Chapter 543 Is this how you ask for help?

Action team, office.

Zhuo Lanyu never imagined that one day she would be standing here, waiting for a woman she used to look down on.

Every second was an immense ordeal for her.

She had finally managed to shake off Shi Kang's bodyguards, and this was her only chance, so she had to wait!

After a long while, the door opened, and Su Jin's figure appeared in her irritated line of sight.

Every time she saw Su Jin, she saw the image of someone she hated from her memories.

Even now, she still clearly remembers the scene of their first meeting.

She had assumed that Zhou Zhenxing's country wife was a rough, uncouth rural woman with very low moral character, so from the beginning, she placed herself in a superior position.

She was astonished when she saw Su Jin's extremely beautiful face and the dignified temperament that even her coarse clothes could not conceal.

This huge discrepancy between reality and expectations is even more unacceptable.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhenxing truly had no place for this woman in his heart and resolutely chose to divorce her.

Subconsciously, she felt a sense of superiority as a victor time and time again.

What's the use of being beautiful?

It's all show and no substance.

Compared to her, Su Jin is still just a nobody.

But to her utter surprise, this country woman whom she looked down upon was actually a resident of the military compound.

Her sense of crisis gradually intensified, especially after learning that Su Jin had also chosen to join the army; she was furious.

How can she be treated the same way as her, on equal footing!

The office was completely silent. Su Jin took in every change in her expression, and with a cold laugh, she guessed why she had come.

"You were looking for me?"

The calm voice finally calmed Zhuo Lanyu's chaotic thoughts.

Zhuo Lanyu took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and tried to speak in an equal tone.

"Brother Zhou is currently imprisoned. I would like to ask for your help in explaining things to Commander Xiao on his behalf."

There's no need to say more; the entire army already knows about Zhou Zhenxing's situation.

However, she had come to ask for a favor, but in front of Su Jin, she couldn't even muster the slightest bit of humility one would expect when asking for a favor.

"You've got the wrong person. There's nothing I can do for you." Su Jin refused without the slightest hesitation.

Zhuo Lanyu immediately became anxious, "Aren't you Xiao Yunfeng's girlfriend?"

The questioning was laced with obvious sarcasm.

Perhaps outsiders don't know about their relationship, but she does.

She was simply an orphan girl adopted by Xiao Yunfeng.

The rumors circulating in the military region might have been deliberately spread by her to let everyone know that she has powerful backers.

Now you're deliberately putting on airs in front of her, pshaw!

"If you explain things properly to Xiao Yunfeng, he'll be lenient with Brother Zhou! You don't want Brother Zhou's future to be ruined over something like this, do you?"

She spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her words conveying an unwavering certainty that Su Jin still harbored feelings for Zhou Zhenxing.

Su Jin found Zhuo Lanyu's arrogant demeanor extremely amusing, and she did indeed laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhuo Lanyu's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

If it weren't for Zhou Zhenxing, she truly wouldn't have wanted to say a single word to this woman!

"Is this how you ask for favors?" Su Jin's mocking gaze fell on her face.

Originally, I just wanted to get things over with quickly, but now I feel like I can "have a chat" with her.
