As Zheng Lin thought about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, thank you for telling me all this. Actually, I just came to help my mom choose a birthday present. You can probably tell that my mom and I have never had a very good relationship. I didn't know what kind of gift she would like, so I brought He Ru with me."

"He Ru is her goddaughter, so she naturally understands her feelings and knows best what she likes."

Hearing this inside story, Madam Su was also very surprised.

He Ru didn't hear what they were saying. After she finished choosing the jewelry, she called out, "Brother Zheng Lin, I've made my selection. Do you want to take a look?"

Zheng Lin nodded to Madam Su, indicating, "I'll go take a look."

Madam Su looked in their direction.

He Ru picked up the diamond necklace she had spent the longest time choosing, put on a smile, and waited for Zheng Lin to praise her choice, saying something like, "You picked it well." But as soon as Zheng Lin came over, he went straight to the shop assistant to swipe his card, showing no interest in the gift she had chosen.

"Wrap up the other jewelry we just picked out as well," Zheng Lin said. "Give it to that young lady."

He took the gift for He Rong and went to talk to Madam Su. He Ru stared at Zheng Lin's figure with resentment in her eyes. He didn't even look at her and just gave her these jewelry pieces.

Although she also liked these material possessions, and every piece of jewelry in this jewelry store was unique and valuable, none of them could compare to winning Zheng Lin's heart.

He Ru took the jewelry Zheng Lin had given her and followed behind him.

In the car, Zheng Lin didn't speak to He Ru at all, focusing only on driving and occasionally answering a few work-related calls.

He could only find things to say himself, sometimes thanking him for the gift, sometimes bringing up current hot news.

No matter what she said, Zheng Lin acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.

After returning to the Zheng family manor, Zheng Lin left He Ru behind and went to Zheng Youguo's study first.

During this time, Zheng Youguo was playing cards in his study when the butler opened the door and invited the second young master in. He then asked Zheng Youguo, "Master, the second young master is back."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Youguo unusually pressed the auto-play button, letting the computer play for him.

Zheng Youguo put down his phone and began preparing his son, "You've come at the right time. Little Jin is back staying, and I can tell from her that... you two..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Lin immediately asked, "When did she move back?"

"Sometimes, the day after you left on a business trip, her mother would bring her back... well, that's not the point. The point is, it's about you two..."

"Dad," Zheng Lin interrupted him again, "we'll talk about it another day."

Zheng Lin seemed to be in a hurry, and turned to leave the study.

Zheng Youguo: "......"

"Why is he in such a hurry?" Zheng Youguo frowned, staring at the closed door with great confusion. Then he picked up his phone, glanced at the Dou Dizhu game that was still being played on the computer, and said, "I'm not even in a hurry to play Dou Dizhu, but he's so eager to play. He didn't even let me say a word."

Upon hearing that Xiao Jin was returning to live with the Zheng family, Zheng Lin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to knock on the door of Su Jin's bedroom.

After being hit by the car during the day, Su Jin had been experiencing back pain. She held her back as she went to open the door.

She was taken aback when she saw Zheng Lin appear at the door.

The next moment, she was embraced in a warm hug.

"I miss you so much," he said.

Su Jin thought he had another episode.

She reached out and hugged him back, wanting to ask him where he had gone and whether he had gone on a date with He Ru.

But she didn't have the courage to ask.

She was simply craving this moment of warmth; reason was troubling her, but she couldn't control her emotions.

His hand accidentally landed on her back, and Su Jin hissed in pain.

Zheng Lin then noticed that Su Jin seemed to be injured.

"What happened to you? Are you hurt? Let me see."

Su Jin: "No need to look, the medicine has already been applied. It should be fine in a few days."

At this moment, He Ru stood at the door of Su Jin's bedroom. She had just watched Zheng Lingge come out of Zheng Youguo's study and then enter Su Jin's room.

How could she possibly give them space alone? She couldn't give them a chance to rekindle their old flame!

Why not raise your hand?

Knock—Knock—

It was Zheng Linlai who opened the door.

He glanced at the room and saw Su Jin lying on the bed.

She gritted her teeth slightly.

Why were they so fast?

“Brother Zheng Lin,” He Ru called out sweetly, hugging Zheng Lin’s arm, and said, “The lights in my room are too dim, and I’m a little scared. Could you come and keep me company? You can leave after I fall asleep.”

Zheng Lin pulled his arm away. "If you're scared, I can have Uncle Wu keep you company and tell you some bedtime stories."

How about: "......"

He Ru's face turned ugly. "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu is getting old. It's not right to let him stay up all night with me."

He Ru's intentions were written all over her face.

How could Zheng Lin not see it?

Zheng Lin said coldly, "Then I can stay up all night with you?"

A man who knows how to say no is very attractive.

But Su Jin didn't understand. Didn't Zheng Lin go out on a date with He Ru today? He hadn't even come back yet and he already made plans with He Ru. It couldn't be fake.

So, is his current refusal merely a ploy to lure me in?

When Su Jin thought about this, she suddenly felt like she was the third wheel between them. If no one was around, she would definitely cry. But she was Su Jin, and she couldn't cry in front of others for the sake of her pride.

Then I noticed that He Ru was wearing a red, tight-fitting short dress. The perfect cut accentuated her voluptuous figure, making her curves even more striking.

He Ru's appearance and figure have certain limitations, but the gaudy clothes she's wearing today actually suit her perfectly, showcasing her strengths.

Su Jin never expected that she would wear this outfit to meet Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin had his back to her, and his suit was very well-tailored. At first glance, the two actually looked quite well-matched.

Su Jin suddenly felt a little discouraged.

She pulled back the covers, lay down on her side, and thought, "Out of sight, out of mind."

As long as she doesn't look or listen, sadness can't catch up with her.

So she tucked her head under the covers, and they spoke softly.

However, you can still hear what they are saying.

The woman's voice was so soft it could melt your heart, and her tone was extremely flattering: "I really like all the jewelry you gave me. Do you think this one is pretty? But there's one necklace I can't wear by myself. Why don't you come to my room and help me put it on? Okay, Brother Zheng Lin?"

Su Jin's heart trembled at that coquettish voice.

She thought the word "greasy" belonged to men, but now she feels that the word "greasy" can transcend gender.
