Lucy thought about the encounter with Qiao Yixia and knew each other, and suddenly felt that it was completely fate. The two of them were able to come together, not by chance, but by fate. They are like birds in a cage, bound by the painful past of their youth, with a glamorous appearance, but they are the only ones who can hardly let go of their defenses, and spend time in self-torture all day long.

This case is like a Gu, and Qiao Yixia is the person who has been poisoned, if the case is not solved, her illness will not be better, but if the case is solved, her illness will be aggravated, and even, terminally ill.

So, Lucy secretly made a decision in his heart, a decision that was not so fair to both the dead and the law.

But this ridiculous and hypocritical decision can make Qiao Yixia no longer suffer from it.

After the evening, Lu Qiao and Bai Ying accompanied Shang Lu and Bai Ying to see the sea view, visit the night market, and the snack street was filled with the smell of sizzling squid, boiled squid, scorched rings and all kinds of skewers, and Bai Ying drooled greedily. Holding a lamb skewer in one hand and sizzling tofu in the other, Shang Lu beside her also helped her hold her favorite grilled chicken wings.

"Professor Lu, Sister Yi Xia, don't you eat it? It's really delicious! ”

Lucy shook her head, she was really not interested in these top ten night market snacks on the junk food list, plus she caught a cold when she went to the crime site with Zhang Ze a few days ago, and her asthma showed signs of recurrence, so she was not suitable for eating these things.

It would have been a pleasant ride, if Luci hadn't ended up on the ground. Shang Lu and Bai Ying were frightened, not to mention Qiao Yixia. The husband and wife blamed themselves very much, and they were so annoyed that they shouldn't be so playful that they called Professor Lu out to suffer together, and on the way to send Lu Xifei to the hospital, Qiao Yixia didn't say anything all the way, she knew that she was not in good health, but no matter how bad she was, she shouldn't faint suddenly, she was obviously not feeling well, but why didn't she say it, she was worried about her, she was very distressed.

It wasn't until the doctor diagnosed that several people's hanging hearts slowly let go, and the doctor said that Lu Xifei's body was fine, but he was sick from overwork and needed more rest.

How could she not be tired?

Since receiving the email, as long as she is awake, she has not been worried about Qiao Yixia's case for a moment, and even at night there is rarely a time when she really falls asleep, let alone a frail and sickly woman, even Superman needs to rest.

"What's wrong with me?" She woke up, with her eyes wide open, and asked suspiciously.

Qiao Yixia looked at her innocent appearance, angry and anxious, and wanted to blame, but she couldn't say a word of blame, just sat on the edge of the bed and frowned.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Xifei said again: "Could it be, is it an incurable disease?" ”

"Phew!" Qiao Yixia banged on the bedside table and said angrily, "You're just looking forward to leaving me?" ”

Originally, I wanted to joke with her, but it can be seen that she reacted so violently, and Lucy realized that she was really angry, but unfortunately her body really didn't have much strength, she relied on her elbows to support her upper body, although Qiao Yixia had a hard mouth, she still helped her erect the quilt, afraid that she would sit uncomfortably. Lucy touched her face and said softly, "How come?" ”

"The doctor said you were too tired from work and needed a good rest." Qiao Yixia looked at her and found that she was not only pale, but also had a layer of heavy dark circles under her eyes, "Have you been busy writing something recently?" Or is it for Xiaohui's case......"

"Nope." Luci shook her head without thinking about it, "Fool, which case is not easy for me to solve?" I'm so smart, how can I be so tired of this. It's just that I haven't been sleeping well lately, so don't think about it. ”

"Cangcang, you promise me that you must put your own physical health first. Whether it's a case or anything else, it's not as important as your body, even if it's Xiaohui's case, I won't force you to help me anymore, as long as there is a feeling of powerlessness, don't investigate it anymore. The case, I can put it down, but you, I can't lose. ”

Luci smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

"I don't know."

"Come here? Where do you want me to go? "The two of them are not too close at the moment, where do she want her to go?

"Come here, give me a kiss."

Lucy couldn't help but laugh, but without saying a word, she leaned forward and pressed her delicate thin lips, her eyelashes touched, and colorful sparks collided. The intimacy of the kiss is superficial. Qiao Yixia said with a little dissatisfaction: "Only this? ”

"Or else? What else do you want? Luci hugged her gently, "What do you want, let's go home and talk about it, so as not to let the nurse see it." ”

Qiao Yixia heard her say this, and simply kissed her again, this time it was no longer a simple lip flap, but directly pried open her teeth, and entwined her little tongue with her. In fact, Lu Xifei is the Gu poison in her, which makes her fall and become addicted again and again. She kissed her long eyelashes instead, and whispered, "Just to let her see." Let the whole world know that you are mine, so that you will not dare to think about leaving me again. ”

"It's no use letting them know." Luci smiled faintly, "I am not afraid of anyone in this world. Except for you. ”

Qiao Yixia was amused by her: "Are you afraid of me?" I don't see it. ”

"I'm afraid you're not happy."

Qiao Yixia hugged her tightly when she heard this, and dropped a kiss in her ear: "As long as you are here, I will not be unhappy." ”

In the past few days, with Qiao Yixia taking care of her, Lu Xi's complexion has gradually improved, and she has eaten more than before. She really did what she promised Qiao Yixia, completely emptied herself, and didn't think about anything but to take care of her body. After experiencing this incident, in fact, she herself was also very afraid, she never thought that her body would be like this, it was not unheard of before she worked all night, and she had never fainted suddenly.

So she was afraid, afraid that if she really said a prophecy, she would completely collapse her body.

She knew that she had really fallen, and she had fallen into a strong love for Qiao Yixia. In the past, she always felt that death was a relief, but now she is afraid, and she wants to live well. She didn't dare to imagine how sad Qiao Yixia would be if she left this world first, and she couldn't imagine that if she was gone, she would be bullied in the future, who would be angry for her. She's such a silly girl, she can't live without herself.

The weather was particularly fine on this day, cloudless, and even the dead trees seemed to be coated with a beautiful golden powder under the sun's rays when looking through the polished windows.

She didn't think that Qiao Yihai would come, at least not before.

He was dressed in a formal suit, with gold-rimmed eyes, and a natural imperial aura, she made him a cup of Pu'er tea, stood by the coffee table, and did not sit down.

"Xiyu, sit down and talk."

Lucy bowed slightly, and then sat down.

Qiao Yihai suddenly laughed: "Why does my guest look like the host, but you, the host, are restrained." ”

Lu Xifei was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, because the person in front of her was Qiao Yixia's father, so she didn't know what to do, she couldn't treat Qiao Yixia's relatives like she treated outsiders. Lu Xifei, who never cared what others thought of her, wanted to leave a good impression on the person opposite for the first time.

"Xifei, this time I came to ask for something."

"Uncle, if you have something to say, you don't have to be polite to me."

"Recently, there was a case, I don't know if you have heard of it...... The daughter of the CEO of Maoyuan Company is missing. ”

Lucy nodded, she had heard of this case. Maoyuan Electronics is one of the top three electronics companies in China, the boss Jia Fu is even more wealthy, more than Qiao Yihai, he has no grandson, only a spoiled lawless granddaughter, it is rumored that this little girl is smart and clever, but arrogant and domineering, but because of her strong family background and good looks, she was rated as the most charming rich second generation by a magazine tenth.

Qiao Yihai sighed: "I have always been good friends with Jia Fu, and now that something like this has happened in his family, I don't feel good in my heart." ”

"Uncle, I understand what you mean."

Qiao Yihai smiled, thinking that it was really a smart woman: "Xifei, I don't know, are you free, would you like to ......?"

"I'll help."

Qiao Yihai is overjoyed,You know,Qiao's is preparing to develop a residential area in the eastern suburbs recently,Maoyuan Electronics recently launched a new type of LCD TV,There is a super experience function of projecting 3D movies,Qiao's will cooperate with Maoyuan,Launch a promotional event。 In residential areas, you will be able to get a 50% discount on this LCD TV and a premium membership card, and Qiao's will also give Maoyuan a certain amount of feedback after each house sold, which is harmless for both companies. Maoyuan's status in the international arena is obviously stronger than Qiao's, it can be said that Qiao's sale of houses this time has the meaning of using Maoyuan as a gimmick, of course, Qiao Yihai can't let go of this opportunity, so if he does Jia Fu a favor at this moment, Jia Fu will not treat him badly.

"Ah, Xifei, then I'll thank you in advance."

"Uncle, I told you, you don't have to be polite to me."

Qiao Yihai drank the cup of tea: "Having a friend like you is a blessing for Yi Xia." ”

"There are friends like Yi Xia...... It's also a blessing to me. In front of the old man, she can only use such words to locate the relationship between them.

Qiao Yihai got up and nodded: "Then, Xifei, there are still things to deal with in the company, and you are also busy, so I won't bother you." ”

Luci also got up to see him off.

Lu Xifei had to admire Yu Qiao Yihai's unique scheming. As tricky as the case sounds, it's not hard to know that the police are in a difficult situation when solving the case, and it is highly likely that she will be invited to help solve the case. Although she was also caught in a lawsuit a while ago, it seems that she is no longer suitable to assist in solving the case, but theoretically speaking, the high achievement of Lu Xifei is not something that can be diluted by such a fake drug case, and moreover, Lu Xifei, as a psychology expert, only plays an assisting role, and cannot dominate the overall trend. Therefore, even if the police ignore her deposit, as long as Qiao Yihai reminds them, they will come to her door, and Qiao Yihai has no need to come to the door by himself. The reason why he did this was nothing more than to make a "contribution" in front of Jia Fu, and businessmen pay the most attention to reciprocity, and it is impossible for Jia Fu not to thank him for this.

And Lu Xifei is just a tool to realize Qiao Yihai's interests.

But even so, she won't refuse. Just because he is Qiao Yixia's father.

She walked into the study, sat down in front of the computer, and typed down such an email.
