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

"Hahahahahahahaha, how can this be a bad idea? It's obviously a good idea that kills two birds with one stone, right? Just tell me whether you will scream or not!" Pei Shaoqing had a gloating look on his face and somewhat deserved a beating.

He is very different from Fu Nanzhou. He is just an unlucky second-generation rich man. No matter what etiquette and family education he has, Fu Nanzhou has attached great importance to education since he was a child. People like him tend to worry too much when doing things and always want to take everything into consideration, but in fact they only add to their own troubles.

To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of mental exhaustion.

Unlike him, he mainly cares about his own freedom. Does the life and death of others have anything to do with him?

Of course, Qin Xiaoru is an exception.

Fu Nanzhou tightened his jawline and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pei, brother!"

"Hey!" Pei Shaoqing laughed, "Okay, okay, the heir of the Fu family has spoken, so there must be no problem. Come on, Brother Pei will tell you."

He put his arm around Fu Nanzhou's shoulders and said, "Do you know there is a dish called Northeastern Iron Pot Stew?"

Fu Nanzhou frowned immediately, "What?"

"It's stewed in an iron pot. It's just this big iron pot, with chicken, goose, spare ribs, fish, some dried beans, eggplant, potato noodles, etc., and yellow pancakes on the side. Cover the pot and it will simmer. The meat is stewed and the pancakes are cooked. It smells delicious."

Pei Shaoqing gestured the size of the iron pot as he spoke, and then added: "I'm getting hungry just talking about this. Snowy days are the best time to eat goose stewed in an iron pot. Qin Xiaoru took me there last year. We both sat cross-legged on the kang. It was so delicious."

Fu Nanzhou rubbed his temple speechlessly, "If you want to eat, I'll have someone arrange it for you."

Pei Shaoqing's saliva was about to flow down if he continued talking.

Pei Shaoqing smiled, "Don't worry, let's talk business first."

Fu Nanzhou was about to say "It's rare that you still remember business", but before he could say it, he heard Pei Shaoqing say again: "Let's go to the Fu family for the New Year. It'll be lively and exciting. Invite your mother-in-law and her family, and bring Brother Jiang and his family, as well as my family, the Ji family, and the Hao family. Oh, and invite your grandfather and your cousin Xiangjun too. Let's have a big hodgepodge and stew everything in one pot. Hahahahaha, it's exciting just thinking about it."

Fu Nanzhou immediately understood the meaning of these words, and a sharp cold light suddenly flashed in his black eyes, "It was indeed a bad idea that I made a mistake on."

Pei Shaoqing was a little proud, "That's right, your calling me Brother Pei is really worth it."

Fu Nanzhou snorted and laughed, "I'm afraid it's not just for me. Hao Mengyan is urging me to get married, right?"

Hao Mengyan, the second daughter of the Hao family, is the marriage partner that Pei Shaoqing has always disliked but has not been able to resolve.

Pei Shaoqing's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "You guessed it right. Recently, Hao Bohua and Qin Shiyue stayed in Beijing and never went back. I heard that the old man of the Hao family issued an ultimatum that Hao Mengyan and my marriage can't be delayed any longer. Let them return to Jiangcheng after the couple finalizes it."

Fu Nanzhou patted Pei Shaoqing on the shoulder and said, "I wish you success."

He would not interfere in Pei Shaoqing's affairs. If the engagement could be easily resolved, it would not have been dragged on for so many years. He was just afraid that it would not go smoothly.

However, what he cares more about now is Gao Ning. Gao Ning changed her appearance and wanted to return to the Shen family as Hao Mengjie. It would be better to take advantage of her and help her.

He wanted to see what Gao Ning and Guan Ruolin were trying to do.

**

In the blink of an eye, it is the first day of New Year’s Eve.

Lu Xi went back to the Shen family specially.

Even the wealthy and powerful usually live a life of luxury, but before the New Year, they still have to spend lavishly on buying New Year's goods.

As soon as Lu Xi returned home, her family members started bringing out delicious food.

"Jiuer, open your mouth and eat two pistachios." Wei Yutong stuffed the pistachio kernels into her daughter's mouth.

She could have bought kernels, but she heard that without the skin she couldn't tell whether it was a yellow shell or a white shell, and had no way of confirming whether it had been bleached with sulfur, so she asked someone to prepare the kernels with shells, and they had to be colorless and pollution-free.

Shen Congrong was peeling a pomelo and he had to peel it into a flower shape, so he was sweating in a hurry.

Shen Mo sat on the side peeling a pomegranate, and the three members of the family were serving the little princess.

Lu Xi's face was rounder than before. She held her face and twisted her body cutely, "I'm so happy."

Wei Yutong smiled, "Is this considered happiness? There is still a long way to go. As long as you come home, every day will be like this."

Lu Xixin said, there is still a long way to go in the future, what if Shen Pingting comes back?

But she didn't say anything to spoil the mood at such a warm moment.

"By the way, Jiuer, are you really planning to celebrate the New Year with so many families together tomorrow?" Shen Congrong actually didn't want to go. The New Year is a day for family reunion and joy. When several wealthy families get together, commercial interests are inevitably involved, and the flavor of the New Year is lost.

Lu Xi thought for a moment, "Fu Nanzhou said he would listen to me. However, his aunt has come back to see me, and it would not be good if I don't go to celebrate the New Year."

The most important thing is Rosamund Kwan.

She was like being possessed by a ghost and always felt that Guan Ruolin was Tan Jing. This was a good opportunity to verify it.

Lu Xi had thought about getting Guan Ruolin's sample, but Guan Ruolin was very introverted. She was a very cautious person and had mysophobia. Finding hair or nails with hair follicles was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Well, it's better to go." Wei Yutong also agreed, "It's just right for you to see how the Fu family treats you. It doesn't count as our family not giving you face."

At the same time, Fu Nanzhou also returned to the old house early.

When Fu Zongze heard that he was spending the New Year at home, his expression finally eased a little.

"Hmph, you still have some conscience. Where's your wife? Why are you still holding her in front of me?" Thinking of Lu Xi, Fu Zongze became furious.

"Lu Xi will come tomorrow. And my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Fu Zongze felt relieved and finally satisfied, "That's right. Butler, go and give the order. Prepare a more sumptuous meal tomorrow."

"Yes." The butler left with a smile.

Fu Heng also stood up immediately, with a look of nervousness on his face.

Wei Yutong is coming!

He must prepare well and must not be outdone!

He immediately arranged for a full body spa.

Fu Xizhou taunted, "If you don't know, you would think you are going to meet Queen Elizabeth. It turns out that only Wei Yutong is your true love. Other women are nothing but farts. They only make a noise but have no smell."

Fu Heng sneered sinisterly, "Do you think I still love her? I just want her to regret it and let her know how blind she was to cheat on me! A man is a young man until he dies, and I have that desire to win."

Fu Xizhou sneered, "I didn't see your desire to win, I only saw you stealing durian and refusing to admit it when you were caught, insisting that you ate shit."

"You..." Fu Heng was applying a facial mask and didn't dare to make any big expressions. He could only try his best to endure it.

The next day, Lu Xi and his family arrived at the Fu family in the afternoon.

The mansion had long been decorated with red lanterns, and the green plants were hung with colorful lights and golden lace. Because of a heavy snowfall last night, the entire manor was magnificent and dazzling.

As soon as Lu Xi got out of the car, she saw Fu Nanzhou standing at the door.

He was wearing a black suit, with a tall and straight figure, and his handsome face looked even more charming in the sun.

Fu Nanzhou stepped forward to open the door for Lu Xi, helped her get out of the car, and called politely, "Mom, Dad, Brother."

The couple nodded. Although they were dissatisfied with the Fu family, they did not find fault with their son-in-law.

"Nanzhou, why don't you wear more clothes?" Wei Yutong frowned slightly. Although her tone was blaming, it expressed her concern for her son-in-law.

Fu Nanzhou chuckled, "Mom, it's okay, I'm strong and I didn't stand for long, I'm not cold."

Although he said so, when Lu Xi held his hand, she could clearly feel the coldness of his fingers. This was not something that could happen after standing for just one or two minutes.

Lu Xi whispered in his ear, "Even if you want to show off in front of my parents, you have to keep warm. What if you catch a cold and infect me and the child?"

"I just stood there for a short while. It was already an unpleasant situation, and if I didn't come out to greet them, I felt that my parents might feel uncomfortable."

Fu Nanzhou's explanation made Lu Xi's heart warm slightly, because she could clearly feel how much Fu Nanzhou cared about her parents.

Afterwards, the group walked into the Fu family’s gate together.
