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

"Gao Ning." Fu Nanzhou answered straightforwardly.

Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, but with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "What is there for her to talk about?"

Fu Nanzhou knelt on one knee in front of Lu Xi and wanted to hold her hand, but Lu Xi broke free, so he held it in his hand domineeringly again.

"Xixi, it was wrong of me to go to see Gao Ning privately. I only went there because Gao Chengshan was in trouble and it was related to Aunt Liang's death. I don't have any romantic feelings for Gao Ning. Do you believe me?"

Lu Xi pulled the corner of her mouth open, revealing a cold fake smile, "I believe you. You didn't, but didn't she? Fu Nanzhou, can you guarantee that Gao Ning didn't cross the line with you? How did the lipstick on your shirt get on? If you hadn't hugged her, there would be no lipstick mark, right?

"You went to see her and said that your grandfather was ill. Is it so difficult to tell me the truth? Are you so sure that I am such a petty person?"

Fu Nanzhou opened his mouth and only then realized that she was suspicious of him because of his lipstick.

She must have been very sad at that time.

Fu Nanzhou's guilt was growing, and his voice became hoarse, "I'm sorry, Xixi."

Lu Xi smiled bitterly, "Fu Nanzhou, you always say sorry to me! But this is not what I want to hear at all. I just hope that you and Gao Ning will completely cut off contact, instead of secretly keeping in touch with each other like this."

"I still want honesty between husband and wife. You must be hiding something from me. Why did my brother go to Gao Ning? Why did Gao Ning hug my brother?"

Lu Xi had too many questions in her mind.

Originally, she thought Gao Ning was Hao Mengjie, but when they were in the coffee shop, this guess was completely shattered. She didn't understand why Gao Ning was related to her brother!

Fu Nanzhou frowned and looked at Lu Xi with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. It seemed that Xixi really didn't see Gao Ning's face.

"I don't know about my brother's affairs. You have to ask him about this matter. I can only say that I did something wrong in the matter of Gao Ning."

"Can it be solved by just one wrong thing? Fu Nanzhou, I just want to ask you one question, are there other things you are hiding from me?"

Lu Xi looked at him steadily, her usually bright and clear eyes now staring at him sharply, determined to get an answer.

Fu Nanzhou felt like someone was strangling his throat. The answer was about to come out, but he was struggling and hesitating.

Judging from Lu Xi’s reaction, she didn’t know that Gao Ning and Hao Mengjie were the same person. Could that tell her that Hao Mengjie was Shen Pingting?

Obviously not, because sooner or later she will find out that Gao Ning and Hao Mengjie are the same person.

A rapid phone ring interrupted Fu Nanzhou's thoughts. He frowned and answered the phone, "Nanzhou, my dad is awake! He finally woke up!"

Gao Ning's voice of crying with joy could be clearly heard over the phone, and Fu Nanzhou immediately agreed, "I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Fu Nanzhou said in a deep voice: "Gao Chengshan is awake. I'll go over to see him and come back to solve our problem. Is that ok?"

Lu Xi didn't stop him, "That's great, I'll go with you."

"No!" Fu Nanzhou almost blurted out.

Lu Xi was startled, then smiled sarcastically, "Are you afraid that I will tear Gao Ning apart?"

Fu Nanzhou immediately retorted stiffly, "No!"

"If she's not, then why are you so afraid of me meeting Gao Ning? What secret does she have that you're trying to stop me? The more you stop me from going, the more I want to go over and take a look!"

Lu Xi was determined.

She has to fight for many things on her own, including her marriage with Fu Nanzhou.

She immediately went back to the cloakroom, changed her clothes, and prepared to go to the hospital with Fu Nanzhou.

As soon as the two left the room, Shen Mo came back.

The two men looked at each other, and Shen Mo naturally put his arm around his sister's shoulders and pulled her from Fu Nanzhou to his side, "Jiuer, I have something to tell you."

Lu Xi pouted, "If you have anything to say, come back and talk. We have something to go out for now."

Shen Mo tilted his head slightly and whispered in her ear: "Maybe not. It's related to Puff. Don't you want to know?"

Hearing this, Lu Xi stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned to Fu Nanzhou and said, "You go first."

Fu Nanzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The brother and sister entered the study, and Lu Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, did you find my sister?"

"Not yet, but there are clues. Don't worry, it will be confirmed soon."

Lu Xi sat on the sofa, "What clues?"

"I can't tell you for now, and you shouldn't worry too much about it. What you need to do now is to wait for the birth of your baby and take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly." Shen Mo tried to change the subject.

Lu Xi's face darkened, "You did it on purpose, right? You don't want me to see Gao Ning, right? Brother, what's going on between you and Gao Ning?"

Shen Mo walked to the bookshelf, turned his back to Lu Xi and pretended to tidy up the bookshelf. His slender fingers swept across the row of books and finally stopped at the book "Gone with the Wind".

"Don't you know what Gao Ning is thinking? Since she can't get Nanzhou, she wants to marry me. It's a pity that I don't have any interest in her. And don't worry, Nanzhou has already said that she will send Gao Ning and Gao Chengshan away immediately and let them never appear in front of you again.

"Jiu'er, you and Nanzhou should be good to each other. Don't let Gao Ning hurt your relationship again. She doesn't deserve it."

Lu Xi disagreed. The problem between her and Fu Nanzhou was not because of Gao Ning, but because of Fu Nanzhou's attitude when facing Gao Ning's entanglement.

"By the way, brother, why did you go with Hao Mengjie today..."

Shen Mo froze, took the copy of Gone with the Wind and sat on the sofa next to her, smiling awkwardly, "Did you see everything?"

"Yeah." Lu Xi stared at him without blinking, "You and her..."

"Since you've seen it all, I have nothing to hide. She... is the person I'm looking for."

Lu Xi opened her mouth, somewhat incredulously, "Is that the owner of the sachet?"

"Yeah. The girl I have kept in my heart for many years." Shen Mo was ambiguous.

He didn't want to deceive his sister, but now that Hao Mengjie had integrated into their lives in this identity, it seemed to be the best compromise.

Lu Xi blinked and suddenly smiled somewhat ambiguously, "So this is the person you like? But don't you feel awkward? Because she looks like me."

Shen Mo smiled helplessly, "Yes, so I plan to recognize her as my sister."

"I know!" Lu Xi suddenly raised her voice and said excitedly, "Brother, do you want her to pretend to be my sister? That way, Mom won't be in such a hurry for you to find my sister."

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, just let you know."

"okay, I get it."

Having resolved the doubts in his mind, Lu Xi felt much more relaxed and left the study room happily.

As soon as she left, Shen Mo let out a long sigh of relief, but he did not feel any relief. Instead, his chest felt even more stuffy, as if it was blocked by a ball of cotton that was not heavy but made him unable to breathe.

I once vowed to find my sister and spoil her well, but now I have to lie because of my other sister. What is the difference between this and betrayal?

But Shen Pingting is his biological sister after all, a thorn in her mother's heart. He is caught in the middle and is really in a difficult situation.

Before Shen Mo could sort out his thoughts, Shen Congrong also pushed the door open and said in a low voice with a happy face: "Son! I found Puff! I found your sister! We can be reunited as a family!"
