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

Hearing his father's words, Shen Mo's face instantly became uglier, and his voice was extremely cold, "Dad, what do you mean? You don't want to protect her at this time, do you?"

Shen Congrong frowned, "Why are you so anxious? What can you do without any evidence? Kick him out of the Shen family?

"Even if she is driven out of the Shen family, she will still target Jiuer, just like He Chunye. Instead of that, it is better to keep her under my eyes so that I can always see her every move.

"Also, my intention is not to defend her, but to find evidence and ask Hao Rui about the specific situation."

"Asking Hao Rui would be like alerting the enemy." Shen Mo retorted coldly.

Shen Congrong chuckled, "So, what are you in such a hurry for? It's just like fishing for clams. You just grab them and they will immediately hide in the sand.

"What you can do at this time is to sprinkle salt into the clam's hole and wait for it to slowly emerge. Just showing its head is not enough, because if you try to grab it, it will shrink back immediately.

"You need to give it enough salt, expose at least half of its body, and then grab it at lightning speed, then you can get the clam."

Shen Mo didn't say anything, but he knew what his father meant.

Maybe he was too impatient.

"Don't tell your mother about this yet. She's been emotionally unstable lately and could easily do something bad."

Shen Mo nodded, and originally had no intention of telling his mother.

Lu Xi stayed in the hospital for three days and insisted on being discharged.

Lu Yao was in charge of the stationery store these two days, so after she was discharged from the hospital, she didn't go home but went straight to the stationery store.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw her sister arguing with an old man, and her sister's face turned red.

"No one is so unreasonable as you!"

The old man was not a pushover either. "What's wrong with being unreasonable? You have to compensate me anyway!"

Lu Xi ran over, "Sister, what's going on?"

When Lu Yao saw her, she quickly asked, "Why were you discharged so soon? Are you sure you're okay?"

"It's okay. If there was something wrong, the doctor wouldn't let me leave the hospital. Let's talk business."

Lu Yao then said indignantly: "This old man gave me two red eggs, saying that my daughter-in-law had given birth and asked me to give her a red envelope.

“I thought it was a good thing, so I gave him 10 yuan, but he refused to do it and insisted on paying 500 yuan.

"I said, isn't this robbery? I usually only give 500 yuan to my colleagues when they have children. I have no relationship with him and I don't even know him. Why should I give him 500 yuan?

"The old man was unhappy and smashed the eggs in the store. He also said that I was unlucky and insisted that I compensate him for his mental damages."

Lu Xi also got angry when she heard this, and turned to look at the old man, "No one is as unreasonable as you."

"Aren't you the second daughter of the Shen family? I asked for 500 yuan and you won't give it to me? The Shen family is going bankrupt, and they can't even come up with such a small amount of money?"

"You...I have money and it's mine." He actually knew her identity. He must have come prepared.

"Then I don't care!" The old man stiffened his neck and was arrogant and unreasonable.

Lu Xi said coldly, "I'm pregnant now. If I have a miscarriage, how are you going to compensate me?"

The old man was startled, then impatient, "Forget it, forget it, it's my bad luck, just give me 200."

"I won't give you a penny! You are deliberately blackmailing us, leave now, or I will call the police."

When the old man heard that they were going to call the police, he left cursing.

Lu Yao was really impressed, "There really are all kinds of people."

Lu Xi nodded, "It's okay, don't bother, someone deliberately asked him to cause trouble. By the way, sister, is the store busy these two days?"

"good."

"So you asked for leave, but your boss didn't say anything to you?"

Lu Yao smiled, "I quit."

This news caught Lu Xi off guard. "Why did you suddenly resign? I asked you to resign and work with me before, but you didn't agree."

Lu Yao went over to organize the shelves. "You're pregnant now, so you can't handle it all by yourself. Why don't I come over to help you? Guoguo has just joined the kindergarten-primary school transition program, so it's convenient for me to go back and forth. Besides, I always run into Liang Feng in the company, which feels weird."

"Sister, why are you still thinking about this? Director Liang is such a good person."

"A good person may not necessarily be suitable. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I just don't want to find one now. It's fine for me to be alone with Guoguo." Lu Yao still said the same thing.

Lu Xi pursed her lips, "I know, just be stubborn."

Lu Yao smiled, "Who is as stubborn as you? By the way, your sister, how are you doing recently?"

Lu Xi's face fell, "Why mention her for no reason?"

Lu Yao's heart sank, this must be a bad relationship.

Xixi had just been poisoned. Although it was said that it was done by a dismissed servant of the Shen family, she thought that wealthy families should be just like the deep mansions of the past, where there are more people and more struggles. Her sister was quite smart, but kind, and could not defeat those people.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Lu Yao rubbed her sister's head. "I'll bring food here in the morning. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll prepare it and bring it back in the morning. We won't order takeout."

Lu Xi's heart warmed, "No need, sister, the family will deliver food, and it will be very hard for you to bring food."

Lu Yao wanted to say that it was too troublesome, but before she could say anything, she realized that Xixi was no longer the country girl who had suffered with her, but a daughter of a wealthy family.

At noon, Wei Yutong came personally to deliver lunch.

"Lu Yao is here too?" Wei Yutong smiled gently.

There was some unpleasantness between her and Lu Yao before, but the misunderstanding was resolved. She could also see that this girl was really kind to her daughter, so the grudge in her heart was gone.

Lu Yao was still a little embarrassed, "Mrs. Shen."

"Don't call me Madam Shen anymore. I'll take you as my goddaughter."

The sudden words stunned Lu Yao completely. She was unable to react for a moment and forgot to continue.

Lu Xi hugged Wei Yutong's arm and asked in surprise, "Mom, are you serious?"

"Lu Yao took care of you and brought you up. I really like her. I also plan to adopt Meng Xue as my goddaughter."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why her mother recognized her sister. It was probably related to Sister Meng Xue.

“By the way, baby, go home early tonight because your sister is bringing her boyfriend home.

"Oh, OK, I see." Has Shen Youran and Hao Rui developed so quickly? Have they already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

After that, Wei Yutong left after just a few minutes. When Lu Xi and Lu Yao were having dinner together, they brought up the topic.

"Doesn't your sister like her brother-in-law?"

Lu Xi curled her lips, "Who knows? How can we know what Bai Lianhua is thinking?"

"Who would say that about their sister?" Lu Yao joked.

"She's not my sister."

After replying, Lu Xi sent a WeChat message to her best friend, talking about the matter between Shen Youran and Hao Rui.

Zhuang Yi was also quite surprised. As she was replying to the message, Shen Youran came to the Jiang family carrying some things.

Jiang's mother was surprised and delighted.

"You Ran is here?"

"Aunt Jiang, I brought you two ginsengs. They are said to be thousand-year-old ginsengs."

Jiang's mother was overjoyed. "Look at you, kid. You always think about me."

Shen Youran smiled slightly, "It's just a handy thing. Where's Yizhou? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"I was busy with work, so I just dropped Yiyi off and left. Come on, let's have dinner together..."

When Zhuang Yi saw Shen Youran, she was not happy at all and just gave a fake smile as a greeting.

After the meal started, Jiang's mother quickly picked up some food for Shen Youran, "You have to eat more. Why do you look thinner?"

"I lost weight."

"Why are you losing weight? How thin have you become? Seeing you so thin, your aunt feels bad. Come and have a chicken drumstick. You must eat it, or your aunt will be unhappy."

Shen Youran lowered her head and smiled, "Okay, for my aunt, it's worth it even if I gain two kilograms."

The two of them talked happily, like mother and daughter, or like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a harmonious relationship.

Zhuang Yi, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable at the dinner table. She already had severe pregnancy reactions, and she had no appetite at all when she saw the dishes on the table.

Mother Jiang took a glance and saw Zhuang Yi playing with rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, and she immediately became angry.

"Yiyi, why don't you eat quickly? I made all the food today myself."

"I don't want to eat." Zhuang Yi was not polite.

Jiang's mother was immediately unhappy. She said that she made it herself, so shouldn't she be perfunctory?

Seeing this, Shen Youran quickly eased the atmosphere, "Aunt, your braised chicken thighs are really delicious. Bring me one when I leave."

When Jiang's mother heard this, the unhappiness in her heart instantly disappeared, "Ranran is really good at talking and knows how to make me happy.

"Oh, what a pity. Why didn't you and Yizhou succeed? I always thought of you as my future daughter-in-law, but now..."

With a bang, Zhuang Yi threw the chopsticks away!
