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...
Su Jin looked up with a smile and her eyes fell on Zheng Lin again.
A staff member came over and exclaimed, "The baby is so cute! I didn't expect you to have a baby, Sister Su Ling!"
Su Jin was immediately shocked and quickly denied it, "No, no, no, this is not my child."
"This is the child I brought, from a relative's family. Isn't he adorable? He's so chubby and fair-skinned," Zheng Youguo explained proudly to the staff, then fell into a slight pang of disappointment, lamenting that the child belonged to someone else, not his own.
If things continue like this, this obscure actress will soon be in the news for having a child out of wedlock, which is increasingly frightening to think about.
Su Jin held the baby close to her face and said, "I wish this was my child. What a pity."
She said this intentionally for others to hear, fearing that someone might spread rumors about her.
Zheng Lin reached out to hug the baby, but the baby burst into tears and kept snuggling into Su Jin's arms.
“This chubby boy doesn’t like you.” Zheng Youguo was overjoyed, his face crinkling with laughter. He had finally found an opportunity to tease his son, and said succinctly, “They say children are good at recognizing people. If he doesn’t like you, it must be because you seem difficult to get along with.”
Su Jin thought it made sense. Zheng Lin had always had a strong aura. Not to mention children were afraid of him, even some adults would feel a shadow in their hearts when they saw him.
But when he's with her, he always becomes extremely childish.
Zheng Lin from ten years ago was much better. He was a bit of a dog, but he never went against her or argued with her. You could say he was very obedient to her. Apart from supervising her studies and forbidding her from drinking, she had the final say in everything else.
Back then, Zheng Lin was an excellent student with outstanding looks, and the dream girl of many female classmates.
The baby cried for a while and then fell asleep. The housekeeper took the baby from Su Jin and put him in the stroller.
Su Jin led them into the RV, since this wasn't the place to talk.
The RV stopped in a nearby ancient town.
Zheng Youguo: "Your mother came yesterday, and I'm here today too. I've already scolded this brat. If you have any grievances, tell us, and we'll all stand up for you."
Su Jin couldn't say those things in front of others.
"Alright, I'll go out for a stroll, you two can chat by yourselves." Zheng Youguo gave the two of them some alone time and went with the butler to browse the shops in the ancient town.
The two had spoken alone not long ago, so Su Jin had nothing left to say and sat there motionless.
"I'm not satisfied with the divorce agreement. I still don't plan to get a divorce." Zheng Lin kept staring at Su Jin.
"I understand." Su Jin didn't have much hope for the divorce. Looking at the scenery of the ancient town outside the window, she suddenly felt a strong urge to settle down here.
Zheng Lin followed her gaze and saw a large truck around the corner that seemed to be out of the driver's control, hurtling straight toward them, carrying tons of steel bars.
Steel bars, when used at a certain speed, can easily pierce through hard objects.
He was startled, grabbed Su Jin, and threw her to the ground.
The two rolled over, and the steel bars inside the train pierced right through the carriage.
Su Jin was terrified and nestled in Zheng Lin's chest.
What just happened?
A truck crashed into us!
Before her mind could fully process what was happening, in that instant, memories of the car accident from her previous life overlapped with her own.
Her mind was filled with memories of the car accident, and Su Jin, with her eyes closed, instinctively screamed, "Ah, my leg! My leg hurts so much!!"
Zheng Lin quickly touched her leg and found no obvious external injuries.
But Su Jin looked like she was in excruciating pain, so Zheng Lin shook her shoulder, "Little Jin, Little Jin."
The next moment, Su Jin suddenly opened her eyes and instantly returned to reality. She touched her right leg and said, "Thank goodness, my leg is still there."
Zheng Lin helped Su Jin up. Su Jin's legs were weak, and she leaned on Zheng Lin. The door of the RV was pried open by the firefighters, and Zheng Youguo rushed in faster than the firefighters.
Zheng Youguo circled around them, anxiously examining them closely: "Are you hurt?"
Zheng Lin glanced down at Su Jin's leg. "Xiao Jin has been complaining of leg pain. I wonder if she has broken a bone."
Zheng Youguo: "Then get him to the hospital right away!"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. I was just a little scared, I thought my leg was gone." Su Jin was telling the truth.
No one was injured. Only then did Zheng Youguo notice that the two of them were leaning against each other, and they didn't look like they were having relationship problems at all. He was suddenly relieved that the car accident had ended without any serious consequences.
He can now retire gracefully.
So, Zheng Youguo pushed the stroller and continued to stroll around the ancient town with the butler, saying, "Don't worry about me, I'll go back by myself when I'm done. You all have a wonderful time."
Su Jin straightened up, but Zheng Lin pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
Can we reconcile?
"Young Master Zheng, please speak properly and don't stand so close." Su Jin pushed him with her hand, and the two remained locked in a stalemate for a while, but she still couldn't push him away.
Her eyes were filled with anger. "We can't reconcile. It was unsolvable from the beginning, an unsolvable problem. How can you expect me to reconcile? There is no possibility of reconciliation between us."
There has to be a reason.
"I told you I'm not Xiao Jin. I'm not myself after losing my memory. Xiao Jin and you are in love, that's between the two of you, what does it have to do with me, Su Jin?"
Su Jin's tone of voice was exactly like that of a female player. Every word she spoke was an attempt to avoid taking responsibility.
Zheng Lin lifted her chin, looking into her eyes with amusement. "Why do I feel like you're trying to shirk responsibility? If you don't want to take responsibility for me, you can just say so. You don't need to make up all sorts of excuses."
Su Jin: But as soon as I regained my memories, I found out I slept with a man. These memories are truly terrifying! It seems like I did it, but it also seems like I didn't. And Zheng Lin likes that silly little Jin, which means he doesn't truly like me.
“I’ve always been like this,” Su Jin said, tilting her head back as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Is this the first day you’ve met me? Have you forgotten why we broke up? Do I look like a responsible person?”
Her three consecutive questions hit Zheng Lin hard on the head.
Zheng Lin was fully aware of all this, but his will was firm, and these hurtful words could not dampen his enthusiasm for Xiao Jin.
“Then I’ll take charge,” Zheng Lin said, playing word games with her.
What's the difference?
"The difference is... I'm only saying this to you."
Su Jin: "......"
The words were a bit cheesy, but her heart still fluttered slightly.
She herself wouldn't believe that she didn't like it at all!
But mere liking wasn't enough for her to willingly remain by his side.
After all, it's marriage. Having experienced a man like Zhao Xichen, she now has very low expectations for marriage.
