Three days later, at the dinner table, Su Jin deliberately kept a distance between herself and He Ru. Even when fighting on the battlefield, there must be times when the fighting stops.
Recently, He Ru has been causing her to wake up early and have many dreams. She has discovered that He Ru's greatest strength is to tormenting others and driving them down the path of madness.
After receiving a phone call, He Ru glanced at Su Jin smugly and said, "I have a blind date this afternoon. Can you help me choose what to wear?"
This was at the dinner table, with other people present. Su Jin's intuition told her that He Ru was just making an excuse to find her alone in her room and provoke her.
She was exhausted. She looked at He Ru and smiled politely. "I don't have good taste. Let Mom choose for you. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect your blind date."
"Hehe, how could that be?" He Ru's smile froze. She glanced at He Rong sitting opposite her and deliberately looked at her with a mournful expression. "I also want to find a good marriage as soon as possible, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so unwilling to help me."
Su Jin looked incredulous and sighed inwardly: What is all this nonsense? Whoever is weaker is right? What era are we living in? Still playing this game? As long as you act weak enough, someone will speak up for you?
However, that is indeed the case.
He Rong said gently, "Xiao Jin, please help her. You young people can't be that bad at judging people."
When an elder asks for a favor, Su Jin finds it hard to refuse.
Recently, He Rong has been treating her very well, unlike before when she deliberately made things difficult for her. This relationship is hard-won, and she doesn't want to break it.
So Su Jin had no choice but to agree reluctantly, then turned her head to the side and glanced at He Ru, conveying her dissatisfaction with her eyes.
It was as if she was saying to He Ru: Let's see what tricks you're up to now.
"Let's go, I'm full. I'll go pick something for you now." Su Jin stood up, took He Ru's hand, and the word "generous" seemed to be clearly etched on her face.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." He Ru secretly pinched Su Jin's hand hard, her long and hard manicured nails digging into Su Jin's palm.
But He Ru still had a big smile on her face.
This is called a fox's fake smile.
Su Jin pursed her lips, took a deep breath, then pulled her hand away and took He Ru's arm, her nails digging into the flesh of He Ru's arm.
He Ru was wearing a sleeveless tank top today. Her skin was fair and delicate. When she was pinched like that, she couldn't help but cry out.
He Rong asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Youguo also looked at the two of them.
“Oh, a cockroach just crawled by. It must have been scared,” Su Jin replied before He Ru could.
How about: "......"
She glanced up at Su Jin, her cheekbones twitching slightly.
"Then Mom, I'll go upstairs with my sister first." Su Jin took He Ru's arm and walked into the corridor.
Watching the two of them getting along amicably, He Rong and Zheng Youguo both showed relieved expressions.
After they had walked a little further away, He Rong finally realized what was happening. She glanced under the dining table and said to the maid beside her, "Clean the whole place thoroughly later, so that no more bugs appear."
"Yes, madam."
Zheng Youguo asked the butler, "Why hasn't Zheng Lin returned yet? He's been gone for so many days. That cooperation shouldn't have taken this long to discuss."
Butler: "Master, the second young master said before he left that he wouldn't be back so soon, but he would come back before Madam's birthday to celebrate with her."
When He Rong heard that she was mentioned, she laughed and said, "It's rare that he still remembers that he has a mother like me. At least he has taken care of me a little. In the past, he would try his best to avoid coming home on my birthday. He had so many excuses, but he just wouldn't come home."
There was a hint of sadness in her smile, and as she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes.
Zheng Youguo put his arm around her shoulder and patted her, "Zheng Lin is a kind-hearted child. He still considers you his mother."
"By the way, any news about Zheng Guang? He hasn't called me once in so long. My adopted son is a bit closer to me now, but I don't know where my own son is off gallivanting." He Rong said with a sigh, "I don't know which woman has bewitched him again. If he likes any woman, he should bring her home to meet us. Anyway, I'm not satisfied with him and Zhao Qiyuan. It's better to get a divorce sooner rather than later. Then we can have Zheng Lin help us with the lawsuit and bring the child back to our Zheng family."
Zheng Youguo felt guilty; he hadn't told He Rong about Zheng Guang's imprisonment yet.
Zheng Youguo: "The matter of divorce is between the young couple. Although Zhao Qiyuan's past was not good, people can change. You have already lost your prejudice against Su Jin, so you can try to accept Zhao Qiyuan. After all, she had Xiaoxi with Zheng Guang."
He Rong: "Fine, then she has to bring the child back. We've gone there so many times, swallowing our pride, and we've always been turned away. Is that fair?"
"Then you have to put yourself in Zhao Qiyuan's shoes. Her husband ran away and is never home. She's a woman all alone, without a career. Her life is like a living hell, and she has to take care of a child on top of that." Zheng Youguo clapped his hands excitedly. "If it were you, could you be nice to your in-laws? People have hearts. If you really treat her well, she'll understand."
These were all things Zheng Lin had told him before.
Zheng Lin is someone who is considerate of other people's feelings and is also good at putting himself in their shoes.
He Rong is also a woman, and listening to Zhao Qiyuan's experiences from this perspective is indeed a bit heartbreaking.
He Rong coughed lightly, "Okay then. I'll go with you again tomorrow."
Along the corridor, Su Jin walked arm in arm with He Ru for a while, but before they reached the door of He Ru's temporary bedroom, He Ru shook off her arm.
"You're something else." He Ru looked around and, finding no one else, gave Su Jin a hard shove.
Caught off guard by the push, Su Jin crashed into the wall, her spine and shoulder blades aching painfully.
Fortunately, her head was lowered, so she didn't hit the back of her head.
Su Jin reached behind her back and touched her spine. "You know, if there had been a nail on the wall just now, and you had pushed me, that would have been murder."
Seeing that she was standing firmly, He Ru snorted coldly through her nostrils, "Don't try to fool me. Do you think I can push you to your death? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
She reached out and grabbed Su Jin's wrist, pulling her forward and leading her into her bedroom.
Su Jin went in and immediately lay down on the sofa, pressing her back bones with her hands. "If I become paralyzed, you'll be set for life."
"What?"
"If I become paralyzed on one side, I will definitely rely on you. You will serve me tea and water, empty my bedpan, and even turn me over and wipe my body."
How about: "......"
"Why do you speak so rudely?"
