“There was a good deed done in our city today. It was my personal experience, so I now have first-hand information about what happened.”
Su Qingsang looked at the words on the bottom of the screen and saw that the woman was actually a host of the local TV station in Rong City.
Without any exaggeration, she vividly told the story of how Su Qingsang had caught the thief. When she finished, her face changed. “Unfortunately, the kind lady refused to accept my expression of gratitude. She just left after catching the thief. Now I really, really want to see this beautiful brave lady to thank her seriously.”
Su Qingsang almost wanted to laugh. No wonder the woman had been so talkative at the police station, she was a host.
“However—” Suddenly, the host smiled brightly and gently moved a finger. She said, “I know her name.”
Su Qingsang was startled.
“If you have seen the beautiful and brave Miss Su Qingsang from the distant Lin City, or know where Miss Su Qingsang is, please tell me her contact information or address. I want to find her and thank her.”
…
Not only Su Qingsang, but everyone in the living room was staring at the screen.
After the news ended, all eyes were turned to Su Qingsang.
Someone from Lin City named Su Qingsang? Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and stopped playing Go. “Sweetheart, would that happen to be you?”
Su Qingsang smiled a little awkwardly. “Would you believe it if I said no?”
“Sweetheart.” Huo Jinyao clenched her hand and said, “I didn’t know you had such skills.”
“Don’t listen to that person; I have no skill at all.” Su Qingsang touched her forehead. “I was just lucky today.”
“You subdued a thief with a single move. That was luck?” Huo Jinyao didn’t believe it at all.
“I said that woman was talking nonsense.”
How could she be that good? Su Qingsang looked at these people and explained the whole story quietly.
What she said and what the host said were two totally different things. It didn’t stop the Huo Family from listening carefully to her.
Old Master Huo listened especially closely. He had wanted to be a soldier before but, because he had had the family business to look after, he had to stay home to look after it. The person who had joined the army had been his brother, Huo Yangyuan, who had transferred to civilian work because of an injury sustained on the battlefield.
Now, Old Master Huo was very happy to know that Su Qingsang had such courage and nerve. “Good, very good. You are such a good girl.”
“Grandpa.” Su Qingsang blushed and said, “It was really not a big deal, just a really, really small thing.”
“It is remarkable to help a stranger in need. You are also neither arrogant nor impetuous. You maintain peace of mind. Very good.”
Old Master Huo turned to look at Huo Jinyao and said, “Jinyao, you’ve married a good wife.”
“Of course.” Huo Jinyao put his arm around Su Qingsang’s shoulders. Praise for her was just as nice as praise for him. “I have always had a good eye.”
“Good.” Old Master Huo was pleased. “Qingsang, don’t hurry to go; stay here a few more days. I’m happy when you’re here.”
“I will.”
Now, she would have to wait for Huo Jinyao to finish his work even if she wanted to leave. Although she was in a hurry, it didn’t matter if she stayed a few more days. She had promised she would.
