Assistant Gao intended to give the two of them some alone time, so he just stood outside the door and didn't go in.
The boss's office is just one door away.
Su Jin had no idea why she had followed Zheng Lin back to this office. She should have gone home, she should have gone home!
But she followed him in, as if possessed.
She touched her belly and said to her baby in her heart: Do you want this dad? But your dad has an enemy in his heart, that Bai Qingchi. Mom really doesn't want this blind man.
She was trying to brainwash herself.
No one responded to her, but she felt as if she had received a response, which strengthened her resolve to divorce.
"If your leg is alright, I'll be going now," Su Jin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
Zheng Lin had been by Su Jin's side for many years and had come to understand some of her bad habits.
His right cheek twitched, and he cried out in pain. He touched his leg and frowned, saying, "It feels like I've peeled off a layer of skin. I don't know what temperature water Gao Zixin used to make the milk."
His clumsy acting was something Su Jin had already mastered, so Su Jin naturally saw through his act at a glance.
Su Jin rolled her eyes at him: "I think it must be water over a thousand degrees, the kind that can melt bones. Lift up your pants and see, isn't it already all white bones?"
Zheng Lin: "..." He actually figured it out.
Zheng Lin regained his composure, cleared his throat, and glanced at her vaguely.
"I'll bring a new divorce agreement tomorrow." Su Jin changed the subject and strode out the door.
He left the law firm amidst a crowd of strange stares.
When Zheng Lin heard her last sentence, his heart sank even further.
His elbow knocked the documents off the table. He bent down to pick them up and saw that it was another divorce agreement.
Xiao Jin just took out two copies of the agreement, and this one is intact.
He flipped to the previous page and continued reading.
......
Back home, Su Jin took a bath first, and then lay comfortably on the bed.
For some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had forgotten something of paramount importance.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and could only send messages to Song Leilei.
Song Leilei didn't reply to her, so she could only get up and drink some milk.
She had drunk half of her milk when a thought suddenly struck her. She turned to rummage through her bag and found only some cosmetics inside.
She took a step back. "It's over. There's still one copy with him."
She really wanted to run away with her baby that very night, because by the time Zheng Lin came to his senses, things would become even more complicated.
Since she hadn't taken on any new gigs recently, she bought herself a plane ticket to fly abroad first. After a few days, she would find a suitable small country to focus on her pregnancy and give birth to the child without anyone knowing.
After the divorce, she took her child and went into hiding abroad so that he would never know about the child's existence.
Her plan was good, but plans never keep up with changes.
Wearing a hat and mask, and pulling her suitcase, she was about to leave when someone opened the door from the outside by entering a password.
The two looked at each other. Zheng Lin narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized her, noticing her outfit suggesting a long journey. "Chairwoman Su, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Why did you suddenly barge into my house?" Su Jin pulled her suitcase behind her, straightened her back, and said, "Get out of here."
Why did they have to come at this crucial moment?
"I'll leave once I figure something out," Zheng Lin said, and Assistant Gao yawned as he stepped through the door.
Working overtime late into the night, Assistant Gao was really struggling to stay awake. Although he was quite gossipy about their relationship, it was already 11 p.m., and he simply didn't have the same energy as his boss.
Men in love are full of energy and spirit.
Su Jin took off her hat, ran her hand through her hair, and said irritably, "This is my home, not a place you can come and go as you please."
“Before we officially divorced, your home and my home were the same place, all part of our home.” Zheng Lin glanced at her exposed slender waist. “I can come and go as I please.”
He went to the sofa and brought a blanket.
Su Jin scolded him, "You're not allowed to sleep here. We're separated now. Remember that."
Zheng Lin approached her, wrapped a small blanket around her slender waist, and wrapped his arms around her back, tying the blanket in a knot to secure it.
“You’re a mother now, you shouldn’t wear these clothes anymore, you’ll easily catch a cold.” His tone was full of concern.
Su Jin's breath hitched. So, he already knew? No, no, no, there should still be room for explanation. She couldn't give up now.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Jin's eyes darted around. "Who wants to be a mother? Your Bai Qingchi? Well then, congratulations on the birth of your precious child."
When it comes to infuriating people, Zheng Lin can never beat Su Jin. She always has a unique way of thinking that can accurately hit the spot that makes him most angry.
Zheng Lin took out the divorce agreement, turned to a page, and said, "Child custody goes to the woman. What does this mean? I'd like Chairman Su to help me understand it. This clause wasn't there last time. If it weren't for the pregnancy, why would they add this sentence? Hmm?"
“I copied it from the internet, I copied it all down. I’m not a lawyer, it’s normal for there to be mistakes when drafting these.” Su Jin pointed to the line of text on the agreement with her finger. “Look. This is it. It doesn’t prove anything at all. If you’re not happy, you can draft a new one yourself.”
"Do you dare to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"I..." He really didn't dare. Su Jin couldn't respond to his words.
"So you're pregnant with my child, and you're still trying to deny it." Zheng Lin was overjoyed and said, "We'll have our wedding next month, and I'll definitely give you and the child a happy family."
"Stop." Su Jin stared at the floor for a while, then suddenly thought of a dirty trick and started talking nonsense: "Who said the child is yours? The child isn't yours. What are you making these vows of eternal love for? I added that clause simply because I didn't want to tell you that I was pregnant with someone else's child. I wanted to leave each other with a little bit of good impression."
Zheng Lin was stunned for a second.
It wasn't his child; he hadn't considered that possibility.
Is the child Wang Keyi's?
That's absolutely impossible!
"If you say the child is someone else's again, I'll make that person disappear from the entertainment industry! And you'll never see him again!" Zheng Lin roared.
Assistant Gao was startled by the shout.
Zheng Lin calmed down and said to Su Jin, "I'll give you one more chance to correct this. Whose child is it?"
“Even if the child is yours, you can forget about getting custody. If you don’t agree to that clause, we’ll fight to the death,” Su Jin could only resort to her last bargaining chip, “I’ll get an abortion tomorrow. Rather than let my child live with you and Bai Qingchi, I’d rather have an abortion.”
Before coming, Zheng Lin had spent a long time preparing himself mentally.
He told himself that he had come to make peace with Xiao Jin, and that he must be patient.
Moreover, the old man had privately told him a lot that one must be patient in everything, which was the only rule that allowed him to maintain his marriage.
So Zheng Lin decided to back down first, "Don't say hurtful things. I hope we can give each other a chance. The baby won't be born anytime soon, and you have plenty of time to think about our relationship."
Su Jin looked down at her stomach and was slightly shaken. "I still stand by what I said: Bai Qingchi and I are natural enemies. If you think she's your sister, then don't be with me."
"I really don't understand, why? What deep-seated hatred do you have?" Zheng Lin couldn't understand. In his view, the only point of connection and hatred between Qingchi and Xiaojin was Zhao Xichen.
“If it’s because Qingchi was involved with Zhao Xichen, then she is indeed at fault. But that happened a long time ago, and I don’t think you’re the kind of person who can’t tolerate injustice.” Zheng Lin made a bold conjecture, “Unless she put you in mortal danger. Something I didn’t know, right?”
He recalled the scene in the hospital where Xiao Jin was leaning against the wall with blood streaming from the back of her head.
Perhaps it was Qingchi who caused it that time; he had suspected it a long time ago.
Assistant Gao couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the sofa.
Su Jin wasn't without feelings for Zheng Lin. Although being a single mother was good, she also wanted to fight for happiness for her child and herself.
She knew that being too indecisive was not a good thing.
Let's just lay our cards on the table now.
