"No, I just want to ask Juan for something." Zhu Jun quickly explained for fear that Zuo Qing would misunderstand.
"That's good. Jun! Mom will tell you..." Zuo Qing hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and finally spoke out: "Jun, your grandma is a bit weird, you and Juan, don't get close to her. If you see Juan at Zhou's house later, tell her not to go home yet, and stay there peacefully. I will support your grandma here, but if I really can't stand it anymore, I will let your dad go and see what your grandma is trying to do."
Zuo Qing's voice was soft, but full of determination.
Zhu Jun was stunned.
Zhu Jun's impression of his mother was always that of a gentle and docile person. In their family, Zhu Manwen made all the decisions, both major and minor.
Zuo Qing's family was from the countryside, and many people felt sorry for Zhu Manwen's marriage, thinking he had found a wife whose in-laws had no support at all. Even Wang Wenjun felt the same way.
To ensure Zhu Manwen would not be embarrassed, Zuo Qing always put her parents-in-law and husband first after marrying into the Zhu family. No matter how difficult the task was, as long as Wang Wenjun asked, Zuo Qing would do her best to accomplish it.
But now, Zuo Qing, who had always been gentle and filial, could actually say such words. This made Zhu Jun both surprised and a little sad.
"Jun, do you think your mother did something wrong?" Zuo Qing saw that Zhu Jun was silent for a long time and thought that her son did not agree with her approach.
"No, Mom, you're right. You're so nice to us." Zhu Jun came to his senses after being asked this by Zuo Qing.
"Silly child, if Mommy doesn't treat you three well, who else can she treat well?" Zuo Qing wanted to touch the child's head as usual, but she found that Zhu Jun seemed to have grown taller recently. If Zhu Jun didn't lower his head, Zuo Qing really couldn't reach him.
But Zhu Jun seemed a little dazed today, without any of his usual cleverness. Zuo Qing's hand paused in the air for a second, and Zhu Jun had not yet reacted.
Zuo Qing withdrew his hand awkwardly, "Jun, it's getting late. I have to go to work. If you see Juan, remember to tell her! Don't forget."
"Okay, I remember it." Zhu Jun nodded seriously.
Growing up, Zhu Jun had always believed that his mother only cared about his father and grandparents, and had no place for him and his sister. But now, Zhu Jun knew he was wrong. Only at this critical moment did he realize that Zuo Qing was his and Zhu Juan's biological mother.
Well, in this world, besides myself, there is another person who can protect that silly girl Juan.
After Zuo Qing left, Zhu Jun hurriedly ate breakfast and ran to Zhou Yuanyuan's house.
When Zhu Jun arrived at Zhou's house, there was a person standing at the door who was beyond Zhu Jun's expectations.
When Zhu Jun saw Liu Jingye, he almost didn't recognize him. Liu Jingye had a scruffy beard and wrinkled clothes, and he was squatting in front of General Zhou's house. When he saw Zhu Jun, Liu Jingye raised his bloodshot eyes and glanced at Zhu Jun.
"Uncle Liu, are you here to see General Zhou?" Zhu Jun asked. Looking at the man who had almost become his future father-in-law, and remembering the news of Liu Meiling's death, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"It's Jun! Are you going back to the compound to see your grandma?" Liu Jingye was also stunned when he saw Zhu Jun.
The current Zhu Jun seemed to be a completely different person from the one Liu Jingye remembered. In the past, Zhu Jun had an ordinary appearance and was less than 1.7 meters tall. He looked like an ordinary person. If it weren't for the aura of the Zhu family, he really wouldn't be the type that his parents-in-law liked.
Zhu Jun now looked full of energy. Standing there, his features were exactly the same as before, yet he gave off the air of a young, accomplished man. Oh! That's wrong! I haven't seen Zhu Jun for a few months, how come he's grown so much taller? Zhu Jun should be around 1.75 meters tall now, right? Liu Jingye had never seen anyone in their mid-twenties grow so tall.
"No, I'm here to look for Zhou Yuanyuan." General Zhou's home was very close to Zhu Xiangyang's. Zhu Jun didn't dare to say that he was here to look for Zhu Juan, for fear that Wang Wenjun would hear him.
Looking for Zhou Yuanyuan? Could it be that Zhu Jun saw Zhou Yuanyuan? Their daughter Meiling just went there not long ago!
Thinking of this, Liu Jingye felt a little sour in his heart, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Jun! This guy~! You should know your own limitations. How could the Zhou family's delicate daughter like you?"
"Uncle Liu, what are you talking about?" Zhu Jun was stunned by Liu Jingye's words.
"It's our Meiling who is so unlucky! She passed away at such a young age. No wonder you..." Liu Jingye was immersed in his own thoughts and failed to understand Zhu Jun's implication, and continued to sigh.
"Uncle Liu, please don't be ridiculous. I don't have any feelings for Zhou Yuanyuan, and I don't dare to say that. Zhou Yuanyuan is my brother's fiancée and a good friend of my sister Juan." Zhu Jun felt something was wrong with what Liu Jingye said and quickly interrupted him.
Zhu Jun was sweating profusely. This was the Zhou family! He couldn't handle General Zhou's wrath alone, even if Zhou Yuanyuan, that perverted woman, could kill someone with a single wave of her hand! He had come here to find Zhou Yuanyuan for a serious matter! Unlike Liu Jingye, he was being wronged.
"The girl from the Zhou family is indeed very outstanding. There is nothing to hide that you like her, right? Uncle Liu..." Before Liu Jingye finished his words, the gate of the Zhou family's courtyard opened.
"Zhu Jun, come in." Zhou Yuanyuan stood at the gate of the courtyard and said with a cold face.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhu Jun was caught gossiping behind his back. He didn't dare to look at Zhou Yuanyuan's expression. He quickly leaned sideways and slipped through the door, then ran into the Zhou family's living room.
Zhu Jun didn't dare to invite Liu Jingye to come in, as he could feel Zhou Yuanyuan's anger.
Uncle Liu just keeps talking nonsense, so let him face Zhou Yuanyuan’s anger!
"Sister Zhou." Liu Jingye called out awkwardly when he saw that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't invite him in.
"Director Liu, your family's affairs are of great concern to me. The public security department is already following up on it, and I think there will be a result soon." Although Zhou Yuanyuan was unhappy about Liu Jingye's actions behind her back, considering Liu Jingye's pain of losing his daughter, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to bother with him too much.
"Sister Zhou, could you please ask General Zhou to second Captain Wen back to catch the murderer of Meiling?" Liu Jingye knew that he could not enter the Zhou family today, but he did not give up and was unwilling to leave just like that.
