"Alright then, Xiaojie, thank you so much. I'll change my clothes and head over."
After Xia Jie returned, she had everything prepared. Wu Mingcheng also came out after changing his clothes.
He probably heard the door open and asked,
"Xiaojie, you went out just now?"
Xia Jie said,
"I went to call Li Dawei, but when I got there, I found out he hadn't eaten anything from his takeout order, so I called him over,"
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xia Jie was serving porridge and was about to put down her bowl to open the door when Wu Mingcheng saw her and quickly said...
"I'll go open the door, you go about your business,"
As soon as Wu Mingcheng opened the door, he saw Li Dawei with a dejected expression.
Li Dawei forced a smile and greeted Wu Mingcheng.
“Mingcheng 16,”
Wu Mingcheng responded with a smile.
"Dawei, come in quickly,"
Li Dawei was feeling very down, not only because of yesterday's trending topic, but also because he had been kicked out of his home by his mother this morning.
After he came in, he didn't engage in any of his usual idle chatter; he went straight to the dining table.
The two of them sat down at the dining table, and Xia Jie brought out a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and placed it in front of him.
Li Dawei said somewhat woodenly,
"Thanks,"
Wu Mingcheng noticed that Li Dawei's mood was off, and exchanged a glance with Xia Jie.
After the three of them were seated, they began to eat breakfast.
As they ate, Xia Jie took the initiative to start talking about what happened yesterday.
"Dawei, what are your thoughts on what happened yesterday? How do you plan to resolve this?"
Wu Mingcheng then looked up at Li Dawei.
Upon hearing this, Li Dawei visibly paused, but still stubbornly continued,
"That was my private matter. I don't understand what the detention center is doing. Why do they insist that I give an explanation?"
Xia Jie clearly wasn't going to tolerate Li Dawei's immature behavior and said directly,
"Li Dawei, can't you be a little more mature? Stop acting like a child."
Upon hearing Xia Jie's words, Li Dawei became somewhat angry and said in a rather forceful tone,
"With that tone, you think you're the class monitor? If anyone should be in that position, it should be Mingcheng, not you."
Xia Jie stopped and stared at Li Dawei without moving.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng almost choked on his porridge. How did he end up drawing the flames of war to himself?
All he could do was speak.
"Dawei, don't say that. You know Xia Jie is only doing this for your own good. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't care about you."
Li Dawei felt uncomfortable under Xia Jie's gaze, so he took the initiative to ease the tension.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?"
Xia Jie then spoke up directly.
“Li Dawei, we already know that the person you pushed yesterday was your father,”
Li Dawei was stunned.
"How do you know?"
Xia Jie explained,
"It was Mingcheng who found the clue yesterday, otherwise we would still be in the dark."
Wu Mingcheng continued,
"Dawei, you don't know, last night the director, Director Cheng, the instructor, and Uncle Chen were all worried about this for you. We discussed it until very late."
Uncle Chen almost took off his police uniform for you, and even got into an argument with the station chief. Everyone wanted to protect you.
Li Dawei was shocked when he heard Wu Mingcheng's words.
"How could that be? My master hates me so much,"
Wu Mingcheng immediately said,
"You may not believe me, but you'll surely believe Xia Jie, right?"
Li Dawei then looked at Xia Jie, who spoke up.
“Mingcheng is telling the truth,”
Hearing Xia Jie's confirmation, Li Dawei finally believed it. He found it hard to believe that Chen Xincheng, who had once vowed never to take him, would actually argue with the director for his sake.
Wu Mingcheng said with emotion,
"Hey, Uncle Chen is the kind of person who's all bark and no bite. He's scolding you because he wants what's best for you."
There are some things I don't want to say too much about. You'll understand them gradually; you'll eventually feel them yourself.
Li Dawei then raised his head and said hesitantly,
279955637
"actually…………………………………"
Just as Li Dawei was about to speak, Xia Jie interrupted him.
"There are some things you don't need to tell us. What you should do is quickly explain the whole story to the director."
750
Otherwise, even if he wanted to protect you, he wouldn't be able to.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng nodded to Li Dawei.
Clearly, Li Dawei had taken Xia Jie's words to heart. He planned to go to the director and confess after he started work.
After they finished speaking, the three of them fell silent and began to quietly eat their breakfast.
After a while, Li Dawei's talkative habit became incurable.
"Xiaojie, I see the luggage you're carrying, what's going on?"
Before Xia Jie could speak, Wu Mingcheng spoke first.
"Here's the thing, Xiaojie wants to rent an apartment near her workplace, and I think my two-bedroom apartment is just right. Xiaojie can also help me share the rent."
Xia Jie turned to look at Wu Mingcheng. Wu Mingcheng had clearly not asked for her rent.
But he said that because he was afraid of people gossiping behind his back, which touched Xia Jie deeply.
Li Dawei said curiously,
"Xiaojie, don't you live at home? Are you really going to rent a place?"
Xia Jie sighed at this moment.
“My mom…………………………”
She shook her head and stopped talking halfway through her sentence, continuing to eat her breakfast.
Chapter 360 Suicide?
At this time, Wang Shouyi, as usual, went to see his old friend Dr. Zhuo for a follow-up examination.
He lay face down on the bed in Dr. Zhuo's consultation room. Dr. Zhuo, who was about his age, was skillfully massaging his lower back.
As Dr. Zhuo moved, Wang Shouyi lay on the recliner, letting out a comfortable groan.
Dr. Zhuo massaged his lower back a few times, then patted his back.
"Alright, get up. You don't have any other problems, it's just that the machine is old and you've overworked yourself. Your spine has lost its curve."
Listen to me, work is never-ending, but your health is your most valuable asset; you need to learn how to take care of it.
Come to our physiotherapy department every day for treatment to protect your back; you have a long life ahead of you.”
Wang Shouyi got up and straightened his clothes.
"Dr. Zhuo, you really don't know how to talk when you're not in the same boat. You come for physiotherapy every day, but when do I have the time?"
There's always a lot going on in our Jiulihe area, and recently we finally got a few new people assigned here.
Apart from one that was particularly easy to manage, the rest were not so easy to manage.
Did you see yesterday's trending topic in the city? It was about one of my new employees who had a conflict with his father and they ended up shoving each other in the street.
Dr. Zhuo said with a smile,
