Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Did You Offend Her?

The girl spoke again, "Su Ronggui, when I go home tonight, I’ll ask Auntie to make zongzi. These dirty things from outside should be thrown away!"

The word "throw" made Tu Hengsha’s heart tighten; she stared at Su Ronggui, but saw that he didn’t even look up, maintaining that same indifferent expression, that same indifferent tone, "Throw it away."

Throw it away... throw it away... throw it away...

The two words thundered in Tu Hengsha’s ears, making her wonder if she was hallucinating. This wasn’t something her Xiao Xu would say, no! Was the Xiao Xu who stood firm and said, "If there’s a problem, come to me, not her!" really the person in front of her?

She saw the girl smile, and the still warm zongzi flew from the girl’s hand in a long arc toward the trash can by the door.

A flash of her mom diligently wrapping zongzi crossed her mind, and her heart felt a mix of ache, swelling, and fiery anger; she couldn’t resist standing up with a loud crash as her chair skidded back.

At the same time, the zongzi didn’t land squarely in the trash can. Someone walked in at the door, the paper bag hit him, and the zongzi tumbled to the ground.

The newcomer was the chief editor, surnamed Zhou, a man in his forties.

"What’s going on here?"

The crowd, who had been watching the commotion, all silently lowered their heads to focus on their own tasks. The girl returned to her seat, leaving only Chief Zhou and Tu Hengsha standing.

In the quiet open office, her angry, tense stance made her particularly conspicuous.

Hao Ren tugged at her clothing, desperately pulling her down.

Tu Hengsha gazed at that silhouette, clad in all black, vague and distant, like being separated by layers of fog and sea.

She wondered why she had impulsively stood up. She wanted to argue that her zongzi weren’t dirty! But she also knew that if she spoke out, it would mean admitting in front of everyone that she had sent the zongzi, setting herself up for humiliation!

She should sit down, pretend nothing happened, and then it would have nothing to do with her! But she couldn’t do it! She felt heartache over her mom’s effort being ruined!

Ignoring Hao Ren’s tugging hand, she boldly walked forward to stand before Chief Zhou, picked up the zongzi, and placed them back in the paper bag one by one, lowering her head to admit fault, "I’m sorry, Chief Zhou, the zongzi are mine."

"No having breakfast during work hours!" Chief Zhou’s gaze was quite stern.

"I know, I’m sorry, I brought them for lunch."

Amidst all the speculative glances from everyone, she returned to her seat with the paper bag. That’s right, they were her zongzi, she gave them to Su Ronggui, openly and honestly, she wasn’t wrong! Whether others appreciated it was their business, why should she feel humiliated?

Hao Ren whispered to her, "Did you offend Su Rongxing?"

She frowned, who was Su Rongxing? Was it that girl just now? The name did match his...

"Su Rongxing, Su Ronggui’s sister. Someone tripped you on your first day of work, right? That was her doing too. Are you sure you haven’t offended her?"

She shook her head, she’d never met this person before!

"Stay away from her from now on! She’s domineering and unreasonable! Besides, can you eat all those zongzi? Give me some!" Hao Ren grinned at her.

She looked down at the paper bag; the zongzi that had rolled out now really were dirty!

Hao Ren hugged the paper bag, seeing through her thoughts, "Give them to me for lunch! What’s the big deal, you have to peel zongzi to eat them anyway! Let me tell you, I love eating zongzi!"
