"Then I wish you good luck in the auction in advance." Su Jin turned and entered the elevator, still worried that Zheng Lin would follow, so she pressed the elevator button several more times.
Wang Keyi went to her uncle's house, carrying pastries that her mother had asked her to bring.
He glanced at the man with his legs propped up on the sofa; it was none other than Dr. Wang from the Zheng family.
Following Wang Keyi's gaze, his uncle hurriedly introduced, "Oh, it's just in time that your brother is back. It's been fifteen years since you two last met, hasn't it?"
The man on the sofa changed the channel with the remote control, glanced at the screen, and exclaimed in surprise, "So you're the little kid from back then. Not bad, you've grown up so much. Come sit here and let's chat."
He suddenly shouted, "Dad, you go ahead with your work, I want to talk to my brother for a bit."
"Alright, you two chat." Uncle Wang tied on his apron and went into the kitchen.
Wang Keyi had no interest in her brother, whom she hadn't seen for fifteen years, but felt a little annoyed that her brother was working for Young Master Zheng.
He sat down next to Wang Jiache with a worried look on his face.
Wang Jiache put his leg down from the coffee table, then casually wiped the coffee table with his hand. "It's my own home, don't mind."
Wang Keyi: "How did you meet Zheng Lin?"
Is it important to you?
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t know each other, but you are my uncle’s son.” Wang Keyi said worriedly, “Young Master Zheng has tormented me for two days. If you work with him, we can’t be brothers.”
"After all these years, the first thing you do when we meet is force your brother to take sides." Wang Jiache grabbed a handful of candy from the candy jar and said, "You're much bolder than you were when you were a kid. I happen to have some questions for you too."
He opened his palm. "Want some candy?"
Wang Keyi ignored him.
"Fine, I won't eat it then." Wang Jiache popped a piece into his mouth and said, "You like Su Jin, huh? You don't need to answer, I can tell. But do you know that she had stomach surgery?"
He leaned his face closer. "What illness did she have that required stomach surgery?"
“You…” Wang Keyi had a bad feeling. “Where did you hear that? She hasn’t had surgery. I know you’re trying to find out information for Zheng Lin. But I can’t be with Sister Su Jin 24/7. She keeps asking me. What could I possibly know?”
Wang Jiache had already understood something from this attitude: the more they tried to cover it up, the more it proved that there was a secret hidden behind it.
Since he's so resistant to answering, Su Jin must have suffered from some serious illness.
They still want to hide it? The younger brother is just too young.
Sometimes, when asking a question, it's not so much about the answer you give, but rather about your attitude.
......
The hotel room.
Zheng Lin drank a glass of wine while wearing a bathrobe.
Gazing at the night view, he answered the phone.
After listening to the other person say a couple of sentences, he was stunned for a moment.
"Young Master Zheng." The person on the other end of the phone tried to wake him up.
Zheng Lin rubbed his eyes with his left hand. "Are you sure what kind of surgery she had?"
Wang Jiache: "Judging from his attitude, I think it will be a major operation. We guessed that it was caused by cancer."
Zheng Lin thought about the symptoms Su Jin had exhibited at that time and described them to Wang Jiache.
Wang Jiache said definitively, "Then I'm very sure it's stomach cancer. If this kind of treatment is performed, the child definitely won't survive."
Zheng Lin frowned, recalling Su Jin's reactions every time the child was mentioned before, and it all matched up perfectly.
It was clear that Su Jin was very sad at that time.
Therefore, it wasn't that Su Jin actively wanted to abort the child, but rather that she had to terminate the pregnancy due to her illness.
"Thank you for telling me all this. I'll find out the rest myself." Zheng Lin put down his phone and stared blankly for a moment.
The next day, after finishing her scenes, Su Jin left the film set and went to Song Leilei's film set.
Song Leilei was also filming here. The two film crews were not far apart, so Su Jin went to visit the set.
Song Leilei rarely gets to play the female lead, and she's currently filming a romantic scene with the male lead actor. The two are embracing affectionately, and Song Leilei is nestled in the male lead's arms, reciting cheesy lines.
Su Jin took out her phone, opened the video recording function, and recorded this scene.
She has a bad intention.
She then sent the message to Xu Jingzhi, who was sitting in the police station when jealousy suddenly fell from the sky.
Su Jin sighed: I'm so kind.
Sent successfully.
She looked up and saw Song Leilei running towards her, followed by Gao Wei.
As soon as Su Jin's hand was linked with Song Leilei's, Gao Wei sneered, "Leilei, how many times have I told you? There are no true friends in the industry. You finally got to be the lead actress, you should try to build good relationships with the other actors in the same production."
"You're deliberately trying to disgust me," Su Jin said bluntly.
"Who's disgusting you? I'm just teaching my artists how to behave. Not all artists are like you, without an agent to guide them, fighting alone on their own." Gao Wei pretended to scratch his head and said, "Now that I think about it, your most famous work is... your scandal with the second young master of the Zheng Group. I won't allow my artists to get married during the peak of their careers."
Song Leilei disliked people talking about her best friend like that. "I'm not famous either, I don't have any representative works yet. It's a good thing for artists to have popularity. Someone like me who has no popularity at all, can't you reflect on yourself? Why am I, who was brought up by you, still so lukewarm?"
Gao Wei didn't expect Song Leilei to question her like that; it was clearly a doubt about her ability as a manager.
The artists she manages actually doubt her professional abilities.
Gao Wei, a woman who cares a lot about her image, couldn't stand such criticism. She pointed at Song Leilei and said, "You're useless. I've put so much effort into you these past few years, finding you a lot of variety shows. You're incompetent and can't be helped. Who can you blame?"
Song Leilei's eyes reddened as she was told, "The variety shows you found for me all had very low viewership. My scenes were always cut short, and even the TV dramas you found for me were small web series where I played the second female lead with awkward lines and an awkward plot."
Gao Wei: "This time, your drama is a proper TV series, and you're the female lead. If it weren't for me..."
Before Gao Wei could continue, Song Leilei interrupted her through gritted teeth: "This opportunity to star in this film was introduced to me by a friend. It has absolutely nothing to do with you."
The investor in this play is Wudu Group, and it was Su Jin who decided that Song Leilei would be the female lead. Gao Wei had absolutely no credit for it.
Gao Wei always picks shows that others don't want to be on and gives them to Song Leilei, and he always withholds Song Leilei's money. There are several episodes for which he still hasn't paid her, and even after repeated reminders, he just gives perfunctory replies and still doesn't pay her afterwards.
Song Leilei had also had enough of this humiliation.
