Su Jin slept very poorly that night. In her dream, her mother-in-law's big face chased after her and scolded her. When she turned her head, Gu Xingze was holding a strange woman and looking down at her.
He gave her a mocking smile.
"If I don't get a divorce, you'll be stuck here for the rest of your life."
Su Jin sat up abruptly, covered in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong, Violet?"
Su Jin's eyes blazed with fury. "I must get a divorce! I'll tear them all to shreds!"
Lin Shi nodded hurriedly, "I support you, I support your one yuan lawyer fee."
Su Jin smiled with relief and patted her on the back, "You are truly my best friend. From now on, we will be each other's angels, and I will be the sky."
Lin Shi was relieved to see that she had returned to normal.
What happened to you just now?
"I dreamt of ghosts."
Lin Shi was still confused when she got into the car with her, "Aren't we going to get a divorce?"
Su Jin was speechless and then laughed, "Can you please stop saying things that are so misleading?"
Su Jin didn't reply to my message last night, thankfully WeChat doesn't have a read receipt function.
Lin Shi leaned in again, all cheeky, "Hey, have you ever had a crush on your husband?"
“...If you say that again, he is your husband.”
Su Jin, unusually, did not slap him. In fact, she had not disliked Gu Xingze from the beginning.
After all, Gu Xingze has a pretty good face and a good physique. When Su Jin first got married, she wondered if they would fall in love after marriage, until she saw his scandalous news in the entertainment news.
#Gu Xingze and the Yan Group's Heiress are often seen together#
The accompanying picture showed Gu Xingze standing with a strange girl. Even though there was a distance of three times that of Su Jin between them, the news article was written vaguely, so Su Jin didn't look at it closely.
Su Jin finally behaved herself.
The budding love was extinguished because of her rationality.
"You only know if a woman can have a chance if she tries to pursue a man."
Su Jin said calmly, "I have a show to perform in the circus."
"...Your nose fell off."
Lin Shi picked up the non-existent red nose from the ground, pressed it against her nose, and chatted and laughed all the way to the airport.
Su Jin got out of the car and looked at the airport exit. A group of men in black rushed forward, startling her and Lin Shi so much that they took a step back.
Lin Shi nudged Su Jin with her elbow, "Why does it look like you're coming for us? Who did you offend?"
"...Too many to count, I don't know."
A person pushed a wheelchair out. The person in the wheelchair had a pair of almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with a smile when they caught sight of Su Jin. Their gentle and delicate voice called out to her, "Xiao Jin, I thought you weren't coming."
...
Gu Xingze turned down all his work today and sat quietly at home waiting for Su Jin, behaving as properly as a primary school student.
He kept refreshing his phone, muttering, "Is this phone broken...?"
Otherwise, why wouldn't I receive messages from Su Jin?
At this moment, Su Jin awkwardly faced this "brother" she hadn't seen for three years.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you I was coming."
Xie Yunhuai smiled and said, "It's alright, Xiaojin. I'm just happy that you came."
She felt a sense of déjà vu from her student days when she went to find her teacher. Back then, she would ask Lin Shi to accompany her for courage, and she felt the same way now, clinging tightly to Lin Shi's arm to prevent her from running away.
Su Jin frantically tugged at the hem of her clothes, looking for a crack in the floor. She was busy, but didn't know what she was busy with.
Xie Yunhuai turned his head away and coughed twice, his eyes filled with undisguised sadness. "Xiao Jin, why don't you call me brother anymore?"
A sense of guilt rose in Su Jin's heart, and she obediently called out, "Brother."
Xie Yunhuai's eyes were a little red from coughing. He raised his hand to tidy Su Jin's stray hairs. "When I went abroad, you were still a student. Xiao Jin... will you blame your brother?"
Why should I blame you?
Xie Yunhuai lowered his eyes; he was a deserter.
"I left you, but you are not happy, and I didn't know any of this."
Even without being told, Xie Yunhuai could tell that Su Jin was not doing well, and it broke his heart.
He had thought that Gu Xingze would treat Xiao Jin well after proposing marriage, but the dark circles under Su Jin's eyes and her uneasy hands all indicated that she had been suffering greatly during the three years he was away.
But actually, the dark circles under my eyes are from having a nightmare last night and not sleeping well.
Her hands were fidgeting nervously because seeing Xie Yunhuai after three years was too awkward; she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, so her hands kept moving around.
A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in Xie Yunhuai's eyes. How could that person treat her like this?
Su Jin swallowed hard, glanced at Lin Shi who was hiding, and gave her a pleading look.
Lin Shi blinked and shook her head frantically, indicating that she couldn't help.
"No, brother. Marrying him was my own choice, and I will bear the consequences myself. Besides, I don't want you to be abroad for treatment and have to worry about me."
Xie Yunhuai's pupils flickered. The medical treatment was just an excuse; he was simply going abroad to manage a branch company.
He initially found it hard to accept that Su Jin would choose that kind of person, and he didn't want her and that person to be called a loving couple by others in the future, while he was just an outsider.
Su Jin looked at Xie Yunhuai's pale and sickly face, and hesitated before asking, "But brother, are you feeling better?"
A shallow dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I'm much better, Xiao Jin. Don't worry about me."
They chatted casually, and Su Jin was sweating from talking so much, but he showed no sign of letting her go.
"Xiao Jin, stay here. Your brother hasn't seen you in so long."
Su Jin hesitated, then met his slightly pitiful gaze and reluctantly refused, "No, no, it's too much trouble for you. I'll stay at Lin Shi's place."
