Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 238

Tu Hengsha ran around reporting news all day, and by the time she finished, it was already evening. She then rushed to submit her article, working overtime with Hao Ren for several hours. When she left the newspaper office, yawning, it was almost midnight.

Su Ronggui’s car was parked conspicuously in the newspaper office’s parking lot at this late hour, its headlights flickering, clearly indicating someone was inside.

Could it be that Su Rongyu was in there playing games as if the world outside didn’t matter?

She waved goodbye to Hao Ren and walked closer to see, only to find that the person inside was not Su Rongyu but Mr. Su himself, naturally not gaming but instead sleeping like a log...

She knocked on the window, and the person inside woke up groggily.

"What on earth are you doing here? Exhausted like this! Why didn’t you go upstairs to wait?" she asked him after getting in the car.

He became a bit more awake, "It’s nothing, I haven’t been here long."

"Honestly, you didn’t have to come to pick me up! And you certainly didn’t need to trouble Su Rongyu! I can make it home by myself!" Coming to pick her up despite being so tired, was he deliberately trying to make her feel guilty? Besides, that matter was already over; she didn’t believe anyone would dare to mess with her again.

"I promised to take you home tonight!" He massaged his temples, feeling fully awake now, and then started the car.

"..." Only then did she remember that he did agree to accompany her home to face the scolding, but it seemed he still wasn’t planning on telling her what he’d been busy with these past days.

She was also quite tired herself, yawned, and didn’t ask much.

She originally didn’t want him to go home with her, but he insisted on escorting her upstairs. Once inside, as expected, Shu Hui was glaring at them intently like a tiger ready to pounce.

Tu Hengsha panicked immediately and called out, "Mom."

"Where were you last night?" Shu Hui’s gaze seemed sharp enough to bore holes through the pair, especially towards Su Ronggui, as if saying: Do you dare to come to my doorstep?

"At my house." "Working overtime!"

Both spoke in unison, but their answers were vastly different.

Shu Hui looked at them like they were mischievous students, with an air of seeing through their lies immediately.

Tu Hengsha closed her eyes with a look of hopelessness. You’d think Mr. Su, usually so clever, would have a mutual understanding with her at a time like this. Why was he being so honest?

"Tu Hengsha, you say it!"

The tone was just like when reprimanding a mischievous student! Tu Hengsha was used to it and could only answer quietly, "At... his... house... working overtime..." It was sort of overtime, wasn’t it? She’d spent the whole night writing calligraphy...

Shu Hui wasn’t buying her story and only asked, "Do you remember the usual rule?"

"..." Tu Hengsha looked distressed. Not again! Wasn’t she already too old for the usual rule? "I remember..."

"Then go." Shu Hui turned to Su Ronggui, not looking too pleased, "Same for you."

"What’s the usual rule?" Su Ronggui whispered to Tu Hengsha.

Tu Hengsha sulked, "Write a reflection! Two thousand words!" Mr. Su, really! If he hadn’t insisted on escorting her upstairs, he would have been the only one punished, and she could have passed off these two thousand words for him to write. But now, could she bear to make him suffer through writing four thousand words?

Su Ronggui was still bewildered. Throughout his life, he was excellent and hassle-free, and had never written a reflection!

Shu Hui began to give an eviction notice. Ever since the last time she caught him in Tu Hengsha’s room engaging in "inappropriate behavior," she hadn’t given him a good face. "Go back! Don’t come to the house without a completed reflection!"

As soon as Su Ronggui tried to gather himself, Shu Hui stood up and moved the chair.

Recalling the previous scenario vividly, Tu Hengsha screamed, "Run!" and pushed Su Ronggui out while blocking the door herself, protecting him like a mother hen.

Shu Hui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she forced herself to keep a straight face and slapped Tu Hengsha on the shoulder, "If I wanted to hit him, can you stop me?"

Tu Hengsha straightened up, very stubborn, "With me here, how can I let you hit him?"

Shu Hui was so angry that she slammed the door, almost hitting the person outside, "How could I have given birth to such a shameless daughter! Were the values I taught you eaten by dogs?"

Tu Hengsha anxiously shouted, "Are you alright? Did the door hit your face?"

"No, it didn’t! How about you?" came the reply from outside.

"I’m fine! You go now!" she sighed in relief and complained to Shu Hui, "Mom! If you hit him, don’t hit the face! That face is to be seen by others! And it’s so handsome too! If you injure it, how is he supposed to make a living?"

Shu Hui blew up further, "Really, you’re way too shallow! I’ve told you countless times, you can’t only see the face when assessing a person! Do you support him just because he’s good-looking? A daughter as disappointing as you really drives me mad..."

Not to mention the harsh scolding from Shu Hui, after which Tu Hengsha went back to her room and started pondering her reflection. This wasn’t much of a challenge for her, but she was concerned about Mr. Su, so she made a call to ask what he was doing. It turned out he was sitting in the car on Baidu, searching how to write a reflection, as he’d never written one in his whole life...

Well, she had forgotten that Mr. Su was an exemplary student since childhood...

Then, she decided to take full responsibility and cover Mr. Su’s 2000-word part as well!

Originally, Su Ronggui felt somewhat guilty because text work was supposed to be his responsibility.

"Oh, come on!" Tu Hengsha immediately exclaimed, "You’re a top reporter, wouldn’t it be a waste to write a reflection? I’m too experienced with this stuff, and I have a drawer full of drafts. I’ll just piece a few sections together, and it’ll be done!"

What Tu Hengsha didn’t realize was that even the closest people should have a little secret between them. By exposing everything, it was like digging a hole for herself, leading to even larger pitfalls awaiting her in her future life.

For the next few days, she was busy, even taking a long trip with Hao Ren. When she returned, it had suddenly turned cold, and by the time she arrived back at the station in the evening, standing in the wind made her shiver.

Upon exiting, Hao Ren offered his jacket to her, which she adamantly refused. Why should she be the exception to the cold because she’s a girl? Just then, a cheerful voice called out, "Second sister-in-law!"

Su Rongyu’s beaming face appeared in front of her, holding a down jacket, "Second brother knew you’d be cold, so he asked me to bring it for you!"

"Alright, the warm brand! I’ll leave now then! Bye-bye!" Hao Ren wisely waved goodbye to her.

Su Rongyu cheerfully draped the jacket over her, urging, "Let’s go, let’s go, we’ve got good food at home, just waiting for you!"

Tu Hengsha smiled, "Where’s your second brother?" If he was at home, why was it him coming to fetch her?

"He must be busy, I don’t know. I just follow orders and complete my tasks! Hehe." Su Rongyu chatted with her all the way home, even inquiring, "Second sister-in-law, why haven’t you been hanging out with Fan Yue? Next time we have a meal at home, we should invite Fan Yue to join!"

Tu Hengsha paused, "Everyone... is busy, I guess."

Su Rongyu nodded in agreement, "True."

Su Rongyu drove her to the small courtyard. After getting out of the car, he led, and she followed, both entering the yard together.

As he took one step in, he suddenly yelped, turned around, and covered Tu Hengsha’s eyes, "Go, go, go! Second sister-in-law, let’s go eat out..."

"..." What kind of stunt was he pulling? She forcefully removed his hand and looked inside, only to see amidst the windy yard, Su Ronggui had two people in his arms—a big one and a little one, Chen Qi and her son...
