Chapter 125 1 Empty Game
"My Ye Zhenzhen has never been such a person." Wen Baijing pinched her cheek and slowly stood up. "Don't let your imagination run wild. It's cold outside. Go back to your room first."
As he spoke, he bent down and gently lifted her up from the chair.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on his chest, the sound of his strong heartbeat reached her eardrums, his warm body temperature was transmitted from her body to her body, and the bone-chilling chill was withdrawn from her body like peeling off a cocoon.
Ye Zhenzhen pretended to smile heartlessly, "I won't be cold if you come back. I deliberately waited here for you to carry me back to the room."
There is a thin mist and light rain.
Wen Baijing's eyes were filled with the sparkling water of a spring under the sun, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "When will you grow up?"
Ye Zhenzhen blinked slyly, and the wine in her dimples overflowed. "Do you think I'm too stupid? It doesn't matter if you call me childish or simple-minded. It doesn't matter what you say. Anyway, I'm stuck with you, and you can't get rid of me even if you want to."
Wen Baijing carried her back to the bedroom and sat down on the sofa. He sank into the sofa and she sank into his arms.
This is not a good time to talk about love.
Ye Zhenzhen broke free from his arms and sat beside him.
Although the brand she works for was not disclosed on Weibo, her name was clearly stated, so acquaintances and colleagues could tell who she was talking about at a glance.
If we let the situation develop, there is no telling what will happen.
The screenshot of the hotel check-in record is real. There is no point in posting a short essay on Weibo to explain it, it will only attract more attention and abuse from the public.
Wen Baijing called Lawyer Wu and tried to find a way to retrieve the hotel surveillance video.
The most direct and effective way is to take the hotel surveillance video to the man's wife to prove her innocence. Let the person who posted the Weibo clarify the facts, which can not only clear Ye Zhenzhen's name but also calm the matter down as soon as possible.
Waiting is the most exhausting thing.
Within half an hour, Lawyer Wu called back, "Mr. Wen, the hotel's surveillance videos are only kept for two years. The surveillance videos from 12 years ago have been destroyed."
The phone was on speakerphone, and Ye Zhenzhen's face suddenly changed, and she was stunned for a long time.
The room was silent.
Her bones suddenly became extremely stiff, her heartbeat seemed to be frozen, and her body was covered with an ice shell.
"Zhenzhen." Wen Baijing put his hand on hers and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'll think of other ways. There will always be a way."
The ice shell on the back of my hand slowly began to melt.
Even if she is in a place of ice and snow, as long as he is there, her world will melt away.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly remembered what happened that year. She held Wen Baijing's hands tightly and said with a bit of self-blame: "I have thought of a way. It's all my fault. I'm sorry, how could I be so confused... Why did I lend my ID card to Lin Xiaoxi..."
"You..." Wen Baijing frowned. He wanted to blame him but couldn't bear it, so he could only sigh depressedly.
"I'll go find Lin Xiaoxi now." Ye Zhenzhen stood up hastily, her heart and eyes filled with anxiety. "Only Lin Xiaoxi can explain this matter clearly now."
Wen Baijing also stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you."
Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Xiaoxi had been in contact occasionally over the past two years. Every time Lin Xiaoxi came to see her, Ye Zhenzhen would chat with her for the sake of their past relationship.
She knew very little about Lin Xiaoxi's current situation. The last time they met was before the New Year, when Lin Xiaoxi came to see her while shopping.
Ye Zhenzhen called Lin Xiaoxi, who readily agreed to meet her and soon sent her the restaurant's private room number.
That western restaurant is near Lin Xiaoxi's home.
When they arrived at the western restaurant, the waiter came up to them politely and took Ye Zhenzhen to the reserved private room.
The moment the waiter opened the door, Lin Xiaoxi also stood up. Smiling, she walked to Ye Zhenzhen and took her arm affectionately, "Zhenzhen, come in and sit down. I ordered the afternoon tea set. See if you need anything else..."
Ye Zhenzhen forced a smile, feeling a little sad for some reason, "Yeah, here I come."
The scene seemed like the past.
Today, Lin Xiaoxi wears many high-end brands, has a very delicate makeup and hair style, and is much more relaxed than before. If you don't know her before, you can't imagine that this exquisite beauty was so poor that she had no money for an abortion.
Seeing how happy Lin Xiaoxi was, Ye Zhenzhen felt complicated.
She does not agree with Lin Xiaoxi's values, but she also hopes that Lin Xiaoxi can finally enjoy a life of luxury. Occasionally, she would worry about Lin Xiaoxi.
Lin Xiaoxi seemed very happy, "Zhenzhen, long time no see. We haven't sat down and chatted for a long time..."
The French brass crystal chandelier casts warm light, and the long table is covered with a creamy white tablecloth.
The two sat opposite each other.
Ye Zhenzhen was in no mood for small talk. She took the pillow and hugged it in her arms, slightly putting away her smile, "Xiaoxi, I have something to talk to you about."
Lin Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's wrong? If you can use me, just let me know."
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her eyelashes, made a great decision, and raised her head again, "Xiaoxi, you lent me your ID card at the end of September 2012. Did you check into a room with someone else?"
Lin Xiaoxi didn't dare to look her in the eyes and murmured, "I'm sorry."
"Xiaoxi, I lent you my ID card because you lost it and your house happened to be leaking, so you couldn't open the hotel. You promised me that you wouldn't do anything bad with my ID card..." Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand to support her forehead, feeling uncomfortable and extremely anxious.
Lin Xiaoxi lowered his head and said nothing.
Ye Zhenzhen was in a hurry and had to solve the problem. She said briefly, "The man's wife found out that I had checked into a hotel with him using my ID. Xiaoxi, you have to help me clear this up, or I'll lose my job."
The waiter knocked on the door and came in, placing the coffee and desserts with a polite smile.
After the waiter left the box, the two looked at each other for a long while.
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with tears, and she suddenly said, "Zhenzhen, I can't help you."
Ye Zhenzhen reached out to hold Lin Xiaoxi's hand, her heart was filled with astonishment, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Why? Xiaoxi, do you know how much I've paid in the past two years? I stayed up late to work overtime for a promotion and a raise, and even on a rare day off, I had to take time out to learn relevant knowledge..."
In the eyes of others, she was lucky to be a store manager for half a year and promoted to regional store manager in two years.
Only she herself knows how much time and energy she has put into it.
When store employees were fighting over customers, she stood in the middle and got punched. She didn't dare tell Wen Baijing when she got home. When Wen Baijing noticed a bruise on her back, she just said she was accidentally bumped into in the warehouse.
In order to maintain VIP customers, she helps people walk their dogs, drinks and goes to bars with them when they are in a bad mood, and carries drunken customers home in the middle of the night.
That foolish action may very well cost her the chance of getting a promotion or a raise, and all her hard work will be in vain.
Lin Xiaoxi suddenly stood up and said, "I can't help you clarify this!"
