Li Yuhe certainly knew that marriage could only be finalized with the consent of both parents, but she was not afraid of the long night and more dreams.
My younger brother reminded her that there were many girls who wanted to marry a rich husband like Jay Chou, and if she didn't seize the opportunity, she would miss it.
"Let's put the marriage on hold for a bit. Let's get the marriage certificate first. Don't tell me your parents are going to get involved in this, are they?"
Zhou Jie took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, my parents don't agree with me being with you. I know you're gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. But the girl my mom introduced me to is not bad either. She's a teacher with a formal job, and her parents are both well-off."
Li Yuhe felt a pang of jealousy. "Then why don't you stay with her instead of provoking me?"
"Who made me fall in love with you first, Yuhe?" Zhou Jie held Li Yuhe's hand and said affectionately: "Give me some more time, I can convince my parents to accept you. Can't we get married then?"
"But..." Zhou Jie covered Li Yuhe's mouth and said, "No buts, I just want to marry you as my wife."
"Ajie, you're so nice." After a while of sweet talk, Li Yuhe finally let go of her worries. "Why don't uncle and aunt agree that we should be together?"
"You're just saying your family isn't worthy of ours, you old stubborn one."
"Bah." Li Yuhe spat and said, "In the past, our family really wasn't worthy. But now my brother's farm has become a pillar of the county, and my family is also a millionaire. How can we not be worthy of yours? Are your family the emperors?"
Zhou Jie sighed. "I know your farm is very profitable, but the old couple doesn't believe it. They think you're a liar trying to trick them. How about you take me to see it tomorrow?"
"Stop it, I need to go to work."
"Yuhe, are you unappreciated by your family?" Zhou Jie changed the subject and struck a chord with her. "We've known each other for two months now, and you should let me meet your family. Otherwise, how can I propose to you?"
"This..." Li Yuhe hesitated, regretting it long ago. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have fallen out with her family. It wouldn't be good for her to go back now.
Zhou Jie was good at reading people's expressions and could tell at a glance that Li Yuhe had had a quarrel with her family, and it was very unpleasant. "Did you have a quarrel with your family?"
"Yes." Li Yuhe complained: "My younger brother refused to give me money."
"Why don't you want to? Is it because you don't deserve it?"
"How could that be?" Zhou Jie's words touched Li Yuhe's bottom line, and she immediately flew into a rage. "He just looks down on me. Why can the good-for-nothing older sisters build houses and suck his blood, but I can't? Why does he treat me differently? I loved him when we were little, too. Why can't he treat me the same?"
"Don't be sad. After all, you are siblings. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge. I'll go back with you tomorrow, and we'll get the money and get the marriage certificate. What do you think?"
"Yeah." Li Yuhe hugged him as if he was holding a piece of driftwood, and felt much more at ease.
The two hugged each other reluctantly for a while, and a beam of light came out from the flashlight and hit them directly.
Before Li Yuhe could scream, two men in uniform came forward to separate them and subdued Zhou Jie.
"Why are you arresting me?" Zhou Jie was terrified when he saw the police uniform. How did he run into the police? Who was torturing him?
"Are you Zhou Jie?" the leading police officer showed his ID. "Someone has reported you for fraud. Come with me to the police station."
"I didn't, I didn't." Zhou Jie kept shouting Li Yuhe's name as he was dragged away. "Yuhe, tell them I didn't commit fraud, Yuhe."
Li Yuhe was completely dumbfounded.
Scam?
Isn’t Jay Chou a rich second-generation? How could he be a fraud?
Also, who reported it?
Before she could think about it, the police took her to take a statement. She sat in the police car blankly, her mind blank.
Li Yuhe racked his brains and couldn't find anything different about Zhou Jie. No, there must be something wrong.
Li Yuhe thought of someone, his closest relative Li Heng.
If he hadn't come over today and said something inexplicable to her, she wouldn't have called out Zhou Jie. It was because she called out Zhou Jie that he was arrested.
Why did my younger brother mess up his own marriage?
It wasn't until he saw his younger brother at the police station that Li Yuhe lost his temper and glared at him. "What on earth did you do?"
"Fourth sister, don't get excited. I believe there will be a result soon. Just calm down and take notes first."
No matter what record she made, her good fortune would be ruined by that brat. "Are you reporting me because you can't stand seeing me doing well?"
Police Officer B said helplessly, "Sister, don't get too excited. If your friend Zhou Jie isn't involved in fraud, you can rest assured we will handle this impartially."
"How could he be a fraud? He wears designer clothes and doesn't even talk like a country bumpkin. He..." Li Yuhe glared at Li Heng fiercely and said angrily, "Are you really going to ruin my marriage before you're satisfied?"
Xu Jing was much calmer than her. "Fourth sister, don't get excited yet. You can scold me after the results come out."
The interrogation ended soon. When the police came out, Li Yuhe stopped him in an agitated state. "Officer, where is my boyfriend Zhou Jie?"
"He was administratively detained on suspicion of fraud and will appear in court after the details are known."
"What?" Li Yuhe couldn't believe his ears. "How could he commit fraud?"
"Comrade, we understand your feelings right now. But we have to tell you that your boyfriend, Zhou Jie, has cheated more than just you. According to his account, he's already defrauded four or five other people, with amounts ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. The details won't be known until further questioning. Please make a statement first, and then return home and wait for further notice."
Li Yuhe took the statement in a daze and was still confused when he walked out of the police station.
"Fourth sister, are you okay?" Xu Jing had just put his hand on her shoulder when she ruthlessly shook it off. "Don't touch me. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out this way. You have ulterior motives and ill intentions. I was wrong about you. You're an ungrateful person."
If it weren't for that brat interfering, I would have married Zhou Jie, the rich second generation, long ago.
Li Yuhe said loudly: "Why did you expose him? Don't you want me to marry well?"
Xu Jing waited until she had finished her tantrum, then said coldly, "Fourth sister, you need to recognize your own situation and status. You can climb up the social ladder if you want, but you must also have the ability to do so."
"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Li Yuhe stared at him intently. If he wasn't her brother, she would have taken action long ago. "Don't interfere in my affairs from now on."
"Fourth sister, have you thought about the consequences? If you give him 10,000 yuan and he suddenly disappears, what will you do?"
