t this point, his shame was beyond compare!Xiaoxin thinks Zhuo will explode immediately because it's really disgusting, such an expensive pair of pants!Xu's mother also seemed terrified. She had both...The scene she feared most had arrived, like a farce. She watched her world crumble before her eyes.

At that moment, the man saw him, stopped struggling, and smiled in a creepy way. He had lost one million, but if she was the murderer, the court would award him substantial damages, as someone had told him.

Song Jingye also looked over at the same time. He took the banner in his hand faster, put it away, and strode towards her, wanting to hug her. She seemed to tremble so badly she couldn't stand steady.

But Chen Ning stepped back, feeling dirty, very dirty. Especially when she saw the white banner he was clutching tightly.

Song Jingye's hand fell empty as he reached for her. He frowned and looked at her, his eyes filled with nothing but concern. He didn't show the slightest bit of resentment towards the banner or the man's commotion.

But Chen Ning still maintained a certain distance from him. In his brilliance, she was reduced to her original form and lacked the courage to approach him.

The man was escorted away by guards.

At this moment, a man rushed out of the office building. It was Mr. Zhang's secretary. He ran across the square to the door and shouted to her who was standing by the roadside: "Chen Ling, come back, Mr. Zhang wants to see you."

She walked toward her workplace, and Song Jingye reached out to grab her arm: “I’ll go in with you.”

She wanted to shake his hand away: "I'm fine, go do your thing."

Song Jingye still held onto her arm tightly, this time very firmly, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

His eyes, more serious than she had ever seen them, looked at her. "Go inside and don't say anything," he said, his voice low, "not a single word."

Tears welled up in Chen Ning's eyes. He would protect her unconditionally, no matter what the truth was.

Seeing that she didn't answer, he grabbed her arm and tightened his grip: "Do you understand Answer me."

She nodded. "I won't say anything."

Only then did he let go of her.

Things couldn't get worse, after the shoe landed, she was surprisingly calm. She wasn't a weak person to begin with, when faced with difficulties, she bravely moved forward.

So, when she stood before Teacher Zhang, she was back to normal.

Chapter teacher was calmer than she expected. After asking her to sit down, he got straight to the point: "I need to know the truth."

When she joined their company, Chen Ling underwent a rigorous political review. Her family background was simple. She grew up with her aunt and uncle after being raised by them since childhood. She came from an ordinary working-class family. Although she had been abducted, it wasn't her fault and didn't affect the outcome of the review.

But if the commotion at the door just now, whether true or false, is linked to a murderer, not only will her future be ruined, but it will also bring shame to the unit, nailing it to the pillar of disgrace.

Teacher Zhang looked at her intently. Ever since he took her to the National Construction Museum, he had sensed that this girl possessed a courage and tenacity that most girls lacked. He admired her greatly, especially after she performed exceptionally well during the overseas rescue mission and the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Xili country. She was the only promising young talent that Teacher Zhang had been nurturing in recent years.

That's precisely why he would be heartbroken if she truly had done something wrong.

Chen Ning had calmed down now, thinking about what Song Jingye had just said. She lightly answered: "That man from before, he was the one who sold me when I was kidnapped years ago." This was common knowledge, so she could say it.

"Did he buy this for you" asked Teacher Zhang.

"No, he's the eldest son of that family. The third son bought me."

"The third brother Is he his younger brother He said his younger brother died"

"I don't know, I had already run away at that time." She wasn't lying; she was on the run then.

Chapter Teacher glanced at her hands that were unconsciously twisting, his expression serious: "Did you know he was dead when you ran away Or when did you find out he had died"

His words became sharp, Chen Ning didn't answer again. She didn't want to lie to Teacher Zhang, but as Song Jingye said, she couldn't say anything.

Her mind went blank when she was asked.

Zhang Lao Shi: “If you tell me the process in detail now, I might still be able to find a way or come up with something to help you. If you don't trust me and they ask upstairs, there's nothing I can do.”

He was leading her to reveal the truth, but Chen Ling still remained silent. At this moment, she couldn't trust anyone.

If she had to choose someone to trust, it had to be Song Jingye unconditionally, so there was nothing she could say.

Even if she didn't say it out loud, Teacher Zhang could already read her distress from her expression. His face immediately turned grim. No matter the reason, when human lives were involved, nothing was trivial.

"Just go back for now. You don't need to come to work these few days." Teacher Zhang waved his hand, speechless.

Chen Ling returned from Mr. Zhang's office and saw Xu Haichen standing in the corridor, looking at her with concern. She shook her head at him, saying it was nothing.

Taking a few more steps forward, she saw Tao Kaiyan standing there watching her as well. There was guilt in his eyes. Chen Ning stopped and met his gaze, without hostility. Even at this moment, she didn't believe that Tao Kaiyan was involved with the man.

Tao Kaiyan avoided her gaze, "I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this."

Having said that, she hurried away.

This is probably the most sincere thing Tao Kaiyan has ever said to her.

As soon as she stepped out of the company gate, she saw Song Jingye's car parked in the temporary parking lot. He was standing beside his car, looking at her, waiting for her, just like countless times before. His eyes were very calm.

Chen Ning took a deep breath and bravely faced him.

"Let's go home first." He opened the passenger door and said nothing.

Actually, after getting in the car, she realized that Song Jingye wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface. He usually drove very steadily, but this time, every time they encountered a red light, he braked harder than before.

Chen Ning didn't know why, at this moment of all moments, she was focusing on these trivial matters.

Probably, the inner turmoil has subsided to a point of "what's done is done," and there's nothing left to lose.

As soon as they arrived, she saw his mother standing at the doorstep. Her usually kind face was icy cold as she watched them get out of the car.

"How did you get here" Song Jingye asked with a sullen face.

"I told you to go back, will you go back" Song's mother said, her voice icy cold. She didn't look at Chen Ning once throughout the entire conversation.

Song Jingye didn't want to invite her in. At this juncture, he had to talk things through with Chen Ning first.

But Song's mother didn't give him a chance: "Go in and say it, are you not embarrassed enough"

Song Jingye didn't open the door, but Chen Ling stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate to let her in.

What comes will come, she was mentally prepared for it.

Three people sat in the living room, all silent at first.

It's one thing to be mentally prepared, but actually saying it out loud, especially in front of Song Jingye and his mother, takes a tremendous amount of courage.

Before she spoke, she stated: “I’m sorry to have worried you. Whatever happened, I will take responsibility for my part.”n joked, "Young Master Lu treats beauties so differently." 。You've had so many people come over to toast you, but I haven't seen you take a single sip. 。"That's not the same at all. I'll have plenty o...
