Hearing that voice, as cold as the first snow, Su Jin's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her gaze was fixed on that hand.
There is a very obvious scar on the well-defined knuckles.
He didn't have this scar on his hand before.
When did the scars appear?
Su Jin turned to look at the owner of the hand, but after only a second, she looked away, blinked twice in a panic, and sat down again.
She was afraid that Zheng Lin would get upset and expose her hidden identity on the spot.
If he wanted to, he could expose her at any time; he was the only one among those present who knew her two identities.
Her heart pounded like a drum, and she frowned, suppressing her nervousness.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.
"Chairman Su, you should at least say thank you."
Su Jin clenched her fist slightly and replied calmly, "Thank you, Young Master Zheng."
She thought Zheng Lin would make things difficult for her, but she didn't hear his voice again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the man had already walked towards the head table.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps Zheng Lin has already moved on and come to terms with it, and wouldn't really make things difficult for his ex-wife. Although she's called his ex-wife, they haven't even gotten their divorce certificate yet.
If only she had known, she should have dragged Zheng Lin to get the divorce certificate two years ago. Now that he wants to pursue new love, she'll have to ask him to get the divorce certificate sooner or later.
Suddenly, I became incredibly passive.
Zheng Lin was on the stage, and He Ru happily walked up to him, reaching out to take his arm.
Zheng Lin took a step to the side, preventing her from taking his arm. "There are quite a few people here today, but the person I want to thank the most is Chairman Su of Wudu Group. He took time out of his busy schedule to come and bless me and my fiancée."
Being called out directly, Su Jin's back stiffened. She could only glance at the two people on the stage. It has to be said that, even without being able to see their faces clearly, the two looked quite well-matched.
She clapped politely, offering her blessings to the two soon-to-be-married couple on stage.
Zheng Lin's gaze had been intentionally or unintentionally fixed on the end table, so he naturally saw her applause clearly. He quietly took a deep breath to maintain absolute composure.
very good.
Two years have passed, and his acting skills have improved even more.
"Chairman Su, who is this?" He Ru's eyes swept around the audience. "I also want to thank Chairman Su in person."
"There's a chance." After saying this, Zheng Lin gave Su Jin a deep look, then left He Ru and the host on stage.
He Ru didn't mind. Zheng Lin's personality had always been like this; he was used to being indifferent to everyone. As long as he was willing to marry her, that was enough.
For the rest of the situation, He Ru had to hold things together all by herself.
He Rong, sitting at the head table, couldn't stand it anymore. She glared at Zheng Lin and said, "How could you come down by yourself and leave Ru'er to face so many people on stage by herself? She's a woman, how can she handle this kind of situation alone?"
"It's good enough that I can marry her. She herself has no objections. Look at her, she's very happy on stage." Zheng Lin crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.
"Well, only Ru'er can tolerate you. That's all." He Rong didn't want to say more. Her son was just like that. It was already a huge concession for him to marry He Ru. She didn't dare to expect him to give He Ru any face.
We still have to take it slow; men need to be tamed with a bit of skill.
A girl as good as Ru'er will eventually win his heart.
He Rong was very certain of her judgment.
Su Jin was getting restless. The engagement banquet was someone else's happy time, and she was just a spectator, much like watching a poorly acted play. The key point was that it was a one-woman show, with only the female lead on stage rambling on and on, unilaterally showing off her relationship with her fiancé, while the host occasionally chimed in with an awkward few words.
Overall, this story is told from a biased perspective.
He Ru first met Zheng Lin when she started working after graduating from university.
He Ru's first job was introduced to Zheng's Group by her godmother He Rong. During that time, He Ru worked as Zheng Lin's secretary for three months, and they developed feelings for each other during their daily interactions.
Upon hearing the story of mutual affection, Su Jin felt it was unbelievable.
Su Jin had tried the subtle approach to pursuing her husband twelve years ago, but Zheng Lin remained completely unmoved. It was more effective to be direct and forceful than to force him into a relationship.
Go straight up to him and be direct, relentlessly pursue him, and pester him all the time. As the saying goes, a good man fears a persistent woman. Then, you also need to know when to advance and when to retreat. When it's about time, take a step back and disappear from his sight. That's already half the battle won.
Back then, Su Jin used this trick. At first, she just thought she'd give it a try, without much real feeling involved. Little did she know that the boy in school who was least likely to be in a relationship actually fell for it.
Therefore, she bet that she couldn't catch up with Zheng Lin, and ended up losing a thousand yuan of her pocket money. The tragic past is too painful to recall.
He Ru was still talking about their past love, which was becoming more and more like a domineering CEO falling in love with me drama. Su Jin suspected that He Ru had referenced a lot of melodramatic CEO novels before writing the manuscript, which was truly a compilation of the best.
So, while everyone was listening to the melodramatic story, Su Jin quietly slipped away.
He Rong organized the engagement banquet herself, and it was a very grand affair.
Besides the engagement banquet being packed with guests, even the deserted rooftop was decorated with champagne cakes.
The night view was beautiful. Su Jin picked up a glass of champagne from the table, looked at the starry sky, and took a sip.
She removed her mask, sat in a chair, tilted her head slightly back, rested her elbow on her hand, and gently swirled her wine glass.
The night view on a foreign island is different from the night view in a domestic city. One is very peaceful, while the other requires you to find a bit of peace amidst the hustle and bustle.
It's better to be in a crowded place like this. Even though it's a group celebration and not really for the main couple's happiness, it's still better to have someone with you than to be alone.
Sincerity? Where can you find so much sincerity?
It was all just superficial small talk and polite greetings.
"Chairman Su is really in high spirits, enjoying the night view all by himself."
Suddenly, a male voice rang out from behind her, addressing her as "Chairman Su," which annoyed her.
Su Jin hesitated for a moment, then turned to look.
The night wind was strong, blowing the woman's slightly wavy long hair, making her look like a lively and enchanting elf under the night sky. Just one glance was enough to bewitch people's hearts.
Two years have passed, and seeing this face up close again, I feel completely disoriented.
After all, that face had appeared in his dreams far too many times.
Zheng Lin's eyes deepened, but only for a second before returning to their cold expression.
"Young Master Zheng seems to be in good spirits. I've finished enjoying the night view, so I'll be leaving now." Su Jin was about to slip away when he grabbed her arm and forcefully pressed her back into the chair.
Zheng Lin deliberately avoided looking at her, let go of her hand, looked up at the starry sky, and said in a voice as cold as frost, "There's no need to leave so soon. When old friends catch up, they should say a few words. It's not appropriate for Chairman Su to leave after only one sentence."
Su Jin opened her mouth, but said nothing.
