Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 39 Dumpling Incident

Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Dumpling Incident

Chenjiang Newspaper.

Tu Hengsha arrived at the editorial platform early in the morning with two paper bags in hand.

In the large open space, two or three people had already arrived, among them was Su Ronggui.

His workstation was in the corner, he wore a black jacket, but somehow stood out, at least the first thing she saw when she came in was his upright back. She inexplicably recalled the day when Wang confronted her, and he shielded her behind him, the scent from him, faintly mingled with a smell of green grass.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs.

She quietly walked to Su Ronggui’s side, placing the paper bags on his desk, "Good morning, Mr. Su." She had actually deliberated over what to call him. She preferred calling him Xiao Xu, but at the office, it seemed better to call him Mr. Su.

Two paper bags, one containing his clothes, which had been washed and neatly ironed, the other, a few zongzi that her mom had steamed hot again in the morning, still warm now.

He nodded, cold and indifferent, "Morning."

She wrinkled her nose, but she was already used to his demeanor, and she returned to her workstation indifferently.

Just as she sat down, she instinctively felt someone watching her. She looked up to see, and sure enough, a smiling girl came in, about her age, dressed fashionably, with those smiling eyes staring at her.

She felt the girl looked somewhat familiar, probably seen on her first day at the newspaper. After all, she was too rushed to recognize and remember everyone in the large open space, but since they were colleagues, she smiled amicably and said, "Hello, I’m the new photography journalist, Tu Hengsha. Please take care of me."

The other party continued to smile at her, just smiling, which even made Tu Hengsha inexplicably uneasy.

People gradually filled in. Although it wasn’t official working hours yet, everyone sat in their positions preparing to start the day’s work.

"Hey! You’re back?" Someone sat down beside her, talking to her.

She looked, it was Hao Ren.

She smiled and nodded, among the people in this large open space, he was one she was slightly familiar with, "Is this where you sit?"

"Yeah, I’m right next to you!" Hao Ren winked at her.

The two were talking softly when suddenly they heard a shrill voice, "Su Ronggui! What kind of stuff are you eating?"

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Su Ronggui.

The fashionable girl from earlier was now holding Tu Hengsha’s paper bag, pulling out a zongzi, openly with a look of disdain, "Tsk tsk, what is this? All dark and dirty? Can you even eat this stuff? Who knows how much bacteria and viruses are on it! It’s a wonder you won’t get sick eating it!"

Tu Hengsha’s face turned red instantly, embarrassed, more so, angry. Her mom cleaned every grain of rice and every bamboo leaf meticulously, how could it be dirty? As for the color, didn’t zongzi leaves always turn yellow when they were steamed?

Her first impulse was to stand up and defend her mom, but suddenly she thought of the many people in the newspaper, and that she only gave zongzi to Su Ronggui, which seemed inappropriate. Moreover, recalling the strange smile from that girl earlier, it was clear she had seen her give the stuff to Su Ronggui, only to break the situation when so many people were around to embarrass her on purpose.

She bit her lip and held back, looking at Su Ronggui, at this moment, she just hoped he would say something, not needing to be as imposing as when he stood between her and Wang that day, just a few words, even simple ones, just to let her know that he didn’t think the things she gave him were dirty.
