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

Chapter 359 Show Her Some Color

How could Lu Jie not be moved? Since her father was seriously ill when she was young, she had spent most of her time growing up by her mother's side. Zhou Rou was a workaholic and never doted on her like other mothers.

Over time, Lu Jie developed a carefree temperament like a boy.

But at this moment, she truly felt the feeling of being pampered, and her heart was warm, not to mention how refreshing it was!

She secretly made up her mind that since her brother cared so much, she would definitely protect him in the future! However, Zheng Junwei was actually a member of the Zheng family. If her mother knew about it, it would be troublesome.

Su Heng added, "Zheng Junwei is not someone you can easily mess with. Are you sure you have nothing to do with him?"

Lu Jie was silent for a moment, hesitated, and said, "Does having sex count as a relationship?"

Su Heng's face darkened and darkened, and Lu Jie even thought she could hear him grinding his teeth. She secretly sighed in her heart, thinking that he was just speaking the truth.

After a long moment, Su Heng finally said, "Stay away from him from now on." Zhou Rou was already a big enough problem for him, and he really didn't want Xiao Jie to become a pawn in her mother's hands. His previous engagement with Pu Jing was driven by Zhou Rou's selfish desires.

"I understand." Lu Jie responded. She didn't need his instructions on this matter. She was not stupid enough to get involved with that kind of person.

"By the way," Lu Jie suddenly asked, "how's my sister-in-law?" She had a good impression of Jiang Man and couldn't stand seeing Su Heng and Zheng Rui get close. Especially after learning that the bastard Zheng Rui was Zheng Junwei's sister, she had even less good feelings towards the Zheng family!

"Okay, I understand." Lu Jie was very smart. Seeing that Su Heng didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.

After hanging up the phone, Su Heng frowned. Thinking of Jiang Man, his heart ached and even his breathing became difficult. He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance. That direction should be where she was.

Su Heng took the initiative to ask Zheng Rui out, much to her surprise. At noon, she arrived at the agreed restaurant with a charming smile on her face. She said, "Wow, the CEO actually took the initiative to ask me out today? I'm so honored!"

After sitting down, she couldn't wait to ask, "How's the matter I asked Mr. Su to investigate going? This is just a small matter, it should be easy for you!"

Su Heng glanced at her with a calm expression and said slowly, "Why are you looking for her? I don't want anyone to die."

"Oh, don't bother with that. I just want to teach her a lesson. She must be a woman who doesn't love herself. I want to let her know that not just any man can touch her." Zheng Rui chuckled, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

Su Heng crossed his arms, looked up at her, and said, "If that's the case, then I'll be frank. Don't even think about touching this woman. If you do, you'll be making an enemy of me."

Zheng Rui was stunned when she heard this. Then she laughed out loud and said, "No way! Mr. Su, Master Qin, Mr. Qin! Who is that woman that has bewitched you so much? That makes me want to meet her even more!"

"You don't need to ask who she is. Besides, this kind of thing is not the first time for Zheng Junwei. Why are you so persistent?" Su Heng's voice was still flat, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Oh, maybe not before, but now that you're so protective of her, I'm even more curious about who she is!" Zheng Rui narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile, "It shouldn't be just a lover, right?"

She knew very well Su Heng's feelings for Jiang Man. Otherwise, with her ability, and not just her boasting, she would have already won this man over! If it wasn't love, then it was a close friend? Or a family-like existence?

Su Heng remained calm and said, "I heard that your brother is also looking for her. If you are so curious, why don't you ask Zheng Junwei directly?"

Zheng Rui was stunned, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face. She looked away and said, "You knew he wouldn't tell me."

"Then don't expect to get any answers from me." Su Heng glanced at the time. "I have said everything I want to say. Not causing trouble for others is also helping myself."

He stood up, his eyes cold, "Don't forget your business, that's what you should care about."

Zheng Rui stared at him expressionlessly until he left, then snorted coldly. No matter how handsome he was, a man like that was too boring! However, even Su Heng had gotten involved. Who was the woman with Zheng Junwei? She gritted her teeth and vowed to herself that she would find out no matter what!

The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling. Zheng Rui walked towards Zheng Junwei's residence in her high heels. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Zheng Junwei walking out in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Zheng Rui stepped forward and spoke in a questioning tone, with a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Zheng Junwei was already in a bad mood, and hearing her questioning like this, he felt even more disgusted. He raised his eyebrows and responded coldly, "I don't need to report where I go, right?"

Zheng Rui then realized that her attitude was a bit extreme and might annoy him.

She quickly took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, forced a sweet smile on her face, and said coquettishly, "I just want to know."

"Something's up." Zheng Junwei was very frugal with his words, and after saying these two words, he strode towards the elevator. Zheng Rui saw him and hurried after him, but by the time she arrived, the elevator door had slowly closed, isolating her from the outside.

Zheng Rui stomped her feet in anger. She narrowed her eyes, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in them.

The next second, she walked into another elevator without hesitation, thinking to herself that she must find out where he was going.

Zheng Junwei came to the parking lot, quickly got into his car, started the engine, and the car sped away like an arrow, without noticing that there was a car following quietly from behind.

Meanwhile, Lu Jie left home, her suitcase in tow, her face filled with anger. She arrived at a hotel, walked into the lobby, and went to the front desk. She handed her credit card to the waiter and said, "I want a room."

However, after a while, the waiter looked embarrassed, handed the credit card back to her, and said, "Sorry, miss, your card has been suspended."

Lu Jie's eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly pulled out two more credit cards from her wallet and handed them to the waiter, but the result was the same.

Lu Jie was so angry that her face turned red. She knew without thinking that this must be Zhou Rou's trick!

She cursed inwardly, "How quick is that? They'd just had a fight, and already they'd cut off her financial resources! Wasn't it just to teach her a lesson, to force her to go home?" Fine! She refused! She would fight her mother to the end!

Lu Jie opened her wallet and checked the cash inside. She found that it wasn't much, but it should be enough to last for a while.

She completed the check-in procedures, walked into the room with her suitcase, threw the suitcase aside, and threw herself onto the big bed.
