Chapter 107: Chapter 107 This is Not a Place for Miss Seo to Come

When it was time for discharge, Xu Tian asked Cheng Zhiwei if she wanted to stay at her place for a few days.

Just as Cheng Zhiwei was about to speak, Zhou Lin already said, "She needs to go home."

Four words, and it was a warning.

Cheng Zhiwei barely managed a smile to Xu Tian, then got into Zhou Lin’s car.

Returning to Sparkling Sky City, Cheng Zhiwei had just entered the living room when she saw Seo Zhenzhen.

She was sitting in a wheelchair, a black and white checked blanket draped over her, and a white sweater made her look very gentle.

But as an old friend, Cheng Zhiwei knew all too well that Seo Zhenzhen was not as she seemed on the surface.

She dropped her eyes, ready to go upstairs.

"Zhiwei," Seo Zhenzhen called out anxiously, pushing her wheelchair over. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and guilt.

She sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry."

Cheng Zhiwei looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to continue.

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, her fair cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "I only just found out about what Zhuzhu did to you, I’m really sorry. It’s because of me that she acted so recklessly. Zhiwei, I will make it up to you, truly."

Zhou Lin had also walked in by then and saw them standing to the side. He said flatly, "Let’s talk in the living room."

Cheng Zhiwei clenched her fingers so tightly that her palms hurt, but she showed no intention of letting go. She glanced at Zhou Lin and then looked back at Seo Zhenzhen, "We have nothing to talk about."

She fully understood why Seo Zhenzhen had come here—to plead for Bai Zhuzhu.

No, more accurately, not to plead, but to try the same old trick, using her legs to exert pressure.

She had said long ago, that Zhou Lin bringing Bai Zhuzhu to the police station was just a temporary solution. He knew very well that Seo Zhenzhen would intervene, and then he could conveniently release Bai Zhuzhu.

That way, Lin Yu wouldn’t pursue the matter further.

Zhou Lin had grown very adept at this kind of manipulation.

"Cheng Zhiwei, go sit in the living room," Zhou Lin’s voice was laced with a chilling tone.

Cheng Zhiwei laughed coldly, heaped with deep sarcasm that was almost spilling out, and looked unflinchingly at Zhou Lin, "Zhou Lin, unless I’m mistaken, Seo Zhenzhen should be overseas at this moment, shouldn’t she?"

Zhou Lin’s dark eyes stared fixedly at her.

"You sent Seo Zhenzhen off on a plane in front of both me and your mother, then turned around and hid her at the He family home. Quite an impressive deception." Cheng Zhiwei felt her patience was truly being tested.

If Seo Zhenzhen had not come here, she wouldn’t have said anything.

But he insisted on bringing Seo Zhenzhen here to disgust her, to provoke her.

"Don’t blame Ah Lin, it was my own request," Seo Zhenzhen quickly explained for Zhou Lin, "Zhiwei, don’t be angry with Ah Lin, I was worried Zhuzhu would continue to make mistakes, that’s why I wanted to stay."

"Cheng Zhiwei, calm down. Zhenzhen isn’t here to argue with you," Zhou Lin frowned, "Sit down, let’s talk properly."

That demeanor seemed to suggest he feared Cheng Zhiwei might devour Seo Zhenzhen alive.

Cheng Zhiwei suppressed her feelings, her chest tight with discomfort. She wasn’t naturally submissive, and most of the time, her gentle and unassertive appearance was because she clearly understood reality and knew where her bottom lines were.

But now, they were trampling her bottom lines in their revelry.

"What’s there to talk about?" Cheng Zhiwei said flatly, "Seo Zhenzhen, if you want to save your sister, go find Zhou Lin. If he’s unwilling, go to the Zhou Family. Understand? Don’t pester me here."

"I... I know Zhuzhu did something wrong, I didn’t supervise my sister properly. I’m willing to go to jail in her place, is that possible?" Seo Zhenzhen’s face was filled with sorrow, her eyes reddening.

Cheng Zhiwei looked up; she felt utterly choked up and no longer wanted to look at any of them.

"You know very well Zhou Lin won’t let you go to jail, yet you’re acting all innocent. How can you not feel disgusted with yourself, Seo Zhenzhen?"

"I’m disabled, jail means nothing to me, but Zhuzhu still has a bright future ahead of her. I can’t just watch it get destroyed," Seo Zhenzhen’s tears fell, "She’s my only sister."

"Cheng Zhiwei, watch your words." Zhou Lin’s displeasure, anger filling his chest.

Here it comes again.

Cheng Zhiwei’s self-mocking sneer, she is the victim, yet she must be magnanimous and forgive Bai Zhuzhu who hurt her, otherwise, it would be bullying those poor sisters.

Zhou Lin’s heart, utterly biased.

Temples throbbing, head aching.

Whether Bai Zhuzhu deserves to be in jail or not is up to a word from Zhou Lin, even if he decides to act like nothing happened, what can she, Cheng Zhiwei, do but watch?

Yet he insists on repeatedly tormenting her, forcing her emotions to collapse over and over until she loses control and lashes out, then he takes her faults and causes trouble for those around her.

Back and forth, endless retaliation.

So annoying.

Extremely annoying.

Everything is annoying.

The next second, she took a decorative piece from the side cabinet and smashed it on the ground with a "bang".

The ornament was ceramic, and as it shattered with the sound, tiny shards scattered on the floor, one bouncing onto the back of Seo Zhenzhen’s hand, instantly leaving a red scratch.

Seo Zhenzhen retracted her hand in pain and cried out.

Zhou Lin’s already present anger flared up in an instant, his restless gloom nearly spilling from his face as he strode over to Cheng Zhiwei, his gaze as if he wanted to devour her, "Cheng Zhiwei, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re not well."

Cheng Zhiwei’s face turned pale, lips pursed as she spoke directly, "Zhou Lin, I just got out of the hospital today. If you and Seo Zhenzhen want to torture me, could you at least wait until I’m a bit better? Are you not afraid that I won’t withstand it and might die right here?"

"Using your life to threaten me?" Zhou Lin’s clearly jointed hands grasped her chin, his eyes squinting, carrying the unsaid latter half of his sentence.

Cheng Zhiwei was forced to look up at Zhou Lin, her calm eyes curving into a cold smile, completing for him the words he left unspoken, "Threatening you? That would really be overestimating myself."

She never harbored such delusions.

Though her tone was completely calm, Zhou Lin perceived irritation.

"It’s nothing." Seo Zhenzhen pulled at Zhou Lin, softening her voice, "Don’t blame Zhiwei, she just went through that incident, it’s normal for her mood to be bad, be a little more forgiving."

Gentle and tactful.

Making Cheng Zhiwei seem all the more disheveled and in a predicament.

"Apologize to Zhenzhen." Zhou Lin commanded authoritatively with a deep gaze swirling with a rolling chill.

"Why should I?" Cheng Zhiwei’s emotions exploded, the restraint catching fire and spreading quickly.

"Ah Lin, let go of her." Seo Zhenzhen pulled urgently at Zhou Lin, "You’re hurting Zhiwei, I don’t need her apology, this small hurt is nothing compared to what she’s gone through."

So understanding.

Indeed, Zhou Lin said, "The one who hurt you was Bai Zhuzhu, not Zhenzhen. Why are you taking it out on Zhenzhen?"

"Zhou Lin, put your hands down this instant." Lin Yu’s authoritative anger roared into the room.

She cast a cold glance at Seo Zhenzhen and ordered her chauffeur, "Take Miss Seo out, this isn’t a place for her."
