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

Zhu Jin naturally would not let that slap fall on his face.

She grabbed the opponent's wrist tightly, restraining his movements, and looked at him with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Ruyan staggered and took two steps back in fright, but was unable to take her hand out of the opponent's hand.

"You, let go!"

Zhu Jin suddenly let go of his hand, but Ji Ruyan didn't notice and took two steps back. If the two people on the left and right hadn't reached out to stop him, she would have fallen to the ground.

"How can you be so disrespectful to your elders!" Ji Ruyan said in a sharp voice, "The Huo family is really unlucky to have an unruly granddaughter-in-law like you!"

Zhu Jin looked coldly at the face that was twisted with anger and said calmly, "Mrs. Song is also your elder. I don't see any respect from you."

"Her? What kind of elder is she?" Ji Ruyan mocked, "She is just a woman who abandoned her husband and son. How dare she say that she is an elder?"

Zhu Jin frowned.

Ji Ruyan looked at her and sneered coldly, "You don't know what she did, do you? Huh, you are a brainless thing. People who come from a small family really don't have a brain."

"If you ask me, since you are marrying into the Huo family, you'd better be smart and don't embarrass the Huo family outside!"

Coming from a small family, Zhu Jin only felt that the people in front of him were noisy, rude and uneducated. They scolded him for a long time without changing a single word. It was really ridiculous.

"Whatever Grandma Song did, I will listen to her instead of listening to you chirping."

Zhu Jin's tone was calm, "Besides, when was it your Ji family's turn to intervene in the Huo family's affairs?"

Zhu Jin's eyes skipped over Ji Ruyan and landed on the man at the end of the path not far away.

"Husband," Zhu Jin said, "Am I right?"

Her words stunned the three members of the Ji family.

Ji Ruyan and the others turned their heads stiffly.

They saw a man wearing a black mask being pushed towards them by Assistant Chen.

"Grandma Ji." The low, hoarse voice was emotionless.

Even if they couldn't see his face, everyone could guess who he was based on the coercive aura he exuded and Assistant Chen behind him.

"When will it be the Ji family's turn to make irresponsible remarks about the Huo family's affairs?"

Seeing Huo Jingcheng, Ji Ruyan's aura became much lower.

He used to be arrogant and arrogant, but now he lowers his head and looks a little submissive.

"Jingcheng, I'm just worried that some people have just entered the Huo family and haven't learned the rules yet, so they come out to ruin the reputation of your Huo family." Ji Ruyan said with a flattering tone.

Huo Jingcheng held Zhu Jin's hand with an obvious attitude.

"She is the wife I am marrying and it is written in the household registration book."

"When will it be your turn as a person with a foreign surname to teach you the rules?"

The cold voice made Ji Ruyan tremble.

Ji Ruyan tried to save her face and said, "After all, we are related by marriage. Huo Jingcheng, it's inappropriate for you to say that."

Huo Jingcheng raised his eyelids and looked at her without saying a word.

Ji Ruyan wanted to say something else, but the person beside her tugged on her sleeves in a hurry and shook her head to signal her to stop talking.

In the end, the woman beside Ji Ruyan smiled and apologized, and dragged her away.

"Thank you." Mrs. Song nodded towards Zhu Jin.

She looked at Zhu Jin, as if her youthful appearance flashed through her eyes.

If his daughter was still alive, she should be as old as the other party.

How great would it be if my daughter was still alive.

Mrs. Song's heart was filled with emotions. She closed her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

"Are you interested in that painting?"

Zhu Jin was startled and nodded quickly, "Yes. I want to try to restore the necklace in the painting."

"I'm sorry, I may offend you a little by saying this. But I really hope to be able to help you with this, or should I say, I hope that this wish can be realized."

Mrs. Song drooped her eyelids, covering most of the emotions in her eyes, and her words did not fluctuate at all.

"In that case, come to Song's house tomorrow afternoon. I'll have a chat with you."

"If you can, I'll leave this list to you."

Zhu Jin explained, "You don't have to be like this."

Mrs. Song looked puzzled.

"I'm helping you because I can't stand her bullying you. And Jingcheng said that you watched him grow up and have a very good relationship with him, so I naturally have no reason to stand by and watch."

Mrs. Song shook her head, "It's not to repay the favor, I just suddenly thought..."

She paused for a moment before saying again, "If my daughter grows up, she will also be in front of me and protect me."

"I thought maybe you could give it a try."

"Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Mrs. Song just made a faint hum, nodded to Huo Jingcheng, then turned and left.

When we got back to the car, more than half an hour had passed before Zhu Jin regained his senses.

The Ji family is one of the wealthy families in the upper-class circles of Beijing.

Originally, Huo Jingcheng mentioned it when he helped him choose tasks.

Although he said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Zhu Jin understood that he hoped that he could establish a connection with the Ji family through Mrs. Song.

After all, the current head of the Ji family is Mrs. Song's biological son.

Was there anything wrong with what he just did?

Zhu Jin couldn't help but frown.

"What are you thinking about?"

The man's hand covered her small hand, and his big palm could just wrap her hand in it.

"Did I do something wrong today?" Zhu Jin asked.

"Where is wrong."

It's hard to hear the emotion in Huo Jingcheng's words.

Zhu Jin could only figure out the meaning of the other party's words, "You should be hoping that I can get in touch with the Ji family through Mrs. Song? But I seem to have directly offended the Ji family today."

The man didn't answer, but yanked her into his arms.

The two of them were so close that the heat of their skin could be felt by each other even through their clothes.

Zhu Jin was forced to look up at the person.

"Ji's family?"

The man wore a mask that blocked most of his expressions, except for his pair of eyes as black as obsidian, staring straight at her.

The calloused thumb was stroking Zhu Jin's lips.

"She cannot represent the Ji family." Huo Jingcheng said, "She is just a parasite raised by the Ji family. It is not her turn to make the decision yet."

"Besides, you did a great job today."

Zhu Jin inexplicably heard a hint of joy in Huo Jingcheng's tone.

She suspected she was hallucinating.

It was clear that the other party's words were plain and straightforward, with almost no emotion at all.

"You are from the Huo family and mine." Huo Jingcheng's hand on her back was combing her long hair like a comb, "So, you can boldly do whatever you want. "

"We from Huo Jingcheng are not capable of bullying anyone who loves cats or dogs."

The corners of Zhu Jin's mouth subconsciously rose slightly.

"Ah."

Huo Jingcheng gently smoothed her long hair, "So, next time, just call her back."

"I said, no matter what happens, I will be there."
