Lu Fan hugged Jiang Manyue with a guilty expression.
He was thinking that he needed to have a serious talk with that brat Lu Xi.
The renovation noise continued for most of the day, close to lunchtime.
Lu Xi specially bought a lot of food for the workers, intending to treat them well.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, a wealthy woman in her fifties stopped her directly.
Lu Xi was completely bewildered, so she asked a question in return.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Is there something you need?"
"Could you please turn down the noise from your renovation? My son's ears can't take it."
The lady looked arrogant and haughty, holding a Schnauzer in her arms.
Lu Xi found it rather amusing.
"Auntie, the renovation of my house only officially started today. I'm so sorry. Please ask your son to bear with it for a bit."
After the renovation is finished, I will definitely visit you in person to apologize. Is that alright with you?
Upon hearing this, the noblewoman immediately became agitated.
"What? You're actually telling our baby to just bear with it? How can our baby's ears stand that much noise? They can't tolerate even the slightest bit of noise!"
The lady spoke while stroking the Schnauzer in her arms.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi was speechless. So all that talk about her son was about the dog in her arms.
Although I know that in the eyes of wealthy and noble ladies, these pets are their treasures.
But I really didn't expect that he would call me son.
Immediately, Lu Xi glanced at the wealthy woman, then at the dog in her arms.
The Schnauzer bared its teeth, looking as if it was about to bite her.
"Auntie, that's not fair. I had no choice but to do this renovation. I'm sorry, what more do you want?"
Lu Xi also wanted to get this over with as soon as possible; dealing with this kind of thing was truly frustrating.
Upon seeing this, the noblewoman naturally became even more relentless.
“What’s the use of apologizing to me? You have to apologize to our baby today.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi naturally flew into a rage.
I originally wanted to let things go, but I didn't expect this old lady to be so shameless.
Then, her sharp tongue kicked in: "You want me to apologize to you? No way! Dealing with an unreasonable old woman like you!"
"How dare you call me an old woman! How can you be so ill-mannered, young lady!"
Upon hearing this, the noblewoman's face trembled with anger.
Holding the Schnauzer, they were about to start a fight when the two of them began arguing loudly.
Lu Xi, being young, was naturally not willing to be outdone.
He'd never lost a fight. Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle...
Just then, Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue were about to go out to take refuge when they heard a commotion upstairs, so they hurried up.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Fan quickly pulled the two apart.
It would have been better if you hadn't looked at it; once you do, you'll definitely laugh your head off.
The noblewoman's hair was completely messed up by Lu Xi, making her look like a madwoman.
The Schnauzer in her arms also looked defeated, the dog looking utterly miserable.
His eyes continued to glare fiercely at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi was alright, except that her hair was a little messy.
"Lu Xi, you've only been gone for a short while, what are you doing?"
"Why are you blaming me, brother? You haven't even figured out the situation yet." Lu Xi immediately started to feel aggrieved when she saw her helper arrive.
That fierce look he had just displayed had completely vanished.
Jiang Manyue, standing to the side, also thoughtfully apologized to the wealthy woman, who glared at Lu Xi.
"Keep an eye on your wild daughter! Let me tell you, you have to compensate me for emotional distress, labor costs, and lost wages—you can't skimp on any of it!"
"Your dog doesn't need all this, just give her a calming pill, and she'll be fine!" Lu Xi said sarcastically, not wanting to miss a chance to stir up trouble.
Seeing that she was putting in a lot of effort for no good, the lady didn't want to continue the entanglement.
So he picked up his dog son and walked away.
"Hmph, you still can't beat me."
Lu Xi was overjoyed to see the noblewoman looking so victorious after she left.
Lu Fan looked at him with exasperation: "What happened? You got into a fight with your neighbor?"
Lu Xi pouted, looking aggrieved.
"I went out today to buy some food to treat the workers, but this old lady suddenly stopped me and said that the noise from the renovation was disturbing her son."
I was just thinking of asking her son to be patient, but I didn't expect her to be so unreasonable.
She insists I apologize to her son, sister-in-law. How can I possibly tolerate that?
As Lu Xi spoke, she took Jiang Manyue's hand and began to act coquettishly.
She knew that as long as Jiang Manyue was present, Lu Fan wouldn't dare say anything to her.
So whenever Lu Fan scolded her, she would run to Jiang Manyue's side, a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lu Xi's words.
"You brat, you can't stand not causing trouble for a day. Just wait and see, next time her son will seize the opportunity to bite you!"
Lu Fan gritted his teeth and gestured wildly.
Lu Xi was not so easily bullied, and she raised her head: "If it dares to bite me, I'll scratch its face until it's covered in bruises."
"Xixi, you must not do this again next time. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiang Manyue asked softly.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't suffer any loss from this. But that old lady must have suffered a lot. I kept scratching her."
Besides, she struck first; if I let her have her way, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?
Lu Xi has always been one to seek revenge, adhering to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".
"But then again, it's no wonder people complained; the noise was just too loud."
"Your sister-in-law and I are also suffering every day."
Lu Fan felt a chill run down his spine at the thought that his ears were practically calloused from hearing it so much.
This would be unbearable for most people.
Lu Xi listened, looking somewhat troubled.
"I'm so sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it. How can renovations be done without making noise?"
"If you ask me, we should stop for two days, otherwise the neighbors will come up and complain again."
Lu Fan thought about it for a moment and realized that the decoration should be moderate, otherwise no one could stand hearing it all the time.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi immediately started muttering again.
"But if this is done intermittently, I don't know when it will be finished. Wouldn't that waste my time?"
"You brat, don't forget who paid for your renovations."
"Now your brother doesn't even have this much power anymore? Huh?"
Lu Fan grinned wickedly at Lu Xi.
The implication was clear: a threat.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi became timid.
"Okay, okay, I promise you."
