Chapter 90

Chapter 90 - He still had a nonchalant look on him, but the base of his ears turned red uncontrollably. (3)
Pu Jianyi’s smile collapsed. “I was caught off guard. She was such a delicate-looking girl. I didn’t know she’d scheme me like that! I am sure about one thing though. I think she is interested in you.”
Wen Rugui frowned. “That’s not funny!”
Pu Jianyi wasn’t backing down. “I’m serious! If she wasn’t interested in you, why would she say that the two of you had been dating for a year? If word got out, how would either one of you be able to find a spouse? Oh right, is she interested in you because she had found out about your family background?”
Wen Rugui gave him a cold look. “Comrade Tong isn’t that kind of a person. Nor is she as scheming of a person as you are.”*
Pu Jianyi, “……”
Fine. Everything was his fault.
They weren’t even an item yet and he was already so protective of her. What would happen when they become an item?
Wen Rugui stood up and said, “Well, if there is nothing else then I am going to take off. Don’t be so stupid going forward!”
Pu Jianyi: QAQ
Ignoring him, Wen Rugui walked out of the office on his long legs.
He heard a crisp voice when he walked past the interrogation room—
“You think you will not offend the He’s if you don’t testify for Comrade Su? Let me tell you. If you don’t tell the truth, that’s committing perjury and perjury is against the law!”
Why did the voice sound so familiar?
Wen Rugui stopped and looked through the window.
He saw the profile of a slim figure through the window. Her black hair was braided and came down in front of her chest. Her fair skin tone, contrasted by her black hair, wasglowing.
Wen Rugui then noticed the little red mole under the corner of her eye.
Her eyelashes were long and thick. When she lowered her eyes, they’d cover the red mole. It’d reappear again when her eyelid was lifted again. Coming and going. It reminded him of red plum [flowers] in the snowy mountain.
Hearing her words, those inside the room were anxious.
“Comrade, is it still perjury when we don’t say anything?”
“Of course it is. You’ve all seen Comrade Su Xiuying being beaten up but you said you don’t know anything. If that isn’t perjury, then what is? We have laws in this society. If you dare to break the laws, you should expect to be sent to the farms to be reformed!”
“Comrade, it isn’t that we don’t want to help out Su Xiuying. She’s pitiful, but we are also scared!”
“Exactly, Comrade. You don’t know this but the He family has a relative who’s a cop. We don’t know whether he will retaliate when he is released.”
Tong Xuelu raised her brows. “What level is he?”
“I don’t know. I think he’s an administrative personnel.”
Tong Xuelu sneered. “You are afraid of an administrative personnel? My boyfriend’s friend is a captain of the Criminal Investigation Department. Have I said anything?
“Let me tell you. As long as you tell the truth, I guarantee that nobody will pick on you later!”
“Are you sure about that, Comrade?”
“Of course it's true. My boyfriend’s surname is Wen. The captain is his buddy that grew up with him. Do you think he will stand by when I am being bullied?”
Having said that, Tong Xuelu felt that someone was looking at her.**
She reflexively turned and looked at the window. It was nice and sunny outside and there was nobody there.
She shook her head and felt that she was being too overly sensitive.
Walking out of the police station, Wen Rugui felt that Pu Jianyi’s words were being replayed in his head like a recording––
“I felt that she’s interested in you! If she didn’t, why would she say that the two of you had dated for over a year?”
The bright sun casted down onto him and his dark eyelashes quivered.
Was she really interested in him?
Something else occurred to him and his eyelashes quivered once again.
He still had a nonchalant look on him, but the base of his ears turned red uncontrollably.
