Ning Xi dropped the electric scooter and ran upstairs.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I heard the familiar curse, "Bitch! Give me money, or not!"

Ning Xi's anger reached its peak. She picked up a mop from the stairwell, rushed to the third floor, and kicked open the half-closed door.

"Aunt! Zhao Haicheng, let her go!"

Her aunt Ning Lan was being pinned down by her uncle Zhao Haicheng, who was slapping her madly.

Ning Xi rushed forward, hit Zhao Haicheng on the back with a stick, and kicked him off Ning Lan's body.

Not only that, she also stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Haicheng's hair, and slapped him several times.

Zhao Haicheng screamed in pain after being beaten. He finally broke free and stood up, cursing, "You ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for my Zhao family taking you sisters in, feeding you, and clothing you, you would have died out there! You're repaying kindness with hatred by hitting me! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to sue you!"

Ning Xi stared at him intently, "Go ahead! If you don't go, you're a dog!"

Ning Xi is not afraid of him. This uncle is a scumbag who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

As for the claim that the Zhao family adopted them, they were brought back by their aunt from the very beginning. This house was also allocated by their aunt from her work. The money they used to eat and drink when they were young was also left by their parents. It had nothing to do with the Zhao family!

Sure enough, seeing Ning Xi's fierce eyes, Zhao Haicheng became scared.

He couldn't help but recall that Ning Xi used to be a cruel girl. She dared to fight with him when she was a teenager. Later, she even learned Muay Thai and pinned him to the ground and rubbed him.

Suddenly, he felt even more pain!

"Don't think I'm afraid of you! Just wait!"

Zhao Haicheng glared at Ning Xi and said something harsh, then ran away without waiting for her to say anything.

Ning Xi suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Auntie, how are you?"

She supported Ning Lan and saw her red and swollen cheeks. Her heart ached and her anger rose again.

"I'm fine, just superficial injuries."

Ning Lan shook her head, then saw quite a few people standing at the door and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself again."

"Ah, I'm glad you're okay. This Zhao Haicheng is such a scoundrel!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The people at the door were all old neighbors, and they knew everything about the Zhao family.

It’s just that Zhao Haicheng is too shameless, and they don’t dare to stand up for Ning Lan for fear of causing trouble. They can only curse him now.

Ning Lan didn't blame them. After saying a few polite words, she let Ning Xi close the door.

"Aunt, let me go to the hospital with you."

"It's okay, it's just a wound on my face. It will be fine after applying some medicine." Ning Lan waved her hand, not wanting to spend money indiscriminately.

"Auntie..." Ning Xi opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her to divorce again.

But Ning Lan hurriedly said, "Oh, Shuo Shuo was sleeping just now. I don't know if he was woken up and scared. Go and check it out."

When Shuo Shuo was mentioned, Ning Xi's heart began to lift. She quickly asked Ning Lan to sit down and went to the bedroom to check.

As soon as Ning Xi entered the bedroom and saw that there was no one on the bed, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Then, in the corner of the bed, I saw a child hugging his knees and shivering with his head down.

"Shuo Shuo!" Ning Xi hurried over and hugged him, "Shuo Shuo, don't be afraid. Your aunt is here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Shuo Shuo was traumatized after witnessing his parents' car accident. Not only did he become sensitive, he also developed aphasia.

She hugged the child tightly and comforted him for a long time before she felt the trembling little body relax slightly.

"Xixi, how is Shuoshuo?" Ning Lan also came over.

Ning Xi hugged Shuo Shuo and stood up and said, "It's okay, I was just scared."

Ning Lan's face was full of guilt, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let that bastard make a fuss." As a result, the child was scared.

Ning Xi looked at her and knew that she meant to give Zhao Haicheng money, because Zhao Haicheng always asked for money every time he beat someone up.

But this approach, which only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, will only whet Zhao Haicheng's appetite.

However, Ning Lan obviously didn't want to talk about divorce, so she could only keep her thoughts to herself.

After comforting Shuo Shuo and examining Ning Lan, Ning Xi was finally relieved to confirm that it was only a superficial injury.

Then, after careful consideration, she told Ning Lan about the marriage.

Although this marriage will not last long, Ning Lan will definitely notice it when she completes the adoption procedures. It would be better to tell her now than to tell her then.

Of course, in order to avoid Ning Lan worrying, she would definitely not tell her about the arranged marriage.

However, Ning Lan was still shocked.

"Get married? To whom? Why are you getting married suddenly?" Ning Lan stared at her with her swollen eyes wide open.

Ning Xi was about to introduce Qin Yan to her, but Ning Lan asked again, "Is it Sun Yu? Did he come back to see you?"

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard the name, but then she quickly covered it up and shook her head, saying, "No, his name is Qin Yan. He's a very good person and treats me very well. I felt that we got along well, so we got married."

Ning Lan looked at her calm expression and felt that something was not right.

But Ning Xi continued, "Aunt, I'm almost the same age, and the other party is two years older than me. We are serious about this, don't worry."

"That being said, but..."

"Auntie, please believe me, I won't do anything rash."

Ning Lan opened her mouth, still feeling uneasy, but the matter was done, and she knew that Ning Xi was more opinionated than her, so no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

It can only be changed into a sigh.

"From now on, let Shuo Shuo live with me. Don't take him over." Ning Lan said finally.

"No need. I told Qin Yan about Shuo Shuo before we got married, and he agreed that I could live with Shuo Shuo."

This is the truth. She and Qin Yan mentioned Shuo Shuo, and he really didn't care.

Of course, it could also be because he didn't intend to be with her for a long time from the beginning.

"Is this okay? No, let me take care of Shuo Shuo. Even if he agrees, will his family agree later? When you have your own children, he..."

Because of her own experience, Ning Lan was very worried that the person Ning Xi was looking for might be the same as Zhao Haicheng.

"Don't worry, auntie, he's not that kind of person."

"Men will change. They will be different after they have their own children." Ning Lan was still worried.

"If he changes, then I will divorce him! I know what I want and I'm not afraid to leave him."

"...Oh, forget it. As long as you don't suffer any loss, it's fine. When you have time, bring the person to your aunt to see." Ning Lan shook her head and said nothing more.

"good."

Ning Xi waited until dark, but Zhao Haicheng didn't come back. Ning Lan, considering that she was married, advised her to go home early.

Ning Xi was worried at first, but Ning Lan refused to let her stay no matter what, so she could only take Shuo Shuo back first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at her apartment, she saw a tall figure standing at the entrance. "New book, new atmosphere! If you like it, please like it, collect it, like it, and leave a comment!"
