Chapter 366 Taking Lu Jie back to the Su Family Mansion
Chapter 366 Taking Lu Jie back to the Su Family Mansion
Su Heng watched from the side and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands, and subconsciously took a step back.
He looked at the old man who was so happy and smiling because of Lu Jie that he almost lost his mind. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that bringing this ancestor back didn't seem to be a bad thing?
Maybe it can bring some different vitality to this dull home.
"Yo?"
When Su Zeqi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised high, and his goatee seemed to curl up proudly, almost enough to hang a bottle of oil on it, his face full of curiosity and surprise.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing this, Lu Jie immediately put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest, putting on a very proud look and said loudly, "That part in your book is really classic - 'If you walk on the road too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts, but I want to be the Zhong Kui who fights ghosts!'"
As she spoke, she imitated the heroic tone in the book, with a heroic look in her eyes, trying to fully display the momentum in the book, thinking in her heart that she must fully arouse Su Zeqi's interest.
Su Zeqi's eyes widened, and he excitedly knocked his pipe against the coffee table, making a clanging sound. He responded loudly, "Yes! It's this kind of reckless spirit! Back then, I fought my way through Hong Kong City with this kind of toughness!"
At this moment, Lu Jie's words seemed to ignite the blood in his heart. The glorious years of the past were vivid in his mind, and he was completely immersed in memories.
Chen Mei stood at the back, the veins on her hands that were pinching the Buddhist beads were bulging, and it was obvious that she was suppressing her dissatisfaction.
Su Heng watched all this from the side and thought to himself again, bringing this living ancestor back doesn’t seem to be a bad decision?
Maybe it can even disrupt the stagnant atmosphere in this family.
"Uncle Su!"
Lu Jie's expression suddenly changed, and she knelt down with a thud. This sudden action scared Su Zeqi so much that he almost dropped the ashtray in his hand.
She raised her head, eyes full of grievance, and said pitifully, "I had a falling out with that she-devil. You have to take me in!"
At this moment, she knew very well that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Su family, she had to get Su Zeqi's support. This kneeling was both a helpless act and a carefully calculated move.
"Get up!"
Su Zeqi quickly reached out to help her up, his face full of concern, and said, "Are you having a quarrel with your family? That's normal! I even had a fight with my dad with a kitchen knife back then!"
As he spoke, he recalled his own rebelliousness in his youth and seemed to empathize with Lu Jie's experience.
Chen Mei finally couldn't hold it in any longer, stepped forward, and raised her voice, "Old Su! This is Zhou Rou's daughter!"
Her eyes were full of worry and dissatisfaction. In her opinion, it was not a good thing for Zhou Rou's daughter to live in the Su family.
"What happened to Zhou Rou?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zeqi immediately blew his beard and glared, his face full of disapproval. "Back then, her father knelt down to beg me for marriage, but I just turned him down anyway. Xiaojie's temper suits my taste!"
As he spoke, he turned around and patted Lu Jie's shoulder, his eyes full of admiration, "Girl, you're better than your mother! If she had half as much courage as you, the Lu family wouldn't have fallen into such ruin!"
Su Zeqi's words made Lu Jie secretly proud. She stole a glance at Chen Mei's ashen face and was overjoyed in her heart, but she still pretended to be pitiful on the surface.
Lu Jie lowered her head slightly, and said with a trembling voice: "Uncle Su, my mother said she wants to cancel my credit card."
She had her own plans in mind, knowing that Su Zeqi had a good impression of her and that she might be able to get some benefits from him.
“Good stop!”
Su Zeqi suddenly slammed the table and said loudly, "Young people should endure some hardships! But..."
As he spoke, he quickly took out his checkbook and picked up a pen to write in a flamboyant style, "The children of the Su family cannot lose face when they go out. Spend this!"
At this moment, he was completely moved by Lu Jie's pitiful appearance and wanted to help this girl.
Just as Su Heng was about to speak up to stop him, Su Zeqi had already enthusiastically embraced Lu Jie and walked towards the restaurant, muttering, "Let the kitchen stew Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! Girl, your Uncle Su relied on this to survive when he was drifting at sea!"
Watching this scene, Chen Mei tightly grasped the check stub, her nails digging into her flesh, her heart filled with anger.
This damn girl has only been here for a short while, and she has already tricked the old man into writing out a seven-figure check?
What’s even more infuriating is that Su Heng was actually standing behind him with a half-smile on his face, looking like he was enjoying the show!
"Su Heng!"
Chen Mei suppressed her anger and chased him to the garden. Her once well-maintained face was distorted by anger as she loudly demanded, "Did you bring this jinx back here on purpose to disgust me?"
At this moment, she vented all her resentment on Su Heng.
Su Heng leaned against the corridor pillar, the moonlight shining on him, making his profile look as cold as a jade carving.
He said slowly, "Disgusting? I think my home is much more lively."
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, his minty breath gently caressing Chen Mei's ear, and whispered, "After all, didn't you secure your position as Mrs. Su through marriage?"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Chen Mei's heart.
When Chen Mei heard this, her body shook violently, and she staggered backward, accidentally knocking over the Clivia next to her.
Su Heng stood up, his cufflinks gleaming coldly in the moonlight. He said expressionlessly, "Let me remind you, there's more than one wife enshrined in the Su family ancestral hall."
His voice was icy cold, as if it came from hell, making Chen Mei shudder.
Chen Mei's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she screamed in a shrill voice, "I know you look down on me, but you can't fool people with such nonsense!"
At this moment, she was shocked and angry, and could not accept what Su Heng said at all.
Su Heng didn't even glance at her. He slowly buttoned his cuffs and said calmly, "The patriarchal woman enshrined in the Su family's ancestral hall is Jiang Man. Who are you?"
His tone was full of sarcasm, which made Chen Mei feel extremely humiliated.
"You...don't go too far!"
Chen Mei was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she tightly grasped the jade bracelet as if it was her last straw.
Su Heng suddenly sneered, his laughter full of disdain, and said, "It seems that the old man didn't tell you the truth?"
As he spoke, he gently tapped the sandalwood tabletop with his knuckles. "This house has been in my name for five years. I'm letting you live here now as a courtesy to the Chen family."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Chen Mei completely stunned.
Chen Mei froze in place as if struck by lightning, her face as pale as paper, even her lipstick faded, and she muttered to herself, "A villa worth thirty million is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
She couldn't believe that the house she had always thought belonged to the Su family had actually belonged to Su Heng a long time ago.
"When my grandmother changed her will, there were twelve witnesses on her legal team."
