66: Chapter 66: The Past of Xu Wei's Family.
"Hubby, where are we going now!"
Li Luo, who was stroking her leg, heard this and said casually.
"Let's go take a look at your place!"
"Go to my place? That house was built when my dad was still alive, and it hasn't been lived in for many years now."
Li Luo then asked with some confusion.
"Don't you have a house in the county?"
Xu Wei answered with a calm expression.
"No, the house in the county is rented. Besides, how could we afford to buy a house? My mom raised my brother and me all by herself; it hasn't been easy."
"Then let's go take a look at the house you're renting in the county!"
"Alright then. Hubby, drive slowly. I'll give you directions; turn right up ahead."
Li Luo was driving with one hand when he suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Since your mom is in this situation, don't your relatives help out?"
Hearing this, Li Luo clearly noticed a trace of anger on Xu Wei's face.
"Hubby, you don't know this, but my maternal grandparents passed away when I was little. My mom has an older brother, my uncle."
"Back when my dad passed away, he wanted to help my mom find a new husband."
Li Luo said, somewhat confused:
"Isn't that a good thing? At the very least, you could support each other in the future!"
"Hubby, listen to me finish first."
"Slap."
Xu Wei suddenly slapped his mischievous hand and said with feigned anger.
"Where are you touching? If you don't want to listen, I won't tell you."
Li Luo said somewhat awkwardly.
"Can't blame me; my hand wouldn't listen. Go on, I'm listening."
Xu Wei watched him move his hand lower and rolled her eyes at him.
Only then did she continue.
"My mom's initial thought was similar to yours—to have a companion for life so she could have an easier time. Who knew that the person my uncle introduced to my mom was an old bachelor from the next village."
"Not only was he fifteen years older than my mom, but he also demanded that my little brother, who was only a few years old, be given away. Because of this, my mom had a huge fight with my uncle, and she hasn't been back to her maiden home since."
"Later, we found out that my uncle had accepted sixty thousand yuan in bride price from that man. As for my dad's side of the family, there are a few relatives, but they have nothing to do with my mom. They're all just waiting to fight over my grandmother's inheritance, so how would they have time to care about us?"
"What do you mean, your grandmother's inheritance?"
"My grandfather passed away a few years ago, leaving only my grandmother. Anyway, all I know is that she has dementia. As for whether she has any other illnesses, I'm not sure. When I went back to see her last time, she was already on her deathbed."
"Since that's the case, you all should have a share of the inheritance!"
Hearing this, Xu Wei looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Hubby, you're overthinking it. Not to mention whether they'd even acknowledge us since my dad passed away so long ago, even if they did, how could my mom, who has a different surname, fight them for it?"
"When my grandfather was alive, we would occasionally go back to visit them both. Since he passed away, we've basically rarely gone back. Even if we did, my grandmother wouldn't recognize who we are."
"The main thing is that my mom is disgusted by such things. She never thought about wanting my grandmother's inheritance. Hubby, tell me yourself, isn't it disgusting? The person hasn't even passed away yet, and they're already eyeing that meager inheritance."
"It is indeed disgusting."
"So, we've cut off ties with both sides."
Li Luo nodded in sudden realization. In the end, it was all caused by greed, so he quickly comforted her.
"If you've cut ties, then so be it. It's no big deal. There's no need to stay in contact with those relatives; don't take it to heart."
Xu Wei was speechless at his words. I didn't take it to heart; I wish I would never see those people again in my life.
It was you who wanted to hear it, that's why I told you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother mentioning them.
"Hubby, turn left at the intersection ahead. Drive for another two or three minutes and we'll be at my place."
Soon, the ferrari drove into an old residential complex. What was ridiculous was that there wasn't even a security guard booth at the entrance.
From the outside, the brand-new ferrari sports car looked completely out of place in this old residential complex.
At least from the looks of the people around, Li Luo could see a lot of shock.
Under Xu Wei's guidance, Li Luo drove to the building where she rented, and after much difficulty, found a parking spot nearby to park the car.
After turning off the engine, Li Luo quickly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Even an experienced driver with some confidence like him had to be careful and cautious when entering this complex.
Perhaps because it was built so long ago, the roads in the entire complex were not only very narrow, but looking around, it was mostly elderly people.
Li Luo drove in at a snail's pace, and he didn't dare to honk the horn, for fear of startling someone.
Seeing him like this, Xu Wei had an expression of schadenfreude.
"If I had known, I would have let you park outside the complex. You're really useless, breaking into a sweat just from driving. Don't tell anyone in the future that you drive a ride-hailing car; I can't afford to lose that much face."
After saying that, she started laughing first.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing her like this, Li Luo was so annoyed that he immediately started groping her.
"Hubby, hubby, no... don't... no... don't..."
"I... was... wrong, I was wrong."
"Now you know how to apologize? Where did that arrogant attitude from just now go?"
"Hahaha..."
"Hubby, it's ticklish, ticklish, I... was... just... joking."
Li Luo then let her go.
After their playful scuffle, Li Luo looked at her flushed cheeks, which were truly charming.
A fire suddenly ignited in his heart, and he reached out to wrap his arm around her neck, pressing his lips onto hers.
Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening. She didn't resist; in fact, she even opened her mouth to cooperate.
A few minutes later, the two of them slowly separated.
Looking at her cheeks, where the flush had not yet faded, before she could react.
Li Luo decided to strike first.
"Look at you, how hard you kissed just now; my mouth is swollen. Seriously, it's like you've never seen a man before."
Looking at the dog of a man who had taken advantage and was still acting innocent.
Unable to bear it, Xu Wei grabbed his hand and, under the man's bewildered gaze, bit down hard.
"Ahhh..."
Hearing this sound, Xu Wei instantly felt satisfied.
Li Luo looked at the teeth marks sunk into his flesh.
"Can't win an argument so you resort to biting, huh!"
"Is that biting?"
Just as Li Luo wanted to make a move, he heard Xu Wei's somewhat shy voice.
"Hubby, stop messing around, people outside are watching!"
Li Luo was stunned, and only then did he look outside.
Sure enough, just as Xu Wei said, and when Li Luo looked over, there were quite a few people.
In an old residential complex like this, the appearance of such a luxury car would definitely make people curious.
Li Luo couldn't keep messing around, so after waiting for Xu Wei to tidy her clothes, they got out of the car.
"Hubby, come on in. The house we're renting is a bit small."
Li Luo walked in and looked around; the house had a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout.
After looking around, he asked with some confusion.
"Is there only two rooms? One for your brother, and you sleep in the same room as your mom?"
