xu jiamu didnât know that duan linbai had been going around in the group and weibo after he fell asleep.
at this time, everyone in the capital knew that mr. duan was in a good mood. in addition, someone revealed that he had booked the entire top floor last night and prepared a romantic candlelight dinner, so there were rumors that he had proposed to xu jiamu.
however, only the people involved knew the details.
previously, many people had wanted to see the two make a fool of themselves since their family backgrounds were so different. however, after such a long time, their relationship was still stable. however, duan linâs white-haired weibo barely mentioned xu jiamu, so some people went to the bottom and said, â
[ duan linbai is so cool, but he hasnât shown off his girlfriend. could it be that theyâve broken up? ]
duan linbai immediately retorted, [ my wife, why should i show you? ]
it was so childish that it was laughable.

at duan linbaiâs age, he couldnât be called an internet-addicted teenager anymore. calling him an internet-addicted uncle wasnât fun either. he surfed the internet in the middle of the night and even went out in high spirits the next day.
he said he was going to the mall to prepare a table of good food for xu xin.
it was a rare weekend for xu jiamu, but his biological clock was like this. he woke up at eight in the morning and had breakfast on the table. duan linbai even sent him a message, telling him to heat it up in the microwave and eat it.
while she was eating breakfast, she heard the doorbell ring.
originally, the duan family still had the cleaning auntie, but duan linbai had given her a holiday. at this time, there was no one around. she hesitated but still opened the door. the security here was very good, and those who could enter the community were definitely not bad people.
the moment she opened the door, the manâs tall figure at the door shrouded her against the light, giving her an invisible sense of oppression.
âhello,â he said. he spoke first. â iâm here to look for young master duan. i called him. â
âheâs not at home. you guys come in and have a seat.â xu jiamu saw him carrying a briefcase and a few people behind him. they were all dressed like elites and of all ages, but they didnât look like bad people.
âthank you,â he said.
after the group entered the house, xu jiamu poured them some water before he received duan linbaiâs call.
originally, he didnât have any work today, but he had something to do at the last minute.
âiâll be home soon.â
âyes.â xu jiamu felt a little weird facing a large group of men alone. although they didnât look at her openly, their eyes drifted around before finally landing on her.
âoh right, one of them is hanchuanâs brother-in-law. be careful.â
jing hanchuanâs brother-in-law? didnât that mean he was from the xu family of lingnan?
xu jiamuâs gaze swept across the crowd, and finally landed on the man heâd just been talking to. he was wearing a proper, tight-fitting suit, his eyes deep and dark, without a trace of dust. although his eyes were handsome, they were reserved ...
he didnât look like someone to be trifled with.
in fact, duan linbai was the one who brought this ill-fated relationship onto himself.
in order to help jing hanchuan, he had contracted a project to xu shunqinâs design institute, which had caused him to stay in the capital for a long time.
it was inevitable that they would have some interactions at work.
duan linbai was serious at work, but he had his own style when he spoke. he liked to joke sometimes, but xu shunqin just stared at him without a smile ...
the way he looked at her was like a living retard!
it was too rigid and boring!
he was completely different from xu yao. xu yao was always disdainful, but he could not do anything with a stick.
it was easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. if duan linbai had known this earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.
xu jiamu couldnât just stand there, so he had to talk to them.
they didnât know each other well, and the questions were basically about the school xu jiamu graduated from, the major he studied, and so on. they would also ask when she would have good news with duan linbai, and they would beat around the bush to ask about her family situation ...
this group of people were all smart and spoke very tactfully. their family backgrounds were very different, so some people didnât think highly of the two.
although xu jiamu was smiling as he dealt with the bunch of monsters, he still felt uncomfortable deep down.
xu shunqin, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up.âmiss xu, have you been to lingnan before?â
xu jiamu paused, then nodded slightly.
â iâve heard grandpa mention it before. he said that youâre outstanding. weâre all relatives. miss xu, youâre in the capital, so you can go and visit more often. â
xu shunqinâs words carried too much information.
a relative of the xu family of lingnan? and even caught the old masterâs eye? the group of people looked at her in a different light.
soon, duan linbai came back. the group went straight into the study and only came out after a long time. xu shunqin had a special relationship with jing hanchuan, and it happened to be mealtime, so he asked him to stay for dinner.
xu shunqin couldnât resist his enthusiasm and could only nod.
âiâm cooking today. youâre in luck.â
xu shunqinâs body stiffened. was it too late for him to go back?

xu yuanfei had been with the jing family when she received a text message from her brother, asking her to call him in ten minutes.
she knew in her heart that her brother had deliberately avoided calling her.
he said he was going to the duan family today, so why couldnât he leave?
âwhatâs wrong?â jing hanchuan asked when he saw that she was in a daze.
âmy brother is probably being held back by young master duan.â
â that guy seemed to be on steroids last night. he probably wants to kiss anyone he catches today. â
xu yuanfei was speechless.
then wouldnât his big brother be in danger?
âdonât worry, he doesnât dare to touch big brother.â jing hanchuan looked at her. did she really think that duan linbai would do something to xu shunqin? wasnât that the same as walking into the muzzle of a gun?
â i know. grandpa hasnât been in good health recently, so my dad probably isnât in the mood to talk about the wedding, so ... â
âitâs fine.â anyway, they had already registered their marriage, so the wedding ceremony could be taken slowly.
she just didnât expect fu chen to be so fast.
âbut i didnât expect to get pregnant so soon. with their genes, the child will definitely be beautiful.â xu yuanfeiâs words were filled with envy.
jing hanchuan didnât reply.
no matter how good-looking she was, it had nothing to do with their family.
it was fine as long as their child was good-looking.
baby fu wasnât born yet, so his father disliked him. he didnât expect his sixth uncle to dislike him too ...
baby fu was speechless.

duan family
before xu shunqin left, duan songqiao and lin yuxian suddenly returned home. they were probably worried about leaving the two of them alone at home because duan linbai could not take care of himself.
âmom, dad, why are you back?â when duan linbai walked out of the kitchen in an apron, lin yuxian was stunned.
her bear-like apron on him was really ...
they were a little compatible!
duan songqiao glanced at it and then looked away in disgust.
it hurt his eyes.
â iâm afraid i wonât come. you can turn the house upside down. your grandma is worried about you two being alone at home, so she asked me to come back quickly to take a look. â
as lin yuxian spoke, he prepared to go upstairs to change his clothes. when he passed by duan linbaiâs room, he hesitated, but still pushed the door open and entered.
when she entered the room, she saw several bite marks on the back of xu jiamuâs neck. her son was probably born in the year of the dog, so how could he have bitten her neck like that?
that girl actually allowed him to do as he pleased.
she had thought that the room would be messy and wanted to help clean it up. when she pushed the door open, she found that the room was as clean as new. she checked again and found that the sheets had been washed.
the servants werenât around, so this definitely wouldnât be duan linbaiâs doing.
âthis kid is really lucky to have found a capable wife.â
lin yuxian liked xu jiamu more and more. he was highly educated and didnât despise his son. what else was there to pick?
when lin yuxian went downstairs, he asked duan linbai to get out of the kitchen, and xu jiamu went in to help. the atmosphere was a little awkward until lin yuxian said, â âyouâve worked hard.â
âwhat?â
â it must be hard being with lin bai. that kid has a good character. itâs just that he was pampered when he was young and has no love, so his personality is a little undisciplined. if he offends you, you can just hit and scold him. thereâs no need to be polite. â
âheâs tough and can take a beating!â
xu jiamu was stunned. she was ...
encouraging her to abuse her own son?
what kind of logic did this family have?
how could there be such a mother-in-law?
in fact, lin yuxianâs thinking was very simple. with a wife, if she was pregnant, she could throw away this son.
at that moment, duan linbai was dealing with xu shunqin. he wanted xu shunqin to stay for dinner, but xu shunqin refused, so duan linbai could only send him out. he had no idea that his mother was instigating his wife to â beat â him up.
âyouâre really not staying for dinner?â duan linbai narrowed his eyes. the autumn sun was still a little strong.
âokay, iâll treat you next time.â xu shunqin was in the living room when he heard the sound of hot oil splashing in the kitchen, followed by duan linbaiâs screams ...
cooking was like fighting a war, so he didnât dare to eat this meal.
âthen i wonât keep you.â duan linbai didnât stop him.
just as xu shunqin was about to leave, he saw someone waving at them from the corner of his eye. he squinted his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar person ...
duan linbai was stunned.
it was fine if xu xu was here, but why did she bring his mother along?
donât tell me he wants his wife back?
he was extremely regretful at this moment. he should have urged her to get her marriage certificate last night. xu xin had promised to come alone, but this kid was too unreliable.
