" Is this the way to treat a guest , Military Chief ? "
Xi Yuan felt his heart tighten when he heard Lu Wei's words .
His woman never had a childhood . All she had seen were pain and sufferings .
When she had walked into his life , he had felt as if he had got a reason to live . Even her absence made it difficult for him to survive .
How could the Rong family be ruthless enough to treat such an angel like some trash .The person whose presence in itself was a source of energy for him , how could they not feel their luck to have her in their lives ?
In this century , it was a shame that gender discrimination still existed .
No wonder she kept fighting ...
She kept fighting to prove herself to the world ....
She kept fighting to make herself tough ....
She kept fighting love ....
She kept fighting happiness ....
She had seen so much pain that she had stopped believing that she deserved love , happiness and warmth of a family .
Instead , she had started fearing these things .
Her hope and desperation to be loved must have had pushed her towards that Zhou Che back then . But in the end , what happened ?
Everyone who entered her life had caused her immense pain . It was completely understandable for her to reject him . Her fears were reasonable . And he understood these things very well .
He had to take baby steps .
He couldn't push her because although she was a tough woman , her heart was quite fragile . He had to take her emotions into consideration .
....
The man then lifted his head to look at Lu Wei .
Lu Wei was still patting the girl's forehead with a helpless expression .
Xi Yuan was a little stunned when he saw his strict mentor like this . It turned out that it wasn't just him whose hands were tied when it came to this girl .
But no matter how these six men threatened him , Xi Yuan was never offended .
Instead , he respected them all the more . Because if it weren't for them and their support , this girl of his would have suffered even more . They were her biggest support system , after all .
.....
" Wei ! I am sorry ! ", Ningtao entered the room with tears in her eyes .
" Mrs. Lu , you should be sleeping . ", Lu Wei stood up from the bed and wiped his woman's tears .
" How could I sleep ? My baby girl is in so much pain because of me .", the woman looked at the girl .
" Its not because of you Tao .... ", the man sighed but was cut off mid-sentence by the woman .
" It was my mother who brought this up . You know what , I will tell her to leave tomorrow . You and Xinghe are my first priority . I don't want her to hurt you both . Xinghe could have been in danger today , Wei . I can't lose any of you two . I .... can't ... ", Ningtao choked .
" Silly , she is 'our' mother , not just yours . She had been brought up with this mindset since her childhood . We can't just tell her to leave . This is not the way relationships are handled . We will try to convince her . And about Xinghe , I am her brother . I will talk to her tomorrow when she wakes up . ", Lu Wei pulled the sobbing woman in his arms .
" Why are you so calm ? She has clearly lost her mind ! I don't care what you do . But if I see my sister-in-law going through such a pain again , I will pack her bags and throw them out of this place ! ", Ningtao warned .
" Hmmm ", a smile appeared across Lu Wei's lips .
And of course , her sister-in-laws were no less , Xi Yuan thought .

Next morning ;
The girl finally opened her eyes and sat up on the bed as she scratched her head in confusion .
She was stunned to see the scene in front of her . Lu Wei and Xi Yuan were signing some documents on the coffee table .
But then she remembered last night .
" Brother ", the girl said in hoarse and raspy voice .
The two men looked at her before Lu Wei stood up and walked towards her .
The girl put on a slight smile on her lips and stretched her hands ," Morning "
Lu Wei sat down beside her and hugged her tightly ," I am sorry ! "
Rong Xinghe smiled ,"Its fine . I was wrong . I reacted too sensitively . But brother , you will have to talk to her . There is no way I am tolerating this gender determination crap . "
The man released the girl from his embrace and patted her head ," Of course , I will not allow that . But don't take any of her words to heart . Alright ? "
The girl nodded like a rattle drum before she pushed Lu Wei out of the bed ," Now go ! Go and give my sister-in-law a morning kiss . And make some breakfast for her as well ."
::::::::::::::::::
After Lu Wei left , the girl glanced at Xi Yuan with a muddled expression before she got down the bed and walked towards him .
" I came here to talk business with Senior Lu ", the man explained .
" Did he told you something about me last night ? ", the girl furrowed her brows.
" Nope ", the man smiled .
It was better for her to not worry about it .
" Alright . Get out . I need to get a shower . ", the girl pointed towards the door .
The man smirked and closed in on the girl as he kissed her forehead lovingly ," Is this the way to treat a guest , Military Chief ?! I am so grateful ... I will be waiting down for you . "
The man then turned around as he left the girl in her frozen state .

9:00 a.m.
As soon as the girl walked down the stairs of the place , Ningtao rushed towards her and pulled her in a warm hug .
" I am sorry baby ! "
" Its alright . Calm down . ", Rong Xinghe patted the woman's back.
" Bro Lu . I will leave now . Take care of my sister-in-law "
Lu Wei nodded and the girl turned around to leave but it was now that she saw Mother Ning approaching her .
" Xinghe ... I ... "
" If my brother or sister-in-law are affected in all this , then I might do something beyond your imagination . And trust me . My anger is not something even the toughest of the terrorists can endure , then who do you think you are ?! ", Rong Xinghe's voice turned colder than the ice .
Almost everyone in the living room were shocked when they heard the girl's words.
It was rare for Rong Xinghe to use such a tone when she interacted with anyone related to her brothers .
But then again , her reaction wasn't unreasonable at all .
Everyone knew how much this girl doted on her brothers .
It wasn't just the six men who liked to protect her .
" Let's go , Yuan ", the girl exited the place and the man followed her.
