Chapter 86 Announces the Wedding
Zhao Mobai, dressed in a dark gray suit, walked down with an air of composure.
Ignoring all the cameras around him, he walked straight to Shen Shuangmiao's side and naturally put his arm around her waist.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The cameras in their hands instantly became even more frantic, pointing them even more intently.
Reporters sensed an even bigger story and immediately changed their questions.
"Mr. Zhao! What brings you here?"
What is your relationship with Miss Shen now?
Facing the camera, Zhao Mobai smiled languidly.
"I would like to take this opportunity to formally announce to everyone that Shuangmiao and I are engaged, and the wedding date will be announced soon."
He paused, then tightened his grip on Shen Shuang's waist slightly, asserting his dominance.
"I hope to receive your blessings."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Shen Shuangmiao had just gotten divorced when she immediately announced her engagement to the son of the powerful Zhao family!
This news is even more explosive than the divorce itself.
Shen Shuangmiao felt the force from the hand around her waist, and her body stiffened for a moment.
She quickly relaxed, composed herself, and gave a slight smile to the camera.
That smile in front of the camera is the best answer.
Fu Xuan stood not far away, looking at Shen Shuangmiao, who was being held in Zhao Mobai's arms, and felt almost unable to breathe.
He knew this was a deal, a means for Shen Shuangmiao to escape her predicament.
Seeing Shen Shuangmiao so calmly walk into another loveless marriage still saddened Fu Xuan.
Zhao Mobai did not give the reporter any more opportunities to ask questions. He protected Shen Shuangmiao and quickly got into the car.
The car door closed, blocking out the flashing lights from outside.
The smile on Shen Shuangmiao's face vanished instantly.
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and rubbed her aching temples.
"Satisfied?"
Zhao Mobai glanced at her, his tone still languid.
"Of course I'm satisfied with the results. Next, we need to deal with the matter of that billion. I will have someone follow up on it."
Shen Shuangmiao did not respond, but simply turned her head to look out the window.
Some things changed completely the moment she walked out of the courtroom and tacitly accepted Zhao Mobai's announcement of their engagement.
From now on, she and Zhu Jin will have no further entanglement.
...
at the same time.
The best private hospital in the city center.
Inside the VIP ward.
Zhu Jin lay on the hospital bed, his left arm in a heavy cast and suspended in place, with several obvious abrasions and bruises on his forehead and cheek.
The doctor just informed him that he was fortunate to have escaped serious injury and internal damage in the car accident, but he did suffer a mild concussion and needs to rest in bed.
But Zhu Jin couldn't care less about any of that at the moment.
His right hand was gripping the tablet computer tightly.
On the screen, there was a picture of Shen Shuangmiao being embraced by Zhao Mobai at the entrance of the courthouse, smiling at the camera.
Zhao Mobai personally announced the news of his marriage, embracing Shen Shuangmiao; they looked very affectionate.
Zhu Jin's hands trembled, and the tablet slipped from his grasp, crashing to the floor with a thud.
He lay down, staring intently at the pale light on the ceiling, his chest heaving violently, his breathing rapid, as if he were about to suffocate.
Zhu Jin's dark eyes were now completely still.
It was as if all hope of survival was completely snatched away the moment the news was seen.
She truly didn't want him anymore, telling everyone in the most resolute and cruel way that they had nothing to do with each other anymore.
At that moment, the ward door was pushed open.
Grandpa Zhu and Zhou Wu walked in one after the other.
The old man's face was ashen. Looking at Zhu Jin on the hospital bed, he was both angry and heartbroken. In the end, he could only sigh.
"You saw that? Have you given up now? Shen Shuangmiao never cared about you from the beginning! She valued your status and position before, but now that she's found a better backer, she'll kick you aside and run into someone else's arms right away!"
"What's so special about this kind of woman that you can't forget her?"
Zhou Wu didn't say anything, but silently placed the tonics she had brought on the bedside table.
Looking at Zhu Jin's dejected appearance, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
She spoke softly, "Ah Jin, the facts are already laid out before us."
"She couldn't wait to divorce you and immediately got together with Zhao Mobai, announcing their marriage in front of everyone. She has no heart and has never truly loved you."
No matter how much you do for her, or how badly you get hurt, she won't even glance at you again.
"Face reality. The people who are by your side now are the ones who truly care about you."
Zhu Jin seemed not to hear what they were saying.
He kept staring at the ceiling, his lips moving slightly as he made a very soft sound.
"Call her and ask her to come see me."
He stubbornly believed that if she saw him injured and in such a disheveled state, she might feel a little sorry for him.
Perhaps they will have a slight change of heart.
The old man was furious with his stubbornness.
"How long are you going to remain so stubborn!"
Zhou Wu quickly patted the old man's back reassuringly, then looked at Zhu Jin with a complicated expression, "Ah Jin, why are you doing this? She won't come..."
"beat!"
Zhu Jin suddenly let out a low roar, his eyes fixed on Zhou Wu, "I'll let you hit me!!"
Zhou Wu shuddered in fright, stunned by the despair and madness in his eyes, and subconsciously took out her phone.
She dialed Shen Shuangmiao's number and pressed speakerphone.
The phone rang for a long time.
Just when Zhu Jin thought Shen Shuangmiao wouldn't answer, the call finally went through.
"Hello? Miss Zhou,"
Shen Shuangmiao's voice showed little emotional fluctuation.
Zhu Jin held his breath instantly, his heart leaping into his throat.
Zhou Wu glanced at Zhu Jin, her tone tinged with worry.
"Ah Jin was in a car accident this morning and is in the hospital now..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Shuangmiao coldly interrupted her, "So?"
Three words, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if listening to news from a complete stranger.
Zhu Jin felt as if his heart had been stabbed by those words, the pain causing his fingertips to twitch.
Zhou Wu was also speechless at her cold attitude, but he forced himself to continue, "He was seriously injured, with a broken arm and concussion. He really wants to see you."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Shen Shuangmiao's voice rang out again.
Send me the address.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhu Jin looked up in disbelief.
"She agreed?"
She was willing to come see him.
He knew that Shen Shuangmiao still had feelings for him.
There must be more.
The old man looked at Zhu Jin, snorted, and turned his head away.
Zhou Wu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; she hadn't expected Shen Shuangmiao to actually agree.
What exactly is she trying to do?
Half an hour later.
The ward door was gently pushed open.
Shen Shuangmiao's figure appeared at the door.
