As expected, upon hearing Zhu Xiangxiangâs words, Shen Zhou slightly furrowed his brows.
âMs. Zhu misunderstood.â Shen Ke explained.
âWe came to thank you for your heroism that day. If it werenât for you stepping up, our familyâs old man might have been in danger.â
âSo, you are the family of that old man.â Zhu Xiangxiang looked at them.
âIs the old man okay now? If I have time, Iâd like to visit him.â Zhu Xiangxiang asked with a worried expression.
âThe old man is in good health and has been discharged from the hospital.â
Zhu Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief: âThatâs good.â
Charles Gao suddenly took out his phone and found a video: âSo the girl who saved people in the video was Ms. Zhu.â
Zhu Xiangxiang smiled: âYou flatter me. It was just a small deed.â
Charles Gao suddenly frowned: âBut I donât think the person in the video looks anything like Ms. Zhu.â
Zhu Xiangxiangâs face stiffened, and Shen Ke noticed that her hairstyle had changed.
She had short hair when he saw her at the café last time, but now, her hair was long?
âThe girl in the video had short hair, but Ms. Zhu has long hair. Can your hair change length at will?â Charles Gao pressed.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs smile stayed on her face as she flipped her hair: âCanât I wear a wig for my styling needs?â
Charles Gao nodded: âOf course, butâ¦â
Zhu Xiangxiang was hating Charles Gao in her heart. Why was he always against her?
âBut being Ms. Zhu of the Zhus, having a private car to pick you up and drop you off at school, why would you take the subway during rush hour?â Charles Gao looked at Zhu Xiangxiang with a smirk, wondering how she would explain this.
Shen Ke furrowed his brows; he had overlooked this fact.
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth: âI occasionally take the subway to and from school to experience the hardships of life.â
Charles Gao almost laughed. What a weak excuse.
Did she think she was the emperor? Going on an undercover tour to experience the peopleâs suffering?
Shen Zhou gave Zhu Xiangxiang a deep look: âMs. Zhu, on the phone that day, you said you would stay with my father until he woke up. Why did you leave when my assistant went to find you?â Telephone?
Zhu Xiangxiangâs brow furrowed.
Shen Zhou looked at Shen Ke and then turned and left.
Realizing too late, Shen Ke asked seriously: âMs. Zhu, was that really you who saved people on the subway that day?â
Shen Keâs stern face was intimidating, especially to Zhu Xiangxiang, a girl who hadnât even left high school. Her expression changed instantly.
âAre you⦠suspecting that Iâm pretending? Itâs disgraceful to be accused like this. Itâs ridiculous to get in trouble for doing good deeds.â The girlâs face was full of righteous indignation, as if she had been wronged.
Shen Ke shook his head. He had been muddleheaded. This whole matter felt strange, and he should investigate it more thoroughly.
âMs. Zhu, weâll meet again.â With that, Shen Ke hurriedly left to catch up with
Shen Zhou.
âStop acting. All the audience is gone. Who are you performing for?â Charles Gao crossed his arms and looked down at Zhu Xiangxiang.
Zhu Xiangxiang glared at him: âWhy are you always against me?â
Charles Gao sneered: âBecause some people are just too shameless.â
Zhu Xiangxiang looked at him suspiciously. Did he know something?
Charles Gao pointed at her and said: âPeople do things, and God watches. Do you think everyone is a fool?â
Zhu Xiangxiang frowned: âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
Charles Gao rolled his eyes: âI truly underestimated the thickness of your skin.â
With that, he hurried away. He was busy tonight and had no time to tangle with her. Once tonightâs banquet was over, he would settle accounts with her.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs heart raced. Why were things not going as she had expected, and instead, none of them believed her?
Did she say something wrong?
Shen Zhou and Shen Ke hadnât seen Zhu Mingjing, so they certainly wouldnât know, but what about Charles Gao? He knew Zhu Mingjing well. If he recognized her and told Shen Zhouâ¦
She would be in trouble.
Zhu Xiangxiang immediately chased after Charles Gao.
Ming Jing stepped out of the darkness, shaking his head with a smile.
So this was what Zhu Xiangxiang had been up to these days behind everyoneâs back.
How could someone be this foolish?
âSo thatâs the backstory between Xiangxiang and Shen Zhou.â Sun Yi sighed. Ming Jing glanced at him: âYou and Zhu Xiangxiang are quite a match.â
Sun Yi smiled, already thinking they were a great match.
âOne is blind, and the other is foolish.â
With that, Ming Jing left, ignoring the ugly look on Sun Yiâs face..
