He Ru became even more jealous because her godmother was showing favor to Su Jin.

He Ru took a step back to advance, sat down next to He Rong, and said, "Godmother, I'm willing to give it a try, just like you said before. I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'll go shopping with you this afternoon."

He Rong's feelings for her goddaughter had been built up over many years, so when she heard He Ru was willing to back down, she naturally made concessions as well, patting her hand and saying, "Good. It's good that you've thought it through."

Su Jin glanced at He Ru; she didn't believe He Ru would give up easily.

Many people have liked Zheng Lin. Even after they got together during their school days, girls would still confess their feelings to Zheng Lin and even use some means to ostracize her behind her back.

Fortunately, she was not easy to bully back then. Anyone who dared to mess with her would only face even harsher retaliation the next day. But coincidentally, every time she finished taking revenge on those girls, Zheng Lin would appear and tell her not to bully people casually.

Zheng Lin has a strong sense of justice and would not allow his girlfriend to be a bully on campus. The two had argued about this several times. The worst argument was when Su Jin dragged a girl in front of Zheng Lin for a confrontation. In the end, Zheng Lin still did not believe her and believed the stranger's words.

Therefore, the level of trust between the two of them is always uncertain.

Moreover, among all those women, He Ru has persisted for a long time. Even after being cruelly treated by being pushed into the swimming pool last time, she still wanted to marry Zheng Lin, which is very much a love-struck person.

How could someone as love-struck as He Ru possibly give up now?

Su Jin could see it, but He Rong couldn't.

After accompanying He Rong shopping in the afternoon, Su Jin went back to her room to rest. Zheng Lin's room next door was empty; she heard he was on a business trip abroad, and no one knew when he would return.

Why don't you stay here too?

Su Jin got up at night to get a drink of water and ran into He Ru, who had been sitting outside all night without sleeping.

Why not gaze at the night view while sipping a glass of red wine?

Su Jin ignored her, gulped down a glass of water, turned and left. The next moment, the cold liquid was splashed at her.

Her pajamas were stained with red liquid.

Su Jin frowned and looked at He Ru.

He Ru's wine glass was empty, and a slight smirk appeared on her lips. Seeing Su Jin looking at her, she slowly walked over and said, "You really have no shame, insisting on going back to the Zheng family."

"You splashed me with red wine and then insulted me with such rudeness." Su Jin glanced at the wine bottle on the table, picked it up, and splashed it directly into He Ru's face.

He Ru was surprised by her retaliation. She wiped her face with her hand, unable to open her eyes, and said, "How dare you splash me!"

“I learned from you. You might not know this, but I have an exceptionally good learning ability. You only taught me once, and I quickly grasped the essence of your technique.” Su Jin took out a few tissues and wiped the red wine off her clothes. “I have to thank you for demonstrating so well. Otherwise, I would never have imagined that I could use such a trick in the middle of the night.”

He Ru wiped the red wine off her eyes, opened her eyes and glared at Su Jin: "I will definitely let Brother Zheng Lin know your vicious face."

"Go and tell him quickly." Su Jin said, "By the way, there's something I have to correct. Zheng Lin and I are not divorced yet. No matter who the other person is in his heart, as long as we're not divorced, you can only be considered a concubine."

She stroked her chin and stared at He Ru, then suddenly shook her head and clicked her tongue: "No, no, you're not even a concubine. He didn't even take you into his household. You're just... one of his crazy suitors. Who's shameless here? Everyone knows the answer."

He Ru: "I don't care what you say, the engagement is a fact."

“It’s a fact that I’m married to him. You two have been engaged for so long. If he really wants to marry you, why doesn’t he divorce me?” Su Jin asked a probing question: “He’s been dragging this out until now. Does he really want to marry you?”

He Ru had thought about this kind of question, but love had numbed her. In her world, she was the protagonist of her love story. She was the female lead. Even though Zheng Lin was cold-blooded and ruthless towards her, throwing her into the pool to torture her, the two of them usually didn't seem to have much interaction.

But He Ru still firmly believes that she is the female lead, while Su Jin is at most the second female lead! The second female lead is just a passerby. No matter how tortuous the process is, even if she and Zheng Lin have no interaction now, they will definitely fall in love in the future!

"When Zheng Lin comes back, I'll make him divorce you." He Ru stormed back to her room.

Su Jin took a shower and changed out of her pajamas, which were covered in red wine. For the next few days, He Ru would go on blind dates with He Rong during the day, but would start to feel depressed in the living room at night. However, Su Jin had to drink a glass of water every night to fall asleep, so the two of them would have a big fight every night.

Every day, He Ru would come up with new ways to provoke Su Jin.

He Ru splashed whatever she had in her hand. Su Jin even planned to wear a raincoat next time to pour water. Actually, she didn't necessarily have to pour this cup of water; she just didn't want to avoid He Ru's provocation.

So, before going to get some water that evening, Su Jin told Song Leilei about it.

"Why hasn't Young Master Zheng come back yet? I think if you two continue like this, you'll develop unnecessary feelings for each other," Song Leilei complained.

Su Jin put the phone to her ear, holding the glass of water in her other hand, "Me, with He Ru? You really should read less of those nonsensical novels, and don't create couples that shouldn't be created."

"Then you should just go to sleep. If you go again, I'm worried she'll throw sulfuric acid at you today."

“She wouldn’t dare. But…” Su Jin remembered something and wondered whether she should tell Song Leilei.

Because He Ru has been going on blind dates recently, He Rong would also talk about the blind date partners she was introduced to at the dinner table, one of whom was Xu Jingzhi.

"Leilei, before I hang up, I want to ask you, what kind of feelings do you have for Xu Jingzhi?" This is related to whether or not she should tell her that Xu Jingzhi is on the blind date list.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. "I like him a little, but I haven't seen him in a long time, and he hasn't come to see me either."

Song Leilei's voice sounded somewhat dejected.

"Then I think I have to tell you that He Rong is considering Xu Jingzhi among He Ru's blind dates this time. If you really like him, you should give him a hint. Otherwise, if He Ru takes a liking to Xu Jingzhi and they hit it off, you'll be the only one left who's sad."

Upon hearing this news, Song Leilei's heart skipped a beat. Xu Jingzhi had recently disappeared; had he already given up on her?

She wasn't oblivious to all the enthusiasm and hints he gave her a while ago; she was just too shy to figure it out.

They've been best friends for over twenty years. Couldn't he give her more time to think things through? Did he give up on her so soon?

Thinking about this, her nose tingled with emotion.

I thought it was some rare and wonderful match, but I ended up becoming someone else's blind date.
