After I was murdered, my scumbag uncle went completely crazy

Lu Mian looked at me strangely.

"Why are you explaining this to me? I don't care about Gu Hanting's personal schedule."

My expression froze. "I thought you came to ask me because Qin Feng didn't see him yesterday."

"I don't care about Qin Feng's affairs." Lu Mian curled his lips.

Then he looked at me strangely, "But... why do you look so guilty?"

"How could I feel guilty?" My voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

Lu Mian blinked. "If you don't feel guilty, then you don't feel guilty. Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Are you trying to cover up your guilt?!"

"Who is trying to hide the truth? I just don't like being misunderstood," I argued.

Lu Mian looked at me and waved his hand, "Forget it, whatever you want."

She said it was casual, but her expression showed she didn't believe it, and her eyes were full of inquiry when she looked at me.

It was as if he wanted to see through me and see the secrets in my heart.

Feeling a little guilty, I pinched the fingers hanging by my side, but I didn't muster up the courage to look her in the face, so I looked away.

"So...why did you come to see me today?"

I glanced at the door to the ward, "Besides, how did you know I was in the hospital?"

Lu Mian sneered, "Gu Hanting was so sick yesterday. If you care about him so much, where else could you be if not in the hospital?"

"Besides, can't I just come to visit a patient?"

"Gu Hanting saved both of us yesterday. Do you think I'm so ungrateful?!"

"That's not what I meant." I felt a little ashamed by her two words.

She always says that Mianmian suspects me, but actually... I seem to be wary of her as well.

"Whatever you mean," Lu Mian didn't mind. "Since Gu Hanting is fine, I'll leave."

"and many more……"

She turned to leave, and I quickly called her.

Lu Mian looked back at me, "Anything else?"

I nodded. "Um... can you tell Qin Feng that Gu Hanting... may not be able to cooperate with his investigation in the near future."

"But... he didn't do it on purpose. It was Grandpa Mu..."

"Chi Xi, who are you to me?!" Lu Mian suddenly interrupted me and asked.

I was stunned and met her mocking eyes.

"Why, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Lu Mian walked towards me, exuding a cold aura.

"Qin Feng is the captain of the criminal investigation team. Not to mention that I haven't passed the forensic examination yet, even if I did, what qualifications do you think I have to manage the affairs of other criminal investigation teams?"

I suddenly understood that she had misunderstood what I meant just now.

"It's not Mianmian, please listen to my explanation, I just..."

"That's enough!" Lu Mian interrupted me again, "I don't care what you mean. Anyway... I won't get involved in what's going on between you, Gu Hanting, and Qin Feng."

I opened my mouth but said nothing.

Seeing that I had nothing to say, Lu Mian turned around and left without looking back.

I sighed and stood in the ward for a long time. Finally, I packed up and prepared to go back.

Gu Hanting is not here anyway.

The bodyguard sent me home, and originally planned to take me back to Gu Mansion.

But I insisted on going back to the apartment, and the bodyguard had no choice but to send me back.

What I didn’t expect was that when I got back, I found the entrance of the apartment was full of people.

I don't know much about the Chi family, but I have heard that after Chi's father's company was established, the Chi family coaxed and flattered it and placed many people from the Chi family in the company.

Unexpectedly, the Chi family's relatives gradually became more powerful and even did many things that were detrimental to the company behind the scenes.

By the time Chi's father found out and wanted to stop it, it was too late.

I glanced at the group of people gathered at the door of the apartment. I had some impression of the leader among them. He was the third master of the Chi family.

He is a cousin of Mr. Chi and came to visit on his father’s birthday last time.

But I heard that the incident was very unpleasant. I don’t know what it means for him to suddenly bring people to find me!

When the bodyguard saw the group of people at the door, he stepped forward and blocked me behind him.

"Miss Chi, please leave first. I will take care of these people."

It was obvious from the look of it that that group of people had bad intentions, they looked at me like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of meat.

The bodyguards were afraid they would hurt me.

"No need, I'll do it." I walked out from behind the bodyguard.

Master Chi San looked at me walking towards her and snorted, "You still know how to come back!"

I know that Mr. Chi San has always looked down on me.

In fact, no one in the Chi family thinks highly of me.

Before my identity as the fake daughter of the Chi family was exposed, they thought that I was a girl and had no right to inherit the Chi family's business.

Later, my identity as the fake daughter of the Chi family was exposed, and they looked down on me even more.

Someone who is not even a member of the Chi family has no right to touch the Chi family's property.

This is also the reason why I still don’t have a job.

"Uncle San, you came to see me. Is there anything you want?" I maintained the minimum courtesy towards an older elder.

Mr. Chi San didn't say anything, but a young man next to him with dyed green hair, who didn't look like a serious man at first glance, spoke.

"Chi Xi, have you forgotten all the etiquette that the Chi family taught you since you were a child?!"

He glanced sarcastically at the corridor, "We are all your elders, and you are going to talk to the elders here?!"

"Although my last name is Chi, I don't have Chi family blood in my body. I will repay the Chi family for raising me for more than ten years in my own way."

I looked at him, neither humble nor arrogant, "As for your so-called elders, if they look like elders, I will naturally be respectful."

"But if not... does it matter where we talk?"

If it was the previous Chi Xi, he might have followed his words, opened the door and invited them in.

But I am not, I am Qiao Xi. It was because I was too weak and did not know how to resist that I ended up with a tragic death.

Mr. Chi San was offended by me and looked very unhappy.

He narrowed his eyes and said, “Chi Xi, it seems that what Chi Feng said is right. You really rely on your relationship with Gu Hanting and now you don’t take anyone seriously.”

Chi Feng is Chi Xi's adoptive father and the current head of the Chi family.

I don't know what happened between him and Mr. Chi that made him come to me.

But I'm not interested in the Chi family's mess.

"Uncle San, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Mr. Chi San said sternly, "I'm here because I want you to talk to Xiao Gu about a cooperation."

"I have already drafted the contract, just ask him to sign it."

"The project must be a good one. You are half a member of the Chi family. He is half the son-in-law of our Chi family. I can't cheat my own people."

As he said this, he gave a look to the people around him.

The person next to him immediately handed over a contract.

Mr. Chi San slapped the contract into my arms and then let go.

I didn't take it, and the contract slipped from my arms and fell to the ground.

Master Chi San's face changed, "Chi Xi, what do you mean?!"
