Chapter 2226: Sister-in-law (8)
Watching Zhao Li already get up and walk out, Lu Zishu couldn’t care about anything else and quickly called the Ruan Family next door.
Even if he wasn’t sensible, he knew the name Ruan Jiaojiao absolutely couldn’t be engraved, no matter how good the relationship between the Ruan and Lu families was.
Ruan Jiaojiao had already gone to school for class, and the phone was answered at home by the Ruanlin Family. Hearing Lu Zishu’s words, they quickly called Ruan Jie from upstairs: "Quick, go next door and stop Aunt Li; she’s trying to engrave Jiaojiao’s name again."
Ruan Jie was on vacation these days and hadn’t gone out, just stayed at home every day. Hearing the Ruanlin Family’s words, he didn’t dare delay and quickly went downstairs. He indeed saw Lu Zishu and Lu Zhiwei next door, pulling Zhao Li.
Zhao Li, irritated by the father and son duo, started angrily cursing them. Her emotions were gradually becoming agitated, even causing her hands to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing her like this, both Lu Zishu and Lu Zhiwei were terrified, afraid that they might provoke something worse in her. When they saw Ruan Jie running over from next door, they quickly shouted: "Brother Jie."
Zhao Li was twisting in Lu Zhiwei’s arms, and upon hearing the call, she turned her head to look and greeted, "Xiaojie is here, just in time. I have serious business; none of them are willing to engrave Jiaojiao’s name. You’re Jiaojiao’s brother; you should make the decision for her. They can’t act like this."
Looking at Zhao Li in such a state, Ruan Jie felt deep sadness.
Yet, Shu Jiao had already informed the family that under no circumstances should Ruan Jiaojiao’s name be engraved.
Being Lu Xian’s best friend and brother, Ruan Jie really didn’t want to see Zhao Li like this. He stepped forward and carefully tried to persuade her: "Aunt Li, Jiaojiao’s name isn’t urgent; you see, now the weather is so cold, and the cemetery is also so cold. What if you catch a cold?"
But Zhao Li heard the perfunctory tone in his words and frowned: "Xiaojie, what’s the matter with you? Why are you stopping me too?" She began to speak more and more agitatedly, her expression becoming fierce, shouting and yelling: "Why are you all stopping me?!"
"That’s because Jiaojiao is my wife, not Lu Xian’s wife." Duan Xi walked in from outside the gate and replied.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and resolute, his expression serious and stern.
Zhao Li’s twisting body in Lu Zhiwei’s arms froze, looking at him as if suddenly receiving a huge shock, her fingertips trembling slightly: "Who are you?"
These days, Zhao Li’s mind was disturbed, believing Ruan Jiaojiao was her daughter-in-law while deliberately ignoring Duan Xi. Usually, even when she saw him, it was as if she couldn’t see him at all.
"Ruan Jiaojiao’s fiancé, Jiaojiao is my future wife." Duan Xi said.
"Impossible." Zhao Li shook her head, her whole body starting to tremble: "This is impossible, Jiaojiao clearly had a childhood engagement with Azheng, they even have a son. Look, here’s their son."
"No, it’s not, this is the child Lu Xian brought back from outside, a child he adopted. If you don’t believe me, there should be documentation of the adoption in Lu Xian’s study."
"No, no! You’re lying!" Zhao Li looked at Duan Xi, only feeling a splitting headache, she held her forehead, her face pale. In such cold weather, big beads of sweat were rolling down.
"Brother Xi, please don’t say anymore." Lu Zishu felt heartbroken, turning to Duan Xi, trying to stop him: "My mom can’t take any more of this; please, I’m begging you, don’t say anymore."
