"Iāll have Daniel apologize to you later. All couples argue, if you come to the police station every time you quarrel, will you be heading to court next?"
Though Hela maintained a smile throughout, her tone was particularly assertive, less a discussion, more a decision already made.
Nancy was not originally lacking in presence compared to her, but now, buried under a pile of debts, she clearly lost her confidence.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly looked at Luis. Luis immediately smiled and said, "Okay, but since everyone is still angry right now, itās better to avoid meeting."
"The second son-in-law is considerate enough. Then, auntie will take your brother-in-law away first."
Hela stood up, smiling warmly, and said, "Later, I will have Daniel apologize to you."
After signing the mediation agreement, they could see from upstairs that Daniel followed Hela into her BMW 5 Series. From his cursing and grumbling, it seemed he was complaining that Nancy had made a big deal out of nothing.
"Didnāt you drive here?"
Standing at the entrance of the police station, Nancy asked subconsciously.
"Taking a taxi is much more convenient than driving."
Nancyās mood was clearly quite low. After returning home, she told Ruth the outcome. Ruth was furious but also somewhat helpless.
After all, the fact that Hela belonged to the elite class was undeniable. Although she treated people politely, deep down, she looked down on the Wood family.
In terms of family background, both she and her husband held leadership positions. At the very least, their family was intact and moderately wealthy. In contrast, Arthur from the Wood family worked in construction engineering, which in her eyes made him nothing more than a country bumpkin.
As for Ruth, she was a shrew, a mere housewife. No matter how little interaction they had, it was obvious she lacked refinement.
Moreover, it was no secret that Arthur kept a mistress outside. In Helaās view, the Wood family had a very disordered upbringing. The only thing they could boast about was Nancyās looks, marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law was acceptable.
Even among the flight attendants, Nancy, who had been called the campus belle, stood out from the crowd. At 172 cm tall, wearing high heels made Daniel look short.
As for her appearance, it went without saying. Being the campus belle in a school where women outnumbered men meant she was absolutely stunning. With a face like that, she could easily make a name for herself even in an art school or film academy.
She chose to become a flight attendant mainly because her academic performance was poor, and she didnāt enter the entertainment industry because her family lacked the money to invest.
Even under these circumstances, Hela still looked down on her daughter-in-law, believing Nancy was nothing but a pretty vase and that her son had been foolishly blinded by lust.
For someone like Daniel, who idlely relied on his parents without ambition, to actually think Nancy wasnāt good enough for his precious son, Hela was nothing but a doting mother who had spoiled her child.
"Elder Sister, donāt move!"
Luis brought ice cubes wrapped in a towel and gently pressed it against the dazed Nancyās face, saying, "Although itās not serious, itās better to ice it. The swelling will go down soon."
"Thank you, I can do it myself!"
Nancy took the ice, feeling that this was somewhat inappropriate.
Luis didnāt mind. He sat to the side, smoking and fiddling with his phone.
Ruth didnāt see anything wrong with this behavior. Instead, she smiled with warmth and approval, "Look how thoughtful your brother-in-law is. Sometimes, Mom feels even we women arenāt as attentive as him."
"Yeah, that girl Lily, if she dares to play the pitiful little wife in front of me again, Iāll definitely give her a hard slap."
Nancyās mood gradually brightened. She glanced subconsciously at her brother-in-law, then thought of her own husband, and felt a twist of jealousy in her heart.
"Wife, I didnāt buy groceries for dinner. Letās eat out."
"Canāt you be more conscious as a pregnant woman? Please donāt pinch pennies when it comes to food."
"Last time, didnāt you say your colleague mentioned that new teppanyaki place..."
"Itās settled then. Iāll pick you up after work."
Luis hung up the phone and said, "Mom, Iāll send you the location. You and Elder Sister go first. Iāll pick up Lily after work."
Ruth said coquettishly, "Eating out again? What a waste of money."
"Some things are worth spending on. Lilyās colleagues have been tempting her with talk of it, of course I have to take her today."
"See you later."
Lily and Yana worked at a community hospital. The small hospital mainly handled physical exams and issued health certificates. It was quite laid-back, but the pay wasnāt high, jokingly referred to as a place suited for retirement.
"Husband, why are you here so early?"
The hospital was very quiet, with only a few people getting IV drips in the outpatient hall. Lily was sitting at the payment counter and stood up in delight when she saw her husband.
"Itās so hot outside. Is the air conditioning here working alright?"
Luis smiled and handed her the juice heād bought on the way, of course, heād bought multiple cups, not just one. Lily immediately shared them with her supervisor and close colleagues.
"Honey, thereās still half an hour until get off work."
The payment counter wasnāt a place anyone could just enter. The other colleagues tactfully let Lily step out to spend time with her husband.
"Wife, last time you mentioned hair removal, I want to try it."
Luis lowered his voice and said with a mischievous grin, "The hairās gotten a bit long, itās inconvenient. You always say itās prickly and uncomfortable. Since itās a good time, why not help me out?"
"How could I do it for you? Iāve long forgotten how!"
Lilyās face flushed. It was true she had trained in nursing.
But after finishing her internship and obtaining her license, she never pursued further certifications. Over the years, sheād been doing easy clerical work, and whatever knowledge sheād had was long returned to her teachers.
"Then what should I do? Can you find a colleague who knows how?"
Lily thought for a moment, then said softly, "How about we ask Aunt Yana? Even though sheās now the head nurse, she has plenty of experience."
"Ask her? Wouldnāt that be awkward?"
Luisās eyes lit up, though on the surface he feigned embarrassment and shyness.
"I wouldnāt trust anyone else. What if they accidentally nicked your dick? That would be dangerous."
While speaking, Lily texted to ask, then suddenly stuck out her tongue and said, "I forgot she wasnāt working today, she took the capital. Aunt Yana said for you to come find her next time. Sheāll take care of it in just a few strokes."
"How can she talk about such an important part of me like sheās slicing pork?"
"Hehe, Iām the one who loves that important part of yours the most. Aunt Yana is an elder and a seasoned nurse, you think sheād even glance twice at you?"
Not only did she glance, she even rode it... To be honest, your momās best friend was really something when she was on top.
The teppanyaki restaurant that Lily had been longing for was a high-end establishment serving Japanese cuisine that felt more like Western food.
The average spending per person was quite high. Signature dishes included grilled baby lobster, Pacific crab, sole fish, teppanyaki steak, and roasted lamb chops. Ordering them one by one brought the bill to over 500 dollars.
"What a rip-off!"
"Iām so full, Mom. Letās go for a walk."
After dinner, the young couple strolled hand in hand, openly flaunting their affection.
After returning home, Ruth unusually did not go out to play cards. After washing up, the two sisters and their mother-in-law gathered in the living room to binge-watch TV dramas. Luis did not particularly enjoy those soap operas.
He simply retreated to his room, opened the system interface, and decided to try his luck by drawing more blind boxes.
As soon as he entered, the system issued a prompt tone:
"Ding... This is a derivative dungeon of the Tall and Sexy Sister-in-Law mission (fuck your mother). The progression difficulty is high. It is recommended that the host exchange two blind boxes for a skill exclusive to this dungeon."
"Thereās such a thing?"
Luis pondered why the difficulty was so high. It was because of Helaās status. She was arrogant and looked down on others. Conquering her through normal strategies would be challenging.
Might as well keep it simple and since the goal was to fuck her, there was no need for fancy tricks.
But two blind boxes? Luis hesitated for a moment. Although Hela was also a mature and beautiful woman, and absolutely stunning when dressed up, her appeal to Luis wasnāt that strong. Her condescending attitude instinctively disgusted him. The biggest attraction was truly because she was Danielās mother.
After fucking her, he could curse, "Fuck your mother!" and he wouldnāt be lying at all.
"Host, would you like to redeem it? The system indicates that this quest item is absolutely perfect for use."
Luisās mind was in turmoil as he asked, "Whatās the mission reward?"
"Ding... Tall and Sexy Sister-in-Law quest derivative dungeon (fuck your mother), creampie Hela, quest reward: one random blind box and one attribute point."
This reward seemed a bit meager, especially at the cost of two blind boxes??
Luis was truly torn between conscience and desire. The main reason was that Luis didnāt want to spend time and energy on Hela, let alone engage in any romantic entanglements.
