Zhou Ruotong looked at her mother in disbelief, "Mom, if the news of me going to the police station gets out, my future will be ruined!"
Madam Zhou used her body to shield her daughter as much as possible, preventing her from being photographed. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "With so many people watching, if you continue to stall, you'll be ruined just the same! Hurry up and go with them, I'll figure something out."
This time, Zhou Ruotong finally listened to Madam Zhou. She lowered her head as much as she could and followed the two police officers into the elevator amidst the pointing and whispering of the crowd.
Madam Zhou then also fled into the stairwell. In such a situation, she didn't want to stay for another second.
Lan Yuxi saw that the mother and daughter of the Zhou family had left, so she got up and entered the elevator.
Soon, she reached the first floor.
Nan Xiao was waiting for her at the elevator entrance. Seeing her emerge, he quickly stepped forward.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, "You've been here all along?"
If he had been standing here all along, wouldn't he have run into Zhou Ruotong again?
Nan Xiao saw through her thoughts at a glance, smiled with a curved lip, and said, "Not all along. I came over when I saw those two police officers leave."
Lan Yuxi chuckled as she saw him deliberately ignore Zhou Ruotong, "Did you get the Chinese medicine?"
"I don't know. Huo Ding went to get it. Let's go back first. Huo Ding will arrange for someone to deliver the medicine."
"That's fine too. With so much medicine, it won't be fully prepared in less than an hour."
Lan Yuxi said and walked towards the main entrance.
Nan Xiao, with his long strides, caught up. However, as soon as he caught up with Lan Yuxi, he saw some people he didn't want to see.
His eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, aunt, and Nan Ying's parents were walking over in a line.
Lan Yuxi recognized these people and instinctively looked at Nan Xiao.
At this moment, Nan Xiao's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was filled with displeasure.
Nan Ying's mother, who was walking at the very back, rushed over directly after seeing Nan Xiao.
"Nan Xiao, Nan Ying always called you uncle. You were so harsh on her, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Nan Xiao's face immediately darkened. "I don't have a niece like her who betrays her own family. If you have any complaints, you can leave the Nan family with her."
Nan Ying's mother's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? Not only did you beat Nan Ying like that, but you also want to expel her from the Nan family?"
Nan Xiao said coldly, "If you're not convinced, then all of you can get lost!"
Nan Ying's father also walked over and pulled his wife's arm. "Don't bother with him, he's just a lunatic. We'll go talk to Big Aunt to reason with her."
An Jia Lao Da frowned, "Nan Lao Wu, my sister is still sick. Don't bother her with such a small matter."
Nan Ying's father sneered, "My daughter was crippled by your people, and you call this a small matter? If it were your child getting beaten, I don't believe you could say it so lightly!"
"If my child were as brainless as your daughter, I wouldn't even need Nan Xiao to do it; I'd beat her to death myself!" An Jia Lao Da finished speaking and looked at Nan Xiao, "Xiao'er, did you just come from your mother's?"
Nan Xiao said with a solemn face, "No, I came for a check-up."
An Lao Er came closer, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm here for a follow-up."
An family aunt frowned, "You're done with your follow-up and you're leaving without even seeing your mother? Every time I visit, your mother complains about you to me. Nan Xiao, your mother raised you through hardships, and this is how you treat her?"
After speaking, the An family aunt glared at Lan Yuxi with disgust.
Nan Xiao's expression instantly turned dark. She could say anything about him, but she couldn't treat Xi Bao like that.
"I only know that my mother needs to rest. If you truly cared about her, you wouldn't disturb her multiple times a day."
Nan Xiao said and took out his phone to make a call.
"From now on, no matter who comes, stop them all… If my mother questions you, tell her I told you to do it."
After making the call, Nan Xiao swept his icy gaze over everyone, "From today onwards, my mother will not see any outsiders. You all can go back."
Nan Lao Wu and his wife came to complain and wouldn't leave so easily. They tried to walk in while Nan Xiao wasn't paying attention.
Nan Xiao cast a cold glance at the two of them, "Do you also want to spend a few days in the police station like Zhou Ruotong?"
Nan Lao Wu and his wife exchanged glances. They had seen the police car just now but hadn't seen clearly who was being taken away.
Zhou Ruotong was arrested, but their daughter was only beaten. It seemed Nan Xiao had held back.
"Nan Xiao, don't misunderstand. We were just going to see Nan Ying."
Nan Xiao let out a snort and looked at his uncles' faces. "It would be better for you to be at home guarding my maternal grandfather than to be here; you might even get some benefits."
After Nan Xiao finished speaking, he took Lan Yuxi's hand and was about to walk out.
The An family aunt reached out and blocked their path, "Wait! You can leave, but leave this little slut here. I have something to say to her."
Nan Xiao reprimanded, "Watch your mouth!"
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow, "Old slut, what do you want to say?"
"Let's go, don't listen to her nonsense!" Nan Xiao put his arm around her waist and walked towards the door.
The An family aunt's face turned pale with anger, and she roared, "Lan Yuxi, if you have any self-respect, stop pestering Nan Xiao. Nan Xiao's wife can be anyone, but it will absolutely not be you!"
Nan Xiao turned and looked at her coldly, "You think too highly of me. Xi Bao hasn't even agreed to be with me yet. It's me who's been pestering her. Instead of worrying about me, you'd be better off going home and keeping an eye on your man!"
The An family aunt stood there stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning!" Nan Xiao dropped these four words and embraced Lan Yuxi as he walked out the door.
An Lao Si, seeing his sister silenced, angrily chased after them. He stood at the main entrance and yelled.
"Lan Yuxi, I advise you to give up this idea. As long as we are here, this little slut will never enter the Nan family!"
Lan Yuxi gave him a half-smile, and the next second, she broke free from Nan Xiao's embrace and went in front of An Lao Si.
With a "slap," her blow loosened all of An Lao Si's teeth.
"Old geezer, try calling me a little slut again!"
"You..." As soon as An Lao Si opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lan Yuxi glanced at him disdainfully, then pulled Nan Xiao and left.
In the car, Nan Xiao took Lan Yuxi's hand and said, "Don't be angry. Their family is all the same. They can't even sort out their own affairs but come out and meddle in others'."
Lan Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly, "They all think I'm not good enough for you, so no matter how hard I try, it's all in vain… Do you have your ID card?"
Nan Xiao looked at her in surprise, "Yes, I do. What do you need my ID card for?"
