Chapter 03.1

The atmosphere in the room became even more bizarre than before. Su Qian’s words clearly explained why she insisted that the man in the photo was Jin Lie.

Telling such a lie that is easily exposed is to maintain her husband’s dignity, as well as her own.

Feeling Su Qian’s intentions, Mother Jin softened her expression, feeling somewhat guilty for her previous aggressiveness towards her.

“Qianqian, don’t worry, mom will stand up for you.”

She looked at Zhou Bingyan, her gaze becoming sharper. Zhou Bingyan was someone she had watched grow up and loved as her own child, so she naturally knew her feelings for Jin Lie.

But some things are hard to control, no one could have predicted the unexpected union of Jin Lie and Su Qian. On this point, Mother Jin felt sorry for Zhou Bingyan, and treated her even better than before. She thought she would let go and pursue her own happiness, but she didn’t expect her to be so stubborn, still having other thoughts even though Jin Lie was already married.

Infidelity is absolutely not allowed in the Jin family!

“Tell me, what’s going on between you two?”

This was the first time Zhou Bingyan saw such a serious expression on Mother Jin’s face, and she couldn’t help but shudder. Just now, in order to nail Su Qian with a lie, she blurted out in a hurry. After seeing Jin Lie’s cold eyes, she knew she had made a mistake.

At this moment, she could only explain with a stiff face, “That night… I just went to the company to find Brother Lie.”

Su Qian looked at her with red eyes, her voice somewhat choked, “But you posted a photo of him changing clothes in your circle of friends.”

“What?!” Mother Jin widened her eyes, burning with anger, “That’s outrageous!”

After saying that, she turned her head and scolded the silent Father Jin, “You should say something! Look at what your son has done!”

“It’s not Brother Lie’s fault! It’s because I…”

Zhou Bingyan was determined to nail Su Qian and completely ignored the matter of the circle of friends. At that time, she did this just to find an excuse for Su Qian to trouble her. Now she didn’t expect things to develop in this direction.

She was a bit anxious for a while, and stood up from the sofa with a jump. But the more anxious she was, the less she knew how to explain, and it seemed a bit like she was trying to cover up.

Mother Jin’s temples were throbbing, and she raised her hand to rub her forehead, “Then you should explain how the photo of him changing clothes came about?”

“I…”

Su Qian interjected at the right time, “Mom, haven’t you and dad seen this circle of friends?”

“Of course not!”

“Then Miss Zhou probably only made it visible to me.” She looked at Zhou Bingyan knowingly, and continued to add fuel to the fire without changing her expression, “Why did you do this? Are you trying to break up my marriage with Jin Lie?”

“I…” Zhou Bingyan’s face turned pale.

That day was actually her birthday. She didn’t receive a birthday wish from Jin Lie all night, which made her so angry that she got drunk and ran to the company to find him.

At that time, Jin Lie was still working. He handed her over to his secretary and ignored her. The angrier Zhou Bingyan thought about it, the angrier she got, so she deliberately knocked over the coffee on the office desk to attract his attention.

That photo was taken by her when Jin Lie went to the cloakroom to change clothes. Everything, including Su Qian coming to her to settle accounts and the ensuing dispute, was within her plan.

She directed and acted in a good play, but she didn’t expect the plot to collapse completely, and she became the one who was at a loss for words.

Zhou Bingyan’s eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears.

Jin Lie had been watching this farce until now, and he had long lost his patience.

“Changing clothes was because she spilled coffee on me. My secretary was in the office all the time, and there is complete surveillance. If you don’t believe it, you can check.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qian showed a relieved expression and said considerately, “So that’s how it is. It seems that I made a big deal out of a small matter. Don’t worry, even if I see such ambiguous photos in the future, I will choose to trust you.”

Jin Lie gave her a cool look. – I should thank you for your acting skills.

“Jin Lie is already married, and you should avoid any suspicion with Yan Yan in the future.” Father Jin was irritated by the ambiguous description and said with a stern face, “You are adults now, it’s not the same as when you were young.”

These words obviously excluded Zhou Bingyan, the outsider. After all, no matter how much Jin’s parents liked her, Su Qian was the daughter-in-law of the Jin family.

Zhou Bingyan felt extremely wronged, and the tears she had just held back suddenly welled up again. She gritted her teeth and glared at Su Qian resentfully, “Don’t think that changing the subject will work, you haven’t explained your matter clearly!”

She really wanted to pull someone down with her even if she was going down.

Unfortunately, she didn’t want to die in this melodramatic book.

Su Qian looked at her innocently, “The man in the photo is a producer, and my agent was there at the time.”

As she finished speaking, she took out her phone and put it on the table, “That day she happened to post in her circle of friends, if you don’t believe me, I can find it now.”

“Okay, you find——”

“No need.” Mother Jin interrupted Zhou Bingyan’s words, and said to Su Qian, “Mom believes you. Let’s end today’s matter here.”

What was originally a pleasant banquet turned into a farce.

“Godmother…”

Zhou Bingyan still wanted to argue, but was stopped by a look from Mother Jin, “That’s enough. You should apologize to Qianqian for today’s misunderstanding.”

Zhou Bingyan held her breath, clenched her fists, and the veins on the back of her hand were strained.

Having her bow her head to Su Qian was worse than death!

“Your godmother is right, in case Su Qian is wronged if things are not clear.” Father Jin agreed.

In an instant, the wind changed direction, and Zhou Bingyan’s heart fell to the bottom. The only thing she wanted to do now was to tear Su Qian’s face apart! Slap the smile off her face!

“Godfather, godmother…” Her voice was choked with sobs. At the same time, she looked at Jin Lie with a pitiful look, seeking help.

Mother Jin sighed, and said earnestly, “Yan Yan, don’t disappoint me.”

Zhou Bingyan clearly felt that mother Jin’s trust in her was fading.

After a fierce internal struggle, she gritted her teeth and spoke in order to leave a good impression on Jin’s parents.

Anyway, she has plenty of ways to make Su Qian pay back.

“Yes…”

“Wait a minute.”

Su Qian raised her head, hooked her red lips and gave Jin Lie a faint smile, “Could you make some room? I’m afraid I won’t be able to hear clearly.”

Jin Lie: “……” Do you listen with your eyes?

He gave Su Qian a meaningful look and slowly made room.
