Song Leilei's face was squeezed out of shape, but a bright smile appeared on her face in Xu Jingzhi's hands, and her eyes became bright: "Are you serious? Then I don't have to pay back the money?"

Xu Jingzhi paused for a second, then nodded slightly, "Yes, no need to return it."

Song Leilei laughed even more blatantly: "Are you trying to say that not only do you not have to pay back the money, but all your money will be mine in the future, and you can spend as much as you want?"

Xu Jingzhi nodded vigorously, lowered his hands, and stared blankly into her eyes.

As a result, Song Leilei's face suddenly turned cold. She stood on tiptoe and pinched his face tightly with her hands, saying, "Do you think I'm stupid? Is it funny to joke with me? We've known each other since we were little. I know exactly what bad ideas you're having."

Xu Jingzhi's heart, which had been pounding wildly, instantly calmed down.

I thought Song Leilei would understand.

But she seemed to understand nothing.

It's to the point where even direct communication is impossible.

"I'm telling the truth," Xu Jingzhi persisted.

"Are you really kidding me?" Song Leilei jumped up and pressed her arm against Xu Jingzhi's shoulder. "If you say that again, I'll tell Uncle Xu. I'll make sure your old wounds heal and you get new ones too."

Her small stature and light weight made Xu Jingzhi feel no pressure at all when facing her presence. Instead, he felt as if a kitten was perched on his shoulder, giving him a faint sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Xu Jingzhi turned his head to the side, sighed inwardly, and thought to himself: Oh well, there's no rushing this.

......

After waiting for three hours, Su Jin opened her front door and received the news of He Ru's failure.

He Ru was unable to enter the room where Su Jin had stayed because Zheng Lin forbade it, and even the maids would stop her if they saw her.

Su Jin was speechless after hearing this.

Is she afraid her treasure will be stolen from her room? And she won't let anyone in.

Su Jin: "Try it again."

Standing outside the gate, He Ru held a sun hat in her hand and said with a contemptuous look in her eyes, "I'm not going to try anymore. I came here to tell you that I've already done this favor, and although the result wasn't good, you still have to keep your promise. Otherwise, the recording might end up in some kind of situation, and it might be exposed to the media, and the fact that you're married will be made public."

"Why bother? Why end up hurting each other?" Su Jin was afraid of this woman, but the more panicked she showed, the more she would be manipulated. She calmly said, "If you insist on releasing the recording, I have no choice but to release it."

If it's made public, she might be able to play the victim and boost her popularity.

These days, public opinion can easily sway to one side with just a few well-known influencers.

The key point is that she also has a powerful public relations department to strategize and handle everything, so she is not worried about a small recording at all.

"Would you like to come in and sit down? If not, I won't keep you here." Su Jin smiled insincerely, her eyes narrowed.

"You don't believe I'll send it, do you?" He Ru looked down at her phone, tapped send, and then showed it to Su Jin. "Look, it's been sent. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. This matter has been brewing overnight. I'll be waiting to see how you explain it tomorrow."

On the screen was He Ru's chat box with the paparazzi; the recording had been sent directly to them.

Su Jin smiled for a second, then slammed the door shut and turned to call Assistant Wang: "Xiao Wang, notify the public relations department to work overtime tonight."

Assistant Wang: "Okay, Chairman Su. What emergency has occurred?"

Su Jin paced back and forth, holding her phone: "It's just... the fact that I'm married can't be kept secret anymore."

"I think the best solution now is to admit the truth and that being married is not shameful."

“I’m getting a divorce. If I admit to being married now, and then suddenly get a divorce, what will everyone think? I’m also in a dilemma. Right now, it’s better to continue denying it and keeping it a secret.” Su Jin quickly interrupted the other person, “Go quickly.”

On the other side, the Zheng family manor.

When Assistant Gao saw the breaking news that popped up, he bent down and whispered something to Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin looked at the fish swimming around in the aquarium and said, "Then let's do the opposite of Su Jin's PR team. Tomorrow morning, I want to see the winds blowing in favor of the married option."

"Okay, boss." Assistant Gao didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Zheng Lin had been secretly planting people to monitor Su Jin's every move. He knew everything, even the small things like Su Jin picking up He Ru and their conversation.

So today he deliberately used He Ru to prevent her from entering that room, forcing her to go to Su Jin again and reveal the voice message, which was the final result Zheng Lin wanted.

The reason is simple: this means the divorce will have to be postponed once again.

Once her marital status is exposed, Su Jin will have no choice but to behave herself in his presence for the time being in order to maintain her public image in the industry, and she may even have to ask him for favors.

After Assistant Gao finished handling the matter, he reappeared in Zheng Lin's sight.

"Boss, everything's done."

"good."

Zheng Lin casually tossed a handful of fish food into the fish tank. "Did they monitor the reason why Su Jin ran away from her wedding back then?"

Assistant Gao: "No. She doesn't say a word about who she's with. Maybe it will take some more time."

Zheng Lin: "Has she been in contact with Wang Keyi recently?"

Assistant Gao: "Not at the moment, but I found out that she took the same flight as Wang Keyi on the day she returned to China. I always feel that Wang Keyi knows a lot of things."

"Tie him up and bring him here."

Assistant Gao was a little panicked: "Tie me up? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Zheng Lin: "He was eyeing my wife covetously and didn't reason with her much."

Zheng Lin glanced at the comments on the trending topic. Most people were curious about who the man Su Jin was marrying was. He beckoned to his assistant Gao: "Post my wedding photos with Su Jin."

......

Su Jin was unaware that Zheng Lin was also manipulating things behind the scenes. She was still hugging her pillow, wondering why the wind wasn't blowing the way she had planned.

"What happened?" Su Jin stared at her phone with a worried expression. "Who posted the message? Wedding photos...?"

It was already eleven o'clock. She went to the public relations department, where everyone was sitting with worried expressions.

Upon seeing Chairman Su's personal arrival, the public relations elites began to demonstrate their sincerity in their work to him.

"Why not send a lawyer's letter to that paparazzi?"

"I think it would be better to find a sucker to admit that they maliciously photoshopped the wedding photo, and then we can send that sucker a lawyer's letter to clear their name."

"Good idea."

"No, no, haven't you noticed? It seems like someone is deliberately trying to shift the narrative and oppose us. Even if you say it's photoshopped, they'll have their next move."

"Then what should we do? Get Chairman Su to admit it directly?"

"Good idea."

The department office became noisy as several people spoke at once.
