Chapter 88



Marshal Su patted his head and pretended to be enlightened: "Look at my memory... When you give birth to a child, don't forget to tell me, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Keming's shoulder again. The action seemed intimate, but it made Shen Keming tremble slightly.

"Old Shen, I envy you so much. You'll have a grandchild soon."

There was a hint of ridicule in Marshal Su's voice, but Shen Keming felt like he had a thorn in his back.

Shen Keming hung his head like a defeated rooster and said nothing.

His face was terribly gloomy, his eyes were full of embarrassment and helplessness. He didn't expect that Marshal Su would reveal the truth about his divorce for the sake of Su Jinyu's reputation.

After listening to this conversation, everyone still had something to understand.

They had only been married for a few months, and their concubine was pregnant. Given Sister Su's status, she couldn't stand it and divorced.

For a moment, a subtle atmosphere filled the banquet hall. Everyone was laughing and only said congratulations, not mentioning anything else.

Some people's eyes flickered, secretly observing the expressions of Shen Jingan and Su Jinyu;

Some people were talking in low voices, their voices as low as the buzzing of mosquitoes;

Others held their wine glasses and sipped them calmly, trying to hide their inner curiosity.

Zhou Youchen appeared in front of everyone and was recognized by Marshal Su, so he was already considered half a son-in-law of the Governor's Office.

The crowd was filled with praise.

"Captain Zhou is a handsome man, and he and Miss Su are a perfect match made in heaven." A young woman in a gorgeous dress exclaimed, her eyes full of envy.

"Yes, Captain Zhou is conscientious and responsible in his work, and he will definitely take good care of Sister Su Xiao in the future."

"These two standing together are a perfect match."

Su Jinyu caught a glimpse of someone silently trying to leave. She looked closely and found that it was the chief of police station.

Her heart moved, and she strode forward to block the way.

At this moment, her posture was light yet resolute, like a proud peacock.

She said with a smile: "Director, has this person left?"

The sound was clear and pleasant, but to the director, it sounded like a thunderclap.

The police chief's expression changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed across his originally calm face, like a ball thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I haven't congratulated you yet."

As he spoke, he forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.

"yes."

Su Jinyu waved at Zhou Youchen, and when he came closer, she said loudly: "Youchen works under you, and I still need your care."

She deliberately raised her voice a few notches, attracting the attention of people around her.

"I dare not."

When the chief of police thought of what he had done before, he felt a chill on his back and cold sweat streamed down his body like beads from a broken string.

No wonder Zhou Youchen forcefully told Marshal Su the truth. It turns out there is such a relationship.

Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster.

He pretended to be calm and praised: "Youchen is smart and capable, and he works hard."

Su Jinyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Father Marshal often says this...but..."

She stretched out the last syllable of her voice and tilted her head to look at him. Her eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the director's heart.

"Director, please don't give Youchen any trouble in the future."

As soon as she said this, everyone thought that "opening the stove" was to provide convenience for Zhou Youchen, and they all laughed.

Some people laughed so hard that they fell over, while others covered their mouths and laughed secretly. The banquet hall was filled with cheerful laughter.

But the director heard the warning in the words, his face turned pale in an instant, and he quickly stated his attitude, his voice trembling a little: "No, absolutely not."

"Well then..." Su Jinyu glanced at him indifferently, her eyes full of disdain.

Then she took Zhou Youchen away. Her steps were light and confident, like a victorious swan, she slowly left in the eyes of everyone.

Zhou Youchen sighed silently, filled with many unspeakable emotions.

He followed behind Su Jinyu with heavy steps, his eyes full of complicated expressions, showing helplessness about the current situation.

Although his reason told him that Su Jinyu suddenly proposed engagement in order to protect himself, there was always a voice in his heart whispering that he had done nothing, but it seemed that he was using his beauty to please others...

He is a man who "treats people with his appearance", and the air pressure around him is terribly low, as if a layer of haze is covering his head.

Su Jinyu followed beside him and keenly felt the oppressive atmosphere. She felt as if she was wrapped in a layer of cold film and felt uncomfortable all over.

Her heartbeat unconsciously quickened, and the "thump thump" sound echoed in her ears like a rapidly beating war drum.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to break the deadlock, but her throat seemed to be blocked, so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

After all, it was she who pushed the other person into a trap and took advantage of him in public. No matter how she thought about it, she was the one who was at fault first. This guilt was like a mountain, weighing heavily on her heart.

She was absentmindedly racking her brains to organize her words, trying to ease the suffocating atmosphere, but was interrupted by a deep voice.

"Congratulations, Miss Su..."

The voice was low-pressure and had a frosted texture, like rough sandpaper rubbing against the eardrum, instantly sending a chill down Su Jinyu's spine.

Her body suddenly stiffened, as if struck by an electric current, and her originally disordered heartbeat skipped a beat.

This was the first time after her rebirth that she felt fear so clearly. The fear was like a surging tide that instantly drowned her.

She didn't need to look up; just by the sound, she knew who was coming.

Zhou Youchen was keenly aware of the nervousness of the person next to her. Her body was trembling slightly, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.

Although he was full of doubts, he subconsciously put his arm around her shoulders, trying to give her some warmth and comfort.

His palms were broad and strong, transmitting warmth through the thin clothes.

But he clearly felt that the woman's slightly trembling body was becoming more and more intense, which made him look up at the person who was approaching.

The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, which made his figure look tall and straight. He had a handsome face, but his slender eyes were sinister and fierce, and his eyes were chilling. He gave off a dangerous aura that said "stay away from me, don't mess with me".

Zhou Youchen guessed who he was in his heart, and asked in a vigilant voice, "Who are you?"

Chu Jin raised a faint smile, which was a bit arrogant and wanton. He introduced generously, "Chu Jin, the distinguished guest from the south."

He made no secret of his identity, and spoke in a loud voice, as if announcing his insignificance to the whole world, his arrogance evident in his words.

South? Quite frank.
