Chapter 7 Family Troubles

• Xu Lili came out of the KTV and just got in touch with her mother.
• Upon learning that her younger brother was in trouble, she immediately returned to her parents' home.
• Upon seeing her, Wang Xiuzhi immediately began scolding her in anger, blaming Jiang Yan for not helping and blaming her for marrying the wrong person.
• Xu Lili exploded upon hearing this, immediately called Jiang Yan and asked him to come to her parents' house to apologize.
• Jiang Yan carried Xiaonannan upstairs, hesitated at the door, but still knocked.
• Their daughter had just come back to life and was still very weak.
• He didn't want his daughter to hear about these family conflicts, but Xu Lili was impatient and no one was taking care of the child, so he had to bring Xiaonannan with him.
• The door opened, revealing Xu Lili's cold face.
• Wang Xiuzhi sat on the sofa, cracking melon seeds, looking at Jiang Yan with displeasure, and gave a cold glance at the father and daughter.
• Xiaonannan, upon seeing her mother, was not happy at all, and timidly turned back to hug Jiang Yan.
• Jiang Yan was about to enter when he heard Xu Lili scolding him with a black face, "Don't you change your shoes? You're dirtying the floor, go clean up for my mom!"
• Jiang Yan blushed, always being careful when visiting his mother-in-law's house, afraid of doing something wrong.
• He was about to get slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into, but Xu Lili threw him a pair of disposable slippers from the hotel, and said with a sneer, "Those are my brother's slippers, do you still have the face to wear them?"
• Jiang Yan held back his anger and didn't want to argue with his daughter in front of her.
• Just now, he couldn't reach her, and his daughter almost died.
• He suppressed his anger, put on his shoes, and said, "Lili, just now Nan Nan had a high fever and was critically ill. I was at the hospital treating her and couldn't come over!"
• Xu Lili snatched her daughter from his arms, frightening little Nan Nan into crying loudly.
• She roughly touched her daughter's head and angrily said to Jiang Yan, "At this point, you're still lying to me? Nan Nan clearly didn't have a fever, and you're using her illness as an excuse?"
• Little Nan Nan cried softly, "Nan Nan was really sick just now..."
• "Shut up!"
• Xu Lili angrily interrupted her, giving her a pinch on the arm as a lesson, "You and your dad are in cahoots, now you've learned to lie too?"
• Nan Nan cried loudly, "I didn't lie, Nan Nan didn't lie."
• "Xu Lili, can you calm down a bit?"
• Jiang Yan hugged his daughter lovingly, then went over to call out to Wang Xiuzhi and his father-in-law Xu Jingye, sitting across from them.
• Wang Xiuzhi sarcastically said, "Don't call me mom anymore, we have no blood relation, I can't bear to be your mom!"
• Xu Jingye, known as "Old Xu", was a kind old man.
• He spoke up for Jiang Yan, "Let's all say less, the important thing now is how to help Xiaobin settle things and get him back quickly. The longer he stays outside, the more danger he's in!"
• Wang Xiuzhi wiped her eyes and cried out, "My poor son, where are you! If something happens to you, I don't want to live either."
• "Mom, don't worry! We are trying to figure things out here!"
• Xu Lili immediately comforted her by hugging her.
• Wang Xiuzhi scolded, "What can you do? Xiaobin owes someone a million, and your useless husband definitely can't come up with it. You don't know, he even asked me for money today! Do you think he's deliberately trying to upset me?"
• Xu Lili took a deep breath and angrily said to Jiang Yansheng, "Jiang Yan, have you no shame? Borrowing money and borrowing it to my mom? Is this intentional?"
• Jiang Yansheng was still puzzled, "By the way, Lili, what about the savings in our bank account? I remember there was over a hundred thousand balance last month, why is there no money left now?"
• As soon as Wang Xiuzhi heard about money, she immediately demanded from her daughter, "Yes, Lili, quickly take out the money. Even if it's just tens of thousands, pay off those people first, buy some time for your brother!"
• Xu Lili blushed and said, "The money is gone."
• "What?"
• Wang Xiuzhi widened her eyes, looking suspicious, "You're not lying to Mom, are you?"
• Jiang Yansheng was also surprised, "Tens of thousands! You spent it all?"
• Xu Lili dejectedly said, "Last month, Xiaobin asked me for money, saying he found a big project outside. He said that if we invest the money, we can break even in a month. So I lent him the money, but who knew he used it to gamble!"
• "Why didn't you discuss it with me?"
• Jiang Yan was furious.
• Because of this incident, he almost took Xiaonan's life.
• Xu Lili's emotions were suddenly stirred up: "Why are you yelling at me? I had no idea about it! Xiaobin seemed trustworthy at the time, and I just wanted to earn some money for the family to ease our burden!"
• Jiang Yan was overwhelmed: "What kind of person is Xiaobin? Don't you know? In the past three years, has he ever returned a single penny of the money he took from us? Has he ever done anything decent? How can you still trust him?"
• "How can you say that about him? He's my own brother, don't you trust me if you don't trust him?"
• Xu Lili was exasperated, crying and scolding Jiang Yan with a sense of grievance: "When I married you, did you give my family any dowry? Xiaobin just spent a little money from you, what's the big deal? He's missing now, and you don't care about his well-being. Instead, you're yelling at me for money. Do you still have a conscience?"
