The next morning, both Su Jin and Song Leilei received a call from the production company to sign contracts. Song Leilei was very excited and had a voice call with Su Jin.
"I've become the second female lead! Xiao Jin, your mouth must be blessed!" Song Leilei laughed heartily, her laughter becoming increasingly infectious. "You're the female lead, and I'm the second female lead, wow! And I heard that Director Li was replaced too, haha, I've asked around, the investors weren't satisfied with the female lead, and then they accidentally saw our photos, and immediately decided to cast us, and even increased the investment!"
Su Jin already knew; she was the investor, and she was the one who issued the orders.
Since it's all unfair, there's no need to be so particular.
Su Jin pretended to be surprised, saying, "Oh dear, Director Li has been replaced too? It seems the investors have good judgment. They must think we have a bright future to have chosen us so quickly!"
Song Leilei: "Hahahaha, yes, that's right! But Gao Wei will also be coming to the crew later, so you'll see her often in the future. I really hope you can get rid of her control soon."
Su Jin: "Did you know that I was the investor?"
Song Leilei: "What! Oh right, I forgot you're the chairman."
At that moment, a black Bentley was parked outside the villa.
Zheng Lin hesitated whether to ring the doorbell. He had found out Su Jin's whereabouts yesterday and was thinking of waiting for her to come home on her own. But his mind was in a mess last night, and he found himself here without realizing it this morning.
After all, it's unsafe for women to live alone outside, that's the reason he gave himself.
Just as Zheng Lin was about to press the button, the door opened from the inside.
Su Jin came out carrying a bag of trash. When she saw Zheng Lin's face, she immediately handed the trash bag to him and then quickly turned around and closed the door.
Zheng Lin looked helplessly at the bag of trash in his hand, took a few long strides, and threw it into the nearest trash can.
He thought to himself: Why is she acting like a frightened rabbit?
Separated by the door, Su Jin hadn't figured out how to face Zheng Lin. In her nervousness, she had accidentally given him the trash bag. Ah, another embarrassing moment.
She seems to be paying more and more attention to him, which is not a good sign.
So she continued to hypnotize herself: falling in love with a man will bring her bad luck for the rest of her life.
Just as she was reciting it for the tenth time.
Beep—
The door was opened.
Su Jin was stunned, and the two looked at each other blankly. "How did you get in?"
Zheng Lin said, "The password is very simple, six 6s. We really don't have to worry about being thieved."
Su Jin was speechless for a moment. There were too many villas, and the passwords were all the same. She had forgotten how to change the passwords, so they had been like this for a long time.
"I forgot how to change my password." Su Jin felt embarrassed again.
"You weren't going on vacation, so why are you still in the same city?"
"No, I just got back today and stopped by on the way. I was worried about being robbed, so I came here to..." Su Jin had a sudden idea and followed up on what he had just said, "I came here to change the door lock password."
Zheng Lin walked upstairs, opened the door, and looked down at Su Jin: "You've even made the bed. Are you planning to stay here overnight and change the password hundreds of times?"
Su Jin licked her lips awkwardly, tilted her head back and said, "Since you already know, I'll just tell you directly. I didn't go on vacation because the weather in the country I was going to is too bad right now, and I suddenly don't want to go anymore."
“I don’t want to go,” Zheng Lin said, leaning on the stair railing. “Then why don’t we go home?”
“This is my home too. I own many properties, all over the place,” Su Jin said matter-of-factly. “I can go back to whichever home I want, and it’s none of your business.”
She thought Zheng Lin would continue arguing with her.
Su Jin was already trying to figure out how to win the argument, but then she saw him turn into another room and make a phone call.
"Uncle Wu, pack up my and my wife's things and move them all to Jinxiangyueting. Yes, my wife wants to spend some time alone with me."
Does he have no shame?
Who wants to spend time alone with him!
"I didn't say that, Uncle Wu, don't listen to him!" Su Jin ran upstairs, but by the time she got there, Zheng Lin had already hung up the phone.
“You can’t just say things like that.” Su Jin also took out her phone. “I’ll explain it to Uncle Wu right now.”
Zheng Lin looked at her coldly and walked closer to her.
The two were almost touching.
“What’s there to explain? We’re husband and wife. I should be wherever you are. If you suddenly leave home and separate from us, people will only think that something has happened to our marriage.”
The man took her phone and put it back in her room.
“We’re exchanging marriage, not love,” Su Jin said stubbornly, looking at him. “You want us to appear loving, but do you really still have feelings for me?”
She was just asking rashly, and she was a little angry.
A hint of disbelief flashed in Zheng Lin's eyes, probably because he hadn't expected her to ask that.
This threw him, who was usually calm and collected, into a bit of a panic.
"Who would fall into the same pit twice?" Zheng Lin stared at her fiercely. "You don't think our marriage is because I still love you, do you? How could I, the dignified Young Master Zheng, fall in love with a woman who has been married before?"
These words were so hurtful that Su Jin felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She reached out and touched Zheng Lin's heart, her nose stinging with tears. For once, she forgot all the brainwashing words she had been given.
"But you can't deny that you loved me back then. I came to you, asking you to help me fight for the inheritance, and all you wanted was my marriage in exchange. You say you had no feelings for me at all? I don't believe it. You defended me so much, was it also because you had no feelings for me?"
Hearing this, Zheng Lin was slightly stunned. He clearly saw the change in Su Jin's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.
But he quickly got used to the feeling.
He took her hand, moved it away from his heart, and gripped it tightly, saying sarcastically, "This way, I'll think you've fallen in love with me again. What, are you interested in this face I'm tired of seeing? Is it because after ten years, you find it fresh again?"
Su Jin: "......" He actually remembered the breakup reason I made up on the spot.
Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widened, and she suddenly shouted angrily, "No! Who would love you? You're a jerk!"
Zheng Lin frowned slightly, clearly disliking her calling him that.
"You, get out right now." Su Jin pointed towards the entrance, turned her face away and said, "Let's just pretend we're having a cold war. It's normal for newlyweds to argue. Anyway, I don't want to see you for the time being."
Seeing her so emotionally unstable, Zheng Lin suddenly had the idea of comforting her.
But he held back and left the house.
The two had a real argument. Su Jin opened a bottle of red wine and, unable to wait for it to breathe, drank straight from the bottle.
A good drink can wash away a thousand sorrows, but troubles are hard to shake.
If you tell him to leave, he actually leaves.
Su Jin ground her back teeth and punched the cushion twice. "Bastard!"
