This kneeling gesture drew the attention of everyone around.
Kneeling before the dignified Young Master Zheng is one thing.
Kneeling before others is impossible.
But under pressure, Zhao Haifeng could only hold his breath, shift his knees, and pretend to say, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry."
"What did you do wrong?" Su Jin asked deliberately.
It's obvious without much thought that Zhao Haifeng has never liked her. When she was his sister-in-law, she often suffered his sarcastic remarks.
They must have said something behind her back again today, but she didn't hear it.
She used to ignore people like that, just thinking they were having a self-indulgent party. The more she paid attention to them, the louder they would shout.
Zhao Haifeng felt that the gazes around him were like sharp knives, cutting away at his dignity. He suddenly got up and ran out of the banquet hall.
"Forget it, arguing with him will only lead to endless trouble." Su Jin released Zhao Qiyuan's hand, didn't look at her again, turned around and returned to her original seat as if nothing had happened.
Song Leilei sat here the whole time, keeping an eye on their movements.
Zheng Lin followed Su Jin closely, and sat down at Song Leilei's table with her.
Su Jin turned her head and saw Zheng Lin beside her. "Aren't you going back to sit down?"
Zheng Lin remained silent, not saying a word, as if he hadn't heard anything, his gaze fixed on the jewelry being displayed by the host.
Su Jin: "......" Oh well, I can't keep a low profile today. Luckily I have a mask, so no one can see my true face.
Today, Zheng Lin wore a blue-gray haute couture suit, and his physique while sitting there was even better than that of a male model.
Even Song Leilei couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing Zheng Shao doesn't act; otherwise, as an actor, he'd surely capture the hearts of men and women of all ages!"
Song Leilei's phone vibrated. She saw that it was a message from Xu Jingzhi and quickly slipped away, escaping from the table.
Now that Young Master Zheng is here, it would be rude of you not to leave.
Since I can't have a proper chat with my best friend anyway, I'm outta here.
Song Leilei gestured with her finger towards Su Jin to let her know that she was leaving.
“Song Leilei, I knew you’d come here,” Xu Jingzhi walked in on his own and naturally sat down next to Song Leilei.
He nodded to Su Jin in greeting, then continued to Song Leilei, "Are you here to buy jewelry or to see handsome men at this kind of banquet? Xia Xinyuan is here too?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the faces in the hall, but did not see Xia Xinyuan for the time being.
“Brother Xinyuan is still filming. Others aren’t as relaxed as you.” Song Leilei suddenly thought of something and pointed at Xu Jingzhi with her finger. “How did you get in? You didn’t sneak in, did you? Come on, you’d better leave quickly. It would be really embarrassing if someone found out.”
Xu Jingzhi smiled wickedly and leaned closer to her with his cheek. "Yeah, I snuck in. You have to keep it a secret for me, or I'll get caught by security and thrown out of the banquet hall. If my dad finds out, he'll beat me up again."
Song Leilei: "......"
She glared at Xu Jingzhi, then, feeling a little anxious, nudged his elbow on the table. "I'll go with you. Let's hurry up and go."
"Finally, you've realized you care about your older brother." Xu Jingzhi felt very gratified and habitually put his hand on her shoulder.
But as soon as he touched her smooth skin, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Song Leilei dismissed it, saying, "No, don't flatter yourself."
At this table, there was Song Leilei, and then Xu Jingzhi arrived.
Zheng Lin silently took Su Jin's hand under the table, then pulled her up.
Suddenly pulled up, Su Jin swayed and pressed herself against him. She looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"This table is for siblings, it's not suitable for us to sit here," Zheng Lin said with a straight face, his eyes already locked on another empty table that no one was sitting at yet.
Su Jin hadn't yet realized what the "brother and sister table" meant.
Zheng Lin pulled Su Jin to another table and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that if I sit with them, lovers will eventually become siblings."
Su Jin: "......"
"You clearly don't want to sit with them, and you're using the brother-sister table excuse? I don't believe that."
"Wouldn't it be nice to be alone with me?" Zheng Lin looked at her intently.
Looking into his deep eyes, Su Jin couldn't bring herself to say the word "bad."
That look in his eyes is more bewitching than any poison.
She fell for him in the same way back then; it's easy to be less resistant to good-looking men.
"Okay, very good." Su Jin took a small sip of champagne.
The two had only been alone for less than a minute, their hands barely warmed, when a deep male voice appeared again.
"Young Master Zheng, Su Jin!"
Su Jin looked at the newcomer; it was Li He again.
It seems that Lihe always knows how to choose the right time to appear.
She looked at Zheng Lin, and his face indeed darkened again.
Zheng Lin glanced at the seat next to him, and the next moment Li He plopped down and said happily, "I knew it, Young Master Zheng is still very welcoming to me."
"Not welcome," Zheng Lin said through gritted teeth. "Get out."
Li He felt that he had a deep friendship with Zheng Shao, so he didn't care about Zheng Shao's little temper at all. It's normal for brothers to quarrel a few times.
Li He sat down next to Zheng Lin without moving. "I don't need any help this time. I've officially broken up with my ex-girlfriend. I mainly want to ask Miss Su if she knows any suitable girls for me. My family is pressuring me to find someone and get married soon."
Su Jin: "No."
"That girl who was sitting with you just now, is she your friend? Is she single?" Li He lowered his head shyly. "I think she's quite nice. I wonder if she could... set us up?"
Li He just broke up with his girlfriend and he wants to find someone to marry right away. It's obvious that he wants to drag a girl along to waste the rest of his life with him. Can a marriage without love be happy?
Su Jin glanced at Song Leilei, who was forcefully pulling Xu Jingzhi, her facial features contorted as if she were using all her strength.
She looked away and said honestly, "She has someone she likes, so she probably won't be interested in you."
"She has someone she likes?" Li He felt very sorry for her. "Is it the man sitting next to her?"
“I don’t know either, but she has a clear crush on someone. As for the guy next to her…” Su Jin smiled meaningfully, “I don’t know if he likes her or not. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t.”
Li He glanced at Song Leilei and saw that the two were being too intimate, already hugging each other, so he immediately gave up the idea.
He said, "Never mind then. I initially thought she was like me, not having anyone she liked and having a simpler love life."
