Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Interrogation

Wan Chu’er was on the verge of tears; how could it be such a coincidence!

Could it really be that Jiang Kechu had people surveilling her? She had barely sat down at home, and there he was, knocking on her door.

Without even looking back, she could imagine Xiao Bai’s rage.

Jiang Kechu, this is all your doing, why did you have to hit Xiao Bai’s nose!

After sending off the person who delivered the keys, Wan Chu’er walked towards the living room somewhat unnaturally, glancing at Xiao Bai.

If Xiao Bai were angry, he would cross his arms, snicker coldly, and not even look at her.

Wan Chu’er quickly took a seat in the same chair as before and said with a pleading tone:

"Second Brother, it’s not what you’re thinking. Just ask, and I will tell you everything with nothing left out, the whole story, every bit of it."

Xiao Bai haughtily snorted and finally graced Wan Chu’er with a look.

"First, tell me where Jiang Kechu comes from."

Uh...

How silly was that question? Could she say he was born from Mrs. Jiang?

Seeing Wan Chu’er hesitating, Xiao Bai snorted again.

Wan Chu’er had no choice but to say: "My father was a martyr, Jiang Kechu visited our home representing the military unit, and after my mother passed away, he also came to see me. After I started school in Beijing, we ran into each other a few times, and he helped me quite a bit, so we got to know each other better."

Xiao Bai snorted: "A despicable man taking advantage of others’ misfortune."

Wan Chu’er hesitated for a moment but still spoke up to defend Jiang Kechu, "Jiang Kechu only started to have feelings for me in this last half year; before that, we were both completely innocent."

"What do you mean innocent!" Xiao Bai sneered: "How old are you, and how old is he? He’s a full ten years older than you! Wan Chu’er, you should be calling him ’uncle’. An uncle fancying his niece, tsk tsk..." He shook his head.

But she was indeed calling Jiang Kechu ’uncle’, wasn’t she? Wan Chu’er blinked her eyes and stopped talking. She realized that the more she defended Jiang Kechu, the angrier Xiao Bai got.

Seeing a humble and obedient Wan Chu’er, Xiao Bai felt a bit more satisfied, thankful that she hadn’t completely lost her senses.

"Tell me about Jiang Kechu’s family." Xiao Bai continued the interrogation.

Wan Chu’er replied: "His family’re Beijing people; his father is an officer in the military, his mother a teacher, now semi-retired, and he has a younger sister named Jiang Xiaoxiao."

She was more familiar with the Jiang family than anyone, but she dared not reveal the slightest bit of her stance, staying concise and objective in her description.

Xiao Bai curled his lip—military officer plus teacher, indeed a classic combination.

He asked again, "Where have you two progressed to now?"

Wan Chu’er responded, "We only got together when he came to find me while I was teaching in K Province."

Xiao Bai snorted twice, "Really knows how to seize an opportunity."

Wan Chu’er chuckled, "If there’s anything else you want to ask, just go ahead." Her attitude couldn’t be better.

Xiao Bai’s eyes rolled as he said, "Jiang Kechu, Wan Chu’er, don’t you think even your names are incompatible? If it were ancient times, it would be considered four pillars of destiny that do not match. Aren’t you afraid he’ll ’Ke’ (overcome) you?"

Uh...

Wan Chu’er hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to bring up their names, true, even the names sounded a bit inappropriate.

It seemed Xiao Bai really disliked Jiang Kechu, not to mention the mess caused by that punch; it seemed difficult to change the situation. For the moment, Wan Chu’er felt somewhat helpless.

Shall we have Xiao Bai call back again? Or just beat up Jiang Kechu to vent some frustration? Anyway, Jiang Kechu can take a beating.

Wan Chu’er thought it was a good idea, so she said with a grin, "Second Brother, I know you’re holding a grudge against Jiang Kechu for punching you..."

"What do you mean holding a grudge? ’Holding a grudge’ is a derogatory term!

He punched me without saying a word, am I not allowed to be angry?

Wan Chu’er, don’t be so obviously biased towards Jiang Kechu, okay? I’m your dear Second Brother, he’s an outsider!"

Xiao Bai jumped up at her words, furiously accusing Wan Chu’er of her choice of words.

Wan Chu’er hurriedly said, "Second Brother, my bad, I misspoke. What I meant was, Jiang Kechu is really bad, he deserves a beating. Since he hit you, you should hit him back. If one punch isn’t satisfying, we can stealthily hit him a few more times. You just go ahead and punch away to your heart’s content."

Anyway, Jiang Kechu isn’t here right now, anyway, he can take a beating.

Xiao Bai immediately calmed down and asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"

He didn’t believe Wan Chu’er would really be willing; they say love blinds people, especially women.

Wan Chu’er nodded vigorously, assuring him it was truer than true gold.

Xiao Bai said, "Then when will you call Jiang Kechu over and tell him not to fight back?"

"No problem."

Seeing how readily Wan Chu’er agreed, Xiao Bai finally felt a bit better. Remembering what Wan Chu’er had mentioned before, he asked,

"You said he helped you a few times. Tell me about it, let me screen them for you, see if it’s just an old man’s trick to confuse young girls."

Wan Chu’er: "..."

That comment was really infuriating.

After some thought, Wan Chu’er picked the incident with Li Gang and the near-drowning during her teaching stint to tell Xiao Bai, hoping that these life-saving graces could somewhat improve Jiang Kechu’s image.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was astounded and jumped right up.

"What? Someone drugged you? Why didn’t you tell me! You reckless girl, such a big incident happened and you didn’t even utter a word to me. If something really happened to you, how could I face your mother, my Aunt!

And what kind of people are in your school, if they can’t pursue you, they either drug you or try to drown you. Indeed, an educated scoundrel is more terrifying, each worse than the next!"

Xiao Bai paced back and forth in the living room, incessantly scolding Wan Chu’er, cursing those who harbored ill intentions towards his family’s Chuchu, and complaining about the variety of people one could encounter in the vast world.

He suddenly stopped, momentarily frightened by the thought of what could have happened to Chuchu if Jiang Kechu hadn’t arrived in time on those two occasions.

He couldn’t bear to think about it. Just thinking made his back feel cold.

In a burst of anger, his brain suddenly concocted a thought: Could these two incidents have been orchestrated by Jiang Kechu? Wan Chu’er, who always appears cold, is actually the most naive at heart, and takes everything people say at face value.

Wan Chu’er saw Xiao Bai suddenly staring at her motionless, so she shrugged and asked, "What’s up, Second Brother?"

Xiao Bai said, "Second Brother needs to make good money for you, turn you into a wealthy person, then hire two personal bodyguards for you, plus a secretary or assistant. Who makes you such a trouble-magnet?"

Wan Chu’er: "..."

What kind of thought process is this? She chuckled and said, "Then let’s both work hard and strive for that."

Xiao Bai nodded earnestly.

Thinking that Jiang Kechu’s storm could finally be sidestepped, Wan Chu’er stretched lazily and said, "Second Brother, I need to freshen up and rest." With that, she headed towards the bedroom.

"Stop right there!" Xiao Bai chuckled, "Hand over that key you had just now, kiddo. Trying to play that game with me, you still need more practice."
