Chapter 1909: Untouchable

"Go back and tell those two things, tell them exactly this: this matter isn't over. If I don't hack them to death, I'll hack them into cripples; in any case, I won't let them continue to scheme against my daughter."

Lüshi:...

Since one tactic didn't work, he switched to another.

"If you go in, your daughter will also be implicated, and her future children will also be implicated."

"Why?"

Lao Litou's arrogant momentum vanished in an instant.

He could go to jail, but if he went to jail, it would implicate his daughter; this would not do.

Seeing him ask why?

The Lüshi felt confident; so he was legally illiterate, knowing nothing at all, this would be easy to handle.

He said to Lao Litou: "Because this is stipulated by law, so don't think that one person doing the deed means one person bears the burden; it simply won't work. Your daughter will be restricted in everything she does, and people will point fingers behind her back; she will never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life..."

Lao Litou thought about how his daughter would be affected and finally softened; he agreed to the Lüshi's proposal: mediation.

But Li Xue would not accept it.

"I do not accept mediation."

Li Xueer came out from the next room; she had just heard every word of their conversation clearly.

This Lüshi, hired by her biological parents, was no good person either; he wanted to threaten her father to achieve their ulterior motives—that was a dream, don't even think about it.

Li Xueer told the Lüshi that if her biological parents dared to sue her father, she would go to court and sue them for abandonment.

Even if someone had to go to jail, they would be the first to go.

And she would stir this matter up on the internet, making it known to everyone!

Let's see who loses face then?

The law will stand on the side of justice, and it won't be biased just because someone is shameless.

What they are doing is extortion; what family demands thirty million in alimony, and from each person at that?

Furthermore, they are only middle-aged, with hands and feet and the ability to work; they haven't reached the point of needing support.

Even if they had reached the point of needing support, they couldn't just open their mouths like a lion and demand whatever they wanted.

They abandoned her the moment she was born, and they still think they're in the right?

And trying to threaten her father with credit reports? Dream on.

She isn't applying for civil service, nor is she enlisting in the military, so what does she have to fear from that?

The Lüshi saw that this girl was not easy to deal with, so he slunk away.

He went back and explained the situation; the man and woman were furious. They weren't afraid of losing face; they were shameless people to begin with, so what was there to fear about losing face?

As long as they could get the money, nothing else mattered.

The woman was impatient and told the Lüshi about their daughter being married into the Sheng Family as a daughter-in-law; she had originally wanted the Lüshi to know how much money the Sheng Family had, so he would be firm in his resolve to help them with the lawsuit.

But when the Lüshi heard that Li Xueer was actually the Sheng Family's daughter-in-law, his face turned pale with fright immediately.

He shook his head like a rattle-drum and immediately stated that he would not take this case, no matter how much money they offered.

Go against the Sheng Family?

He didn't want his career to end so early.

The two of them were puzzled; why couldn't they pull off an extortion?

The Lüshi said: "Since you are courting death yourselves, I dare not stop you, but don't drag me into it." After saying this, he hurried away, not even asking for his travel fee this time.

"Hmph! Coward!"

"Exactly, he doesn't have the ability; we'll find someone else."

But subsequently, the two of them finally realized that the first Lüshi seemed to have been right!

They found N lawyers in a row, and every one of them, upon hearing they were to sue someone from the Sheng Family, immediately and resolutely refused.

After being rejected so many times, their firm conviction wavered without hesitation.

Is it really impossible?

Is the ability of the Sheng Family really that strong?

If the straight path doesn't work, then take the crooked path; the man had evil thoughts.

But the evil thoughts had just sprouted before they were nipped in the bud!

A brother from the streets heard they wanted to go and cause trouble for the Sheng Family and gave him a hard rap on the head, cursing him: "I think you're tired of living! Whose trouble do you dare to look for? You still want to go and look for trouble with the Sheng Family? Don't even know how you'll die when the time comes..."

"If you were truly in difficulty, the Sheng Family wouldn't ignore it, but just wanting to go and extort them for no reason? Then you've miscalculated!"

Later, Li Xueer's biological parents gave up the idea of extorting money.

Since they couldn't afford to provoke them, then don't provoke them; don't bring trouble upon yourselves.

You can't do a losing business; they had already each formed new families and had other children; they didn't lack this one Li Xueer, and they had to think about their other children.

After this storm, Li Xueer never dared to brag again.

It was just telling stories to neighbors to have some fun, yet it had drawn out her unscrupulous biological parents.

United States.

Zichen brought over seafood porridge, and Gu Yuxin ate it very happily: "Not bad, your skills have improved again."

Zichen: "These aren't my skills; it's something my father-in-law has pondered over for many years, and he gave the recipe to me."

"Do you love her?"

Gu Yuxin suddenly asked.

Zichen didn't expect her to ask this and smiled a bit awkwardly: "Why did you suddenly think to ask that?"

"Curiosity, can you satisfy a patient's curiosity?" She was indeed just purely curious, with no other meaning; Gu Yuxin's personality hadn't changed, she was still the same person who said whatever she thought.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good once it gets cold later."

Zichen did not answer directly; he chose to evade.

After Gu Yuxin finished her porridge and rinsed her mouth, she said to Zichen, "Let's talk. It's been a long time since we've had a serious conversation."

"Fine, let's talk about work."

"Are you evading?"

"No, I'm just curious what courses you are studying now?"

Gu Yuxin was very intelligent; she was someone born to be a scholar.

She hadn't been abroad for long, yet she was already a double doctorate.

Gu Yuxin smiled and said, "You asked this, so you can't easily change the subject now."

"The subject I am currently specializing in is love. Surprised? Unexpected?"

Sheng Zichen:...

Surprised but not happy; it was indeed quite unexpected.

Before he could ask, Yuxin began to talk incessantly: "I have discovered that love is a very magical thing. No matter how rational a person is, they cannot escape this law. Love can make people do many things they could never have imagined, such as having a racing heartbeat and blushing when seeing the person they like..."

"And it seems that it's not just humans who have love; the animal kingdom does too. The more advanced and intelligent the creature, the stronger the feeling! But love has a shelf life; it won't maintain the same frequency of a racing heartbeat forever..."

Mentioning her own field of study, Gu Yuxin talked on and on.

She was indeed very well-suited to be a scholar; even Zichen was won over by her viewpoints.

This was a perspective that used extremely rational thinking to analyze emotional matters, completely devoid of personal subjective consciousness.

It was very novel and also very persuasive!

Just as Zichen was listening intently, Gu Yuxin shifted the tone of her conversation and turned the topic back to him again.

"Actually, you have already fallen in love with your little wife, you just haven't realized it yet."

Zichen:...
