Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

Chapter 360 Dependence on Brother

Lu Jie lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering what to do next. After much deliberation, she decided she had no choice but to ask Su Heng for help. For some reason, she was becoming increasingly dependent on this older brother.

She immediately picked up her phone and called Su Heng. Su Heng's deep voice soon came from the other end of the line: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, I have no money." Lu Jie is now more and more comfortable calling him "brother", and feels it is natural to make various requests.

Su Heng seemed to sigh softly and asked, "How much is missing?"

"A lot." Lu Jie deliberately kept it a secret.

"Have you gotten into trouble?" There was a hint of doubt in Su Heng's voice.

"No! I just want to buy some bags, but my mother won't give me money." Lu Jie tried to get away with it. In her opinion, it was normal for a woman to buy bags.

Unexpectedly, Su Heng said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?" He knew Lu Jie too well. It was okay for others to buy bags, but it was abnormal for her to say that.

Lu Jie gritted her teeth and finally confessed: "Okay, I got into trouble. I smashed someone's car and I have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation."

Unexpectedly, Su Heng was very straightforward: "Give me the account number." This was the style Lu Jie was familiar with!

Lu Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to herself, "Do they really have to force her to be so direct?" After she registered her account, a short while later, a text message came on her phone, saying that the 500,000 yuan had been deposited.

Lu Jie was so happy that she sat up from the bed, hugged the phone and kissed it non-stop, shouting: "Long live my brother!" At this moment, she truly felt how good it was to have a brother. Her brother was simply a magic weapon!

But before she could be happy for long, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lu Jie thought it was a waiter, and with a smile on her face, she ran to open the door. However, when she opened the door and saw the person standing outside, her smile froze on her face and her face turned pale. Without thinking, she immediately reached out to close the door.

"Pah—" A hand reached out and firmly held the door. Lu Jie's eyes widened, glaring angrily at the person in front of her, and shouted, "Sir, I can report you to the police for harassment!"

Zheng Junwei looked at her with a half-smile, then leisurely took a few steps forward. Seeing this, Lu Jie swallowed, a sense of fear welling up in her heart, and she unconsciously took two steps back. From this posture, she knew he was here to settle a score.

She cleared her throat and pretended to be calm before adding, "Hey, they say it's better to resolve a feud than to create one! It's just a kick I gave you, no big deal! If you're upset, I'll let you kick me back!"

"Oh, you're quite generous!" Zheng Junwei walked into the room, his eyes fixed on her with a hint of sarcasm in them. "Well done, Lu Jie! No woman has ever dared to use such despicable tactics on me! You're capable! You're quite courageous!"

Lu Jie knew he was mocking her. She looked at him and replied with a half-smile, "Is it mean that I kicked you? Then what about you blackmailing me? It's obviously not your first time, and you're still pretending to be innocent. Is that fun?"

"Then let's put it another way." Zheng Junwei walked to the sofa and sat down. He stretched out his long legs, blocking Lu Jie's way. "This is your first time, right?"

When Lu Jie heard this, her face instantly turned red. She quickly looked away and said calmly, "Who would care about this kind of thing?"

"I care." Zheng Junwei's voice was low and powerful.

Lu Jie's body trembled slightly, and she turned back to look at him with a frown.

Zheng Junwei continued slowly, "There are rules for people who go out to play. Never touch virgins, but I happened to touch one! So, let me make it up to you." He held his chin with one hand and looked at her leisurely, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want you to stay away from me." Lu Jie said bluntly.

Zheng Junwei's face darkened and he asked, "Do you hate me so much?"

"It's not 'so', it's 'especially'." Lu Jie corrected him with a smile, then continued, "Mr. Zheng, if you have time, please pay more attention to stray animals! I'm an adult and can take responsibility for my own actions! So, as I said just now, isn't this the first time I don't care? OK? Please leave now. I'd be very, very grateful to you."

Zheng Junwei's face darkened completely, and he said coldly, "You're not going to admit it after this, right?"

Lu Jie was speechless for a moment and really didn't know how to explain to him.

"Hey, why do you have to keep staring at me? I don't want your money, and I don't want you to be responsible. It would be much easier for you to meet someone like me!" Lu Jie tried to persuade him.

Zheng Junwei said with a cold face and a tense voice, "That's really unfortunate. Once is not enough for me."

Lu Jie took a step back, looked at him warily, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Haha," Zheng Junwei laughed, stepping closer to her. "How many times a week do you think a normal man should have sex? Do you know that always looking for a bed partner is really troublesome?"

"Damn it! What does it have to do with me who you're looking for? Please don't come to me!" Lu Jie said as she tried to escape.

But Zheng Junwei reached out to stop her and pushed her into a corner. He leaned one hand against the wall, staring at her, smiling like a cunning fox: "I just like looking for you!"

Finally, Lu Jie successfully broke free from his restraints. After she emerged from the room, she looked up and saw Zheng Junwei standing not far away. She instantly felt awkward again. After all, that scene just now was quite explosive! Furthermore, her biggest worry was whether she would be silenced.

Zheng Junwei was smoking. He looked up at her, then put out his cigarette and asked, "Did you hear everything just now?"

"No! No! I didn't hear a single word!" Lu Jie almost raised her hand and swore. In this situation where they were alone, on a dark and windy night, how could she dare to admit it?

"Haha." Zheng Junwei suddenly laughed strangely twice and said, "Didn't you hear it? That's good too."

Lu Jie didn't understand what he meant. In short, she wanted to leave here quickly. This mess had nothing to do with her! She glanced at the door and moved cautiously towards it.

At this moment, Zheng Junwei's unhurried voice came from behind: "Now that things have come to this, it's time to put an end to it."

Lu Jie stood there in a daze for a long time. She slowly turned around and said, "You still have a long way to go. You must not go astray. After all, killing someone is against the law."

Zheng Junwei was stunned. He slowly looked up at her and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Where did your imagination go?"

Lu Jie raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, isn't he asking questions even though he already knows the answer and is pretending to be stupid?

Zheng Junwei was amused by her reaction, then nodded seriously and said, "You're not that stupid, but that depends on your performance next. If you behave well and make me happy, I will naturally spare your life."
