To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

But Lu Xi didn't knock on the door, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Fu Nanzhou followed her slowly with his long legs, and asked calmly after returning to the car, "Why didn't you go in just now?"

Lu Xi lowered her head and twisted her fingers, mumbling, "What are you going to say when you go in? Are you going to fight with my sister?

“My sister was also unaware of this, she was instigated by her mother-in-law.

"If I go to fight with Li Qian, my sister will be caught in the middle. If my sister helps me, my brother-in-law will definitely side with her mother. What should I do if the couple fights?

"My sister has sacrificed so much for me. She loves my brother-in-law so much. I don't want her to fall out with my brother-in-law's family because of me."

But Lu Xi still felt uncomfortable. If her sister had told her directly at that time, perhaps this would not have happened.

Besides, my sister has been working as an accountant for so many years, doesn’t she know the importance of signing and fingerprinting?

Even photocopies of your ID card cannot be given to others casually, let alone requiring signatures and fingerprints.

Another point, what was written in the letter of guarantee? When did she ask Li Gang for money, and when did she threaten to make a big fuss?

What made Lu Xi even more uncomfortable was that she might go to jail, and she was still afraid.

"Want to cry?"

Before Fu Nanzhou finished speaking, he realized that Lu Xi was already crying.

The little girl lowered her head, tears falling down her face and silently seeping into her skirt.

Fu Nanzhou's eyes trembled, and he took out a tissue and gave it to her, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry."

"I'm afraid of dirtying Mr. Fu's car."

"It's okay." Fu Nanzhou felt a little distressed. Even crying required so much consideration. How tiring must this girl's life be in that family?

Lu Xi pursed her lips in grievance, but she did not cry wildly. As her shoulders twitched, tears rolled down her collagen-filled cheeks like beads that had broken off the string, and gathered at her small chin.

She wiped her chin with her hand and asked with a sob, "Mr. Fu, do you know how many years I will be sentenced to? I'm scared."

Fu Nanzhou's throat tightened.

He is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but he has to take care of Lu Xi's affairs.

Fu Nanzhou took out a soft towel and gently wiped Lu Xi's tears. "Okay, stop crying. I'm here, and you won't go to jail."

Lu Xi twitched again, "But what can you do?"

"If I say you're fine, then you're definitely fine. You have to believe that your husband has the ability to protect his wife."

Lu Xi was stunned. If Mr. Fu hadn't told her, she would have forgotten that they were husband and wife.

When they returned to Fu Nanzhou's Longhu Villa, Zhuang Yi was already waiting at the door. As soon as they met, she gave Lu Xi a hug.

"Are you scared? Don't be afraid, don't worry about the case. My uncle is here. He won't let you go to jail."

Lu Xi said "hmm", hugged Zhuang Yi, put her chin on Zhuang Yi's shoulder, and felt supported.

On the other hand, because her daughter Guoguo was still in the hospital, Lu Yao had a quarrel with her mother-in-law Li Qian and went to the hospital to replace her father-in-law.

After Lu Yao left, Li Qian felt guilty and quickly made some braised swimming crabs to appease Chen Nan.

"Son, eat something first, don't get upset."

Che Nan couldn't control his anger and kicked over the chair in front of him with a "bang". Li Qian was so scared that she screamed "ouch" and almost fell to the ground.

Li Qian's nose suddenly felt sore. "You got married and forgot about your mother, right? Is it necessary to get so angry? I'm your mother. Did I raise you to this age just for you to get angry with me?!"

Che Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Do I have to pay you back? Do you know how many years of imprisonment are there for extortion?!"

Li Qian shook her head and groaned, "He can still be sentenced to three or two years. Didn't the money get paid back? I estimate it will only take three or two months.

"I'm telling you, Che Nan, you are not allowed to use money or connections to get Lu Xi out. Our family has no money left, and Lu Xi won't die if she stays in there for a few months."

Li Qian felt uncomfortable when she mentioned this. One million was gone just like that.

Che Nan slapped the table, "One million is a huge amount, the sentence should be more than ten years! Even if returning the stolen money can reduce the sentence, it will be several years! If this is traced back to you, what will you do?! I ask you, what will you do?!"

Che Nan’s roar was deafening. Li Qian’s eyes widened instantly, unable to blink, and her whole body trembled.

"Ten, ten years?! No way??! It's just about money... How can it take ten years? If it takes me ten years... It's over..."

Li Qian's speech was incoherent, her tears were uncontrollable, and she collapsed to the ground in the middle of her words.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became so heavy that it made people feel breathless.

Li Qian cried and said, "Son, what should I do? Mom doesn't want to go to jail."

Che Nan gritted his teeth and helped Li Qian up. His chest heaved. He angrily said, "You're crying now? Crying is useless! Just pray that they don't find out about you!"

Li Qian shook her head, "No, son. What if they find out? Mom can't go to jail. If I really go to jail, I'll be skinned alive. Wouldn't that cost me my life?"

Che Nan yelled angrily: "What can I do? Blackmailing Li Gang, you are so smart."

Li Qian cried aggrievedly, "But you can't blame me for this. As soon as Li Gang apologized, I was obsessed with the 660,000 yuan betrothal gift. As soon as Li Gang agreed, I thought the more the better, so I asked for one million. I didn't expect Li Gang to pretend to agree and then turn around and bite me back."

After Li Qian finished speaking, she clenched her hands together, sweating profusely, and walked around the room in circles, her heart pounding.

Suddenly, she grabbed Che Nan's hand and said, "Son, please comfort Lu Yao and let her take care of all this. If anything happens to Lu Xi, Lu Yao will be very worried. She will never let Lu Xi go to jail."

Che Nan gritted his teeth, "Lu Yao is Guoguo's mother, what will happen to Guoguo if she goes in?!"

"Then Lu Yao going in is better than mom going in, right?! If Lu Yao goes in, won't we still have Lu Xi? She is Guoguo's aunt, can she still ignore Guoguo?"

Che Nan's thoughts were indeed moved. If Lu Xi wanted to take care of Guo Guo, she would have to move back home. Then he would have a chance...

Seeing her son's attitude soften, Li Qian continued, "Lu Xi is pretty, and she's a college student, and a virgin. When the time comes, you marry her, and Mom will take Guo Guo away. It'll just be the two of you. Then give me a grandson, and our Che family will have an heir."

No one knows a child better than his mother. Li Qian had a hold on Che Nan. Her words made Che Nan itchy and he immediately decided to let Lu Yao take charge of everything, which would be good for everyone.

hospital.

Chen Nan put the swimming crab and rice on the table.

Lu Yao just glanced at him without saying anything, and continued to peel oranges for her daughter.

Che Nan sat next to him and said, “Wife, I’ve thought about it, you put all the blame on me.

"Just say I forced you to write the letter of guarantee, and then take it to Lu Xi to stamp her fingerprints."

"Anan?" Lu Yao was a little shocked.

Che Nan took Lu Yao's hand and smiled bitterly, "I know you care about Xixi, and you will definitely tell her the truth. Our mother is old and can't endure hardships. I am a man, and I won't die from spending a few years in jail."

"But honey, I won't be able to find a good job when I get out. Can you please stop looking down on me? I'm so afraid you won't want me."

Li Qian suddenly rushed in, her voice breaking with anxiety, "Anan, you can't do this, is this a job you can find easily?

"You are not like Lu Yao. She has never been to college and her job is not as respectable as yours. If you don't have a job, what will Guoguo do with her schooling?"

At this point, Li Qian suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Yao, "Lu Yao, Mom is begging you, just say that you blackmailed Li Gang and wanted to use the money to buy a school district house, okay? I'll show you Guoguo and wait for you to come out."

"Mom!" Che Nan was horrified. "How can I let Yaoyao take the blame? She has suffered enough. I would rather go to jail myself than let Yaoyao go."

He started crying as he spoke.

It was the first time Lu Yao saw her husband cry, and the pain in his eyes pierced her heart like a knife.

All her luck in life was used up in meeting her husband.

The mother-in-law is right. Compared to having her husband take the blame, it will cost the least for her to go.

She glanced at her daughter reluctantly, then thought of her sister Lu Xi. She was silent for a long time and made a decision.

"Anan, I...I will turn myself in tomorrow." Lu Yao said bitterly.

Che Nan cried and shook his head, "No, Yaoyao, I can't watch you suffer."

"Just hearing your words is enough to prove that I didn't marry the wrong person." Lu Yao burst into tears.

Li Qian also started crying. The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, but only Lu Yao was really crying. The other two were just pretending.

The next day, Lu Yao made arrangements for Guoguo without discussing it with Lu Xi or even saying a word.
