Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

This time, Fu Yan didn't hide anything or make excuses, simply nodding decisively. "That's right, I'm the mayor of this town!" he admitted. "So, little brother, can you please understand my position?"

At this point, Fu Yan had humbled himself so much that Liu Ergou couldn't refuse again or find another excuse to get out of it. To do so would have been a huge slap in the face.

"So that's how it is!" Liu Ergou said, his expression one of sudden understanding. "Since you're being so reasonable, I, Liu Ergou, can't be unreasonable either, right?"

"Wait here. I'll go tell my sister-in-law, and then I'll be ready to go with you."

Hearing Liu Ergou agree to go with him, Fu Yan beamed with joy and nodded enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Liu Ergou quickly returned to his room to briefly explain the situation to his sister-in-law. After doing so, he brought up another matter.

"Oh, right, sister-in-law, I almost forgot to tell you," he added. "The village head told me our village is opening a clinic. He wants me to manage it, but I need to get a medical license first."

"I can use this trip to town to get it, so I might be gone for a while! If I'm back late, don't worry about me!"

After Xu Yulan nodded obediently in agreement, Liu Ergou finally felt at ease. He changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

He got into Fu Yan's sedan, and they headed straight for the town.

On the way, Ergou told Fu Yan about his need for a medical license. Regarding the matter, Fu Yan patted his chest and assured him that he would take care of it. He promised that Liu Ergou could get his license in less than half a month without any trouble, only needing to study occasionally. When Liu Ergou heard this, his worries finally subsided.

Soon, Fu Yan had brought Liu Ergou to town, driving directly to a villa district. After a few moments, they arrived. Fu Yan's home was a luxurious and impressive two-story villa located in this district.

Having never seen such a place in his life, Liu Ergou was naturally astonished. He simply tilted his head back and stared, taking it all in.

Seeing this, Fu Yan didn't interrupt, just waiting quietly by his side. After about ten seconds, Liu Ergou finally lowered his gaze.

Fu Yan then said, "This is where I'm staying for now. It's a bit simple, but please don't mind."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou was momentarily speechless and could only nod dumbly. He followed Fu Yan into the villa.

What Liu Ergou didn't expect was that the moment he stepped inside, he was met with the sound of a heated argument.

"Shut up, you're so annoying! You're what, a year or two older than me? How can you have the audacity to lecture me like an elder! You have some nerve!"

"Fu Ya, watch your mouth! So what if I'm two years older? That still makes me your elder and your stepmother, and there was nothing wrong with what I said!"

The words had barely faded when a figure rushed out of a room, heading straight for the front door. Liu Ergou happened to be standing right there, and the figure barreled straight into him.

"Ouch!"

The person cried out in pain and looked up to see who was blocking her path, wondering who would dare get in her way. One look was all it took for her to cry out in surprise.

"Oh my, Little Brother Ergou! What are you doing at my house!"

Indeed, the person who had run out was Fu Ya. Just as Liu Ergou was about to respond, Fu Yan cut in.

"Xiao Ya, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with your mother again!" he chided. "She's only doing this for your own good, how can you act like this! Hurry back and apologize to your mother, you..."

Fu Yan hadn't finished his sentence.

Fu Ya retorted angrily, "Are you getting senile? You still expect me to call *her* 'Mom'? Take a look at how much older she is than me! And look at yourself, doing such shameful things!"

With that, her expression instantly changed to a bright smile as she turned back to Liu Ergou.

"Little Brother Ergou, it's so great you're here! I've been wanting to thank you for saving my life, but I never got the chance. This is perfect! Come on, come in!"

Saying so, Fu Ya grabbed Liu Ergou's arm and pulled him into the living room. Observing this scene, Fu Yan shook his head helplessly but said no more, following them inside.

As soon as Liu Ergou entered the living room, he saw a woman sitting on the couch. She looked to be in her thirties, beautiful, with long, lustrous black hair cascading over her shoulders. She exuded a mature charm that was simply irresistible. Moreover, the woman was wearing a very thin nightgown; any large movement threatened to reveal too much. This made Liu Ergou so embarrassed he had to turn his head away.

The woman was clearly taken aback when she saw Fu Ya lead Liu Ergou in. She froze for a good ten seconds before hurriedly covering her chest and rushing back to her room without a word.

Just then, Fu Ya said, "Little Brother Ergou, sit down! I'll get you some fruit!" With that, she pushed Liu Ergou onto the sofa and went to the fridge.

At that moment, Fu Yan also walked in and sat down beside Liu Ergou.

"I'm sorry, Little Brother Ergou. What an embarrassing thing to witness the moment you arrive," he said apologetically. "As you saw, that's my wife—Fu Ya's stepmother. She's close in age to my daughter, so they often have disagreements and argue. Please bear with us."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou felt too awkward to say anything. But before he could even open his mouth, Fu Ya's voice cut in.

"Are you insane? How many times do I have to tell you, that woman is not my stepmother!"
