In order to get a hukou, I got married to a billionaire

"Aunt, just tell me what's going on."

"Xixi, regarding the Zhao family's matter, do you... want to reconsider it?" Ning Lan asked tentatively after hesitating.

Ning Xi's heart instantly sank to the bottom, "Did they come looking for you?"

Ning Lan lowered her head slightly and said without denying, "I know they went too far this time, but many people have already scolded them online, and they know they are wrong. Can you not let them go to jail?"

Ning Xi looked at her hesitant eyes and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Aunt, Zhao Haicheng is reaping what he sowed, and, I told you, I won't let them off easily."

"I know, Xixi, I know!" Ning Lan grabbed her hand excitedly, not wanting her to continue.

“I know they are bad people, but Kaifeng and Kailin are also members of the Zhao family. I thought you could at most give them some warnings, or even ask them to pay some money, but they can’t go to jail!

If their father and grandmother are both in jail, how will they find jobs and partners in the future? Xixi, I can’t just ignore them!”

She could ignore Zhao Haicheng and Mrs. Zhao, but she couldn't ignore Zhao Kaifeng and his sister. After all, they were her children.

Ning Lan had not thought at first that Ning Xi would send them to jail. She only realized it now, so she hurriedly called Ning Xi over.

Ning Xi looked at her pleading eyes, feeling heartbroken and deeply disappointed.

"Did Zhao Kailin tell you this?"

Ning Lan pursed her lips, her eyes somewhat evasive, "Xixi, I...I've already let them down, I really can't just watch them ruin their future."

As a mother, Ning Lan had no choice. They were her own children and she couldn't bear to see them being affected.

Ning Xi took a deep breath, not knowing how to describe her current mood. Of course, she could let the Zhao family go, but would the Zhao family let Ning Lan go?

You know, she was so determined this time not for herself.

And she really didn't understand, at this point, why Ning Lan wanted to maintain a marriage in name only with Zhao Haicheng?

Really, is it because of the children?

"Xixi, I know you are very angry, but they have learned their lesson and will surely not dare to do such a thing again. Besides, I will make it clear to them, so just withdraw the lawsuit." Seeing that she was silent, Ning Lan spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"Aunt, if you don't leave Zhao Haicheng, do you still love him?" Ning Xi did not agree with her, but asked suddenly.

Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, then she forced a bitter smile and said, "Xixi, what are you talking about? What's the point of love? Marriage and life are like this. Besides, he and I have two children. You will understand when you have children in the future. If one day, your man also..."

"He's not that kind of person, and neither am I."

Qin Yan is not Zhao Haicheng, and she is not Ning Lan.

Qin Yan would not hit women, nor would he rely on women for a living. He had a weird temper, but he was responsible.

She is not Ning Lan. She will not compromise just to have a child, or even ignore right and wrong and believe in some bullshit promises.

Ning Xi's firm rebuttal left Ning Lan speechless for a moment.

Finally, he shook his head and said, "You are still young. Anyway, you will understand when you have children."

Seeing that Ning Lan was determined to speak for the Zhao family, Ning Xi felt sad and helpless.

She knew that it was impossible to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep. Ning Lan didn't want to leave Zhao Haicheng, so no matter what she said, it would be useless.

That's it.

The deep feeling of powerlessness made her feel tired. She looked at Ning Lan and said, "I can withdraw the lawsuit."

Ning Lan's eyes lit up, and she was about to say something else when she heard her say, "But the Zhao family must agree to one condition of mine, and this is the last time. If the Zhao family dares to provoke me again, I will not let them go, even if you say so."

"What, what conditions?" Ning Lan asked worriedly.

"I'll tell them when we sign the settlement agreement. But don't worry, it won't affect Kailin and Kaifeng." Ning Xi said, glancing in the direction of the bedroom.

Seeing that she was determined, Ning Lan said nothing more and just nodded.

"Then I'll go first."

"It's too late, why don't you stay and have dinner together?"

"I've eaten. Let Kailin accompany you." After saying that, Ning Xi left Ning Lan's house directly.

Ning Lan stood there in a daze, her eyes scanned the house, and finally saw the backpack behind the dining table and chair, and she sighed deeply.

She knew Ning Xi didn't like Kailin, so she asked her to hide first, but she didn't expect that she would be discovered by her anyway.

"She's gone?" After hearing no noise outside, Zhao Kailin, who was hiding in the bedroom, came out.

"Mom, what did Ning Xi say? Did she agree to withdraw the lawsuit?"

"Call me sister. I told you, Ning Xi is your sister!" Ning Lan frowned in dissatisfaction when she heard her words.

Zhao Kailin rolled her eyes secretly. What kind of sister is Ning Xi? She even sent her whole family to the police station. She is still a shitty sister.

But in order to let Ning Lan persuade Ning Xi to withdraw the lawsuit, she could only pretend to be obedient and said, "Okay, I understand. Tell me quickly, has she agreed?"

Zhao Kailin was a little anxious. If her father and grandmother were both sentenced, how would she face people in the future?

Not to mention, she also has a boyfriend whose family is an official.

If his family knew that her family members were in jail, they would definitely abandon her!

"She said she is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, but the prerequisite is that your father and grandmother have to agree to one of her conditions." Ning Lan said.

After hearing the previous words, Zhao Kailin's eyes lit up, but when she heard that there were conditions, she became anxious again!

"What conditions? What does she want to do?"

"I don't know about that." Ning Lan shook her head.

"Mom, how could you not ask clearly about such an important matter?" Zhao Kailin was almost going crazy. Could this mom be of some help?

"You've already said that as long as he doesn't go to jail, everything is fine. Xixi promised that she won't let your father go to jail. Isn't that enough?" Ning Lan frowned and looked at her.

"What if the conditions she proposed are too excessive? Not going to jail, but what if my dad has to break a leg or an arm, or give her a large sum of money?" The more Zhao Kailin thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ning Xi must want them to take the money!

Damn it, he is such an ungrateful person.

"No, Xixi is not that kind of person!" Ning Lan frowned. Although she said this, she also thought so in her heart.

Zhao Kailin didn't believe it, "How can you guarantee that? She is so mean, she wants Dad and Grandma to go to jail. What if she deliberately uses this matter to control us?"

"This... won't happen. Xixi won't be like this."

"You just believe her. She's talking nonsense, but you still believe her!" Zhao Kailin was both angry and anxious.

If her family members hadn't been in jail and she hadn't had any way to get them out, and had no money to hire a lawyer, she wouldn't have come here to beg her!

"Linlin, can you please speak properly? Since Xixi has agreed, she will definitely not go too far. But you, you promised me before that you would get along well with Xixi in the future!"
