To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.
After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...
As Su Jin ran her fingers over the medical record, she couldn't help but think of the unborn baby. If the baby had been born safely back then, it would be a year old now.
Unfortunately, she arrived at the wrong time and was unable to save her child.
Su Jin pressed the medical record against her abdomen, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
......
Zheng Family Manor.
In the middle of the night, Zheng Youguo sat on the sofa watching a TV series, "Floating World, Gentle Breeze, Dream".
Seeing the scene of the male and female leads coughing up blood, he pulled out a tissue and cried uncontrollably.
The butler quietly handed him a note: "Master, it's getting late. Madam is home today."
Reminded of this, Zheng Youguo instantly snapped out of his reverie and looked up at the butler: "Don't mention her."
The butler then realized that there wasn't a single tear on the master's face; he was faking it.
"Then please continue reading."
"I'm not watching anymore. It's making me feel terrible. Xiao Jin is back, but she didn't even come to see me at the manor. It's all that wretched boy's fault!" Zheng Youguo pointed at the clock on the wall and said angrily, "He was properly engaged to He Ru, and then he messed things up! How could he get engaged? He was only encouraged by his mother. He and Xiao Jin are still husband and wife. They've registered their marriage and have the approval of both our parents. So what is He Ru?"
He held his left and right palms up, slapping his left hand twice with the back of his right. "If they get married, that's bigamy. It's right that Xiao Jin didn't come. If I were her, I'd also feel like the Zheng family is kicking me out!!!"
This wasn't the first time the master had spoken out for Su Jin, but he had always done so behind the mistress's back, only expressing such indignation then. It seemed he had been holding back a great deal of resentment.
Butler: "I think the second young master won't really marry Miss He Ru."
"What do you know? Tell me quickly," Zheng Youguo asked with a gossipy look on his face.
"The second young master has been in a very negative state these past two years. He waited for the second young mistress for two years, and then he got engaged to Miss He Ru. It must be because..." The butler hesitated to finish his sentence, wanting to keep the conversation in suspense.
Zheng Youguo craned his neck to listen, "What is it?"
"It's just a little trick between lovers. The engagement was partly to spite the second young mistress, because the second young master was uncertain and didn't know why the second young mistress disappeared on the wedding day. He had too many questions and felt insecure. It's just that the second young master went too far, and I'm afraid it will backfire, making his road to winning her back even longer."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense," Zheng Youguo said worriedly. "Zheng Lin isn't young anymore. He should ask questions face-to-face. Why is he still the same as when he was in school, saying one thing and meaning another? Back then, when his girlfriend broke up with him, he immediately agreed without even trying to win her back."
The butler kindly told the master a fact, "Actually... it seems that the second young master's girlfriend back then was the second young mistress."
Zheng Youguo clenched his fist and smacked his forehead. "...Yeah, I almost forgot, hahaha. Then there's nothing to worry about. This kid has always been defeated by the same person. I think he can handle it himself. Time to sleep."
Zheng Youguo couldn't stop smiling.
The butler also smiled like an uncle.
......
Zheng Lin rested all night and went to the police station to report the case early in the morning without having breakfast.
He sat in the police station and drew a rough sketch of the suspect's appearance at the scene.
He studied law in college, but he had once joined an art club and learned some painting skills. He was quite adept at depicting simple human faces.
So, with a few casual strokes of the pen, the man's ordinary appearance leaps off the paper.
Zheng Lin looked at the figure he had drawn, not entirely satisfied, but it was about 80-90% similar, so it shouldn't be difficult for the police to arrest him.
The painting was used to investigate suspects.
Having gotten up too early and gone to bed very late the night before, Zheng Lin was not in a good mental state, so he could only sit in a chair, lower his head and close his eyes to rest.
He sat for a while, when suddenly he heard a voice ask him, "What do you remember? Tell me the truth."
Zheng Lin didn't open his eyes, but just tilted his head up and twisted his neck, saying lazily, "He was wearing a white baseball cap, a red and black plaid shirt, black capri pants, and yellow slippers."
It was described in great detail.
The visitor wrote down everything he said.
“Also,” Zheng Lin opened his eyes, leaned forward, and clasped his hands together, “the suspect is a fan of Su Ling.”
"Alright, Young Master Zheng, I will thoroughly investigate everything you've said." There was a hint of respect in the other person's tone.
Zheng Lin recognized the policeman who came in as Xu Jingzhi.
Zheng Lin crossed his arms. "Can we find someone else? I don't trust your professional abilities."
Xu Jingzhi said urgently, "No, I haven't been in the bureau long. You just described it in such detail, you almost mentioned the suspect's name. It would be a free achievement for anyone to get such a good job."
Xu Jingzhi was dressed in a police uniform. His usual carefree attitude seemed much more reliable under the restraint of the uniform.
Zheng Lin found Xu Jingzhi's attire completely unappealing. However, he had no idea why Xu Jingzhi had joined the police force.
"Then I'll give you the time to arrest the suspect today." Zheng Lin's tone was exactly like Xu Jingzhi's boss.
For the past two weeks, Xu Jingzhi has been reprimanded by his superiors every day for his misconduct and disobedience, and has become a negative example in the police station.
He thought that if things continued like this, he would soon be forced to quit.
He got this job by passing the written exam.
It took him a lot of effort to pass the exam, since he wasn't cut out for it. He took it three times before finally passing.
"No need for today, I'll definitely bring them over within three hours." With that, Xu Jingzhi dashed out like the wind.
In order to save time, he made a boast about having three hours, and he wants to work hard to deliver on that promise.
Before even leaving the police station, Xu Jingzhi's running pace nearly knocked over a passing colleague, and then he dashed into the chief's office.
Colleagues: "..."
"Xiao Xu's work enthusiasm is too high."
"That's how it is for newcomers."
On the street, Su Jin and Song Leilei were rushing to the police station.
The car is out of gas, and we're waiting for Assistant Wang to go fill it up.
Su Jin drove a car with plenty of gas out of the garage; she checked it carefully this time and it was full.
Su Jin gripped the steering wheel, moving forward at the same snail's pace as always.
She hadn't driven for two years, and her already poor driving skills became even more rusty.
Song Leilei sat next to her, not minding that she drove slowly. Although slow, she drove very steadily, so steadily that Song Leilei did her makeup the whole way.
Song Leilei pointed her little finger and brushed her eyelashes in front of the rearview mirror.
"Xiao Jin, don't rush, drive slowly."
"Of all the people who ride in my car, you're the only one who's not in a hurry."
“I wasn’t driving that fast. We’re not experienced drivers, so safety comes first.” When the word “driver” came up, Song Leilei suddenly thought of her personal driver, Xu Jingzhi, whom she hadn’t seen for a while.
