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

The words were not long but they were enough to move Zhu Jin's heart.

The sound of my heart pounding in my ears, like a drum hitting my eardrums.

She could feel her heart palpitating with it.

"Is there any difficulty?" Huo Jingcheng asked when he saw Zhu Jin remained silent for a long time.

She came back to her senses, met Huo Jingcheng's eyes, and shook her head, "I thought you would want to help me deal with everything."

"If you need me to, I can do that." Huo Jingcheng paused, "But I think you hope to have the courage to be independent and the ability to handle things on your own. Similarly, I believe you think so too."

"I never thought that you were a delicate flower that needed to be held in the palm of your hand and cared for in order to grow."

"I hope you can grow into a fellow traveler who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

Huo Jingcheng's words were not as affectionate as the usual love words one hears, but Zhu Jin felt particularly warm and happy.

She felt that the other party truly regarded her as an independent person, rather than someone who was dependent and attached to her.

"If there is something you don't understand, don't know how to deal with, that's normal." Huo Jingcheng's deep voice was gentler than usual, as if he was coaxing a child.

If such a voice and tone were heard by the Huo Group and Huo Jingcheng's former subordinates, they would probably think that the Second Master was possessed by a ghost.

Zhu Jin was completely calmed down by Huo Jingcheng's comfort, and her heart was filled with sweet honey. She couldn't help but smile slightly, "Okay. If there is anything I did wrong, or if there is anything that needs to be improved, you must tell me."

"Yeah." Huo Jingcheng held the person in his arms and patted his back gently to comfort him.

Assistant Chen was standing outside the door, asking the waiter who was about to serve the dishes to put them down and not bring them in.

He knew that it was not suitable for anyone else to enter the box now.

After finishing his meal, Zhu Jin leaned in Huo Jingcheng's arms and looked through the trending searches and messages on his phone.

In addition to questioning where Zhu Jin got his qualification to participate in the competition, the hot searches also questioned whether the Huo Group intended to use improper means to seek benefits. By the way, many people also doubted Zhu Jin's true identity and background.

There is everything on the internet.

This person suspected that Zhu Jin was the illegitimate daughter of some master of the Huo family or the mistress of someone in the Huo family, and planned to help her to the top.

The man said that he was a classmate and friend of Zhu Jin, and slandered Zhu Jin's past, saying that she had no education, no ability, and even relied on her family.

And this wave also successfully affected the Zhu family.

Ever since the previous incident, Zhu Chen hadn't contacted Zhu Jin for a long time, and Zhu Jin even forgot that he had such a father.

It was not until the name "Zhu Chen" appeared on the phone in his hand that Zhu Jin was in a daze for a while before he came to his senses and pressed the answer button.

"Zhu Jin, what on earth are you doing!"

"Can you please have some shame? How dare you! If it weren't for those people on the Internet, I wouldn't have known you had done so many asshole things before! No wonder your grades have always been bad."

"Also, what are you doing this time? Do you think you can do whatever you want because you have Huo Jingcheng's support?"

"Can you use your brain? How can someone like you go to a place like the Hibiscus Prize to cheat people?"

Zhu Chen cursed continuously without stopping.

If he were standing in front of me, I'm afraid he would poke that finger directly into my forehead.

After Zhu Chen finished cursing, he also released the depression that had been suppressed in his chest for the past few days.

Zhu Chen couldn't help but frown when there was no response from the other end of the phone. He then asked in a commanding tone, "Why don't you answer?"

"Zhu Jin, don't forget, I'm your father!"

Zhu Jin said calmly, "Do you still remember that you are my father? From what you said and your tone just now, I thought you were one of my enemies."

"You!" Zhu Chen was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

"Whatever others say is what it is. What? Do you have no brains, or do you know that you have ignored me all these years and have no idea what I have been through?"

Zhu Jin put the phone he was talking on on the table, picked up the tablet he had been using, continued to look through the comments on the Internet and took screenshots and marked them accordingly, intending to find corresponding evidence to debunk those rumors bit by bit.

"After not being a father for so many years, you now remember that you are a father?"

"you!"

"Achen, calm down and don't be angry with the child."

A gentle female voice came from the receiver, obviously Gao Weilan's voice.

Will she speak for herself?

Zhu Jin snorted coldly and continued to wait to hear what the other party had to say.

"Jinjin, you too. Your dad has always cared about you, but as a father he doesn't know how to care for you."

"Don't say those words to upset your dad. Besides, your tuition and living expenses over the years were all paid by your dad. We are all a family."

Zhu Chen snorted coldly, "If only she were that sensible."

A cold smile appeared on Zhu Jin's lips. Some people are really shameless and invincible.

Tuition and living expenses?

She really dares to say that.

"So, when are you going to give me my mother's original shares?" Zhu Jin said calmly.

Gently slide your fingertips across the screen, bend your fingers and tap the keyboard twice to take a screenshot and save it.

The other end of the phone fell into dead silence.

The next second, there was a beep as the call was hung up.

"Do you need my help?"

The broad palm tightly covered Zhu Jin's hand, wrapped it in his own palm, and the two interlocked their fingers. "For example, teach him a lesson. Let him know how to respect a person."

Huo Jingcheng's voice was low, and his hot breath was on Zhu Jin's neck when he spoke. The itchiness made her shrink her neck and glare at him with a look of slight reproach, "What are you doing? No, I am still useful to the Zhu Group. Zhu Chen was able to establish the current Zhu Group because he used my mother's money to save it in an emergency, so that it could survive."

"Zhu Chen may have forgotten one thing. When he asked my mother for the money, he personally signed a contract. The contract clearly stated that the shares in Zhu Chen's hands, that is, 30% of the shares of Zhu Group, would belong to my mother. Unless Zhu Chen could repay the money he borrowed at a fixed annual interest rate."

Zhu Jin's eyes were cold. "So many years have passed, and the money has long been compounded with interest. Until now, even if he sold the Zhu Group, he would not be able to pay back the money. The best way to pay back the money is to fulfill the contract and hand over the shares."

Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows. "I remember that the Zhu Group has raised funds many times, and its shares have been diluted many times. I'm afraid that Zhu Chen's actual holdings are only about 30% left, right?"
