Chapter 1166 I have something to show you
Lu Xi asked who saved Fang Min, but she only said it was a pretty girl who looked young.
Fang Min's car had been tampered with and the brakes failed. The girl used her own car to stop Fang Min's car, then called an ambulance and disappeared.
It was too dark at night and the street lights were malfunctioning, so I didn't get a picture of the girl.
Lu Xi had a vague feeling that the girl who saved Fang Min was not an accident. Of course, this was just a hunch, it made no sense, it was just an illogical guess.
Putting away her thoughts, she turned the topic back to work, "Ah? Sister Xiaomin will not start working until September? That's almost two months."
Ding Yu nodded, "Yeah, yes. But she really should take a break."
Fu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Are you accusing me of exploiting Secretary Fang?"
Ding Yu was horrified. "How dare I? Fang Min and I work hard, but we also earn a lot. I said we should take a break, not because we feel tired. It's because..." After a pause, Ding Yu laughed dryly, obviously feeling guilty. "Actually, I also want to take a break for two months, firstly, to accompany her well, and secondly, to find time to get married."
Fu Nanzhou's eyes flickered with surprise, and Lu Xi's eyes widened, "Brother Ding, are you and Sister Xiaomin going to get married?"
Ding Yu smiled, "For now, I have these plans, but I don't know what she thinks. Her parents came a few days ago and kept urging her to get married. Fang Min was so angry that she sent her parents back to her hometown."
Lu Xi knew Fang Min didn't want to get married, "Then how are you going to get married?"
Ding Yu laughed confidently, "How else can we get married? Just cling on. Isn't there a saying that goes 'a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man'? She's not really that afraid of marriage. She just didn't want to get married because she was too ambitious about her career."
Lu Xi nodded, "Okay, then you do your best."
But after getting off the car at the Shen family villa, Lu Xi asked in a low voice: "Do you think Brother Ding and Sister Xiaomin can get married?"
Fu Nanzhou chuckled, "I don't know. I only care about their work ability and have no interest in their private lives."
Lu Xi was very gossipy, "Let me tell you, I don't think it's that easy. One time when we were having a meal, I was chatting with Sister Xiao Min, and she said that she didn't have the slightest idea of getting married, and she felt that marriage was a grave.
"She is a college classmate of mine. She and her boyfriend dated from campus to wedding, and they dated for eight years before getting married. Isn't this a strong relationship?
"But what is the result? After marriage, the woman takes on all the housework. She gets up at 5:30 in the morning to cook for her husband and bring lunch because her husband has a bad stomach and cannot eat in the cafeteria. After lunch, the woman has to clean up the house before going to work. In the evening, she goes home to buy groceries and cook. After washing the dishes and cleaning up, she takes a bath and goes to bed. She is so tired that she doesn't want to do anything.
"But she even washes her husband's socks and underwear. When they were dating, they were in love and thought it was sweet to wash each other's underwear, so it became a habit over time. Every time the man acts like a spoiled child, the woman is completely helpless.
"Later, the woman got pregnant and had a baby. Her mother-in-law also took care of the baby, so the woman quit her job and started taking care of the baby while making videos as a side job. Whenever the parents on both sides of the family got sick, it was all her responsibility. She registered them, took them to the hospital, and occasionally had to cook for more than ten people at gatherings. In short, everything was her responsibility.
"That woman said that if she were to go back ten years, she would definitely not have a boyfriend, let alone have children. She would always tell Xiao Min, 'Look how good it is to be single? You can stay single, earn your own money and spend it yourself, and you only need to take care of the two elderly people. You don't have a husband or children, and you can have fun anytime, anywhere.'"
After hearing the end, Fu Nanzhou couldn't help but sigh, "It's even made into a jingle?"
"Yes, that's why so many people don't get married nowadays. This is the truth." Lu Xi curled her lips.
Fu Nanzhou paused, his expression a little nervous, "Do you regret getting married?"
Lu Xibai said to him, "I didn't say that. I'm actually well off and have a stable life, so marriage and children can add icing on the cake to my life. But for most women, marriage is a burden, a worry, and a compromise."
Fu Nanzhou nodded, "Mrs. Fu is absolutely right, and the summary is spot on."
He did not have the airs of a wealthy family's leader. Although he did not like it, he would chat about family matters with Lu Xi like other couples and listen to his young wife's mumbling.
In the past, he would have thought this was too dull and boring, but there is a saying that is very true, "How can life be the same no matter who you are with?" Because the other person is Lu Xi, even if it is just about trivial matters, it has become a lot more interesting and has become a spice of his life.
When they returned to the villa, the old couple Shen Yuntian and Jin Xiuxiu were teasing little Jiabao, and Shen Mo had just come down from upstairs.
Lu Xi greeted her grandparents and called them "brother". Before she and Fu Nanzhou went to find Wei Zheng, her brother happened to have an emergency to deal with and had been in the study, so they didn't see Shen Mo.
Shen Mo didn't wear glasses. The marks left by the nose pads were clearly visible on his nose bridge. His face was also tired. "Did you go to see Wei Zheng?"
"Ah."
Shen Mo rubbed her head, "Nothing wrong?"
In Shen Mo's eyes, Lu Xi was a child who needed to be pampered, so no matter how tired he was, he would feel much more relaxed when he saw his sister.
Lu Xi smiled, "Of course not. My sister even avenged my mother and slapped Wei Zheng."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the villa was stunned and a little bit unbelievable. After all, Wei Zheng was already old, and they didn't expect that Shen Pingting would actually hit Wei Zheng.
But after the surprise, they felt refreshed, especially Old Madam Shen, who immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, it has to be our Pingting, that's right!"
"Wei Zheng won't bother me anymore in the future." Lu Xi specifically mentioned Rong Jin's matter, and emphasized that it was Fu Nanzhou who asked Rong Jin to go, somewhat to give Fu Nanzhou face.
Shen Yuntian gave a thumbs up and said, "Nanzhou, Grandpa likes you."
Old Madam Shen also nodded with both hands, "My grandson-in-law really impressed me, hahahaha."
Fu Nanzhou smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, you are too kind."
Shen Yuntian asked: "What about Pingting? Why didn't she come back?"
Lu Xi said: "She is with Rong Jin."
The old couple were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and sighed slightly, "The matter between this child and Liangchuan is also worrying."
Jin Xiuxiu curled her lips, "That brat from the Ji family is not suitable for our Puff."
"What's wrong with that? The kid is narcissistic, but he has many good qualities. The fact that he risked his life to save Pingting shows that he likes her."
"He risked his life to save her, so what? Pingting should marry him just because he saved her life? I don't want Pingting to be so stupid. If Pingting really likes him, I'd be happy to see it, but she can't sacrifice her whole life just to repay a favor. Our Pingting deserves to be loved, and I also hope she will marry the one she loves."
Lu Xi did not interfere and let her sister decide on her own feelings.
**
Shen Pingting sent Rong Jin back to her residence. Just as she was about to leave, a warm hand grabbed her wrist, "Don't go."
Recently, Shen Pingting and Rong Jin have been in contact more frequently, but not to such an intimate level.
"Rong Jin, I'm..."
Before Shen Pingting could finish, Rong Jin interrupted her and said, "I have something to show you."
"What?" Shen Pingting frowned slightly. Rong Jin only asked her to take him to a place, and she thought it was just to find Wei Zheng.
