The two chose a table against the wall and sat down.
Su Jin had already prepared her lies when she came. Today, she was using the pretext of Zheng Lin's matter to secretly try to get He Ru to help her get that money back.
“I really want a divorce, but Zheng Lin has never agreed,” Su Jin said. “I know you two love each other, but if he doesn’t agree to a divorce, you can’t get a marriage certificate and become a legal couple. I feel very embarrassed to be stuck between you two.”
He Ru glanced disdainfully at the desserts and coffee, then rolled her eyes at Su Jin sitting opposite her, defending Zheng Lin: "Brother Zheng Lin has his own considerations. I believe he will divorce you sooner or later."
Su Jin: "I think the same way you do. So, I finally know why he won't divorce me. I need your help with this, which is also helping yourself."
She leaned forward slightly, "Our relationship ended two years ago."
"What is it? You're not thinking of using me to do something bad to Zheng Lin, are you? If that's the case, then forget about it, I won't help you." He Ru didn't easily trust Su Jin; to her, Su Jin was her rival in love.
In the past, when she ate dinner she had prepared herself and ended up in the hospital emergency room, Zheng Lin, in front of his family, even spoke up for Su Jin and didn't hesitate to argue with He Rong.
So how could she believe Su Jin's words?
Su Jin discovered that He Ru was only a little love-struck when it came to Zheng Lin, but He Ru was more rational than Bai Qingchi and Zhao Qiyuan, and not easily deceived.
He Ru was quite clever; otherwise, she wouldn't have won He Rong's favor and become He Rong's goddaughter.
Su Jin assured him, "It won't harm Zheng Lin, don't worry."
"Words are no proof. Why don't you tell me what you need my help with first, so I can hear it out?"
Su Jin: "Help me get my bank card back. I don't know where it is, but that card is very important to me. I left it at the Zheng family's house. If I can get the bank card back, he will have nothing to threaten me, and I can naturally go through legal procedures to divorce him."
“How would I know that the bank card you mentioned is yours? You’re trying to get a piece of the Zheng family’s money before the divorce, and the card belongs to Zheng Lin, right?” After careful consideration, He Ru raised her eyebrows triumphantly and said, “I won’t help you. Forget about it. I won’t do anything that would be detrimental to Zheng Lin. I’m not Bai Qingchi, I don’t have a brain.”
“That card is in my room, and my name is written on the back.” Su Jin continued, “Once I get my own things, I will leave naturally.”
He Ru picked up her coffee, took a sip, frowned, and spat it back into the cup. "What a taste! It's awful. I told you, this is no place for afternoon tea. They have no taste."
Su Jin: "Then I'll order you another drink. You might not like this flavor."
"No need." He Ru looked at her with disdain: "Anyway, I didn't really come here to have tea and chat with you. What you said is fine with me."
He Ru took out a voice recorder from under the table, held it between his fingers, and showed it to her.
“I’ve already recorded it. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll play this recording for Zheng Lin. So you’d better not refuse to divorce me after you get the bank card.” He Ru crushed the cake on the plate with a spoon. “You have to keep your word.”
Su Jin smiled calmly: "Okay."
She looked at the voice recorder and said, "This looks like Zheng Qi's voice recorder."
“He gave it to me, saying he felt he didn’t have anything else to give to his sister-in-law.” He Ru put down her spoon, no longer looking at the cake she had ruined, and looked at Su Jin, saying, “I didn’t want to accept it at first, but that kid insisted that I accept it. Don’t think that just because he calls you sister-in-law, he really considers you his sister-in-law. He’s just a sweet talker.”
The implication is that Zheng Qi treats both of them as his sisters-in-law, but He Ru received a gift from Zheng Qi that Su Jin didn't receive.
Su Jin understood and smiled knowingly, not caring much about these things.
Originally, what Su Jin wanted was a divorce, to get rid of everything from the past as soon as possible, because her child could not come back. She probably couldn't forgive herself and felt that she couldn't be at peace with herself as she was in the past.
There was a huge crack in her heart.
She's lost her child, so what makes her think she can be happy? Besides, she and Zheng Lin don't really trust each other, making it difficult for them to get back together.
After taking He Ru home, Su Jin contacted Song Leilei to tell her about joining the film crew in three days.
However, when she received the news, Song Leilei was still in a hospital on an island.
“Three days, but Xu Jingzhi’s injury hasn’t healed yet.” Song Leilei said softly through the door of the ward, “Xiao Jin, you are an investor. Can you ask them to postpone the start of filming? If I leave now, it would be very unethical to leave Xu Jingzhi here alone.”
Su Jin's voice came through the phone: "The turn-on time has been set, and it's not something I can change at will."
"Okay, see you in three days." Song Leilei had no choice. She hadn't expected to encounter so much trouble when she came, and who knew she would stay on the island for so long.
As a result, Song Leilei had no choice but to process the transfer procedures for Xu Jingzhi.
"I don't want to be transferred to another hospital, I want to be discharged," Xu Jingzhi insisted.
The doctor lifted his shirt and glanced at the wound: "It's healing quite quickly, but I still recommend that you continue to be hospitalized for observation. Let's transfer you to a hospital in City A. I'll go and arrange it for you right now."
Xu Jingzhi never listened to anyone. As soon as the doctor turned and left, he pulled out the IV himself. "I get IV drips every day, how can I be so fragile?"
Seeing how rude he was to her, Song Leilei pushed him back onto the bed.
Xu Jingzhi was fine until her pressing on his wound aggravated it. He frowned but didn't say anything. He didn't want her to worry.
Song Leilei didn't notice anything unusual about him and continued to scold him: "Your team has already told you to continue your leave, so don't think about being discharged for no reason. You have to listen to the doctor."
"Please don't take care of me. I'm not meant to be taken care of. I've already bought the plane tickets, and we'll be going home soon." Xu Jingzhi didn't bring much with him when he came to the island. He just grabbed his phone and charging cable and pulled Song Leilei away.
Song Leilei was being dragged along by him at a fast pace, and she couldn't keep up.
Song Leilei: "Your hospital bill hasn't been refunded yet."
"No, it's not worth it. How much money could it possibly have?" Xu Jingzhi dragged her along, continuing to stride forward. "Now that I have money, you can walk around like you own the place. Need to borrow money? I'll give it to you right away."
"You think you're a crab, walking sideways."
Song Leilei kept turning back, heartbroken over the extra money she had paid for the hospital stay.
She was being dragged along in a sliding motion until, at a bend, she bumped into Xu Jingzhi's back.
Song Leilei touched her forehead and complained, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected you were faking illness. You don't look like a sick person at all."
“Yes, I think you’re more like a patient than I am, and you need my care more.” Xu Jingzhi turned around and pinched the soft flesh on Song Leilei’s cheeks with both hands.
His heart softened, and he lowered his head slightly, bringing his face closer to hers. "You've even gained a little weight these past few days. See, it's me who's taking such good care of you. What would you do if you left me?"
At this point, he jokingly said, "Why don't you become a daughter-in-law of the Xu family?"
