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 221 The Grand Finale (Part 1)

Their lips lingered for a minute before Su Jin pulled away from Zheng Lin's. She whispered in his ear, "From now on, I will take responsibility for you."

Her smile had a slightly mischievous quality, like a little devil dressed in a pristine wedding gown.

Zheng Lin brushed the hair away from her face with his hand. "You stole my scene, shouldn't we do it again?"

Su Jin obediently closed her eyes, pouted slightly, and waited for him to do it again.

She looks charming and adorable.

Zheng Lin's heart skipped a beat. He pinched her chin and kissed her soft lips.

This was the first time the host had ever seen such a sweet and proactive newlywed couple.

Other brides and grooms would reluctantly agree to the emcee's request, blushing as they did so.

As it turned out... Young Master Zheng and Chairman Su were indeed extraordinary.

At the same time, Zheng Qi, sitting in his seat with a bouquet of flowers, bent down and placed it on the ground.

A pair of black high heels came into his view.

"Can I have this flower?" The woman's voice was very sweet and charming, and every word sounded as if it had been carefully crafted.

Most men would be captivated by it.

Zheng Qi found it strange and assumed that He Ru had a sore throat.

"Take it if you like, I don't need it anyway." Zheng Qi picked up his cup and drank his milk.

He Ru sat down next to him, placed the bouquet of flowers on her lap, looked at the flowers, and smiled, "Thank you for accepting our relationship and proposing to me."

Zheng Qi's small eyes were filled with great doubt. He slowly turned his head and looked at He Ru, who had a beaming smile on her face.

"Our feelings? What feelings could we possibly have? I didn't propose to you. Don't overthink it." Zheng Qi moved his chair away from her, feeling a bit scared.

In fact, after He Ru fell from the height, Zheng Qi became He Ru's human cushion. His leg was broken and he was bedridden for a long time.

Zheng Qi still feels lingering fear when he recalls the moment he was hit.

Just thinking about that scene makes my legs ache and my buttocks go numb.

"You saved my life, I must repay you with my body," He Ru said bluntly.

Zheng Qi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He couldn't care less about being a gentleman. Today was the big day of his most respected cousin, and he couldn't leave now. That would be very disrespectful to the wedding.

So, although he didn't answer, he felt extremely uneasy.

In fact, this wasn't the first time He Ru had bothered him, but each time it frightened him more than the last.

Zheng Qi even questioned himself several times, wondering why he hadn't dodged in time. He couldn't bear the title of savior; he didn't want to be entangled with them.

His life had just begun, yet it felt like he had fallen into darkness.

Looking at Zheng Qi's tense profile, He Ru continued, "My godmother has already agreed to let us date. When are you going to take me to meet your parents?"

The two on stage finally ended their long kiss. Zheng Qi looked at the happy atmosphere and then heard He Ru's voice next to him, which sounded like he was demanding repayment. He felt that his situation was very different from his cousin's, one was in heaven and the other was in hell.

Zheng Qi had no choice but to speak up, otherwise He Ru might have unilaterally set the wedding date.

"Miss He, please have some self-respect."

"Why do you call me so formally? Call me Ru'er."

Zheng Qi: "Calm down, I have no intention of crossing any lines with you."

He Ru's eyes were fixed on Zheng Qi, completely ignoring the couple on stage. She deliberately pressed her arm against Zheng Qi and said, "I allow you to have one."

“I don’t want to have it.” Zheng Qi suddenly stood up and switched places with the person next to him.

But He Ru did not give up. She moved over and still stayed close to Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi: "......"

Su Jin witnessed this scene.

The host wanted to do something fancy, but Su Jin just gave up and pulled Zheng Lin off the stage. The two of them deliberately moved closer to the table where Zheng Qi was sitting.

Su Jin whispered, "I didn't expect He Ru to change her mind so quickly. Did she think that she was saved when she fell, and that this was the highlight of her life, and that Zheng Qi was the male lead in her life?"

Zheng Lin looked down at his beautiful bride and echoed, "That's possible."

The two followed their parents to toast everyone. After toasting, Su Jin, dressed in a red dress, lay on the sofa in the dressing room to avoid the limelight.

It's exhausting. Getting married is such a tiring thing. If it weren't for Zheng Lin's importance to it, she wouldn't want to have this wedding at all.

Zheng Lin walked in and saw a woman on the sofa with exquisite makeup looking tired.

"Are you bored? How about I take you back sooner?" Zheng Lin squatted down and rubbed her heels with his hands.

"What will happen to the wedding if we leave?"

"My parents are here; they can handle this small situation."

Zheng Lin helped Su Jin change into slippers, put his arm around her waist, and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.

Su Jin smiled with her eyes closed, "Why are you acting like a little puppy?"

Zheng Lin picked her up in a princess carry, saying, "You've always called me a dog behind my back, and I'm just trying to maintain the persona you've created for me. I can't let that persona collapse."

......

At the wedding, Assistant Gao and Assistant Wang stood together, both glancing down at the group messages. When they looked up again, they both felt awkward and anxious.

"Is this a surprise from Chairman Su and Young Master Zheng?" Assistant Wang slapped his forehead with his phone.

Assistant Gao: "How's your hearing lately?"

Assistant Wang glanced at the table of immediate family members and said, "They're not blind."

As soon as he said it, he realized he had made a mistake and turned to look at his assistant, Gao, beside him. "Oh no, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Let's think together about what to say. This situation is hard to handle."

Unlike Assistant Wang's anxiety, Assistant Gao appeared very calm. After all, Assistant Gao had been tricked by the boss many times, so her ability to adapt to changing situations had improved dramatically, and her mental resilience had also become stronger.

Clearly, Assistant Wang, having worked under Su Jin, faced too few challenges, and suddenly receiving such a sweeping order would leave him feeling confused and helpless.

“If you were deaf, you could easily handle the sounds from all sides later. But unfortunately, our hearing seems to be fine.” Assistant Gao pulled a white Bluetooth headset from his suit pocket.

Holding it between her fingertips, Assistant Gao raised an eyebrow at Assistant Wang with an air of arrogance. "See? Put it on, turn the music up to the maximum, and no matter what the situation, just say what you need to say, then pretend you don't hear anything."

After hearing his words, Assistant Wang felt as if he had gained the equivalent of ten years of education.

Assistant Wang reached out to accept Assistant Gao's offer, but the hand was taken away, circled in the air, and then put into Assistant Gao's own ear.

Assistant Wang: "......"

Feeling someone watching him, Assistant Gao realized what was happening and explained, "Oh, I only brought one pair of headphones."

As he spoke, Assistant Gao took out another earphone and put it into the other ear.

Assistant Wang was speechless.

It was said that the bride and groom had already left the wedding venue, and the couple's four parents all frowned.

Madam Su blamed everything on her daughter, while Zheng Youguo felt that his son had instigated Xiao Jin to leave. The two families, in their pursuit of blame, both felt it was their own child's fault, and suddenly became more and more agitated, eventually arguing.

In the past, Mr. Xu mediated minor disputes between the two families, separating the two elderly couples.

Mr. Xu: "Alright, you're all family now, why are you still so prejudiced against your own child? Their decision shouldn't be biased towards either of them; it's half the fault of both of them. What's there to argue about? You're both getting on in years."

Xu Jingzhi, who was watching the play, sat at the table with his relatives and friends. Hearing his father's words, he shook his head and said to Song Leilei, "My dad is so prejudiced against his own son, yet he criticizes others. He's really not convincing."

When Song Leilei saw He Ru walking past her with a bouquet of flowers, she suddenly snorted coldly, glared at Xu Jingzhi, and then got up and left.

Xu Jingzhi: "......"

"Did I say something wrong?" Xu Jingzhi followed behind.

A week later, Su Jin and Zheng Lin went on their honeymoon.

On the Eastern Star, the two drank wine together and enjoyed the sea breeze.

Su Jin took three intimate photos with Zheng Lin.

Under the sunlight, the two took photos in perfect harmony, and then Su Jin posted the photos in the group chat.

Then he picked up his wine glass, took a picture of himself with his phone, and posted it on Weibo.

Within a second of posting, a flood of comments appeared.

【The Su Family's Little Useless Person】: Where is Little Su Dong? The sea is so beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful.

【Jinling232】: Wife, mwah.

【heartheartheartheartheart-my709】: Ahhhhh, my wife is absolutely gorgeous.

[Su Jin Fan Club Official Weibo]: You are my god!

There were too many comments, and new comments kept coming in. Su Jin replied to a few of them briefly.

After revealing her identity, Su Jin experienced a small loss of fans, but attracted more new fans. After a period of reflection, her career not only did not suffer, but her popularity continued to rise.

"Little Su Dong" is a nickname fans use for Su Jin.

However, these were mainly released by the public relations department of the Zheng Group, which posted a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of Su Jin's filming on the internet to guide the public to see another side of Su Jin and to create an image of Su Jin as serious and hardworking in acting.

Moreover, with the cooperation of Assistant Wang, chat logs with Su Jin would be posted online from time to time, creating the image of Su Jin as a good boss.

Such a woman, born into wealth and privilege, yet humble, kind, and striving for her dreams, almost made Su Jin herself fall in love with her after seeing her actions.

Su Jin hugged Zheng Lin, who was sitting next to her, and rested her head on his chest, watching flocks of seagulls fly over their heads and the distant sunset slowly sink into the sea.

Such a beautiful view, with the person she loves most by her side—this is a happiness she could never have imagined in her past life!

"It's so good to have you," Su Jin said casually.

She smiled and looked at him, her eyes crinkling.

Zheng Lin smiled indulgently at her, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a wealthy woman having tea with a middle-aged man, and a young girl of about twenty years old beside them.

His gaze fell on the noblewoman, his eyes darkening.
