She suddenly felt sorry for Luosang. As a woman who was loved by Mr. Nian, her life could be not easy.
âSister, your boyfriend is a freak.â Mo Liuxi said.
Luosang gave him a glance and said, âLike youâre not a freak.â
âWhatâs wrong with me?â Mo Liuxi crossed his arms across his chest.
Luosang sighed and said, âEarlier today, Yan Su greeted you but you ignored her.â
Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows, said, âDid I see her today?â
Luosang didnât know what to say. She wondered how unhappy Yan Su would be if she had heard that.
âWhen you left home, she came out of the elevator. She said hi to you but you didnât respond,â said Luosang.
Mo Liuxi thought for a moment then said, âI remember. Someone did say hi to me when I went into the elevator. I didnât pay any attention to her though.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was thinking about Xu Zhengxuan and was in a bad mood at the time.
Luosang sighed. âSu is a pretty girl. She has officially become a singer and has gained some fame. Do you have to treat her that way?â
She had even asked Yan Su to look after her brother.
âIâm sorry, I donât listen to music.â Mo Liuxi shrugged blandly and said, âEver since high school, all kinds of women greet me when I am walking on the road, or try to strike up a conversation with me with all sorts of excuses. Iâve been ignoring them and that has become a habit. Iâm sorry.â
Nian Junting snorted, shook his head, and said, âThe young people nowadays are too arrogant.â
Luosang gave him a glance.
Like youâre not arrogant, she thought, when it comes to arrogance, Liuxi is not as good as you.
âBut,â Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and continued, âDid your friend complain to you about a small thing like that?â
Luosang really wanted to pinch his cheeks. âIt was a small thing to you, but to Su, it was embarrassing.â
âAlright, since sheâs your friend, Iâll respond to her when she greets me again. But I wonât respond to the other girls in school. Iâm too busy to deal with women,â said Mo Liuxi blandly.
âDonât worry, she wonât greet you again,â said Luosang. âYou donât have classes now. What are you busy with?â
âJust staying at home.â
Luosang was speechless. She honestly didnât know what to say. Fortunately, her brother was handsome. If he was an ugly boy who always stayed at home, heâd never have a girlfriend.
An Lan grabbed her then whispered in her ear, âI donât think Iâll introduce your brother to my sister.â
Luosang didnât know how to respond. She could totally understand. Such an arrogant boy wasnât so appealing indeed.
Nian Junting glanced at Luosang blandly then said, âYou need to teach your brother some lessons.â
Luosang was speechless.
How can you say that about him? Arenât you two supposed to be best friends? She thought.
Abruptly, she recalled the young man that Nian Xi brought home last time.
If they got together, there would be drama between the three men in the family.
However, Luosang figured that would be impossible.
...
The plane arrived at An City. The four of them took a taxi to the police station.
Lu Kang had already been sent to the police station by Nian Junting in the morning. As Yi Jingxi had turned himself in, the entrance of the police station was jammed with reporters from all over the country.
When the four entered the police station, some sharp-eyed reporters spotted Luosang and immediately surrounded her.
âMiss. Xu, Yi Jingxi suddenly turned himself in. Is it because you have strong evidence against him? Based on what we know, Yi Jingxi and the current principal of An City Film College gave false testimony and framed your father together. Is that true?â
Luosang was a little confused. She had no idea if it had anything to do with the current principal of the school. Yi Jingxi didnât mention that last time.
âYi Jingxi turned himself in because heâs stung by his conscience.â
Nian Junting said to the reporters on behalf of Luosang, âHowever, he has made too many mistakes. He has realized that he was wrong now but we will still let him get the punishment that he deserves. I think you, as reporters, should reflect upon your own. Your articles once put my girlfriend in a hopeless situation. She had no choice but to conceal her true identity for a new life. What did she do wrong? She was innocent the whole time. Next time, think before you start writing. Do not hurt innocent people. Your job is telling the truth to the public, not targeting innocent people. Without any proof, you wrote hurtful words about her and made her a victim. If you canât do your job right, just quit.â
Hearing his words, the reporters didnât know how to respond.
After a while, a female reporter broke the silence. âMiss. Xu, Iâm sorry. I published an article about the case. I apologize to you.â
âMe too.â More and more reporters apologized to Luosang.
Luosang was relieved. âI accept your apologies, but I also want to tell you that back then, many articles were targeting me. On the internet, in my real life, I could hear awful words from everywhere. If I hadnât wanted to help my father, I might have killed myself under that kind of pressure. Now you know that my father is innocent. How would you feel if I had killed myself at that time?â
The people fell into silence again. Nian Junting put a hand on her shoulder.
Behind him, Mo Liuxi glanced at Nian Junting with a complicated expression, eyes showing a trace of admiration which was rarely seen on his face.
As they entered the police station, Lu Kang greeted them from upstairs. They walked up.
âHowâs it going?â Nian Justing asked.
âThe police have questioned Principal Cheng from An City Film College,â Lu Kang said. âIf itâs true, Iâm afraid the case canât be ended in just a couple of days.â
Luosang murmured, âMy fatherâs former assistant helped Yi Jingxi, so did Principal Cheng...â
Lu Kang said, âBack then, he wasnât the principal yet. He was one of your fatherâs subordinates. After your father went to prison, he became the principal. I can understand it. He did it for himself. Yi Jingxi knew what they wanted.â
âPrincipal Cheng will definitely hire a lawyer to pass the buck to Yi Jingxi and to get himself a lower sentence,â An Lan said.
Nian Junting said with a cold face, âBy any means, make sure he gets the worst punishment. He should have worked hard to get a promotion instead of taking this kind of foul path.â
...
Twenty minutes later, Captain Wu who was in charge of the case came over to shake Nian Juntingâs hands. âMr. Nian,â he said, âActually, you donât need to wait here. Iâll inform you if thereâs any news.â
âIâd like to know when my father-in-law can be released,â said Nian Junting.
âPrincipal Cheng refused to admit his crime. I guess heâs going to talk to his lawyer about it. Yi Jingxi has pleaded. However, the case involves a lot of people. Principal Cheng is well-connected in An City. To investigate this case will certainly cause a sensation. Weâll do our best.â Captain Wu spoke honestly, âWeâll try to end it within a week.â
