Ning Xi simply dropped the electric bike and ran upstairs.

As soon as I reached the top of the stairs, I heard a familiar curse, "Bitch! Give me the money, or not!"

Ning Xi's anger reached its peak. He picked up a mop from the stairwell, rushed to the third floor, and kicked open the half-closed door.

"Aunt! Zhao Haicheng, let her go!"

Her aunt Ning Lan was being pinned down by her uncle Zhao Haicheng, who was slapping her madly.

Ning Xi rushed forward and hit Zhao Haicheng on the back with a stick, then kicked him off Ning Lan's body.

Not only that, she also grabbed Zhao Haicheng's hair and slapped him several times.

Zhao Haicheng screamed in pain after being beaten. He finally broke free and got up, cursing, "You ungrateful bastard, if it weren't for my Zhao family taking you sisters in, providing you with food and clothing, you would have died out there! You hit me and you're repaying kindness with hatred! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you!"

Ning Xi stared at him intently, "Go ahead! If you don't go, you're a dog!"

Ning Xi is not afraid of him. This uncle is a scumbag who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

As for the saying that the Zhao family adopted them, they were brought back by their aunt from the very beginning. This house was also allocated by their aunt from her work. The money they used to eat and drink when they were young was also left by their parents. It had nothing to do with the Zhao family!

Sure enough, seeing Ning Xi's fierce eyes, Zhao Haicheng became scared.

He couldn't help but recall that Ning Xi used to be a cruel girl. She dared to fight with him when she was just a teenager. Later, she even learned Muay Thai and pinned him to the ground and rubbed him.

Suddenly, he felt even more pain in his body!

"Don't, don't think I'm afraid of you! Just wait!"

Zhao Haicheng glared and said something harsh, then ran away without waiting for Ning Xi to say anything else.

Ning Xi suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Auntie, how are you?"

She supported Ning Lan and saw her red and swollen cheeks. Her heart ached and her anger rose again.

Damn Zhao Haicheng. If it weren't for him and the Zhao family's torture, how could my aunt, who is only in her forties, look as old as someone in her fifties? And now he even dares to hit her!

Damn it!

"I'm fine, these are just external injuries." Ning Lan shook her head, and then saw a lot of people standing at the door, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself again."

"Hey, I'm glad you're okay. This Zhao Haicheng is such a jerk!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The people at the door were all old neighbors, and they knew everything about the Zhao family.

It’s just that Zhao Haicheng is too shameless, and they don’t dare to stand up for Ning Lan for fear of causing trouble. They can only curse him now.

Ning Lan didn't blame them. She said a few polite words and let Ning Xi close the door.

"Aunt, let me go to the hospital with you."

"It's okay, it's just a wound on my face. It will heal after applying some medicine." Ning Lan waved her hand, not wanting to spend money indiscriminately.

"Auntie..." Ning Xi opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her to divorce again, but Ning Lan hurriedly said, "Oh, Shuo Shuo was sleeping just now, I don't know if he was woken up and scared, go and check."

When Shuo Shuo was mentioned, Ning Xi's heart also lifted. He quickly asked Ning Lan to sit down and went to the bedroom to check.

As soon as he entered the bedroom and saw that there was no one on the bed, Ning Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Then, in the corner of the bed, I saw a child hugging his knees, shivering with his head down.

"Shuo Shuo!" Ning Xi rushed over and hugged him, "Shuo Shuo, don't be afraid. Your aunt is here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Shuo Shuo was traumatized by witnessing his parents' car accident and developed PTSD. He became extremely sensitive and unwilling to speak.

Therefore, she wanted to send Shuo Shuo to the best school in H City, because in addition to studying, there was also psychological guidance and treatment, which was more suitable for Shuo Shuo's current situation.

She hugged the child tightly and comforted him for a long time before she felt the trembling little body relax slightly.

"Xixi, how is Shuoshuo?" Ning Lan also came over.

Ning Xi stood up while holding Shuo Shuo and said, "It's okay, I was just scared."

Ning Lan's face was full of guilt, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let that bastard make such a fuss." As a result, the child was scared.

Ning Xi looked at her and knew that she meant to give money to Zhao Haicheng, because Zhao Haicheng always asked for money every time he beat someone up.

But this approach, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, will only whet Zhao Haicheng's appetite.

However, Ning Lan obviously didn't want to talk about divorce, so she could only keep her thoughts to herself.

After comforting Shuo Shuo and examining Ning Lan, Ning Xi was finally relieved to confirm that it was only a superficial injury.

Then, after careful consideration, she told Ning Lan about the marriage.

Although this marriage will not last long, Ning Lan will definitely notice it when she completes the adoption procedures. It would be better to tell her now than to tell her then.

Of course, in order to avoid Ning Lan worrying, she would definitely not tell her about the arranged marriage.

However, Ning Lan was still shocked.

"Get married? To whom? Why are you getting married suddenly?" Ning Lan stared at her with her swollen eyes wide open.

Ning Xi was about to introduce Qin Yan to her, but Ning Lan asked again: "Is it Sun Yu? Did he come back to see you?"

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard the name, but then she quickly covered it up and shook her head, "No, his name is Qin Yan, he's a very good person and he treats me very well. I thought we could get along well, so we got married."

Ning Lan looked at her calm expression and felt that something was not quite right.

But Ning Xi continued, "Aunt, I'm almost the same age, and the other party is two years older than me. We are both serious, don't worry."

"Having said that, but..."

"Aunt, please believe me, I won't do anything rash."

Ning Lan opened her mouth, still feeling uneasy, but the matter was done and she knew that Ning Xi was more opinionated than her, so it would be useless to say more.

It can only be changed into a sigh.

"From now on, let Shuo Shuo live with me, and don't take him over." Ning Lan said finally.

"No need. I told Qin Yan about Shuo Shuo before we got married, and he agreed that I could live with Shuo Shuo."

This is the truth. She and Qin Yan mentioned Shuo Shuo, and he really didn't care.

Of course, it may also be because he didn't intend to be with her for a long time from the beginning.

"Is this okay? No, let me take care of Shuo Shuo. Even if he agrees, will his family agree later? When you have your own child in the future, he..."

Because of her own experience, Ning Lan was very worried that the person Ning Xi was looking for might be the same as Zhao Haicheng.

Shuo Shuo, who was standing by, heard this and hugged Ning Xi tightly nervously without saying anything.

Ning Xi quickly comforted him and said to Ning Lan, "Don't worry, auntie, he is not that kind of person."

"Men will change. They will be different after they have their own children." Ning Lan was still worried.

"If he changes, then I will divorce him! I know what I want and I am not afraid to leave him."

"...Oh, forget it. As long as you don't suffer any loss, it's fine. When you have time, bring the person to your aunt." Ning Lan shook her head and said nothing more.

"it is good."

Ning Xi waited until dark, but Zhao Haicheng didn't come back. Ning Lan took into consideration that she was married and advised her to go home early.

Ning Xi was worried at first, but Ning Lan wouldn't let her stay no matter what, so she could only take Shuo Shuo back first.

But she didn't expect that when she just arrived downstairs at the rental building, she saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the corridor.
