"If, I'm just saying if... He Nuoxin cos back..."
Lin Zhenxin bit her lip, her eyes couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand!
"The third clause of our agreent." Li Yanan's answer was direct and forceful.
——Third, I can never accept infidelity in marriage!
Lin Zhenxin pursed her lips and smiled, most of her depression dissipating.
Then, the two of them quietly finished their breakfast...
Lin Zhenxin went ho and went to sleep.
Perhaps she underestimated the power of the dia, because the next morning, she was woken up by the phone ringing.
An unfamiliar call.
As soon as she answered, she heard soone on the other end claiming to be a reporter wanting to interview her.
Panicking, Lin Zhenxin hung up without saying another word.
Why would a reporter be calling her?
But just after she hung up, the phone started ringing madly again, so she didn't dare pick up any calls easily, and simply turned off her phone.
Sitting dazed on the bed, she didn't even notice when grandma ca in.
"Xinxin, you're on TV." Grandma said, holding an orange while eating it.
Lin Zhenxin's eyes widened and she ran out without even putting on shoes.
Sure enough, the TV was airing sothing about her, although it was pixelated, the wedding certificate photo was there.
Yesterday, Li Yanan had just ntioned having a wife, and today the dia already dug up their marriage photo. No wonder her phone was flooded with calls.
"Xinxin, beautiful!" Grandma praised while stuffing a sweet orange into her mouth.
"Madam." Aunt Xu appeared silently behind her, startling Lin Zhenxin.
"Xu... Aunt Xu..."
"Sir's calling, your phone is unreachable." Saying this, Aunt Xu handed the phone to her.
Lin Zhenxin took the phone in her hand.
"Zhenxin, don't panic, I'll handle it, at most two hours." The calm voice was a shot of encouragent to the flustered Lin Zhenxin.
"I..."
"Call your station, take two days off first."
"I understand."
After hanging up, Lin Zhenxin sat blankly on the sofa for a long ti before finally calling the station...
In the presidential suite on the hotel's top floor.
He Bainian held a few sheets of paper, sitting on the sofa looking at them.
On the red-background marriage photo, Lin Zhenxin's face had a gentle blush, like a peach petal.
But soon, He Bainian expressionlessly fed the papers into the shredder.
A few seconds later, they were all shredded into strips.
He picked up the phone and dialed a call, which was quickly answered.
He said a few simple words, then hung up.
But how could He Bainian know the person on the other end of the line showed a bitter expression as soon as they heard him.
Who exactly is this Lin Zhenxin?
Why does it seem like several people want to help her block troubles?
They only exposed a gossip piece, after all...
Two hours later, Lin Zhenxin tried turning on her phone, breath held in nervous anticipation.
The screen lit up but no calls ca in, as quiet as if it had never rung crazily before.
Her anxious heart finally eased.
It seed like no matter what happened, Li Yanan could always handle it.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
Going to the balcony, the two pots of tomato seedlings stood quietly there, Aunt Xu having just watered them, their leaves fresh green.
A small smile curled up without even Lin Zhenxin noticing.
But in the next second, the peaceful atmosphere was shattered by the phone's shrill ring again!
"Hello?" She picked up the call.
"Don't you have any sha left!" A rough, hoarse old man's voice rang out, and upon realizing who it was, Lin Zhenxin's expression imdiately darkened.
"Mr. Tu, did you lecture the wrong person? We're neither relatives nor friends, what gives you the right to scold ?"
It was Tu Shaohong who was personally calling!
Lin Zhenxin let out a cold laugh, what did she do to deserve such 'concern' from the Tu family!
Whatever Tu Shaohong said next, Lin Zhenxin couldn't be bothered to respond and directly hung up the call!
Everyone has parts of themselves they don't want others to touch.
For Lin Zhenxin, that untouched part went by the na 'Tu Family'!
Not knowing how long she stood there, she composed herself and let out a deep breath.
Lin Zhenxin took three days off work, thinking the station wouldn't approve, surprisingly they agreed right away, unexpectedly easygoing.
Little did she know, in the morning the broadcasting station had been sward by reporters, the grand scale frightening the managent considerably.
Upon hearing it was related to Lin Zhenxin, they had already planned on giving her a few days' leave to let the dia frenzy cool off, coincidentally she called at the right mont.
A perfect fit!
Her finger inadvertently slid over the contact list, landing on Yao Lemon's na.
Lemon...
Thinking back to the last eting, seeing her thin figure, Lin Zhenxin imdiately called her.
Yao Lemon quickly answered, saying she was just heading to pick up her wedding dress, and without thinking, Lin Zhenxin said she'd accompany her.
The two set a place to et, Lin Zhenxin went back to wash up and change, and soon left the house...
Inside the bridal shop.
Upon seeing Yao Lemon, Lin Zhenxin frowned, she had lost more weight.
"Lemon..." Before she could finish, Yao Lemon interrupted.
"Zhenxin, I saw you on TV today!" Much like what Grandma had said.
Though pixelated, familiar eyes could instantly recognize the features behind the veil of pixels.
"I called you all morning, but it was turned off."
Yao Lemon was most worried about Lin Zhenxin being bullied; knowing her phone was off, she went over to her and Grandma's old house, but no one was there.
"The reporters sohow got my number; my phone was nearly boiling over."
Lin Zhenxin and Yao Lemon sat on the sofa waiting for the staff to bring the wedding dress.
Yao Lemon lightly coughed twice, reaching into her bag, pulling out two boxes and thrust them into Zhenxin's hands with a mischievous grin.
"These haven't hit the market yet..."
Seeing her smile reminded Lin Zhenxin of last ti's misunderstanding, making her face flush with heat.
"Yao Lemon, do you carry your family's products everywhere?"
The two chatted and laughed, Yao Lemon's thin face looked sowhat healthier.
The staff quickly brought over the wedding dress.
Upon seeing the dress, Yao Lemon didn't seem the least bit joyful; if anything, her expression turned serious.
She appeared to be waiting for sothing, her gaze frequently darting to the entrance, which Lin Zhenxin noticed, exchanging a glance with Yao Lemon.
"Zhenxin, Gu Yaoyao might co by later, take care of yourself, don't mind ."
Yao Lemon said softly, knitting Lin Zhenxin's brows, Gu Yaoyao's coming? How did Lemon know?
What exactly was Lemon planning?
Just as Lin Zhenxin was pondering this, the glass door of the bridal shop swung open from outside, revealing the young, beautiful face of Gu Yaoyao.
Entering, she seed to be searching for sothing, and quickly, she locked onto her target...
Yao Lemon casually pushed forward a bamboo basket filled with needles, scissors, and such on the table.
Whether intentionally or not, the angle was just right for the approaching Gu Yaoyao to notice.
Lin Zhenxin took in Yao Lemon's actions, casting a deep look at her.
"Yao Lemon!" Gu Yaoyao quickly ca forward, yet Yao Lemon remained unhurriedly received the wedding dress from the staff.
A white dress, beautifully fitting.
"Where'd this barking dog co from? So annoying!" Yao Lemon's words were infuriating.
Gu Yaoyao had never suffered such indignities, surrounded by prying eyes, her face changed colors rapidly.
"Was it you who reported to our school authorities about my inappropriate relationships?"
Gu Yaoyao had not long graduated; her father had arranged for her to stay on as a teaching assistant.
Today, the principal called her in, handing her a sealed anonymous letter, by virtue of her father's influence, they were doing her a favor.
"Does it matter if I reported it? What matters is that you do have inappropriate relationships."
Yao Lemon sneered, her thin face calm yet those clear eyes holding hatred and resentnt, keeping an outward appearance of serenity.
"Let tell you, my dad has connections; you won't easily ruin my reputation!"
Gu Yaoyao tore the letter apart right in front of Yao Lemon, scattering the pieces at her.
Yao Lemon and Lin Zhenxin stepped back, avoiding them.
The bridal shop was eerily silent, and all gazes turned towards them.
Though young and impetuous, Gu Yaoyao's face flushed crimson, tears hanging on the verge.
"I admit, I sent the letter, but don't you send lewd texts to my phone every day? This is tit for tat, a warning for you to stop eyeing soone else's man!" Yao Lemon's deanor remained unchanged, only toying with the dress in her hands.
"Don't forget, you and Wu Feng aren't married yet! Moreover, he loves !" Gu Yaoyao said through clenched teeth.
"Did you go in for a match test? Do you have bone marrow to donate for his mother? Did you know that since Wu Feng graduated, I've been supporting him, and look...now he's obediently back with preparing to marry?" Yao Lemon's words were strikingly precise, effortlessly fueling Gu Yaoyao's anger.
Throughout, Lin Zhenxin remained silent.
She could see Lemon's intention to provoke Gu Yaoyao.
At this mont, Gu Yaoyao's eyes were bloodshot, her chest heaving violently.
"Marry, marry! I just want you not to get married!" As Lin Zhenxin was considering this, startled cries suddenly reached her ears.
Just then, Gu Yaoyao had sohow grabbed the scissors from the basket, viciously yanking Yao Lemon's wedding dress!
A cold glint flickered in Yao Lemon's eyes, but her face feigned terror, and in that instant, Lin Zhenxin realized what she intended to do!
"Lemon!"
The mont before Yao Lemon could reach out, Lin Zhenxin moved first to shield her.
"Ah..."
"Murder..."
"Call the police, call the police..."
Screams echoed without stop in the bridal shop, chaos erupting instantly.
Gu Yaoyao's pupils dilated; she only ant to shred Yao Lemon's dress, how did this happen...
Yao Lemon's expression froze, the dress slipping from her hands.
On Lin Zhenxin's snow-white arm was a long, bleeding cut, as if in slow motion, the blood slowly seeped out, dripping onto the wedding dress.
"Zhenxin!" Yao Lemon panicked, pressing her hand against Lin Zhenxin's wound, getting blood all over her hand.
This pain was supposed to be hers!
She had calculated everything, how did Zhenxin end up taking the hit for her?
Tears blurred Yao Lemon's vision, her hand trembling, yet Lin Zhenxin gently wrapped her unhurt arm around Lemon's shoulder.
