Chapter 144 Apology Misunderstood



Su Jin pouted, "Just admit it, that day I only saw you, standing suspiciously outside my door. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Zheng Lin's expression turned serious. "There was a man wearing a white baseball cap parked at your door. If you don't believe me, you can check the security footage to see if this person is there."

Su Jin's focus was different, and this statement just proved that Zheng Lin had been near her house for a long time that day, which is why he saw another person. The man in the white baseball cap he mentioned might have just happened to be passing by.

He really is a pervert.

“I will go and see.” Su Jin stood on the weeds, looking at the desolate land. “Why does your house have a grave-visiting atmosphere? Are you sure you don’t need to clear the weeds before you stay here tonight? You’ll have to invite a Taoist priest over. It’s really creepy.”

"However, if possible, I still suggest you choose a wedding house. You own many properties, so choosing one with good feng shui would be good for both of you."

Zheng Lin: "...Shut up."

Su Jin truly shut up and remained silent. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and it would be impolite for her to continue speaking.

That night, the haunted villa was renovated overnight. The next day, when Su Jin drove by, she was surprised to find that the villa's exterior had been completely transformed.

Su Jin got out of the car and looked through the gate at the scene inside.

The courtyard was full of workers, and even Assistant Gao lay flat on the ground.

"This is torture, isn't it?" Su Jin frowned, feeling very sorry for the rows of people. Everyone looked exhausted, clearly having been maliciously exploited. Zheng Lin, that evil capitalist!

Su Jin made slurring sounds, trying to wake Assistant Gao.

Hearing the sound of a balloon deflating, Assistant Gao turned over and continued dreaming on his side.

Assistant Wang stood behind Su Jin, holding an umbrella to shield her from the sun. "This place seems pretty nice."

“You weren’t here yesterday. We could have played horror and supernatural murder mystery games here. We could have just hired a film crew to shoot a ghost movie without any post-production editing.” Su Jin said proudly, “Luckily, I’m brave and not afraid of ghosts, otherwise I would have been scared out of my wits.”

Assistant Wang: "Should we put this thing down?"

His hand reached out from behind him, holding a Bagua mirror.

This was prepared by Chairman Su yesterday, supposedly to ward off evil spirits for the two engaged Zhengs.

Su Jin took the Bagua mirror and tied it to the gate.

It was originally hung up yesterday and it matched the house perfectly, but after the renovation today, it feels very out of place.

"That's settled then, let's go." Hanging this up might even cure his mental illness. Su Jin thought to herself.

As soon as Su Jin left, Zheng Lin walked into the courtyard and squinted at the sight of the bright object.

As Zheng Lin approached, he opened the door, took down the object, and saw the Bagua diagram on the other side. His face immediately darkened.

He took a picture of the Bagua mirror with his phone and sent it to Su Jin.

Zheng Lin: "You released it?"

[Su Jin]: "Since you've already bought it, even though your house doesn't look like a haunted house anymore, just hang it up. People coming in and out will feel very safe."

Zheng Lin moved the Bagua mirror to a different spot, placing it in front of Assistant Gao's chest, and then sat down in the courtyard.

He took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and gazed at the path outside the gate.

The new drama hasn't started filming yet, but Su Jin has already taken on one or two variety shows, flying to other places during the day and coming back at night.

When Su Jin returned home that evening, she went to the security room to check the surveillance footage.

After watching for a while, I saw a man in a white baseball cap appear. He looked around with a box in his arms before putting it down and leaving.

As soon as the man in the white baseball cap left, Zheng Lin appeared in the frame.

Zheng Lin squatted in front of the box and took out a Swiss Army knife, seemingly wanting to open it.

Just then, the door opened, and before Zheng Lin could unpack the box, Su Jin nearly bumped into him as she opened the door.

"Stop. That's enough." Su Jin wasn't interested in the surveillance footage behind her. From this vantage point, it was obvious who the real pervert was.

They misunderstood Zheng Lin and even called him a pervert to his face.

Even if he's her ex-husband, he shouldn't be wronged like this.

So, from the moment Su Jin entered the room, she was thinking about what to give Zheng Lin to apologize for. Thinking about it now, this misunderstanding was really an insult to her dignity.

If someone else had called her a pervert, she would have cursed them until their hands trembled.

Half an hour later, Su Jin visited Zheng Lin again with gifts.

At eleven o'clock, Zheng Lin was still working in his study. He heard the doorbell ring but ignored it. He was used to having a maid answer the door.

The study window was open, and the doorbell kept ringing loudly.

Zheng Lin looked up from his laptop and, upon seeing the decor of the study, realized that he wasn't at the Zheng family manor. Everything had been so rushed that he had even forgotten to hire a maid.

He was wearing a dark blue bathrobe. He stood at the window and glanced out. He saw that the person standing outside the door was Su Jin. She was carrying something and was sneezing in the cold wind.

Outside the gate, seeing that no one came to open it, Su Jin immediately put her things down at the door, turned around and got into the car.

Zheng Lin rushed downstairs. As soon as he opened the door, Su Jin, who had been waiting outside, had disappeared. He looked down at the paper bag on the ground.

When I picked it up, I saw that there was a very large box inside.

Upon opening the box again, I found that the contents were very simple, consisting entirely of men's watches, probably more than ten in total.

He wears watches frequently and has a subtle impression of the prices of these brands, all of which are luxury watches worth tens or hundreds of millions.

Was this box of watches from various brands a gift for him?

Zheng Lin looked up and saw the car opposite him light up briefly. He squinted at the person in the driver's seat; it was Su Jin.

Su Jin thought Zheng Lin might not be home, so she turned the steering wheel to go home, but a figure suddenly appeared on her side, startling her.

I thought I had encountered that pervert in the white baseball cap.

Her palms were sweating, and her vision went black for a second because of nervousness. When her vision returned to normal, she could see the man's face clearly.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Zheng Lin.

Su Jin got out of the car and smiled, "These are my apologies to you."

"Chairman Su is getting more and more generous. Even a casual apology to her ex-husband is so extravagant." Zheng Lin's tone became increasingly sarcastic. "But if you want to apologize, I won't accept it."

Giving him gifts to make him forgive her for her unexplained disappearances over the past two years and for running away from the wedding is impossible.

Zheng Lin doesn't lack these things, and he would never be bought off by such vulgar material possessions.

Clearly, Su Jin was unaware that her apology had been misunderstood.

She wanted to apologize for saying he was a pervert.

Their thoughts were racing on different channels, like two straight lines that could never intersect, never colliding on the same frequency.

Su Jin: "Although I was wrong, I was just confused for a moment. I hope you can understand."
