She picked up the teapot, slowly poured tea into the teacup, and said meaningfully, "You only feel the pain when you scald yourself with boiling water. Since you have already felt my past suffering, it is already a kind of punishment for you."
Zhao Qiyuan's heart was pierced.
"Su Jin, do you think you're any better than that bitch Bai Qingchi?"
"In short, the harm Bai Qingchi caused me is long gone. I'm just kindly reminding you that if I were you, I would definitely collect evidence of Bai Qingchi's crimes and make her spend the rest of her life in jail."
......
After brainwashing Zhao Qiyuan all afternoon, Su Jin finally returned to her room to rest, satisfied.
Zheng Lin hugged her from behind, "What were you talking about with that person for so long? Don't you want your husband anymore?"
"No, give it to the state."
"You heartless woman." Zheng Lin took a bite out of her neck.
Su Jin laughed as she escaped from his grasp. "Oh dear, I really suspect you're a dog. Actually, I just said a few things to her, and I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it if you heard them."
Zheng Lin raised an eyebrow, his question hitting the nail on the head: "To deal with Bai Qingchi?"
Su Jin exclaimed in surprise, "I guessed it right away! You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Zheng Lin brought his laptop and showed her the contents of the meeting that afternoon to prove that he had been in his room the whole time.
Su Jin was speechless. She had only made a joke, but he had taken it seriously.
"Do whatever you want with her. You want to use Zhao Qiyuan to kill someone else?"
"You guessed it? It really is the little bug in my belly."
"Let me know if there's anything you can do to help."
After taking a shower, the two lay in bed. Su Jin wanted to chat with Song Leilei, but she couldn't get in touch with her no matter what she tried.
Zheng Lin suddenly touched her belly, "How big is the baby? Why isn't it moving?"
Su Jin: "I didn't feel the baby move either, maybe... it's asleep."
They both looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
This was the first time they had faced this issue with a child, and they had zero relevant knowledge.
For the first time, Zheng Lin felt like a father with intellectual disabilities. He was completely ignorant about children and planned to catch up on his knowledge of this area later.
The next day, Zheng Lin was eating while flipping through parenting books at the dinner table.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Youguo couldn't help but praise, "Heh, you weren't good when you were someone's son, but I didn't expect you to be so decent as someone's father."
Recently, He Rong has been away from home, living with her goddaughter. She doesn't want to see Zheng Youguo, and Zheng Youguo is happy to have some peace and quiet. Otherwise, he would be stuck at home all day dredging up old grievances with her, which would give him a headache.
Mrs. Su: "Let's eat first, we can read later."
Chairman Su: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask us. We've all been through this before."
Zheng Lin was so engrossed in reading that he didn't hear them talking. Su Jin smiled, snatched his book, closed it, and placed it on the corner of the table.
Zheng Lin looked up at Su Jin and then realized that everyone was there.
"Dad, Mom," Zheng Lin glanced at the dishes on the table and asked with concern, "Can Xiao Jin eat all of this?"
Madam Su smiled and said, "Yes, yes, pregnant women aren't as delicate as you think. Besides, in this day and age, any problems with the baby can be detected, monitored, and treated as needed. There's no need to be overly cautious."
Zheng Youguo was very satisfied with his son's attentive attitude, but he still had to be polite to his in-laws, saying, "He should worry about things more."
Zheng Youguo raised his wrist and glanced at the time. "Oh, right, I'm going to pick up my old friend."
With that, he left the table.
The maid brought up three more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Before long, Zheng Youguo returned with his old friend, chatting and laughing, followed by Xu Jingzhi and Song Leilei.
Su Jin was surprised that the two of them would come. She nudged Zheng Lin with her elbow and asked him, "Is that Xu Jingzhi's father or Song Leilei's father?"
Song Leilei waved happily at Su Jin.
Zheng Lin tilted his head towards Su Jin, "Xu Jingzhi's father."
Everyone took their seats.
Song Leilei sat down opposite Su Jin, craning her neck to talk to Su Jin, but was pulled back by Xu Jingzhi.
“Mind your manners,” Xu Jingzhi said.
"Uncle Zheng," Song Leilei called out sweetly.
Zheng Youguo, who was still chatting with his old friend, immediately turned his head and noticed the child: "What's wrong?"
Song Leilei: "Can I sit there?"
Song Leilei had a sweet smile, the kind of smile that elders would like. Zheng Youguo immediately agreed, "If you want to sit down, go ahead and make yourself at home. Your father and I have been friends for over thirty years. Don't be shy in my house. Tell your boyfriend not to be shy either."
Xu Jingzhi was instantly embarrassed. Whenever the three of them went out together, his father and Leilei would always be seen as father and daughter in the eyes of outsiders, and he... would be an extra passerby.
Of course, he never got jealous about it; maybe men are just easygoing.
This time, however, he felt very strange being mistaken for Leilei's boyfriend.
That panic was genuine panic.
Just as Song Leilei was about to correct the relationship, Xu Jingzhi spoke up first, saying, "Uncle, I am my father's son."
Zheng Youguo's gaze drifted to him, and he suddenly realized, "Oh, you two are siblings."
He turned to Xu's father and said, "You are really lucky to have such a wonderful son and daughter. You are so blessed. I really envy you, unlike me who has two sons but no daughters."
Before Xu's father could speak, Song Leilei, upon hearing that their relationship had changed from lovers to siblings, stood up anxiously and said, "Uncle Zheng! We are not siblings. I am not Uncle Xu's daughter. Uncle Xu only has one son, Xu Jingzhi. I am not him."
After a three-second pause, Zheng Youguo realized what he meant and laughed heartily, "I made a mistake."
Mr. Xu: "You can call them siblings if you want. Leilei is a girl I watched grow up, so we're practically like real siblings."
Zheng Youguo: "I see."
After the false alarm, Xu Jingzhi put his arm around Song Leilei's shoulder and said, "We're supposed to be siblings, and you're not happy about it? Heh. What an ungrateful little thing. Whose money do you spend all the time? Mine. Who picks you up every day? Me. Can't I be your brother?"
Song Leilei leaned to the side, trying to get out of his arms. "You still want to be my brother? My brothers are all god-level. You are not worthy."
It's those male celebrities again. Xu Jingzhi wanted to twist her head off as soon as he heard that. "Am I not as good-looking as those people? Do you have something wrong with your eyes? I'll take you to an ophthalmologist tomorrow."
"You." Song Leilei's shoulder was pulled forcefully, and she was instantly pulled to the closest distance like a rubber band. When she looked up, she saw Xu Jingzhi's face.
So close that you could see his pores clearly.
