re finally back," she said, "I thought you two were going to spend the night out there." 。" It's impossible. 。Fu Xiaoyao smiled. 。Lu Hanchuan handed the lunchbox to Aunt Song, "I'll go upstairs for..."I think you're deliberately lying to me about being broke," Fu's mother said, spitting out a toothpick and calmly packing up Fu Xiaoyao's bag without the slightest sign of being caught.

Fu Xiaoyao tiredly pounded her lower back, "Now you know I wasn't lying to you, right"

"Who said that, what if you purposely didn't bring money here" Fu's mother persisted.

Fu Xiaoyao wearily closed her eyes, "Fine, if that's how you see it, there's nothing I can do. I've already finished cleaning. Where are Dad and Zixuan"

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the two of them since she arrived.

"Your dad went out to play chess with someone, and your brother is out there talking business with clients." Fu's mother replied with a tired sigh.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "Mom, the reason I came to find you this time is to talk about this. Did Zixuan really go to talk business"

Fu's mother's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean"

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her, "I mean, did Zixuan go to talk business, or to gamble with people"

"You... how did you know" Mrs. Fu's eyes widened in surprise.

Fu Xiaoyao gasped, "Mom, you really know about Zixuan's gambling!"

"I... I don't know..." Mother Fu's eyes darted nervously.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a snort of laughter, "Don't try to fool me. You just admitted it yourself, Mom, do you even know what you're doing"

"What can I do It's just gambling, not a big deal," Fu's mother snorted.

"It's not a big deal" Fu Xiaoyao stared at her in disbelief, "Mom, this isn't a big deal. What is a big deal Do you even know what gambling means How many people have lost their homes and families because of it"

"You're being ridiculous!" Fu's mother stood up angrily, hitting the sofa. "What do you mean 'home destroyed' Can't you say something nice It's not that bad!"

"How come As far as I know, Zixuan has become addicted to gambling and lost almost five million. Wasn't that five million what Hanchuan gave him last time"

"Indeed," Mother Fu admitted generously.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart ached. She took several deep breaths before calming down. "It seems the excuse you gave me for needing money was also false. It wasn't Zixuan who got into a car accident, but you needed the money to pay off your gambling debts!"

Mother Fu scoffed, "I don't think so. Can you give me some money"

Fu Xiaoyao was almost driven to a breakdown by her attitude, and her emotions became agitated. "Mom, do you even know what you're doing You're actually enabling him! Is gambling good for Zixuan No! He'll only become more and more insane, and sooner or later he'll ruin this family."

"Defeated" Fu's mother didn't believe it, and instead said proudly, "There's still you guys, aren't there You're his sister and brother-in-law, so you can't just ignore him, right"

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her face full of shock as she pointed at herself. "So you think I and Hanchuan would help him pay off his debts, that's why you don't think Zixuan's gambling is a big deal"

"That's right, your son-in-law is so wealthy, why not help Xuen with his debts You are his sister and brother-in-law after all."

"You..." Fu Xiaoyao's body swayed, and she felt a little dizzy.

She knew she was fuming. To prevent herself from fainting, she pinched her thigh hard. "Mom, how could you do this If Zixuan really owed money from his startup, I wouldn't mind helping him pay it back. But this is gambling! He'll only owe more and more. How can I possibly pay it all off Besides, why should Hanchuan help Zixuan"

"Just because he's your husband!" Fu's mother said matter-of-factly.

Fu Xiaoyao laughed, she was truly amused. "That's right, he is my husband, but we signed a prenuptial agreement when we got married. His money and everything belonging to the Lu family have nothing to do with me. I just told you this a moment ago. If you want him to divorce me, then go find him."

"Divorce" Mrs. Fu was taken aback. "How did this get brought up as divorce"

“How could that be possible Who would accept a daughter-in-law who lets her own brother repay her husband's debts” Fu Xiaoyao glared at her with cold, indifferent eyes. “Mom, you should know what kind of person Hanchuan is. He doesn't even care about me, so why would he care about the Fu family”

"This..." Mrs. Fu's mouth opened and closed, unable to speak.

Fu Xiaoyao, seeing this, continued to warn, "So what While Zixuan hasn't racked up a huge gambling debt yet, you should get him to quit as soon as possible. Don't let him gamble anymore, or if he can't pay back the money later, not only will he be chased by those from the casino, but he might even end up in jail."

"This serious" Fu's mother was frightened.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. "You can look it up online. That's exactly what I did before coming to advise you."

"But I don't know where Zixuan is now, he hasn't been back for several days." Fu's mother urgently grabbed her hand and said in a loving maternal manner: "Xiaoyao, I can't get in touch with Zixuan, what if something happens to Zixuan, you must help him, you know my son-in-law doesn't have much affection for our family, but he is still Zixuan's brother-in-law..."

"I won't care about him!" Lu Hanchuan's cold voice rang out at the door.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, hurriedly turning her head to look. She realized that the living room door had never been closed, and Lu Hanchuan was walking in with his long legs.

"How did you get here" she asked, stunned, as he approached.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, replying indifferently, "You haven't been back to the villa. I asked Aunt Song and she told me you were here."

"So you came here especially for me" Fu Xiaoyao pointed at herself and looked at him expectantly.

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips moved slightly, but he didn't answer. He turned his gaze to Fu's mother, who was stunned, "Aunt, I also heard what you just said. I must make it clear to you that for Fu Zixuan, I will not offer any help."

"Why Zixuan is your nephew!" Fu's mother came to her senses and said unhappily.

“I’ve never considered him as any kind of nephew.” Lu Hanchuan coldly hooked the corner of his mouth. “The only Fu family member I recognize is Xiao Yao. The rest of you are not within my acceptance range. To me, you are just strangers. That five million last time was because I looked at you for raising Xiao Yao. Just consider it my dowry when I marry her.”

"Acknowledged..." Fu Xiaoyao repeated the two words, couldn't help but secretly smiled.

He acknowledged her!

So could she assume that while he may not have feelings for her yet, he already recognizes her as his wife

"Gift money" Mrs. Fu didn't like hearing Lu Hanzhen's words, her tone turned sarcastic. "You are supposed to give us gift money, but this amount is a little too low, don't you think You have hundreds of billions in assets after all."

"Then how much do you want" Lu Hanchuan frowned.

Mother Fu rolled her eyes and stretched out a finger, "One hundred million!"

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Fu Xiaoyao was furious. "One hundred million Mom, how could you say that!"

Even lions wouldn't dare open their mouths this wide!

"Be quiet! You have no right to speak here!" Mrs. Fu rebuked.

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her fist in anger, just about to speak, when Lu Hanchuan pressed her head down.

"Hánchuān" she looked at him with some puzzlement.

Lu Hchuan ignored Fu Xiaoyao and only gave Fu's mother a cold smile. "Are you sure about one hundred million"

"Of course." Mother Fu thought he had agreed, and began to feel proud, "We raised her so big, what's one hundred million to you"

"Hehehe…" Lu Hanchuan let out a low chuckle, his laughter chilling and dangerous, "One hundred million is acceptable, how about I exchange Fu Zixuan's five years in prison for it"y perceptible sigh.Lu Hánchuan looked at her, "You seem to care about my aunt"He voiced his own doubts.A flash of panic crossed Fu Xiaoyao's eyes, but it quickly subsided. She smiled calmly, "Yes, aft...
