Fang Chu's hatred for Xu Mu was now even more evident.
He had met Lu Xueyao first. Once, during a conversation, he mentioned the news of his marriage.
From that moment on, he could clearly sense that Lu Xueyao's feelings towards him had changed.
It was as if the original admiration had turned into mere kinship.
Later, he met Zhao Yingying. Having learned his lesson, he never told either of them about his marriage.
Anyway, he thought his current wife was disgusting.
Once his power was restored, if his wife's family still dared to speak rudely to him, he would divorce her immediately.
If his wife admitted her mistakes and was still willing to be his woman,
naturally, she couldn't interfere with his taking concubines.
He was from a hidden family. Even though his family had been destroyed and he was the only one left alive, he was still a scion of a noble family.
In hidden families, having multiple wives and concubines was normal.
Moreover, even outside of hidden families, there were many countries in the world with a polygamous policy.
He just needed to obtain the nationality of such a country, and he could legally take these women into his harem.
But this Xu Mu in front of him kept ruining his good deeds. It was simply going too far.
"Xiao Fang, you're already married?"
Li Yun looked at Fang Chu weakly.
"Auntie, I am."
Fang Chu definitely couldn't lie. This was something that could be easily investigated.
If he lied, it would only worsen the relationship between them.
"Well, I never heard you mention it before."
Li Yun nodded gently.
"Mainly because you never asked me," Fang Chu replied, looking a bit uncomfortable.
"Auntie, you can rest assured and recuperate here. Everything will be fine."
Xu Mu admired women like her.
She worked as a breakfast vendor in the morning and also moonlighted as a delivery rider.
Perhaps it was the high - intensity work that had caused her to develop health problems.
"This is too much money..."
"Auntie, you should have heard what Yingying said just now. I bought so many clothes before because of Yingying's good service attitude. She's a nice girl."
Xu Mu looked at Li Yun and smiled. "I also learned about your character from Yingying. I really admire you."
[Favorability +20]
[Favorability +20]
Black characters appeared above the heads of Li Yun and Zhao Yingying at the same time.
"You're overestimating me," Li Yun said with a bitter smile. Then she nodded at Xu Mu. "Well, I'd better accept it then. I'll pay you back as soon as I recover from my illness."
"Don't worry. I'll pay the fees first so they can start the treatment soon."
After Xu Mu said that, he looked at Zhao Yingying. "Take me there."
"Okay, Brother Mu," Zhao Yingying said gratefully and led Xu Mu away.
Fang Chu was left there, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He cursed in his heart. He had even spent twenty yuan on fruits for this visit, and now they just left him hanging here?
It was all that bastard Xu Mu's fault.
"Xiao Fang, don't take it too much to heart. Every family has its own hard - to - read scriptures," Li Yun said weakly, looking at Fang Chu.
"I know," Fang Chu nodded gently, thinking that Auntie was really kind and hadn't disappointed him.
Compared with Zhao Yingying, he had met Li Yun first.
He used to go to Li Yun's breakfast shop often. He was immediately attracted to this mature and voluptuous woman.
This kind of slightly plump woman with an hourglass figure was what men desired.
After inquiring, he learned that Li Yun's husband had passed away, which he saw as an opportunity.
Later, he found out that Li Yun also had a beautiful daughter.
"If you're not busy, you can go. You still need to earn money to support your family. You can't stay here all the time," Li Yun forced a smile at Fang Chu.
"Okay, Auntie," Fang Chu nodded gently and left.
As long as Li Yun was on his side, he was determined to get Zhao Yingying.
After leaving the inpatient building, he headed to the charging office to talk to Zhao Yingying.
When he got there, he saw Zhao Yingying and Xu Mu still waiting in line.
"Yingying," Fang Chu walked over first. "I'm going back now."
Zhao Yingying nodded gently. "Okay."
Before leaving, Fang Chu looked at Xu Mu. "I'm warning you, don't play any tricks. If I find out you're bullying Yingying..."
"Brother, I'm really speechless. You come! Why don't you pay the money!"
Xu Mu took a step back to make room for Fang Chu.
"I..." Fang Chu was suddenly at a loss for words.
"You don't pay a single cent and still act so high - and - mighty?"
Xu Mu sneered at Fang Chu. "If I were you, I'd sort out my own family affairs first. Your own life is in a mess, but you still try to meddle in others' business."
Xu Mu had known about this person's information the first time they met.
Fang Chu was the descendant of a hidden family. After his family was destroyed, he managed to escape.
Later, in order to take revenge, he found the family's cultivation method and practiced alone.
At first, things went well, but he was too eager for success. In the later stage, he suffered a qi deviation and fainted.
He was picked up by his current wife's father.
Because the old man thought he was a good person and an orphan, he wanted Fang Chu to marry into their family.
There were actually many benefits for an orphan to marry into a family.
The most important one was that there were no conflicts of interest.
Since he had no family of his own, he wouldn't steal the family's resources.
However, later, his wife's father passed away due to illness.
His wife and mother - in - law looked down on him, thinking he was useless.
They were also reluctant to hand over the family affairs to Fang Chu.
Fang Chu endured a lot of humiliation at home, but out of gratitude for his wife's father who had once saved him,
he didn't dare to lose his temper.
Xu Mu had his own principles.
In his opinion, Fang Chu was a bit more decent than Lin Yang.
Because he knew how to be grateful. At least he still remembered that his wife's father had saved him.
So, Xu Mu didn't want to argue with him.
But his patience was limited. If the other person kept making him unhappy, then he wouldn't be polite.
"Brother Mu, don't be angry," Zhao Yingying grabbed Xu Mu's hand. Then she looked at Fang Chu seriously. "Fang Chu, I'm not a three - year - old kid. I know what I'm doing. You're acting very strangely today. You can go back first!"
[Destiny Power - 10]
Fang Chu was extremely annoyed. Even Zhao Yingying, with her gentle personality, had issued an order for him to leave.
He knew that Zhao Yingying was different from Lu Xueyao.
Lu Xueyao had a stubborn personality.
Just like now, when he made her angry, she would just ignore him.
But Zhao Yingying had always been like a sweet little sister next door. This was the first time he had seen her show such an expression.
It was all Xu Mu's fault!
"Okay, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything," Fang Chu nodded and turned to leave.
He was so angry. If it weren't for the qi deviation that had left him unable to use his power,
as a martial artist, he would definitely make this bastard pay the price.
How dare he poach his girls right in front of him!
Finally, it was Zhao Yingying's turn in the queue.
Xu Mu didn't stand on ceremony and paid the money directly.
"Brother Mu, thank you. I'll write you an IOU first," Zhao Yingying said, finally relieved that her mother was going to be saved.
"Don't go to so much trouble," Xu Mu waved his hand.
"Then... Brother Mu, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Yingying lowered her head, her voice faltering. "Don't worry. I'll keep my word. I'll do whatever you say."

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart?
