“Give me your phone!” Vivian, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly ordered her husband.

“It’s in my bag. Get it yourself. What do you want to do with my phone?”

"I want to check what you and Sophie usually talk about."

"Tsk, feel free to look through my phone as much as you like!" Leo said disdainfully. "There is nothing between us, so I have nothing to fear."

Vivian started to look through her husband’s phone. After a while, she suddenly snapped at him, “Pull over now!”

“What’s the matter?”

“I asked you to pull over!” Vivian shouted angrily.

Leo quickly stopped the car at the side of the road. Before the car came to a complete stop, Vivian hurriedly got out of the car and walked back while crying.

"What the f**k!" Leo cursed. He immediately stalled the car and got out to chase after Vivian. Grabbing hold of her hand, he asked, "What's wrong? What are you angry about?"

"Let go of me!" Vivian shook his hand off and continued to walk forward. There were already curious pedestrians on the side of the road stopping to watch them.

"What are you mad about?"

Saying that, Leo picked up his wife and carried her back to the car. After closing the car door, he asked in an extremely puzzled manner, "Why did you get angry all of a sudden?"

Vivian wiped her tears and said with the mobile phone in her hand, "Why did you block me?”

He was doomed. He had forgotten all about it. Leo knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, he would completely offend his wife.

At this critical moment, he immediately thought of putting all the blame on Sophie.

“I blocked you? How is that possible? Let me take a look!”

After pretending to check through it, he pretended to be annoyed and said, "Sophie is being a little absurd this time. My phone ran out of battery, so I asked her to help charge it. I didn't expect that she would do such a thing."

“Did Sophie do this?”

“It must be her. I was smoking at the window at that time. She was the only person in the house, and my phone was also in her hands. Who else could it be if it wasn’t her?”

Vivian pondered for a while before she finally nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll believe you this time. Don’t let her touch your phone in the future.”

“Okay, I got it. I won’t let her touch my phone again in the future.”

“How dare she block me. I’ll delete her from the contact list!” Vivian said furiously.

Leo grinned upon hearing that. Sophie will definitely contact him today. If she found out that her name had been removed from his contact list, it would inevitably cause another trouble. That woman had a really big temper as well.

It was just that his wife was still mad at him at this moment. If he didn't let her vent her anger, he was definitely going to have a hard time. Forgot it. He would just go with the flow and apologize to Sophie when he saw her.

Vivian still felt angry even after deleting Sophie’s contact, so she continued to look through her husband’s phone. She even found out all the evidence he had saved in his phone.

Looking at the so-called evidence. Vivian couldn’t help but give her husband a huge scolding. After that, she deleted all the videos and photos on his phone.

Due to that, all Leo's efforts had gone to waste. However, he didn't feel sad about it because all these things were useless at first.

Leo drove into the Renaissance Hotel. After parking the car, the two headed toward the hotel lobby.

It was only until this moment that Leo finally began to feel a little nervous.

After all, he was going to meet Vivian's parents. However, he married their daughter first even before meeting them. No matter what, they would definitely pick on him.

Although there was a reason for this, other people would certainly not think that way. If you put it nicely, he had married their daughter without getting their approval.

This was often how life was. It was always a matter between reason and situation. Sometimes, you talked about the reason without looking at the situation. There were also times when you looked at the situation without talking about the reason.

In this situation, Vivian’s family might not treat Leo politely.

Leo was alone, and had no one to help him except his wife. How could he not be nervous when he knew that Vivian's parents might make things difficult for him.

He braced himself and walked inside. Sensing his uneasiness, Vivian held his hand and said, "Honey, don't be afraid. You still have me."

Leo grinned, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying while thinking, "If it weren't because of you, would I encounter such a situation? It's useless to say anything now.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, they saw Mrs. Laura and a middle-aged woman walked toward them. Mrs. Laura said with a smile, "Vivian, you're here!"

“Mrs. Laura, have dad and mom got out of bed?”

Before Mrs. Laura could answer, the middle-aged woman answered, “They have gotten up after receiving your call. They are waiting for you in the room. Quickly go up now!"

Vivian hummed assent, held Leo's arm and said to the middle-aged woman and Mrs. Laura, “Let me formally introduce you all to each other. This is my husband, Leo!"

Then she turned to Leo and said, "This is my fifth aunt, and that is Mrs. Laura. You guys have met each other before."

"Hello fifth aunt. Hello Mrs. Laura!" Leo greeted them politely. The two women obviously didn't seem to like him very much. The fifth aunt only reluctantly nodded her head while Mrs. Laura simply ignored him.

Vivian frowned upon seeing that. She was very dissatisfied with their attitudes but didn’t bother to say anything. Grabbing Leo, she headed straight to the elevator while the two women followed behind her.

The elevator stopped at the 12th floor. The fifth aunt and Mrs. Laura got off the elevator first, and led them straight to room 1225.

Someone opened the door from the inside after they knocked on it.

Leo felt extremely awkward when he saw that person. Tommy, the man who had been beaten up badly by him, was staring at him with an indignant face at this moment.

“Where are my parents?” Vivian asked.

"Both of them are waiting for you inside the room. Vivian, your dad asked Leo to go inside alone. He would like to talk to him in private. You can go to another room to rest first..."

“No!” Vivian immediately refused. “If there is anything, say it in front of both of us. Otherwise, don’t say it.”

Tommy revealed an awkward expression upon hearing Vivian’s words. Just when he was about to persuade her again, a dignified voice came from inside of the room, “Tommy, let them come in!”

Tommy got out of the way and opened the door wide. Then, Vivian held Leo's hand and walked into the room together.

This was a luxurious suite consisting of a living room and several bedrooms. Inside the living room, there were three people. Two of them were sitting and the other one was standing.

The two people sitting were around fifty years old. They looked graceful and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament. Looking at how close they sat to each other on the sofa, it seemed that they must be husband and wife.

There was another slightly younger middle-aged man standing behind them, looking at them with a solemn expression.

Even without his wife's introduction, Leo had already guessed their identities. The one standing should be Vivian's fifth uncle, and the two sitting should be her parents.

For a moment, Leo was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to say. He was standing in the room with a stiff expression on his face.

Vivian released her grip on her husband's hand and generously introduced each other, "Dad, Mom, fifth uncle, this is my husband, Leo. Honey, they are my parents, and that is my fifth uncle!"

"Dad, Mom, fifth uncle!" Leo bowed deeply to the three elders.

"Don't call us that way!" Vivian's father said coldly, "Mr. Leo, please know where you stand. You must be clear that we won’t acknowledge you as our son-in-law.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Vivian’s father's opening speech had instantly turned the conversation into a confrontation.

Vivian said in a displeased tone, “Dad, this is my husband. We’re already married. Whether you acknowledge him or not, it is not going to change this fact. Is it necessary for you to still say like this now?”

“Vivian, are you going to hurt our hearts like that?” Vivian’s mother said with a choked voice, “We raised you. Is this how you are going to repay us?”

“I won’t forget that you two brought me up, but that shouldn’t be a reason for you to interfere in my marriage. I’m your daughter, not your pet!” Vivian said stubbornly.

“You insolent child!” Vivian’s father immediately stood up. Pointing at Vivian, he scolded, “You are an unfilial daughter. Are you trying to rebel against your parents now?”

“Alright, alright. You guys are fighting again as soon as you all meet. We are at a hotel now, and there are still other guests around. Please keep your voices down. Don’t make a fool of yourselves in front of the outsiders!” the fifth aunt said in a persuasive tone.

Tommy walked over and helped Vivian’s father to sit down. Then, he squinted his eyes at Vivian and said, “Sister Vivian, just apologize to your parents. You guys are family. Don’t quarrel with each other.”

Leo couldn’t continue to listen to his words anymore. For some reason, he really hated Tommy. He always had a feeling that Tommy had an ulterior motive. Upon hearing his words, he instantly couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

Just when he was about to retort, Vivian stopped him and said to everyone with a serious face, “I don’t think I have done anything wrong. I have the right to pursue my own happiness, and no one can deprive me of my right to this!

“Have we deprived you of your right to pursue happiness?” Vivian’s mother questioned her, “We just want you to marry someone who comes from an equal social status. Aren’t we doing this for your own good?”

Vivian turned to Leo and said, “Mr. Leo, I’ll repeat myself. Vivian’s mother and I will not acknowledge this marriage. We hope that you can leave Vivian. We can give you a sum of money as compensation.”

Upon hearing these words, Leo took a deep breath, and felt relaxed. Then, he asked with a chuckle, “How much can you give me?”

Upon hearing that, all of Vivian’s family members cast a contemptuous look at Leo. Vivian pulled her husband’s sleeve and whispered, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Leo held her hand, motioning her to stay calm.

Vivian’s parents didn’t directly answer his question. The fifth uncle, who was standing behind the sofa, replied disdainfully, “If you are willing to leave Li Vivian on your own, I can give you a million dollar!”

Leo laughed, patted his wife’s hand and said teasingly, “Did you hear that? To them, you are only worth a million dollars!”

“Leo, you b*st*rd!” Tommy bellowed.

“There is no place for you to speak here. Who the hell do you think you are? This is a matter between Vivian and me. It’s not something a b*st*rd like you can intervene in.” Leo retorted unceremoniously.

“You must be tired of living!” Tommy was so furious that he was about to dash over.

“Tommy, you are getting a little too much!” Vivian said coldly.

Tommy immediately stopped. He seemed to be very afraid of Vivian and retreated indignantly.
