hiding it. "Five days ago! Mom, why do you care so much?"
Lu Yan recalled that her daughter had come home and spent a long time in the bathroom showering, looking very happy and somewhat unsteady. How did she not notice... Well, it was too late for everything now.
"I am your mother; how can I not care about you? Where is he? That guy with the last name Jiang!" Lu Yan felt that ever since her daughter started dating, she had been getting angrier more frequently, almost as much as when her husband began having an affair.
Unfortunately, she eventually gave up on the latter and reached an understanding with her husband that their home must be harmonious. He could play around outside, but he couldn't cause any trouble.
"He has already gone back to America!"
