Chapter 59 Offering a warm face to a cold backside
Jiang Lili noticed Ji Tingxiao staring intently at the interaction between the two and sneered, "Jiang Moche is here, and she hasn't said a word to you. Still watching!"
Ji Tingxiao snapped, "Shut up!"
Jiang Lili was frightened by his fierce appearance, shrank her shoulders, and retorted in a low voice, "Why are you being so fierce? I'm just stating the facts. You're just trying to win people over. They don't even want to talk to you."
Ji Tingxiao snorted coldly and returned to Luo Yusheng's side with a gloomy face.
Apart from the victims, the rest of the people only needed to give a brief statement and then leave.
Seeing that Ji Tingxiao was about to leave with Luo Yusheng, Song Qianqian called out to him.
He paused, looked at her red, tear-filled eyes, gave her a reassuring look, and then followed Luo Yusheng.
Hearing the noise, Luo Yusheng turned around and saw it was him. She stopped and asked, "Is what Manager Liu said just now true?"
Ji Tingxiao's heart sank; he was afraid that she would become suspicious because of this.
He vehemently denied it: "I don't know any manager at all."
"Luo Yusheng, you have to believe me."
He was eager to find evidence of her trust in his expression.
But she just nodded indifferently and turned to get into Jiang Moche's car.
Does this mean they don't trust him?
Ji Tingxiao panicked and grabbed her, saying, "I'll take you home."
The nausea from the physical contact was unbearable for Luo Yusheng. She shook off his hand, her expression even colder: "It's getting late. Take the bus home by yourself."
After Luo Yusheng got into the car, Ji Tingxiao wanted to say something, but Jiang Moche closed the car door, stopping him from speaking.
Ji Tingxiao frowned, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at him.
On the way back, the car was unusually quiet.
Luo Yusheng turned her head to look out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Moche hesitated, wanting to ask some questions.
Only when the car stopped at the Luo family's house did he realize that if he didn't ask now, he would miss the opportunity, so he spoke: "Manager Liu explained everything very clearly, but Ji Tingxiao denied it. Do you really believe him?"
Luo Yusheng shook her head: "Of course I don't believe it, I have solid evidence."
He asked in confusion, "Then why...?"
She knew he meant that she hadn't directly questioned Ji Tingxiao, and smiled: "According to Manager Liu, they had agreed to deliver the goods, but Ji Tingxiao didn't show up."
"I suspect he knew we were going to arrest someone tonight, and that's why he didn't show up."
She recalled the last time she asked a classmate to help record a conversation: "They hadn't even talked about anything yet when Ji Tingxiao was in a hurry to leave."
“He called me several times before he left, and that’s when I knew something was wrong.”
Jiang Moche understood what she meant: "You suspect that the person who tipped him off is inside the Luo family? Then why not start by investigating the person who conducted the investigation?"
Luo Yusheng affirmed his suggestion: "Although this matter is quite big, it only involves a few people, so it's easy to investigate. But I'm worried that person might not be within the scope of the investigation."
"When I first found out that Manager Liu was reselling orders, I suggested to my dad that we take away some of his customers. This is no small thing; anyone with ulterior motives would know."
Jiang Moche continued her question: "Are you worried that there are even more elusive people hiding?"
She nodded. Manager Liu alone shouldn't be enough to bankrupt the Luo family; there must be others involved.
We need to find all those people, otherwise the tragedy of the previous life will repeat itself.
Jiang Moche watched as she analyzed the matter clearly and logically.
She seems to have matured a lot.
Was it because the crisis forced her to grow up?
The next day, as soon as Luo Yusheng arrived at the school gate, she saw Ji Tingxiao walking quickly toward her: "Have you had breakfast? I brought you Mingji's xiaolongbao."
Ming Kee? They're very famous, but they have very few branches.
It's only available in a few districts, and there aren't any branches in the area where the school is located, so it seems he did it on purpose.
She looked away: "I've already eaten."
Ji Tingxiao was not discouraged and followed up: "Want to have lunch together?"
"I have something to do at noon." She didn't stop walking and didn't even glance at him as she passed the school gate.
Ji Tingxiao could tell from her perfunctory attitude, and his heart sank.
Is Luo Yusheng still suspicious of his relationship with Manager Liu, which is why she is so cold to him?
He quickly caught up with Luo Yusheng: "Let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll tutor you afterward."
"We'll see. My dad's home, and he doesn't like you coming." She refused again.
Song Qianqian saw the two at the entrance of the teaching building and quickly caught up with them.
Before she could even speak, Luo Yusheng completely ignored her, and Ji Tingxiao didn't even glance at her.
She slowed her pace, watching the two figures ascend the stairs, a surge of bitterness welling up inside her, her eyes sharpening.
That little bitch even served it up.
Luo Yusheng was unaware that her jealousy had flared up, and even if she did, she wouldn't care, nor did she have time to care.
Ji Tingxiao came to find Luo Yusheng during both breaks, either chatting about random things or giving pointers on the practice problems.
She felt annoyed and got up to go to the teacher's office as soon as the bell rang during the long break.
After she left, Song Qianqian immediately went to Ji Tingxiao. Before she could even speak, her eyes were already red: "How could you abandon me in such a critical situation yesterday!"
Ji Tingxiao was startled and looked around.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried that people would overhear them talking about these things in the classroom, and it would be bad if it reached Luo Yusheng's ears, so he pulled Song Qianqian to the stairwell.
As Song Qianqian was pulled along, she felt even more aggrieved.
“I originally wanted to intervene, but the police arrived, and I was worried that any rash actions might affect the police’s rescue of you.”
Ji Tingxiao gently coaxed her, "I'm protecting her not because I care about her, but because I'm worried that if something happens to her, her father's investigation will lead back to me."
"You know how much her father dotes on her."
Song Qianqian knew perfectly well that Luo Zhengdong's doting on Luo Yusheng had always made her jealous. If she could, she would have preferred to replace Luo Yusheng.
After hearing Ji Tingxiao's explanation, her anger subsided considerably, and she asked coquettishly, "Then when will we have to wait?"
"Give me some more time."
Ji Tingxiao first drew a picture of a cake and gave her instructions.
"Also, don't talk about these things at school, lest she hears them and it's not good for my plans."
Before Song Qianqian could agree, he spotted Luo Yusheng approaching and deliberately scolded loudly, "What's wrong with me protecting the person I love?"
Song Qianqian's surprised expression changed abruptly upon seeing Luo Yusheng, with tears welling up in her eyes, making her look very pitiful.
Seeing that they were putting on an act, Luo Yusheng immediately put on a distressed look: "How could you be so mean to her? Look, she's about to cry."
"Whether she cries or not is none of my business," Ji Tingxiao softened his tone. "I only care about what you think."
He seized the opportunity to express his loyalty: "You doubt me because of something someone else said, because I didn't do well enough before. Don't worry, I will treat you well from now on."
"I really didn't do anything to wrong you."
