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

Lu Xi was stunned by Lu Yao's yelling, and then she couldn't help but pouting in grievance, "Sister, what's wrong with you suddenly?"

But when she saw Lu Yao's eyes were red, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yao wiped her tears and said, "That pendant is very important to you. It's not made of a wine bottle, but jade."

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, and his expression instantly became serious.

Jade?

Jadeware is not extremely expensive, but for them at that time, they could not afford such things.

Moreover, her parents favored boys over girls and always wanted to have a boy to carry on the family line, so it was absolutely impossible for them to buy her a jade pendant.

What's the matter?

An answer was about to come out in Lu Xi's heart.

Cao Xiuqin was incredulous. "Lu Yao, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your parents buy a jade pendant?"

Cao Xiuqin didn't know that Lu Xi's hairpin was made of diamond and was worth one million, so when she heard that the pendant was made of jade, she immediately thought that Lu Yao was lying.

Lu Yao was cautious and didn't explain to Cao Xiuqin. It was enough for the two sisters to know.

She looked at Lu Xi quietly and said, "Xixi, that jade pendant is quite valuable, but I lost it."

Lu Xi lowered her head and changed the subject, saying, "The crabs are ready. I'll go serve them. We'll talk after we finish eating."

"Xixi, listen to me..."

"Sister, I'm hungry. I want to eat first."

Lu Xi interrupted Lu Yao with a firm attitude.

Lu Yao's breathing was sluggish. Judging from her sister's expression, she should have guessed it.

Yes.

There was a jade pendant and a diamond hairpin worth millions. These two things appeared in a poor rural home like theirs. They were really out of place. Even if one was not very smart, one should have been able to figure it out. What's more, Lu Xi was a very smart girl.

Lu Yao let out a long sigh and said nothing more. The two sisters kept silent and cooked in silence.

Afterwards, the two sisters sat at the table with Cao Xiuqin and Guoguo.

Lu Xi didn't say anything the whole time. She just focused on eating, crushing the crab legs with her teeth and eating the meat inside.

Lu Yao broke off the crab legs and put them on her plate. "Give me the crab legs, and you can just eat the meat inside."

Lu Xi glared at her: "I like crab legs!"

"Xixi, I'm the one who eats the crab legs every time." Lu Yao sighed. Is her sister going against her?

Lu Xi lowered her eyes, "That's because you always give me the meatier ones."

In fact, the so-called "each time" is not much. Lu Yao sometimes goes to the market to buy those freshly dead crabs. They are quite big, but only ten yuan per pound.

Che Nan's family is large, and Che Nan and Che Zhenguo both like to eat crabs, so even if Lu Yao buys a lot, there is only one crab that can be shared between Lu Xi and Lu Yao.

Lu Yao felt sorry for her sister, so she only ate a few crab legs each time and gave the rest to Lu Xi.

Later, Lu Yao bought a lot, but Li Qian would scold her for being a spendthrift, saying that seafood could not be eaten overnight, and that the seafood was dead, so it was even more inedible.

Lu Yao asked her to eat it. Although Li Qian didn't say anything, she glared at her, as if to say, "Do you deserve it? Even if it's not fresh, I can't let you eat it."

Lu Xi remembered all of these.

No one spoke during the entire meal.

Cao Xiuqin was good at reading people's faces, and Guoguo was also a smart girl. She knew at a glance that her mother and aunt were in a bad mood, so she ate quietly so as not to make her mother and aunt angry.

After dinner, Lu Xi left early.

Lu Yao chased after him and wanted to talk about this matter, but Lu Xi said, "I know everything, you don't have to take it to heart."

"Xixi, I'm sorry."

Lu Xi's nose was sour, "You are my sister, why do you feel sorry for me?! I don't know what the pendant is, I only know that you raised me.

"I only know that since I was six years old, I have no parents but I have a sister. My sister has taken care of me, fed me, sent me to school, and even brought me with her when she got married. To me, you are the most important person."

Lu Yao's eyes became hot and tears fell without warning.

"Okay, sister, go in, and don't mention this matter anymore. It's just like before, we don't know anything."

Lu Xi later called Zhuang Yi. She wanted to have a drink with her best friend because she was feeling very depressed.

Zhuang Yi was simply a little drunkard, and since the girl was accompanying her best friend, she immediately agreed, changed her clothes and went out.

Fu Beibei frowned when she saw her daughter going out at night again. "Going out at night again? Girls should seldom go out at night. What if they encounter danger?"

Zhuang Guanlin also frowned in disagreement, "Your mother is right. Although you are not as pretty as your parents were when they were young, you are still a little girl, and someone with bad eyesight will also stare at you."

Zhuang Yi was so angry that she was speechless. "Old Zhuang, listen to yourself, are you talking like a human being? What do you mean I'm not as pretty as my mother was when she was young?"

Fu Beibei also frowned, "What do you mean not as pretty as I was when I was young? Am I not pretty now? Can Yiyi compare to me now?"

Zhuang Guanlin rubbed his brows and tried to smile, "Beibei, that's not what I meant. You have always been beautiful in my eyes."

"What about me?" Zhuang Yi was unhappy. "And what do you mean by poor eyesight? Do you mean that people with good eyesight don't like me?"

Fu Beibei smiled, "People with good eyesight would be scared away by your impetuous temper."

"You just have a good personality."

Zhuang Yi pouted at her mother and said, "I'm not going to talk to you two anymore. I'm going to drink with Xixi."

When Lu Xi was mentioned, Fu Beibei's smile faded a little.

She had a very good impression of Lu Xi. Plus, her daughter Yi Yi was a close friend of that kid, so she liked that girl very much.

It's just that because of her mother's side, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Be careful, I'll let the driver follow you."

"I know, Mr. Buddha, you should get some beauty sleep. My dad won't love you if you have wrinkles. He is a typical face control. Yesterday he said that you have wrinkles at the corners of your eyes and you are not as beautiful as when you were young."

Zhuang Yi grinned, then quickly ran away after saying that.

Fu Beibei looked at Zhuang Guanlin coldly, "I'm not as pretty as I was when I was young? Okay, Zhuang Guanlin, you are starting to dislike me, right? What's the matter, do you have a girl you like?"

Zhuang Guanlin swore quickly, "I swear I didn't, my little cotton-padded jacket was leaking, I was deliberately cheating on you!"

It's so funny, how dare he say his wife has wrinkles? His wife had a model figure when she was young, and she still has a model figure now. She is beautiful at all times. How can those girls out there compare to her?

**

Longtang Hall.

Lu Xi was riding a shared bicycle and had just arrived at the club where she had agreed to meet with Zhuang Yi when a sports car came crashing down and knocked her down with a bang.

"Hiss..." Lu Xi's elbow hit the tooth of the road, and she felt a dull pain immediately. She couldn't help but gasp.

Before Lu Xi could stand up, the girl in the car got out, looked down at Lu Xi, and cursed with hatred: "Are you fucking blind?! You don't have eyes when you ride a bike? Can't you see there's a car in front of you?! My new Porsche was damaged by you, hurry up and compensate me!"
