If Wen Jin’s call just now surprised Jin Zheyu.
Then, Wen Jin’s answer now shocked Jin Zheyu even more.
To the point that his voice changed, "You say it was Zheng Shirui spreading rumors, Wen Jin, do you have evidence?"
Wen Jin sneered, "Jin Zheyu, do you really think that just because Xiaocha let Zheng Shirui go, she would change her ways and stop harming Xiaocha?"
"...I, but how would Zheng Shirui know about Xiaocha’s past? Shouldn’t it be Zhang Jinlei who leaked it to the dia?"
Jin Zheyu was unwilling to believe that after Xiaocha let Zheng Shirui go, the latter would instead intensify her harm.
In that case, she would hate him to death.
Because he was the one who went to find Xiaocha, using the injury he had previously suffered for her and their friendship as the price for it.
For Zheng Shirui, he painfully agreed to beco strangers with Xiaocha from then on.
Wen Jin scoffed at Jin Zheyu’s words, "I just t with Zhang Jinlei and learned that Zheng Liangzhu called him, asking him to take the fall for Zheng Shirui."
"..."
There was a mont of silence on the phone.
Wen Jin didn’t care what Jin Zheyu was thinking and continued, "Jin Zheyu, you made things difficult for Xiaocha to get her to let Zheng Shirui go. It shows how deeply you care for Zheng Shirui. Since that’s the case, let give you a big gift today."
"I didn’t expect Zheng Shirui to do such a thing either."
Jin Zheyu’s tone betrayed his guilt.
If he had known that letting Zheng Shirui go wouldn’t bring about her repentance but rather intensified harm,
he wouldn’t have gone even if his father asked him to.
"There are many things you didn’t expect." Wen Jin remained disdainful towards Jin Zheyu throughout, always cold and mocking.
More than he disliked Jin Zheyu’s interest in Xiaocha, he looked down on Jin Zheyu for harming Xiaocha for his own interests.
Therefore, from the mont Jin Zheyu pleaded for Zheng Shirui, putting Xiaocha in a difficult position, he had contempt for this person.
"I’ll find Zheng Shirui and make her apologize to Xiaocha." Jin Zheyu’s voice ca through the line, stiff.
Wen Jin refused him without hesitation, "No need, you don’t need to stand up for Xiaocha. Just recognize Zheng Shirui’s true face. I’ll send you an email soon. It’s a secret about Zheng Shirui."
"Zheng Shirui’s secret?"
"Right, you’ll understand after you see it. However Zheng Shirui hard Xiaocha, she will pay for it in kind. Jin Zheyu, if you really feel guilty about what you’ve done, you should know what to do next."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Qin Mu had been listening for a long ti but didn’t catch the main point.
Seeing Wen Jin hang up, he felt sowhat uninterested, "Ah Jin, why didn’t you just tell Jin Zheyu directly? I wanted to see how he would react."
"No rush for now."
After making the call, Wen Jin’s emotions also subsided.
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, holding his patience, "Alright, then I’ll wait a bit longer and see if Jin Zheyu can et our expectations."
Wen Jin sent Zheng Shirui’s scandal to Jin Zheyu’s email.
During the wait, he dialed Jing Xiaocha’s number again.
At this mont, Jing Xiaocha was in the Wen Family’s garden, watering flowers.
Beside her, Aunt Chen chatted with her; if not for the unpleasant rumors from the morning, living at the Wen Family was quite comfortable for Jing Xiaocha.
When the phone rang, she still had a watering can in her hand.
Aunt Chen smiled and reached out, "Xiaocha, let water them, you answer the phone."
Jing Xiaocha handed the watering can to Aunt Chen, took out her phone, and lightly pressed her lips together. Her slender fingers pressed the answer button, "Hello, Brother Wen."
"What are you doing?"
Wen Jin’s voice ca through, low and gentle, with a hint of warmth.
A strange warmth surged in Jing Xiaocha’s heart just because it was Wen Jin calling, and the voice she heard was his.
"I’m in the garden, watering flowers with Aunt Chen."
Today the weather was very nice, with bright sunshine.
Although it was winter, such sunny weather was still warm.
Wen Jin chuckled on the other end of the phone, "The sunshine is nice today, it’s good to bask in the sun, but be careful not to touch your wound."
"Brother Wen, I’m very careful. I won’t touch the wound."
Except for the accidental incident that day, she wouldn’t possibly touch the wound herself, would she?
"As long as you don’t, that’s good. By the way, I’ve asked Zhang Jinlei already, it wasn’t him who leaked it to the dia."
When Wen Jin got to the point, the warmth in his tone remained, but the trace of a smile faded away.
Jing Xiaocha was slightly stunned, "It wasn’t him?"
"He ntioned sothing to Zheng Liangzhu before, but today those rumors in the paper were told to the reporters by Zheng Shirui."
"Zheng Shirui?"
Jing Xiaocha repeated in surprise.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but guess if Brother Wen would be angry with her because of this.
That day, when she agreed to let Zheng Shirui go, Wen Jin was so angry he slamd the door.
Now, Zheng Shirui really...
Brother Wen must bla her, right?
On the phone, Wen Jin couldn’t see Jing Xiaocha’s expression.
But it seed he sensed a bit of peculiarity in her tone, and instead of blaming her, he comforted, "As long as we know Zheng Shirui did it, everything else will be easy. Don’t be upset by those rumors anymore; we’ll talk more when I get ho."
"Brother Wen, I won’t be upset by those baseless things anymore."
"Hmm, I guess Ranran and Mo Xiuchen will be there soon. If they co, ask them to stay and have lunch."
Wen Jin thought for a mont and gently reminded her.
Hearing this, Jing Xiaocha suddenly had a different feeling.
It felt as if she had suddenly beco the hostess of the Wen Family. Brother Wen even asked her to have Sister Wen and Mo General stay for lunch.
You know, in front of Wen Ran, she was the outsider here.
After all, this was Wen Ran’s maternal ho, no matter how you put it.
But, Wen Jin’s words couldn’t be refused. Although it felt strange, she still agreed, "Alright, I’ll definitely ask Sister Wen and them to stay for lunch."
"There’s another call coming in; I’ll talk to you again during lunch at ho."
With Jin Zheyu’s call coming in, Wen Jin ended his conversation with Jing Xiaocha.
Qin Mu observed Wen Jin’s expression while he was talking to Jing Xiaocha, and his lips curled up unconsciously.
It seems Ah Jin has really fallen in this ti.
In the past, apart from Ranran, Wen Jin never showed such a gentle and indulgent look, not even towards Jing Xiaocha.
He silently thought about whether to find soone to place a bet and win back the money to give Ah Jin later.
But who to bet with?
Mo Xiuchen, with his cunning nature, is definitely out. Should he look for Ah Kai or trick Ah Feng?
