Jin Mingzhu was also a little surprised. There were so many people coming and going in this store, and she didn't expect that the owner would still remember her.

"Uncle, do you still remember me?"

The old man said happily:

"How could I not remember? It's all thanks to you that my shop is still here. You have helped me so much."

After hearing what the shop owner said, Jin Mingzhu recalled that the land rented by the old man was sold by the second landlord. It was the cooperation of Jin Mingzhu and Xu Yang, who exposed the matter and filed a lawsuit, that helped the old man keep the shop.

Jin Mingzhu was also very happy to see the old man's prosperous business. She and Xu Yang had done a lot of meaningful things together, and it was always good to leave something behind.

The old man waved his hand arrogantly:

"Xiao Yang, add a few more signature dishes to this table, free of charge."

When Jin Mingzhu heard this, she stood up and refused:

"How can we let you treat us? Thank you, sir. We can just pay for it ourselves."

The old man waved his hand nonchalantly and said generously:

"Student Jin, don't be polite to me."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Jin Mingzhu had to agree and thanked the owner for his generosity.

She stood up, and the shop owner noticed her slightly bulging belly and said in surprise:

"Now that you're pregnant, your husband is the young man who used to come with you, right? He's so patient and considerate to you."

When the shop owner mentioned Xu Yang, Jin Mingzhu's expression turned cold. Just when she was about to say something...

Gu Huaijin, who was completely ignored, coughed at this time. Seeing his increasingly ugly expression, Jin Mingzhu explained:

"We separated and now I'm married and this is my husband."

The shop owner looked a little embarrassed and took the initiative to extend his hand to show goodwill:

"I'm so sorry."

Gu Huaijin glanced at her calmly, not wanting to shake hands. Jin Mingzhu pushed him away, but Gu Huaijin shook her hand back, speaking calmly and solemnly:

"I am her husband—Gu Huaijin."

"Student Jin, you guys eat, I won't disturb you."

"Thank you, boss." Jin Mingzhu thanked him, sat down and picked up the chopsticks.

Seeing Gu Huaijin standing there motionless, just watching her eat, she handed the chopsticks to Gu Huaijin, motioning for him to try it.

The other party refused with a look of disdain:

"you eat."

Jin Mingzhu stuffed the chopsticks into his hands, her tone softened, and she said coquettishly:

"Mr. Gu, thank you for accompanying me to eat spicy hot pot. Please eat some with me. It's really delicious. You should try it."

Gu Huaijin picked up a piece of beef, which was spicy and delicious. No wonder she liked it. Seeing her expectant expression, he commented:

"not bad."

"If it tastes good, eat more." Jin Mingzhu picked up some more dishes and put them in Gu Huaijin's bowl.

Seeing her eating happily, Gu Huaijin smiled unconsciously, took a tissue to wipe off the red oil on the corners of her mouth, and said lovingly:

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Although it was her favorite food, she only ate a little bit and couldn't eat any more, so she asked the waiter to pack it up.

Gu Huaijin frowned slightly. The food in Gu's house was fresh every day, so there was no need to heat up leftovers. He refused directly:

"No more."

Hearing his words, Jin Mingzhu put on an aggrieved expression and looked at him with red eyes:

"I want it tonight."

Looking at her expression as confused as a little rabbit, Gu Huaijin couldn't help but refuse again and agreed.

A hint of triumphant smile suddenly appeared in the corner of Jin Mingzhu's eyes, and Gu Huaijin looked at her lovingly, willing to take the packaged spicy hot pot for her.

Since Mrs. Jin was away, Jin Mingzhu quickly got the opportunity to go back to work. Gu Huaijin couldn't persuade her and had to agree to her request.

Although she was still under surveillance, at least she had a chance to catch her breath. She sat in the coffee shop downstairs, stirring the coffee intermittently, mixing the cream and coffee liquid together.

Jin Mingzhu sighed, put the spoon aside, raised his hand and took a sip of coffee.

The person behind him spoke up at this moment:

"Sister-in-law, long time no see."

Jin Mingzhu was startled when she heard Xu Huaiyu's voice. She was about to turn around when he called out to her:

"Don't look back. Big Brother's people are watching you. Don't let them notice anything unusual."

Jin Mingzhu barely stopped her movements and asked in a low voice:

"Why are you here?"

Xu Huaiyu raised the corner of his lips, revealing a smile, and said softly:

"Sister-in-law didn't come to see me, and I missed her so much that I took the initiative to come to you, didn't I?"

She really disliked Xu Huaiyu's frivolous look and reminded him:

"Xu Huaiyu, you and Gu Huaijin are half brothers, and I am your sister-in-law."

The other party kept calling her sister-in-law, but never really regarded her as sister-in-law. He always spoke in a romantic way, as if he wanted to take advantage of her with his words.

"Sister-in-law, since I am your brother-in-law, why do you say such polite words? It really makes me sad." Xu Huaiyu said in a low voice, seeming sad.

Jin Mingzhu didn't buy his tricks and asked:

"Why did you come to see me today?"

Xu Huaiyu raised the document in his hand and said seriously:

"Sister-in-law, this is the new identity I prepared for you. Are you satisfied?"

He threw the document on the ground and Jin Mingzhu pretended to have dropped something.

She leaned over with her hands protecting her stomach, picked it up, and opened the file. It was a new identity that Xu Huaiyu had prepared for her. To be more precise, he had redesigned a new social role for her.

"Are you satisfied?" the other party asked.

Jin Mingzhu's hand was shaking slightly as she held the document. This was a completely new identity, and it even had a full education background and parents. As long as she got this identity, she would be sure to escape from Gu Huaijin.

Xu Huaiyu continued to seduce:

"Not only a new identity, I can send you abroad, where you can choose to live the way you like. All you have to do is do me a small favor."

She heard her own calm but somewhat excited voice asking:

"What's the deal?"

"Gu Group will bid for a piece of land in the west of the city next week. I want my sister-in-law to help me get the bottom price of Gu's bid." Xu Huaiyu put away his nonchalance and said seriously.

"I don't know where it is?" Jin Mingzhu shook her head.

Xu Huaiyu laughed out loud and said softly:

"Sister-in-law, you are Gu Huaijin's favorite woman. It shouldn't be difficult to get something from him."

"Besides, sister-in-law, you are very smart. I am waiting for your good news."

Jin Mingzhu closed her eyes and struggled:

"Will you let me go if you get this?"

Xu Huaiyu gently held her wrist across the chair, his cold breath spreading over her wrist. He said firmly:

"no sooner said than done."

Jin Mingzhu felt relieved, and hope appeared in her eyes again, shining brightly.

"Sister-in-law, see you next time." To avoid suspicion, Xu Huaiyu got up and left.

Jin Mingzhu sat on the chair for a long time, all kinds of chaotic thoughts came to her mind, and she suddenly remembered a sentence:

"If it is for freedom, everything can be thrown away."
