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 173 Going to rescue someone, but falling into the water instead.

Su Jin found this phone call particularly inexplicable.

She put down her phone and continued packing her luggage. "Xiao Wang, does Wang Keyi have any new songs lately?"

After checking, Assistant Wang replied, "No, the new album was just released last month and hasn't even had its premiere yet. In the company's plans, the next new song won't be released so soon; it will be at least a year from now."

Su Jin murmured, "That phone call just now was so strange."

Over there, Zheng Lin picked up a water glass and forcefully splashed it on Wang Keyi's face.

The boss was furious, and Assistant Gao didn't dare to speak. He had never seen the boss so angry before.

At that moment, all the boss's good manners vanished.

Wang Keyi slowly woke up, her mouth still tightly shut, "I won't tell."

Zheng Lin was now convinced that two years ago, Wang Keyi had eloped with Su Jin and had aborted the child.

Zheng Lin raised his hand and directed his assistant Gao behind him, "Throw him into the lake to feed the fish."

Assistant Gao's face turned pale with fright: "Throw him into the lake. That could kill someone, boss. Please calm down. Everything can be discussed."

"Let's throw it into the lake first, then we can talk to it slowly." Zheng Lin looked up at the sun. "It'll also help cool things down."

Assistant Gao was really afraid of making a big fuss. "How about throwing it into the swimming pool?"

Zheng Lin turned his head and looked at him with a cold gaze.

......

Because of the controversy surrounding her marriage, the producer wanted to replace Su Ling, but Su Jin, as an investor, naturally refused to be replaced.

The investors were willing to take all the risks, and Su Jin joined the filming crew as scheduled.

After the filming ended and it got dark, Su Jin and Song Leilei sat in the restaurant they had booked. She called Wang Keyi, but his assistant answered the phone.

If yesterday was a recording of a program, then it seems rather strange that Wang Keyi still can't answer the phone today, even though it's lunchtime.

Su Jin insisted that Wang Keyi answer the phone, but there was silence on the other end.

Su Jin pressed, "Where did he go?"

After some hesitation, the person on the other end said, "I really don't want to lie to you anymore, and I know I can't. I'm Gao Zixin, and the boss isn't here right now. You'd better come quickly and save Wang Keyi, and stop the boss's crazy behavior."

"What happened between Zheng Lin and Wang Keyi?" Su Jin learned the whole story from Assistant Gao and immediately rushed to Zheng's Manor that night.

Assistant Gao led Su Jin to Wang Keyi, who was submerged in the swimming pool.

Wang Keyi was floating on the water, wearing a swimming ring.

Because of soaking for too long, his skin was wrinkled all over and his face was very pale.

Assistant Gao and Su Jin worked together to pull Wang Keyi out of the water and then laid him flat on the ground.

"How long has he been soaking in the water like this?" Su Jin rubbed Wang Keyi's hands to help raise his body temperature.

Assistant Gao: "It's been six or seven hours. I was supposed to throw it in yesterday, but I was really afraid someone would die. Today the boss found out it wasn't thrown into the water, so I... I had no choice. If you have any misunderstandings, it's best to clarify them."

Su Jin couldn't condone Zheng Lin's cruel actions and just wanted to slap him for dragging innocent people into this mess and torturing them like this.

"Please make way."

A simply dressed, ordinary-looking man squatted down, examined Wang Keyi's eyes, and patted Assistant Gao on the shoulder. "It's nothing serious. Luckily, he's young and his body can handle it. Go and get him a hot bath. I'll buy some medicine later, and you can give it to him."

He looked up and suddenly realized that his behavior must have seemed strange to others, so he explained to Su Jin, "I'm Zheng Shao's friend, a doctor. He said he wasn't feeling well today and asked me to come and check on him. I didn't expect someone to fall into the pool here."

Assistant Gao recognized him and said to Su Jin, "His name is Wang Jiache, and he is indeed a friend of our boss. He said it's nothing serious, so it's definitely fine."

Assistant Gao helped Wang Keyi away, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Boss lady, Dr. Wang, please don't mention me to the boss."

Wang Jiache glanced at the woman beside him. The only woman who could be called "boss's wife" by Assistant Gao was Young Master Zheng's woman.

Her skin was like solidified cream, whiter than snow, and every glance from her was beautiful.

Wang Jiache couldn't help but sigh: Only a top-tier beauty like her could be worthy of Young Master Zheng.

"Assistant Gao just said he's not here, so you don't need to wait."

Su Jin thought for a moment and figured that Zheng Lin's friends must all be from the same country, so she said irritably, "He must be having some kind of mental problem today. You should take a closer look at his head and see how he could do something so cruel and hurtful to others."

And his mental state doesn't seem very good either. As his friend, you should pay more attention to his mental health.

This was the first time Wang Jiache had ever met a woman who spoke so directly. He had always thought that women with such stunning beauty should be very elegant.

But... why is he still a bit irritable?

Wang Jiache: "Young Master Zheng's mental state is normal, but I feel that you are a bit agitated."

Excited? Zheng Lin has been abusing Wang Keyi for two days now; it would be strange if she could still treat him calmly.

Moreover, because of this incident, she had to fly from the film crew's hotel back to City A, and then fly there again later. The back-and-forth travel was so troublesome that just thinking about it made her angry.

This should be the time when she's reading the script in her hotel room, but she hasn't even looked at a single page yet, and she has to film early tomorrow morning.

Su Jin tucked her stray hairs behind her ears, took out the script from her bag, and sat down on the recliner to read it.

At that moment, Wang Jiache suddenly felt that she had gained a touch of elegance, but not much.

Because her gaze quickly swept over him, Wang Jiache had no choice but to flee.

Su Jin's return flight was in four hours, so she planned to memorize her lines while waiting for Zheng Lin to return.

Today, she will give him the answer he wants.

Two hours later, Su Jin was so engrossed in memorizing her lines that she paced back and forth by the pool with the script in her hand, completely absorbed in the dialogue.

She didn't see anything else around her.

A few meters away, He Ru stared at Su Jin's figure, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

You, Su Jin, are bothering Zheng Lin again.

I'll teach you a lesson today.

He crouched down and tiptoed toward the edge of the pool.

Su Jin kept her eyes on the words in the script, sometimes closing her eyes to silently read her lines or adjust her emotions, completely unaware that someone was approaching.

Suddenly, I was pushed hard to the side.

She stepped into the water and with a "plop," fell directly into the pool.

The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it's nighttime now, so the pool water is very cold.

But He Ru didn't know that she was still standing by the pool laughing, and when she saw Su Jin splashing around in the water, she laughed even louder.

"Stop pretending, you just love to act. The water's only two meters deep, you could easily swim up," He Ru said sarcastically.
