Xie Yunhuai calmly looked at the furious Gu Xingze.
Raising an eyebrow and sighing, "Mr. Gu, is there nothing going on at your company? Or are you thinking of switching to the entertainment industry? I advise you, every industry is like a mountain to climb."
Gu Xingze raised his hand as if he wanted to rush forward, but then he held back.
The thought that after he beat him up, this shameless guy would go to his wife and play the victim, leaving him with no choice but to swallow this bitter pill...
Her voice held a barely suppressed anger, "Do you know what people are saying about her online? Is this what you mean by saying she won't get into any trouble?"
Xie Yunhuai shifted his gaze to the photo frame on the table.
It was a group photo taken when Su Jin and she were in high school.
In the photo, Su Jin and Lin Shi are making funny faces together, while his eyes are fixed on her.
Gu Xingze tacitly acknowledged that he had nothing to say, his anger almost materializing as he wanted to tear the person in front of him apart. "You swore back then that entering the entertainment industry wouldn't harm her? Is this the result of your promise?"
When he saw the comments online and all sorts of insults directed at Su Jin, he could barely hold his phone.
I can't imagine how his wife will cope with these negative comments.
He hated himself for not being by her side; he was such an irresponsible husband.
"Xie Yunhuai! You should terminate that lousy program's contract right now. I can afford any amount of the breach of contract penalty."
Xie Yunhuai seemed annoyed by the noise and rubbed his ears. "President Gu, do you know a word that perfectly describes you online?"
Xie Yunhuai smiled, "Chaoxiong."
...
"It feels so good! It feels like being a sewer rat that's been mercilessly dug out in the middle of the day, baking in the scorching sun, and being kicked around by people all around you."
"......"
Lin Shi checked her temperature expressionlessly. "It's gone down."
Su Jin stretched her back. "By the way, where's Gu Xingze? Did he go back?"
Lin Shi frowned. "Are you hallucinating? Where did this Gu Xingze come from?"
Now it was Su Jin's turn to be confused. "Huh? He wasn't here just now? Then who was that next to me just now, a ghost?"
"That was Shen Yanxiu just now. You must have mistaken him for someone else. Your husband didn't come at all."
Su Jin's mind went blank for a moment before she asked, "What about Shen Yanxiu?"
Lin Shi looked into the distance. "I don't know if she's feeling unwell. She just said she wanted to be alone for a while."
The comments section picked up on the key information and started discussing it.
Holy crap, her husband is Gu Xingze?!
Who is Gu Xingze? Never heard of him.
[Let me put it this way: a rising star in business, young, promising, and handsome.]
[I just looked him up on Baidu, and he really is handsome. Could he be her husband? I don't believe a guy this good-looking would be blind enough to fall for her.]
[It's probably just a coincidence of names, right? Think about it, why would someone marry a woman like that?]
Lin Shi quietly removed the recording equipment and said to Su Jin, "Are you and Shen Yanxiu dating? I feel like there's something off between you two."
"Hey, but if you two are going to date, you'd better keep it a secret and don't let your husband find out."
She perfectly exemplifies double standards: others cheat and feel ashamed, but her best friend cheats and she doesn't want to be caught.
Su Jin looked speechless and held up seven fingers.
"There are seven types of relationships I won't date. First, I won't date someone of the opposite sex—we don't understand each other, and our personalities clash. Second, I won't date someone of the same sex—too much mutual understanding is pointless. Third, I won't date a living person—I'm a living person myself, so I don't need to date another living person. Fourth, I won't date a dead person. Fifth, I won't date someone older than me—we can't communicate. Sixth, I won't date someone younger than me—I can't take care of myself, why would I want to take care of him? Seventh, I won't date someone my own age—there's no novelty."
She concluded, "In short, I will never be in a relationship."
Lin Shi clearly didn't believe it. "You and your husband never dated?"
"Of course not, what about me don't you know?"
Lin Shi remained noncommittal, "I thought you were just being stubborn and that you really hadn't talked about it."
Su Jin picked up a cigarette that wasn't even between her fingers, took a drag, and said, "I thought I was in a story of cunning and forceful seizure, or a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. But I realized I was really overthinking it."
Ye Shuwei walked over and asked, "What are you talking about? Your mysterious husband?"
"Um."
Lin Shi gave her a thumbs up, "Don't make jokes anymore, your life is a bit too abstract."
Su Jin didn't care about the dirt or not and lay down on the ground.
"I feel like a product with no brand, no quality, and no market value. I'm speechless, powerless, and helpless."
The tent was so dark, and the person who came was backlit, how could she, in her feverish state, possibly make any sense of it?
He actually mistook Shen Yanxiu for Gu Xingze... This is it, he might as well pack his bags and die.
The King of Hell ordered her to die at midnight, but she went at 2 AM, all to leave a good impression on her superior.
She closed her eyes and asked the system in her mind.
"System, has my favorability rating decreased?"
007 replied, "No."
Su Jin sat bolt upright. "Huh? Nothing?"
007 instructed her, "It's still a number of twenty-one, but he's in a bad mood right now. Host, go and coax him."
Su Jin's brow twitched violently. "Tell me, how am I supposed to coax him? Me, a married woman, trying to coax him?"
She didn't even need to look at the live stream comments to know that Shen Yanxiu's fans must be cursing her to death. She really wanted to punch this broken world into a giant egg tart.
"I can't even imagine how many people hated me without my knowledge."
Su Jin's somber voice echoed around the system.
"007, I won't let you get away with this, ever..."
007 shuddered, but stubbornly retorted, "How can you blame me? It was a malfunction, there was nothing I could do..."
Su Jin sighed, said goodbye to Lin Shi and the others, and set off to find Shen Yanxiu.
What can be done? It's her fault for being bound to this lousy system.
She asked casually, "Why did you contact me, 007?"
It fell silent, then snorted, "It's all because you're so stupid. I couldn't stand it, so I took pity on you and came to find you. Who knew you'd be so ungrateful?"
Su Jin sensed something strange from 007's words.
It's as if... it's been watching its own life unfold.
Considering this possibility, Su Jin asked in a deep voice, "What would happen to me if you hadn't come looking for me?"
007 lowered his voice, "I can't tell you, it's against the rules."
She didn't make things difficult for the system, and stepped forward to pat the person in front of her on the back.
Shen Yanxiu turned around, his eyes so red they startled her.
After recognizing Su Jin, he hurriedly turned around to hide his disheveled state.
"You... how did you get here...?"
Su Jin naturally continued the conversation, "I was looking for you."
Shen Yanxiu's tear-stained eyelashes trembled. He repeatedly warned himself not to be presumptuous, but none of it could withstand Su Jin's words, "I'm looking for you."
