Chapter 244: Another Check

usband woke up. Funny thing was, she didn't even remember when she fell asleep last night; there wasn't a single recollection. She couldn't even remember how she got home. 。Until Auntie Song explaine..."I shouldn't have hit my sister... sniffle...sniffle..." Fu Zixuan couldn't bear the fear of Lu Hanchuan any longer, and burst into tears.

Fu's mother felt even more heartache, and her resentment towards Lu Hanchuan and Fu Xiaoyao deepened in her heart.

She nudged her husband beside her, signaling him to say something.

Father Fu was helpless. He could only sigh inwardly and said to Lu Hanchuan, “Son-in-law, although Zixuan hit Xiaoyao, you also fought back. Why don’t we just let this matter go”

"Impossible, this matter won't just end like this." Lu Hanchuan refused without hesitation.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, then at her father, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Never mind, she'd just be a ghost again.

This was the first time he'd stood up for her, and she didn't stop him.

And she loved how he stood up for her.

"That's not how it ends, what else do you want" Fu's mother was immediately exasperated upon hearing Lu Hanchuan's words, "You beat our Zixuan like this, and I haven't even asked you for compensation yet..."

"Be quiet!" When Fu's father saw Lu Hanchuan's face darken, his heart jumped. He hurriedly rebuked Fu's mother, telling her to shut up.

Mrs. Fu was initially reluctant, but Mr. Fu kept giving her meaningful glances. She wasn't stupid and knew that if she angered Lu Hanchuan further, things would only get worse for them. So, with a begrudging sigh, she closed her mouth.

First, Fu's father let out a sigh of relief, then smiled with a false air, "I apologize, son-in-law, your mother-in-law is just like that."

"I've already learned about Mrs. Fu's temper. Mr. Fu, don't try to pacify me with these words. I just want to know, why did you hit her" Lu Hanchuan pointed at Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao bitterly lowered her head.

She actually had the answer to this question in her heart all along.

It's even more painful because there are answers.

As soon as she stepped into the house, before she could even open her mouth, they started berating her. After their insults, Fu Zixuan slapped her across the face. She didn't get a chance to say a word throughout the entire ordeal. She thought to herself that if Lu Hanchuan hadn't arrived at the crucial moment, she might have suffered more than just a slap.

"This..." Fu's father looked at Fu Xiaoyao with a gloomy expression, then quickly lowered his eyelids, hiding the gloom in his eyes. He sighed and said, "It's not that we want to hit her, it's just that what she did was wrong."

"What did she do wrong" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, asking deliberately.

Father Fu thought he didn't know what happened. His eyes rolled, and with a pained expression, he said, "This girl, she's so unfilial! I asked her to give money for her younger brother's wedding, but she refused to give a penny. Now, because of her, his girlfriend got so angry that she went to the hospital and aborted the child. Son-in-law, what do you think about this Is she right"

Saying that, Fu's father pointed at Fu Xiaoyao with heartache.

Fu Xiaoyao self-deprecatingly closed her eyes and said nothing.

Lu Hanchuan saw this scene, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he moved aside, silently shielding her behind him, "I think she did the right thing!"

"What" Father Fu was startled.

Mrs. Fu was even more incredulous, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Even Fu Zixuan couldn't bring himself to whimper, his heart filled with a burning sense of injustice.

"How is that" Lu Hanchuan saw this family of three looking at him with disbelief, his thin lips curled coldly, "Did I say something wrong"

"No, son-in-law." Mr. Fu reacted first. "Son-in-law, I just said this girl..."

"No need to repeat it, I heard you clearly. But in my opinion, she did nothing wrong and even did the right thing. She's just a sister, Fu Zixuan is getting married, what does it have to do with her Shouldn't the parents be the ones giving the money" Lu Hanchuan crossed his arms.

Fu's father was taken aback, "But... but she is Zixuan's older sister! She's so wealthy, shouldn't she give it"

“She is wealthy, but the money came from me. Without my permission, she can’t give it to anyone else. However, you two parents are incredibly shameless. You suck your daughter's blood so naturally.” Lu Hanchuan scanned their faces with full mockery.

Mother Fu and Fu Zixuan didn't react to this. In their view, this money should be given to them by Fu Xiaoyao.

On the contrary, Fu's father flushed with anger and shame.

"You say that Fu Zixuan's girlfriend getting rid of the child is Fu Xiaoyao's fault, then I ask you, was the child Fu Xiaoyao's" Lu Hanchuan spoke again.

However, no one answered.

Only Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help rolling her eyes, finding it rather amusing.

He uses this metaphor to ask, what does it mean for a child to be hers

Can a woman, get another woman pregnant

"Since the child isn't Fu Xiaoyao's, why are you blaming her Just because she didn't give money But I just said she has no obligation to give money. It's your obligation, you as parents are incapable, you can't even afford the money and ended up with your grandson gone. So the real wrongdoers are you!"

Lu Hanchuan extended his finger, pointing one by one over Fu's father and mother's faces, finally stopping the tip of his finger on Fu Zixuan's face.

Fu Zixuan, after that just now, was terrified of Lu Hanchuan to the extreme. He didn't dare to look at him at all. Seeing him pointing at himself, he immediately screamed and ran back to his room.

When seeing their son abandon them, Mr. and Mrs. Fu were instantly furious, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They only had this one son. Though they were angry that their son had run away, they couldn't bring themselves to hold a grudge against him. They simply couldn't do it.

"Son-in-law, I know we've made mistakes too, but we just don't have the money. If we did, of course, we would happily give it to Zixuan for his wedding. It's because we can't afford it that we asked Xiaoyao for help, but after several requests, she hasn't budged." Fu mother kicked the ball back to Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't hold back either, stepping out from behind Lu Hanchuan, "If Zixuan gets married, if you ask me for one or two million, I'd definitely give it to you without hesitation. But you're asking for over a million, where am I supposed to get that"

"Didn't your son-in-law just say that he gave you the money" Fu's mother insisted.

Fu Xiaoyao was about to retort when Lu Hanzchuan raised his hand. "Did you hear what I just said It's me who doesn't allow her to give it to you."

Fu's mother's expression instantly stiffened.

Father Fu coughed twice, easing the awkwardness of the moment. "Son-in-law, although we..."

"Alright," Lu Hanchuan impatiently interrupted him, "I don't want to hear this. It all boils down to you wanting money or blaming everything on Fu Xiaoyao, right"

Now, even Fu's father looked stiff-faced.

He never would have thought that his son-in-law was so unyielding and so biting with his words. While everything he said was the truth, it lacked any courtesy or consideration for others' feelings.

"I'm warning you for the last time, your grandchildren are gone because of your incompetence and greed, it has nothing to do with Fu Xiaoyao. Don't ever let me hear you blaming her again, or I will make sure your Fu family suffers the consequences, understand" Lu Hanchuan said coldly.

Mrs. Fu was a typical pushover, and she was also a coward, how could she dare not agree She nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

Only Father Fu, with a hint of unwillingness, tucked his hands behind his back and clenched them tightly into fists. But on his face, he responded with a smile, "I understand."

"Just be aware of that." Lu Hanchuan let out a cold snort, then took out a checkbook from his suit pocket. He quickly wrote down an amount and tore off the check, dropping it at Fu's father's feet. "This money should last you for a while."

Upon hearing that there was money, Fu's parents' eyes lit up. They hurriedly picked up the check and, upon seeing the amount, gasped in astonishment. Immediately following this was their undisguised satisfaction.

Fu Xiaoyao saw her parents looking so greedy, she felt very disgusted. She tugged at Lu Hanchuan's sleeve, "How do you give them money" your classmates like this, understand"Su Su's eyes were red-rimmed, and she reluctantly hummed in response, but her heart was filled with resentment.She never liked Xiao Bao back then.At that time, X...
