Chapter 116 Zhu Jin is acting very strangely

It goes without saying who this person is.

Shen Shuangmiao leaned back in her chair, rubbed her right eye which was still twitching slightly, and shook her head wearily.

No, not at all.

Zhao Mobai tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and his brows furrowed.

"This is really strange."

He pondered, his eyes filled with confusion and wariness. "Knowing him as I do, he can't just let it go like this. That's not like him."

Even Zhao Mobai said so, making Shen Shuangmiao even more uneasy.

Both of them fell silent, and a sense of impending doom filled the car.

They were like two people walking on the edge of a minefield, knowing that there might be a bomb under their feet, but not knowing where it was or when it would explode.

Just as Zhao Mobai started the car and was about to drive away, a familiar black Cullinan, like a ghost, silently glided up beside their car.

The car window rolled down, revealing Zhu Jin's well-defined profile.

He was wearing a dark gray cashmere sweater today, with his coat casually draped over his arm, looking exceptionally handsome.

Seeing him appear without warning, Shen Shuangmiao and Zhao Mobai's hearts skipped a beat almost simultaneously.

Her body tensed instantly.

They've arrived.

He finally came.

Zhao Mobai almost instinctively wanted to step on the gas and leave.

Shen Shuangmiao also held her breath, her hands on her knees quietly clenching.

However, none of the expected events occurred.

Zhu Jin caught up and kept parallel, then gestured for them to pull over and park.

Zhao Mobai glanced at Shen Shuangmiao.

Shen Shuangmiao nodded in acknowledgment before he stepped on the brakes.

The two cars stopped one after the other.

Shen Shuangmiao let out a sigh of relief, knowing that what was coming couldn't be avoided, and got out of the car anyway.

Zhu Jin got out of the car and walked over, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two of them, his face expressionless.

There was no anger or pain in his eyes; his calmness was unsettling.

Zhao Mobai asked, "Is there something you need?"

Zhu Jin didn't look at Zhao Mobai, as if he were just an insignificant driver.

His gaze fell directly on Shen Shuangmiao's face, and he spoke in a low, emotionless voice, as if he were talking to an ordinary business partner.

"Just passing by, I thought I'd drop you off with a document."

He handed me a brown paper document bag, and through the partially sealed opening, I could see that it contained some supplementary technical information about the project.

There is also reference data on related industries under the Zhu family.

This was the resource sharing he had previously promised to President Wang, as Shen Shuangmiao's partner.

Shen Shuangmiao was stunned. She took the file bag and her fingertips touched the cold paper before she realized that this was not a hallucination.

He just wanted to deliver a document?

She and Zhao Mobai announced their engagement, and the wedding date is just a few days away.

Zhu Jin didn't react at all, only occasionally passing by to deliver a work document.

This is even more incomprehensible than him suddenly going insane.

Shen Shuangmiao and Zhao Mobai exchanged a glance, somewhat bewildered.

Zhu Jin glanced at them, then looked at Shen Shuangmiao with a hint of indifferent inquiry in his eyes.

"You're planning to register your marriage in four days, right?"

Shen Shuangmiao's mind went blank, completely unable to keep up with his pace, and she could only nod blankly on instinct.

"right."

Upon receiving confirmation, Zhu Jin's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded slightly.

Then use one

"That's perfect."

"The night before you registered your marriage, Mr. Wang organized a gathering, and several important partners will also be there. He wants to talk to you about the further development of the project."

He paused, then looked at Shen Shuangmiao and asked, "Was it convenient for you to attend that night?"

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Shen Shuangmiao was completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Mobai's eyes widened as well, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

What is he saying?

Shouldn't Zhu Jin be hysterically opposing it and trying every means to sabotage it?

Why is it so calm?

Shen Shuangmiao looked into Zhu Jin's overly calm and unfathomable eyes, trying to find even a trace of anger or resentment.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there, only a still, stagnant pool.

All her predictions and precautions came to naught.

Under Zhu Jin's calm gaze, she almost subconsciously uttered three words:

"It's convenient for me."

Upon hearing her answer, a fleeting, almost imperceptible emotion seemed to cross Zhu Jin's face, so brief as to be impossible to detect.

He nodded, his tone remaining calm.

"Okay, I'll send you the address later."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, turned around, got into the car, and rolled up the window.

The Cullinan emitted a deep roar and quickly disappeared around the street corner.

Shen Shuangmiao and Zhao Mobai looked at each other, unable to recover for a long time.

"Let's go, get in the car first."

Shen Shuangmiao didn't know what to say, so she could only get into the car.

The car was deathly silent, with only the faint sound of the air conditioning reminding them that time was passing.

After a long while, Zhao Mobai finally came to his senses.

He turned his head and looked at Shen Shuangmiao, who also looked bewildered.

Zhao Mobai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging thoughts, turned to the side, and gently squeezed Shen Shuangmiao's icy hand.

"Don't think about it anymore. Maybe...maybe he really realized that it's pointless to keep going, so he chose to maintain his last bit of dignity this way?"

Even he himself couldn't convince himself of this reason. If Zhu Jin understood the meaning of "decency," he wouldn't have acted so recklessly before.

Shen Shuangmiao didn't speak, but silently placed the cold document bag on her lap and looked out the window.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Mrs. Su calling.

Her heart clenched suddenly.

The wedding date was announced so hastily that she forgot to personally explain it to her grandmother immediately.

That's incredibly rude.

Shen Shuangmiao quickly answered the phone, her tone apologetic: "Grandma."

On the other end of the phone, Madam Su's voice was neither happy nor angry, but calm yet authoritative.

"Miaomiao, are you free now? Go back to the old house, Grandma has some questions for you."

really.

Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank, and she replied, "Okay, Grandma, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Zhao Mobai with a hint of helplessness and frustration on her face.

“Grandma asked me to go back to the old house. I forgot to tell her about the wedding beforehand, she must have seen the news.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mobai's expression also turned serious.

He hesitated for a moment, then decisively turned the steering wheel and changed his destination.

“I’ll go with you.” He said firmly. “The wedding date has been set, and it’s only right and proper for me to personally visit the old lady and explain the situation. It’s not appropriate for you to face it alone.”

He thought for a moment and parked his car in front of a well-known health supplement store on the side of the road.

"Wait for me a moment."

Not long after, Zhao Mobai arrived carrying several top-grade bird's nests and some health supplements suitable for the elderly.

“

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The car arrived at the Su family's old residence.

After the servant announced their arrival, he led them to the living room.

Madam Su was wearing a dark purple cheongsam, a cashmere shawl, and her hair was neatly combed.

She showed neither smile nor anger, but simply watched them walk in calmly.

"Grandma." Shen Shuangmiao stepped forward and called softly, her tone tinged with guilt.

"Madam." Zhao Mobai followed closely behind, bowing respectfully and handing the gift in his hand to the servant beside him.

"This is a hasty visit, just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive, Madam."

Madam Su's gaze lingered on Zhao Mobai's face for a moment, then swept over the gifts before she nodded slightly and pointed to the sofa next to her.

"Please sit down."
