"Ms. Lu, we regretted the house issue first, but you still put aside the past and helped us. I really don't know what to say. If it weren't for you today, I don't know what I would do. It's our Li family who is sorry for you!"

Before Lu An Ning came, she wanted to find a breakthrough from Mr. Li and his wife, but when she really saw the environment in which the couple lived, she just wanted to help them to the best of her ability.

She helped the crying Aunt Li to sit down, and seeing that Uncle Li didn't say a word, she sighed.

"I'm helping you, but I simply can't bear to watch. Since Aunt Li brought up the house issue, there are some things I don't want to hide anymore. I don't know how much money Li Shun received to jump out and stop you from signing at this time, but what I see is that he doesn't care about your life or death. Do you really want to continue protecting a son who will only suck your blood like this?"

Uncle Li turned his head away from Lu An Ning and did not answer. Aunt Li sat beside him, wiping her tears, not knowing how to answer.

"My husband and I only have this one son. If he doesn't listen to him, what should we do?"

"Listen to him, he never cared about you! If I'm not mistaken, it was Li Shun who pushed Uncle Li to the ground just now! To put it bluntly, if you fell and got hurt today, I'm afraid he wouldn't feel sorry for you. You live in a shabby house and live frugally, not even willing to buy meat, but you didn't know that he was gambling and spending money extravagantly outside, and a glass of wine was enough to cover your living expenses for two or three months."

The more Lu Anning thought about it, the angrier he became: "Why would you recognize a beast like him?"

She shouldn't have been involved in the Li family's affairs. She was just angry that Li Shun didn't know how to appreciate the blessings he had. He had his biological parents' love, but he didn't know how to repay their kindness and be filial to them. Unlike her, who didn't even know who his biological parents were as far as she could remember, she was adopted by the Lu family and thought she would have a happy life, but she didn't expect that she would be just a pawn in the eyes of her adoptive parents.

Lu Anning collected his thoughts and glanced at the silent Mr. Li. "Originally, you should have received a good compensation for the demolition, bought a two-bedroom apartment, and lived a stable life. But now? He's been throwing tantrums and falsely accusing my colleague of assault. He's also been live-streaming on social media to defame my company's reputation, causing it heavy losses. If my boss really wants to investigate, he could send him to jail. People should think about themselves sometimes."

Lu Anning had said all she wanted to say. If the couple insisted on listening to Li Shun, she could choose another way to solve the problem.

After being busy for so long, Lu Anning didn't want to stay any longer and walked out with her bag.

At the door, she stopped and said, "I've paid for five days' rent, so you can stay here with peace of mind. The suburban house is no longer habitable. Everyone else has moved out. Even if you don't sign, this house is uninhabitable. Think about how you're going to live in the future. Thanks to Li Shun, you can't even get a spot under the bridge in the east city."

The door was closed. Uncle Li sat on the bed, his face pale, his lips trembling slightly, and he never uttered a word.

He knew very well what kind of person his son was, but he was his son after all. He always hoped that this son would provide him with a support in his old age, but Lu Anning's words touched the most painful part of Uncle Li's heart.

He is such a rebellious son, he only knows how to ask him for money.

Coming out of the hotel, Lu Anning walked in the rain holding an umbrella, feeling depressed. She couldn't change Mr. Li and his wife's mind, and wondered how things were going with Tang Jingyuan.

After returning to the company, Zhong Ling told her that Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang had gone out at noon, and the public relations department had suppressed public opinion, fearing that Li Shun would continue to publicize the matter.

Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang didn't come back that afternoon. During that time, Ye Lingfei came to the project department and sarcastically accused Lu Anning of causing trouble for the company, causing Tang Jingyuan and Xiang Yang to personally help her solve the problem.

"Lu Anning, if I were you, I would admit defeat and resign as soon as possible to avoid wasting everyone's time here."

Lu Anning just smiled: "It's only the second day, Director Ye is too impatient. How do you know that I can't handle this trouble?"

Ye Lingfei's expression immediately turned cold: "I want to see how long you can hold on."

After dealing with Ye Lingfei, Lu Anning leaned back in his chair feeling a little tired. When he saw Zhong Ling, he suddenly remembered something.

"Zhong Ling, do you still have the link to the low-rent housing you asked me about last time? Send it to me!"

"Team leader, can you still find low-rent housing?"

Low-rent housing is a type of housing specifically vacated by the government for impoverished residents, offering significantly lower rents than the market price. For Mr. Li and his wife, low-rent housing is a perfect fit, offering both an improved living environment and minimal financial burden.

Lu Anning hurried to check, but after get off work he failed to contact Tang Jingyuan, so he went to find Mr. Li and his wife in person and brought them dinner.

When talking about low-rent housing, the two looked confused and had no idea there was such a policy.

"If you're willing, I can help you apply for a two-bedroom apartment. It's definitely enough for the two of you. It'll cost around 500 yuan a month. That's all I can do. You should move out of your original residence and don't tell anyone else. I can also help you find a stable job to support your family. Li Shun won't be able to find you, and your future life won't be too bad. It's up to you to decide whether you're willing or not."

Lu Anning implied that she could help, but they had to draw a clear line between themselves and Li Shun. Otherwise, even if Lu Anning arranged for them to live on the isolated island, the couple would still not be able to survive.

The smiles on the couple's faces froze. Aunt Li was unsure and asked again, "Miss Lu, do you want us to cut off contact with our own son?"

"That's right! My kindness has its limits. If you insist on going down this path, I won't play with you anymore."

Lu Anning smiled faintly, looking cold and distant, completely devoid of the warm-hearted look he had in the morning. The room instantly became quiet.
