Chapter 363 Stay Away from Xiaojie
The phone vibrated on the mahogany desk, and the caller ID showed "Su Fox".
Zheng Xuan pressed the hands-free button and swayed with his legs crossed, his posture still as casual and uninhibited as ever: "Mr. Su, it's great to see you. What can I do for you?"
"Stay away from Xiaojie." Su Heng's voice came from the phone, as cold as ice, "She is not someone you can touch." The tone was firm and unquestionable, as if declaring some kind of sovereignty.
Zheng Xuan sneered, his face full of disdain: "Manager Su is quite broad-minded, is your sister a porcelain doll?" As he spoke, he tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, and the rhythm seemed to be provoking the other party.
"Zheng Xuan." The other party called him by his name, with a deep warning in his voice, "Don't force me to cut off your source of income." The voice was like a cold lightning, cutting through the air and making people shudder.
"Oh, I'm so scared." Zheng Xuan deliberately spun the swivel chair hard. The chair, unable to bear the weight, creaked harshly, making a particularly intrusive sound in the quiet office. As he spun, he continued with a teasing tone, "Mr. Su, why don't you just put Xiao Jie in a cage? That way, those wild men won't be interested, and you'll have peace of mind." As he spoke, the cynical smile on his face grew more pronounced, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of provocation, as if deliberately provoking Su Heng on the other end of the line.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone, which lasted for a long while.
Afterwards, Su Heng's voice was heard again, but this time his tone suddenly softened, with a bit of pleading and helplessness: "Zheng Xuan, Xiao Jie is different." His voice sounded a little dull in the receiver, as if he was carrying a heavy heart.
"What's the difference?" Zheng Xuan picked up the cigarette butt on the table, and with a slight force of his slender fingers, he firmly extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
When the metal cover flipped up, there was a crisp "pop" sound that echoed in the silent space.
As he moved, he asked back, his eyes full of doubt and confusion, "Does she have an extra eye or a missing arm?" At this moment, he had no idea what Su Heng meant by "different", and he just felt that the other party's words were incomprehensible.
"You know what I'm talking about." Su Heng's voice sounded a little tired. He seemed not to want to explain any more and just hoped that Zheng Xuan could understand what he meant.
"I don't know." Zheng Xuan suddenly stood up and strode to the window. He stretched out his slender fingers and yanked open the blinds, letting in dazzling sunlight.
He looked at the busy street downstairs, with people coming and going and cars flowing continuously. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a playful arc, and he slowly said, "I only know" he paused slightly, and the image of Lu Jie emerged in his mind, "the way she bites people is quite exciting." Thinking of Lu Jie's ferocious and unyielding appearance, he couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes, as if it was something extremely interesting.
"Zheng Xuan!" Zheng Jianping's roar on the other end of the phone made Zheng Xuan's eardrums tremble. The voice was filled with anger and majesty, like a thunderclap ringing in his ears, "Go home immediately!"
Zheng Jianping's tone was unquestionable and carried the absolute command of a superior.
Zheng Xuan was playing with the lighter in his hand, which was turning flexibly at his fingertips. The blue flame jumped and flickered as it opened and closed, reflecting the interweaving of light and shadow between his eyebrows, making his expression changeable.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Dad, you are well-informed. It hasn't been long since we started, and you already know about it."
At this moment, facing his father's anger, he seemed extremely calm, and even had the mind to make a joke, as if he didn't take his father's anger seriously at all.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zheng Jianping was obviously suppressing his inner anger. Although he lowered his voice deliberately, it still revealed an uncontrollable temper. "Don't you know what Zhou Rou did to us back then? Now you are involved with her daughter?" When Zheng Jianping mentioned Zhou Rou, his tone was full of disgust and hatred. What happened back then seemed to be an unhealable scar in his heart. Whenever it was mentioned, it would hurt slightly.
"Is Aunt Zhou a pushover?" Zheng Xuan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter. "Didn't you also..." Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Zheng Jianping.
"Shut up!" Zheng Jianping angrily threw the teacup, the crisp sound of shattering clearly audible over the phone. "Cut it off immediately! The Zheng family will never marry a disaster!"
Zheng Jianping's voice was almost a roar. In his mind, Zhou Rou and her daughter were like ominous things, and they must not have any connection with the Zheng family.
Zheng Xuan suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter was hearty and unrestrained, as if he had just heard a huge joke: "Disaster star?"
The cute look of Lu Jie when she was angry appeared in his mind. Her smart eyes and puffed cheeks made him feel funny. "I think she is a lucky star."
Whenever he thought of Lu Jie, his eyes unconsciously revealed tenderness and a smile. In his eyes, Lu Jie was not a disaster star, but a lucky star who brought countless surprises and fun to his ordinary life.
"you!"
Zheng Jianping's breathing became heavier due to his son's words, and his voice trembled slightly with anger. "Have you been drugged by that girl?"
He really couldn't understand why his son was so obsessed with Zhou Rou's daughter. In his opinion, all this was too unbelievable.
"You guessed it right."
Zheng Xuan pressed the lighter, and the flame suddenly jumped up, instantly illuminating the stubbornness and determination in his eyes. "Not only was I drunk, I'm addicted."
At this moment, he did not hide his feelings for Lu Jie. His determined eyes seemed to declare to the world that he had decided on Lu Jie, and no matter how much his father objected, he could not change his mind.
He hung up the phone, and the phone spun rapidly in his palm, leaving a green light and shadow.
Outside the window, it was raining heavily. The raindrops as big as beans were hitting the window madly, making crackling sounds.
Looking at the heavy rain, his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the year when he first met Lu Jie.
At that time, she was soaked all over, with messy hair sticking to her face, but her eyes were dazzlingly bright, just like the lightning outside the window at this moment, leaving an indelible mark in his heart.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a faint smile.
The phone slammed heavily onto the mahogany desk with a bang. Zheng Xuan was really furious this time.
However, he knew clearly in his heart that it was definitely not Su Heng who leaked the matter.
Given Su Huli's protective nature, how could he bear to describe his own sister as a monster?
