Xu Jingzhi couldn't bear to hear her so discouraging words and even wanted to jump into the lake.

He was older than Song Leilei, and upon hearing such negative comments, he only wanted to scold her.

“If you jump into the lake, what will your parents do? Have you thought about that? No matter what difficulties you face, you can’t give up on your life. Besides, this problem isn’t unsolvable.”

Song Leilei pouted and said in a tearful voice, "I just said it casually, I didn't really mean to jump into the lake."

"You scared me to death." Xu Jingzhi took a deep breath. "Don't say things like that in the future. I'll give you the money, fifty million. It's not a small amount, but I can afford it."

Song Leilei had seen Xu Jingzhi put on airs quite a bit, so she just took his boasting as an attempt to show off.

Song Leilei nodded, "Okay, then transfer 50 million to my account tomorrow."

Xu Jingzhi: "Tomorrow? Tomorrow won't work."

She knew it. Song Leilei wiped away her tears.

"I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow. I need to go back and ask my dad for the money."

Upon hearing that Uncle Xu was involved, Song Leilei grabbed Xu Jingzhi's arm and said, "Are you trying to force Uncle Xu to his death? If you can't come up with the money, then you can't. Anyway, how many normal families can afford a sum of fifty million? If you try to force Uncle Xu, we'll break off all ties."

"Hey, I've really realized that you're the one who truly cares for my dad. Even I, his son, don't care about him as much as you do." Xu Jingzhi crossed his arms and shook his head helplessly.

“You still don’t know my family’s financial situation. Fifty million is just a drop in the ocean for my dad. Even if you pluck a hair from him, it’s nothing. The hair will grow back in a few days.”

Song Leilei blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "You're telling a very new joke."

“You’ll know when I take you home the day after tomorrow,” Xu Jingzhi said.

Song Leilei was initially very sad, but after hearing Xu Jingzhi's words, she secretly felt a little fortunate. At least she had a childhood friend by her side, even though his words were just empty promises and couldn't solve her problems...

It was truly remarkable that he managed to find a way to cheer her up at that moment.

Thinking about it this way, Song Leilei suddenly burst into laughter twice, making passersby look at her again.

Xu Jingzhi: "......"

That's it, he's gone mad. Xu Jingzhi had heard that people are prone to going insane when they are driven to the brink of despair.

Xu Jingzhi couldn't think of any other way to comfort her, so he grabbed Song Leilei's wrist, pulled her into his arms, patted her back, and treated her like a kindergarten child.

Just moments ago, Song Leilei felt touched by her childhood friend's good intentions, but upon receiving the hug, her expression instantly changed, and she said sternly, "You're taking advantage of me."

"Heaven and earth can bear witness, I just hugged you to comfort you." Xu Jingzhi really didn't think too much about it. He pressed his hand on Song Leilei's head and said, "Will you still act after the contract is terminated?"

“I’m not going to act anymore. I might as well find any job or marry a rich and handsome guy.” Song Leilei said, “Actually, my mom has found a few men for me. Their families are quite good, but none of them should be able to come up with 50 million.”

Xu Jingzhi realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute." Xu Jingzhi pondered her words for a moment. "You're thinking of marrying just anyone because of a 50 million yuan penalty for breach of contract? Did I hear you right? You're being ridiculous, you know?"

Song Leilei was slightly startled by his sudden outburst of anger and stared at him with wide eyes.

After a long while, Song Leilei looked at the ground and said, "I just wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Anyway, I'm single. If I happen to meet my soulmate and he happens to be able to come up with 50 million, then everyone will be happy."

She easily convinced herself, but she couldn't convince others.

Especially someone like Xu Jingzhi who can see right through her.

“I can afford it, so you can just marry me. How about it?” Xu Jingzhi suddenly had the idea of ​​taking advantage of her vulnerability.

But rather than letting Song Leilei marry just anyone, he'd rather she marry him. He couldn't possibly mistreat her.

Song Leilei narrowed her eyes, thinking he was daydreaming. If he could come up with that much money, he must be the president of a listed company.

However, he was nothing.

Over there at the dinner table, Su Jin watched Song Leilei leave with Xu Jingzhi and couldn't sit still any longer.

He even sent a message to Song Leilei, saying that she was disloyal.

This dinner party was supposed to have a harmonious beginning and a harmonious end, but Zheng Lin was the only variable, and one more person ruined the entire harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

At this moment, Wang Keyi, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his glass, a hint of provocation in his eyes, and said to Zheng Lin, "I'd like to toast you, wishing you and your new fiancée a long and happy marriage. I'll take good care of Sister Su Jin from now on."

Zheng Lin sneered, "Looks like you're still dreaming. Su Jin is my legal wife. It's none of your business to take care of her. If you really want to take care of someone, you can come to my house as a maid. I'll give you the highest salary."

Wang Keyi: "......"

Su Jin: "......"

The phrase "legal wife" is truly nauseating.

"That's enough. All night long, you either don't say a word or you start arguing with each other."

Su Jin felt a headache coming on and looked at Wang Keyi with a cold face: "How old are you this year? You're not young anymore. Why are you talking to Young Master Zheng? You're not in the same age group. You should talk less and eat more."

Zheng Lin felt that he was being disliked.

Su Jin turned her face away. Zheng Lin thought she would say something to him, but she didn't say anything.

Zheng Lin clenched his index finger knuckles in anger.

Seeing Zheng Shao being bullied, Wang Keyi secretly felt smug, and accidentally choked on his own saliva while laughing: "Cough cough."

Su Jin looked down at the electronic version of the script.

A sharp female voice rang out: "Su Jin!"

"It really is you."

Su Jin turned around and saw that it was Zhao's mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She looked a little haggard.

She had always been given a hard time when she met Zhao's mother, and she thought this time would be no exception.

However, Zhao's mother was gentle and took Su Jin's hand, saying, "It's so good to meet you here. Do you still hold a grudge against our Zhao family?"

Su Jin wanted to answer yes.

After all, during the years she was married into the Zhao family, they never treated her well.

Those humiliations are hard to forget.

Before she could answer, Zhao's mother suddenly knelt down.

Su Jin was so frightened that she stood up immediately and stood far away, afraid that she would be extorted.

"What do you want to do?" Su Jin was a little flustered. This was the first time she had encountered someone kneeling down right away. Zhao's mother had come up with a novel tactic to deal with her.

She pointed at Zhao's mother and said, "Don't try that on me. I didn't do anything to you."

Zhao's mother cried out, "Please, save my son-in-law. My daughter is raising her child alone now, it's really not easy for her. If Zheng Guang goes to jail, how will she live in the future? I know that our family has treated you very badly all these years, it was all my fault."
