Su Jin's eyes widened, wanting to ask: What?
From the moment they met until now, when did she ever hit Bai Qingchi? Bai Qingchi is simply making baseless accusations.
She wished Bai Qingchi would suffer a terrible death, but she only said a few words to her.
"Who hit you?" Zheng Lin asked.
Before Bai Qingchi could answer, Su Jin pulled up a chair and sat down next to Zheng Lin. "That goes without saying. There are three people here. You didn't lay a hand on her, and she couldn't possibly hit herself. She's just trying to talk about me."
Bai Qingchi bit her lip, looking extremely aggrieved.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe Bai Qingchi. Su Jin thought so, but Zheng Lin believed Bai Qingchi's words.
Zheng Lin questioned Su Jin: "You hit her while I was buying porridge?"
Su Jin was quite surprised: "You believe what she said?"
"Shouldn't we believe him?" Zheng Lin looked coldly at Su Jin. "Qingchi never lies."
Does that mean she's a liar?
Su Jin thought back to when the two of them were together ten years ago.
She admitted that she used to tell him little lies often, but so much time has passed and she has changed.
"Okay, everything needs evidence. Look where she's injured. You can't just accuse me without proof."
Su Jin pointed at Bai Qingchi and glared angrily at Zheng Lin.
Bai Qingchi's face was pale, and she frowned. She couldn't move, so she could only ask Zheng Lin for help. "Brother Zheng Lin, roll up my sleeves."
Zheng Lin rolled up her sleeves.
Besides the old injuries from the car accident, there was also a patch of bright red skin on his arm, which was otherwise very white.
"When she came today, she probably thought there was something between me and her ex-husband. She didn't give me a chance to explain. She poured hot water on me and even hit me." Bai Qingchi looked at Zheng Lin with grievance, then leaned to the side and fell straight onto Zheng Lin's shoulder. She continued, "This isn't the first time. I'm just scared."
Zheng Lin caught her again, without intending to have any contact with her, and helped her into a more upright position.
After listening to Bai Qingchi's tearful account, Zheng Lin felt that it was indeed something Su Jin would do. She had always been eccentric and often got into fights during her school days.
While other women would call the police first when something happens, Su Jin would roll up her sleeves first.
Zheng Lin was surprised that, after all these years, Su Jin still hadn't made any progress.
He stared at her coldly. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Su Jin didn't want to explain to someone who didn't trust her; it would be futile anyway. She could repeat herself a thousand times and the other person still wouldn't believe her.
Su Jin raised her eyebrows arrogantly and simply took the blame, "That's right, I hit him, and I also poured hot water on him. Today it was just hot water, but next time, I don't know what I'll pour on him."
"Su Jin! Do you know what you're saying!" Zheng Lin grabbed Su Jin's wrist and pulled her forward. "Apologize to Qing Chi."
"I've already confessed, what I say is none of your business. You still want to force me to apologize to her? No way." Su Jin looked at the two of them with her head held high, her face clearly showing her dissatisfaction.
"Don't blame Su Jin." Bai Qingchi gently bit her lip and said, "She didn't do it on purpose. She just misunderstood me, that's why she got so angry."
She said that, but inwardly she was sneering. That morning, she wanted a drink of water, but her movements were too restricted, and she accidentally scalded herself while picking up the kettle.
Zheng Lin had already rang the call button, and at that moment the nurse came over and brought an ice pack to apply to Bai Qingchi's burned arm.
“No, she hurt you, and you’re still defending her like this. You’re too kind.” Zheng Lin held Bai Qingchi’s hand and said, “If she dares to hurt you again, just tell me, and I’ll gather the evidence and help you sue her. It can happen anytime.”
Su Jin: "?"
Su Jin was furious: They just got their marriage certificate, and now they're suing her? Fine, just wait until Qingchi pushes you into the sea—that's her specialty!
"If you sue me, it won't sound good to others, and you'll lose all face."
“I’m not afraid of losing face if you don’t apologize or admit your mistake. I’ll withdraw the lawsuit only when you apologize to Qingchi.”
The two argued fiercely and remained deadlocked for a moment.
Su Jin gritted her teeth in anger, while Zheng Lin remained silent with a cold face.
"Applying ice for a while will help. Just be more careful next time." The nurse left, leaving only the three of them in the ward.
"No need, really no need to sue her." Bai Qingchi shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Give her another chance."
Bai Qingchi's face was deathly pale as she looked at Su Jin, pressuring her: "You just need to apologize to me. I only need an apology."
“Qingchi has already shown you leniency. If you apologize, we will forgive and forget the wrongdoings you committed in the past. Otherwise, even if Qingchi doesn’t hold it against you, I will hand everything over to the police.”
Zheng Lin looked at Su Jin with a completely unfamiliar gaze.
He adjusted his glasses, revealing a cold glint in his icy eyes.
“When she dies, I will naturally go to her grave to apologize to her,” Su Jin said with a hint of pride in her eyes, “but as long as she is alive, she will never receive my apology.”
“It seems you’re determined and won’t repent,” Zheng Lin immediately took out his phone and called Assistant Gao.
His eyes were fixed on Su Jin as he said to the other side, "Bai Qingchi is suing Su Jin. Go and prepare."
The assistant on the other end was completely confused. "Boss, are you having a language disorder?" Can the boss's wife also be sued?
"Do as I say." After saying that, Zheng Lin quickly hung up the phone.
"Don't be like this, Su Jin. I know I've been wrong all these years, and it's understandable that you hate me." Bai Qingchi bit her lip anxiously.
After thinking it over calmly, Su Jin realized that Bai Qingchi was only trying to gain more sympathy from Zheng Lin by slandering her; what she really wanted was Zheng Lin himself.
Conversely, she deliberately refused to give her that opportunity.
Su Jin took a deep breath, changed her strategy, and with a more serious expression, took Zheng Lin's arm.
"Everything I've done is just to stay by your side. As your wife, isn't it natural for me to be jealous of other women around you? I love you more than anything."
Zheng Lin: "......"
Bai Qingchi: "..."
"As long as I love you a little more each day, one day you will only love me." Su Jin kept chattering, bringing out all sorts of cheesy lines from her mind.
Zheng Lin was used to Su Jin's dramatic behavior.
These words still stirred his heart.
Two seconds later, he came to his senses and thought, "Childish."
At this moment, Su Jin received a call from Zheng Youguo. She deliberately turned on speakerphone so that others could hear it as well.
Su Jin opened her palm and held the phone flat.
Zheng Youguo's voice asked, "Have you found them?"
Su Jin: "Found him, he's right next to me. He's with his friends and doesn't really want to go back."
Zheng Youguo roared, "Zheng Lin, you bastard! Get back here right now!"
With his father urging him to come, Zheng Lin could only say goodbye to Bai Qingchi and tell her to take good care of herself.
