Chapter 31: Her Feelings Quivered

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, Su Jing sat at her desk daydreaming. Her mind was a mess. Qin Feng’s threats and Gu Jue’s potential confession kept echoing in her mind.

Why did she say that it was a potential confession? It was because after Gu Jue kissed her at the hotel yesterday and said those ambiguous words, he did not mention a word when they returned home.

Gu Jue said he would help her forget about Qin Feng, but he did not tell if they were currently in a relationship.

Su Jing was in a mess, but she was too embarrassed to ask Gu Jue. If Gu Jue simply wanted to help her and not be her boyfriend, she would be embarrassed if she asked him.

But he kissed her! It didn’t seem like something normal friends would do, right?

“Ah!” Su Jing scratched her head in annoyance. She scratched her head so hard that her hair turned messy.

She felt like a failure. How could she be so affected by a kid? It was her fault for being single for over 20 years in the real world. She was never good at dealing with romance. 

Just as Su Jing was feeling frustrated, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her desk.

Su Jing lifted her head and saw Lin Yi in a white dress. Lin Yi’s face was a little pale, but she didn’t seem too affected by what happened yesterday.

“Thank you. Qin Feng told me everything. Although, because of your past records, I don’t trust you completely. In any case, if you didn’t inform Qin Feng, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk to you today. So, I owe you my gratitude.” Lin Yi bowed to Su Jing and thanked her sincerely.

Su Jing helped Lin Yi up. Lin Yi was more reasonable than Qin Feng, who was forcing her to admit something she did not do.

Su Jing said, “It’s fine. I understand what you’re thinking. I didn’t expect Fang Ke to kidnap you just to please me. Actually, this still had something to do with me. I should apologize to you.”

Lin Yi stopped her from apologizing, “There’s no need for that. The police haven’t investigated the matter properly. If you really didn’t do it, there’s no need for you to apologize. Let’s have dinner tonight. I want to thank you properly.”

Lin Yi was good-looking, capable, and kind-hearted. Most importantly, she was sensible and reasonable. She wasn’t like Qin Feng, who was stubborn and relentless. No wonder she could be the female lead in the novel. 

Su Jing’s impression of Lin Yi improved significantly. Just as she was about to agree to Lin Yi’s invitation, the hostile Qin Feng appeared behind Lin Yi.

Qin Feng pulled Lin Yi behind him and said to Su Jing bitterly, “You stay away from Lin Yi!”

Qin Feng’s voice was a little loud and attracted the attention of the surrounding colleagues.

Lin Yi tugged on Qin Feng’s sleeve and scolded him in a low voice, “Qin Feng, we aren’t even sure that Su Jing did it. Can you not be so reckless?”

Qin Feng held onto Lin Yi’s shoulders and advised her with a frown, “Lin Yi, don’t waste your kindness in the wrong place. This woman is vicious. Do you think she’s a good person? She might be plotting against you!”

“People change. Maybe she really has changed.” Lin Yi didn’t quite agree with Qin Feng.

While the two were arguing, Su Jing heard people whispering behind their backs…

“What’s going on?”

“Haven’t you heard? Yesterday, Miss Lin was kidnapped by three men and went to the Forest Hotel. The three men and one woman went to the hotel. What else could it be? They must be trying to rape her.”

“Ah! It’s so scary. Doesn’t that mean that Miss Lin…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. President Qin arrived in time yesterday and saved her. She wasn’t hurt, but I heard that Su Jing was also at the scene yesterday. I think this incident has something to do with Su Jing.”

“Needless to say, only a vicious woman like Su Jing would do something like this.”

“Hey, how do you know so much?”

“My boyfriend worked at the Public Security Bureau. He was the one who interrogated the three kidnappers yesterday.”

Su Jing clenched her fists in anger. It was one thing for Qin Feng to suspect her, but now he was here to ruin her reputation in public?

Although, it was not like the original Su Jing had any good reputation. Nonetheless, Su Jing could not stand this humiliation.. She had to clear her name!
