Su Jinyu frowned and shook her head, saying, "This cannot be clarified. This and the marriage... cannot be confused with each other."
Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about an extremely complicated problem. "No..."
She stretched out the ending tone and pouted, "Kiss me back... and then I'll hug you back?"
Her rosy lips were slightly pouted, and her eyes were wide open, looking at Zhou Youchen with expectation.
Zhou Youchen looked at the woman's lips getting closer and closer, and felt a little flustered.
He put his index finger against her forehead in an unpleasant manner, his action was somewhat intimate, "You wish."
After saying that, 꺗 walked around her and headed towards the banquet.
His steps were a little hurried, as if he was trying to escape from this awkward and chaotic atmosphere.
Su Jinyu rubbed her brows, looked at Zhou Youchen's departing back, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She glanced around the venue, searching anxiously, but when she didn't see Chu Jin, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed.
The banquet ended successfully with excitement and discussion.
It also became a topic of conversation among people after dinner for a long time.
Su Jinyu and Zhou Youchen did not leave.
After getting the developed photos from the reporter of Minsheng Morning News, Su Jinyu and Zhou Youchen went to the study together.
When going upstairs, I ran into Zhang and her two children.
Zhang's face was gloomy, like the sky before a storm, covered with dark clouds.
She stopped Su Jinyu, her voice sharp and full of anger, "Jinyu, I thought you really wanted to hold such a banquet for me and Xiao Shuai... I didn't expect that you were only getting engaged for yourself!"
Her eyes were full of anger and disappointment as she stared straight at Su Jinyu.
Facing Zhang's anger, Su Jinyu raised her chin without showing any weakness, her eyes firm, "Aunt Zhang, no matter what my purpose is, I proposed this Sunday party to my father. Without my proposal, there would be no dinner party..."
Her voice was clear and echoed in the quiet corridor.
"You...you ruined this dinner." Zhang's voice trembled.
The more she looked forward to the dinner, the more disappointed she was.
Originally serving as the hostess, she was suppressed by Su Jinyu and had no sense of existence at all.
During the entire banquet, everyone was talking about Su Jinyu's divorce and re-engagement...
Even more people talked about Shen Jingan and Zhou Youchen than her.
She felt like a forgotten clown, completely marginalized in this feast.
Su Jinyu didn't care about her inner thoughts. Her tone was cold but revealed a hint of unquestionableness. She only said: "This dinner was very good. No one ruined it. You proved that you are the hostess of the Governor's Mansion... Isn't this what you have always wanted?"
After saying this, she went straight up the stairs, her steps firm and steady, leaving Zhang standing there, trembling with anger.
Su Jinyu, who was so aggressive and confident just now, now stood at the door of the study, feeling as if his heart was pounding like a lively rabbit, and he felt very weak.
Her hands were slightly sweaty and her eyes wandered unconsciously, not daring to look directly at the closed door.
Zhou Youchen looked at her like this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his laughter, "Why, you don't dare to go in?"
His voice was low and particularly clear in the relatively quiet corridor.
Su Jinyu raised her hand and touched her forehead. Her movements were a little awkward, and her voice was also a little timid. "I'm afraid my father will beat me..."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the study door, as if there was a monster hiding behind it.
Zhou Youchen took a step forward, his posture straight. He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door with his knuckles. His movements were steady, and he whispered, "If you really want to beat me, beat me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and pushed the door open.
Su Jinyu looked at Zhou Youchen who was standing tall in front of her, and secretly complained in her heart: Did this guy misunderstand something! !
Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes full of confusion, and she followed in unconsciously.
Just as they were wondering, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a thick book came towards them like a cannonball.
Su Jinyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Zhou Youchen reacted quickly and stood in front of Su Jinyu in an instant.
The book hit his chest heavily with a dull "bang" sound, and he couldn't help but groan.
Su Jinyu was extremely anxious upon seeing this. She quickly slammed the door shut and walked around to Zhou Youchen. Her eyes were full of worry. She looked at Zhou Youchen carefully and said anxiously, "Are you okay? You were injured..."
She turned around and angrily complained to Su Shuai, "Why don't you just talk it out calmly? Why are you doing this?!"
Her voice rose, filled with dissatisfaction.
"He was already injured. You hit him like this. Do you want me to be a widow?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two men present froze in place as if they were cast under a spell.
Su Yushuai looked at Zhou Youchen with a burning gaze, his eyes were as sharp as X-rays, and he also glanced at Zhou Youchen's lower body obscurely and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
There was a hint of concern in his voice, mixed with a bit of scrutiny.
Zhou Youchen sighed helplessly, his voice steady, "It's just some superficial injuries."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly and rubbed the place on his chest where he was hit.
Su Xiaoshuai coughed lightly, cleared his throat, looked at Su Jinyu, and his expression returned to seriousness, "Why are you yelling? You can't break it."
His tone carried a bit of the authority of an elder.
"How do you know it can't be broken!" Su Jinyu took the opportunity to reach out and touch Zhou Youchen's chest. The action seemed to be concerned, but in fact it was a little bit thoughtful.
Then he said righteously, "He's covered in wounds, and he has internal injuries. How are you going to compensate him?"
"What compensation do you need?!"
Su 꺶 Shuai thought of something and suddenly asked, "Answer me carefully, is it because of him that you divorced Shen Jingan?"
He pointed at Zhou Youchen and stared at Su Jinyu.
“No… What kind of person is Shen Jingan? I didn’t want to marry him in the first place.”
Su Jinyu curled her lips, her face full of disdain.
"You can choose not to get married?" Su Yushuai asked, with a probing look in his eyes.
"I was looking for clues..." Su Jinyu explained, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Seeing the father and daughter talking back and forth, bringing up the old scores, Zhou Youchen interrupted them at the right time, his voice steady and confident, "Now that we have a clue, we can continue investigating."
His words were like a barrier, instantly easing the tense atmosphere a little.
Su Jinyu also suddenly remembered those photos. She quickly walked to the side and laid out the developed photos one by one.
The people in these photos all have blue-green fluorescent light on their bodies, flashing strangely under the lights.
Those are fluorescent minerals marked on gold, which at least indicate that these people have come into contact with gold, or have been involved in corruption, or have been bribed.
