"Don't panic no matter what happens, the more you panic, the more your stomach will hurt." Mrs. Su helped her daughter sit on the edge of the bed and brought over a glass of warm water. "Drink a little slowly to ease the pain."
The warm water made Su Jin feel a little better, but she was still very upset.
She held the water glass on her lap, head bowed, and said, "I want a divorce."
"Divorce, huh?" Mrs. Su didn't find divorce surprising.
When she was young, Mrs. Su not only often talked about divorce, but she also actually took her husband to the Civil Affairs Bureau and even discussed who would get custody of their daughter.
But in the end, they still didn't divorce.
The worst argument they had ever had took them to the courthouse, but thinking about all the grudges they had accumulated over the years, neither of them went inside. Instead, they took their three-year-old daughter to the ground floor of their house and ate a bowl of beef offal noodles together.
Then, they forgot about the divorce.
It's not that we've forgotten each other, it's just that neither of us holds a grudge anymore.
“You haven’t even had a wedding yet, and you want a divorce? Fine, I agree. But your current state isn’t suitable for divorce. I hope you can make a decision after you regain your memory.” Mrs. Su held her daughter’s hand and said, “If you still want a divorce by then, I will definitely support you.”
My mother's words were still quite fair.
Su Jin: "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
"Your marriage is not my marriage, so what's the point of asking why? You can tell me if you want, or I don't care if you don't. Hearing this will only add to my troubles."
After being comforted by her mother, Su Jin felt better and her stomach cramps stopped.
Zheng Lin was outside the door and overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter.
When Madam Su came out, she saw Zheng Lin there and nodded with her chin, signaling him to hurry up and go in to coax her, otherwise his wife would really run away.
Su Jin touched the ring, stood on the balcony, and stared blankly at the sky.
Zheng Lin came in, took a few steps closer, and looked at Su Jin.
"Xiao Jin, I really didn't mean to come back so late yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin turned to look at him. After a night of reflection, she had come to understand some things.
"Do you think I'm stupid, that I have to believe everything you say?"
"I hope you don't misunderstand me."
“Let’s take a break for a while.” Su Jin held the ring tightly in her hand. “I thought a lot last night. I have amnesia and I can’t tell if I really like you or if it’s just because of the title of husband. My mind is in turmoil, and I think yours is too.”
Zheng Lin still felt misunderstood. "My heart is certain it's you. I don't want to be separated from you."
"So where were you last night? Were you in Bai Qingchi's bed, or at the hospital with a friend getting his wound bandaged?" Su Jin squeezed the ring tightly. "You made me trust you, but you lied to me again."
I was afraid you would misunderstand.
"Then you don't need to be afraid anymore. Let's leave it at that for now." With that, Su Jin looked at Zheng Lin with icy eyes and stretched her arm out onto the balcony.
She closed her eyes and let go.
The ring in his hand fell swiftly to the ground.
Seeing her so resolute, Zheng Lin's heart sank to the bottom, just like the ring.
A temporary separation is a cooling-off period.
Su Jin still lives in the Zheng family manor, but she acts as if she can't see Zheng Lin every day. The two are like two familiar strangers.
Zheng Lin tried to greet her several times, but she ignored him.
Zheng Lin was very troubled and could only ask the person next to him, "What should I do?"
Assistant Gao thought to himself: Boss, you deserve it, don't you?
However, he couldn't say that in order to avoid having his salary deducted.
Assistant Gao chose some nice words: "The cooling-off period, as the name suggests, is for you to calm down. Once this period is over, you should be back to normal."
How long is this period?
"...It's hard to say. It depends on how long the party who proposed the cooling-off period wants to be."
"Heh." Zheng Lin sneered.
Assistant Gao was terrified. He looked at his boss's face and said, "The boss's wife's situation is rather special. Perhaps if we work hard to help her regain her memory, she will automatically return to your arms once she remembers how deep your feelings were."
Zheng Lin lifted his glasses frame with his finger. "Change it."
He couldn't tell who Xiaojin loved most in the past. What if she regained her memories and realized that her ex-husband was the one she loved most?
The risk was too high; he was unwilling to try.
Assistant Gao was also helpless. "How about... asking the boss's best friend? Women understand women best. Even if she can't solve the problem, she can get her best friend to put in a good word for you. One best friend is worth a thousand troops."
Zheng Lin finally nodded, "We can give this a try."
As a result, Xu Jingzhi was harassed by Zheng Lin so much that he brought Song Leilei over that afternoon.
Song Leilei, as her best friend, already knew about Su Jin's cold war with Zheng Lin.
Song Leilei was unwilling to come, so Xu Jingzhi waited at her door and lifted her into the car without giving her any room to refuse.
Song Leilei glared fiercely at Xu Jingzhi, like a husky about to attack.
"I won't help you." Song Leilei crossed her arms and slammed her hand on the table. "I will never betray my best friend!"
"Name your price, and I'll grant it. All I ask is that you say a few good words for me to Xiao Jin." Zheng Lin beckoned to Assistant Gao.
Assistant Gao showed Song Leilei the projects on the tablet, "These are all TV series that Zheng's Group is about to start filming. Please take a look."
Song Leilei couldn't help but glance at it sideways, but quickly looked away and covered her eyes with her hands. "I don't want to look, I don't want to look. Take this away. I, Song Leilei, don't need these resources. I have plenty of resources now, and I don't even look at these projects of yours."
Zheng Lin raised his chin at Assistant Gao, who then took the tablet and moved to Song Leilei's other side so that she could still see it.
Zheng Lin leaned back, looking confident: "The quality is all S-grade or above, and the male leads are all popular young actors. You could become a huge star if you're not careful. As long as you nod your head, the female lead is yours."
This offer is incredibly tempting.
If Zheng Lin had asked for a certain amount of money, Song Leilei could have refused without hesitation.
But... that means acting alongside popular young actors, of S-level or higher quality.
This makes it very easy for her to meet her dream man.
Song Leilei peeked through her fingers, her eyes following the movement of the tablet.
Xu Jingzhi noticed her wavering, reached out and took the tablet from Assistant Gao's hand, coolly refusing on Song Leilei's behalf, "Take it, Song Leilei isn't that kind of person. Don't underestimate her, she's unwilling, I'll take her back first."
Zheng Lin frowned as he looked at Xu Jingzhi. What was this guy up to? Was he here to sabotage him?
“Xu…” His words were interrupted.
"Wait a minute." Song Leilei jogged over and hugged the tablet to her chest. "I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success. Whether you'll listen or not depends on fate and my sister's feelings for you."
Zheng Lingang's words of anger towards Xu Jingzhi were stuck in his throat, but he secretly gave Xu Jingzhi a thumbs up.
Xu Jingzhi's sabotage was surprisingly well-timed.
The main reason is that Xu Jingzhi understands Song Leilei, and at the right time, he should give Song Leilei a push.
Xu Jingzhi, standing behind Song Leilei, also gave him a thumbs-up with a smug look on his face.
