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

Lu Yao still took out the hairpin forcefully, "Mom, I'll take a picture of you and you can take it to ask, but I have to return this thing to Xixi."

Tao Rui was furious and immediately reached out to grab it, but Lu Yao held on tightly and refused to let go. Tao Rui was so angry that she slapped Lu Yao in the face, "Don't ruin my business!"

Lu Yao's eyes widened, "Mom!"

Lu Yao had been beaten a lot since she was little, so she wasn't shocked. But sixteen years had passed, and she was married and had children. Why did her mother still beat her like this? !

Tao Rui suppressed the anger in her heart and waved her hands irritably, "Alright, alright, I don't want the photos anymore! I'm too lazy to care about this crap."

After she finished speaking, she drove away without saying “I’m sorry” or “Mom didn’t mean it”, let alone asking “Dear, did I hurt you?” Lu Yao once again witnessed her mother’s coldness and ruthlessness towards her.

She lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She didn't feel bad. There was nothing to feel bad about. She was already in her thirties and was no longer at the age where she wanted to act like a spoiled child with her mother. To her, none of it mattered.

But Xixi is different. She is only twenty-two and still a child who has not grown up. She can go back to her biological mother.

Lu Yao calmed down and walked towards Lu Xi.

Lu Xi held the swing tightly. She just saw Tao Rui beat her sister!

When she was about to go over, she saw Lu Yao coming over. She tensed her face again, sat back on the swing, and turned her face to the other side.

"I'll return the hairpin to you." Lu Yao's face was tense and her voice was hoarse and muffled.

Lu Xi's breathing stagnated, and she bit her lip before turning her head and muttering unhappily, "Didn't you say it was lost?"

"I've already lost one of your pendants, how could I lose this one too?" Lu Yao was in a very low mood and spoke weakly.

Lu Xi realized that she had misunderstood her sister and said in a muffled voice: "Then why did you say it was lost?"

"If you didn't tell me I was lost, how would I know that's how you felt about me? You said you didn't blame me, but you actually hated me in your heart." Lu Yao was also angry, so her words were inevitably sarcastic.

Lu Xi bit her lip, knowing that her sister was angry, but she didn't want to apologize, so she put the hairpin away and left.

Lu Yao's eyes were a little red. How could she not feel aggrieved?

Ever since she brought Lu Xi to their home, she has always treated Lu Xi as her own sister. Even when Lu Xi was thrown into a cemetery, it was she who found her.

When her parents divorced, she could have given up Lu Xi and ignored her, but she couldn't bear to do so and insisted on leaving her as a little girl with a child.

Perhaps in her heart, she is no longer just Xixi's sister, she has put herself more in the role of "an elder sister is like a mother".

So when Lu Xi said that to her, Lu Yao felt very aggrieved and felt that she had wasted all these years.

But Lu Yao also knew that she was wrong.

She just wanted to comfort her sister, but she felt upset and wanted her sister to pay attention to the slap mark on her face.

Lu Xi came out of Poly International, scanned a shared electric car, and went to the nearby market.

While scanning the code, she was still thinking that she had to take time to get a driver's license. Once the stationery store opened, it would definitely be more convenient to have her own car.

She went to the market and bought two melons, a head of lettuce and a handful of chili peppers, preparing to go back and make a fat-reducing meal.

But just as he came out, he was hit hard on the back of his head. Then his eyes went black, his body went limp, and he completely lost consciousness.

When Lu Xi woke up, she was tied up and found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Lu Xi looked around with a pale face. This place was quite remote, as if there was no village in front and no shop behind.

Her scalp went numb instantly, and fear instantly consumed her. She was just a little girl, and was kidnapped in the middle of the night in such a remote place. She didn't dare to think about what might happen!

At this moment, the car lights came on with a "swish", and the dazzling light hit Lu Xi's face. She subconsciously closed her eyes, then slightly opened her eyes, trying to adapt to the light.

Then, a man in a black vest and black trousers got out of the car. He respectfully opened the door, and a pair of leather shoes fell to the ground first.

Lu Xi looked up along the pair of feet in horror, her pupils instantly dilated. It was He Taihua!

The man Tao Rui married for the second time is He Xinxin’s father!

Lu Xi suddenly felt his back getting even colder!

Who is He Taihua?! She is the chairman of Taihua Group, the boss of a large company. It would be too easy for her, a commoner, to disappear.

He Taihua is almost sixty years old this year, but he has been working in the business world for many years and gives people a strong sense of oppression.

When he came to Lu Xi, he looked down at her with a gloomy look in his eyes, but his tone was very critical, "You didn't expect me to bring you here, did you? Little girl, you really shouldn't have been so arrogant yesterday. No matter how wrong my daughter was, she was raised by me since she was a child. You actually dared to hit her. As a father, I feel very distressed."

At this point, He Taihua squatted down and raised his finger: "I will give you two choices. One is to kneel down and apologize to my daughter in public, and the other is that I will find someone to destroy you today. You should know which is more important."

Lu Xi looked at He Taihua in fear, her body trembling and her teeth chattering, "It's He Xinxin who is wrong. I just did what I should do. Your daughter did something wrong, but you let the victim bear the consequences. Why?"

He Taihua snorted, "Just because she has a loving and capable father, you can blame yourself for your bad luck. I checked you out. You were born in the countryside. No one wanted you after your parents divorced, and you've had a hard time these years. So, little girl, if you have a bad fate, you have to accept it and compromise. I don't want to embarrass you, but you hurt my daughter yesterday, so you have to pay the price!"

He Taihua's words sound high-sounding and obviously unreasonable, but they are all cruel facts!

Lu Xi was angry and aggrieved. She stared stubbornly with her misty and scarlet eyes, refusing to lower her head.

She asked He Taihua, just because I don’t have a father who loves me, just because you are rich and powerful, you can bully others?

But she knew that this world was so cruel that even if she asked, the answer would definitely be yes. Asking would only bring humiliation upon herself!

"Have you thought about it? I'm very busy and don't have extra time to waste with you. Please don't make it difficult for me."

He Taihua spoke indifferently, without much threat in his voice, but his eyes were like knives, carrying a chilling coldness.

Lu Xi didn't want to choose any of them because she was right!

But her cell phone was taken away, and her hands were tied. Even if her cell phone was there, she couldn't get help in a short time!

Suddenly, Lu Xi's body trembled and her heart began to beat wildly because the phone watch on her wrist was vibrating!

Fortunately, Lu Xi's hands were tied behind her back, and the vibration of the watch was very weak. She swiped the watch screen almost immediately and shouted: "He Taihua, do you think you can do whatever you want by tying me here? My husband will find this place!"

He Taihua raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you know where this is? This is Xiaohei Mountain. Not far from here is the cemetery. There are not many people living here. How could your husband think that I was here?! And I don't believe that a young girl like you would have a husband."

On the other end of the phone, Fu Nanzhou felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and suddenly stood up from the sofa.

He Taihua kidnapped Lu Xi? !
