Humiliated by my mother-in-law, I married into a wealthy family with my son four years later

Chapter 374 Good people will fight to the end

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan was afraid that Lu Jie would do something outrageous. He shouted, "Xiao Jie, that's enough!"

At this moment, there was a sound from the entrance, and then two people walked in, one in front and one behind. They were Zheng Xuan's parents, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

Lu Jie was taken aback by the sudden arrival of these two men late at night. Zheng Rui seized the opportunity and quickly escaped from her grasp, collapsing on the ground and sobbing loudly.

"Dad... Dad... Look at this crazy woman, she almost wanted to kill me just now!" Zheng Rui cried and pointed at Lu Jie and accused.

Zheng Jianping saw his daughter, her clothes disheveled and her face stained with tears, and he was instantly filled with anger and heartache. He quickly rushed upstairs, stared fiercely at Lu Jie, and demanded, "Are you the one who beat my daughter like this?"

Lu Jie finally came to her senses and looked at Zheng Jianping standing in front of her, her face filled with rage. She wondered whether to admit it or put the blame on Zheng Xuan... But then she thought, since she had already agreed to help, she might as well be the good guy and send Zheng Xuan to hell!

So she nodded and answered decisively: "Yes, it's me."

Zheng Rui continued to cry, and Zheng Jianping saw it, and he could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and was about to slap her.

Lu Jie was stunned. She had never expected this kind of scene! If she had known this would happen, she should have never admitted it!

At this moment, she was suddenly pushed hard, followed by a crisp slap. Lu Jie looked closely and saw Zheng Xuan standing in front of Zheng Jianping, with a red mark on the left side of his face.

"You..." Zheng Jianping glared at his son, pointed his finger at him, and said angrily, "What are you doing? She just bullied your sister, didn't you see?"

"Dad." Zheng Xuan turned around, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, "I brought Xiaojie back home. Even if she gets into trouble, I should be the one to take the responsibility."

After that, he looked at Lu Jie meaningfully and whispered, "Go back to your room first."

Lu Jie suddenly felt a little helpless and could only stand there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

At this moment, Zheng Rui screamed again: "It's all this woman's fault! She hit me and tried to push me down the stairs! Dad, quickly arrest this bitch! I'm calling the police!"

Zheng Jianping's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He fixed his gaze on Lu Jie and said angrily, "I didn't expect that a girl like you would hit someone in my Zheng family!"

He turned his head and stared at Zheng Xuan again, ordering, "Get out of the way!"

Zheng Xuan refused and insisted on standing in front of Lu Jie.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while. Then, someone came up from downstairs, glanced over, and said coldly, "Haven't you had enough of this? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

The group instantly fell silent. Madam Zheng frowned, sizing them up. She glanced at Zheng Rui with a hint of disdain, then fixed her gaze on Zheng Jianping. She chided, "You're an elder, and you're getting into a fight with a young man. If this gets out, won't people laugh at you?"

Lu Jie looked at Mrs. Zheng and could see that Zheng Jianping was a little afraid of her.

"How can I just sit there and watch my daughter being bullied?" Zheng Jianping became angrier as he spoke.

After Mrs. Zheng appeared, Zheng Rui's aura was not as strong as before. She stood obediently beside her father, looking very aggrieved.

Madam Zheng curled her lips and looked at Zheng Rui with a half-smile. She said, "Everything has a reason. Who would fight for no reason? Why don't you first ask what your precious daughter did to make her so angry?"

Lu Jie's body trembled, and her eyes suddenly brightened. Madam Zheng is so wise!

Zheng Rui gritted her teeth and glared at Madam Zheng beside her. This was also her stepmother! Ever since she was little, this woman had always disliked her and would find any opportunity to mock her, and today was no exception! However, in front of Lu Jie, she hated her so much!

"I didn't!" Zheng Rui argued.

Lu Jie chuckled, looked at her and said, "You didn't? Your mouth is as poisonous as arsenic, saying that I have ulterior motives and that the Lu family is trash... As a member of the Lu family, if I don't beat you up, I'd be letting my ancestors down!"

Lu Jie added fuel to the fire, and her indignant look made anyone who saw her think that she was a girl with a strong sense of responsibility!

She paused, then continued, "Who was the first to hit someone with the bag? Miss Zheng, your ability to lie with your eyes open is truly admirable."

As she spoke, she hugged her arms to her chest. On her slender, white wrists, there was a red mark and traces of the strap being pulled out, left by her when she used her arms to block it.

Madam Zheng covered her mouth in feigned surprise. "Oh, this is truly horrible! A well-educated lady from a noble family would never do such a thing!"

Seeing the situation turn around and Lu Jie gaining the upper hand, Zheng Rui looked at Zheng Jianping for help. He looked serious, his lips tightly pursed, and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Jie decided not to make a big deal out of it. She pretended to sigh and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have acted so rashly. I'm really embarrassed to have made such a fool of myself the first time I met my uncle and aunt."

"No, it happened for a reason and it's just as it happened." Madam Zheng raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Zheng Xuan, and asked, "Oh, by the way, I heard you mention the Lu family just now. Are you Lu Jie?"

Zheng Xuan came back to his senses, walked to Lu Jie's side, and immediately introduced: "Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend Lu Jie."

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Lu Jie's lips curled up into a smile, and her words were very sweet.

Zheng Jianping raised his eyes and looked at them steadily, and asked doubtfully: "You..."

Mrs. Zheng suddenly interrupted, "It's so late. We just came back from abroad and are all tired. Let's go back and rest first. Xiaojie, please feel free to do as you please. Let Ah Xuan take care of you."

"Well! Uncle and aunt, go back and have some rest!" Lu Jie responded obediently.

Zheng Rui bit her lip and glanced at her father with a hint of resentment. But even if Zheng Jianping wanted to help her, he couldn't openly favor his illegitimate daughter in front of his son and wife.

After saying that, he didn't look at her again, stood up, and walked slowly back to the bedroom.

Madam Zheng glanced at her coldly, turned her eyes away, and looked at Lu Jie with a smile: "Xiao Jie, have a good rest. See you tomorrow."

She had always disliked Zheng Rui, the bastard daughter of a dancer, and today someone finally helped her vent her anger. Mrs. Zheng suddenly felt a good impression of Lu Jie.

Lu Jie smiled back, flattered, "See you tomorrow!"
