The man's dark eyes were as black as an abyss.
Su Jin blinked away the water droplets on her eyelashes.
Zheng Lin said, "When you came here, wasn't there even a hint of genuine concern for me?"
“Don’t even think about worrying about me,” Su Jin said stubbornly. “I’m only worried about the inheritance. You know I was able to dump you back then, so why would I worry about you now?”
Zheng Lin nodded to himself, his smile growing even colder.
"Very good, just as ruthless as she was ten years ago. She's just as ruthless as the Su Jin I know."
Su Jin: "Even if I'm ruthless, I haven't changed. You've changed. You've become so unfamiliar."
It was unclear whether Zheng Lin was laughing at himself or at others.
He saw that she was soaked to the bone, and her skin was faintly visible on her upper body. He picked her up horizontally.
Su Jin: "What are you planning to do now?"
"Hold me tight if you don't want to expose yourself."
Su Jin glanced at her chest, then quickly reached out and grabbed Zheng Lin's neck, using his body to shield herself.
He carried her into the room, and Su Jin quickly jumped off him, scratching her hair as she landed on her feet.
Realizing what was happening, she covered her chest with her hands and said, "You go out first, I'm going to take a shower."
An hour later, Su Jin finally finished washing up and came out, having changed into some loose-fitting clothes.
She had taken all her clothes last time, so now she could only wear Zheng Lin's shirts.
Su Jin raised her sleeve and smelled it; there was a light fragrance, the same as Zheng Lin's scent.
It smells quite nice.
She slapped her forehead. "Smells good my ass, he's a jerk."
Not only was he a scoundrel, but he also constantly used his beauty to seduce her.
He was, after all, a man she had once had her eye on; his good looks were undeniable, and anyone who looked at him too much would easily become confused.
Zheng Lin was taking a shower in the next room, and Su Jin tiptoed toward the door.
The butler appeared out of nowhere, standing behind Su Jin and saying, "Ahem, Second Young Mistress, please wait."
Su Jin felt itchy all over if she stayed in the Zheng family's house for even a second longer.
What she just experienced in the rain made her want to escape this planet and drift in space.
Su Jin turned around with a forced smile: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," the butler glanced at the clothes the second young mistress was wearing. "The second young master's clothes are a bit too big. Should I have the maid alter them for you?"
"No need to trouble yourself. I'm fine dressed like this, and there's no need to see me off. I'm leaving now." With that, Su Jin made a hasty retreat.
......
Su Jin didn't expect that the next few days would be peaceful.
On the seventh day, Zheng Lin called to invite her to a family gathering at the manor.
"I'll have to trouble you to come again today."
"Why? I can skip the family gathering. We've only registered our marriage; I can go after the wedding banquet."
"My mom is back, and she wants to see you."
Hearing this, Su Jin blinked and replied into her phone, "Okay. But... you have a mother? Didn't you only have a father? I never heard you mention him in high school."
"You're so long-winded." With that, the call ended.
Zheng Family Manor.
Zheng Youguo glanced at his eldest son's new girlfriend, Zhao Qiyuan, with a look of disgust, then lowered his head to drink his tea, barely wanting to look at her any longer.
These two brothers are both troublesome; one changes girlfriends every day, while the other is indifferent to women.
Fortunately, Zheng Lin made him proud and finally came to his senses and got married.
Although Zheng Guang is a womanizer, he is still quite steady in his actions. This is the first time he has brought a girlfriend home, and he never expected to bring such a woman who looks like a green parrot, which is annoying to look at.
Zheng Youguo really looked down on this green-haired girl.
“Call your brother and ask him why he hasn’t arrived yet. Does he even respect me as his father? We finally have some free time to get together at home, but instead, he went to the law firm early this morning and did nothing but busy himself. I’ve been waiting for him for so long and he still hasn’t come back.”
Zheng Youguo muttered about his youngest son's faults, but his hands were already typing a WeChat message, quietly sending a text to urge him on.
His eyes darted downwards, as cautiously as a student secretly playing on their phone during class, afraid of being discovered by his wife beside him.
Zheng Lin's wife, He Rong, had been spending time with her goddaughter, He Ru, and the two traveled to several countries together. Yesterday, upon returning home after landing, she heard the news that Zheng Lin had already registered their marriage and was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table.
"Dad, I've already urged him." Zheng Guang waved his phone, then sat down next to Zhao Qiyuan. In just a few minutes, he received several new payment notifications. This was Zhao Qiyuan shopping online.
He met Zhao Qiyuan a few days ago.
It was a business dinner party. When he woke up, he was lying in a hotel room with Zhao Qiyuan next to him.
He couldn't remember what happened at all, but Zhao Qiyuan insisted that he take responsibility, saying she was afraid of getting pregnant and that she could only find out if she was pregnant after a month. During that month, she insisted on sticking to him and moved into his house with all her belongings without his permission.
Zhao Qiyuan insisted on coming today, and Zheng Guang couldn't stop her.
Zheng Guang tossed his phone to Zhao Qiyuan, telling her not to bother him anymore, without even glancing at her.
Just then, a servant came over with fruit and said, "Master, the second young master is back."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Youguo snorted coldly and said in a pretentious manner, "So what if you're back? Don't make a fuss."
Zheng Guang saw through his father at a glance. On the surface, he gave him all the real power, but he always cared most about his youngest son. His lips trembled slightly as he looked up at his younger brother and the woman behind him as they approached: "Zheng Lin, Dad has been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down. This must be your sister-in-law?"
Zheng Youguo couldn't quite suppress the smile on his lips. Little Jin was much more pleasing to the eye! She seemed like a kind and easy-going child, unlike that green-haired guy whose eyes were full of scheming.
Having lived to this age, he can see through any kind of person instantly.
When Zhao Qiyuan saw Su Jin, her gaze was intriguing. She thought to herself: So the person Second Young Master Zheng married was Su Jin. How could this be? How could Second Young Master Zheng really fall for a woman who had been married before?
"Hello, elder brother." Su Jin nodded to Zheng Guang.
When Su Jin's gaze fell upon Zhao Qiyuan, she merely smiled faintly, pretending not to recognize her, to avoid causing further trouble.
Presumably, Zhao Qiyuan would restrain herself in this situation.
She noticed Zheng Guang, whose appearance was completely different from Zheng Lin's. There was not a single resemblance between them, and he looked very mature, about thirty-five years old.
His face resembled his father's, with the appearance of an honest, ordinary, and unremarkable man.
No one would believe that Zheng Guang and Zheng Lin were brothers.
It's very possible that the two are half-siblings, or half-brothers. Could it be that... one of them is an adopted child?
Su Jin snapped out of her thoughts and greeted Zheng Lin's parents, "Uncle, Aunt."
In the morning, He Rong had heard many praises of Su Jin from her husband Zheng Youguo. Now that she met her in person, she felt that this woman was no match for her goddaughter.
How wonderful it is to have a goddaughter! We know her inside and out. We even secretly promised her that she would become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family in the future.
