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

The housekeeper rushed over and grabbed the wheelchair. He was horrified and almost scared to death.

Fu Xizhou smiled grimly, "It's just a joke, can I really bear to bury grandpa alive?"

The housekeeper gnashed his teeth. How could the second young master be so unwilling to do that? Looking at his expression, it seemed like he wanted to bury the old man alive right away!

Not daring to take any risks, he quickly pushed the man to a safe place and said angrily, "Old man, we can't go on like this! If this happens again, I'll be scared to death!"

"Hmph, he won't attack me now. He doesn't have the guts." Fu Zongze snorted coldly. Although his health was deteriorating and he no longer had the spirit he once had, he had lived for more than eighty years after all and had experienced many ups and downs. He didn't take such a small matter seriously.

The butler opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Old Master, please let the Third Young Master come back. I really don't know what to do."

Fu Zongze didn't say anything.

That brat always quarrels with him every time he comes back. It would be better for him not to be at home to avoid making him angry.

The housekeeper still refused to give up, "Old Master, tomorrow night is New Year's Day, why don't you let the Third Young Master bring the Third Young Madam back to have dinner together? The Third Young Madam has been pregnant for more than four months, what are you still arguing about?"

Fu Zongze immediately frowned, "Am I being too competitive? Do they take me seriously? That little girl from the Shen family has never come to see me once, right? I am old, do I still have to rush over?

"No need to ask them to come back! They can come back if they want. If Nanzhou doesn't want to acknowledge me as his grandfather, that's fine. I'll just pretend that I don't have this grandson!"

After hearing what Fu Zongze said, the butler was speechless.

The next day was New Year's Day, and Lu Xi and Fu Nanzhou returned to the Shen family to celebrate the New Year together.

The Fu family doesn't celebrate the Gregorian New Year very often, and Fu Zongze has been moody lately. In addition, Fu Heng and Fu Xizhou have been there, so Fu Nanzhou doesn't want to go back.

The family sat in the living room. Shen Congrong, Shen Mo and Fu Nanzhou were all talking about business matters. Lu Xi's company was small and not on the same level, so he couldn't get a word in.

She was chatting with Zhuang Yi and learned that Fu Beibei and Fu Dongzhou had all returned to the Fu family's old house. It seemed that only Fu Nanzhou was missing.

However, Lu Xi pretended not to know about this.

At this time, Shen Mo's phone screen lit up. It was a WeChat message. The other party said: Happy New Year.

Lu Xi's eyes widened instantly. Wasn't that avatar of Hao Mengjie? ! How did her brother have Hao Mengjie's WeChat?

She was about to take out her phone, but Shen Mo was one step ahead of her and picked up the phone, "Dad, Nanzhou, let's go to the study and talk."

Fu Nanzhou and Shen Congrong nodded and stood up.

Lu Xi curled her lips, "He must be playing with crickets or something."

Wei Yutong chuckled, "What can the three of them do? It's nothing more than business. Some business secrets cannot be heard."

"Mom, there is a girl in my brother's phone, she..." Lu Xiyi was so excited that she almost told him about Hao Mengjie.

Wei Yutong chuckled, "I know. Your dad and I went out to eat that day and saw him hugging that girl."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, "Is this true?"

Wei Yutong glared at her, "Of course it's true, how could mom lie to you?"

Lu Xi frowned, "Did you see what the girl looked like?"

I think should not be?

"No, a waiter happened to block it. But from the looks of it, your brother really has a girlfriend. Now your dad and I don't have to worry. We were originally worried that your brother would get stuck in a rut and not rush to get married, or that he liked Xiangjun."

Lu Xi frowned as she listened, feeling something was not right.

His brother is an absolutely pure-hearted person. Apart from Sister Junjun, he seems to have an attitude of "stay away from strangers" towards other women.

If the WeChat in his phone was really Hao Mengjie, and the person he hugged in the restaurant that day was also Hao Mengjie, it must be because Hao Mengjie's identity was quite special. For example... Hao Mengjie was his sister!

But his brother said that Hao Mengjie was not that person, so why would his brother hug her?

So, maybe she had read it wrong, that WeChat was not Hao Mengjie, maybe it was really the girl that her brother liked, then who was it? Was she the owner of the small sachet that her brother put in his book?

She subconsciously picked up the can of hawthorn, but it was taken away before she put it in her mouth.

"mom?"

"Forget that the doctor said your blood sugar is high? Gestational diabetes is no joke. Hawthorn has a high sugar content, and it's canned, so the sugar content is doubled. You are not allowed to eat it." Wei Yutong scolded.

"Oh, I forgot." Lu Xi stuck out her tongue, and acted a little more coquettishly in front of her own mother.

After a while, Shen Mo and Fu Nanzhou came out of the study, and Shen Congrong followed behind them, not knowing what they said.

"Come on, Nanzhou, have a drink?" Shen Congrong was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

Fu Nanzhou smiled back, "Dad, I won't drink anymore. I have to go back with Xixi tonight, so I have to stay awake all the time."

Shen Congrong didn't force it.

The family enjoyed the meal in a relaxed and pleasant manner, with all previous grudges gone.

Fu Nanzhou was grateful for this. After all, if it were an ordinary person, they would probably not treat him, the son-in-law, well, well.

But the Shen family is different.

**

At the same time, on the other side.

Hao Mengjie and Guan Ruolin were also at Bay Villa No. 1, where they cooked a few dishes and celebrated New Year's Day together.

The atmosphere between the "mother and daughter" was a little silent. Guan Ruolin was not a talkative person. What's more, the person in front of her was not her biological daughter at all, but a chess piece that could be used or discarded. Naturally, there was nothing to talk about.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Mom, it's Hao Bohua's family." Hao Mengjie looked at Guan Ruolin.

Guan Ruolin frowned. Why did Hao Bohua come to her house?

After two seconds of silence, she said, "Let them in."

Soon, the servant came in with a family of three.

As expected of Jiangcheng's most prominent wealthy family, whenever Hao Bohua and his family travel, they are surrounded by crowds of people, followed by a bunch of bodyguards and servants, looking very impressive.

"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year." Qin Shiyue spoke with a smile, very enthusiastic.

Hao Bohua also said "Happy New Year", but his face still couldn't hide the calculation and contempt for Guan Ruolin.

The second son, Hao Jiandong, has never been of much use. As the president of the Hao family, he naturally looks down on the second son's family, even though Hao Mengjie is now involved with the Shen family.

Hao Yanan greeted reluctantly, "Second Aunt, Meng Jie."

Guan Ruolin nodded slightly, "Brother and sister-in-law, you came at the right time. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat with us?"

Hao Bohua took a look at the six dishes and one soup in the restaurant, and frowned slightly. "No need. We are picky eaters in my family, and everyone has their own taste."

This is actually a way of complaining about the simplicity of their dishes.

Rich families always have their own preferences, especially the Hao family. While they pay attention to interests, they also pay more attention to enjoyment. They have always lived an extravagant life and are well-known in Jiangcheng.

Guan Ruolin was just being polite at first, but after hearing what Hao Bohua said, she stopped forcing him, "Brother and sister-in-law, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Before Hao Bohua could speak, Qin Shiyue smiled and said, "Nothing, the second brother hasn't come back for so many years, it's rare for you and Xiaojie to come back, so I came to see you."

Hao Bohua was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Shiyue's work efficiency. What was the point of beating around the bush?

After coughing twice, he asked in a deep voice, "How far have Meng Jie and Shen Mo progressed?"
