Chapter 364 Do You Still Have Any Shame?
Zheng Xuan knew Su Heng too well. When it came to Lu Jie, Su Heng was always cautious and caring, and would never do anything to hurt Lu Jie's reputation.
Lu Jie had been hanging around outside for half a month. During these days, she ran around everywhere, sent out seven or eight resumes, and was fully expecting to find a suitable job.
But the reality dealt her a heavy blow. Every resume she submitted was rejected with the simple reason of "lack of work experience".
However, she remained calm and composed, slowly reaching into her pocket and gently pulling out the bank card Su Heng had given her. With a slight twist of her finger, the screen lit up, revealing the balance of 500,000 yuan. The string of numbers seemed like the brightest stars in the night sky, so dazzling that it made her feel slightly dizzy.
She thought to herself that this money was enough for her to stay comfortably in the hotel until the end of the year. She might as well stop worrying about finding a job and live a relaxed life.
As soon as she pushed open the revolving door of the hotel lobby, she heard a shrill voice behind her: "Lu Jie!"
The sound was sharp and piercing, like a sharp knife cutting through the air.
When she looked back, she saw Zhou Rou walking towards her in thin high heels, swaying her figure.
Zhou Rou's red lips were so bright that they seemed to be dripping with blood, and they were particularly eye-catching in the slightly dim hotel lobby.
"Wow, your tracking ability is pretty impressive, huh?"
Lu Jie crossed his arms, a sneer on his face, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
In her mind, Zhou Rou's sudden appearance was no accident. She must have come for some purpose, and she would not be fooled easily.
Zhou Rou looked Lu Jie up and down, her eyes filled with disdain and disdain: "Is it unfair for you to stay in such a shabby hotel? If your brother hadn't paid for it, you would have starved to death long ago!"
As she spoke, she snorted softly, as if mocking Lu Jie's misfortune.
"It's only natural that my brother gives me money to spend."
Lu Jie flicked the room card and strode towards the elevator, saying without looking back, "Are you jealous? Go ask your good brother for it!"
She deliberately emphasized the words "good brother" to mock Zhou Rou.
In her opinion, everything Zhou Rou did over the years was for her own benefit. Now that she sees that she and her brother are living well, she must feel unbalanced.
Zhou Rou was sorely hurt by Lu Jie's words that she almost exploded with anger.
She immediately followed him, squeezed into the elevator, and stared at Lu Jie fiercely: "Miss Lu is staying at a motel? How will I face the consequences if this gets out?"
In her heart, the Lu family's reputation is more important than anything else, and Lu Jie's current situation makes her feel ashamed.
"Do you still have any shame?"
Lu Jie suddenly turned around and stared at Zhou Rou with eyes that seemed to be able to eat people, forcing Zhou Rou to take two steps back.
Her voice trembled slightly with anger. "When you took me to remarry, why didn't you think about the Lu family's reputation?"
Thinking of what happened back then, Lu Jie's heart was filled with resentment. She had been troubled by this matter for so many years. Now that she finally had the opportunity to speak it out, she naturally would not let it go.
Zhou Rou was choked by Lu Jie's words and was speechless. In anger and humiliation, she raised her hand to slap Lu Jie.
Lu Jie had seen through her tactics long ago. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he dodged easily by leaning to the side. "Again? What else can you do besides hitting people?"
She said sarcastically while dodging.
In her memory, Zhou Rou would always resort to violence whenever she got angry, and she was no longer surprised by this tactic.
"I am your mother!"
Zhou Rou screamed, her voice hysterical, as if she wanted to use her mother's identity to suppress Lu Jie.
"Just because you're my mother, you can beat me as you please?"
Lu Jie touched her hot cheek, which seemed to still retain the warmth of Zhou Rou's palm.
Her eyes were filled with grievance and anger. "This is the second time, Ms. Zhou."
The first time she was beaten by Zhou Rou, she chose to endure it silently, but the second time, she could no longer tolerate it. She wanted to let Zhou Rou know that she was not someone who could be bullied at will.
Zhou Rou's fingers trembled slightly. Seeing Lu Jie's angry eyes, she felt a little weak in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Xiao Jie, Mommy is doing this for your own good."
She tried to comfort Lu Jie with a gentle tone, but as soon as the words came out, even she felt hypocritical.
"Are you doing this for your own good?"
Lu Jie suddenly laughed out loud, her laughter filled with mockery and sadness. "Are you tired of being the Lu family's young mistress? You want to use me as a bargaining chip to form a marriage alliance with the Zheng family?"
As she spoke, she carefully observed Zhou Rou's expression. She knew that she had guessed right. Zhou Rou's visit this time must be related to the Zheng family.
Zhou Rou's expression suddenly changed, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Did your brother tell you?"
She asked with some guilt, secretly wondering if Su Heng had told Lu Jie about her plan.
"He said?"
Lu Jie pulled out her phone, swiped it twice quickly, and then held the screen close to Zhou Rou. "There was an extra two million in your account last month. The sender's name was Zheng Jianping, right?"
She said with a sneer, her eyes full of contempt.
In her opinion, Zhou Rou would do anything for her own benefit. Now, in order to form an alliance with the Zheng family, she was even willing to use her. This was really too much.
Zhou Rou staggered and held onto the wall. Her lipstick marks on the beige wallpaper looked like blood spots, which were particularly glaring.
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say a word.
"Save it."
Lu Jie pressed the floor button, her eyes filled with determination. "Why didn't you explain to me when you abandoned me?"
After saying that, she walked out of the elevator without looking back.
Just as she was about to step out of the elevator, Zhou Rou suddenly rushed over and grabbed her wrist: "If you dare to step out of this door, I will declare you insane!"
There was a hint of madness in Zhou Rou's voice. At this moment, she was willing to do anything to achieve her goal.
Lu Jie suddenly shook her hand away with such force that Zhou Rou crashed into the fire hydrant.
Just as Zhou Rou was about to explode, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
"Xiao Jie?"
Su Heng walked over with a convenience store plastic bag and a puzzled look on his face.
When he saw Zhou Rou, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jie turned around and threw herself into his arms, like a wounded bird finding a safe haven.
She cried out in a crying voice: "Brother"
At this moment, she finally found an outlet to vent all the grievances in her heart. In front of her brother, she no longer had to pretend to be strong.
Zhou Rou's face turned pale as she watched Lu Jie and Su Heng being so intimate, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
But because Su Heng was present, she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only suppress her anger.
