Shen Mingzhu smiled and declined: "There's no rush. When they get married, I'll just drink the matchmaker wine."

Pei Wenping said yes with a smile, and then told Shen Mingzhu about Pei Qiuxia's family's praise for Shen Zhemin:

"...I think Qiuxia is blessed in disguise. Officer Shen is much better than the guy surnamed Jiang in every aspect. Not to mention his appearance, his position as deputy captain is far better than Jiang's."

That's true.

Whether it is the police officers in ancient times or the policemen today, they are both very popular and respected professions by the people.

Although Jiang Xinsheng is a college student and has a relatively decent job, he is still not good enough in front of Shen Zhemin.

Shen Zhemin's only shortcoming is his age, but he is still a good match for Pei Qiuxia.

Shen Zhemin, who was highly regarded by Shen Mingzhu and Pei Wenping, encountered trouble.

Someone reported to the Police Inspectorate that he had abused his power for personal gain and protected the perpetrator. He was suspended and was subject to investigation by the Inspectorate.

Pei Qiuxia was also invited to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the questioning.

…

After finishing the investigation and walking out of the Public Security Bureau, Pei Qiuxia saw Shen Zhemin leaning against a white jeep, holding a cigarette between his fingers, apparently waiting for her.

She walked towards him with heavy steps.

During the short distance of fifty meters, she thought a lot. She had caused so much trouble to the other party after just knowing each other for a few days. This marriage was probably going to fall through. If she had known this earlier, she should have been patient and not quarreled with Jiang Xinsheng that day.

"sorry."

As she approached, she spoke first.

Shin Cheol-min threw away his cigarette and looked at her with a smile, "What are you sorry for?"

"I'm the one who got you into trouble. If you hadn't helped me..."

Shin Cheol-min interrupted her: "Then treat me to a meal as an apology."

Pei Qiuxia was surprised: "Now?"

"Well, I was busy at noon and didn't have time to eat. Although it's a little early for dinner now, it doesn't matter. Did you forget your wallet?"

Pei Qiuxia said hurriedly: "I brought it."

"Okay, then get in the car."

After getting in the car, Pei Qiuxia asked Shen Zhemin what he wanted to eat.

Shin Cheol-min asked her to choose, "I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything."

Pei Qiuxia reported the name of a restaurant and asked nervously whether he would be punished for reporting it.

Shin Cheol-min did not answer the question directly, but asked her in return: "If I am really suspended, you will not let me get nothing, right?"

Pei Qiuxia's heart was pounding.

She seemed to understand what Shen Zhemin meant, but she was not quite sure.

Shen Zhemin didn't force her to answer anything, but instead asked about the investigation: "What did you tell the inspector?"

"I told them I didn't know you."

Shen Zhemin looked at her and asked, "Really don't know her?"

Pei Qiuxia blushed when he asked her, "I didn't recognize you at first, but I knew it was you when you showed me your police ID."

After answering, he asked what Shen Zhemin had told the inspector.

"I have sharp eyes and recognized you right away. I told the inspector the same thing."

Pei Qiuxia looked worried: "You shouldn't have said you knew me. Wouldn't that just prove that you were bending the law for personal gain and deliberately shielding me?"

Shen Zhemin laughed: "I am dealing with family affairs, not official business. How can I bend the law for personal gain?"

Pei Qiuxia hesitated: "Didn't you show your police ID?"

"Well, he asked me who I was, and I showed him the name on my police ID. Is that okay?"

Pei Qiuxia looked at him for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Yeah, nothing wrong."

"Finally you smiled. I saw you were about to cry. Were you scared? Isn't this your first time in the police station?"

Pei Qiuxia didn't respond to his teasing. "Your current position and achievements are accumulated through case after case. I don't know how much blood and sweat you have shed. If I am demoted or suspended because of me, I will really feel guilty towards you."

Hearing her say this, Shen Zhemin also became more serious, "Don't worry, it's no big deal, at most you'll just get criticized, but I still have to thank you."

Pei Qiuxia was puzzled.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have had the chance to take a vacation."

Pei Qiuxia couldn't help but ask, "Have you always been so busy?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"yes."

Shen Zhemin's smile faded, and his tone became more serious. "Not only now, but also in the future. Working in our industry, you are destined to not be a qualified husband and father."

"I know."

Shen Zhemin laughed again, "Why don't you run away? It's not too late to regret now."

"In a harmonious family, there must always be someone who makes sacrifices, gives in and compromises. You police officers are risking your lives to protect the lives and property of the people. Although I am not that great and selfless, I am also willing to do my best to protect and support a small family."

The tough man, who was over 1.80 meters tall, didn't shed a single tear even when his hand was almost chopped off by a vicious criminal, but his eyes were slightly red because of these words.

The atmosphere of mutual respect between the two was broken by Pei Qiuxia's heart-opening words, and they became much closer.

After dinner, Shen Zhemin dragged her to the department store and bought her a gold necklace, under the pretext of tying her up to prevent her from running away.

Pei Qiuxia felt both amused and annoyed, yet she couldn't help but feel her heart beat fast towards this tall man.

…

After returning to the food factory, Pei Qiuxia told Shen Mingzhu and Pei Wenping truthfully about Shen Zhemin being reported.

Pei Wenping was so angry that she slammed the table after hearing this: "It must have been done by the guy named Jiang. Not only is he fickle, but his methods are so insidious. It's a good thing you didn't marry him. He has such low character."

Pei Qiuxia remained silent, and she was also convinced in her heart that it was Jiang Xinsheng who did it.

There were only three of them at the bathroom door at the time. Even if outsiders saw them, they would not risk offending the police by interfering.

"He hasn't even cleaned up the shit off his own ass, and he still has the nerve to report Xiao Shen. Wait, I have plenty of ways to deal with him."

After graduation, Jiang Xinsheng joined a foreign company as a salesperson. Although his income was considerable, he also had a lot of social engagements and his expenses were like water. In order to reduce his expenses, Jiang Xinsheng often found loopholes to falsify expenses, and he learned many of these methods from Pei Wenping.

As a professional financial staff, Pei Wenping should not have done such an unethical thing, but considering that Pei Qiuxia was not young anymore, she wanted the young couple to save money as soon as possible to solve the major event in their lives.

…

"Xiansheng, you seem to be very happy these past two days. Is there something good going on?"

"Well, the projects I've been working on have been going pretty smoothly lately. If nothing goes wrong, my year-end bonus will at least double."

"Wow~ You're awesome!"

Yao Chuchu was smiling happily, picking up food for him and serving him rice and soup.

Jiang Xinsheng enjoyed his girlfriend's attentions with peace of mind, but he was thinking about his ex.

Shen Zhemin was so angry when he knew he was reported for protecting Pei Qiuxia that the two of them might have a falling out over it.

Pei Qiuxia, ah Pei Qiuxia, I don't want to make a decision either, you brought this upon yourself! (End of this chapter)
