Chapter 161 The Protective Eldest Daughter-in-Law
Jiang Ruzhen looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the girl who had just gone into the building had returned at some point.
Her eyes darted around, and she shouted sharply.
"Who are you? I can hit him if I want, it's none of your business."
Fang Tingting walked over warily and grabbed the boss's arm, displaying a possessive nature.
"Shen Zhuoli is my boyfriend now. You'd better keep your distance from him, otherwise..."
"What else?" Jiang Ruzhen challenged.
"Otherwise, I'll beat you to a pulp. I mean what I say." Fang Tingting looked fierce.
Jiang Ruzhen suppressed a laugh, but raised the corners of her mouth in a mocking smile.
"Look at you, so capable! You even dare to hit someone. Hitting someone will get you jail time, you know that?"
"I'm warning you, Shen Zhuoli is my man, and as long as I'm here, I won't allow anyone to bully him. You especially can't!"
"So what if I bullied him? Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
Jiang Ruzhen playfully poked the eldest brother's shoulder repeatedly, leaving the eldest brother wondering what trick his mother was up to this time.
They could only try to persuade both sides, saying, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, you're all family."
Fang Tingting's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Shen Zhuoli, how could you be so foolish? She treated you like that, and you're still protecting her?"
She reached out and shielded the eldest brother behind her, glaring angrily at Jiang Ruzhen.
“I don’t care what your relationship was before, but you’re a shameless person who’s always getting involved with other men.”
You even deliberately hurt Zhuo Li's feelings time and time again. He was bullied by you because no one cared for him before, and I couldn't control that.
He's my boyfriend now, and I won't allow you to hurt him under any pretext.
Even the title of ex-wife is not acceptable. If you don't leave, I'm calling the police...
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen realized that the girl must have mistaken her for Zhang Meili.
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother told the girl about such an embarrassing thing in such detail. He was truly sincere towards the girl, and the girl was also sincere towards him.
Alright, the test is over, Jiang Ruzhen is very satisfied.
"Boss, why are you just standing there like an idiot? Introduce yourself to us!"
"Um, Xiao Fang, this is my mother, Jiang Ruzhen. Mom! This is my girlfriend, Fang Tingting."
After the eldest brother finished his introduction with a blush, Fang Tingting looked at the two of them in astonishment, her face full of disbelief.
"Zhuo Li, I've already told you I don't care about your past at all, so why do you have to tell such an obvious lie?"
The eldest son was stunned and hurriedly explained, "I didn't lie, she is my mom!"
"What mother? Stepmother? She's only in her twenties, how can she be your mother? Shen Zhuoli, what are you hiding? I've already told you I don't care about your past, and I'm not afraid of your ex-wife coming to my door."
"If you still have feelings for her, then fine, I'll compete with her fairly, okay?"
Tears welled up in Fang Tingting's eyes, making her look both aggrieved and pitiful.
The eldest brother hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and Fang Tingting, disregarding what others thought, immediately threw herself into the eldest brother's arms.
At the same time, he deliberately turned his face to the side and looked at Jiang Ruzhen provocatively.
Jiang Ruzhen was both amused and exasperated. This eldest daughter-in-law could go into acting and play a scheming woman; her singing, recitation, acting, and fighting skills were simply superb.
"Alright, let me introduce myself. I am indeed Shen Zhuoli's mother. It's just that I take good care of myself and look young. I'm forty-one years old this year."
"If you don't believe me, we can go to the factory right now and ask. All the workers there know me."
"Huh?" Fang Tingting looked up at Shen Zhuoli upon hearing this, and Shen Zhuoli nodded with amusement.
She immediately struggled out of Shen Zhuoli's arms and straightened her clothes and stray hairs.
He placed his hands together in front of his lower abdomen and bowed respectfully to Jiang Ruzhen.
"So it really is Auntie. I'm so sorry. It's not my fault for not recognizing you properly; you're just too young. I would believe you if you said you were Zhuo Li's sister."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
What woman doesn't love to hear others compliment her on how young she looks?
Jiang Ruzhen was no exception; she was amused by Fang Tingting and laughed heartily, feeling very happy.
He reached into his bag and took out a platinum bracelet weighing about five grams, handing it to Fang Tingting.
"Nice to meet you. This is a platinum bracelet my friend bought from Hong Kong Island. It would be perfect for young people like you. Here, it's for you!"
"Huh? Platinum? No, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
As the daughter of the mayor, and with her mother being a first-class actress, Fang Tingting naturally had a broad perspective.
Others might not know the price of platinum, but she does!
A few days ago, her mother did an advertisement for a jeweler, and she had asked about the prices of various jewelry items.
Platinum is more expensive than gold, and it has now been speculated to cost 1,000 yuan per gram.
This little bracelet must weigh at least five grams, which means it costs about five thousand yuan.
Aunt Jiang is indeed a big boss; she's incredibly generous.
The eldest brother had never seen Jiang Ruzhen wear this bracelet before and assumed it was a gift from Lu Mingzheng, so he also declined it.
"Mom, is this a gift from Uncle Lu? Even if it's not suitable for you, you shouldn't give it away. Uncle Lu will be heartbroken if he finds out. You should take it back. I'll buy Xiao Fang a gold bracelet instead."
"Gold bracelets are so tacky! This platinum bracelet is much prettier!"
Jiang Ruzhen didn't care about the value of the bracelet at all; in modern times, platinum is not as expensive as gold.
She simply felt that platinum was more suitable for young people, while gold was more suitable for older people, which is why she decided to get a platinum bracelet.
Without a word, she grabbed Fang Tingting's wrist and put the bracelet on her wrist. Looking at it from left to right, the fair and slender wrist sparkled with starlight, truly a sight to behold.
"It's so beautiful! I knew it would suit young people!"
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang," Fang Tingting said shyly.
"You're welcome. I'm especially grateful for your defense of our leader just now. He's suffered a lot and gone through many hardships since he was a child.
I'm so happy to see that he's found such a wonderful person like you. Thank you for defending him earlier; I'm entrusting him to you from now on.
Seeing the tears glistening in Jiang Ruzhen's eyes, Fang Tingting was also moved.
She had heard Shen Zhuoli recount his family's experiences and admired her future mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart, as well as respecting Shen Zhuoli's character.
She nodded emphatically in agreement, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely protect Zhuo Li."
Fang Tingting is an officer in the municipal government's publicity department and has to go back to work.
After everyone left, Jiang Ruzhen and Shen Zhuoli strolled slowly toward the factory.
After a long while, Shen Zhuoli let out a long breath and said with a firm look in his eyes.
"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely live my life well from now on and won't let you worry about me."
“Don’t talk nonsense. You are my son, so I have to worry about you for the rest of my life. But if you can make me worry less, I will thank God.”
Jiang Ruzhen joked in a relaxed tone, and Shen Zhuoli's mood gradually returned to calm.
"Mom, I understand."
Jiang Ruzhen stayed in Yangcheng for two days and found that the boss managed everything in an orderly manner, without her having to lift a finger.
She took the train back to Liancheng and saw Lao Er and Mei Ling inseparable, constantly showing off their affection.
She ate for three days and then suffered from indigestion. Liancheng's business was managed perfectly by the second son.
Neither side really needed her, and Jiang Ruzhen suddenly thought of Lu Mingzheng.
He's been back in Hangzhou for over half a month, and the two of them have only spoken on the phone three times, each time ending after just a few hurried words.
I wonder what this person is busy with.
Jiang Ruzhen happened to be planning to recruit some good brand designers in the south, so she decided to go on a whim.
The next day, Jiang Ruzhen told her second brother, packed a small bag, and boarded the train to Hangzhou.
