An hour later, Su Jin arrived at the Zheng family's house.
He Rong and Zheng Youguo were standing outside Zheng Lin's door. When Su Jin arrived, He Rong didn't rush to let her in, but instead pulled her into the courtyard to talk.
Zheng Youguo followed them over, still worried that there might be a conflict between the two of them, and that his presence would help resolve it.
“Zheng Lin’s condition isn’t good. I hope you can talk to him and try not to upset him with your words. You should agree to whatever he says.” He Rong’s words were forceful, as if she wouldn’t allow anyone to refuse.
Anyone who hears such words will definitely feel uncomfortable.
So He Rong continued, "I know this is a bit unreasonable. But Zheng Lin really can't live without you. Even if you lie to him, once his condition improves, you can have a proper conversation with him about whether you want a divorce or have other plans."
Su Jin felt that the Zheng family had high hopes for her, but she was never an overconfident person and was not very sure of her position in Zheng Lin's heart or whether she could be of any help to him.
If former partners could cure each other's illnesses, then the world would have no need for doctors.
Su Jin said rationally, "Let me see him first. I can't promise you any of these things. I can only try to get him to eat a few bites to keep him alive, and then we just have to wait for the psychologist to come. I'm not a doctor, I can't cure his illness."
She nodded slightly to He Rong, "I'll go in and take a look first."
Her words lacked emotion, as if coming here was merely a routine matter.
This disappointed He Rong a little, but since she needed something from him, she couldn't ask for too much. She saw Su Jin walk towards Zheng Lin's room and glanced at Zheng Youguo.
Zheng Youguo understood He Rong's anxiety, "Let the young people solve their own problems."
......
Pushing open the door, Su Jin saw Zheng Lin standing motionless. Instead of rushing to approach him, she observed him from the side for a while.
In just three days, he lost a lot of weight and had the air of a fallen nobleman from the Republican era, making people feel sorry for him.
"You haven't found your biological mother yet, it's not worth starving yourself to death now." Su Jin picked up her white rice and put some vegetables on top of it.
She scooped up a spoonful of rice and said, "You'll never know who your mother is. Only by living do we have a chance."
She forcefully shoved the spoon into Zheng Lin's mouth, "Open your mouth."
Zheng Lin grabbed her hand holding the spoon and glared at her: "Su Jin. If you don't want to see me, why are you still bothering me? Whether I live or die is none of your concern."
"Who says it's not important?" Su Jin's heart clenched with anger. "If it weren't important, I wouldn't have come here. You're still important, it's just that there are some problems in our relationship, and it can't be overcome."
When Su Jin first returned to China, she had a glimmer of hope for Zheng Lin, but when Zheng Lin got engaged to He Ru, she realized that her hope was truly laughable.
She doesn't overestimate her status in other people's eyes; she prefers to have the least amount of expectation rather than be delusional.
She knew she could be a bit cold-blooded and ruthless at times, but having lived two lives, she couldn't possibly do everything with such passion, always following in other people's footsteps.
She still remembered how, in her previous life, during her student days, she relentlessly pursued Zheng Lin, determined to win him over.
"You can't get over it? You're talking about the child?" Zheng Lin pulled a cardboard box from under the bed. "I found the package Zhao Qiyuan gave you two days ago when I was tidying up. It clearly stated that it was just a misunderstanding back then, and you didn't get pregnant. There are medical records to prove it."
Su Jin pulled out the medical records from the box and quickly glanced at the words in the letter.
She recalled that two years ago, Zhao Qiyuan had indeed told her that he would give her a gift on their wedding day.
The gift Zhao Qiyuan mentioned was this package.
Su Jin gripped the letter and medical record tightly. "She's not pregnant. It was a false alarm. How could that be?"
Her emotions were complicated.
A moment later, she suddenly burst out laughing.
"Do you still think you can't overcome this?" Zheng Lin asked.
For the past two years, her child has been Su Jin's biggest worry.
She felt particularly sorry for the unborn child, which is why she always felt unworthy of embracing happiness.
After Su Jin figured all this out, she hugged Zheng Lin and burst into tears.
Zheng Youguo and He Rong, separated by the door, heard the woman crying inside the room and were both puzzled.
They called Su Jin over to persuade Zheng Lin to think more positively, so why is she crying all by herself?
Who should advise whom in this situation?
The butler beckoned to the master and mistress and whispered, "Let's not disturb them. Crying is a way to release emotions, and having emotions is better than having none."
"It must be because Zheng Lin refused to eat, and Xiao Jin cried in anger," Zheng Youguo guessed.
He Rong: "......"
As Su Jin cried, she also hit Zheng Lin's back hard. Zheng Lin felt that she was hitting him hard. If she had internal energy, he would have vomited blood by now.
However, Zheng Lin couldn't bear to let her go. He tortured himself for three days, staging a self-inflicted injury to trick her into coming over. He had worked so hard for so long, and he couldn't let such a good opportunity to reconcile go to waste.
He just didn't expect her to cry so bitterly.
Zheng Lin didn't forget that he was a patient. He reached out to pat her back to comfort her, but then put his hand down, pretending to be unmoved, and only rested his head on her shoulder.
His trick fooled everyone in his family, so he had to keep up the act.
This was the advice Wang Jiache gave me three days ago.
In fact, Zheng Lin's mental illness had been cured half a year ago. Wang Jiache deliberately revealed this to Su Jin last time, and it was for ulterior motives.
Three days ago, the two were drinking together at a bar when Zheng Lin appeared distressed. They then revealed that Su Jin knew about his medical history, and together they came up with this underhanded scheme.
Of course, Zheng Lin also considered that Su Jin would be even angrier after being exposed, so he believed that as long as he didn't expose her and continued the charade, everything would be foolproof.
Moreover, after performing for a few days and with Su Jin by his side, he can suddenly return to normal and recover one morning.
After the two reconciled, Su Jin personally fed Zheng Lin a bowl of rice.
Throughout the entire process, Su Jin was very patient, and even wiped his mouth after he finished eating.
In the afternoon, Su Jin took Zheng Lin, who was "unable to take care of himself," to the back garden to bask in the sun and played music for him.
He Rong and Zheng Youguo stood at a distance. Seeing that Zheng Lin looked much better than in the morning, they exchanged a glance, and Zheng Youguo said, "I don't think they will get a divorce. As for He Ru, you, as her godmother, need to do some persuasion."
