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

Fu Nanzhou's sharp eyes retracted their sharp coldness, and he said indifferently: "They are all here."

Ji Ran stood up, "Third brother."

Ji Rou also called out sullenly, “Third brother.”

Since Gao Ning's incident, Ji Rou has become much quieter.

Fu Nanzhou nodded and looked at Jiang Yizhou again, "Where is Shaoqing?"

Just as he finished speaking, Pei Shaoqing walked in with a flirtatious step.

"Without Master Pei at the party, who will warm up for you?"

Seeing the bruises on Pei Shaoqing's eyes, everyone couldn't help but look amused. Well, he must have been punished by the babysitter tonight.

Young Master Pei becomes more courageous as he faces more setbacks.

"Brother Pei, what's wrong with your eyes?" Zhuang Yi gloated.

Pei Shaoqing shrugged, "A little wild cat came to my house, and I wanted to pet it, but the kitten was very stubborn and punched me in the eye."

Everyone was so happy, why were they still making up stories?

But no one exposed him, after all, he would definitely not admit it.

"Come on, let's have someone bring some wine. Let's have a couple more drinks." Pei Shaoqing hugged Ji Ran and Jiang Yizhou, while Fu Nanzhou walked over to Lu Xi, peeled a mango candy, and stuffed it into Lu Xi's mouth. "Ding Min said this candy is delicious, so I bought some."

Lu Xi was very obedient. She chewed it and her eyes lit up. "It's delicious."

Fu Nanzhou smiled and said, "I guess you will like it."

Shen Youran leaned forward slightly, "Nanzhou, won't you give me a piece?"

"It's just one dollar, so I must give it to my wife first." Fu Nanzhou chuckled, polite but distant, as if the person who danced with Shen Youran before was not him.

Shen Youran was stunned and did not ask about the title of "wife".

Lu Xi leaned on Fu Nanzhou, her eyes so drowsy that she could hardly open them.

When Fu Nanzhou saw that she had finished chewing, he stuffed another candy into her hand.

Lu Xi was surprised, "Not just..."

"Shh..."

Fu Nanzhou smiled and pressed her pink lips, then held Lu Xi's small hand and asked softly: "Tell your husband, why did you drink today? Did you encounter something unhappy?"

His voice was so low that everyone in the room could hear it.

Pei Shaoqing joked, "Hey, tell your husband? Everyone, listen, Fu Laosan's brushed tone is so tempting."

The others also had a joking look on their faces.

Lu Xi blushed and whispered in his ear: "Fu Nanzhou, don't talk like that."

Fu Nanzhou couldn't help laughing. He knew that she was embarrassed because he called himself her husband, but he still teased her on purpose, "How do you talk?"

Lu Xi continued to chatter: "There are so many people here, aren't you embarrassed?"

Fu Nanzhou shook his head and couldn't help laughing. "Don't be embarrassed. I didn't say anything wrong. I am your husband. If you don't call me that, I will call myself that. What's wrong with that?"

Lu Xi: “…”

cheeky.

"Tell me about it?" Fu Nanzhou just wanted to share her bad mood.

Lu Xi nodded and leaned her head on Fu Nanzhou's shoulder. She was not doing it on purpose for Shen Youran to see, but she was really feeling dizzy and simply wanted to find someone to lean on.

She did not hide anything about her life experience from Fu Nanzhou and confided it to him in a very low voice.

"Even though my parents treated me like that, I never thought that I wasn't really their biological child. The moment I found out, I felt relieved, as if all their cruelty and ruthlessness towards me before became justified. But after I felt relieved, I felt distressed. What about my sister? Can you understand my feelings?"

"Yeah, I understand."

Fu Nanzhou patted her gently, but his heart was already in turmoil.

If that girl named Tao Rui is not her biological mother, then would she be the person Shen Mo is looking for?

Lu Xi talked about his encounter with Tao Rui since he came back from visiting her uncle's grave, and he asked Ding Yu to investigate this woman.

Although she was born in the countryside, she was quite pretty, otherwise she would not have been able to charm He Taihua.

At that time, Tao Rui accidentally had an affair with He Taihua when she was working as a nanny in He Taihua's home.

He Taihua seems to be decent in the business world, but he is very romantic in private. He has seen too many women who took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. Tao Rui, who was still charming but shy and timid at the time, made his eyes light up, and naturally he felt itchy in his heart.

After a long time, the two of them got together and Tao Rui became pregnant. Because she gave birth to a boy, she successfully got promoted.

When Tao Rui got divorced, she had just given birth to a child. Because she was sure that she could become He Taihua's wife, she was eager to get rid of this marriage and didn't want either of her two daughters. It can be seen what a selfish and cruel woman she was.

For so many years, Tao Rui has been hidden at home by He Taihua and has never appeared in public, so Fu Nanzhou never thought that He Taihua’s wife would be Lu Xi’s mother.

No, not the mother.

Fu Nanzhou asked: "Xixi, do you have anything that can prove your identity?"

Lu Xi nodded, "There was a pendant, but my sister's bag was robbed, so the jade pendant was also lost. There was also a diamond hairpin, Lawyer Shen said it was worth one million."

Shen Youran, who was standing by, was holding the wine glass elegantly. When she heard these words, her hands trembled violently and her heart began to beat wildly.

Diamond hairpin?!

There is more than just the Guanyin pendant that grandma gave me?!

No, she was five years older than Lu Xi. She was seven years old when Lu Xi was lost. She could clearly remember that Lu Xi was wearing a pink princess dress. Because it was summer, she didn't wear a bracelet or a longevity lock.

Lu Xi only wore the Guanyin pendant because her grandmother insisted on giving it to her.

Shen Youran pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Lu Xi, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard you mention the jade pendant? Do you think it's this?"

Shen Youran took out the Guanyin pendant from her bag and handed it to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi looked at it, shook her head and said, "No."

If this was in the wooden box, she should have remembered it.

This Guanyin pendant is warm green and crystal clear, and it is extremely valuable at first glance. If there is such a shining thing, there is no way she could not see it.

Shen Youran's eyes dimmed, "What a pity."

Fu Nanzhou's eyes flickered, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see."

"Okay." Shen Youran handed the jade pendant to Fu Nanzhou's palm. When her fingers left, they touched Fu Nanzhou's cold and slightly cool fingertips, and her heart began to beat.

Fu Nanzhou took a picture with his mobile phone, then looked at Shen Youran, "Where did this come from?"

"My sister's." Shen Youran said in a muffled voice.

Lu Xi was a little surprised, "Miss Shen has a younger sister?"

Fu Nanzhou was also a little surprised. Besides Shen Mo and Shen Youran, there was another girl in the Shen family?

Shen Youran nodded. "Yes, her nickname is Jiuer, and her full name is Shen Pingyao. My grandfather gave her the name. Ping means weak and graceful, while Yao means beautiful jade, which means she is strong and flawless. Unfortunately, when she was two years old, my brother was watching her and she was taken away by a bad guy. This Guanyin pendant was given to her by my grandmother. I can still remember what she said at that time."

Shen Youran seemed to be lost in memories, her eyes becoming blurry. "My grandma said at the time, oh, my Jiuer is here again. Grandma loves Jiuer the most. When she sees my little princess, she wants to hug her and kiss her. Come, come, come, grandma likes her.

"My sister could speak at that time. Her eyes were like black gemstones, big and bright, crystal clear, without a speck of dust. She called me grandma in a sweet voice. Not to mention grandma, even I liked her very much at that time. What a pity..."

Having said this, Shen Youran lowered her head, and two tears silently fell on the Guanyin pendant in her hand.

When Lu Xi saw Shen Youran crying, she immediately handed her a tissue.

Shen Youran put away the Guanyin Pendant, and her whole body was shrouded in sadness. "I miss Jiuer so much. Although I know she must be dead, but..."

Lu Xi felt upset and asked Fu Nanzhou in a low voice, "I shouldn't have mentioned that."

"It's none of your business. She just remembered her sister herself."

After Fu Nanzhou finished speaking, he took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and sent the photo he had just taken to Shen Mo.

——Have you seen it?
