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

The hall is decorated with a strong festive atmosphere, especially the huge red Chinese knot, which is very eye-catching.

At this moment, the servants were all busy. Fu Zongze, wearing a red Tang suit, sat in front of the chessboard, fiddling with his black and white chess as usual.

Fu Heng sat upright, wearing a black suit, his tie tied straight, his eyebrows and eyes sharp, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.

Despite his age, his aura is definitely not inferior to that of young people.

Seeing Wei Yutong and Shen Congrong coming in hand in hand, his face darkened twice more, and he stood up and sneered: "At such an old age, you are still holding hands to show your affection. You two are very thick-skinned."

Fu Nanzhou frowned, his face clearly showing displeasure.

Fu Zongze glanced at his son without a good look, "Fu Heng, what are you talking about? Show some manners."

Fu Heng raised his eyebrows and said with disdain, "Does education conflict with telling the truth?"

Although Wei Yutong was gentle, she still didn't like being ridiculed, so she gave Fu Heng a cold look and turned to look at Fu Zongze, "Mr. Fu, Happy New Year."

Shen Congrong also smiled and said, "Happy New Year, uncle. This outfit is really festive and auspicious, and it makes you look even more radiant."

The two juniors spoke, and Fu Zongze smiled indifferently, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Lu Xi was young, and not as good at hiding things as her parents, but she still bowed slightly and was very polite, "Happy New Year, Grandpa Fu, Happy New Year, Uncle, Happy New Year, Second Brother!"

At the moment, Fu Nanzhou's aunts didn't seem to be around, but Lu Xi greeted everyone present, which was considered polite.

But she didn't call him "Grandpa" or "Dad". After all, the Fu family hadn't expressed their attitude to acknowledge her as their daughter-in-law, and she didn't want to rush in.

Fu Zongze hummed, and glanced at Lu Xi's belly with his cloudy eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if she was about to show her pregnancy this month?

But at his age, it is not appropriate for him to stare at a little girl's belly. That would be too disrespectful.

Fu Heng ignored Lu Xi. They had had an unpleasant argument before, and since she was Shen Congrong's daughter, he naturally didn't like her.

Only Fu Xizhou smiled with his thin lips, "Happy New Year, Xiao Jiuer. Since you call me brother, I have to give you a red envelope. Take it."

Without warning, he threw a bulging red envelope into Lu Xi's arms.

Lu Xi was caught off guard and subconsciously reached out to catch it. The red envelope fell into her arms. Judging from its thickness, it should be at least 1.

She quickly said, "Second brother, no need. I'm not a child. Besides, how can peers give each other New Year's money?"

"I held you in my arms when you were two years old. I was already an adult at that time. What's wrong with giving you money? Take it, and don't force your brother to do anything more extreme."

Although Fu Xizhou was smiling, there was a hint of danger in his eyes.

With this man's character, he could do anything, so Lu Xike didn't dare to pester him anymore and just thanked him: "Thank you, second brother."

"Don't be polite with brother, I like it." Fu Xizhou smiled meaningfully.

Lu Xi's face looked bad. This man was really... She clearly called him "Second Brother", but he seemed to automatically hear it as "Brother". He deliberately created ambiguity between them. What a problem!

Fu Nanzhou's face was already quite cold, but after all, he was in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and this year was the New Year, so he did not lose his temper.

Fu Zongze was also dissatisfied with Fu Xizhou. Even if he looked down on Lu Xi as his granddaughter-in-law, she was from Nanzhou, and he would not allow an illegitimate son to get involved!

If Tanya hadn't wanted to raise Fu Xizhou back then, he would never have allowed this illegitimate child to enter the Fu family!

Fu Zongze glanced at Fu Xizhou with sharp eyes, full of warning, but Fu Xizhou made a provocative gesture of wiping his neck!

Faced with his rebellious behavior, Fu Zongze was furious and shouted, "Get out!"

"No!" Fu Xizhou seemed to be deliberately going against him. He said two words and sat back on the sofa to play with his phone.

But the camera was aimed at Wei Yutong, and he took the photo and sent it.

Fu Zongze was so furious that he really wanted to find someone to kick this bastard out!

Pointing at the chessboard angrily, he looked at Lu Xi, "Do you dare to play the next game?"

Lu Xi curled her lips, "You want to play with me?"

"Humph, who should I play with if not you? Everyone in this room is a lousy chess player. I don't like them."

Fu Zongze was not in a good mood. While speaking, he winked at the butler and asked him to put the chessboard back in place.

This is the bay window, and pregnant women will have a sunken belly if they sit here, so the chessboard was moved to the card table.

"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to cry if you lose," Fu Zongze reminded.

Lu Xi muttered softly, "You should cry, because I won last time. And if I win, you have to give me a big red envelope, right?"

"Even if you don't win, when you come to the Fu family to celebrate the New Year, even the little ones will prepare big red envelopes." Fu Zongze snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not forget the proper etiquette.

Lu Xi couldn't help but complain in her heart, how can anyone spend a red envelope? You are just bragging without thinking!

Forget it. He is old and his brain isn't working very well. I won't bother with him.

While playing chess, Lu Xi secretly observed Fu Zongze. After a short while, he felt that the old man was in much worse condition and there was a feeling that he was about to die.

On the other side, Fu Heng suggested: "Play mahjong?"

Shen Congrong laughed, "Okay. I'm usually busy and don't have much time to rest. I'd like to take advantage of the New Year to relax."

Fu Xizhou was not interested in this. Like Fu Nanzhou, he stood behind Lu Xi and watched them play chess.

The atmosphere in the Fu family was quite harmonious. It was not as stagnant as one might have imagined, nor was it as tense as one might have imagined. Everyone seemed to be restraining their tempers and maintaining superficial harmony, and it seemed as if there were no conflicts at all. It was a very subtle feeling.

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and the servant outside shouted: "Old Master, the eldest and second young ladies are back!"

The two daughters of the Fu family have been married for many years and have mostly been abroad. They rarely come back, especially during the Chinese New Year.

Fu Zongze's hand trembled, and the black spot on his fingertips accidentally fell in the wrong place.

He reacted, his eyes widened immediately, and he quickly prepared to pick it up.

Lu Xi was quick to hold his hand, "A true gentleman never regrets his move!"

Fu Zongze frowned coldly, quite unconvinced, "I didn't mean to go here, this is a mistake!"

"I don't care whether it's a mistake or not. Anyway, your chess piece has landed here. It's my turn to move now!"

Lu Xi looked dissatisfied and did not give Fu Zongze any chance to regret.

Fu Zongze suddenly got angry, and the dissatisfaction in his heart instantly swelled.

What a tactless little girl. If she had higher emotional intelligence, she would have fulfilled his wish right now!

If you are so competitive and don't avoid being in the spotlight, you will never achieve great things in the future!

Fu Zongze played the game of chess very well, and he didn't want a single bad apple to spoil the whole barrel. He really wanted to push the chessboard away, but when he thought of his son and grandson who were all around him, he felt it was embarrassing to act like a rogue, so he could only grit his teeth and go on with it.

The ending is self-evident, it is definitely a loss.

When Fu Nanzhou's two aunts came in, Lu Xi had already high-fived Fu Nanzhou and cheered, "Yeah! I won!"

Fu Zongze gnashed his teeth in hatred, "It's just a win, but you can't keep your cool."

Then he turned his gaze toward the door.

Two middle-aged women were in the front, both wearing mink coats and with delicate makeup on their faces. After the servants took off their outer coats, the cheongsams underneath were revealed. They looked dazzled and noble.

Behind them were a middle-aged man, two men and one woman, who should be Fu Zongze's grandsons and granddaughters.
