What is Chapter 72?

Zhou Wu was taken aback by her directness, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"Fine, then I'll get straight to the point. Do you think it's enough that you're now the daughter of the Su family? Do you think Zhu Jin will give up on you because of this?"

Shen Shuangmiao frowned slightly but did not reply.

Zhou Wu leaned forward, looking somewhat anxious.

"He won't! You know that once Zhu Jin has made up his mind about something or someone, he will never give up easily, especially now that he regrets it and feels indebted to you!"

Her tone became agitated, "As long as you're still single, as long as another man appears in your life who can make him give up completely, he will keep pestering you!"

Shen Shuangmiao understood her implication, frowned, and her expression slowly darkened.

Zhou Wu was implying that she needed to find a "shield" and use a new relationship to completely sever Zhu Jin's feelings for her.

"so what?"

Shen Shuangmiao's voice turned colder, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhou Wu looked at her and said, word by word, "Since you've decided to get a divorce, do it cleanly and decisively. Don't give him any hope or illusions. That's the best choice for both of us."

Shen Shuangmiao looked at Zhou Wu with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Miss Zhou."

Shen Shuangmiao's tone was calm.

Whether Zhu Jin gives up or not is his business.

“I have no obligation or responsibility to find someone to play along with in order to make him give up.”

She stood up and looked at Zhou Wu. "I will use my own methods to make him back down and disappear from my life completely, but that doesn't mean I need to follow your arrangements or accept your ridiculous suggestion."

Zhou Wu's expression changed, and he also stood up.

Shen Shuangmiao paused, her gaze sweeping over Zhou Wu's pale and haggard face. "If you really want him back by your side, you'd better have some self-respect instead of coming here to ask me what to do."

Zhou Wu's lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Snowy Frost!"

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she wanted to say something.

In the end, she said nothing, grabbed her bag, and almost staggered out of the living room.

Shen Shuangmiao watched Zhou Wu's disappearing figure without feeling any satisfaction.

Zhou Wu's words were still echoing in my ears.

Although Shen Shuangmiao felt offended and disagreed with her suggestion, she had to admit that it was a solution.

She sat down again, rubbing her throbbing temples, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Just then.

Her phone rang.

Zhao Mobai?

Shen Shuangmiao hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"Hello?"

A lazy male voice with a smile came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Shen, oh no, should I call you Miss Su now?"

"I was only away on a business trip for a few days, and when I came back I heard such shocking news. You've suddenly become the apple of Old Madam Su's eye."

His tone was familiar and teasing, which wasn't annoying.

Shen Shuangmiao smiled helplessly, "President Zhao's information network is still so efficient."

"How about it?" Zhao Mobai extended an invitation. "Would you like to come out for a cup of tea sometime? We can chat about recent events and the future development of your studio?"

Shen Shuangmiao held her phone in silence.

Zhou Wu's words echoed in his ears.

"As long as you are still single, he will keep bothering you."

Shen Shuangmiao was somewhat agitated.

Well, it's good to go out for a walk to clear my head.

Zhao Mobai is a smart and tactful person; chatting with him is at least stress-free.

Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Okay, let's meet tomorrow. Give me the address and time."

After hanging up the phone, she went straight upstairs.

The next day.

Shen Shuangmiao and Zhao Mobai arrived at a quiet teahouse.

Outside the window, the shadows of trees swayed, while inside, the aroma of tea filled the air.

Zhao Mobai didn't press the matter of the Su family or Zhu Jin further, but instead inquired about the future plans and design concepts of Shen Shuangmiao Studio.

Shen Shuangmiao relaxed considerably, and her nerves gradually calmed down.

She was explaining her ideas for the new project when she got up to go to the restroom.

But just as she passed through the elegant corridor, she bumped into the last person she wanted to see at the corner.

May it all be extinguished.

He was standing with several business people, seemingly discussing business.

Zhu Jin's gaze, which had been fixed on the window, suddenly turned as if sensing something.

Their eyes met.

The air seemed to freeze.

While the customers around him were still talking, Zhu Jin was somewhat absent-minded, his gaze constantly following Shen Shuangmiao's figure.

Shen Shuangmiao's heart tightened, and she immediately looked away and quickened her pace toward the restroom.

She wanted to get out of his sight as soon as possible.

However, when she came out of the restroom...

The tall figure was waiting in the corridor, leaning against the wall, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Shen Shuangmiao emerge, Zhu Jin immediately stood up straight and blocked her path.

How did you end up with him?

His voice was low and suppressed.

Shen Shuangmiao didn't want to get entangled with him, nor did she want to explain anything.

Her rebellious streak kicked in, and she looked up, her tone aloof, "A date."

Zhu Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Dating?"

He repeated it, his voice filled with disbelief.

Just then, a soft cough came from the side.

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Zhao Mobai had also walked over at some point and was standing a few steps away, watching them with a leisurely air.

He had obviously overheard the conversation.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shen Shuangmiao's face, as if she had been caught red-handed talking about someone behind their back.

Zhao Mobai smiled, walked forward calmly, and stood naturally next to Shen Shuangmiao.

He looked at Zhu Jin, whose face was pale, and said in a relaxed tone, "President Zhu, what a coincidence. It seems that Miaomiao has already told you. We are indeed in contact and getting to know each other."

He deliberately used this affectionate term, speaking casually as if they were already very close.

Zhu Jin's gaze lingered on Zhao Mobai's face for a second before fixing on Shen Shuangmiao.

He grabbed Shen Shuangmiao's wrist. "No, stay away from him!"

Zhu Jin pulled Shen Shuangmiao closer to him, his voice carrying a hint of domineering, "What is Zhao Mobai? Does he even deserve you?"

Zhao Mobai's expression changed.

Shen Shuangmiao immediately broke free from Zhu Jin's grip.

She raised her eyes and stared directly at Zhu Jin, her gaze icy.

"Then what are you?"

These words were spoken.

Zhu Jin froze on the spot, his anger instantly solidified, as if he had been struck hard by something, a hint of hurt and disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips, knowing that he had never been questioned and belittled like this in his entire life.

Seeing Zhu Jin's sudden blank expression, she felt a strange unease, but she quickly suppressed it.

Zhao Mobai stood to the side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then turned into amusement.
