After Becoming Widowed, I Inherited a Billion-Dollar Fortune

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...

Chapter 160 I Didn't Call Her the Wrong Sister-in-Law

"Young man, I'm so sorry, my old problem of shaky hands has flared up again, please understand." The older woman apologized in a seemingly sincere and reasonable manner.

Zheng Qi was still a college student and didn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts, so he didn't take the old lady's unexpected behavior to heart.

He then showed concern for the older woman: "It's alright, Auntie. My grandma had the same problem as you, and we got her treated and cured her hand tremors. If you'd like, you can leave me your contact information, and I'll find the doctor's number and send it to you."

Su Jin didn't expect Zheng Qi to be so enthusiastic. The old lady thought that the young man had seen through her intentions. Without saying a word, the old lady picked up her heels and slipped away very quickly.

Zheng Qi watched the middle-aged woman's brisk walking steps, completely bewildered: "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong? Why is the woman walking so fast?"

He immediately began to reflect on himself: "They won't think I'm a medical tout, will they?"

"She did it on purpose." Su Jin saw through the old woman's little trick at a glance. Although the old woman's acting skills were superb, the angle at the moment of the collision was very deliberate.

It wasn't an accidental collision; the bottle was deliberately aimed at Zheng Qi.

This small detail revealed the woman's intention.

Su Jin followed the old woman for a while. The old woman looked around as if she was looking for someone, and finally stopped in front of a statue.

A man stands in front of the statue, only his back is visible.

The man gave the woman a wad of cash, and she took the money, laughing heartily as she left.

Su Jin thought to herself: I was right, this old lady did it on purpose, but I didn't expect her to take money from someone else.

After the older woman left, Su Jin took out her camera, intending to take a picture of the man's face and then ask Assistant Wang to investigate.

As soon as the man turned around, she quickly snapped several photos.

The face that suddenly appeared on camera left Su Jin at a loss for words.

She moved the camera away. "Why is it you?"

She thought that Zheng Lin had bribed the old woman to throw water on his cousin, which was a family matter and had nothing to do with her. She shouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs.

So, Su Jin smiled slightly at Zheng Lin, picked up her camera, turned around and left without saying another word.

Since they had been spotted, Zheng Lin didn't hide. He stepped forward and took Su Jin's hand. "It's too late. We haven't caught the person yet. Let's go back together first."

"Young Master Zheng is truly thoughtful."

Su Jin's face clearly showed her displeasure. She said, "You confiscated my ID card and wouldn't let me go back. Why are you still concerned about my safety? Either give me my ID card now and I'll take the ferry to the airport, or just leave me alone."

Zheng Lin: "At five o'clock in the morning, Zheng Guang came to see me, wanting me to help him escape."

"You've seen him, why didn't you call the police? Are you trying to protect him?"

“The old man is getting old, and Zheng Guang is his only biological son. I just hope that he can take Bai Qingchi to turn himself in himself. That way, when he goes to court, he can get a reduced sentence.”

Zheng Lin felt a strong sense of guilt towards Zheng Youguo. As a member of the Zheng family who was neither related to nor related to them, he stood between Zheng Youguo and He Rong, becoming a knot in their hearts for many years.

He also wanted to save Zheng Youguo and He Rong's only son, as the two were old and could not withstand such a blow.

Back then, he thought Zheng Guang would extricate himself, but he never expected that Zheng Guang would hide with Bai Qingchi for two years. Zheng Guang had already ruined himself, and he wanted to pull the lost Zheng Guang out of his predicament.

The two locked eyes, and Su Jin secretly glanced at Zheng Lin's coat. She remembered that he had hidden his ID card in an inner pocket.

To get your ID card back, there's only one way...

Su Jin closed her eyes and fell forward, but Zheng Lin caught her.

Zheng Lin nervously checked her breath with his hand before letting out a sigh of relief. He put his arm around her and shook her gently, saying, "Xiao Jin."

At this moment, Zheng Qi, who had been hiding in the shadows, also came over and bowed very respectfully to his cousin Zheng Lin: "Cousin."

In the Zheng family, both the peers and the younger generation greatly admire Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin was the greatest honor in their eyes. This family honor made them unconsciously cast a golden glow on him every time they saw him.

Of course, relatives from other families are not as devout.

When Zheng Qi saw his cousin, he was incredibly nervous and pursed his lips tightly.

Su Jin secretly reached out her finger and touched the inside of Zheng Lin's coat.

Zheng Lin was still gently patting Su Jin's face, "Wake up."

"Cousin, you should put the person who fainted down first and let her lie flat." Zheng Qi once again showed his helpfulness.

Zheng Lin looked up at the man who kept calling him cousin, "Who are you?"

Zheng Qi was completely unconcerned about his cousin's cold attitude. Instead, he excitedly pointed to himself with two fingers and said, "I am Zheng Qi. When we were little, you praised me for being smart. You said you saw wisdom in my eyes."

Zheng Lin fell silent.

Before she could even grab her ID card, Su Jin heard Zheng Qi's words and tried her best to suppress her laughter, but her hand still trembled and she poked Zheng Lin's hard chest.

It's over. The wisdom in Zheng Qi's eyes has ruined all her efforts!

Su Jin opened her eyes, rubbed her temples, and stood up straight: "What just happened to me?"

Zheng Lin lowered his eyes, glanced at his chest, and reached out to take out Su Jin's ID card.

Zheng Lin's lips curled into a smile: "Is this what you wanted?"

Su Jin's eyes were only on the ID card held out in front of her. She gritted her teeth silently but didn't say anything.

Of course she wanted it, but he wouldn't give it to her.

Zheng Qi also took out his ID card and handed it to Zheng Lin's other hand. He then bowed to Zheng Lin with a cheerful smile and said, "Then I'll give my ID card to my cousin to keep."

Su Jin: "......"

Zheng Lin: "......"

Zheng Lin glanced at the photo on the ID card, which showed the address as the Zheng family's old house, confirming that Zheng Qi was indeed his cousin.

After all these years, you haven't grown wiser, but you have grown stronger.

So the person who always stayed by Su Jin's side was her cousin.

Zheng Lin released his slender fingers.

The ID card was left on the ground.

"Keep your own ID card safe." Zheng Lin adopted the airs of an older brother, completely disregarding the little brat.

Zheng Qi picked up the ID card, his eyes still full of respect as he looked at his cousin: "Cousin, can I stay by your and your wife's side and write a paper about how it's easy to fall in love but difficult to stay together? I promise I won't disturb your life, I just want to live under the same roof as you."

In fact, Zheng Qi was prepared to be rejected. Being rejected by his cousin was commonplace, and their entire family was used to it.

However, under his gaze, his cousin nodded.

No one knew why Zheng Lin had suddenly become so agreeable.

But because of her cousin's thesis, Su Jin is still forced to stay with Zheng Lin tonight.

For a dinner of four, one person is destined to lose their appetite. Who will that person be?

He Ru was full after only a couple of bites, but she couldn't say anything. She could only sit there, wary of Su Jin and Zheng Lin rekindling their old flame.

"Sister-in-law, how did you and my brother fall in love?" Zheng Qi's question drew the attention of the three of them.

Zheng Lin gave him a satisfied look, Su Jin gave him a questioning look, but He Ru gave him a murderous look.

Before Su Jin could speak, He Ru knocked over a plate, and the soup spilled down the table and onto Su Jin's pants.

"It was my carelessness, I'm so sorry," He Ru said apologetically.

Since she had been apologized to, Su Jin couldn't get angry. Coincidentally, she didn't want to answer the question Zheng Qi asked, so this was a perfect opportunity to climb over the wall.

Su Jin turned and went upstairs. Zheng Lin wiped his mouth and went back to his room to rest.

Only Zheng Qi, who was still growing, was left behind.

Zheng Qi ate a lot at this meal. His cousin and sister-in-law went upstairs, but he was still eating.

With both of them absent, He Ru had the perfect opportunity to brainwash Zheng Qi alone.

He Ru put a piece of food into Zheng Qi's bowl with her chopsticks. "Cousin, you're young. I can teach you once. I'm your sister-in-law. Don't mistake me for someone else next time."

With a mouthful of food in his mouth, Zheng Qi smiled at He Ru and asked, "Your name is He Ru?"

"Yes, that's right. This is my full name." He Ru thought it was pretty good that her cousin actually knew her full name; perhaps he had thought Su Jin was He Ru just now.

“That’s right, my sister-in-law’s name is Su Jin.” To show his importance, Zheng Qi put down his chopsticks, placed his hands on his knees, and looked at He Ru seriously. “My parents told me that Su Jin is the Su of Suzhou and the Jin of brocade. It’s not the He of Hebi or the Ru of Ruoguo.”

Upon hearing this, He Ru slammed her hand on the table and glared at him: "You."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, it's okay if you don't acknowledge me. Anyway, Su Jin and your brother are going to get divorced sooner or later, so just wait and see. From now on, I'll be your sister-in-law."

"Where do you get that confidence?" Zheng Qi continued eating. "No one in our family will accept you, so don't waste your time. My parents asked me to pass on a message to you."

He Ru: "What?"

"Instead of wasting time bothering Zheng Lin, you should do something else worthwhile. Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing to show for it," Zheng Qi said to He Ru, mimicking his parents' tone.
