Chapter 267: Confirmed Identity Revealed
Chapter 267: Confirmed Identity Revealed
“Miss Wen, could we please forgive and forget about the past for A-Jing’s sake? I was narrow-minded and viewed you too one-sidedly in the past. I apologize to you.”
In fact, if given another chance, Zhao Jinming would still view Wen Jinye in the same way.
After all, she was just a woman brought into the circle by Fu Yanjing, and that class shouldn't belong to her.
There was no reason for Zhao Jinming to look at him with new respect.
But things are different now.
She was the lover Fu Yanjing had chosen.
Even though their statuses are unequal, Zhao Jinming will still give Wen Jinye all the respect he deserves.
Zhao Jinming continued, "If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my utmost to repay you for my arrogant words and actions when I was in a superior position and didn't take you seriously."
Wen Jin was also a little embarrassed by his frank words.
She knew that Zhao Jinming and Fu Yanjing, and even the two families behind them, had a very close relationship.
Breaking the ice in a relationship is difficult.
But Wen Jin didn't want to be the one who was immature and made things difficult for Fu Yanjing.
She smiled gently and said, "Mr. Zhao, you flatter me. I didn't take it to heart, and I understand your thoughts at the time."
He really had no reason or need to take me seriously at that time.
But that doesn't mean Wen Jin is completely indifferent.
Fu Yanjing saw through her feigned nonchalance.
He chuckled knowingly.
She took Wen Jinye's hand and played with it, saying, "Understanding and forgiveness are two different things. Wen Jinye, don't put it so nicely."
"It's okay. If you're unhappy with him, you can scold him. There's no need to be so formal."
Zhao Jinming: ?
"If anyone's to blame, it's you, right? You're trying to whitewash yourself and play the good guy, leaving no way out for those of us who are implicated as victims?"
This seemingly weak-willed joke dispelled any remaining embarrassment and resentment Wen Jin felt.
She weakly retorted, "What you're saying makes me seem so arrogant and unreasonable."
"Could you be a little more confident?"
Fu Yanjing, finding her unreasonable, continued to stomp on the fire, "You dare to act like a bully over me now. Point your finger at him and vent your anger, return the pent-up frustration you suffered before, and you're not being unreasonable."
Women are like hands and feet, brothers are like clothes.
As expected, he values romantic relationships and close friends.
Not only did Zhao Jinming's fiancée run away, but he also had to silently endure becoming a part of their play.
So I kindly offered a reminder.
"I came here to relax, not to die."
Wen Jin also expressed her innocence, saying, "I didn't mean to hurt you with my words, don't listen to his nonsense."
And she was also puzzled, so she looked up and asked Fu Yanjing, "When did I ever act like a bully over you?"
"You forgot?" He suddenly bent his neck, his thin lips close to Wen Jinye's ear, and said in a very low voice:
"That night, you insisted on being up there, saying you wanted to see just how good the view from up high really was."
!!
Why did the sky suddenly turn yellowish-brown?
How could Fu Yanjing say such things in public!
Wen Jin also stepped on Fu Yanjing's shoe, gritted her teeth and squeezed out a whisper: "Shut up."
Fu Yanjing's expression subtly changed as he suppressed his anger. "You're really willing to use lethal force."
Zhao Jinming, watching the spectacle from the sidelines, felt a surge of satisfaction and quipped, "Is he crippled yet? Is he crippled yet?"
The tone was caring and eager, as if afraid he might not be disabled.
"I'll take you back."
After all, he and Fu Yanjing came together from the beginning.
Wen Jin also glanced at Shen Mingxi, who was "in a coma" on the table. From her angle, she could just see the slightly moving eyes under Shen Mingxi's thin eyelids.
Especially after Zhao Jinming finished speaking the next sentence.
"And your friend here. Is it because the heated room is too comfortable to sleep in?"
Wen Jin could also clearly feel her breathing catch in her throat.
My facial nerves seemed to twitch.
Was she not drunk?
Zhao Jinming has decided to play the good guy to the end and clear his name through Wen Jinye.
They thoughtfully asked, "Where does your friend live? If things don't go smoothly, you can call a driver over."
Shen Mingxi froze completely.
It was realized that Shen Mingxi's feigned drunkenness and her current subtle reaction seemed to be related to Zhao Jinming.
Wen Jin also gave a vague excuse.
"No need, you guys go back first. I'll wait for her here."
"She's drunk."
Zhao Jinming didn't take it seriously, "Why are you bringing a drunk woman with you? Besides, it's already so late, it's not safe for the two of you, one weak and one drunk."
Wen Jin bit her lip, racking her brains.
"It's alright, she's safe. She's practiced Drunken Fist."
Wen Jin also came up with an excuse that was so awkward it couldn't be more awkward.
Sometimes her lies are mixed with a touch of sincerity, making it difficult for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Sometimes, I wish I could wear my restraint and humility on my face.
For example, right now.
She clearly didn't want to go with Zhao Jinming.
Fu Yanjing's gaze lingered on Wen Jinye and Shen Jinzhao.
Although she didn't know what Wen Jin was up to, she ultimately wanted to go along with her intentions.
He smiled knowingly, his calm demeanor as serene as the bright moon, instantly dispelling Wen Jinye's unease.
"Stop trying to curry favor with me. I'll figure out how to get my wife home."
Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been saved.
Turning his head, he saw that Shen Mingxi's stiff body had also relaxed.
This further confirmed Wen Jinye's suspicions.
Zhao Jinming's gaze wasn't particularly drawn to the woman sleeping peacefully on the table, so he didn't think much of it.
He assumed that Miss Wen still harbored resentment and fear towards him.
Realizing that he had put the other person in a difficult position, he smiled apologetically.
"Then I won't bother Miss Wen any longer."
Fu Yanjing pinched Wen Jin's cheek, who was also relieved. "I'll send a driver to pick you up in a bit. See you at home."
*
Shen Jinzhao closed his eyes, his heart pounding with anxiety, but finally settled down after hearing the footsteps of the two leaving.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The information was so dense just now that her mind was in a jumble.
Unexpectedly, the first person she thought she would meet by chance in Jiangbei, the person she genuinely wanted to befriend, turned out to be...
Fu Yanjing's lover.
Shen Jinzhao was frantically calculating in her mind, but she hadn't found a suitable entry point to "sober her up."
During the brainstorming session, she heard Wen Jinye's calm voice.
"Everyone's gone, aren't you going to wake up?"
These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over his heart. Chen Jinzhao's breath stopped, and he opened his eyes in astonishment.
So shocked that even the slightest hint of guilt or embarrassment vanished.
"you--"
Shen Jinzhao was unsure how to react or what attitude to take towards Wen Jinye.
Wen Jin calmly sat back down, resting her chin on her hand, her clear eyes staring straight at Chen Jinzhao.
He uttered a startling statement in the most ordinary tone.
Are you avoiding Zhao Jinming?
The ending note did not rise at all.
It is not a question.
At this moment, Shen Jinzhao's true identity was revealed.
After a brief moment of mental blankness.
She gave a forced, insincere "hehe" sound twice.
"Guess what I'm thinking?"
Wen Jinye: "Are you thinking about how to provide a reasonable explanation?"
She never intended to pry into the details.
However, considering Shen Jinchao's various behaviors, combined with Wen Jin's previous superficial understanding of her, it was clear that Shen Jinchao's behavior was inappropriate.
They all point to that one possibility.
She is not Shen Mingxi.
She was the Shen family's daughter who ran away from her engagement party.
Wen Jin also tried to calm her down, saying, "You can say anything, I'll believe you."
Shen Jinzhao closed his eyes.
After being seen through by someone like Wen Jinye, I felt a faint sense of calm, as if I were dying.
It's okay, she'll just die if the sky falls.
So she spoke quite sincerely:
"I'm wondering whether I should kill him to silence him or die right now. You know Jiangbei well, why don't you show me a good location?"

A note from the author:
I've recently taken to updating at midnight~ What do you guys think?
I wrote this couplet entirely on a whim; it just came to mind in a flash and I really liked it, so I wrote it down.
After all, Shen Jinchao is a pivotal figure.
I'm happy and surprised that everyone was able to connect with me.
See you tomorrow!
