A decade of deep affection was misplaced. Lu Zheng gave up invitations from top tech companies to dedicate himself to supporting Jiang Li'er's family business. However, on the eve of the Ne...
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Lu Zheng slammed the door shut, not wanting to meet with these two lunatics at all.
This was the first time Jiang Tai and Shen Cuiling had ever imagined being left like this at the door; a sense of humiliation surged into their hearts in an instant.
What a humiliation!
It would be one thing if they turned away celebrities and big businessmen, but it happened to be Lu Zheng, whom they looked down on the most.
They felt it was already humiliating enough that they had condescended to come to Lu Zheng's place. If it weren't for their daughter's company, they wouldn't have even thought of coming here.
What's with Lu Zheng putting on airs?
Without the Jiang family, he'd probably be worse off than a dog.
“Lu Zheng, we’ll see. I want to see how much of a show-off you are. Without the support of the Jiang family, what are you?” Shen Cuiling made no attempt to hide her true feelings.
"Oh, right, and also, didn't you, Lu Zheng, mentor quite a few people in the research department? Let me tell you, Lu Zheng, if you don't go back, they won't have an easy time either. Remember, if they lose their jobs or don't get paid, it's all your fault."
"I'll have my daughter say that during the meeting."
Shen Cuiling was unaware that Lu Zheng had already been brought into a small research team.
Lu Zheng recorded everything she said outside the door.
The group chat exploded at that moment.
Lu Zheng sneered: "Without me, Lu Zheng, would your Jiang family be where you are today? Don't threaten me, I, Lu Zheng, am not afraid. And what you owe me, Lu Zheng, I will definitely repay you tenfold in the future."
"Oh, look at you, so capable! Our Jiang family will be among the world's leading families in the future, and what are you, Lu Zheng, anyway? You're so arrogant now, aren't you ashamed?"
Jiang Tai snorted coldly: "Alright, let's go. I've wasted my time making this trip."
Jiang Lier and Zhou Mobei were still waiting a few kilometers away.
It was Zhou Mobei who suggested that neither of them show up.
Zhou Mobei deliberately tried to annoy Lu Zheng, but he didn't actually want Lu Zheng to leave the company.
He's all talk and no action, but in reality, he has no real ability. He knows absolutely nothing about new energy. Even when Jiang Li'er laid out the information about Lu Zheng's work on the table for him to look at, he couldn't understand it.
So if Lu Zheng really leaves, he really won't be able to lead that team.
If Lu Zheng returns to the company, there's another advantage: he can slowly humiliate this person. After all, he's a simp, and he knows what that means. Jiang Li'er told him all about the things Lu Zheng did when he was sleeping with her, without missing a single detail.
He's a playboy who's been with countless women. He knows women's minds. The better he treats a woman, the more likely he is to be betrayed.
But Lu Zheng always had to be humble and subservient.
This time, with Jiang Li'er's parents involved, they'll surely be able to win her over in just a few words.
Jiang Li'er still seemed very nervous, constantly looking in that direction.
Zhou Mobei sneered inwardly, but his face showed only worry. He reached out and took Jiang Li'er's hand: "Li'er, don't worry. I've analyzed Zhou Mobei's personality for you. A few kind words are all it takes to make him obediently come back."
"My eyelids are just twitching badly."
Jiang Li'er was panting heavily.
"Don't worry, I'm confident." Zhou Mobei said with a smile.
After a while, they saw the people coming from the car headlights. It was Jiang Li'er's parents, Jiang Tai and Shen Cuiling, who were walking quickly towards them.
However, Jiang Lier squinted and looked hard behind them, but did not see Lu Zheng.
She was taken aback.
She hurriedly opened the car door, got out, and ran over to ask, "Dad, Mom, where is he?"
"Hmph! That damned Lu Zheng, does he really think we, husband and wife, are afraid of him? What is he? He's nothing but a pig or dog that we trample under our feet. If it weren't for the Jiang family, would he be where he is today?"
"Exactly, he was just showing off and being arrogant."
Jiang Li'er didn't want to hear any of this nonsense; she just wanted to know if Lu Zheng would come back with her.
"No, Dad, Mom, where's Lu Zhengren?"
"He won't come with us, but alas, our Jiang family absolutely needs him, doesn't it?"
Jiang Li'er was panting, almost losing her temper.
Lu Zheng is a genius; he just loves Jiang Li'er too much.
How could she not know that?
"Mom and Dad, why are you so unreliable in handling things?"
Jiang Li'er was furious.
Jiang Tai said speechlessly, "If he doesn't want to come with us, there's nothing we can do, right?"
"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, Li'er, don't be anxious either. Let me think about it. We're sure we'll have a good way to solve this problem."
Zhou Mobei spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
Jiang Li'er glanced at Zhou Mobei, her eyes lighting up: "Mobei, do you have a solution?"
Zhou Mobei chuckled and said, "Yes, but it's too late to talk about it today. Let's go back first and talk about it later. I guarantee Lu Zheng will be back tomorrow."
Zhou Mobei had just assured Jiang Li'er that Lu Zheng would definitely be here, but he still broke his promise.
Now he's started bragging again.
The key point is that right after he finished bragging, Jiang Tai suddenly burst into laughter, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Little Zhou, your uncle has high hopes for you, hehe, you're much better than that dead dog."
"Exactly, what is that Lu Zheng anyway? He even threw a tantrum at us. If he weren't somewhat useful, we would have fired him long ago."
"Alright, Mom, Dad, Mo Bei, let's go back."
Jiang Li'er was somewhat uneasy. Although Zhou Mobei had promised to find the person, her heart was pounding wildly.
Jiang Tai's eyes darted over Zhou Mobei a few times before he suddenly laughed: "Mobei, if you ask me, why don't you stay at our place tonight? It's too late."
"ah?"
Zhou Mobei feigned surprise: "Stay? Stay at your house?"
"Yes, Mo Bei, you don't need to be so reserved. You know, your aunt and uncle have always liked you very much, haven't they? When you two separated, your aunt and uncle were very sad for a long time."
"You two should live together. Don't worry about Lu Zheng. Our family doesn't like him anyway. He's completely different from you."
"Dad, Mom!" Jiang Li'er's face instantly turned red. "What are you doing..."
“You’re both adults, why hide this kind of thing? We’ve all been through this, do you think we don’t understand? As long as you two are happy, your uncle and aunt are happy. As for the marriage with Lu Zheng, let’s just forget about it, it doesn’t matter.”
“Yes, if we break up, so be it, it doesn’t matter.” Shen Cuiling echoed Jiang Tai’s words, and the four of them immediately laughed.
They've become like a family.
