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...
After reviewing Zheng Lin's diagnosis, the doctor simply said, "Young Master Zheng, you should go home and rest well. Try to relax and clear your mind. I suggest you explore some hobbies to distract yourself."
Assistant Gao understood what the doctor really meant: "You are perfectly healthy, you have no problems at all, you just overthink things. I can't cure you, so good luck to you."
So, on this day, Zheng Lin agreed to play Ludo for the first time with the old man.
He plans to find something he enjoys among them.
Zheng Youguo thought to himself: It's good to have a wife. My son has grown up and finally knows how to be close to his father and spend more time with this lonely old man.
The two played Ludo for an entire afternoon, neither willing to give in, and eventually they even started to compete.
Su Jin was brought in to be the judge.
Zheng Youguo snorted coldly, "In this round, he took an extra step, otherwise how could he have won against me?"
Zheng Lin: "I'm six, I can take six steps without any problem."
“What six? That’s five,” Zheng Youguo argued. “I’m old, but my eyesight is still good. It’s clearly five. You won by taking an extra step.”
"Forget it, I'm not playing with an old man like you who cheats." Zheng Lin turned hostile and took the dice.
After the dice were taken away, we couldn't play Ludo anymore.
Zheng Youguo pointed at Zheng Lin and said, "Little Jin, tell me, who should win this round?"
Su Jin: "......"
Two hours later, Zheng Lin went out again.
Zheng Lin was acting mysteriously today, so Su Jin secretly followed him to see what he was up to. Was he going to see a woman?
As a result, he went to the rooftop to meet Xu Jingzhi.
Su Jin overheard their conversation.
Zheng Lin looked at the night sky and said coldly, "Did you bring it?"
Xu Jingzhi crouched down, looked up at him, and asked, "Hmm, are you ready?"
Zheng Lin: "Hurry up, we're counting on you from now on."
Xu Jingzhi: "I'll try my best."
Zheng Lin's position is such that he can easily step off.
This is a rooftop. The two people are having this conversation and have such serious expressions. Could it be that they've agreed to jump off the building together?
Su Jin stopped hiding behind the door and ran over to hug Zheng Lin's waist. "Don't be impulsive. Think about it calmly. Life is still beautiful."
Zheng Lin was jolted forward by the impact, but luckily he managed to grab the railing.
He turned around, picked Su Jin up by the waist, and carried her to the rooftop gate before setting her down.
Zheng Lin: "Why did you come along too?"
"If I hadn't come soon, I would have become a widow again." Su Jin slapped Zheng Lin on the chest. "What's wrong with you that you want to jump off a building? Can't you just live for me? No matter what happens, we can face it together."
In this passage, Zheng Lin only focused on one place.
Another widow?
Did she think of Zhao Xichen?
Zheng Lin suddenly became extremely jealous, "You remembered that guy surnamed Zhao?"
The first memory that came to mind was actually related to Zhao Xichen, not him.
“Ah, you mean Zhao Xichen? Yes, yes,” Su Jin nodded. “Wang Ke told me yesterday. I had forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it. I didn’t expect you to have so many things on your mind.”
Could this be the reason he wanted to jump off the building?
Su Jin held his hand tightly, "It's all my fault, I didn't notice your inner pain before."
Xu Jingzhi stood up and walked towards the two of them. "Su Jin, you've misunderstood. We came here to set off fireworks together. How could two fine young people like us possibly be thinking of jumping off a building?"
He pointed to the unlit fireworks on the ground for Su Jin to see.
Su Jin had never been so speechless. Two grown men, meeting up on the rooftop in such a mysterious way, were actually going to set off fireworks!
Su Jin: "What's going on with you two agreeing to set off fireworks together?"
Xu Jingzhi explained, "I've loved setting off fireworks since I was little. I originally wanted to set off one by myself today, but he asked me what my hobbies were and insisted that I bring him along, so I brought him along."
"There's no need to explain it so clearly." Zheng Lin felt embarrassed.
Only after Su Jin persistently pleaded with her did she learn that it all stemmed from Zheng Lin's physical examination that morning.
Zheng Lin thought Xiao Jin would laugh at him for saying all this, but Su Jin didn't; she saw the anxiety in his heart.
Men aren't usually that sensitive. The fact that he's so anxious and insecure can only mean that he suffered some kind of hurt in that forgotten memory.
Su Jin felt a little sorry for him.
Xu Jingzhi lit the fireworks.
Fireworks burst in the night sky. Su Jin leaned on Zheng Lin, while Xu Jingzhi stood alone to the side. After watching the fireworks together, Xu Jingzhi went to pick up Song Leilei.
Song Leilei bought a bunch of clothes and bags. When she saw everyone was there, she handed all the things to Xu Jingzhi as she passed by him, and then ran towards Su Jin.
"Xiao Jin!!" Song Leilei gave Su Jin a bear hug, almost pushing Zheng Lin into the road.
Zheng Lin: "......" This is Xiao Jin's best friend, I'll just let it go.
Xu Jingzhi looked at the extra things in his hands and gritted his teeth, saying, "Song Leilei! Why did you buy so many things again? I lent you the money so you could live on it."
"Oh dear." Song Leilei poked her fingers. "Well, this is my life. Of course, people want to live well, and a woman's hobby is buying clothes and bags."
"I'll go with you to return it. Let's go." Xu Jingzhi pulled Song Leilei away.
Song Leilei clung tightly to Su Jin's arm, pressed her face against her waist, and sobbed, "No, I won't go! This is all the empire I worked so hard to build! I walked all afternoon and my legs are sore from all this. Asking me to return it now is like taking my life! I won't go!"
Su Jin protected Song Leilei and said, "How much money does Leilei owe you? I'll help you pay it back."
Xu Jingzhi was in a bind; he knew all too well what Song Leilei's situation was like.
Song Leilei had to tell him everything every day, from what she ate to how many times she went to the toilet.
Recently, I've been sharing interesting things with him on set, sometimes happily, and sometimes complaining about how difficult acting is and how I have to drink with the directors.
He was furious when he heard that; he should have refused to drink with her, but Song Leilei said she didn't dare.
“It’s not about the money. She never considers the consequences of her actions. She signed an agency contract so casually before, and recently Gao Wei has been dragging her to drink with directors all the time. This is before anything bad has happened, but who knows when she’ll fall into someone’s trap,” Xu Jingzhi said indignantly.
Su Jin: "..." Hearing this, Lei Lei definitely deserves to be scolded.
Su Jin pushed Song Leilei out, and Song Leilei looked at her blankly.
“Xu Jingzhi is right, you should go with him,” Su Jin said. “He’s only so angry because he considers you a friend. You need to think about your daily meals, and then use any extra money to buy things you like.”
Song Leilei pouted, "Okay, okay, I understand."
