She suddenly felt sorry for Luosang. As a woman who was loved by Mr. Nian, her life could be not easy.
“Sister, your boyfriend is a freak.” Mo Liuxi said.
Luosang gave him a glance and said, “Like you’re not a freak.”
“What’s wrong with me?” Mo Liuxi crossed his arms across his chest.
Luosang sighed and said, “Earlier today, Yan Su greeted you but you ignored her.”
Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows, said, “Did I see her today?”
Luosang didn’t know what to say. She wondered how unhappy Yan Su would be if she had heard that.
“When you left home, she came out of the elevator. She said hi to you but you didn’t respond,” said Luosang.
Mo Liuxi thought for a moment then said, “I remember. Someone did say hi to me when I went into the elevator. I didn’t pay any attention to her though.”
He was thinking about Xu Zhengxuan and was in a bad mood at the time.
Luosang sighed. “Su is a pretty girl. She has officially become a singer and has gained some fame. Do you have to treat her that way?”
She had even asked Yan Su to look after her brother.
“I’m sorry, I don’t listen to music.” Mo Liuxi shrugged blandly and said, “Ever 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. I’ve been ignoring them and that has become a habit. I’m sorry.”
Nian Junting snorted, shook his head, and said, “The young people nowadays are too arrogant.”
Luosang gave him a glance.
Like you’re not arrogant, she thought, when it comes to arrogance, Liuxi is not as good as you.
“But,” Mo Liuxi raised his eyebrows and continued, “Did your friend complain to you about a small thing like that?”
Luosang really wanted to pinch his cheeks. “It was a small thing to you, but to Su, it was embarrassing.”
“Alright, since she’s your friend, I’ll respond to her when she greets me again. But I won’t respond to the other girls in school. I’m too busy to deal with women,” said Mo Liuxi blandly.
“Don’t worry, she won’t greet you again,” said Luosang. “You don’t have classes now. What are you busy with?”
“Just staying at home.”
Luosang was speechless. She honestly didn’t know what to say. Fortunately, her brother was handsome. If he was an ugly boy who always stayed at home, he’d never have a girlfriend.
An Lan grabbed her then whispered in her ear, “I don’t think I’ll introduce your brother to my sister.”
Luosang didn’t know how to respond. She could totally understand. Such an arrogant boy wasn’t so appealing indeed.
Nian Junting glanced at Luosang blandly then said, “You need to teach your brother some lessons.”
Luosang was speechless.
How can you say that about him? Aren’t 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.
“Miss. 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?”
Luosang was a little confused. She had no idea if it had anything to do with the current principal of the school. Yi Jingxi didn’t mention that last time.
“Yi Jingxi turned himself in because he’s stung by his conscience.”
Nian Junting said to the reporters on behalf of Luosang, “However, 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 can’t do your job right, just quit.”
Hearing his words, the reporters didn’t know how to respond.
After a while, a female reporter broke the silence. “Miss. Xu, I’m sorry. I published an article about the case. I apologize to you.”
“Me too.” More and more reporters apologized to Luosang.
Luosang was relieved. “I 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 hadn’t 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?”
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.
“How’s it going?” Nian Justing asked.
“The police have questioned Principal Cheng from An City Film College,” Lu Kang said. “If it’s true, I’m afraid the case can’t be ended in just a couple of days.”
Luosang murmured, “My father’s former assistant helped Yi Jingxi, so did Principal Cheng…”
Lu Kang said, “Back then, he wasn’t the principal yet. He was one of your father’s 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.”
“Principal Cheng will definitely hire a lawyer to pass the buck to Yi Jingxi and to get himself a lower sentence,” An Lan said.
Nian Junting said with a cold face, “By 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.”
…
Twenty minutes later, Captain Wu who was in charge of the case came over to shake Nian Junting’s hands. “Mr. Nian,” he said, “Actually, you don’t need to wait here. I’ll inform you if there’s any news.”
“I’d like to know when my father-in-law can be released,” said Nian Junting.
“Principal Cheng refused to admit his crime. I guess he’s 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. We’ll do our best.” Captain Wu spoke honestly, “We’ll try to end it within a week.”
