marriage [big family]

Calling the police, taking notes, answering the police's questions non-stop, and telling a complete story of what they heard before, the two exhausted until midnight were able to go home.

Yao Jinxi fell on the sofa and raised his arm to cover his eyes, almost falling asleep. Lu Ming knew that he was in a bad mood, so he stood aside for a while, took his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When Yao Jinxi came out, he was still lying motionless on the sofa in the same posture as before. Lu Ming stepped forward, squatted down beside him, pulled his hand covering his eyes, and stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, whispering Remind him: "Go take a shower and sleep."

Yao Jinxi turned her head, glanced at him, hooked his neck and kissed him.

When Yao Jinxi also came out of the shower, Lu Ming glanced at the time on the watch on the bedside table. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. He patted the place beside him, motioned for Yao Jinxi to sit over, and turned on the hair dryer to dry his wet hair.

Yao Jinxi lay down and pillowed on his lap, narrowed her eyes slightly and let him dry her hair. Lu Ming looked down at him and asked softly, "Still thinking about that?"

Yao Jinxi slowly opened his eyes and looked at him: "Probably because of that video, when I close my eyes, I will think of that scene. Sometimes I think, if grandpa didn't help me cover things up, let me do it myself." Bear, will I feel better now?"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Ming interrupted him: "Your grandfather is doing it for your own good. Do you really want to go to jail?"

"If going to jail would give me peace of mind, I'd rather go to..."

"Don't say such things," Lu Ming interrupted him again: "I don't agree."

Yao Jinxi turned sideways and hugged Lu Ming's waist with both hands, put his face against his lower abdomen, and murmured: "Thank you, really, if I didn't calm down when I heard the piano music you played, I almost , I cut the shattered glass towards my wrist."

Lu Ming felt uncomfortable hearing that, hugged him tightly, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's all over, don't think about it..."

Even though Yao Jinxi only mentioned the past in a few words, as long as Lu Ming thought of the feeling of being on the verge of darkness and degeneration, of being forced to quit drug addiction, and feeling that he could not survive or die, he would be heartbroken, but he was extremely grateful. At that time, he just hugged He chose that song in the competition with a playful attitude, but somehow saved the one he loves.

The next day was Sunday. Because he slept late, it was past nine o'clock when he woke up. Lu Ming glanced at Yao Jinxi, who was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and got up and got out of bed without disturbing him.

After washing up, he turned on the TV in the living room. It happened to be a local news station. The news broadcast was that the police received a report and investigated overnight. A buried body was found in the forest in the western suburbs. The identity is yet to be confirmed. The person was initially identified and is under further investigation.

The picture on the TV was the scene of a rotten corpse being dug out. Although it was mosaiced, Lu Ming still felt a little nauseated watching it, and felt a little indescribably complicated. Lu Xun really died just like that. Grandpa didn't know what he would think when he found out.

When the sleepy-eyed Yao Jinxi pushed open the door and came out, the TV news was broadcasting the scene of Qi Rui being taken away by the police. His face was also mosaiced, his head was drooping and he was completely lethargic.Yao Jinxi poured a glass of water, sat next to Lu Ming, took a sip and put down the glass: "He has completely ruined himself."

"It's up to you." Lu Ming couldn't feel any sympathy for Qi Rui now.

Yao Jinxi asked him, "How are you going to tell your great-grandpa about this?"

"I've told the people over there not to tell him. Someone from New York will come over to deal with Lu Xun's affairs, but it probably won't be long." Lu Ming shook his head: "Let's talk about it."

Yao Jinxi didn't ask any more questions, and Lu Ming didn't want to talk about it anymore. He took the remote control and changed the channel, and raised his chin at Yao Jinxi: "Let's have a business at home today. Didn't you go to the supermarket to do some shopping yesterday?"

Speaking of this, Yao Jinxi froze for a moment, showing embarrassment: "...the things I bought yesterday are still in the trunk of the car."

Lu Ming smiled helplessly: "I'll go down and get it, you watch TV first."

Fortunately, it was winter, and the things I bought were not damaged after being placed in the trunk of the car all night. After a general inspection, Lu Ming picked up the bags and went into the elevator.The parking lot is on the basement floor. Lu Ming pressed the floor they were on, but the elevator stopped on the first floor, and the door opened. To his surprise, the person standing outside turned out to be Qin Sitong.

Seeing Qin Sitong here suddenly, Lu Ming was a little surprised. Because of the previous incident, the two of them had a tense fight. Of course, it was Qin Sitong who was throwing his temper unilaterally. Lu Ming didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to the door, although I already have a guess in my heart, and nine out of ten it has something to do with Qi Rui's matter.

Yao Jinxi was also a little surprised to see Qin Sitong appearing behind Lu Ming. He was not familiar with Qin Sitong, so he just nodded his head as a greeting, and took his things into the kitchen to tidy up.

Lu Ming asked Qin Sitong to sit in the living room and poured her a glass of water. Qin Sitong held the glass with both hands and lowered his head. It took him a long time to speak: "I already know about Qi Rui...he killed someone, and what happened to him before? The ones that are done in the company..."

Lu Ming sighed lightly: "You divorced him, so leave him alone."

"The reason why he divorced me before was also false. He was caught by someone to deal with you, right?"

"Sitong, he's not a good guy, so you should treat him as blind. Now that you're all divorced, don't bother with his affairs anymore, and find someone who can really love you in the future."

Lu Ming tried to persuade her, Qin Sitong's eyes turned red, and he looked up at Lu Ming: "Does he still have a chance to live?"

"Intentionally killing someone and burying the body...should be punished by death."

Hearing that Qin Sitong bit her lip hard, and hesitated to speak, Yao Jinxi came out with a plate of cut fruits, put it on the coffee table in front of her, sat down beside Lu Ming, glanced at Lu Ming, and then moved her gaze to Qin Sitong. After looking at her worried face for a moment, she asked, "You came to Lu Ming today to help Qi Rui?"

"...Yes... is it possible..."

"Can Lu Ming tell the Lu family that Qi Rui should be let go because of his friendship with the Qin family? As long as the Lu family doesn't pursue the matter, with the Qin family's ability and connections, even if Qi Rui committed murder , can at least save him from the death penalty, you think so?"

Qin Sitong, who was completely hit by Yao Jinxi's words, lowered his head even lower. Lu Ming frowned when he heard that, and Yao Jinxi said, "He doesn't like you at all, and he just wants to use you to climb up. You still help him like this." ?”

"I... I don't know... I don't want him to die..." Qin Sitong choked up as he spoke, "We should be a husband and wife... I can't bear to see him being shot like this..."

"Don't be silly, he's not a good guy, even if you try your best to save him, he won't be grateful to you, you're only in your twenties, and you'll have a long life ahead, don't tie yourself to death in a On a scumbag, he's not worth it for you."

To unfamiliar people, Yao Jinxi seldom said so many words, and he still used such an impolite tone. Qin Sitong was a little stunned by what he said, and even swallowed the words that Lu Ming originally wanted to speak. After that, it was Yao Jinxi who was talking all the time, and Qin Sitong occasionally said a few words, but Yao Jinxi choked them all back.

After sending people away and closing the door, Lu Ming, who almost didn't speak much afterwards, asked Yao Jinxi curiously: "How did you guess that she came here to intercede for Qi Rui?"

"Then what else could it be?"

"...Don't you generally ignore other people's affairs?"

"Isn't that your cousin?" Yao Jinxi said with a wry smile: "I just thought of Xiaohui when I saw her. They are all too well protected by the family, and they are too naive to be deceived. Let alone them , Even when I was young and frivolous, I almost destroyed myself, and it is always good to have someone to help me when I go wrong."

Lu Ming didn't know what to say for a while, he was silent for a moment and patted his shoulder: "Forget it, don't think about it, Xiao Hui has calmed down too, thanks to your brother."

Since Xiaohui committed suicide and was transferred to another hospital, Yao Jinxi has visited her several times, and she has indeed come out gradually, and she has become a lot more peaceful. Now she only thinks about going abroad to study after her health recovers, which can be regarded as the end of the cloud.

Yao Jinxi stopped talking and pushed Lu Ming: "Go and cook."

Lu Ming smiled with relief: "Of course, my wife."

"Don't yell," Yao Jinxi also smiled: "Don't be so glib."

Lu Ming hugged him with a smile and kissed him hard on the face, then he was in a good mood and turned to go into the kitchen humming a song.

In the end, the news of Lu Xun's murder was not hidden from Mr. Lu. It is said that after hearing about it, he fainted and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Lu Ming could only put down his work and hurried to New York.

On the second day after Lu Ming left, Yao Jinxi received a call from London. It was the inheritance lawyer who told him that the inheritance procedures were basically completed, and asked him if he wanted to go there to hand over the handover in person. Yao Jinxi thought that he had a lot of free time anyway. So he agreed, and called Lu Ming to let him know, and that night, he boarded a plane to England.
