Chapter 69 -69: Stop Picking
Even though there was a distance between Foolish Hu and Lu Zhenjia, Zhou Shuyan managed to record their voices clearly when filming the video.
The police played the video on the scene, and upon hearing Lu Zhenjia only giving his name and identity and then hearing him instigating Foolish Hu, their expressions immediately changed, and they looked at Lu Zhenjia sternly.
The police never showed a good face to such scum.
At that moment, Lu Youxi said, “I am the Lu Youxi he mentioned, the one he was inciting Brother Xiao Hu to prepare…”
Lu Youxi paused and added, “The person being plotted against. He is my husband, Xu Mai, we just got our marriage certificate not long ago.”
The police nodded. Foolish Hu didn’t wait for them to ask; instead, he said, “Xu Mai and Lu Youxi approached me earlier. They weren’t sure if Lu Zhenjia would come to me, but they followed Lu Zhenjia to see how exactly he planned to plot against Lu Youxi. If Lu Zhenjia came to me, they hoped I would help them.”
“You did very well!” The police gave Foolish Hu a thumbs up, “You weren’t instigated by the bad people and even helped to catch them. Xiao Hu, your actions were very righteous and admirable! When I go back to the station, I’ll apply to award you a banner.”
Foolish Hu, feeling embarrassed by the police’s praise, blushed rarely and kept scratching the back of his head.
“We’ll need you to come to the station with us and explain the details of the incident,” the police said.
“Of course,” Zhou Shuyan nodded.
“Lu Youxi, you can’t do this, I am your uncle!” Lu Zhenjia panicked, “Officer, it’s all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I was just joking!”
At that moment, Foolish Hu took out a USB drive that Lu Zhenjia had given him and handed it to the police, “This is what he gave me, told me to go home and watch it to learn. I don’t know what’s inside.”
The police, having already guessed what it was from the conversation in the video, took it and said displeasedly to Lu Zhenjia, “And you still have the face to say it was a joke?”
“I just wanted him to learn some knowledge about this matter; kids have to get married eventually. Can’t get married and know nothing, right! Officer, I’m really wronged!” Lu Zhenjia wailed with a somber face, “Lu Youxi, you heartless person, I’m your uncle, how could you do this to me!”
Lu Youxi now found even one more look at Lu Zhenjia disgusting and told the police, “Officer, I don’t have any intention of harming my uncle like this. He’s not my uncle, he’s a devil, out to ruin my whole life. Anyway, I won’t plead for him, let the law decide how to deal with him.”
“Lu Youxi, you curse-worthy, utterly heartless woman, even plotting against your own uncle!” Lu Zhenjia cursed foully, “You have no regard for family ties, you are a calamity, deserving to be unloved at home. Just wait! You’ll end up alone and forsaken without a single family member to your name, you wretched creature, spit!”

“Watch your mouth!” the police shouted angrily, “Let’s go!”
The police handcuffed Lu Zhenjia and pushed him into the vehicle.
Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi, and Foolish Hu also went to the police station together.
During the ride, Lu Youxi was still so agitated that she couldn’t calm down.
Zhou Shuyan, noticing that Lu Youxi was acting a bit off, said, “Lu Zhenjia has been arrested; we will head to the Imperial Capital in a few days. None of them will have the chance to harm you anymore.”
Lu Youxi took a deep breath and said, “I always thought Lu Zhenjia was just selfish, taking my dad for a fool, and liked to take advantage of our family. He was a bit manipulative and cunning, but I never expected him to lose his humanity. To stop me from attending university, he even stooped to using such disgusting methods to harm people!”
“Moreover, my going to university wouldn’t cost him a dime. Even if it did, it would be our family’s money; clearly, he sees my family’s money as his own,” Lu Youxi said as her thumb unconsciously picked at the edge of her index nail, “Just for a little profit, he wanted to harm me like this!”
Lu Youxi scoffed, “And he still has the nerve to call himself my uncle!”
Zhou Shuyan could not help but reach out to hold her hand to comfort her.
He saw Lu Youxi trembling with anger.
But he caught sight of her thumb unconsciously picking at the edge of her middle nail.
The nail edges had been picked red, and there was a tendency for the skin to break and bleed.
Zhou Shuyan promptly took her hand, “Stop picking.”
Lu Youxi paused for a moment, only then noticing that she had started picking at her fingers again.
This was actually a habit she had formed in her previous life just after she married into the Lin Family.
Back then, everyone in the Lin Family looked down on her, putting a lot of pressure on her both publicly and privately.
Unconsciously, she had formed a habit of picking at her nails whenever she felt stressed.
Later, having entered Lin’s and climbed the ranks through her abilities, she faced even greater pressures but gradually the Lin Family people couldn’t pressure her anymore.
She had overcome the habit.
Yet, it had reappeared now.
Zhou Shuyan held her hand, and his index finger covered her middle nail, “If you keep picking, it will break.”
Lu Youxi stayed silent for a while before Zhou Shuyan added, “If you really want to pick, pick at mine.”
Lu Youxi: “…”
“This isn’t a good habit, I need to overcome it,” Lu Youxi responded, “I will control myself.”
Zhou Shuyan nodded, “That’s best.”
Lu Youxi’s hands were completely enveloped in his, his palm heating her hand, distracting Lu Youxi from her anger toward Lu Zhenjia, as her gaze involuntarily fell on their intertwined hands.
“I’ll stop picking; you can let go now,” Lu Youxi said, her face flushed.
Zhou Shuyan’s hand, covering Lu Youxi’s, stiffened for a moment before he realized.
He simply couldn’t admit that holding Lu Youxi’s hand felt too comfortable.
After Lu Youxi was reborn, she did much less work.
Liu Yushu was sympathetic toward her, and whenever the elders were not around, she firmly refused to let her do any chores.
Furthermore, due to a previous leg injury, Lu Youxi couldn’t do many activities, so the calluses on her hands had disappeared.
Her hands were much finer than before, though still rougher than those of most girls.
But Zhou Shuyan was not worldly in terms of women; he had not touched another woman’s hand.
He just felt Lu Youxi’s hand was already soft enough, definitely softer than his.
Unconsciously, he had simply forgotten to let go of her hand.
“Ahem.” Zhou Shuyan coughed awkwardly and released Lu Youxi’s hand.
Lu Youxi looked nervously out the car window, and to mask her agitation, she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.
Busying herself with this and that, she just didn’t turn her head back.
Until they arrived at the police station.
Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan cooperated with the police to explain the events.
Including how Zhou Shuyan had been worried that Lu Zhenjia would plot against Lu Youxi.
