Let's see if he dares to keep bothering Ruoxi.
However, given the current situation, it seems unlikely that it can continue.
"What's going on?" Lu Jin also found it strange; these bodyguards seemed to listen to Ruoxi a lot.
Without thinking too much, she rushed into the circle of bodyguards.
Because Ruoxi was always by their side, the bodyguards had no choice but to make way for them to enter.
"You should leave now; no one will bother you."
Ran Jie remained relentless towards Lu Jin, saying, "Do you think I'll forgive you like this?"
"I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
"Take good care of you all until he comes back."
Ran Jie dusted himself off and stood up arrogantly. "No matter what you do, my whole family will never forgive you."
Lu Shen, who was standing opposite, did not speak, and the bodyguards did not continue to stop Ran Jie from leaving.
As he was leaving, Ran Jie suddenly thought of something and turned his gaze to Jian Ruoxi.
“If you had no connection with the Lu family, given your abilities, I might consider having you join Huarui.”
"But judging from your close relationship with the Lu family, I suppose you look down on a small company like Huarui."
"Miss Jane, I advise you to pray for good luck. Spending too much time with these heartless people will only bring you bad luck."
Jian Ruoxi heard it clearly. Ran Jie's purpose in saying this was undoubtedly to sow discord between her and Lu Jin, making her believe that her inability to enter Huarui was all because of Lu Jin.
Now she felt she could understand Lu Shen's feelings a little better. If she had known he was this kind of person, she shouldn't have listened to Lu Jin and saved him first.
Lu Shen should teach Ran Jie a lesson first, and see if he dares to speak to Lu Jin like that again.
"Are you satisfied now?" Lu Shen looked at Lu Jin, who was breathing a sigh of relief, with dissatisfaction.
"Thank you, big brother!" Big brother was still cold on the outside but warm on the inside. No matter how terrible his words were, he still considered her feelings.
Moreover, she brought a "get-out-of-jail-free card" with her today, so no matter what, her older brother wouldn't reprimand Ran Jie in front of his sister-in-law.
"This is a one-time exception." With that, Lu Shenjiu left with a group of bodyguards.
Lu Jin watched her older brother's departing figure, her eyes slightly moist. She remembered that her older brother had said the same thing last time.
This time, the reason for teaching Ran Jie a lesson was not only because of the signing list, but also because his older brother wanted to vent his anger that had been building up for many years.
Just as Jian Ruoxi and her group were about to leave, two more bodyguards in black appeared in front of them.
Su Ziyu quickly stepped in front of the two ladies, asking, "What else do you want to do?"
The two bodyguards glanced at Su Ziyu in front of them with disdain, feeling utterly contemptuous.
This person looks incredibly weak; in their eyes, he's not even qualified to be the on-screen partner of a young mistress.
Ignoring Su Ziyu in front of them, they spoke directly to the two people behind him, "Young Madam, Miss, the young master was worried about your safety going home, so he sent us to escort you back."
"No, you've misunderstood. Your young master and I are already..."
Before Jian Ruoxi could finish explaining, Lu Jin quickly took her arm and led her forward, saying, "Big brother is so thoughtful. I've been on tenterhooks all this time, I'm exhausted."
"Then you guys drive. Ziyu has been with us the whole way, so he can take a break."
As Jian Ruoxi got into the car, she couldn't help but look back in the direction Lu Shen had left, her eyes full of doubt.
Everything today was unusual: the bodyguards' respect and obedience, and the unchanging way they addressed her.
Were all of these things instructed by him?
Remembering the news circulating online a while ago that Lu Shen personally picked up Li Anran from the hospital, Jian Ruoxi quickly shook her head, dismissing the thought from her mind.
"How could that be? I must be overthinking it."
"Once Lu Shen and Li Anran get engaged, the title of 'young mistress' will belong to Li Anran."
After a while, A-Jie reported to Lu Shen, "Young Master, I have sent two people to take the young mistress and young lady home. They have arrived home safely. Please rest assured, Young Master."
Lu Shen stared blankly into the distance. He really wanted to take her back himself, but he was worried that if he got too close to her, he wouldn't be able to leave.
Jian Ruoxi brought Lu Jin home.
"Have some hot coffee to calm down first." Lu Jin's emotions had been fluctuating all day, and she was a little worried when she saw that Lu Jin had become silent after returning home.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to ask me what kind of grudge I have with Ran Jie?"
Since her divorce from Lu Shen, Lu Jin has been very tactful and stopped calling her "sister-in-law," except in one situation.
That was when she was extremely helpless and sad.
She wouldn't let such emotions show on set, only in front of people she relied on.
“I will listen when you want to talk.” Jian Ruoxi sat next to Lu Jin and held her hand.
“Sister-in-law, before you married into the Lu family, I was already a director.” Lu Jin began to recall the past.
Jian Ruoxi remembered this; she still recalled the undisguised shock on her face when she first heard about Lu Jin's profession.
She couldn't understand it at the time: how could the eldest daughter of the Lu family become a director?
Only now did Lu Jin finally give her the real answer.
"I have been a director for so many years and I love this profession. There is another reason, though, which is to atone for my sins."
Atonement? How could Lu Jin do that?
Jian Ruoxi had countless questions in her mind, but she knew now was not the time to ask them.
I've never heard the Lu family mention it before, so it seems that this matter concerning Lu Jin is still a taboo in the Lu family.
"Actually, I don't know how much longer I'll have to go through this. Maybe I'll be free when he comes back."
This was the first time Jian Ruoxi had heard Lu Jin mention that person.
Jian Ruoxi was all too familiar with Lu Jin's expression when he mentioned "him"—it was exactly how Lu Jin had looked three years ago when he spoke of Lu Shen.
She remembered that whenever she showed that expression, Lu Jin would laugh at her for being spineless.
That's a man, right? He seems to be Lu Jin's sweetheart.
"Where did he go?" Jian Ruoxi had overheard Lu Jin and the others' conversation on the mountain in the suburbs today and understood some of it.
Lu Jin shook his head, a look of confusion on his face.
“I don’t know where he went, or even if he’s still alive.”
"Sister-in-law, I wish I could know where he is and find him directly."
"But after all these years, I still haven't heard a thing from them."
Lu Jin felt like she was about to lose hope, especially after facing Ran Jie's questioning today, which almost destroyed her resolve.
"who is he?"
Lu Jin looked up at the window and seemed to see that sunny boy from back then smiling at him. "His name is Li Tianlei, and he's a complete idiot."
