Chapter 354 Find out who that woman is
"Why can't I care? I'm your sister!" Zheng Rui retorted loudly.
Zheng Junwei raised the corner of his lips and revealed an icy sneer: "You know that too? Then just stay where you are and do what you should do!" After that, he slammed the door shut. The sound was like a barrier that completely separated the two of them.
Zheng Rui stood blankly at the door, trembling with anger. Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. Slowly, she turned around, her eyes becoming frighteningly cold, as if covered in a thick layer of ice.
She secretly swore in her heart that she must find out who that woman was!
On the way home, Zheng Rui sat in the car, staring out the window with a blank look in her eyes. After a while, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number. The line rang for a long time before a voice came through.
"Something?" The voice sounded a little impatient.
Zheng Rui's face was covered with a smile again, and her voice was still sweet, as if nothing had happened just now: "Boss Su, I have something to trouble you."
On the other end of the phone, Su Heng's voice was a little tired: "What's the matter?"
"I'm looking for someone! A woman! She and my brother had a relationship and they probably even slept together." Zheng Rui was interrupted by Su Heng before she could finish her words.
Su Heng suddenly sneered: "Zheng Rui, are you okay? What do you think I am? A private detective? You want me to take care of your family's mess?"
"Oh, Mr. Su, it's so sad what you said! No matter what, we are now in this together. There is something I think you may not know. My dad told me."
Zheng Rui deliberately dragged out her voice to keep the question in suspense. She knew that Su Heng was eager to find a solution to the problem and would be curious about what she was going to say.
Sure enough, after Su Heng took a deep breath, he said, "I'll arrange for someone to contact you." As soon as he finished speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
Zheng Rui put her phone away with satisfaction, a fierce look in her eyes. She had to find that woman and make her understand who she could and couldn't touch!
Lu Jie opened the door and saw Zhou Rou sitting in the living room. Zhou Rou's eyes were sharp, as if she had expected her to come back. She asked, "Where have you been?" Her voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.
Lu Jie replied lazily and nonchalantly, "I had a meal with my buddies."
"With whom? Where are you going?" Zhou Rou frowned, with a hint of questioning in her tone.
Lu Jie curled her lips and said, "Mom, is this considered private for me?"
Zhou Rou stood up and walked slowly towards her, staring at her intently: "Okay, this can be your privacy, but why did you run into Ah Heng there?"
Lu Jie's brows knitted together instantly. She looked at her mother in disbelief and asked loudly, "You sent someone to keep an eye on me?"
Zhou Rou sneered, a hint of disdain in her laughter: "You think too highly of yourself."
Lu Jie was stunned for a moment, then she understood instantly and her eyes widened: "No way? You even sent people to follow my brother?"
"Brother? You're calling me that affectionately, aren't you?" Zhou Rou let out a cold smile, devoid of any warmth. "Although I'm pleased to see your deep brotherly love, it's not appropriate for you to get too close right now. The Lu Corporation and the Sooner or Later Association will be on opposite sides, and I'm confident I can defeat them! By then, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble, so Mom is doing this to protect you."
Lu Jie stared at her with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disappointment. Suddenly, she said, "Mom, how did you become like this? At first, you just wanted to borrow my brother's company to help us through this difficult time, so I helped you. Now, you want his entire company!"
Zhou Rou responded calmly, "Is there anything wrong with that? I just want to make the company your father left behind bigger and stronger. This has always been his wish. If he were still alive, he would definitely be pleased."
"Oh, is this his wish or yours? I know my dad. He's content and grateful." Lu Jie took a step closer, her words clear and choked with sobs. "Mom, your ambition has grown so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore."
"Xiaojie, everything Mom does is for you." Zhou Rou tried to explain.
"Stop! Don't use me as a shield. I can't bear it!" Lu Jie interrupted her mercilessly, tears glistening in her eyes. "A woman who can heartlessly abandon her son, regardless of the environment he grew up in, and only wants to live happily ever after with her lover, ultimately loves herself. So, Mom, don't say those words for my sake. It makes me sick."
Zhou Rou raised her hand and slapped Lu Jie in the face. She was furious: "Xiao Jie! You've gone too far!"
Lu Jie's head tilted to one side after being hit. She slowly turned her head and stroked the red slap mark on her face. She smiled bitterly, tilted her head to look at Zhou Rou, her eyes gradually turned red, and her voice trembled a little: "Mom, who of us is changing?" After that, she turned around and left without saying a word.
"Xiao Jie! Stop right there!" Zhou Rou shouted from behind.
Lu Jie slammed the door, walked to the side of the road, and hailed a taxi.
As soon as she got into the car, she pulled her hair like crazy, muttering, "This damn life! This damn everything!" She couldn't help but yell a few times in the car, her voice full of pain and helplessness.
The taxi driver was startled by her sudden action and asked cautiously, "Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Lu Jie suddenly looked up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down before naming a bar. At this moment, she just wanted to get drunk and forget her worries.
After entering the bar, Lu Jie was quickly greeted by acquaintances.
She forced a smile and walked over to sit at a table with her friends. They all went dancing, the lights flashing and the music blaring. Suddenly, one of her friends was being harassed by another man on the dance floor. Two of the men next to her rushed over and started a fight.
Upstairs, Zheng Junwei was sitting in a private room. Hearing the noise outside, he frowned and looked impatient.
He opened the door and walked out, glancing at the chaotic scene on the dance floor, then turned around and was about to go back to the house. But at this moment, he seemed to be hit by something, and suddenly stopped, then quickly turned around and locked onto the thin figure!
When Lu Jie saw her friend being bullied, her eyes instantly became firm. She picked up the beer bottle on the table next to her and threw it at the harasser without hesitation!
"Ouch!" A shrill scream was particularly abrupt in the noisy bar. It turned out that someone was hit on the head by a bottle thrown by Lu Jie.
