As the driver got more and more excited, he suddenly took off his soaking wet shirt!
Su Jin stared in disbelief. "Uncle, what are you doing?"
The man seemed a little embarrassed after taking his clothes off, and put them back on halfway. "They're all wet... I wasn't thinking of changing the side of them."
However, because it was too uncomfortable to wear a wet garment that stuck to the body, the uncle came up with a compromise.
Just putting the clothes around your neck counts as wearing a top, right?
The middle-aged man admired his own cleverness, raised an eyebrow at the rearview mirror, and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I'll definitely get you to your destination!"
Su Jin: ...
Sure enough, the man's outfit caught the attention of the traffic police, who stopped him and asked, "What's with your clothes?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My clothes just got wet, so I had no choice but to wear them like this."
The traffic police officer confirmed it again and then asked, "Then why aren't you wearing a seatbelt?"
The middle-aged man chuckled again, showing no embarrassment, and covered his mouth, saying, "It hurts my nipples from being so tight..."
The traffic policeman peered suspiciously into the car. "Where's the cat?"
Su Jin immediately got out of the car, swiped the money for the driver, and said, "Uncle, I'm off now."
If she didn't leave soon, she was afraid she would laugh herself to death there.
Upon entering the company gate, Xie Yunhuai's assistant, who had been waiting there, greeted her, "Ms. Su, Mr. Xie has been waiting for you. Please come with me."
Su Jin gasped for breath, "This journey has been so arduous..."
The assistant said she understood, "Working here is really not easy."
The elevator was quite crowded, and Su Jin was squeezed into a corner, with her assistant standing face to face with her.
Su Jin wondered if it was just her imagination, but he seemed to be moving around a lot, his lower body twisting and turning, but he kept being pushed back.
And his expression seemed to indicate that he was in great discomfort?
Su Jin felt something was off, then looked down and she understood.
I accidentally pointed the hot corn I just bought at my assistant's...that area...
He kept burning himself...
Su Jin's brow twitched, and she slowly moved the corn away.
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and finally stood up straight.
Stepping out of the elevator, Su Jin couldn't help but laugh. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The assistant almost buried his head in the ground, “…I felt Miss Su’s enthusiasm.”
Su Jin stuffed the corn into his hand and said solemnly, "I really didn't know it would still be so hot after all this time. Here, take care."
After saying that, he went into the lounge.
Xie Lan was sitting in the center, waiting for her.
"You've arrived."
Su Jin felt nervous and slowly approached her.
Hello, Auntie.
Xie Lan casually pointed and said, "Sit."
Su Jin sat down in front of her. "Auntie, I'm sorry."
Xie Lan smiled upon hearing this, "You say that as soon as you come in?"
Su Jin lowered her head in embarrassment. Xie Lan had sponsored her on the condition that she graduate, get a job, and establish herself in society on her own.
As a result, she couldn't even meet such a simple condition.
Because she married Gu Xingze right after graduation.
"Auntie... I am sorry for this, I have failed you in your efforts to nurture me."
Xie Lan shrugged indifferently, "It's understandable to admit your mistakes and correct them now. How does it feel to be a housewife after getting married?"
Su Jin chuckled, "It's worse than death. A marriage certificate only costs nine yuan, what good could it be?"
"Good to know." Xie Lan looked out the window and smiled.
Su Jin looked up at her, "Auntie, if you had known earlier that I wouldn't be able to meet the conditions, would you still have sponsored me?"
Xie Lan nodded.
"If I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice. If I could change a girl's life with just a wave of my hand, why wouldn't I?"
Xie Lan is sometimes aloof, but at other times she is like a loving mother.
She didn't feel anything when her husband cheated on her; she just found it ridiculous that someone who had married into her family couldn't recognize his place.
She met the girl once, but don't get me wrong, she's not interested in things like fighting off mistresses.
She prefers to address the problem at its source; if a man doesn't want to cheat, no amount of women trying to seduce him will change that.
The girl seemed quite timid, hesitant, and not very old.
Xie Lan wondered how such a beautiful girl could tolerate such a awful man, someone who would be upset for ages even with a pimple on her face...
She had said before that she admired ambitious women, and the same was true for this girl; after chatting for a few minutes, she let her go.
A few days later, the girl came to Xie Lan crying and begging, because no company was willing to hire her anymore, and she had no means to survive.
Xie Lan looked calmly at the girl who was crying, "I do admire women who will do anything to climb the social ladder, of course, provided that it doesn't involve my interests."
By the way, her ex-husband is probably still dragging his broken leg and arm, hiding somewhere from his debts.
Xie Lan took a sip of tea. "By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
"Please speak."
Xie Lan glanced at her and looked away, "Even if you divorce your current husband in the future, don't stay with my son."
Su Jin understood immediately, because Gu's mother had said similar things before.
"Don't worry, I could never like him, and he could never like me."
It's as terrifying as a teddy bear that grew up with her since she was little, suddenly developing x-organs.
Xie Lan replied, "He is not good enough for you."
"ah?"
Xie Lan's expression remained unchanged. "He is too cowardly, while you are different. You have a more ambitious goal. Although I don't know you well, that encounter a few years ago left a deep impression on me."
Despite being praised, Su Jin wasn't particularly happy.
She took a few deep breaths and asked, "So that's why you did that to him...?"
Xie Lan's expression finally changed, and he raised an eyebrow at her.
Su Jin gestured on her arm, "His hands... those wounds..."
Her nose stung with tears, and she couldn't continue speaking when she thought of Xie Yunhuai's injuries.
She raised her tear-filled eyes, "Please don't do that to him anymore..."
Su Jin bent down, hiding the tears that were about to well up.
Xie Lan was unusually flustered and got up to give her a tissue. "Don't cry, don't cry. I promise you, I won't use family discipline on him anymore."
Su Jin looked up. "Really?"
"real."
…
When Xie Yunhuai saw Su Jin come out wiping away her tears, he felt his heart clench.
He rushed forward, asking anxiously, "What did she do to you? Why are you crying?"
Su Jin was startled. "Why are you here?"
Xie Yunhuai's hands trembled uncontrollably. "She clearly said she wouldn't do anything to you... Xiao Jin, are you alright?"
Su Jin shook her head. "Auntie didn't do anything to me. She promised me she wouldn't use family discipline on you again, so don't worry, brother."
Xie Yunhuai was stunned.
Su Jin looked left and right, then pulled Xie Yunhuai into the car.
"Brother, is your injury healed?"
Xie Yunhuai met her worried gaze and showed his usual smile.
"It's all fine now."
Su Jin frowned. "I don't believe it."
