To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Chapter 239: You know about the wooden box? Did you see what was inside?

Qin Lie walked up to her quickly, his expression very serious, "She is very uncomfortable like this, let her go first."

Fu Nanzhou's eyebrows sank, and his voice became even colder, "Qin Lie?"

As he spoke, he had already let go of Lu Xi and put her on the ground.

"What a coincidence." Qin Lie said indifferently.

Fu Nanzhou said "hmm" and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you in the mood to come here?"

Before Qin Lie could speak, Zhuang Yi rolled his eyes and laughed, "Brother Qin Lie, why are you so dishonest? Aren't you here to find Xixi?"

Qin Lie frowned, but still nodded, "Indeed, I have something to tell you."

When Lu Xi heard this, she immediately thought of Che Nan's family. As long as the case had not been judged, she could not take it lightly, so she quickly said, "Captain Qin, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Lu Xi broke free from Fu Nanzhou's hand.

Qin Lie nodded and stretched out his hand to protect Lu Xi as she walked out, fearing that people would squeeze her.

However, Qin Lie had a strong sense of boundaries. He didn't put his arms around Lu Xi, and he didn't even touch her.

Fu Nanzhou felt upset, his handsome face was stern, his eyes were filled with sharp cold light, and his sexy thin lips were tightly pursed because of the hidden anger.

He did not stop Lu Xi, but took a long step to follow her, but Zhuang Yi stood in front of him.

"Uncle, I'm scared to be alone. You can't leave a kind and well-behaved girl like me here alone." Zhuang Yi grinned, put her hands under her chin and made a flower gesture.

Fu Nanzhou glanced at her coldly, "Are you scared? Play by yourself."

"No." How could Zhuang Yi let her uncle go find Xixi?

Fu Nanzhou was a little impatient, and followed Lu Xi closely with his eyes, "Zhuang Yi, stop messing around."

"Why did I act so crazy? Shouldn't an uncle protect his niece?"

Fu Nanzhou's eyes darkened, and his tone was full of warning, "Zhuang Yi!"

Zhuang Yi also lowered her eyes and sneered, "Oh, you're in a hurry now? That's fine, I don't want to waste time with my uncle anyway. Let me be frank, you are not suitable for Xixi, just divorce quickly."

"Zhuang Yi!" Fu Nanzhou gritted his teeth.

Zhuang Yi rolled her eyes and said, "Am I wrong? You two have been married for two months, Gao Ning was born, and now grandma is still making a fuss, and I think great-grandpa doesn't want you to be together.

"Uncle, let me tell you the truth. Our family's situation is quite complicated. My sister is already miserable enough. Please don't make her suffer any more."

Fu Nanzhou clenched his fists, "Didn't you introduce her to Jiang Yizhou before?!"

When Zhuang Yi mentioned Jiang Yizhou, her mind went blank for a moment. She recalled that she woke up on Jiang Yizhou's bed last night. Her cheeks flushed. She was nervous and guilty, so her voice rose unconsciously. "Brother Jiang is different! He can take care of girls! He understands girls! But you don't. When it comes to relationships, you are so dumb!"

Fu Nanzhou was speechless.

"Uncle, haven't you figured out what happened tonight? Xixi was beaten to a pulp with just a table. The gap between you two is too big. The gap between you two is really too big. Xixi can't make it at all."

Fu Nanzhou retorted in a deep voice, "I don't care!"

Zhuang Yi sneered, "You don't care, but Lu Xi does! She will be uneasy and at a loss! Think about it, your identity will be completely exposed sooner or later, and you will have to attend various banquets, and you will definitely have a female companion by your side.

"If that person is not Lu Xi, how can you let Lu Xiqing be at peace? But if Lu Xi stands next to you, what will others say about her?!

"A said, oh my, how come this girl is so lucky? Her family has no background, but she can let the heir of Fu Group marry her.

"B said that this is not just luck, it requires skill."

"C said, wow, I really can't tell, this girl looks quite innocent, but her methods are quite powerful. It turns out that every pretty girl should not be underestimated."

"Uncle, there will be many rumors like what I just said in the future. Are you sure you can stop them from talking?

"It is true that there are girls from ordinary families who marry into wealthy families, but those girls must be very miserable. In order to match them, they will constantly chase after them. But why should Xixi chase after you?! Xixi is too tired."

Fu Nanzhou found that he had no way to refute his niece. The words were too straightforward and sharp, and they stung his heart and throat.

Lu Xi originally wanted to find a coffee shop, but Qin Lie said he hadn't eaten yet, so they went to a nearby night market.

Lu Xi sent a location to Zhuang Yi and asked her to come find them, firstly to avoid suspicion and secondly because Zhuang Yi was also hungry.

Qin Lie ordered a bowl of fried noodles, the very thin kind, with vegetables, bean sprouts, carrots and ham. It was full of aroma from the wok and tasted good just by smelling it.

He eats very quickly and his movements are rough, but not in an annoying way.

"Sorry, I didn't have time to eat because I was on a case. I'm a little hungry."

"It's okay, it's okay. Take your time eating." Lu Xi said as she opened a bottle of Pocari Sweat and gave it to Qin Lie.

Qin Lie didn't drink it, because drinking water would take up space in his stomach. He now wanted to fill his empty stomach with staple food so that he would feel full and satisfied.

He ate and said, "I came to you today because when I was listening to the recorded evidence, I found a wooden box in the Sheraton that was burned black. It belonged to your sister. It contained your childhood things. Your sister kept it specially for you."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to laugh. What good things could she have had when she was a child?

Her sister is a very nostalgic person. Even though her parents abandoned them, she still thinks about them. She still keeps the doll that her father bought for her before the divorce.

"Captain Qin, those are unimportant things. Just help me throw them away."

Qin Lie didn't open it to take a look, but the wooden box was indeed quite badly burned, so he just threw it away.

"Okay, I see."

Qin Lie agreed and continued to show off his fried noodles with his head down.

Lu Xi has been waiting for Zhuang Yi, but her best friend hasn't come yet, so she had to send a WeChat message to urge her.

Qin Lie looked at her, "Are you anxious?"

"No, no." Lu Xi waved her hands quickly.

Qin Lie was very perceptive and suddenly realized that she was probably afraid that Fu Nanzhou would be angry, so he quickly sped up and stuffed the last two bites of fried noodles into his mouth. His cheeks were bulging, which didn't look handsome, but was perfectly normal.

In the past, when Lu Xi was working part-time and was in a hurry, he would often stuff his mouth full like this. It was common for him to eat an egg in one bite and a piece of bread in two bites.

Qin Lie ate too fast and choked a little. His handsome face turned red. Lu Xi quickly handed him the pulse and said anxiously, "Captain Qin, drink some water."

Qin Lie said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

In the past, Qin Lie didn't care much about his image. He had experienced spitting food and water in front of female colleagues, but he was not as embarrassed as he was in front of this little girl.

Lu Xi smiled and said, "No, I feel like I see myself in Captain Qin. When I was in college, I was busy with my part-time job and almost choked on an egg."

Qin Lie looked at the girl's beautiful smile, but he felt uncomfortable. Girls of her age were all in love without worries, so how could she be like this?

"Lu Xi, just call me Qin Lie in private from now on. Although I am a policeman, I also have my own friends."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Qin Lie wiped the oil off his mouth with a tissue. He didn't want to leave and wanted to go shopping at the night market nearby.

"If you're okay, we..."

Before Qin Lie could finish speaking, his phone rang.

Qin Lie walked over to the side and picked up the phone. His expression immediately froze. He hung up the phone and hurriedly said to Lu Xi, "I have to get back to the station. Be careful and go find Zhuang Yi. Let me know when you find her."

"Okay, get busy."

Looking at Qin Lie's hurried back, Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh, being a policeman is really not easy, not only do they have to go hungry, but things can happen at any time.

Shaking her head, she went to find Zhuang Yi and sent a message to her sister.

——Sister, I asked Captain Qin to throw away the wooden box.

Lu Yao took a deep breath and immediately called Lu Xi back, "Xixi, do you know about the wooden box? Did you see what's inside?"
