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

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he continued to look ahead.

After a moment of silence, she said, "I was just thinking of going back to my hometown tomorrow, but I was planning to go alone."

Fu Cheng turned to look at him and asked, "You don't want me to go back with you?"

Lu Shiyi smiled and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling. You heard what Old Man Lu said on the phone just now. That family looks like unreasonable and difficult people. I don't want to involve you. After all, no one wants to get caught up in this mess for no reason."

His wife was trying to help him, but Fu Cheng was very angry when he heard it.

He said in a low voice, "We are husband and wife. There's no question of one of us interfering in the other's business. If you go back and get bullied, do you think I'll look good?"

Actually, when she was on the phone, listening to the aggressive words on the other end, Lu Shiyi didn't feel any obvious anger, because she was already numb.

But Fu Cheng, standing to the side, was not so angry. He was even more furious than his wife, the person directly involved, though he didn't show it on his face.

They dare to bully Fu Cheng's wife like this; he'll make them regret ever being born.

Given his status and connections in Nanshi, teaching that family a lesson would be a piece of cake for him.

But this was ultimately his wife's family matter, and she held the reins, so he couldn't interfere too much. That's why he suggested going back to her hometown with her.

His decision not to discipline her privately does not mean he will let his wife go back and let them bully her.

At this moment, Lu Shiyi could clearly hear the displeasure in his words, and her gaze unconsciously swept over her husband.

She almost forgot that although she and Fu Cheng didn't have a deep relationship now, they were still husband and wife after all. In a sense, her family affairs were also his family affairs. Not letting him participate would indeed make him feel embarrassed, so it was no wonder he was angry.

So Lu Shiyi explained gently, "I thought you would be reluctant to go, so I said that. Since you are willing, I couldn't be happier. After all, your unparalleled aura is so powerful that just standing there is worth several of me, Lu Shiyi."

Fu Cheng hadn't expected his wife to change her tone so quickly, so his anger came on fast and subsided just as quickly.

He said with rare humility, "I'm just going to give you face; the key is still you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi immediately replied, "That's what I thought too, so you should try to stand next to me and not say a word. Just use your presence to intimidate them. As for the verbal battles, leave them to me."

Fu Cheng: "..."

He glanced sideways at his wife and asked, "So, you're saying you're disgusted with me?"

Realizing her husband's tone was off, and seeing that the light was red, Lu Shiyi took the opportunity to turn to look at him and said sincerely, "It's really not that. It's just that considering your noble demeanor, arguing with people would only lower your status!"

For some reason, she suddenly felt that this arrogant man in front of her, when he got stubborn, seemed even harder to coax than her best friend.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng was somewhat satisfied and casually remarked, "Actually, your temperament is not bad either."

Lu Shiyi blinked her beautiful big eyes as she listened. It turned out that her husband's sharp tongue could not only cut people, but also praise them.

She proudly raised her head and said, "That's right, I'm equally at home in the living room and the kitchen, I can discuss the world and prepare meals, my superb culinary skills are renowned far and wide, and everyone praises my delicious dishes!"

Fu Cheng: "..."

He lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Focus on driving. I was just saying it casually, don't take it too seriously."

…………

After the couple returned to Huafu Junyuan, Lu Shiyi immediately called his hometown.

In the past, when she called home, she usually called Lu's mother. Lu's father was not good at talking, and every time the father and daughter chatted about everyday things, it would unknowingly turn into an awkward conversation and there would always be an awkward silence.

So she always got into the habit of calling Lu's mother, and Lu's father would either take the call and say a few words, or he would lean close to Lu's mother's ear and listen happily, occasionally chiming in a word or two.

But today, Lu Shiyi called her father directly, and her father was slightly surprised when he received the call from his daughter.

Upon learning that the Lu family had called their daughter directly, he remained silent for a while before telling her about the recent events at home.

Of course, he didn't mention a word about his health condition.

Anyway, his daughter will be returning to her hometown tomorrow. As for the self-built house and the Lu family's reunion, even if he doesn't say anything, his daughter will naturally find out through other people.

At the time, the Lu family only forced Lu's father to sign a letter of transfer, without mentioning the matter of recognizing relatives.

But Mr. Lu was adamant because most of the money for the self-built house was earned by his daughter through hard work, and in the end it could only be left to his daughter. He didn't care about the distinction between daughter and son; he only knew that they were all his children.

Besides, my family has long since severed ties with the Lu family, so why should we give it to them?

The Lu family couldn't persuade Lu's father no matter what they tried, which is why they came up with the idea of ​​acknowledging their relatives. It was mainly Lu's father's brothers who came up with the idea, thinking that by acknowledging their relatives, Lu's father could also take on the responsibility of supporting them.

Especially in the last two years, the two elderly people's health has obviously deteriorated. At the beginning of this year, Mr. Lu was also diagnosed with early signs of lung cancer, probably because he smoked too much.

If he really falls ill, someone will inevitably have to spend money and effort to take care of him.

The Lu brothers thought that they had to acknowledge their kinship no matter what. They had served their parents for so many years, and it was their turn to be filial to their father's family.

So they not only searched for Lu's parents in their hometown, but also went to great lengths to find their niece, Lu Shiyi, whom they hadn't contacted for many years.

They just didn't expect that this niece would be even more difficult to deal with than Lu's father.

After listening to what his father had to say on the phone, Lu Shiyi calmly reassured him, "Dad, Mom, you two don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it with them."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu gripped his phone tightly and remained silent for a long time.

In the past, people in the village would always laugh at him for not having a son, saying that his lineage had ended. But he knew in his heart that his daughter was much better than most of his sons, and no less capable than them!

He initially chose not to tell his daughter because he knew her personality; he knew that once she found out, she would rather abandon her own affairs and go back to her hometown to help them solve the problem.

So he thought he could stall for as long as possible, since the Lu family couldn't be so domineering as to kick him and his mother out of their house.

But to everyone's surprise, her daughter eventually found out.

Fortunately, my daughter just said that she will go back with Fu Cheng tomorrow.

After meeting his eldest son-in-law in Nanshi last time, he and Lu's mother had the same feeling: although the young man seemed cold on the surface, he always gave them a sense of stability and reliability.

Therefore, he felt more at ease if his eldest son-in-law was there...
