After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

"As long as you are willing to marry me, I can do whatever you want."

I don't know if Huo Jingcheng answered in a low voice or if he didn't answer at all. Zhu Jin, who was standing outside the door, couldn't hear his voice and could only hear Ji Siyan's voice.

"I can help you get back everything that belongs to you. How can she help you?"

"The Zhu family is a low-class family, and I have inquired about it. She is not favored at all in the family."

"Why did you choose her instead of me? I am the one who can help you gain a foothold in the Huo family!"

Ji Siyan's voice was filled with hysterical grievance.

Zhu Jin doubted that her voice could be heard by the Huo family upstairs and downstairs.

Just when Zhu Jin was hesitant, unsure whether he should step forward, a man's deep and sweet voice came from the room.

"Xiao Jin, come in."

Huo Jingcheng's eyes fell on Zhu Jin's exposed half of the foot at the door, and he did not look at Ji Siyan who was stopped one meter away by Assistant Chen.

When Zhu Jin passed by Ji Siyan, he took a quick glance and saw that the woman's eyes were red and she looked aggrieved as if she had been bullied. However, when she looked at Zhu Jin, her eyes were full of hatred and resentment.

A generous palm was pressed against Zhu Jin's slender waist. Huo Jingcheng used some clever force with his arms to make Zhu Jin fall into his arms.

The man's breath hit her nostrils and enveloped Zhu Jin, making her unable to struggle and could only lie obediently on his chest.

"Third Aunt, I don't want to hear you say anything I shouldn't say again."

Huo Jingcheng's chest was shaking when he spoke, which made Zhu Jin's ears numb.

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, Huo Jingcheng was really cold and cold.

Ji Siyan confessed her heart for a long time here, and in exchange for saying "Third Aunt", wouldn't this cost someone's life?

Even if he couldn't see it, Zhu Jin could feel the resentment in Ji Siyan's eyes.

That sight seemed to tear her into holes.

"See you off." Huo Jingcheng said coldly.

Assistant Chen hurriedly took Ji Siyan out, who was in a daze, and helped close the door thoughtfully.

In the blink of an eye, only Huo Jingcheng and Zhu Jin were left in the room.

The generous palm caressed Zhu Jin's back, which made him feel comfortable and numb at the same time. Her body couldn't help but relax in his arms.

"Is this what you did to the second wife of the Huo family?"

Zhu Jin raised his head and wanted to explain, but found that the distance between the two was too close, so close that Huo Jingcheng could touch his lips as long as he lowered his head.

The two people's breaths intertwined as they looked at each other, and the ambiguous breath gradually fermented in the air, disturbing their sober reason.

The powerful palms were placed on the back of the head, and the lips that were close to each other were ravaged wantonly.

Zhu Jin subconsciously raised his arms to wrap around Huo Jingcheng's neck, passively accepting the other's kiss.

She had forgotten how she was brought to bed and when she was stripped naked.

She just felt like a lonely boat, swinging on the stormy lake, which made her mind confused. She only knew how to cling to the thick branches to avoid falling into the lake.

When he was so tired that he was unconscious, Zhu Jin heard a man's voice in his ear.

"Next time you don't know how to be the second wife of the Huo family, I don't mind teaching you step by step."

Zhu Jin fell into sleep before he had time to think about how the other party wanted to teach him.

When she woke up the next day, Zhu Jin felt sore all over her body and didn't even have the strength to get up.

The trembling legs and red marks on the body showed the intensity of the battle last night.

After sitting on the bed holding the quilt for a while, Zhu Jin moved his legs and shakily got out of bed to wash up.

Huo Jingcheng was not in the room, but the whole room was filled with his scent, which made people blush.

Zhu Jin opened the window for ventilation and went downstairs to eat. Thinking of the workroom, he simply wandered around this floor and finally settled on the second one to the right of the bedroom.

This room faces the fountain in the back garden downstairs. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the back garden by opening the window. The location is perfect.

"Second Madam, do you have any special requirements for the furniture? For example, the type of wood or the brand of furniture?" the housekeeper asked.

Zhu Jin stood in front of the window and looked at the garden downstairs, "No special requirements, just as soon as possible."

"Yes."

That night, Mrs. Huo felt unwell and did not come down to eat. Instead, he had the food delivered upstairs.

Downstairs, Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng were sitting under the Huo family's big room, and on the other side were the Huo family's third and fourth rooms.

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Jin saw the red and swollen eye circles on Ji Siyan's face that could not be covered with foundation and the resentful glances she cast from time to time.

At this moment, Ji Siyan still looks like a domineering and arrogant woman when they first met her. Instead, she looks like a resentful woman in the palace.

Zhu Jin ignored Ji Siyan directly. She didn't want to have a boring conflict with her.

However, it was obvious that Ji Siyan had no intention of letting her go.

"The day after tomorrow is the engagement party for the daughter of the Shen family. I heard that Miss Zhu and Master Ji are very familiar with each other." Ji Siyan asked with ulterior motives, "I wonder what Miss Zhu thinks of this engagement party."

The fact that Zhu Jin and Ji Huai were engaged was not a secret in Beijing circles.

Therefore, Ji Siyan's question instantly attracted the attention of others.

Zhu Jin raised his eyes to meet Ji Siyan's gaze and smiled faintly, "Miss Shen and Master Ji are in love, how can I see it since I'm not a relative of the Ji family?"

"The rumors are not credible. After all, I also heard that the third aunt was engaged to my family, Jingcheng."

The words spoken softly succeeded in making the smile crackle on Ji Siyan's face and her almond-shaped eyes widen.

This is the last thing Ji Siyan wants to be mentioned.

If it hadn't been an accident, how could she have married Huo Zhiqi, a loser who forced her to grow up so much and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun!

"So, rumors are just rumors. It's hard to tell whether they are true or not." Zhu Jin said lightly, "The young master of the Ji family and I used to be neighbors. We only have neighborly feelings, but we don't know each other very well."

Ji Siyan bit her lower lip lightly and was about to say something else but was interrupted by Huo Zhigao.

"By the way. Jingcheng, do you plan to go to the Shen family's engagement party the day after tomorrow?" Huo Zhigao asked, "The Shen family sent the invitation before."

Huo Jingcheng slowly cut the sandwich on the plate, "Yeah. I plan to go."

"Okay. Do you want to prepare the gift yourself?"

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng responded calmly, "Assistant Chen has already prepared it."

Huo Zhigao smiled and said, "That's good. I can rest assured if you do things."

The simple conversation between the two dissipated the tense atmosphere just now, and the rest of the Huo family also chatted.

Ji Siyan didn't take the initiative to cause trouble anymore, and Zhu Jin didn't bother to trouble her.

However, Zhu Jin was curious about the relationship between the Shen family and Huo Jingcheng.

After dinner, when Zhu Jin pushed Huo Jingcheng to the garden to bask in the sun, she couldn't help but ask her doubts.

"Are you familiar with the Shen family?"

"My mother used to be the third young lady of the Shen family, who is also the younger sister of the current head of the Shen family."

Zhu Jin paused and froze on the spot.
