Hunt her

Shen Yi shielded her behind him, his face cold: "If you don't want to get bruised again, I advise you to leave now."

He had already given Zhou Yu a lot of face out of respect for Yan Xu.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Yu's girlfriend stepped forward and pulled him away: "Let's go, don't do this."

"Where are you going!" Zhou Yu shook off his girlfriend's hand. "This woman is my stepsister. What's wrong with yelling at her a couple of times? Her mother lives in my house. Do you think I'm afraid of her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi punched him in the cheekbone without any expression.

Zhou Yu spun around completely before regaining his balance.

He covered his face, looking at Yan Xu in disbelief: "You actually let him hit me? Aren't you afraid your mother will beat you?"

Last time Yan Xu wasn't there, so she just took the beating. Now that she's here, she doesn't even stop it.

Yan Xu sneered, glancing at him disdainfully before turning to Shen Yi with concern: "Does your hand hurt?"

Shen Yi pouted and said, "It hurts, it's all red."

"..." Zhou Yu was speechless. "Big brother, I'm the one who got beaten up, okay? Don't think that just because you're Shen Yi I won't dare to hit you."

As long as Yu Zheng is still in the Zhou family, and as long as Yan Xu listens to Yu Zheng, he can offend anyone related to Yan Xu without restraint.

Because Yu Zheng cleaned up his messes.

Yan Xu glared at Zhou Yu: "I warned you not to mess with him, but you didn't listen. Don't blame me for whatever I do next."

Her condition was more severe than Shen Yi's.

"Let's go home." Yan Xu pulled Shen Yi back.

Zhou Yu wanted to go up and provoke him a bit more, but his girlfriend hugged him tightly: "Don't go, aren't we celebrating New Year's Eve? Let's have a good time, okay?"

Zhou Yu grabbed her neck angrily: "It's all because of you! I'm right here and you're already praising other men. Do you even respect me?"

"I was wrong!" His girlfriend cried out in pain, her face contorted. "Cough cough! Let go."

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and let go.

......

On his way home, Yan Xu remained sullen.

On New Year's Eve, everything was fine, but Zhou Yu's appearance ruined my good mood.

Shen Yi ruffled her hair: "Still thinking about what happened earlier?"

Yan Xu pouted, "It's annoying. We started arguing on the very first day of the new year."

"If you think about other men again, I'll get jealous again." In the elevator, Shen Yi buried his head and kissed him.

Yan Xu's legs went weak from his kiss. She pushed him away, wiped her mouth, and said, "You're like a dog, you actually bit my lips."

She touched her lower lip with the tip of her tongue and felt a slight pain.

This man's possessiveness was so strong that he tried to dominate her mind.

Yan Xu pointed at him: "Behave yourself tonight, and don't touch me!"

"Oh," Shen Yi said, sounding aggrieved. "Fine, I won't touch it then."

When the two opened the door, before they had even changed their shoes, Shen Yi pinned her against the wall, his heavy breathing hitting the back of her neck.

"I won't touch you." He asked her collarbone little by little, his hands slowly moving down.

"..." Yan Xu was furious. "You!"

He was teasing her through the fabric, trying to seduce her even through his boots.

A despicable and cunning man.

Unable to resist his teasing, Yan Xu put her hands on his shoulders and said, "Let's do it on the bed."

"Pfft." Shen Yi chuckled. "Not being stubborn anymore?"

"Shen Yi," Yan Xu gritted her teeth angrily, "Don't force me to slap you now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi obediently carried her into the bathroom to take a shower.

Under the warm yellow light of the bathroom, the two figures were entwined, with the mist from the showerhead partially obscuring their view.

The first night of the new year passed in exhaustion.

......

In the following days, Yan Xu focused on his work, trying every possible way to make things difficult for the Zhou family.

She said she would settle accounts with the Zhou family, and she will definitely keep her word.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shenyi Technology.

Shen Yi was lounging lazily on the sofa, playing on his phone. Ren Mingting sat next to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Your sister-in-law is standing up for you, aren't you going to go along with it?"

Given Shen Yi's personality, anyone who can anger him ends up going bankrupt.

Shen Yi said nonchalantly, "With my wife helping me, why would I need to do anything? There's a saying, 'living off a woman's kindness.' You don't understand what it's like to be protected by your wife."

Ren Mingting's face darkened instantly: "You're lucky, you don't have to go through a family marriage, but I have to be married to the woman I've called brother since childhood. Just thinking about it is annoying."

"Who told you to be unlucky and not meet someone you like?" Shen Yi said casually. "You won again."

He put down his phone: "When is the wedding? Has the date been set?"

"Yeah, the end of next month." Ren Mingting sighed. "They said our horoscopes are most suitable for marriage at the end of next month. Those old folks are just superstitious."

Speaking of superstition, Shen Yi recalled the day he first met Yan Xu at the Guanyin Temple.

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow: "Sometimes you have to believe it."

Just like he didn't expect that when he went to ask Guanyin to let him meet a girl he liked, he met her before he even left the Guanyin Temple.

He met her and they got married in a flash, ending his more than 20 years of single life.

Fate is something you can't always explain.

Ren Mingting didn't want to talk to him about these troublesome things: "Let's go out for a couple of drinks tonight. I need to make the most of my last month of being single."

Shen Yi said seriously, "I need to report to my wife and get her approval first."

"Brother Long!" Ren Mingting couldn't take it anymore. "Give me back the Brother Long you've been dragging around like this. All you ever talk about is 'wife, wife,' I'm sick of hearing it."

Shen Yi, on the other hand, was quite pleased with himself: "Isn't that great? It shows that my wife and I have a good relationship."

"..." Ren Mingting clenched his fists. "I'm leaving! I simply can't stand it here anymore."

Shen Yi opened a social media app: [Baby, my friend invited me to go drinking tonight, can I go?]

He also added a pitiful emoji afterward.

Yan Xu immediately replied, "Okay, but drink less, don't get drunk."

Yes, sir!

Yan Xu put down his phone and glanced at the woman in front of him.

"It seems you haven't come to the company since your grandfather passed away."

Yu Zheng was in a bad mood: "What are you doing here? Watching my dad give you his most valuable assets? And now, you've made a fortune from chip patents and you're starting to cause trouble for your mother."

"When have I ever caused you trouble...? Isn't it always you guys who bully me?"

If Yu Zheng and Yan Shan hadn't gone too far in their actions, her feelings for them wouldn't be as cold as they are now.

Yu Zheng: "Your Uncle Zhou's company is having cash flow problems, is that your doing?"

"Yes." Yan Xu was always decisive and responsible. "I warned you not to cause trouble for Shen Yi, but Zhou Yu didn't listen."

Yu Zheng raised her voice: "You're his sister, can't you be a little more tolerant of him?"

"No!" Yan Xu said, "I didn't wipe out the Zhou family's company this time, so you still have a way out to continue operating. But if there's a next time, I can't guarantee that you'll still be able to live a life of comfort and security."

"You!" Yu Zheng was so angry her head ached. "If my dad hadn't bequeathed all the patents to you in his will, would you be able to boss me around like that now? Let me tell you, I'm your mother, this is unfilial!"

Unfilial piety...

She's been wearing this hat since she was little.

Yan Shan cheated on her, and Yu Zheng blamed her; the two divorced, and Yu Zheng called her a jinx, saying that she was the one who ruined the family.

Unfortunately, she's grown up now.

When I was a child, hearing these words would make me reflect on myself and feel guilty, but now I just feel indifferent.

So be it if they're not filial.

It's better than letting yourself burn out every day and eventually developing anorexia.
