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...
Uncle Wu had watched the younger generation of the Zheng family grow up since he was a child, and he always had a good eye for people. Looking at Miss Su's face, he felt that she was a very fortunate person.
The reception room is reached by passing through a long corridor.
Even when we were still some distance away, we could hear laughter and conversation coming from the reception room.
Once inside the hall, Su Jin was completely dumbfounded.
The biological parents she mentioned, who lived in another city, were sitting inside, having a long conversation with a middle-aged man.
Most importantly, the two red household registration books on the table are very eye-catching.
Su Jin stood there stunned, instantly feeling the pain on her face, as if she could hear the crisp, loud sound of a slap coming from it.
"Oh, Xiao Jin is here. Come, come, we've already discussed it, we'll get married in six months, you two can get your marriage certificate now."
Mrs. Su and her family were picked up by the Zheng family's private jet. They had been taken care of by people all along, and just now they chatted with their in-laws for a few minutes.
You know, you couldn't find a better in-law family than the Zheng Group, even with a lantern.
When Madam Su first heard that it was Zheng Shi, she felt that she was marrying above her station. However, the in-laws kept praising her, making it difficult for the couple to refuse.
Su Jin glanced at Zheng Lin, who returned her gaze and shook his head.
"Girl, sit down." Zheng Youguo sat down at the desk, looking at his daughter-in-law with increasing satisfaction. "She's really good."
Mrs. Su: "Thank you, Chairman Zheng, for liking my daughter. You may make all the arrangements."
"Okay, then let's get engaged as soon as possible." Zheng Youguo grinned from ear to ear, took Su Jin and Zheng Lin's hands and put them together, "You two pick a date and go get your marriage certificate first."
Su Jin: "I..."
Zheng Youguo: "Girl, don't worry. If he dares to bully you after we get married, I'll break his legs!"
Su Jin: "......"
The meeting between the two families was too sudden, and everything was orchestrated by Zheng Youguo. Zheng Lin didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Even so, the Su family still had a very good impression of Zheng Lin. It seemed that he only needed to tell others that his name was Zheng Lin, and their impression of him would naturally improve.
Who doesn't know the second young master of the Zheng family?
Both Mrs. Su and Chairman Su were brought down and moved into the guest rooms.
Before they all went back to their rooms to rest, Madam Su couldn't help but glance at her new son-in-law again and stare at her daughter with her eyes.
That look seemed to say: If you don't marry Zheng Lin properly, we'll sever our mother-daughter relationship.
Su Jin: "......" No, no, it's not that bad.
Su Jin's room was next to Zheng Lin's. The housekeeper had already furnished the room for her, and everything was brand new and complete.
"Miss Su, please feel free to call me if you need anything."
Su Jin nodded and smiled, "Please take care of me in the future."
As they walked inside, Uncle Wu told her a lot about things she should be careful about at the Zheng family's house. Su Jin listened, confused, and shook her head: "It's so complicated. Do I have to follow all these rules?"
“That’s not necessarily true,” Uncle Wu said with a kind yet mysterious smile. “As far as I know, the rules can be relaxed in special circumstances.”
Su Jin: "For example?"
"For example, the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, or pregnant women."
Su Jin: "......"
The butler left on his own.
Just as Zheng Lin was about to enter the study, Su Jin approached him angrily and followed him into the room.
During her high school years, Su Jin was young and impetuous. Whenever she saw a handsome boy, she would pursue him. She had countless ex-boyfriends, one of whom was Zheng Lin.
Even if you manage to win a man's heart, you'll only hold his hand briefly; there's no deeper development in the relationship.
Originally, I felt a little guilty towards Zheng Lin because I had toyed with his feelings back then.
But today, the Zheng family suddenly forced her into this situation, which angered her, and her short temper came out.
The study door closed, and Su Jin vented all her dissatisfaction, questioning him: "Why are my parents here? Didn't we agree that it would just be the two of us getting married quietly?"
"You're getting married secretly, Su Jin. Please understand this: our Zheng family is not like your ex-husband's family, who can simply set up a simple ceremony and do it hastily. I can't let the whole world laugh at our Zheng family."
Zheng Lin sneered, "I thought you'd know more about wedding procedures than I would since you've been married before. How can a wedding be complete without both sets of parents? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd never been married before."
Su Jin didn't know why Zheng Lin's mouth was so venomous.
In just ten years, he has transformed from a dashing young man into a sharp-tongued one!
Zheng Lin walked past her, sat on the balcony, opened his laptop, and browsed documents, multitasking as he said, "I advise you not to try anything funny again, or you'll never get that money. The billions in assets will just stay in my account, and you won't get a single penny."
Su Jin was so angry she laughed. "I, Su Jin, hate being threatened more than anything in my life, especially when someone keeps threatening me. Fine, we won't get married then."
“That’s not up to you.” Zheng Lin took out a document from the drawer, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen, and pushed the document to the corner of the table. “Don’t forget how Miss Su begged me back then, and you even signed this agreement. If you don’t marry into the Zheng family, you will not only lose the Zhao family’s inheritance, but you will also have to pay an additional two billion US dollars.”
With that, he took off his glasses, placed them on the table, and walked step by step toward Su Jin: "Whether you want to leave or stay, when have I ever forced you?"
Su Jin was forced to retreat several steps until her back hit the wall.
Her coat slipped off her shoulders, revealing the woman's fair skin.
He only caught a glimpse of her slender neck before wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her a light kiss on her collarbone.
She took another light bite, with a hint of punishment and deep resentment, and said, "Just like ten years ago, if you wanted to break up, you broke up. It was always up to you."
Su Jin clenched her fists. When she talked about what happened ten years ago, she realized that she was the one who had wronged him.
It's because she was too young and playful back then, and she liked to play with other people's feelings.
But isn't he holding a grudge too much?
She wanted to slap him, but she couldn't; what she wanted was still in his hands.
Now, she has no choice but to let him have his way.
She told herself to just treat it as a mosquito bite.
Zheng Lin closed his eyes, turned around, calmly returned to his desk, and continued reading the document.
His fingers were no longer under his control, and he pressed several keys incorrectly.
Fortunately, no one else saw it.
As if nothing had just happened, he suddenly began to lecture: "Our Zheng family has strict rules. Clothes must have collars and sleeves, and skirts must be below the knee. Remember that. Okay, don't bother me unless you have something to say."
Zheng Lin didn't look up, but waved his hand twice with the back of his hand to signal her to leave.
Su Jin: "..." This is inexplicable. Didn't you call me here?
After returning to her room, Su Jin stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself.
She rubbed the deep red hickey on her collarbone with her finger, and the surrounding skin turned a light pink.
