Su Jin was searching for a way to recover her memories, and Song Leilei's arrival eased her tense nerves a little.
After chatting about some gossip, Song Leilei finally got to the point, "The cooling-off period has been so long, have you forgiven him?"
"I won't forgive." Su Jin clicked on a song in her music player. Only when the music started did she feel less swayed by her emotions.
Su Jin continued, "You don't know, he didn't come home so late that day, and Bai Qingchi answered the phone. I even heard the sound of running water, so he must have been taking a shower. Under what circumstances would someone take a shower? Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous."
Song Leilei was unaware of this, and her emotions were instantly ignited. "This is outrageous! This man is no good!"
So, instead of saying a good word for Zheng Lin, Song Leilei joined Su Jin in scolding him for the entire afternoon.
As they were leaving, Zheng Lin saw them out and asked, "So? Has Xiao Jin changed her attitude at all?"
"You bastard!" Song Leilei, known for her straightforward nature, immediately launched into a tirade. "She won't forgive you? No way. What a lousy project! I wouldn't act in any of those dramas. You're so utterly despicable, I'd never work with a company like yours!"
Xu Jingzhi was also shocked. How could Song Leilei's expression change so quickly?
And he hurled so many harsh words, who could stand hearing that?
"Song Leilei." Xu Jingzhi couldn't help but worry, so he pulled Song Leilei back a little, afraid that she would anger Zheng Lin and suffer the consequences.
With half his body blocking her view, Xu Jingzhi asked her face to face, "What happened?"
Song Leilei, pressing on Xu Jingzhi's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, peeked her head over his shoulder, and said to Zheng Lin, "Xiao Jin told me everything. You and Bai Qingchi both..."
She was too embarrassed to continue after saying that.
Zheng Lin frowned, his eyes sharp. "What? Explain yourself clearly. Tell me exactly what she told you."
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, which Xu Jingzhi noticed when he turned around. "You'll scare Song Leilei like this. Let's talk this out. I'll handle it."
Song Leilei was terrified, and Xu Jingzhi led her to the side.
"You'll suffer a great loss sooner or later with a personality like yours." Xu Jingzhi said with a worried look. "What, are you scared? You dare to call others bastards? I'll tell you to talk less and stop showing off your meager intelligence."
“I…” Song Leilei puffed out her cheeks in shock, “I was just so angry. How was I supposed to know that you really shouldn’t step on a tiger’s tail?”
Xu Jingzhi sighed, "You shouldn't be friends with Su Jin. I've told you what kind of person Zheng Lin is."
He whispered in her ear, "Even dogs would avoid him."
I said this just to ease her fear.
Song Leilei chuckled. After hesitating for a while, she said to Xu Jingzhi, "Actually... it's Zheng Lin who slept with Bai Qingchi... you know what I mean. This is infuriating to hear. The thought of my husband doing the same thing in the future makes me even more upset."
Xu Jingzhi poked Song Leilei's forehead with his hand, "What are you feeling upset about? You're not even fully grown yet, and you're already sympathizing with other people's joys and sorrows all day long. Filming has ruined your brain."
Song Leilei covered her forehead and snorted at him in protest.
As Zheng Lin's friend, Xu Jingzhi felt there must be some misunderstanding.
“Zheng Lin wouldn’t do something like that. You get in the car first.” Xu Jingzhi opened the car door and let Song Leilei get in first.
He went to communicate with Zheng Lin himself.
After telling Zheng Lin all this, he patted Zheng Lin on the shoulder and said, "As a man, don't give your wife any chance to misunderstand you. You should get rid of those other women around you as soon as possible."
Zheng Lin: "......"
That evening, Zheng Lin instructed his assistant, Gao, to investigate the matter.
Assistant Gao was given a critical mission and went to Bai Qingchi's place before returning.
Assistant Gao: "She said she didn't know anything. No matter how we asked, we couldn't get any information out of her. But if she really did something behind the scenes, she definitely wouldn't admit it. You weren't there that day, and the boss's wife stayed at home the whole time, unless... she called."
Assistant Gao's IQ suddenly jumped to 280!
Zheng Lin was jolted awake by those words; he had forgotten to put his phone down that day.
He checked his call log and, sure enough, found Xiao Jin's call log from that night.
Zheng Lin gripped his phone, feeling uneasy. So, during this time, Xiao Jin thought he was cheating on her, which explained why she was so cold towards him.
Su Jin's room was locked every day to prevent Zheng Lin from sneaking in.
To explain, Zheng Lin had no choice but to climb onto the balcony.
Su Jin was reading in bed when Zheng Lin waved at her while looking at the glass door, but Su Jin ignored him.
She turned to the side, with her back to the balcony.
When she ignored him, Zheng Lin called her, but she blocked him.
Zheng Lin: "......"
Zheng Lin called out towards the balcony: "Gao Zixin!"
"Yes, sir." Assistant Gao looked up at him. "What are your orders, boss?"
"Bring me a blanket and a pillow."
Assistant Gao: "...Boss, you want to sleep on the balcony? Then don't cover yourself with a blanket. Your wife will definitely feel sorry for you if you don't. I'll go get you a pillow. You can use your 'bitter trick' and I'll go and lament my misfortune a few times."
"A self-inflicted injury scheme..." Zheng Lin pondered, thinking it was worth a try.
In the room, Su Jin received a message from Assistant Gao.
[Assistant Gao]: Boss lady, please give the boss a chance to explain. I want to leave work.
[Assistant Gao]: Please have pity on this working-class person. I've been staying here for several days in a row and haven't been able to go home. My elderly mother and father are waiting for me at home. If I don't go back, I'll be unfilial.
Su Jin glanced towards the balcony.
Zheng Lin was lying on the balcony, facing her, and looking at her.
Su Jin: "......"
She got out of bed and glared at him angrily.
Zheng Lin immediately sat up, hugged his pillow, and put on the expression of an obedient husband.
Su Jin frowned in disgust, but opened her mouth without making a sound.
Zheng Lin pressed his ear against the glass door, but couldn't hear what she was saying. He gestured for her to open the door.
Su Jin shook her head and ruthlessly pulled the curtain shut.
Faced with such indifferent treatment, Zheng Lin blinked twice in despair and resignedly lay down on the spot.
That night, both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts.
At three in the morning, the outdoor temperature is at its coldest.
Su Jin turned over, got out of bed, and pulled back the curtain, finding Zheng Lin already asleep.
"You'll freeze to death."
Despite her words, she held the blanket, gently opened the door, and carefully covered him with the blanket.
Just as I was about to get up, without noticing, my hand was suddenly grabbed.
Su Jin turned around and realized she had fallen for a trap. "You weren't asleep? How despicable."
