Fu Nanzhou frowned hard, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before, "Why didn't I tell you? Because this is actually a matter between your brother and Xiangjun. We are all outsiders, and we shouldn't interfere. Also, I was going to tell you this morning, but Yiyi called and interrupted me."

Lu Xi asked back: "Really? What happened next? You didn't tell me in the hospital, and you didn't tell me on the way. Just now, when I asked you, you said you didn't hide anything from me. Are you sure you want to tell me? You really love me!"

Fu Nanzhou took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a gentle tone, "Xixi, can we not be so aggressive?"

Lu Xi was so angry that she laughed. She felt angry but also a little aggrieved. "I am aggressive? You are so funny. It is obviously you who are wrong, but I am the one who is aggressive."

Fu Nanzhou pursed his thin lips. He didn't mean that, nor did he want to hurt her like this. He was just angry at her suspicion and that's why he spoke without thinking.

"Xixi." Fu Nanzhou approached her and wanted to hug her, but Lu Xi slapped his hand away.

"Don't touch me!" Lu Xi had a stubborn temper, and when she got angry, the more she was provoked, the angrier she got.

Fu Nanzhou tried hard to force a smile, "Don't be angry, I was wrong, okay? When couples quarrel, it hurts the children."

Lu Xi could tell that he wanted to use a joke to resolve the conflict, but she couldn't just let it go. "It's not you who was wrong, it's me. I shouldn't have thought too highly of you. You're just an ordinary person."

Fu Nanzhou's smile turned cold and he frowned at her: "Xixi, please don't be like this, okay?"

He didn't like Lu Xi's sarcastic words.

"Okay." Lu Xi agreed and gave him a fake smile. "Didn't I admit that I was wrong? What else do you want me to do?"

Fu Nanzhou wanted to say something when Aunt Liu came over with the phone.

Aunt Liu also heard the quarrel between the two and was worried that her second daughter would get sick from anger, so she made an excuse and said, "Second daughter, it's Madam calling, reminding you and your son-in-law not to forget to go home for dinner."

"Okay, tell my mom and I'll be back soon."

Fu Nanzhou originally had a social engagement, and he came back just to bring strawberries to his wife. He could only feel at ease after seeing her eat.

But since it was his mother-in-law who invited him to dinner, he naturally had to turn it down, so he quickly sent a WeChat message to Ding Yu: trip canceled.

But just after sending it, I heard Lu Xi say: "Tell my mother that Fu Nanzhou can't go because of something, I will go back by myself."

Fu Nan's handsome face tensed. Lu Xi clearly didn't want him to follow her.

He immediately withdrew the message.

Ding Yu: What's going on? Mr. Fu, did you send it to the wrong person?

Fu Nanzhou didn't reply, he just grabbed his coat and left with a sullen face.

Ding Yu could see that their president was in a bad mood. He came back excitedly and left angrily. He must have had another fight with his wife.

But he didn't dare to ask, he just whispered, "Mr. Fu, shall we go to the venue?"

Fu Nanzhou threw a glare at him, "What else? The ground and the sky?"

Ding Yu: “…”

I didn't provoke anyone, why are you coming to me?

**

Lu Xi was also in a very bad mood.

He sneered as he walked out the door, "Who did he throw at me? He threw at me? He didn't have to close the door if he didn't want to, but who was he slamming it for? He's really arrogant, he's learned to slam the door at his wife! What a man!"

Aunt Liu pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and asked carefully: "Second Miss, are you in a bad mood today?"

Lu Xi pursed her lips, "Aunt Liu, do you also think I'm making a fuss or am I being pretentious?"

Aunt Liu stroked her hair and said, "I don't think so. Although Aunt Liu didn't watch you grow up, she knows what kind of character you have. Our son-in-law is not a bad person, but he does lack consideration when handling some things."

What Lu Xi wanted was understanding. Her grievance and anger dissipated a lot just because of this sentence. "Does Uncle Liu have any secrets?"

Aunt Liu curled her lips, "Him? Humph, he smoked behind my back, drank without telling me, and even after I caught him, he still refused to admit it. He has the right idea."

Lu Xi laughed, "But these are just trivial matters."

"Well, it's a small matter. As for the big things, we always discuss them. Only when the couple discuss and work together can they get by."

Lu Xi nodded, "Yes, this is the kind of marriage I want. No matter what happens, we discuss it with each other, but Fu Nanzhou doesn't."

Aunt Liu couldn't help but speak up for Fu Nanzhou, "Son-in-law, maybe he just thinks it's better this way."

"That's the problem. He thinks it's better that way, but has he asked me? If he told me about it and told me that he thinks my brother should solve it himself, I wouldn't be so angry. I don't want to interfere with my brother. I just don't like him to make decisions on everything by himself."

Aunt Liu nodded, "I know that the Second Miss is not an unreasonable person."

Lu Xi's nose felt sore. Aunt Liu understood it all, but Fu Nanzhou was so smart, how could he not understand it?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, especially because of his attitude at that time, the attitude when he left home.

Soon they arrived at the Shen family villa.

"Aunt Liu, I'll tell you about my brother's affairs myself, and you can just pretend you know nothing."

Aunt Liu nodded, "I understand."

Having worked for a wealthy family for a lifetime, Aunt Liu has some awareness that the master's family affairs are not something that servants like her can discuss. Even if they know something, they will keep it to themselves.

Arriving at the Shen's house, Aunt Liu helped Lu Xi walk inside. Not long after the master and servant walked in, they heard the sound of a car engine. Turning back, they saw that it was someone from the Hao family.

I have to say that the Hao family is really extravagant. When just a few people came, it was as if they were attending a state banquet. The bodyguard cars leading the way were all Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and following behind were stretched Hummers surrounded by a convoy of bodyguards. It was truly like the moon surrounded by stars.

After arriving at the Shen family villa, a group of men in black came down one after another, surrounded the stretched Hummer, opened the car door and bent down to wait.

Then, Butler Li helped Hao Teng get out of the car.

Next came Hao Bohua, with a cigar in his hand and his hair combed back in a slicked-back style, looking like a real boss.

Qin Shiyue was wearing a purple cheongsam, a white shawl, and was decked out in jewels.

She supported Hao Yanan and said softly, "Slow down, don't fall."

Seeing Lu Xi, the Hao family members frowned at the same time, and Hao Teng asked unhappily: "The Shen family let you come to greet me alone?"

Lu Xi: “…”

There are all kinds of birds in the forest. I have heard of big-billed pelicans and today I saw big-faced barnacles.

Lu Xi was not slandering Hao Teng, it was just that Hao Teng's face was indeed a little bumpy, just like the barnacles parasitic on the back of a turtle, which was very annoying.

"Why aren't you talking? Is this the upbringing of your Shen family?" Hao Teng said in an unhappy tone, habitually giving orders and was very dissatisfied with Lu Xi's attitude.

Lu Xi curled her lips and said, "Our Shen family is taught to be polite when visiting someone else's home, instead of questioning them right away."

“Hmph, you’re so sharp-tongued.” Hao Teng sneered disdainfully.

Hao Bohua also narrowed his eyes, with a threatening tone in his voice: "Lu Xi, look carefully, this is my father, don't you know how to respect the elderly?"

"Mr. Hao is disrespectful to his elders, so why should I respect the elderly?" Lu Xi was already in a bad mood, so she didn't even want to act.

Upon hearing this, Hao Teng immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you! Since you know who I am, you should show some basic manners! The Shen family can treat you like a little princess, but not in front of me, Hao Teng! Apologize to me!"

Lu Xi laughed angrily and was about to retort when the man's low, cold laugh echoed in the air.
