Li Qian is as domineering and unreasonable as ever.

Lu Yao immediately raised her voice, "Mom! You can't ignore Xixi just because Li Gang is your nephew?!"

"How dare you say that?! You are a member of our family once you marry into our Li family, stop trying to get out of my way! If Lu Xi marries Li Gang, she will still be a member of our family, otherwise she will be an outsider, how can I control her life or death?! If you say that again, get out of our family too!"

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone. Lu Xi became anxious and held the phone tightly with both hands, "Don't bully my sister!"

Li Qian snatched the phone away, "Lu Xi, let me tell you, you've been eating and drinking for free at our house for ten years, don't be ungrateful!

"Think it over carefully. If I ask Anan to divorce your sister, she will be married for the second time and have a child. She is already in her thirties and has such a low level of education. Do you think anyone will still want her?!"

Lu Xi's eyes were red.

My sister's mother-in-law spoke so harshly, belittling my sister as if she were worthless. If it weren't for her, my sister would have been able to get into a good university!

"I won't tell you. I want to find my sister." Lu Xi cried, feeling sorry for her sister.

Lu Yao took it and said, "Xixi, I'll call you later."

Then the call was disconnected.

Lu Xi immediately stood up and ran out. She was afraid that her sister would be alone and helpless in her husband's house.

"Where are you going?" Fu Nanzhou happened to be downstairs. Seeing Lu Xi in a panic, he couldn't help but frown and asked.

Lu Xi blinked her big watery eyes and pleaded, "Uncle Fu, can you take me to my sister's house?"

"What's wrong?" Fu Nanzhou put down the thermos.

Lu Xi lowered her head. "My sister had a quarrel with her mother-in-law. I am worried about her being alone."

Fu Nanzhou stretched out his slender hand, lifted her small chin with his fingers, and looked at her with a calm and cold gaze, "Can you win the argument if you go there?"

Lu Xi was stunned and shook her head, "But what if she hits my sister? Li Qian has already hit her before.

“My brother-in-law was not at home that day, and Li Qian slapped my sister because she spoke for me.

"When my brother-in-law came back, Li Qian complained first, saying that my sister pushed her and caused her to break her coccyx.

“Fortunately, I explained it clearly for my sister, and my brother-in-law didn’t believe him, but he did say a few words to my sister.

"After that, Li Qian pretended to be sick and stayed in bed for three months. Every day, she ordered my sister to bring her food and water, and to take care of her excrement and urine."

Fu Nanzhou frowned when he heard this. He didn't want to listen to all this chaos, but Lu Xi kept telling her story in a wronged manner, with tears falling like beads, and he didn't have the heart to interrupt her.

After Lu Xi finished speaking, he asked coldly: "Can you help fight? Are you strong in fighting? Can you fight like Yiyi?"

Lu Xi lowered her head, her tone noticeably weaker, "No."

"So what's the point of you going? It was originally just a conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Your brother-in-law was mediating and it could have been resolved in a few words. But when you went, it escalated into a conflict between your parents' family and your husband's family. You're just adding fuel to the fire."

Fu Nanzhou hit the nail on the head. After he finished speaking, he went back to the kitchen, picked up the thermos and went upstairs.

He has work to do and can't waste time on these unimportant things.

Lu Xi said nothing, as if what Fu Nanzhou said was indeed true, but she couldn't just watch her sister being bullied by her mother-in-law.

Fu Nanzhou's long legs stepped onto the stairs, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the little girl standing there, all alone and looking a little pitiful.

"Lu Xi, come here." Fu Nanzhou waved his hand.

Lu Xi walked over, raised her fair little face and looked at him, as if waiting for instructions.

Fu Nanzhou discovered that this girl was exceptionally clean, with skin as clear as jade and a pair of bright black eyes like an innocent little deer. In addition, she pursed her pink lips nervously, which could really arouse a man's desire to protect her.

So much like her.

Fu Nanzhou sighed slightly and asked in a compromising manner: "Do you really want to go back?"

Lu Xi nodded heavily, "I do."

Fu Nanzhou didn't say anything, but continued to look at the girl in front of him with a deep gaze.

He doesn't like to get involved in other people's affairs, especially the messy family conflicts in other people's families. Just thinking about it is more of a headache than boring financial statements.

But he couldn't say no.

The little girl in front of me is already 22 years old, not young anymore, but the tears in her eyes make me feel so pitiful that I can't bear to refuse her.

In the end, Fu Nanzhou broke his vow.

With a helpless laugh, Fu Nanzhou said, "Wait for me outside. I'll change my clothes."

Jixiang Ruyi Community, Building 18, Unit 603, Room .

Lu Xi could hear Li Qian's sharp voice from the doorway.

"Lu Yao, I'm telling you, you should quickly ask Lu Xi to close the case, or you and An Nan will get divorced! Don't make me angry at home!"

Lu Yao said patiently, "Mom, you can't be so unreasonable. Xixi called the police because she was bullied."

"Nonsense! He's my own nephew, how could I not know that?! He's not the kind of person who would bully others!"

"Lu Yao, when you married Anan, you met Li Gang. How could their family compare to mine?

"But now he runs his own business, has two cars, three houses, and over a million in savings. How could he not have some connections?

"Let me tell you again, Li Gang is a retired soldier, and he has many comrades. If Xixi passes the civil service exam in the future, won't the benefits be better than working in a company? And it's a stable job, and the pension is high."

Lu Yao was silent.

"You guys just want Lu Xi to suffer, and don't consider my painstaking efforts at all. Such conditions can't be found anymore! You should quickly let Xixi release the person first, and then match them up. Will Xixi still have to worry about the rest of her life?"

Li Qian continued to lobby.

Lu Yao was silent again.

After a while, Lu Yao whispered, "I understand. I'll talk to Xixi and ask her to drop the case."

"That's right, Lu Xi listens to you the most, and you listen to mom the most. You are a good daughter-in-law." Li Qian smiled happily.

Lu Xi didn't knock on the door, but kept listening outside. The lights in the corridor went out, but she didn't stamp her feet, but just stood in the darkness.

Fu Nanzhou patted the back of her head, meaning: Let's go.

Lu Xi followed Fu Nanzhou's tall body, feeling indescribable feelings in her heart.

As soon as the two got off the elevator, Lu Yao called.

"Xixi, you should drop the case involving Li Gang. You are fine anyway. We are all family and we will see each other sooner or later. It is not good to make things too awkward."

Lu Xi said without emotion, "I understand."

"Well, I won't tell you anymore. Stay well at Uncle Yiyi's house. You will go to work tomorrow. Don't cause trouble for your brother-in-law."

Lu Xi didn't reply and just hung up.

Fu Nanzhou looked at her and asked, "Do you want to close the case?"

"Yeah." Lu Xi nodded.

Fu Nanzhou didn't care and called someone to release Li Gang.

After getting in the car, he found Lu Xi sitting still. Fu Nanzhou turned sideways, and his strong masculine aura instantly enveloped Lu Xi.

Lu Xi was startled and stuttered nervously, "Uncle Fu!"

Fu Nanzhou pulled the seat belt over and buckled it for her, and reminded her lightly, "Remember to wear a seat belt when you sit in the passenger seat next time. You will be deducted points if you are photographed."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm sorry." Lu Xi's face was red and her scalp was still numb.

Fu Nanzhou started the car and spoke casually, "From what your sister said, it seems that she is planning to have you go on a blind date with Li Gang. What do you think? Invite them to come to our house for dinner?"
