Chapter 544 Lowering the Proud Head

Zhuo Lanyu was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing.

Is this an attempt to manipulate her?!

"Su Jin, I know you've been holding a grudge about your divorce from Zhou Ge, but you can't force matters of the heart. I think even though you're divorced, you should still hope that Zhou Ge is doing well, right?"

Su Jin scoffed.

Trying to appeal to her emotions?

She never falls for that kind of thing.

Besides, what feelings did she have for Zhou Zhenxing?

“You’re wrong. Whether Zhou Zhenxing is doing well or not has nothing to do with me. We’re all adults, and we should take responsibility for our mistakes.”

"There's one more thing I need to correct. I've never held a grudge against Zhou Zhenxing. He's not some hot commodity that anyone would fawn over!"

It was one thing for Zhou Zhenxing to be delusional, but it turns out that Zhuo Lanyu was the same way.

It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together.

Zhuo Lanyu's face grew increasingly grim, her eyes fixed intently on her.

They tried to find traces of lying on her face.

"Since you put it that way, let's set aside feelings and stick to the facts. He just wanted to perform well in the exercise, what's wrong with that?"

Su Jin narrowed her eyes, finally understanding why Zhou Zhenxing had gotten together with her.

They really do have the same thing in their heads.

"If he hadn't done anything wrong, he wouldn't be in jail now."

A single, casual remark was enough to make Zhuo Lanyu blush and fall silent.

"Does Comrade Zhuo Lanyu not trust military law?"

Although Su Jin was smiling, her eyes were filled with cold indifference.

Zhuo Lanyu experienced her sharpness for the first time, and her facial muscles twitched with anger.

"Are you unwilling to help Brother Zhou because Xiao Yunfeng simply won't listen to you, or because you still harbor resentment towards Brother Zhou?"

Regardless of the reason, it's all an irony to Su Jin.

Su Jin remained unmoved and directly saw through her intentions, saying, "Provocation won't work on me. I still have training to do, so I won't waste my time here with you."

So in the end, she's just a loudmouthed paper tiger.

When Zhuo Lanyu saw that she was about to leave, she became impatient.

Su Jin was her last hope!

"Su Jin!"

A loud, excited shout.

Su Jin stopped again.

Zhuo Lanyu bit her lip tightly, the sharp pain keeping her mind clear as she struggled to say, "I beg you, please help Brother Zhou. I'll agree to anything you ask!"

Finally, her feelings for Zhou Zhenxing overcame her pride, causing her to lower her proud head in front of the person she despised the most.

Su Jin looked at her expressionlessly.

"I know you hate me, but please, for the sake of all the years you've been husband and wife with Brother Zhou, help him this once!" Zhuo Lanyu tried her best to suppress the humiliation in her eyes.

She thought Su Jin was simply using this method to force her to submit.

Now that she has achieved her goal, she should agree to help, right?

Su Jin did indeed speak, "Are you finished?"

Zhuo Lanyu nodded reluctantly, betting that she hadn't truly let go of Zhou Zhenxing!

"My answer is the same as before: I can't help you." Su Jin still gave a cold and indifferent rejection.

Zhuo Lanyu's chest heaved violently. Before she could react and figure out what to do next, Su Jin's cold voice rang out again.

"Also, Zhou Zhenxing and I have never been a real couple."

Zhuo Lanyu felt her brain go blank, and nothing was left.
