The two who had been playfully fighting also looked at the newcomer.

When Xu Jingzhi saw that Zheng Shao had arrived, he was both surprised and delighted, and stood up to greet Zheng Lin.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Leilei pinched his waist, causing Xu Jingzhi to scream in pain.

I wasn't disturbed just now because I was so engrossed in the music.

Seeing the two of them acting like three-year-olds, Wang Keyi quickly separated himself from them and chose a spot with his back to the window.

After sitting down again, Wang Keyi glanced at Zheng Lin, his eyes filled with wariness.

The next moment, Su Jin also walked in.

Su Jin sat next to Song Leilei, with an empty seat between her and Zheng Linzhi.

Zheng Lin and Wang Keyi both had their eyes on the empty seat. They were of one mind and wanted to sit there to be closer to Su Jin.

So, in the blink of an eye, just as Zheng Lin's hand touched the back of the chair, Wang Keyi quickly walked around halfway and plopped down next to Su Jin.

Wang Keyi leaned back, pressing down on Zheng Lin's four fingers.

Zheng Lin forcefully pulled his hand away, cracking his knuckles, thinking to himself: This kid did it on purpose.

This reminded him of what the doctor had said.

It was Wang Keyi who forcibly took Su Jin away and deliberately concealed the truth.

Because he was unaware of the truth, he and Xiao Jin missed two more years of each other's time.

That Wang Keyi is utterly despicable.

"Sister Su Jin, how's filming going? Are you getting used to it?" Wang Keyi smiled brightly, revealing her little tiger teeth.

Su Jin smiled faintly: "I'm already in character, but it's a pity the director suddenly fell ill again. I even went to the hospital to see him today."

Wang Keyi: "If I had known, I would have gone with you to visit the director. I also want to try to get the OST for this film."

Su Jin gave a cheering gesture, "Then keep it up. You can definitely do it. I saw your potential at first glance back then, and you will definitely get better and better in the future."

"I knew Sister Su Jin always trusted me." Wang Keyi excitedly moved closer to Su Jin.

Seeing that he was like a clingy, mangy dog, Zheng Lin took the menu, got up, and walked over to the two of them. He bent down slightly, using the menu to separate Wang Keyi, and asked Su Jin, "What would you like to eat?"

The menu was very close, directly in front of Su Jin.

Zheng Lin was close by, and Su Jin could smell the fragrance coming from him.

Su Jin casually ordered a few dishes, "That's all, let them order."

Turning her head to the right, Su Jin saw Zheng Lin's serious profile and was suddenly stunned.

No matter how many times you look at this face, it's always captivating.

She closed her eyes briefly, mentally berating herself: "Control yourself! Don't let beauty blind you. I made the same mistake when I was in school, and I made it again two years ago. I can't let beauty sway me now!"

An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly arose between the two, which Zheng Lin also sensed.

He turned his head, his lips deliberately brushing against Su Jin's face, further intensifying the ambiguous atmosphere.

Although Wang Keyi, who was closest to them, couldn't see their faces, he ripped off the menu. Seeing them staring at each other, Wang Keyi took a deep breath and said, "The waiter will be here soon. Young Master Zheng, there's no need to be in such a hurry to act as the waiter yourself."

Song Leilei sensed the intense tension; today's meal was destined to be filled with gunpowder and flying bullets.

Zheng Linzhen regretted not poisoning Wang Keyi to make him mute, which would have given him a chance to speak.

Halfway through the meal, Song Leilei and Xu Jingzhi made an excuse to leave.

Winter has arrived, and the night wind is strong.

Xu Jingzhi thought that strolling down the street with Song Leilei would be a very romantic thing.

Song Leilei wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel the whole way, but she couldn't see a single empty taxi.

Xu Jingzhi cautiously asked, "Have you ever considered that what I told you that day might be true?"

"Which day? What happened?" Song Leilei asked, her hands in her pockets, feeling quite annoyed.

She was preoccupied with the issue of the penalty for breach of contract.

Fifty million! That's no small sum. Even if you sold her for human experimentation, you wouldn't get that much money!

Xu Jingzhi: "It's just..."

"Xu Jingzhi." Song Leilei stopped and suddenly called out to him very solemnly.

Xu Jingzhi thought she remembered.

But Song Leilei looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Xu Jingzhi immediately recognized the slightly troubled and helpless expression on the man's face—it was a sign that he wanted to borrow money from him.

Having grown up together, he could quickly interpret Song Leilei's every glance and expression.

Xu Jingzhi readily agreed, "How much do you want to borrow? Just tell me."

“Well…” Song Leilei frowned, then thought for a moment and exclaimed, “I didn’t mean to borrow money from you.”

"Impossible. That expression you just made was definitely one of wanting to borrow money. I couldn't possibly be wrong." Xu Jingzhi was very confident in his interpretation.

"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow? Thirty thousand, forty thousand, or fifty thousand?"

Song Leilei remained silent, stepping on the ground with her toes as if she were stomping on a cigarette butt.

Xu Jingzhi realized once again that this time the amount was enormous.

He asked worriedly, "Are you in big trouble? Tell me, and I'll try my best to help you sort it out."

A hint of melancholy flickered in Song Leilei's eyes. "I'm terminating my contract."

“That’s a good thing.” Xu Jingzhi remembered that Gao Wei had been exploiting Song Leilei. “I understand. After terminating the contract, I want to buy some new clothes and start a new life.”

“No.” Song Leilei was a little unhappy with Xu Jingzhi’s wild guess. “In your eyes, all I do is buy clothes and eat, right?”

"What else would she do?" Xu Jingzhi was also puzzled. Song Leilei's daily life was either like a greedy hamster, or a peacock, or a simple little white rabbit.

So what else will she do?

Xu Jingzhi thought of something, "You'll hit me again." He was as agitated as an angry gorilla.

Song Leilei originally didn't want to hit him, but when she heard him slander her like that, she raised her foot to kick him.

Knowing all her procedures, Xu Jingzhi didn't even think, but her body instinctively dodged, successfully avoiding the kick.

Song Leilei slipped and fell forward, but Xu Jingzhi quickly reached out to catch her.

After regaining her footing, Song Leilei burst into tears, her loud cries attracting the attention of passersby.

Xu Jingzhi: "......"

"I want to pay 50 million in breach of contract damages. I, I, I, I..." Song Leilei cried so hard she couldn't catch her breath.

Xu Jingzhi patted her back, "Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..."

After taking a few breaths, Song Leilei's emotions calmed down considerably.

Song Leilei: "I can't pay it. My life is over. There's no way I can turn things around."

“Say that number again.”

Song Leilei looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Fifty, fifty million."

Xu Jingzhi continued to guide her, saying, "Try asking me if I can lend you money."

“Even if I didn’t ask, you wouldn’t have that much money.” Song Leilei suddenly felt sorry for Uncle Xu. “With all the money your family has, Uncle Xu still needs to save it for his retirement. He doesn’t need to sell everything he owns for me. Anyway, he can’t raise much money. I’ll find a secluded place later and jump into the lake.”
