258 At the Police Station
Su Cunyiâs whole body fell backward on the table.
He only came back to his senses after a minute.
A bump appeared on the handsome manâs forehead, and there were three red dots on it.
Tong Yingjie gasped.
If he had lowered his head a second later, the three red dots would have been on his forehead!
Even the waiter was shocked by this, but he turned back to look at Xu Mingzhi and smiled.
âMadam Xu, I didnât expect you to be so good at this!â
Xu Mingzhi looked at him with a stiff expression as a response, and when he looked at Su Cunyi again, she was furious, âSu Cunyi! I knew it was you!â
Su Cunyi covered his forehead and was silent.
Tong Yingjieâs smile disappeared, and his eyes wandered between Su Cunyi and Xu Mingzh for a few seconds, âso you know each other? â
He had just returned to the country and did not know many people here.
Xu Mingzhi gritted her teeth. âI will spare his life now because he is my daughterâs father!â
Tong Yingjie understood. No wonder Su Cunyi had been causing trouble just now and poking at him with every word.
So they wereâ¦
âSu Cunyi, how did you know I was here?â Xu Mingzhi asked.
Su Cunyi couldnât help but straighten his sitting posture. ââ¦by chance.â
âBullshit!â Xu Mingzhi said, âdo you think I wonât ask them to check the surveillance cameras right now to see how you followed me here?â
Su Cunyi was afraid that the fact that he was living next door to her would be exposed, so he became anxious. âIf you werenât Su Jiâs mother, I wouldnât care who you went on a blind date with! But now, the person youâre going on a blind date with might be Su Jiâs stepfather in the future! Of course I have to check!â
This seemed to be the first time Su Cunyi had retaliated against Xu Mingzhi since they had met.
Xu Mingzhi smiled dangerously. She cracked her knuckles. âAmazing. You dare to talk back to me nowâ¦â
Su Cunyi was sweating.
Seeing that the situation wasnât looking good, Tong Yingjie quickly tried to calm Xu Mingzhi down. âMs. Xu, letâs not waste our breath on him.â
At that moment, the waiter served the dishes. His eyes wandered between the two tables for a while, then he quickly put down the dishes and ran away as if he was running for his life.
Tong Yingjie took this opportunity to say, âthe food is here. Letâs eat first.â
Todayâs blind date was arranged by her daughter. Xu Mingzhi didnât want to disappoint her, so she swallowed her anger and sat back down.
Su Cunyi looked at Tong Yingjieâs eager appearance and clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He stood on the spot for a few minutes and saw that Xu Mingzhi was ignoring him. He paid the bill and left.
However, he didnât completely leave.
He was smoking in the corridor.
Su Cunyi didnât know what he was angry about.
He stubbed out the cigarette in the trash can in frustration and lit another one.
He observed Tong Yingjie the moment he arrived.
Nothing great about him.
He was almost 50 years old, yet he still wanted to start a business. He was well-dressed, but he had ulterior motives.
He must have known that Xu Mingzhi was beautiful and rich, so he wanted to take advantage of her.
The more Su Cunyi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
If Xu Mingzhi was cheated, it would directly affect his daughterâs future.
No.
At this moment, the door opened and Tong Yingjie came out talking on the phone.
Su Cunyi hid behind the wall.
Tong Yingjie didnât notice him and focused on answering the phone.
He sounded a little embarrassed.
âI do have a good impression of Ms. Xu, but I donât know if she likes meâ¦â
Su Cunyi pricked up his ears.
âYouâre really making things difficult for me, forcing me to tell you my impression of her.â
âAlright,â he said.
âLooks, money, car and a house, Iâ¦!â
Su Cunyiâs eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
How shallow!
Before he could finish his sentence, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He turned around and was surprised. âMr. Su? Why havenât you leftâ¦â
The next second, a punch landed on his nose!
**
An hour later, at the street police station.
Tong Yingjieâs nose was broken, Su Cunyi had a big bruise on the corner of his mouth, and a big bump on his head.
...
The two of them didnât look at each other and turned their heads to the side.
Xu Mingzhi went to help them with the procedures with a dark face.
The two officers in the interrogation room had just finished taking their statements. One of them pointed to the bruise on Su Cunyiâs head and asked, âdid he do that?â
âYes, he did it.â
âYou!â Tong Yingjie was about to retort when he remembered where the bruise came from. âYes, I hit him, but he attacked me first. I was defending myself!â
The police officers looked at each other and shook their heads.
After taking their statements, they stood up.
âStay here. No more fighting.â
After giving the instructions, they left.
âAlready 50 years old, yet still fighting over a woman.â
âBut the woman who came with them is really pretty.â
...
âWhich one do you think she likes?â
âI guess none of them.â
âWhy do you say that?â
âWhen they first arrived, the woman asked me why I didnât detain them. I said that the injury is minor, so thatâs not necessary. Then, the woman smiled at me with a terrifying look and said âif we seriously injure them now, you can detain them, rightâ¦â?â
ââ¦â
In the interrogation room, Tong Yingjie didnât want to talk to Su Cunyi at first, but he couldnât take it anymore. He turned to him and said, âMr. Su, I just want to ask you why you hit me. You should have a reason for hitting me, right? â What did I do to offend you?â
He covered his nose in pain after he finished speaking.
Su Cunyi also covered his mouth. âDonât you know why I hit you? It canât be the first time a pretty boy like you, who wants to make a fortune from women, has been beaten up, right?â
Hearing someone suddenly say that, Tong Yingjieâs face turned red with anger. âMr. Su, donât slander me. What right do you have to call me that? If thatâs true, would I still be starting a business?â
Su Cunyi also turned to him and narrowed his eyes. âI heard everything. Someone asked you to talk about your first impression of Mingzhi. And you said sheâs pretty, rich, with a car, a house, and a vulgar place!â
When Tong Yingjie realized what he had said at that time, he felt even more wronged.
âWhat I want to say is that I donât care about her being beautiful, rich, having a car, or having a house! What I care about is that sheâs straightforward, real, interesting, and cute!â
âI didnât even get to finish my sentence before you beat me up!â
â?â Su Cunyi carefully recalled that he seemed to have said the words âI donâtâ¦â
âIf thatâs the case, why were your hands shaking when she mentioned a billion-dollar business?â Su Cunyi asked.
Tong Yingjie smiled bitterly. âYouâre quite observant. I was just shocked. Iâm not like you. Iâm not rich. Itâs normal for a normal person to be shocked when they hear such a large sum of money for the first time, right? â
He shook his head. âMr. Su, I think itâs because you canât let go of Ms. Xu in your heart. Thatâs why you think that everyone has bad intentions!â
âIâ¦â Su Cunyi felt that it was ridiculous. He opened his mouth to refute, but he was speechless.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
When he turned around, Xu Mingzhi entered.
Su Cunyi was embarrassed. He didnât know if Xu Mingzhi had heard what Tong Yingjie said.
Then, he saw Xu Mingzhi smirk sarcastically. âMr. Tong, youâve misunderstood. He got married in less than a year after we divorced. He and his wife even have twins. Do you think he hasnât let it go?â
