Chapter 190: The scratches on her face, from where she scratched herself.
Chapter 190: The scratches on her face, from where she had clawed...
He didn't know what key was used to open Wen Jinye's heart the first time.
But that key could no longer unlock her heart a second time.
But he will find a new key.
However, Wen Jinye seems aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs.
It's as if they're just going with the flow and being manipulated by others.
However, those who have truly met and understood her know that—
Compared to Fu Yanjing, who is extremely indifferent and claims he will never look back, she is the one who is stubborn and will never look back once she sets her mind on something.
Zhou Jichen found it novel to see Fu Yanjing like this, something he had rarely seen in his life.
He patted Fu Yanjing on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The road of love is winding and arduous."
You could hear a hint of schadenfreude in his words.
Fu Yanjing was already feeling frustrated and powerless, and he found it difficult to express his feelings.
He frowned, his deep eyes darkening. "You're chasing after people to kill them?"
Zhou Jichen had no idea when his heart had become so fragile; he couldn't stand even a single unpleasant word.
Wen Jin really pushed him to his limit.
Zhou Jichen, no longer wanting to remain uninvolved, began to reopen old wounds. With a casual glance, he noticed a clear bloodstain on Fu Yanjing's chin.
He offered genuine concern: "How did you get hurt?"
Fu Yanjing lowered his eyelids, his thick eyelashes casting a small shadow below.
The image of the warm, soft woman in his arms, and her innocent, dazed appearance, instantly flashed through his mind.
Her untrimmed, rounded nails left marks on his cheek like cat scratches.
Fu Yanjing's knuckles were rubbed very slightly, and the tingling pain lingered.
A hint of intriguing tenderness shone through his dark eyes.
"That's right, Wen Jin was arrested too."
Zhou Jichen: ...
Who asked?
The way he said it made it sound as if Wen Jinye was his own relative.

Wen Jin also "escaped" from prison with An Yu.
She declared that she had completely disgraced herself for the rest of her life.
Even after leaving the hospital, the abnormal flush on An Yu's face had not completely faded.
Her frustrated expression made it seem as if she wished she could burrow into the ground right now and crawl in a dark, twisted way.
"Although I know I shouldn't care about what others think, I can't help but think that if Zhou Jichen recognized me, he would be glad once again that he didn't accept my confession."
When An Yu confessed her feelings to Zhou Jichen, he rejected her so bluntly that it bothered her for a long time.
The sadness of being rejected may fade with time, but the radiating effect of rejection cannot.
I once doubted whether I was really just a pretty face with no skills.
This is why, even though the only real interaction between her and Zhou Jichen was the day she was rejected after confessing her feelings, An Yu still couldn't help but grumble and say nothing nice about Zhou Jichen whenever he was mentioned.
"Ahhhhh, I've imagined countless times my glamorous reunion with him, when I'm dazzling and successful. I'll challenge him to a duel to see if I'm just a pretty face. But in reality, every time I see him, I embarrass myself more than the last."
That was dramatic enough last time.
This time, we've lost face all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
I might as well just smash my head against a tofu block and die.
Wen Jin could also understand An Yu's feelings very well.
An Yu has always been a person with high aspirations and a strong sense of pride.
Especially in front of people they don't get along with, they can swallow their pride and laugh even when their teeth are broken, for fear of being seen in the slightest dishevelment.
But when she called An Yu, Dr. Zhou answered the phone.
Wen Jin was mentally prepared for An Yu to meet with him.
But clearly, we haven't done enough.
"What exactly caused your mushroom poisoning? What did you do to Dr. Zhou?" Wen Jin asked, her voice tinged with concern and a hint of probing.
An Yu looked blank, and said with a forced smile:
"I treated him like a dog, kissing and petting him for ages, and I even—"
"What else is wrong?"
At this point, An Yu felt even more like dying, "And they insisted on crawling down to see his parents..."
After this experience, both Wen Jin and An Yu gave up mushrooms.

The autumn sun was dim, and the whole city was still shrouded in a thin morning mist.
Today is Monday, the day Wen Jinye returns to the television station.
Wen Jin also said goodbye to An Yu at the hospital entrance, and went home to feed the cats and dogs.
The two whiny girls hadn't seen her all night, and one of them kept tugging at Wen Jinye's trouser leg with her little feet, whimpering softly.
One of them jumped onto Wen Jinye, its tail standing up, and meowed loudly in a childish voice.
Wen Jin managed to calm things down in a flurry of activity, then changed into a more casual light pink suit and applied professional light makeup.
He showed no signs of illness or fatigue.
The timing is perfect for going to the subway station now.
On her way to the TV station, Wen Jin received another call from An Yu.
"It's only been two hours since we parted, Miss An, you missed me so much, didn't you?"
An Yu let out two slow, sarcastic "Ha, ha," in a tone that suggested she had expected this:
"Honestly, I thought my internet speed was slow enough, but you didn't disappoint me at all. It's still 2G as always. Seriously, you should just switch to an old-fashioned phone."
Wen Jinye's battle-damaged phone has been used for many years; it's practically an old-fashioned phone, if not a basic one.
There are many photos and documents inside, and Wen Jin is used to it, so she is naturally too lazy to change it.
"What is it?"
An Yu said, "What a joyous occasion! It's wonderful!"
She had intended to remain mysterious, but as she spoke, she couldn't help herself, and her tone gradually became more agitated:
"You should go online and take a look. All the dirt on He Jiayu has been exposed online, and it's trending one after another, like setting off firecrackers during the New Year."
Wen Jin also put on her headphones and opened a social media app.
As expected, all the "explosion" and "heat" were related to He Jiayu.
Charity fraud.
Acting like a diva on set.
Resource Cafe.
He has a chaotic private life abroad.
Dog abuse.
Everything, from every angle, tore apart He Jiayu's hypocritical mask.
On the phone, An Yu was still enthusiastically explaining:
"I was saying that when I went crazy after eating mushrooms last night, I remembered that I was with Xu Xiangbai. How did I start going crazy towards Zhou Jichen later? I thought my memory was messed up."
"I only found out now that He Jiayu had a suicide attempt last night, insisting on jumping off the company rooftop. Xu Xiangbai, of course, cherishes his childhood sweetheart and cash cow, and spent half the night on the rooftop comforting her, his shirt was soaked with tears from her crying."
At this point, An Yu paused, "He Jiayu has probably really offended a big shot this time. The company isn't even intervening; it's all up to He Jiayu's team to hold on. The other party even managed to expose He Jiayu's past scandals about abusing her boyfriend, so they clearly have the ability to directly blacklist her, but they just won't. They're just constantly releasing negative trending topics about her, just grinding her down. What's the difference between this and being slowly tortured to death?"
An Yu's previous collaborations with He Jiayu were not pleasant at all; they were quite unpleasant!
Adding to that the affair between He Jiayu and Fu Yanjing, I dislike her even more.
Now she openly admitted to Wen Jin how happy she was, "Serves her right, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Before, she was so arrogant, why isn't she so arrogant now?"
Wen Jin, however, seemed somewhat lost in thought.
I just had a run-in with He Jiayu last night, and today all the dirt on her has exploded like a plague.
Is it a coincidence?
It was hard for her not to suspect that this was Fu Yanjing's doing.
