After saying that, a fleeting hint of disdain flashed in Zheng Lin's eyes. When he looked at the crowd again, he put his arm around her waist: "I love her, without a doubt."
Hearing this, Su Jin's palms started to sweat. She glanced at him guiltily, thinking to herself: "You're lying through your teeth, Young Master Zheng."
Ten years had passed, but she was the one who broke up with him. When they met again, there was no instant connection; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Zheng Lin needed a wife, but she needed to fight for his inheritance.
He Rong fell silent. Her son had already said so much; what else could she say?
She glared at her husband with resentment.
Zheng Youguo: "......"
"What are you looking at? Your son is just like you, falling in love with someone so easily." He Rong's words were loaded with meaning, deliberately provoking Zheng Youguo. In the end, she was still blaming him for his infidelity back then.
Zheng Youguo: "What does this have to do with me? Besides, it's been ten years, which shows that my son is loyal. He's the same person ten years ago and ten years later."
He Rong was so angry that she slapped Zheng Youguo on the back.
Just when Su Jin thought this little commotion was about to pass, Xiao Gao, the instigator who had fallen to the ground, moved again and shouted, "You know what love is! What love is! You don't understand. Boss, you're lying!"
Assistant Gao stood up unsteadily, then fell flat on her face with a thud. "The boss hit me again!"
Zheng Lin gripped his glasses tightly, wishing he could break Gao Zixin's bones right now; today had ruined his plans time and time again.
Zheng Lin: "He's just drunk, ignore him."
Zhao Qiyuan had somehow arrived. She glanced at the drunk man snoring on the ground, then disdainfully kicked his foot away with her high heels. "Auntie, I can vouch for the fact that there was no love between them. Their relationship has broken down."
Zheng Youguo looked at them all, none of them calming down. He had just been hit by his wife, and he was taking his anger out on her: "How dare you come here? You're not welcome here."
Zhao Qiyuan's eyes darted around. "I heard it with my own ears that day, there's no mistake."
"That means you have no evidence," Su Jin said, adopting the air of the hostess at the banquet, glaring at Zhao Qiyuan. "You just said it casually, isn't that slandering me and Zheng..."
She suddenly stopped, and, in her habit of calling him by his name, said, "My fiancé, what are you up to? Everyone's watching."
Zhao Qiyuan: "Fine, Su Jin. You have the ability to prove your relationship. If you can't, you can't say what I heard is false. Anyone can talk the talk. Who saw what happened ten years ago?"
Su Jin: "That's clearly bandit logic!"
Zhao Qiyuan said firmly, "You can't prove it, because there's a rift in your relationship!"
“Who says there’s no way to prove it?” Zheng Lin said, cupping Su Jin’s face in his hands and lowering his head.
His broad back obscured most of her figure.
From everyone's perspective, they kissed!
Immediately, applause erupted.
Su Jin: "..." There are so many people joining in the fun.
Su Jin looked closely at the man's handsome face; their lips were only a centimeter apart.
The image froze at that moment.
She dared not make a sound or move, afraid that others would see through the fake kiss.
"At least move your hand a little, don't you? You didn't react at all. You were once a married woman, and even if you're not good at acting, aren't you? How come you can't act?"
The man's voice was low.
Su Jin immediately bristled.
You can question anything about her, but you absolutely cannot question her acting skills!
She's never received a script with a kissing scene, but she's incredibly talented!
Su Jin glared at him intently, her eyes almost turning into cross-eyed eyes.
She reached up to his narrow waist and secretly pinched it hard, her nails digging into his flesh. She curled her lips into a smile and said coquettishly, "Oh, you're so naughty, you ate all my lipstick."
Zheng Youguo, who was standing nearby, almost choked on the cake. He Rong patted his chest twice and said, "This is indecent and immoral!"
Despite being beaten, Zheng Youguo still wore a fatherly smile, thinking to himself: "Youth is truly wonderful."
Zheng Lin frowned, and his gaze actually drifted downwards, landing on her luscious lips.
She's a woman who always seeks revenge; she can't stand being bullied in the slightest and will always have to snap back if you say anything.
"Stop pretending!"
Zhao Qiyuan still wouldn't give up. She clearly heard it that day. She dressed up so beautifully not to watch them show off their fake affection. They couldn't get engaged!
He stormed off, completely unaware that someone was staggering behind him.
Just as she got close to the two men, her foot was kicked hard.
"You dare kick me! How much did my boss pay you? I, Gao Zixin, will pay double! My boss can hit me and yell at me, but you can't!"
Zhao Qiyuan looked terrified, her scream caught in her throat, and she stumbled forward, reaching out to grab something to steady herself, but instead pushed it away with a palm.
Zheng Lin felt a sudden push from behind. Without hesitation, he grabbed Su Jin's waist and kissed her.
Su Jin: "......" This person was so cunning. I thought he had changed a bit, but I didn't expect him to still be such a sly fox!
Her body swayed slightly and she fell backward.
The arms around her waist were strong and tight, making her back ache.
"Zheng Guang!" Zheng Youguo looked coldly at his eldest son, who had been doing nothing, and glared at him for failing to control his woman.
Zheng Guang watched the show with his arms crossed, treating Zhao Qiyuan like an unleashed puppy he could throw out and howl a few times.
He doesn't care if people hurt or bite him.
However, the puppy couldn't produce any evidence and could only howl, which made him very unhappy.
Zheng Guang strode forward and grabbed Zhao Qiyuan's wrist. "Enough! If you've made a scene, go back home and stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Zhao Qiyuan felt dizzy and lightheaded, and two streams of blood flowed from her nose. Looking at the two people embracing on the balcony, her head lolled to the side and she fainted.
......
After the engagement banquet.
Su Jin pulled Zheng Lin into the car, glaring at him several times with obvious displeasure.
I didn't want to leave in the same car as him, but there were so many eyes watching them as they said goodbye. This lovey-dovey drama wasn't over yet.
Su Jin drove the car a short distance and parked it on the side of the road.
Su Jin rested her hands on the steering wheel, glancing irritably at the rearview mirror. "What happened just now, don't you have anything to say to me? It's one thing for you to take advantage of me behind my back, but with so many people around..."
Zheng Lin said casually, "It was an accident, there's no good explanation."
Unexpected, unexpected, he actually dared to call it an accident.
His action was not an accident at all!
It was clearly intentional!
“Okay, I’m not that kind of girl who would just accept a kiss,” Su Jin glanced at the rearview mirror, “but you have to remember, you owe me.”
"I owe you a kiss? Or... lots of kisses?"
"What are you thinking about? You owe me a favor, and I'll help you out sometime in the future."
That's what they said, but Su Jin's face has been red ever since.
She felt a little guilty for being useless; if only she had dated more men in the past, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
