The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 116 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
Xia Zhi didn't say anything, just watched silently. She was waiting for Lu Yan'an to finish packing her luggage so she could take her to the old house to see her old friends.

Lu Weifeng scolded Lu Yan'an a few times, and his eyes were filled with restraint when he looked at Xia Zhi. He felt guilty towards his son. This woman not only didn't manage the household, but she also fooled around outside like a man every day.

Xia Zhi pretended not to see the look Lu Weifeng was giving her.

Lu Yan'an lowered her head and went into her small room to quickly pack a few changes of clothes. She came out and glanced at Xia Zhi, "Sister-in-law, I'm all packed. Let's go back."

"Lu Yan'an! Didn't you hear what I said? Your father is still here. I'm telling you, if you really leave this door, don't come back!"

Lu Weifeng was so angry that he felt dizzy. He sat down on a stool next to him, holding his head. Neither of his son nor his daughter was behaving properly. It was bad enough that his son was always away from home, but now his daughter had been led astray as well.

Lu Yan'an gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. "If I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back. I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

She didn't want to go back to that suffocating home.

Xia Zhi turned and walked outside. Lu Yan'an hurriedly followed, afraid that she would be left behind if she was even a second late. Behind her, there were still the cries of Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan, and the curses they were spewing were getting dirtier and dirtier.

"I told you from the beginning that we shouldn't have sent her to school, and now look what's happened, she's all grown up!"

"I should have found her a good family to marry into; she's such a worry."

Xia Zhi turned to look at Lu Yan'an, who was biting her lower lip and had tears welling up in her eyes, and asked, "Where is your Lu family's old house?"

Lu Yan'an wiped away her tears. "Sister-in-law, let me take you there."

Lu Yan'an led Xia Zhi to a secluded house, where they could hear arguing from afar.

"Hao Liping, are you out of your mind? Why didn't you marry Lu Beiting, a perfectly good man, and instead married someone like Gu Yunshen? Are you satisfied with the current situation of our family?"

Chen Xiuping had already suffered humiliation at the Lu family's place, and when she returned, she kept cursing at Hao Liping. She shouldn't have listened to the child in the first place; she should have been more assertive, and things wouldn't have come to this.

Upon hearing Chen Xiuping mention her son, Zhang Xiao immediately became displeased and started arguing back, hands on her hips, "Hey, what are you saying? I haven't even said that Hao Liping is a jinx to husbands. Look at my Yun Shen ever since he got together with her, he's been exactly the same. Now he can't even concentrate on his studies."

"When Yun Shen and Xia Zhi were together before, things were never like this!"

Zhang Xiao scolded without any politeness. When Xia Zhi was around, their family lived a really good life. She didn't have to worry about anything. Xia Zhi could manage the house and everything else perfectly on her own.

Ever since he got together with Hao Liping, things have gotten worse day by day. He can't even cook anymore, and he keeps talking about making a lot of money, but his life is a complete mess.

The last incident wasn't entirely her fault. If she hadn't blurted things out, they wouldn't be here having to put up with her attitude.

Hao Liping stood to the side, her face pale, listening to her relatives scolding her, and then to her mother-in-law, who had only been married into the family for a short time, scolding her as well.

He glanced at Gu Yun Shen, who was standing to the side.

When Gu Yun Shen saw her looking at him, he coldly looked away. His mother was absolutely right; there hadn't been so many problems when Xia Zhi was around.

When Hao Liping saw his attitude, her heart sank.

"Gu Yunshen, what kind of look is that? So even you are blaming me?" Hao Liping swayed, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Gu Yun Shen frowned slightly, his tone stern, "Instead of thinking about tidying up the house, what's the point of getting caught up in this? Instead of arguing about who wins, you should think about the future."

Both sides fell silent upon hearing his words, and sat down dejectedly.

Yes, what's the point of them making such a big fuss now? It won't change the situation.

Xia Zhi and Lu Yan'an listened outside the wall for a while. Xia Zhi then pulled Lu Yan'an to a secluded grove of trees. "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Lu Yan'an could only nod, then watched her departing figure with some worry.

"Hey, long time no see! Looks like you're all doing pretty well."

Xia Zhi leaned against the door, holding a wooden stick, and looked around the Lu family's old house. It could provide shelter from the wind and rain, but there wasn't much else.

The moment they saw Xia Zhi, all the anger in everyone's hearts was focused on her alone.

"Xia Zhi, how dare you come here!" Hao Liping stared at the woman in front of her with eyes wide with rage.

Xia Zhi shrugged at the angry group. "Didn't I say? We haven't settled our score yet."

A single sentence jolted the people present awake, and the anger in their eyes gradually turned into fear, causing them to involuntarily take a few steps back.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you, murder is illegal!"

Xia Zhi smiled upon hearing Gu Chonglin's words, "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? These days, arresting people requires evidence."

The group was so frightened by her words that they couldn't say anything. The Lu family's old house was so remote that there wasn't a soul around.

Xia Zhi yawned, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll go very lightly!"

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

Worried about Xia Zhi, Lu Yan'an had only gotten a little closer when she heard a pig-like scream coming from inside. She was so frightened that she shrank back and crouched down to peek through the gap.

Xia Zhi's face was cold as she mercilessly struck Gu Yun Shen's leg with a wooden stick in her hand.

"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, you can't... Ah!"

Before Gu Yun Shen could finish speaking, a piercing pain shot through his leg.

"Yun Shen!"

Zhang Xiao and Gu Chonglin were also frightened. They stepped forward to help, but they still took several solid hits and were in pain, grimacing in pain.

Xia Zhi knew how to use different strengths and weaknesses. She usually treated patients who could be cured at a hospital or clinic, but she made sure to inflict some pain on them beforehand.

Lu Yan'an was so frightened by the horrific scene that she covered her mouth.

A few minutes later, apart from Hao Dazhuang, who was already injured, everyone else had been beaten.

Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow as she looked at the people groaning in pain on the ground. "Awesome!"

Xia Zhi tossed out a few ten-yuan bills, then said coldly, "I said I'll pay for the medical expenses. And if you want to report me or sue me, that's fine, as long as you can provide evidence. If you can't, I don't know what I'll do next time."

One sentence instantly dispelled the ulterior motives in their minds.

He could only watch with resentment and unwillingness as Xia Zhi bent down, picked up the stick from the ground, and walked outside.
