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 80 Su Jin said it was just an act

Half an hour later, Zheng Lin could no longer bear it and crossed his arms over his chest.

He raised an eyebrow arrogantly and ordered his assistant, "Knock on the door and say you're hungry."

Assistant Gao: "..." I'm not hungry. If you want to come in, don't use me as an excuse. Put aside your pride and knock on the door yourself.

But he couldn't disobey his boss's orders, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on that awkward door.

Knock knock knock.

Xu Jingzhi, who was still playing games, heard the noise and kicked Song Leilei, saying, "It sounds like someone is knocking on the door. Go check it out."

"I'm eating, I don't have time." Song Leilei's cheeks were bulging, stuffed full of food, making her look just like a cute little hamster. "Go by yourself."

"I don't have time to play games." Xu Jingzhi frowned, his mind completely absorbed in the mobile game.

Wang Keyi was about to open the door when Su Jin, bored, had already walked to the door ahead of him.

Su Jin chewed the lettuce in her mouth more than ten times, still chewing, as if this bite of food was extremely difficult to swallow.

She opened the door and saw Assistant Gao.

Assistant Gao smiled politely and said, "My boss said he was hungry and wanted to come over for a late-night snack."

After he finished speaking, he turned to the side, revealing Zheng Lin sitting behind him.

Su Jin: "......"

Zheng Lin: "......" Gao Zixin, what are you doing? Changing the lyrics at the last minute?

Their eyes met, and Su Jin realized that the lettuce in her mouth really didn't taste good anymore. She swallowed the lettuce and said, "Young Master Zheng probably won't like it."

Zheng Lin got up and walked over, glaring at Assistant Gao. Assistant Gao glanced inside and said, "A light meal, huh? That's our boss's favorite!"

He also noticed the lettuce the proprietress was holding and cleverly remarked, "Especially... lettuce."

After saying that, Assistant Gao nodded to himself with satisfaction. He was indeed the boss's clever and considerate assistant who could overcome all difficulties!

Xu Jingzhi was on the same side as Zheng Lin, controlling his character in the game while shouting, "Yes! Young Master Zheng likes this kind of thing, come on in! I don't think Wang Keyi will mind, it'll be more fun with more people."

Su Jin could no longer stop Zheng Lin from coming in. As Assistant Gao passed by her, he instantly took the lettuce from her hand.

Assistant Gao smiled and said, "The color of this piece isn't very good. Eating it might upset your stomach. My boss is in good health and can eat it."

He gave the lettuce to Zheng Lin.

To try and mend their relationship, Assistant Gao acted like their child—a child trying to reconcile her parents and prevent them from divorcing.

Zheng Lin held the piece of lettuce that had been eaten, glanced at Wang Keyi, and felt a little smug: I have the lettuce that Xiao Jin ate, but you don't.

Zheng Lin sat between Su Jin and Wang Keyi, completely oblivious to how childish his behavior was.

Zheng Lin asked nervously, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Su Jin: "No."

"And the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm always busy whenever you ask, no matter what day it is."

Zheng Lin: "......"

Assistant Gao was exasperated. She had gone to such lengths to help, but why couldn't the boss please his wife?

Assistant Gao then came up with another idea: "Boss, I made a mistake. I forgot to report to you today. How about I report to you now?"

Assistant Gao had already reported on his work at ten o'clock this morning. Zheng Lin raised an eyebrow and said, "Go on."

Assistant Gao cleared his throat and spoke loudly, as if afraid the boss's wife wouldn't hear him.

"The group has successfully terminated its contract with Bai Qingchi and paid him 50 million in compensation. The compensation will be transferred tomorrow."

Song Leilei: "That means Bai Qingchi can finally leave the crew. That's great! I was going crazy acting with her."

Xu Jingzhi grasped the key point and corrected Song Leilei's statement, "It's just a contract termination, not a role change. The show is already halfway through filming, changing the actor isn't realistic. You should just keep eating your food."

Song Leilei put down the spoonful of tofu, shoved Xu Jingzhi's shoulder, and glared at him fiercely: "Do you have thorns in your mouth? Open your mouth, and I'll pull them out for you."

Xu Jingzhi couldn't avoid Song Leilei, this vicious little hamster, and could only leave first. Song Leilei chased after him, shouting that she would remove the thorns for him.

Su Jin watched the two chasing and playing around and suddenly laughed.

The scene of chasing Zheng Lin at school involuntarily flashed into her mind.

Su Jin's smile vanished. How could she have thought of that? Those were Xiao Jin's memories, not hers.

So what if Bai Qingchi terminates the contract? Their relationship has never been about a mere Bai Qingchi, and she's not jealous!

Yes, she wasn't jealous!

How could she suddenly fall in love with her ex-boyfriend again just because she has amnesia? That's completely impossible.

Before she knew it, her hand was grasped.

"It's too late, let me take you back to your room." Zheng Lin helped her up.

Wang Keyi also reached out and grabbed Su Jin's other hand, saying, "If you're going to send them, send them together."

Assistant Gao's gaze fell on Su Jin's two hands, which were being held, each leading one of two men.

Assistant Gao: "......"

Su Jin looked at her hands, rolled her eyes at the ground speechlessly, shook off their hands, and walked into the elevator. The two jealous men also rushed into the elevator.

Assistant Gao: This scene is somewhat like science fiction.

Just one floor away, Su Jin strode towards her room after getting off the elevator, with two men following her like little shadows.

Su Jin stopped in her tracks. "Wang Keyi, you should go back. I want to talk to Young Master Zheng about something."

Zheng Lin's lips curled up in a smug smile. Xiao Jin still cares about me, as expected.

"Call me if anything happens. I'll answer your call 24/7." Wang Keyi said sincerely, one hand in his pocket as he walked back into the elevator, waving goodbye with reluctance.

Assistant Gao wisely went back to sleep.

Su Jin opened the door and let Zheng Lin in.

It's not appropriate to talk outside; these things can only be said behind closed doors.

Su Jin politely said, "Please sit down."

Zheng Lin stood there, looking at her intently: "Xiao Jin, I..."

“Young Master Zheng, I’ve thought things through these past few days. I’m still very grateful to you for saving me back then, otherwise I would be dead.” Su Jin saw Zheng Lin approaching a little, so she used her hand to stop him from getting any closer. “Let’s talk right here. It’s better for both of us to clear things up first.”

Zheng Lin stopped in his tracks. "You're still angry with me."

"Let me finish," Su Jin said. "I've thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that our relationship should stop at ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend. This marriage seems to have been a mistake from the beginning. Because I wanted revenge, I wanted to take revenge on the Zhao family, and I wanted to save the Su Group, I married you. Our relationship was just a charade."

Zheng Lin's eyes instantly dimmed. "My feelings for you have never been just for show."
