"Jin Mingzhu, your pick-up lines are too old-fashioned." Lu Huaiyang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Jin Mingzhu ignored his frivolity and continued to ask, "Then why do I feel you are so familiar?" So familiar that it seemed like they had known each other for many years.

Lu Huaiyang put his hand on her shoulder and said seriously: "We are in perfect sync."

Jin Mingzhu was so angry that she slapped him. This man was always so unruly.

Lu Huaiyang looked at her and smiled warmly.

The dinner was almost over. Seeing that Lin Shu was still with Gu Huaijin, Jin Mingzhu took her bag, walked around them and left the venue.

"Madam, Mr. Gu asked me to take you back." Chen Chuan was waiting outside.

Jin Mingzhu waved her hand and said, "Tell him not to worry about me."

Chen Chuan insisted: "Madam, you have drunk some wine, so I'll take you there."

Seeing this, Jin Mingzhu no longer insisted and handed the key to Chen Chuan.

In the car, Chen Chuan saw that Jin Mingzhu was in a low mood, thinking that Lin Shu made her uncomfortable, and comforted her:

"Madam, Miss Lin Shu and Mr. Gu grew up together, so it's normal for Mr. Gu to have some affection for her. Don't worry."

Jin Mingzhu was thinking about Lu Huaiyang's matter. Seeing that Chen Chuan had misunderstood, she slowly spoke:

"Assistant Chen, you misunderstood. Whatever Gu Huaijin does has nothing to do with me. If he likes Lin Shu, I can divorce him to make them happy."

Chen Chuan had seen the relationship between Jin Mingzhu and Xu Yang. From what he said, he could tell that she had no feelings for Mr. Gu. But Mr. Gu was different. He had used all kinds of tricks and schemes to achieve his wish, so how could he let go so easily?

Chen Chuan sighed and stopped talking.

Jin Mingzhu lifted her skirt and saw a red spot on her leg. How much Lin Shu must hate her for kicking her so hard.

She stopped the car and asked Chen Chuan to help buy some medicinal wine for bruises and sprains.

Coming out of the bathroom, she saw Gu Huaijin had returned and looked up at her with concern in his eyes. Jin Ming pretended not to see it and walked around him and lay on the bed.

I just came back and found that Gu Huaijin had someone lock the door of the guest bedroom in order to force her to go back to the master bedroom.

Jin Mingzhu was too lazy to argue with him, so she pulled up the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

Gu Huaijin sat on the bed and hugged her through the quilt:

"Are there any discomforts?"

Jin Mingzhu didn't want to pay attention to him and closed her eyes.

Gu Huaijin thought that she was angry about what happened tonight, so he softened his voice and coaxed her:

"Lin Shu is Shao Yu's sister. She grew up with us. I have always looked after her as my sister."

"I asked Xiao Shu, she kicked you accidentally. You kicked her pretty hard, and she felt a little aggrieved."

Jin Mingzhu had been enduring Gu Huaijin's words under the quilt, but after hearing this, she could no longer bear it and pulled back the quilt.

She pulled her skirt up, revealing the purple lumps on her legs.

With anger in his eyes, he asked:

"Is this what you call accidental?"

"Gu Huaijin, you are still my husband in name only. I don't ask you to favor me, but can you use your brains and be fair?"

Gu Huaijin saw the wound on her leg and asked uncertainly:

"Did Lin Shu do this?"

Seeing that he was still protecting Lin Shu, Jin Mingzhu gave up completely:

"No, I knocked it myself, in order to frame your good sister Lin Shu."

After she finished speaking, she lay down again. For some reason, she felt a little aggrieved.

Gu Huaijin believed Jin Mingzhu, but based on his understanding of Lin Shu, he doubted that Lin Shu would do such a terrible thing.

Seeing the wound on Jin Mingzhu's leg, he still felt a little distressed. He took the medicinal wine on the bedside table, rubbed it in his hands to warm it up, applied it to her wound, and carefully helped her rub away the bruises.

Jin Mingzhu noticed Gu Huaijin's actions and became very upset. Seeing that she couldn't pull away, she gathered her strength and kicked him a few times.

"I'll let Lin Shu apologize to you." Gu Huaijin's tone was very light, with some heartache implied.

Jin Mingzhu sat up and looked at him coldly.

"How dare I ask Mr. Gu's good sister to apologize to me."

"Why did you come back? Go and accompany your good sister." Jin Mingzhu was angry and pushed him, with aggrieved tone in her voice.

Gu Huaijin hugged her tightly and coaxed her in a low voice:

"Lin Shu is not as important as you. Don't be angry anymore. Be good."

Jin Mingzhu was held in his arms, her hands hanging down weakly, and after a long while, she said:

"I'm tired, let's go to bed."

Jin Mingzhu lay down, turned her body towards the wall, and no longer looked at Gu Huaijin.

"Mingzhu, this is the reporting work for the Internet conference that just came down. You can take Liu Jia to do it." Lu Liang handed the materials to Jin Mingzhu at the meeting and instructed:

"This conference is organized by a domestic Internet giant. It is of high standard and quality. The higher-ups fought for a long time to get the reporting rights. You will take the lead and the whole department will do its best to cooperate with you."

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief."

Jin Mingzhu took the materials and was thinking about how to assign the tasks. But Zhou Ying's sarcastic voice came from the side:

"We can't compare to them. They have Editor-in-Chief Lu as their backer."

Jin Mingzhu ignored her. Facing gossip, ignoring it was the best counterattack. She collected her things and prepared to leave.

"What's wrong, Jin Mingzhu? Are you feeling guilty?" Zhou Ying raised her voice and asked back.

"I still don't know what kind of shameful relationship you have with Editor-in-Chief Lu?" Zhou Ying said this very softly, but everyone heard it.

"Bang!" Jin Mingzhu threw a thick stack of information on the table. Zhou Ying was frightened and took two steps back unconsciously.

Jin Mingzhu found her expression somewhat funny and couldn't help but scare the paper tiger. She looked at Zhou Ying and stated:

"Zhou Ying, we entered the newspaper together. I know you often have problems with me and feel that the editor-in-chief favors me. Then I want to ask you, what were you doing when I was learning professional knowledge? When the editor-in-chief gave you the job of reporting on the disaster area, you were reluctant to go, so I had to complete it."

Jin Mingzhu glanced at her and suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful. She did not strive for progress and only knew how to complain. She asked coldly:

"While I was studying and improving myself, you were always eating, drinking, having fun, gossiping about others behind their backs. You have never been on the front page of a newspaper in all your time. If you don't work hard yourself, don't complain about others. Do you think the editor-in-chief is biased towards me?"

Zhou Ying stood there in a daze, looking at her with eyes full of anger.

"That's because you have an improper relationship with the editor-in-chief."

Seeing that she was not interested, Jin Mingzhu felt that it was a waste of words. She took out her phone and said:

"Editor-in-Chief Lu, please come to the conference room."

Zhou Ying didn't expect Jin Mingzhu to be so brave that she dared to call Lu Liang directly. She wanted to apologize awkwardly, but Jin Mingzhu glanced at her and stopped her from speaking.

When Lu Liang came in, Jin Mingzhu looked at everyone:

"Everyone heard it. Zhou Ying just said that I had an improper relationship with Editor-in-Chief Lu. Please be my witness."

Lu Liang was wondering why Jin Mingzhu asked her to come over. He almost choked when he heard Jin Mingzhu's words. How could he dare to have anything to do with Jin Mingzhu?

His face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the instigator: "Zhou Ying, come with me to the office."

After a while, crackling sounds were heard coming from Lu Liang's office, followed by fierce rebukes. It seemed that Lu Liang was angry.

Jin Mingzhu took a sip of water and started to devote herself to her work. People like Zhou Ying were not worth her time and energy.
