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

At noon, Lu Xi made a special trip to Shen Group.

"Second Miss, are you looking for Mr. Shen?" A girl with long hair immediately stepped forward respectfully when she saw her, putting her hands in front of her, with a smile on her face, as if she was receiving a distinguished guest.

Lu Xi smiled politely, "Yes, is my dad up there?"

"Mr. Shen is here. Please take the president's exclusive elevator." The receptionist led the way and bowed slightly when she saw Lu Xi get on the elevator.

Lu Xi was a little embarrassed, "Thank you, Miss."

The elevator doors closed and the receptionist returned to the lobby.

Another short-haired girl couldn't help but tease, "Look at how attentive you were just now, what's the matter? Do you want to ask someone for something?"

The long-haired girl curled her lips and said, "I am just a small clerk. How can I ask for help from a rich lady?"

The short-haired girl said with a sigh, "This is what we call a true life of cheating. This is probably what a comeback is, right? From a country girl to a rich lady, this is not the fate of ordinary people. Didn't you see that she has changed completely since she became successful? Although she still has that delicate and beautiful face and still looks young, her aura is different. She has the noble air of a rich lady. I wish I had rich parents too."

The long-haired girl laughed, "Don't be jealous, the reason why the ugly duckling can become a white swan is not because of his own efforts, but because his father and mother were originally white swans. It was destined at birth. The second young lady is destined to have it, we can't envy it."

Lu Xi went to the top floor, and a secretary personally took her to the president's office.

Shen Congrong was reviewing documents. When he saw his precious daughter coming in, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. His face was immediately filled with smiles. "How come our little President Lu has time to come to see daddy today?"

Lu Xi took off his hat and asked straight to the point: "Dad, I have something to ask you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Shen Congrong smiled and quickly asked his secretary to get the snacks that girls like.

Lu Xi quickly said, "Dad, no need. I came here just to ask, are you sure you saw Tan Jing die in the fire?"

Shen Congrong's smile suddenly disappeared, his brows slightly frowned, he put down the pen in his hand, and asked seriously: "You suddenly remembered to ask this?"

"Don't worry about why I'm asking this suddenly. Just tell me, are you 100% sure?" Lu Xi was very determined. She had no intention of backing down and was as stubborn as before.

Shen Congrong did not answer immediately. His thoughts were drawn back to that day. The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind, as if it happened yesterday.

After a long while, he finally spoke solemnly, "That night, the fire was so big that your mother and I couldn't get in.

"At that time, Tan Jing was standing on the second floor, her whole body was engulfed in flames, and she looked at us fiercely. In the flames, we couldn't see her expression clearly, but we could feel that her expression was very ferocious.

"Tan Jing was determined to die, and she had doused the villa with gasoline in advance. The fire started in an instant and it was impossible to control it. In addition, the location of the villa was quite remote, halfway up the mountain. Not to mention that the fire truck was too late, even if it arrived in time, it would not be able to save the people.

"At that time I wanted to rush into the fire, but the door was locked and the fire was so big, so we could only watch her being engulfed in the fire from outside.

"Then your mother's water broke, and we rushed to the hospital. Before we even got there, she was already burned to a charred corpse, so you can imagine how dangerous it was."

Lu Xi listened quietly, sketching out the scene at that time in her mind. Even just listening to her father's description, she felt her scalp tingling and her hair standing on end!

How desperate must one be to allow oneself to die in a fire? !

The air seemed to be frozen.

After a long silence, Lu Xi raised her eyes and looked at her father, "Are you sure that the body is Tan Jing?"

Shen Congrong was very sure, "Of course it was. There was no one else in the villa at that time."

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Jiu'er, why do you suddenly ask about Tan Jing?"

Lu Xi looked at him, hesitated again and again, and still did not tell her father about it.

It's all just speculation right now, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"No, I'm just thinking about it. Dad, I'm leaving."

Lu Xi didn't say much and went downstairs immediately.

"What's the matter? What did your dad say?" Zhuang Yi was a little impatient. She came here with Lu Xi, but didn't go upstairs.

Lu Xi frowned, "My dad said he must be dead."

Zhuang Yi tilted her head, her expression very serious, "Your suspicion is reasonable, but you can't be too stubborn. If Guan Ruolin is really Tan Jing, then how come she has no connection with Sister Junjun? She is her biological daughter!"

Lu Xi thought about it and agreed. "You're right. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. By the way, you'd better get another check-up. If there's really something wrong with Guan Ruolin, there's no guarantee that she didn't do anything to you. We should be more careful."

Zhuang Yi lowered her head and stroked her bulging belly with her palms covering it. She could feel the presence of the child, which was a subtle feeling.

"I'm afraid Jiang Yizhou will find out. Anyway, the New Year is coming soon, so I'll check it out after the New Year when I go abroad."

Lu Xi pursed her lips and asked, "How many days will the cooling-off period last for both of you?"

"A week. This is so annoying. Why does there exist such a thing as a cool-off period for divorce?"

Zhuang Yi was obviously a little irritated. "And you know what? I was getting anxious waiting. Yesterday Jiang Yizhou even asked me if the child was there. I was so scared that I almost fainted."

Lu Xi nodded, "I can imagine how you feel, but you can't hide it anymore. Let's go."

After Lu Xi left, Shen Congrong was full of questions and called his son Shen Mo to the company.

"Your sister asked about Tan Jing today. Did she reveal anything to you?"

Shen Mo looked puzzled, "I don't know, she didn't say anything, but why would Jiuer ask about Tan Jing?"

"I don't know. She asked me about the details of the fire today. She's a smart kid, not a gossiper. I always feel like she's looking for something."

Shen Mo knew everything, but he didn't say much and stood firmly on the same side as his sister.

Shen Congrong did not ask any more questions, but instead recalled the fire that day and Tan Jing's shrill curse.

"Wei Yutong, I hate you! I curse you to hell! I curse you and your child to die a miserable death!"

"Wei Yutong, how could you do this to me?!"

The shrill and piercing screams were almost blood-curdling and have always been his wife's nightmare. But until today, he still doesn't understand what his wife had done to make Tan Jing hate him so much!

That afternoon, Lu Xi left work early.

The winter vacation has begun, but the kindergarten-primary school transition institutions have not suspended classes yet.

She went to pick up Guoguo, but bumped into Fu Xizhou at the door.

"Hey." Fu Xizhou greeted her first, and then handed her the things in his hand, "I bought them especially for you, sugar-roasted chestnuts, I've peeled them."

Lu Xi frowned and looked at him, but did not reach out to take it. "No, take it back and eat it yourself."

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" Fu Xizhou raised his eyebrows, and then said meaningfully, "You heartless little thing, others can poison you, but I will only solve the problem for you. I can't bear to eat you to death."

If it weren't for him, the baby in her belly would have been gone by now.

Lu Xi just felt that this man was dangerous. Although Fu Xizhou said that she was stolen by Meng Debiao when she was two years old and it was Fu Xizhou who saved him, Meng Debiao was dead now and there was no evidence, so she couldn't believe his one-sided words.

Now Lu Xi feels unsafe around everyone and finally understands the meaning behind the sarcastic remark “There are always villains who want to harm me”.

"Don't you care about my health?" Fu Xizhou's tone sounded a little resentful. He didn't sound like he was joking, but really wanted to be cared for.

Lu Xi said, "Don't eat anything with sesame in it anymore. Severe allergies can be fatal. You scared me to death that day. If something happens to you, won't your dad and grandpa be mad?"

Fu Xizhou sneered, "Will my grandfather be anxious? Don't worry, he will always only have the third brother in his eyes. To him, I am just a bastard."

The mocking tone expressed strong dissatisfaction, but the word "bastard" suddenly irritated Lu Xi's nerves.
