During the meal, Ye Shuwei asked Su Jin, "Sister, what are your plans for the future? I heard that some TV dramas want you to act in them?"
Su Jin looked up from the delicious food. "Really? How come I didn't know?"
"Yes, it seems to be a drama directed by Director Chen."
Su Jin was signed with a company under Xie Yunhuai's name, so he handled everything; she didn't even have an agent accompanying her.
However, Su Jin liked this very much; with no one watching her, she felt much less constrained.
"Hmm, I'll go back and ask the company. If I'm capable of handling it, I'll still take the job."
She has little confidence in her acting skills; she wouldn't accept a role just to pollute the audience's eyes if she couldn't portray the character.
Because she had been contaminated in this way before.
Shen Yanxiu listened quietly to the whole thing, chewing his food listlessly.
What show is it?
I'll have to ask my agent later.
See if I can squeeze myself in.
It's fine to just be a passerby.
After finishing their meal, they packed up and prepared to go home.
“Ajin, can I still call you that…”
Su Jin stopped in her tracks. "It's just a name, call me whatever you want."
A name is just a label; she doesn't care about it. She hates her parents so much, but she doesn't want to hate her name because of it.
But she still envied people like Lin Shi who took their mother's surname, sharing the same surname as their loving mother, and even their names sounded beautiful.
Shen Yanxiu nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Ajin. I look forward to our next get-together."
Su Jin nodded politely in response, "Goodbye."
Walking home with Lin Shi, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Was that dumpling delicious?"
Lin Shi thought for a moment, then squinted her eyes and said, "It was so delicious! Your husband... ex-husband is such a good cook. Even just for the food, I would still be willing to let him stay as your ex-husband."
Su Jin restrained herself from cursing.
"How about the three-delicacy filling?"
She asked one more question so that she would have a strategy in case Gu Xingze brought it up again.
Lin Shi frowned. "What do you mean by 'three delicacies'? Isn't it just pork and beef in there?"
Su Jin raised her eyes and recalled Gu Xingze's attitude at the time.
"...I was tricked into revealing information."
Lin Shi didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Su Jin sighed and pressed the car key. "It's nothing, just that next time someone asks you a question, it's best not to fall into their trap."
Lin Shi was even more confused. "What? He set a trap for you? A love trap?"
...
The next day.
Real estate agent Xiao Wu called Su Jin, his voice brimming with undisguised joy, "Sister, someone bought that house!"
Su Jin was also surprised, "So fast? Wasn't it just hung up?"
Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "That's what I thought too. That person placed the order and even paid the balance without asking if they could negotiate the price. I've never seen anyone like that before. How eager are they to move into the house?"
Upon hearing this description, Su Jin felt a sense of foreboding rising within her...
This premonition was confirmed when Assistant Li came to sign the contract.
Su Jin was too lazy to question them anymore; she just wanted to finish the process as soon as possible.
Assistant Li wiped imaginary sweat from his forehead. "Ms. Su, you and my boss really do have too much money to play around with."
Su Jin gripped the pen tightly. "...Do you think I wanted this?"
After signing her name, Su Jin closed the contract.
Once she calmed down, she asked, "What does your boss think?"
Why spend so much money to buy a second-hand house for yourself?
Assistant Li coughed a few times. "No, he was thinking about the memories. He said it's such a waste to give this house away to someone else after only living here for a few years."
Assistant Li paused for a moment, then continued, "The boss also asked me to pass on a message to you, saying... don't overthink it, he didn't buy this room because of you."
"Um... The boss also said that if you don't have enough money, remember to tell him that he doesn't want to see his ex-wife so destitute that she has to sell the house to make ends meet."
He seemed reluctant to speak, and felt that what he said was too outrageous.
He kept saying it wasn't for Su Jin's sake, but then told her to tell him if she needed money.
Isn't this a contradiction?
Su Jin was speechless, but when she thought of Assistant Li as just a pitiful messenger, she held back her temper.
"Well, then tell him that no one would ask their ex-husband for money."
Assistant Li thought to himself, "That's right."
"Understood, Miss Su, goodbye."
Su Jin nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Serving such a boss must be quite tiring.
...
Su Jin faced Xie Yunhuai, and she showed some anger.
Xie Yunhuai, on the other hand, fidgeted with his fingers, seemingly at a loss.
"Xiao Jin, don't stay silent."
Su Jin raised an eyebrow. "What good would it do if I said something? You just turned down a job that was supposed to be mine without even asking me?"
She was really angry; she wouldn't even call him "brother."
Xie Yunhuai hurriedly reached out to grab her hand, "I was wrong, Xiaojin, I'm sorry."
Su Jin never had a bad temper in front of him; in fact, she was quite polite.
She had never shown such obvious emotion before.
So Xie Yunhuai panicked terribly, "Xiao Jin, can I report all our partners to you now? This will never happen again."
Su Jin listened with her arms crossed and nodded in agreement.
Xie Yunhuai smiled, got up and sat down next to her, and eagerly handed her his phone.
"Take a look at Director Chen's drama. I felt there were too many dangerous scenes in it, and I was worried about your safety, so I wanted to help you turn it down..."
