Although she said that, Han Tong knew very well that this person was Su Jin’s taboo. Asking her to make a request to him would not work either.
As expected, Su Jin’s expression stiffened. After a long while, she finally said, “My mom won’t let us meet again. If she finds out, she’ll break my legs for sure…”
That’s true!
Back then, when Mubai married Qin Xue instead, he had indeed angered her aunt badly.
Han Tong thought about it and decided not to force her. She had another idea. “Then, let’s find your new partner. Didn’t you say that he was running errands at a law firm? He definitely knows a lawyer. Let’s find one and ask him about this. Perhaps there might be another way…”
Su Jin remained silent.
“What’s wrong this time? Did you blow it? Hasn’t he contacted you for the past few days?” Han Tong asked carefully.
“Mhm, there was no contact.”
That person went to Shanghai and disappeared without a trace, like a rock sinking into the deep sea.
“Looks like there’s no chance for your relationship to develop,” Han Tong pursed her lips. “If a man likes a woman, how can he possibly not chase after her? But that doesn’t matter. My older sister is so capable, she will definitely marry well in the future!”
Su Jin did not reply and lowered her head, eating without tasting the food.
Ever since her adoptive mother had been diagnosed with liver cancer, she had been living in an abyss of suffering. It had been two months, and she had not had a single day of comfort. Even the toughest person would feel tired. And now, this had to happen too.
There was no one to discuss this with!
Could she count on the man she should call her husband?
She pinched the space between her eyebrows and felt a splitting headache.
After an inconclusive discussion, Su Jin got on the bus back to the office.
Sitting in front of her was a couple. The man gently held the woman in his arms while the woman leaned against his shoulder. The two of them were whispering to each other intimately.
