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

"Brother Rong, I'm a little tired. I'm going to go upstairs and rest first." Wei Yutong stood up halfway through her meal.

Lu Xi frowned, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just have some stars in front of my eyes. I'm sleepy. I have to go to bed first. You eat quickly. Don't worry about me. I'm going to rest upstairs for a while."

Shen Congrong also stood up, "I'll help you."

Wei Yutong found it funny, and said with a hint of coquettishness in her gentleness, "Brother Rong, I'm not old."

"You are not old, but I want to support you and take care of you. This is my right as a husband. Is that not okay?"

Shen Congrong pretended to be joking, but he was actually worried that something might happen to his wife while she was alone upstairs. If it wasn't discovered in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

It was with this consideration that he took advantage of the Hao Yanan incident and completely handed over the company to his son Shen Mo.

The couple went upstairs hand in hand. Although they were already middle-aged, they still held hands tightly and showed their deep affection.

Lu Xi looked at her parents' backs and thought of everything her mother had been through. Her heart felt like it was being tugged at and it hurt.

Her mother is obviously in bad condition, but as of today, her grandparents still haven't called her. They don't even ask about her. Don't they like her mother that much?

**

In the evening, Lu Xi and Fu Nanzhou returned to Longhu Villa. Because Dahai had the flu, Shen Pingting followed them.

Shen Pingting sat alone on the swing in the garden. The moonlight enveloped her, casting a soft halo around her, but also making the girl look even more cold.

Shen Pingting took out a ladies' cigarette, put it to her lips and lit it. The smoke spread in the air, adding a faint haziness to her cool and beautiful face.

Lu Xi stood by the window and observed the scene. Ever since she met Ji Liangchuan in the hospital, her sister's condition seemed to be a little abnormal, and she was a little worried.

"You just finished taking a shower, where are you going?" Fu Nanzhou came out of the bathroom and saw his wife putting on her coat again, as if she was getting ready to go out. He paused while drying his hair and asked with a frown.

Lu Xi pointed outside and said, "I'm going to go see my sister."

"Haven't you seen enough during the day?" Fu Nanzhou said in a depressed tone. That day, the girl looked at Shen Pingting more times than at him.

Lu Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I haven't seen enough. We've been apart for twenty years. How can I see enough?"

"..." Fu Nanzhou frowned and smiled bitterly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But if a grown man were to be jealous of his own sister-in-law, he would probably be laughed at, right?

Lu Xi walked outside and saw Shen Pingting looking up at the dark night sky from afar. Her sharp eyes were blurred at the moment.

Maybe she was really distracted, and Lu Xi was wearing soft-soled slippers, so Shen Pingting didn't even notice her approaching.

"Ji...Liangchuan..." Shen Pingting murmured the name, feeling like a thorn in her heart.

She couldn't explain why she cared so much about the man, and she felt like she had missed some details.

The sharpness returned to her eyes, and she immediately stood up from the swing, then picked up the phone and called Fu Xizhou.

Fu Xizhou was impatient, with murderous intent in his tone, "Shen Pingting, are you sick? What time is it now? Don't you know?"

"Fu Xizhou, help me find where the child is."

Her own skills were limited and not as good as Fu Xizhou's, so after much deliberation, she decided to ask Fu Xizhou for help.

Fu Xizhou on the other side was stunned for a moment, turned on the light, and slowly sat up from the bed. He unbuttoned his black shirt, revealing his muscular chest. With his handsome face that had a hint of danger, he looked extremely arrogant.

Fu Xizhou raised his lips in a smile, "Shen Pingting, why do you think I will help you?"

"Are you scared?" Shen Pingting asked coldly.

Fu Xizhou sneered, "What are you afraid of?"

Shen Pingting lowered her eyelashes. "Your skills are better than mine, so I came to you. If you don't have confidence in your level, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fu Xizhou sneered, "Provocation doesn't work on me. If you ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. Maybe if you kneel down and kowtow, and call me Second Master, I might help you."

"Since you don't have the confidence, forget it."

Shen Pingting was about to hang up the phone when she heard Fu Xizhou's sneer: "But since you've already asked me for help, I naturally can't refuse you."

Although he is not a good person, the fact that Wei Yutong was so excited that she wanted to strangle Shen Pingting after she gave birth to her had something to do with him. He just wanted to make up for his mistake for Xiao Jiuer.

Shen Pingting raised her eyebrows, "You agreed?"

Fu Xizhou snorted coldly, "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee the results."

"I see."

Shen Pingting is not a talkative person, so she hung up the phone after Fu Xizhou reached an agreement.

Holding the phone, her fingers kept tightening and tightening, and the expression on her face became extremely serious.

For some reason, if it was in the past, she would not have wanted to find the child so much, but this time when she saw Xiaochuan, the narcissistic man Ji Liangchuan, her heart became extremely agitated, and a strange obsession continued to ferment, as if it was about to break through an invisible cage in her heart.

Not far away, Lu Xi stood there blankly. If she had heard correctly, her sister seemed to have mentioned the child.

What kind of child is her sister looking for?

Her sister is not the kind of person who cares about other people, this child must be related to her!

At this moment, Shen Pingting suddenly turned around, and the two sisters' eyes met. Lu Xi had no time to hide the shock on her face, and she could not hide her emotions, so Shen Pingting easily saw through her.

Her pupils trembled, and Shen Pingting walked up quickly, looking at her sister coldly, "Did you hear it?"

Lu Xi's breathing tightened, and finally she nodded, "Yeah, I heard it. Sister, have you ever given birth to a child?"

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what her sister said that time. She ignored it at that time, but now she thought that her sister seemed to have experience in this area.

"Yes."

Shen Pingting only left these two words and planned to return to the villa. She didn't want to say more to her sister.

But Lu Xi's heart was already filled with huge waves. How could she remain calm and pretend nothing had happened after knowing such a shocking secret?

"Sister, sister, what's going on? This is Tan Xiangyun's conspiracy, right?"

Lu Xi hurriedly chased after him, the shock on her face replaced by anger.

Her sister has always lived with Tan Xiangyun. If she didn't know that she had given birth to a child, then it must be related to Tan Xiangyun.

What on earth did that vicious woman do to her sister? !

Shen Pingting suddenly stopped and looked at her sternly, "This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm your biological sister." Lu Xi was deeply hurt by these words, and felt like she was being rejected by her sister.

"You are a pregnant woman now, just take care of yourself and the baby in your belly, don't worry about other people's affairs!"

Shen Pingting's tone was cold, and it sounded as if she had no feelings towards Lu Xi, but what she wanted to express was that pregnant women should take good care of the fetus and not worry about these messy things.

Lu Xi bit her lip and walked back angrily.

Fu Nanzhou was worried about her, so he came out with her and was standing not far away, dressed neatly.

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Shen Pingting?" Fu Nanzhou put his arms around her waist to share some of his weight with her.

Lu Xi suddenly tilted her head and glared at him angrily.

Fu Nanzhou was stunned, "Did I offend you?"
