Chapter 376 Let Lu Jie Marry
Time passed quietly, and soon there was a polite knock on the office door.
Zhou Rou adjusted her sitting position, and said with a hint of majesty in her voice: "Come in."
The door opened gently, and Zheng Rui walked in. She stood in front of Zhou Rou's desk, politely raised the corners of her mouth, and revealed a slightly stiff smile: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Rou raised her eyes and quietly looked at the young girl in front of her, a polite smile on her lips: "Miss Zheng, how come you suddenly have time to come to my place?"
Although she had tried her best to bring Zheng Rui and Su Heng together, she did not have much interaction with Zheng Rui on a daily basis, and it was unclear why she came here specifically.
Zheng Rui raised an unfathomable smile, as if she held some important secret. "I came here today to bring you a piece of news that I'm sure you'll be very interested in."
Zhou Rou leaned back slightly, a look of curiosity and caution in her eyes: "Oh? Tell me about it."
"It's about your son." Zheng Rui said mysteriously. As soon as the word Su Heng came out, a subtle change flashed in Zhou Rou's eyes.
She smiled, but her eyes revealed a subtle wariness. Zheng Rui had been very close to Su Heng recently. Could it be that she had discovered something she shouldn't have?
"Let me tell you the truth." Zheng Rui pulled out a chair across from the desk and sat down carelessly, as if this was her own territory. "The reason Su Heng wanted to date me was actually a trap he set."
"Trap?" Zhou Rou repeated these two words faintly, staring at Zheng Rui with sharp eyes, waiting for her next words.
"Su Heng's target isn't our company, but your Lu Corporation!" Zheng Rui's eyes were resolute as she spoke word for word. "Actually, I'm sure President Zhou can guess the reason."
Zhou Rou remained calm, lowered her head slightly, and spoke slowly, "Do you think I would believe you? Don't forget, no matter what Su Heng's last name is, he is my son after all! Why should I trust an outsider?"
Zheng Rui smiled slightly, as if she had already anticipated Zhou Rou's reaction: "I came here today with 120,000% sincerity."
"Okay, what's the reason?" Zhou Rou asked calmly, as if everything was under control.
"Men." Zheng Rui answered concisely and clearly.
"Oh?" Zhou Rou narrowed her eyes and waited for her next words.
Zheng Rui looked away and said slowly, "Su Heng is a man who easily tempts women, and I'm no exception. I wanted to make our fake relationship real, but he wouldn't even look me in the eye. He was only thinking about Jiang Man, who had already left! Why should I continue to be used by him?!"
Zhou Rou listened quietly. It was undeniable that this reason was reasonable. Moreover, as far as she knew, Zheng Rui's reputation was indeed not very good, so it was not surprising that she would do such a thing.
"So, you turned to me just to take revenge on him?" Zhou Rou asked tentatively.
"That's right!" Zheng Rui said firmly, "I want him to know the consequences of looking down on me!"
Zhou Rou didn't speak for a long time, but two balls of anger gradually rose in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, she was fooled by her own son! She originally thought that Su Heng agreed to date Zheng Rui, and his target was Zheng!
Who knew that he would have such thoughts? She still feels guilty towards him!
Zheng Rui looked at Zhou Rou's dark face and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't be too angry. I have a suggestion that you can listen to."
Zhou Rou glanced at Zheng Rui, with a hint of impatience in her tone: "You say."
Zheng Rui's smile deepened, as if she was certain of victory. "What's the point of using Su Heng as a marriage partner? He's still a member of the Su family, after all. How can he help you? He's no match for your own biological daughter."
Xiao Jie? Zhou Rou frowned, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart: "I don't understand what you're saying. What does this have to do with Xiao Jie?"
"As far as I know, your daughter is of marriageable age. She seems to have been having some unpleasantness with you recently. It seems that she has been in contact with many men after moving out..." Zheng Rui said slowly, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Seeing Zhou Rou's face becoming increasingly ugly, she curled up a smug smile and said, "Instead of this, why not pick someone who is a good match for her..."
Zhou Rou stared at her with wide eyes, "Miss Zheng, are you worrying too much about our family affairs?"
Zheng Rui chuckled, as if everything was under her control. "Oh, if you want to attack Su Heng or even compete with him, your Lu Corporation has basically no chance! You have to find a company of equal strength to join forces with! Right now, Pu Corporation and your Lu Corporation are very close. I've always suspected that it's Su Heng's ally, and the two companies are just waiting to divide up Lu Corporation!"
Zhou Rou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her expression was extremely ugly.
She knew about this. Pu Jing had revealed long ago that Pu Caiwei and Su Heng were very close, and that even he didn't know what they were plotting recently! This was enough to show that this must be a big conspiracy!
"So why not just dismantle it from the root and marry Lu Jie into the Pu family!" Zheng Rui finally revealed her real purpose.
Zhou Rou remained silent.
Xiaojie and Pu Jing's engagement was once a story favored by everyone. At that time, she had already set her sights on Pu. Unfortunately, due to Pu Caiwei's opposition, the engagement had to be shelved.
Now, if what Zheng Rui said is true, then marrying into the Pu family can indeed be a heavy blow to Su Heng and the Zheng family, catching them off guard!
In the ward, Zhou Rou faced the hesitant Xiao Jie and slowly spoke, "But..." Her tone was filled with helplessness, "Xiao Jie doesn't even want to come back now."
Zheng Rui, standing aside, smiled confidently, as if everything was under her control. "So that's what Mr. Zhou is worried about. I have a solution."
Meanwhile, Lu Jie was about to go interview with several companies when she suddenly received a call from the hospital. Her heart tightened. She hurried to the hospital, found the ward, and pushed the door open: "Mom—"
In the ward, Zhou Rou sat upright on the sofa and looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Jie, you're here."
Lu Jie was stunned: "Mom...didn't you have a car accident?"
Zhou Rou shrugged lightly: "It's just a superficial wound, it's been treated. But I'm still very relieved that you can come to see me."
However, Lu Jie soon realized something was wrong and slowly left the ward: "No, you didn't have a car accident...right?"
Zhou Rou just looked at her and said earnestly, "Xiao Jie, if I hadn't used this method, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see you."
"You even lied to your daughter?" Lu Jie was extremely heartbroken. She turned around and used all her strength to turn the doorknob, but the door had already been locked.
