After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

"Hey buddy, what's it to you? You've come to the wrong place if you're trying to be a hero."

The group immediately surrounded Jin Xinghan.

Even if they stood on 20-centimeter stilts, they might not be as tall as Jin Xinghan.

Tang Xia was also worried that Jin Xinghan would suffer a loss, after all, they had the numbers and the power.

"Mr. Jin..."

"You two go first, I'll handle things here."

Tang Xia had just started speaking when Jin Xinghan interrupted her.

The thugs laughed arrogantly, "I see you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with a death sentence. Fine, little beauties, you go first. I'll come find you after I beat this show-off to a pulp."

Tang Xia would naturally not abandon Jin Xinghan alone.

But given the current situation, she and Song Zhiruo would only be a hindrance.

She bit her lip and finally made her decision.

"Mr. Jin, please hold on a little longer, I'll be back by your side soon!"

After saying that, she carried Song Zhiruo on her back and walked outside with some difficulty.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to call the police, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She instinctively turned around and threw a punch, but the person who came in easily grabbed it.

A soft chuckle came from beside me: "So wary now, what were you doing before?"

For a moment, Tang Xia even wondered if she was trapped in a maze of ghosts.

"Mr. Jin? You weren't... just now..."

Tang Xia was momentarily speechless.

The fierceness in Jin Xinghan's eyes had not yet dissipated, and he said indifferently, "They're all as thin as sticks, it won't be long."

Even though that's what she said, Tang Xia still looked at him with concern: "Are you alright?"

"fine."

Jin Xinghan was not lying about this.

Dealing with those thugs made my heart beat slower than when I first met Tang Xia.

"Get in the car."

Although Tang Xia still had many questions in her mind, she still got into the car.

Song Zhiruo leaned on her shoulder, and somehow regained some clarity.

It's also possible that he got even more drunk and started talking nonsense.

"Sister Tang Xia, there's a secret I've been keeping from you. I discovered it a long time ago: the place you sneak off to every day is actually President Jin's office, isn't it?"

"!"

Tang Xia instinctively covered her mouth.

Even though Song Zhiruo was drunk, she was still very strong and managed to take both of her hands and hold them.

"I knew it! That time when we went to the conference room, I felt something was off. Why was President Jin always looking this way? He was definitely looking at you!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This also affected Jin Xinghan, who was driving in the front seat.

Both of their faces turned suspiciously red.

Song Zhiruo's words became increasingly unrestrained and explicit.

Jin Xinghan suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove off the main road, then slammed on the brakes, almost sending Song Zhiruo flying.

"Oh my god! What's wrong with this driver? Does he even know how to drive?!"

"get off!"

The cold voice, along with the rolled-down car window and the cold wind blowing in, cooled down Song Zhiruo, who was drunk.

As if realizing something, she immediately hugged Tang Xia tightly: "It's so cold outside, don't get out of the car."

After saying that, she fell asleep again.

Tang Xia couldn't help but wonder if she had drunk alcohol or taken sleeping pills.

Jin Xinghan parked the car by the river.

What he just said was clearly just a joke.

In the end, he was the one who got off the bus.

Tang Xia stared out the car window at the man's back in the distance, momentarily lost in thought.

After Jin Xinghan finished his call, he came over and said to her, "I've already asked Liang Jingfang to come and pick you up, so you don't need to worry too much."

Tang Xia snapped out of her daze and hummed in response.

Then she remembered the question she hadn't asked earlier.

"By the way, Mr. Jin, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Looking into her eyes, Jin Xinghan suddenly felt a little helpless. He raised his phone and said, "Didn't you send me this message yourself?"

"what?!"

Tang Xia immediately opened the message page.

really!

She was so flustered that she sent the message without seeing the profile picture clearly.

In addition, there were more than a dozen missed calls on the phone.

All of them were calls from Jin Xinghan.

It's easy to imagine how anxious he must have been when he received that cryptic text message from Tang Xia and couldn't reach her, which is why he made so many phone calls.

Tang Xia was moved, but also felt a little guilty.

"Mr. Jin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I originally intended to send it to Teacher Liang."

Although Tang Xia said this most likely because of the relationship between Liang Jingfang and Song Zhiruo, Jin Xinghan still felt inexplicably jealous.

Just as he was about to say something, a blinding light flashed, interrupting his thoughts.

After parking the car, Liang Jingfang hurriedly ran over.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Teacher Liang, Zhiruo is drunk and is in the car."

Tang Xia still felt that Liang Jingfang had handled the matter incorrectly.

She didn't give him a very friendly look either.

Liang Jingfang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something.

Jin Xinghan's brows furrowed, and he immediately opened the car door, saying, "Take them away."

Seeing Song Zhiruo completely drunk, Liang Jingfang had no choice but to swallow back the words he was about to say: "Thank you for your trouble, President Jin."

After they left, only Tang Xia and Jin Xinghan remained by the river.

Perhaps to break the awkward atmosphere, Tang Xia took the initiative to talk about her work at Huanyu.

Finally, she even voiced a doubt that had been weighing on her mind: "Mr. Jin, I always feel that Ms. Liang is targeting me. Am I really doing a bad job?"

This conclusion was not just her own wild guess; Song Zhiruo and Wang Xiaoyu had even figured it out.

Jin Xinghan hoped that was really the case.

But when he heard Tang Xia begin to doubt his abilities, he chose to tell her the truth.

"He's targeting you not because you're bad, quite the opposite, because you're too outstanding." Jin Xinghan paused before continuing, "Do you remember when you first graduated, you submitted your resume to Huanyu?"

"I remember when I received the offer, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several days."

"But you still chose to refuse and go back... to get married."

Both of them looked rather somber.

Jin Xinghan recalled how happy Liang Jingfang was when he brought her resume to his office that day.

"That day, he was like he'd struck gold in the river. He even said that I would definitely make a name for myself in the construction industry, and when HR told him I'd declined the offer, he..."

I felt angry and regretful.

Tang Xia's face was full of astonishment.

She genuinely didn't know about it.

But he had already begun to regret the foolish decision he had made.

What Jin Xinghan didn't say was that he was overjoyed when he learned she was coming.

But later, they missed out on so many things and made so many mistakes.

That led to that irreversible, wrong outcome.
