His face flushed red.

Su Jin was confused and frowned. “What does he want?”

“I don’t know!”

He shook his head and whispered an apology.

“Sister, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault. I was careless with my friends and caused trouble.”

Su Jin let out a long sigh and rubbed her younger brother’s head. How did the little sweetheart of the past become so unruly now?

The most puzzling thing was that she could not understand Zheng Kai’s intentions.

Forget it. If I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it anymore.

“Let’s go… back to the hospital. I’ll get a doctor to prescribe some medicine for you. Mom will be heartbroken to see you hurt like this…”

“Okay!”

“And…”

“What?”

“You can’t let Mom know about this. If she asks you about the injury on your face, you can say that it was because of a fight, but not a word about anything else. Otherwise, Mom will die from anger… She won’t be able to live for much longer. You should spend more time with Mom when you’re free so that she can leave happily. Don’t make her worry about you even before she leaves…”

Her eyes were red and she felt terrible.

Su Musheng lowered his head and kept quiet with his hands in his pockets.

At night, Su Jin stayed at the hospital to accompany her mother.

When her adoptive mother found out that her son had fought with someone, she only sighed. Su Jin and Su Musheng did not mention other matters.

The next day, on Tuesday, Su Jin went to the office. Because she’d taken the day off yesterday, she was swamped with work all day.

On the third day, she rushed out another design layout. She was so tired that she almost collapsed.

But if this deal was successful, she would be able to get a lot of bonuses, so she was working especially hard.

Han Tong asked her out for lunch on Thursday afternoon.

During the meal, Su Jin did not mention that she had already registered her marriage with someone. She only mentioned the trouble Musheng had created.

After Han Tong heard this, she smacked the table and scolded, “Why is that brat such a troublemaker? He keeps causing trouble every other day. He really needs to be taught a lesson…” After cursing for a while, she asked again, “How are you going to deal with these two matters now? They’re going to sue him for rape, and even premeditated assault. If he is punished for these two crimes, I’m afraid that he’ll be sentenced to three to five years…”

“Exactly!”

Su Jin exhaled and frowned deeply. Her temples were throbbing painfully and she was extremely frustrated.

“Why don’t you go find Grandpa Su? Maybe Grandpa Su will be willing to help you out on account of your past relationship with them. The Zheng and Su families are long-time friends. If Grandpa Su steps in personally, Zheng Kai might let Musheng off…”

“No! Because of Musheng, Grandpa lost his son. If he knew that Musheng’s behavior was so disappointing, I’m afraid that he would have a heart attack.”

She shook her head. Her grandfather’s health was deteriorating year by year. How could she bring up such a problem and shorten his lifespan even more?

“In that case, why don’t you go find Mubai? He knows a lot of people. He will definitely be able to help Musheng. No matter what, Musheng has addressed him as his elder brother for more than 10 years now. He has such a high status around the country now. Once he steps forward, Zheng Kai will definitely have to give him face…”
