Chapter 163 Aunt-in-

law Ruan Liuzheng looked at the stiff mother and son, then looked at Fu Yanci who was gloating, and Fu Zhiqing who had succeeded in her plan, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, there was really no way to ignore it.

Besides, according to her personality, how could she watch Xie Qingcen rebel against the mother who gave birth to him for her.

She was happy for Xie Qingcen's protection, and also happy for Xie Qingcen's attention, but she was not a weak and bullied dodder.

She had a temper, but she could not use it on the people she cared about.

Moreover, Ruan Liuzheng gently raised her eyes and glanced at Zeng Shuwan silently. A hint of envy was vaguely revealed in her cold almond eyes, but it was fleeting, so fast that it was almost undetectable.

She curled her lips, proactively breaking the silence. "Why are you so nervous? I don't need her apology, and I didn't take her childish words to heart."

"I'm already married to Qing Cen. I'm her elder now, so I should be more tolerant of younger people. But..."

Ruan Liuzheng quietly observed Fu Zhiqing's changing expression. Her tone suddenly changed, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her pale pink lips. "Since you're my elder, shouldn't you also call me 'little aunt'?"

The last few words were deliberately emphasized, even the ending tone was slightly teasing.

After knowing Fu Zhiqing for so many years, Ruan Liuzheng knew her weaknesses and what she hated most.

She was sure that having Fu Zhiqing call her 'little aunt' would be more painful than killing her.

As expected, Fu Zhiqing's face froze.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Ruan Liuzheng in disbelief, a hint of undisguised disdain in her eyes.

She hadn't even managed to control the strength of her grip on Zeng Shuwan, accidentally pinching her and causing her to groan in pain.

She turned her head, slightly puzzled, to look at Fu Zhiqing. "Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"

In her eyes, Ruan Liuzheng's move had undoubtedly defused Xie Qingcen's wrath without a single blow. If the situation had remained stagnant, she wasn't sure she could have protected Fu Zhiqing.

The Xie family would rather break than bend, a common disposition.

Protecting their shortcomings was a fundamental part of their way of life, and Xie Qingcen was a leader among them.

Zeng Shuwan knew that if Ruan Liuzheng hadn't stepped in, Xie Qingcen would not have bowed his head today, and this matter would have remained unresolved.

Even if Xie Qingcen didn't bully girls, when it came to Ruan Liuzheng, the woman he had set his sights on, Fu Zhiqing's fate was certainly not good.

Therefore, Zeng Shuwan was not only satisfied with Ruan Liuzheng's action, but also moved.

She was pleased with Ruan Liuzheng's sensibleness, and thanked Ruan Liuzheng for protecting her granddaughter.

Zeng Shuwan unconsciously showed Ruan Liuzheng a kind smile. She knew nothing, but she didn't know how much Ruan Liuzheng's action embarrassed Fu Zhiqing.

Seeing that Fu Zhiqing had been silent, she couldn't help but urge her, "Zhiqing, why don't you say anything? Liuzheng is Qingcen's wife now. It's not embarrassing to just call her 'little aunt'. And it's also a matter of course."

"You and Yanci will come to the Xie family often in the future. Grandma hopes that you and Liuzheng will get along well. What happened in the past is over. The Xie family is not a pedantic family."

Zeng Shuwan's old face was soft, her eyebrows drooped, and she stroked Fu Zhiqing's long hair as she spoke.

Not only did she hope to persuade Fu Zhiqing with this, she also hoped to show her approval of Ruan Liuzheng, so that Ruan Liuzheng would not be too restrained and would not care too much about the past.

Ruan Liuzheng understood, she curled her lips, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her light pink lips.

There is no need to say too much when smart people talk, sometimes a nod and a smile can speak for themselves.

However, Fu Zhiqing still didn't understand, or it should be said that she understood but didn't want to give in.

She raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes looking at Fu Yanci, hoping that Fu Yanci could speak for her and help her escape.

Asking her to call Ruan Liuzheng "little aunt" was simply a fantasy.

Regardless of Ruan Liuzheng's humble status, even for what she did last time, Fu Zhiqing would never willingly bow her head.

She gritted her teeth, and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.

How could Fu Yanci not know how Fu Zhiqing felt? Even when he learned about the relationship between Ruan Liuzheng and Xie Qingcen, he felt as if a needle was stuck in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw Ruan Liuzheng and her son and Xie Qingcen coming together, and the little Fu Jingcheng calling Xie Qingcen "Dad", he felt a mixture of emotions and an indescribable discomfort.

But he had chosen his own path, and he couldn't afford to fall out with the Xie family.

With the Xie family as a backer, the Fu family could also lean back and enjoy the shade.

Fu Yanci frowned slightly, and his thin lips were pressed tightly into a straight line.

He took a deep breath and shook his head gently at Fu Zhiqing, signaling her to stop making trouble and be obedient.

Seeing this, Fu Zhiqing's heart sank. She clenched her palms tightly, and her beautiful eyes stared at Ruan Liuzheng, her eyes full of stubborn malice.

She would have to die to bow to Ruan Liuzheng! Even when Ruan Liuzheng was Fu Yanci's wife, she had never called her "sister-in-law"!

Now, that was even more impossible.

...

Ruan Liuzheng slowly changed her posture. She raised her hand and leisurely pinched the nipple on Fu Jingcheng's cheek. Then, with a playful look, she raised her eyes. "My patience is not very good. If you don't hurry up, I might change my mind."

Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Qingcen beside her, her cold voice carrying an unspoken hint.

It was clearly a clear indication.

Moreover, Fu Yanci and Zeng Shuwan, who had witnessed this scene, began to subtly urge Fu Zhiqing to hurry up, fearing that if they were a second late, Xie Qingcen would start to teach Fu Zhiqing a lesson himself.

Fu Zhiqing's palms clenched, her eyes reddened, but she knew that Fu Yanci and Zeng Shuwan were doing it for her own good. She had no reason to blame or resist them.

Besides, she couldn't resist, one was the person she wanted to use, and the other was her own brother.

No matter which one it was, she was the one who couldn't refute.

Fu Zhiqing closed her eyes, trying hard to suppress the anger that was surging in her heart. She gritted her teeth and blurted out word by word, each sentence full of anger, "Little! Uncle! Mom!"

Ruan Liuzheng smiled slightly. She didn't speak, but glanced at Fu Yanci who was standing beside her and didn't care about it. A faint arc appeared at the corner of her light pink lips. The

meaning is self-evident.

Since they are brother and sister, they should share happiness and hardship. How could they only embarrass one and let the other go?

Of course, it is better to treat them equally.
