Chapter 70 @Su Yizheng
The next day, Shi Jin used various connections to find the woman named Guoguo.
To be honest, he didn't quite remember what she looked like, only the faint scent of jasmine.
Looking at the woman trembling in front of him, Shi Jin felt no pity for her; he only wanted to get to the bottom of things.
He was so preoccupied with recuperating and the breakup with Bai Zhenzhu that he almost forgot to investigate what happened that night.
Fortunately, Shen Yifan reminded him, preventing him from continuing down the wrong path.
"You're Guoguo?"
The woman nodded fearfully.
Shi Jin only lingered on her face for a second before looking away and picking up his phone to look at the selfies Bai Zhenzhu had just posted on her WeChat Moments.
To Shi Jin, Guo Guo was just a woman who would do anything to get into bed; she couldn't cause any trouble at all, and he wouldn't feel any pity for her.
"Was it you that night?"
"Yes, it's me..."
"Speak, who ordered you to do this?"
Shi Jin's voice, as if chilled by poison, emanated from his throat, his tone becoming even more sinister, sending chills down one's spine.
Guoguo's heart skipped a beat as she remembered Sun Yixiao's instructions, and she dared not utter a single word.
Seeing that the woman was so ungrateful, Shi Jin had no choice but to threaten her: "I heard you have a younger brother in elementary school..."
"No, don't touch my brother!"
"Then tell me everything you know."
"I...can't say..." Guoguo cried uncontrollably, shaking her head vigorously.
"You may not know me, so you don't know my strength, but you should know the Shi family. If I want to do something to you or your brother, I can do it without anyone knowing. Do you think you can get away with it just by not saying anything?"
The Shi family? Of course Guoguo had heard of them. Anyone who had ever lived in Kyoto had heard of them. They were the most powerful of the powerful conglomerates, and they could do whatever they wanted in Kyoto.
Compared to Sun Yixiao, Guoguo was naturally more afraid of these powerful figures, so she could only resignedly say, "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."
“It was Sun Yixiao. He gave me 10,000 yuan and asked me to take advantage of you after you were drugged to get into your bed. I really don’t know anything else.”
"Sun Yixiao?"
He should have realized it sooner, but what benefit would Sun Yixiao gain from framing him like this? Was it just because of Bai Zhenzhu?
He felt there was something fishy about this, but business was more important, so he continued, "Give me Sun Yixiao's contact information... Also, record a clarification video now, clarifying that nothing happened between us that night."
...
Shi Jin took the video and prepared to go to Bai Zhenzhu to explain things clearly.
As a result, Yoon Ga-hee told her that Baek Jin-joo had gone to attend her high school alumni reunion.
"Young Master Shi, what a coincidence, Pearl just left. Why don't you come back to see her tomorrow?"
"Where did she go for her class reunion?"
Shi Jin didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to tell Bai Zhenzhu as soon as possible that he was innocent, that he hadn't done anything to betray her, and that he wanted to reconcile with her immediately.
Yin Jiaxi thought of how Bai Zhenzhu had spent the entire afternoon getting ready in the dormitory, and how excited and expectant she looked when she went out. Suddenly, she didn't know whether she should tell Shi Jin where Bai Zhenzhu was.
"Student Yin, tell me, where is the white pearl?"
Shi Jin reminded her again, and Yin Jiaxi finally came to her senses. After hesitating for a few seconds, she told Shi Jin the address of the bar.
She thought that since there was no possibility between them anyway, it would be better to let Shi Jin see it with his own eyes so that he could give up completely.
...
Before entering the private room, Bai Zhenzhu took out her small mirror and lip gloss from her bag for the 18th time, touched up her makeup, smoothed her hair, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.
Bai Zhenzhu spent an afternoon getting ready. She wore a white Chanel-style suit dress, paired with matching chunky heels, styled her hair in a low bun, and applied subtle, understated makeup.
She looks elegant and sophisticated, but is also very feminine.
She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, her heart pounding wildly.
It's been five years; she hasn't seen him in five years...
Wow! Isn't that Bai Zhenzhu, our junior?!
When a senior from high school saw Bai Zhenzhu come in, he immediately stood up and greeted her warmly.
Bai Zhenzhu glanced at her senior and recognized him as her best friend from high school, named Liu Bing, who was now a project manager at the largest software development company in China and was doing very well.
Bai Zhenzhu's heart tightened. If she saw Liu Bing, it meant he must have come too.
Her gaze swept around the private room again and again, but she couldn't find the person she most wanted to see.
Finally, she turned her attention back to Liu Bing, and replied with a smile and politeness, "Hello, senior."
When the others saw Bai Zhenzhu enter, they all turned to look, especially the male students, who were practically drooling.
"Hey, isn't that our school's famous beauty queen? I remember she was really good at drawing!"
"Yeah, I heard she's studying fine arts at an art academy now, and she's the school beauty. The line of guys chasing after her could stretch all the way to France!"
Bai Zhenzhu didn't care what others said about her; she only cared whether he came or not.
She slowly sat down, picked up a glass of juice, took a small sip, and kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the door.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, he asked Liu Bing, who was sitting next to him.
"Senior, isn't Senior Su coming today?"
Yesterday, we were suddenly notified in the alumni group that there would be an alumni reunion tonight, and we hope that those who are free can attend.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't want to come at first, since there was no one she wanted to see.
But suddenly someone tagged Su Yizheng, asking him if he would come to the alumni reunion tomorrow.
After graduating from high school, Su Yizheng went to the United States and did not return to Korea for five years.
Everyone exchanged polite greetings, but unexpectedly, Su Yizheng replied that he would attend the alumni reunion tomorrow.
When Bai Zhenzhu saw this message, she was excited, nervous, and scared all at the same time.
I even had a sleepless night...
