Wilderness Romance!

"Black Wind, Tiger."

Lu Pingchuan shouted, and Black Wind Tiger immediately stepped forward, standing on either side of Lu Pingchuan.

Looking at Er Gou, whose fangs were clearly visible, so close at hand, Nie's parents couldn't help but swallow hard.

She knew that Lu Pingchuan wasn't joking with them; he really was capable of unleashing his dogs to bite people.

"Fine, Lu Pingchuan, you win."

Mother Lu gritted her teeth and staggered to her feet: "You all just wait, this isn't over."

"That's right, we'll see how it goes, like reading a script while riding a donkey."

Under the intimidation of Hei Feng and Hu Zi, the three members of the Nie family uttered a few harsh words and finally left Hongqi Village in a sorry state.

Watching her parents' departing figures, Nie Xiaoyu felt a mix of emotions. Her heart was filled with an indescribable bitterness and melancholy. At this moment, she felt no relief, only a heavy sense of desolation and sorrow.

Those were her biological parents who gave her life and raised her; they were the family members she had secretly hoped for from childhood to adulthood, even though she had suffered neglect and injustice.

For money and their son's future, they didn't hesitate to push her into the abyss. They were the ones who were heartless first and left in a sorry state in the end, but it was she who felt the pain in her heart and the bitterness in her soul.

Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. With things having progressed to this point, her kinship with the Nie family was completely severed.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up the dust on the ground and dispelling the last vestige of hope in her heart.

"Good child, you've suffered all these years." Lu's mother stepped forward, her eyes red, and gently embraced Nie Xiaoyu. She only knew that Nie Xiaoyu had a bad life in her family of origin, but she never expected that it would be so precarious.

She gently stroked Nie Xiaoyu's hair and sighed.

"Parents with such inhumanity are better off without. From now on, this is your home, and you are my own daughter."

"That's right, Sister Xiaoyu." Lu Pingchuan also stepped forward: "Although they are your parents, as you have seen, they don't treat you like a daughter at all, and they don't care whether you are doing well or not. It's not worth being sad for these scumbags."

"From now on, you can stay here. With me here and your parents here, no one will dare to bully you anymore, and no one will force you to do anything you don't want to do. You no longer need to be careful and watch people's expressions, and you no longer need to wrong yourself to please anyone."

A warm embrace conveyed genuine comfort, and gentle words soothed her wounded heart.

Nie Xiaoyu nestled in Lu's mother's warm embrace, finally letting out all the pent-up grievances she had suppressed for so long.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever felt such selfless, unconditional love and protection.

The coldness and pain that her family of origin had brought her for more than a decade were finally met with this sudden tenderness.

Lu's mother and Lu Pingchuan remained silent, simply watching Nie Xiaoyu vent her anger.

A few minutes later, Nie Xiaoyu's crying gradually subsided. She slowly raised her head, looked at Lu's mother in front of her, and then at Lu Pingchuan beside her, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Mother, Pingchuan, thank you. It's so good to have you."

"Silly child." Seeing Nie Xiaoyu smile again, Lu's mother was genuinely happy for her: "We're family, why are you being so polite with us?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Pingchuan grinned and said, "We're family, so let's not be formal. From now on, this will be your safe haven. No matter what happens, your parents and I will always stand by your side."

At this moment, Lu's mother suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Lu Pingchuan with a serious expression.

"Xiaochuan, do you still stand by what you just said?"

"Huh?" Lu Pingchuan was slightly taken aback, completely baffled.

Although he didn't understand what his mother meant, he still patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Mother, a real man keeps his word. Every word I say is true."

"You said it yourself. If you don't keep your word, see how I deal with you."

"Come on, Xiaoyu, let's go home."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu's mother pulled Nie Xiaoyu back to the courtyard.

Lu Pingchuan scratched his head, still not understanding what his mother meant.

At this moment, he had long forgotten that in front of Nie's parents, he had embraced Nie Xiaoyu and vowed that Nie Xiaoyu would be his wife in the future.

Just then, his phone rang.

Lu Pingchuan took out his phone and glanced at it. It was Dafei calling, so he answered immediately without hesitation.

"Dafei, what's wrong?"

"Pingchuan, the investigation into Li Cheng's life that you asked us to do has been completed."

"Li Cheng's life is basically a routine of going between three points: the arcade and home. He goes to the bank before it closes in the afternoon, and rarely goes anywhere else."

Lu Pingchuan was slightly taken aback, secretly marveling. He had originally thought that it would be difficult to let Dafei investigate Li Cheng's life trajectory in three days, but he did not expect that he had already investigated it in less than half a day.

"Where is his mother? Which hospital is she in? What illness does she have?"

"His mother always stayed at home, and Li Cheng specially found a family doctor to take her to his home for treatment every few days."

"As for what illness his mother has, it hasn't been determined yet. Should we continue the investigation?"

"No need," Lu Pingchuan refused outright. "Dafei, you did a good job. Keep an eye on Li Cheng."

The reason he asked Dafei to investigate Li Cheng's life was to verify whether the other party was really a filial son. Now it seems that the information provided by Master Zhao was correct.

After all, the fact that a successful person like Li Cheng doesn't indulge in extravagance or pleasure, but instead always goes home, speaks volumes.

In this way, he already had a plan to deal with Li Cheng. He wouldn't say it would be 100% successful, but he was about 80% sure.

At this moment, Lu Pingchuan couldn't wait to take action and put dealing with Luo Sanpao on the agenda immediately.

But thinking about what had just happened, he abandoned the plan.

Nie Xiaoyu had just broken ties with his biological parents, and this was a time when he needed their company. Besides, he was also afraid that the three members of the Nie family might return.

Lu Pingchuan gritted his teeth, secretly hardening his resolve.

Luo Sanpao, just you wait. Starting tomorrow, I will dismantle your power step by step. I will make you pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for the suffering my elder brother endured.
