After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shiyi nodded and the three of them left the ward together.

On the way back, Lu Shiyi asked his sister about what happened with his parents-in-law at noon.

Li Haokai had only given her a rough outline on the phone before, and she wasn't sure if his version was true or false.

She wanted to hear what her sister had to say.

After learning that her husband had spoken to her sister on the phone, Lu Shuyao chose not to hide it anymore.

She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even if her husband knew about the conflict between her and her mother-in-law, he would probably only side with his own parents.

Next, Lu Shuyao recounted to her sister the incident of her in-laws verbally abusing her at noon and the incident of her taking a kitchen knife.

Of course, she didn't repeat her mother-in-law's specific vicious words verbatim, nor could she bring herself to say them.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head dejectedly. "Sister, I was just too angry at the time, so I acted impulsively. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have taken the kitchen knife."

Lu Shiyi looked at her younger sister with eyes full of heartache. How vicious must their words have been to drive her to the point of picking up a kitchen knife?

Indeed, some people's words are far more lethal than knives.

"Yaoyao, you did nothing wrong, and you don't need to reflect on it. If it were me, with cannons at hand, I could bomb them all the way to Siberia."

"Cough cough."

Fu Cheng, who had been silently driving in the front seat, suddenly coughed twice.

I felt a little strange sitting in the front row listening to them discuss their in-laws; I guess every man would feel that way.

Hearing his wife's words, he couldn't help but cough, probably to cover up some kind of laughter.

Hearing her sister's words, Lu Shuyao was amused, and the gloom in her heart dissipated considerably.

Seeing that his sister's face was finally less worried, Lu Shiyi continued, "You took the kitchen knife, so what? If it can deter them, that's a good thing. Let's not punish ourselves for other people's mistakes."

Lu Shuyao nodded; her sister's words did indeed make her feel much more at ease.

Soon, the three arrived at Yao Yao's residential area.

Since finding Yao Yao, Lu Shiyi has not called Li Haokai to inform him.

She had no intention of fighting, nor did she want to fight.

At the door, Lu Shiyi was at the front, and she raised her hand to press the doorbell.

Li Haokai, who had been waiting inside, was filled with rage. When he heard the doorbell ring, he immediately felt a sense of satisfaction that his anger had finally been vented.

She knew to go home when it got dark, but she kept him from going to work all afternoon.

The key issue is that if you're bottling up your anger, you won't be able to get anything done at the company.

Li Haokai stormed toward the door, and his parents-in-law followed him.

As soon as the door opened, Li Haokai slapped him across the face.

Before Lu Shiyi could react, Fu Cheng, who was standing next to her, raised his long arm and grabbed Li Haokai's wrist.

His gaze was fierce, and his grip tightened, causing Li Haokai's face to contort in pain.

Li Haokai struggled desperately, but his height and physical strength were completely suppressed, and he could not move at all.

Lu Shiyi turned to look at this scene and couldn't help but marvel at Fu Cheng's extraordinary agility and reaction speed.

Actually, she didn't realize that when she rang the doorbell, his gaze was on her.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go, let go now!"

Li Haokai finally couldn't hold back and shouted.

Lu Shiyi turned back, her gaze shifting from astonishment to anger.

"Li Haokai, who are you trying to slap, Yao Yao?"

Li Haokai was surprised that Lu Shiyi and his wife had also come.

With his wrist still held by Fu Cheng, his momentum immediately weakened.

The two women behind Li's mother had originally followed to see their daughter-in-law get punished and for their son to stand up for them, but instead they saw their son being restrained and unable to move.

They couldn't help but panic, especially Li's mother.

She forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace and said tremblingly, "We're all family, let's talk this out. Xiao Kai didn't mean to hit anyone, that's why he raised his hand to greet you."

Fu Cheng is somewhat of a germaphobe, and he feels dirty if he holds this guy's wrist for too long, which gives him a psychological barrier.

So he pushed forward hard, releasing Li Haokai's wrist at the same time, causing Li Haokai to stumble and almost hit the door frame.

Lu Shiyi looked at the three people in front of her with a cold smile, especially Li's mother, "Since you say we are family, I won't say anything too harsh, but as Yao Yao's family, we hope you can understand our attitude."

“I don’t expect you to love Yao Yao as much as I, her family, do, but I will absolutely not allow you to hurt her in the slightest. If I find out that she has been bullied in the slightest, I don’t even know what extreme things I might do.”

Li's mother always wore a smile that was more like a grimace. She had always known that Lu Shiyi was not someone to be trifled with, and now she also had Lu Shiyi's husband, Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng was already so cold that people dared not approach him, and now he was glaring fiercely at the three of them, making Li's mother feel that her family of three could be silenced by him at any moment.

Li's mother spoke tremblingly, "We're all family, there's no such thing as bullying, it won't happen, it definitely won't happen."

Li Haokai, standing beside her, kept touching his wrist, which was being squeezed so hard, and didn't say much. He hadn't dared to mention that his wife had pointed a kitchen knife at his parents.

Although Lu Shiyi didn't believe Li's mother's nonsense about being a family, she knew that they were essentially bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, so they probably wouldn't dare to do anything to Yao Yao.

She turned to her younger sister behind her and said, "Yaoyao, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me. If anyone bullies you, I'll get angry with them."

She seemed to be saying this to her sister, but in reality, she was saying it to that family.

Lu Shuyao nodded, "Don't worry, sister. It's getting late. You two should go back and rest early, brother-in-law."

When a person is disappointed to a certain extent, they seem to feel less sadness and instead feel much calmer.

After watching her sister and brother-in-law leave, she went straight into the room, completely ignoring the other three people inside.

On their way home, Lu Shiyi gazed at the city night view outside the car window and fell into deep thought.

She thought that even if her sister's in-laws really did promise tonight and stop bullying Yao Yao,

But Yao Yao lives in such a home every day, facing such people. Can her marriage still be happy?

Lu Shiyi felt increasingly distressed and frustrated as she thought about it. Suddenly, a row of barbecue restaurants outside the car window caught her attention.

At this moment, she needed a barbecue and beer to dispel her unhappiness.

Back in my school days, it was like this: any unhappiness would disappear after a barbecue and some beer.

So much so that later she drank beer like water, and the numbing effect of alcohol was no longer present.

Realizing that neither of them had eaten dinner yet, Lu Shiyi glanced at Fu Cheng, who was driving.

Knowing her husband as she did, barbecue was definitely beyond his acceptable range.

But faced with the strong temptation of barbecue, she suddenly remembered something Fu Cheng had said that afternoon.

So he began to speak:

"Mr. Fu, what you said this afternoon, that all your time today is mine, does that still stand?"
