Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 128: A Wonderful Person

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: A Wonderful Person

He nodded, with a very serious expression, "You are really a fascinating person!"

"..." Where did this come from? Is it a compliment or an insult?

But then he spoke softly, "Facing a man like me whom you barely know, you could let me feed you, wash your feet, and even let me... see the mole on your chest."

The feeding and washing part could be overlooked, but when the words "mole on your chest" popped out, Tu Hengsha got furious, "That was an accident! You damn hooligan!" It was during her hospital stay when they were almost living together, and she was a patient wearing loose hospital pajamas. Once for some inexplicable reason, several buttons on her pajamas just popped open...

He stuffed the box back into her hands, "It’s not from me; Grandma gave it to you. Thank you for keeping her company. Also, I wasn’t aware of the article’s issue. I didn’t intend to explain it so clearly to you because it was a mistake on my end. I was at fault. Besides, I thought you would always believe me, but your temperament..."

He shook his head, stopped speaking, and walked away.

The box was back in her hands, echoing his words in her ears: I thought you would always believe me...

Why did these words sound so awkward?

She called out to his retreating back, "You really know how to protect your own! Clearly, it was Su Rongxing’s mistake! And now you’re blaming me for not believing you? Is it somehow my fault then?"

He turned back, gave her a helpless look, and said one word, "Fool."

"How am I being a fool again?" she was about to roar.

He looked at her, "How are you different from her?"

She was stunned for a while. By the time she came to her senses, he was already gone.

How are you different from her?

Of course, she was different from Su Rongxing! To him, she was a stranger who shouldn’t intrude on his private time and space beyond work, whereas Su Rongxing was his beloved sister! Wasn’t this difference obvious enough without him pointing it out?

She looked at the gift in her hand, quite annoyed. Why did this box end up back in her hands?

And Su Ronggui always had to go home.

He almost foresaw his mother’s fiery eyes and could almost hear the incessant reproaches in his ears.

He frowned, feeling as if a hand was trying hard to push him away, but in the end, he forced himself to squeeze through, squeezing inside the door.

"Su Ronggui, go to your room and rest for a while before coming down for dinner." Su Rongxing was being cautious around him since she had just offended him.

He didn’t stand on ceremony and directly went to his room, lying down with a gloomy face.

He was somewhat tired, having stayed up all night.

He closed his eyes and slowly started to drift off.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting, "Ronggui!"

Startled awake from his half-sleep, his head throbbed painfully, and the loud knocking on his door felt like it was pounding directly on his brain, hurting even more as if a spell had been added.

"I’m coming," he said. He opened the door.

Shang Qingmei slipped inside, and as he had expected, the scolding came straight at him, "Why did you provoke Su Rongxing again? She got bullied at work, and not only did you not help her, but you sided with others to scold her? Are you trying to make my life miserable in this family?"

He closed his eyes. For that one sentence, "Are you trying to make my life miserable in this family," he had endured it for twenty years.

"Mom." He opened his eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, "Actually, I’m not that important; you still have Rongyu, don’t you?"

Shang Qingmei was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, if my existence truly makes your life so hard, then perhaps it’s better if I weren’t in this family, since you still have Rongyu..."

Slap, a heavy slap landed on his face, a fingernail ripping his skin, stinging painfully.

"You ungrateful wretch! I’ve worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay me! Are your wings grown stiff enough to fly away? Who do you think fed and clothed you, put you through the best university? Did you learn all you studied just for the dogs?"

It was like a thunderstorm raging out of nowhere, and he stood there like a tree struck by lightning.

His phone vibrated on the table.

The newspaper office was calling.

"Su Ronggui, hurry up and come to work overtime. The morning content needs replacing!"

"I’m coming right away." He picked up his bag and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Shang Qingmei reprimanded him.

"Overtime work at the newspaper!" He hurriedly left without a pause.

As he left, the twilight was just descending, and the air was still dry and warm, yet it felt like it was filled with oxygen, a single breath refreshing him to the core.

He hailed a cab and headed to the newspaper office.

When he arrived, besides the evening shift editors who were already working, quite a few other people had come, including Hao Ren.

The editor-in-chief saw him and tapped his forehead, "I really forgot! I forgot you injured your hand! I called you out of habit!" The best young reporter and commentator at the newspaper, how could they not always keep him in mind?

He said, "It’s okay. Since I’m here, I might as well help if I can, lend a hand."

Tu Hengsha came running, and as she dashed in, he was just heading out. They bumped into each other at the door. Tu Hengsha instantly noticed his reddened face with the fingernail mark. Her first thought was that it was Su Rongxing’s handiwork! She silently thought "Serves you right," and walked past him inside directly.

At that moment, everyone began to work overtime at full speed. They hurriedly wrote commentary, rewrote news, uploaded drafts, proofread and edited, re-edited layouts, and proofread and reviewed again...

By the time they finished, it was already two in the morning.

"Hungry, let’s grab something to eat! Who wants to go?" Hao Ren initiated the call for a late-night snack, "Little Sha, are you going?"

"I..." Tu Hengsha hesitated, "I’d rather not!" If she went out for a late snack now, how much time would she have to sleep tonight? She had to work normally the next morning.

"Come on! It’s just near the newspaper office; the spicy crayfish fried rice noodles are really tasty. Once we’re done eating, I’ll take you home!" Hao Ren enthusiastically invited.

"Well..." She really didn’t feel like going.

"If you’re not interested, then don’t go," a voice sounded.

Tu Hengsha immediately made up her mind, "I’ll go! I’m going!"

Hao Ren looked at her, then at Su Ronggui, and smiled, "Off we go then, anyone else wants to join?"

Some agreed, while others hesitated.

"Let’s all go!" that voice spoke again, "Everyone, my treat! I didn’t really help much with overtime today, so let’s consider the meal on me."

Actually, everyone found it a bit strange. Su Ronggui rarely joined such activities. After all, with a sister who had exquisite tastes in everything, such street food would be deemed dirty by the young lady. But since the young lady wasn’t here today, did that mean Su Ronggui didn’t have to hold back?

But Tu Hengsha, feeling downcast, couldn’t go back on her decision not to go, so she awkwardly joined everyone for a late-night snack.
