Lu Siqiao called Mo Yan and, with some tonics, headed to the Luo family.
Beforehand, she called Su Mushen to explain her purpose.
Upon arriving at the Luo family home, not only was Su Muyao's husband Luo Zhongcheng present, but also his mother, Old Lady Yao.
What's even more ridiculous is that Li Rou's mean-spirited grandmother, Old Lady Zhong, was also there.
They are all tenants of No. 2 Longxing Road, and they often come over to chat.
"You brat, so it was you who bumped into Mu Yao! You have no sense of public morality at all. You didn't even take her to see a doctor after you bumped into her. What if something had happened to her? How would you compensate her then!" Because she couldn't get the money, Old Mrs. Zhong harbored resentment towards Lu Siqiao. When she saw Lu Siqiao, her heart twisted, and she immediately launched into a tirade.
Lu Siqiao was both amused and exasperated; she could see this old lady everywhere.
"Madam, we were going to take her to the hospital for a full check-up last night, but she refused," Mo Yan said righteously. "Don't lie to me like that."
Grandma Zhong wanted to retaliate, but Grandma Yao stopped her and advised, "Sister, it's really not their fault. It was our daughter Yao who said she didn't want to go to the hospital."
Just when Lu Siqiao thought that Old Madam Yao was a reasonable person, she didn't expect her to say again: "However, sensible people will leave some money for emergencies. But you just left. If something happens to my Ayao, you will be murderers."
Lu Siqiao said calmly, "It's not too late now. I brought my family doctor with me, so let him examine Sister Muyao. We will never shirk our responsibilities."
Upon hearing that she was going to call the family doctor in, Old Mrs. Yao's expression changed, and she declined, saying, "Hmph, by the time your doctor arrives, it'll be too late."
Luo Zhongcheng came out from the inner room, glared at the old lady, and said to Lu Siqiao with a smile, "Miss Lu is here. Don't listen to what my grandma said. She doesn't know the situation and is just talking nonsense. Ayao is fine, just a scrape."
Seeing her grandson's attitude change drastically, Grandma Yao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Go, go, go do what you're supposed to do." Luo Zhongcheng shooed her out, and also called Old Lady Zhong out.
"Come, please sit down." Luo Zhongcheng welcomed Lu Siqiao and the others into the hall and offered them fruit.
Lu Siqiao and Mo Yan exchanged a glance and smiled, "Mr. Luo, where is Sister Mu Yao?"
"She went to buy groceries and will be back in a bit." Luo Zhongcheng said with a smile, sitting down to the side and saying politely, "I apologize for not entertaining you well last night."
"By the way, I've never heard Mu Yao mention knowing you before. Did you two meet in City A?" He couldn't wait to find out about their relationship.
Lu Siqiao smiled and said, "To be precise, I know Sister Mu Yao, but she doesn't know me."
She made up some random excuse, which immediately killed the conversation.
Luo Zhongcheng could clearly tell that she didn't want to talk to him, and he gave a sullen smile.
Fortunately, Su Muyao and her brother returned.
Upon seeing Lu Siqiao, Su Mushen perked up and quickly took the groceries from Su Muyao's hands, urging, "Sister, you talk to Qiaowa, I'll go cook."
When Su Muyao saw that Lu Siqiao had brought a lot of nutritional supplements, she quickly said, "Miss Lu, you are too kind. I am in good health, so you don't need to worry."
Su Mushen must have told them about her identity. Hearing her refer to her as Miss Lu, Lu Siqiao smiled and said, "Sister Muyao, you can just call me Qiaowa."
Seeing that she seemed quite familiar with her, Su Muyao was equally curious about where they had met.
“I’ve seen you in City A before. You’ve been to a psychological counseling center before…” Lu Siqiao deliberately hesitated.
Upon hearing the word "psychological counseling room," Su Muyao's face drained of color. She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I see."
On the contrary, Luo Zhongcheng, who was standing to the side, was quite embarrassed and made an excuse to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at Su Muyao.
Lu Siqiao did not miss the look of terror in Su Muyao's eyes.
"Sister Muyao, I remember your dream was to become an excellent psychological counselor and help people in need."
After Luo Zhongcheng left, Lu Siqiao looked at Su Muyao and said seriously, "I hope you can stand up, testify against Luo Zhongcheng for domestic violence against you, divorce him, and start a new life."
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao stood up in fright, her face pale, staring intently at her: "Who exactly are you?" She actually knew about the domestic violence she suffered; could it be that she saw the bruises on her body last night?
Thinking of this, she quickly said, "Jova, actually I didn't, I'm not—"
“No, it is you!” Lu Siqiao also stood up. Although she was not as tall as Su Muyao, she had a stronger presence. “Domestic violence is either zero times or countless times. If you are willing, I can help you.”
Su Muyao's eyes reddened, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Su Mushen, who had been hiding behind the kitchen, came out and looked at Lu Siqiao in disbelief: "Lu Siqiao, you actually instigated my sister to get a divorce!"
Mo Yan glanced at him and said coldly, "Su Mushen, right now your own sister is being bullied. Do you want her to be beaten to death?" However, Qiao Wa is too amazing. She actually saw it once and concluded that Su Muyao was being abused by her family.
Su Muyao clenched her fists and after a long while said, "No, I won't get a divorce, Qiaowa. I'm very grateful that you came to see me. Don't come again." After saying that, she tried to shoo Lu Siqiao out.
Lu Siqiao grasped her hand in return, and in full view of everyone, rolled up her sleeves, revealing a dense network of bruises and a shocking knife scar on her wrist.
Clearly, her compromise did not lead to any change in Luo Zhongcheng; instead, he became even more ruthless.
"Do you want to use your death to fulfill that scumbag's wishes?" Lu Siqiao said coldly. "You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you. If you don't break off your relationship with him, your life will be ruined."
“Sister Muyao, Qiaowa is genuinely looking out for you. That Luo fellow is no good. If you're worried about retaliation, we can all help you,” Mo Yan added, stepping forward to offer her advice.
Su Muyao slumped into a chair, looking exhausted. She stared blankly at Su Mushen and sobbed, "Luo Zhongcheng said that if I dared to leave him, he would kill my family! He's a complete madman!"
Su Mushen never expected that the threats she endured were all for the sake of protecting them.
"Sister, you're so foolish. What would Mom and I do if anything happened to you?" He hugged her tenderly, his eyes red.
“Men who threaten violence at the drop of a hat are mostly just bluffing,” Lu Siqiao analyzed. “Once you have the evidence, you can file for divorce. If he dares to do something reckless again, you can send him straight to jail!”
Su Muyao smiled sadly: "If only it were that simple."
She told Su Mushen to wait at the door.
He turned and went into the inner room, took out some photos and handed them to Lu Siqiao.
When Lu Siqiao looked at it, she was surprised to see that it was a photo of Su Muyao embracing another man.
"He used these photos to threaten me, demanding that I obey him and never get a divorce!"
