"Did I co at the wrong ti?" Suyin asked Hong, pointing at the two n.
"Yes, and I’m thankful for that. I needed a break from these two." Fei Hong eyed the two sternly, noticing the nervousness on Zhao Zeng’s face as he tried to look anywhere but at Suyin. He didn’t want Suyin to question the swelling on his face.
Even Junjie pursed his lips. He was involved in a physical fight with Zeng upon knowing it was on Zeng’s invite that Fei Hong sneaked out.
"Suyin, Howz Honey?"
"Absolutely fine." Suyin took the only empty seat and waved. "I’m here to congratulate you. It takes the courage to do that. You’ve beco an inspiration and many won have co forward, talking about their abuse and how their voice was suppressed by the influential businessman and politicians."
Fei Hong blinked, "Really?"
"Yup. The ministry has received many complaints and requests asking for support. We are going to help them."
Fei Hong’s smile widened, this was exactly she wanted to achieve. Even if a single woman talks about her abuse, all the pain and humiliation she had been through was worth it. "It couldn’t have been possible without this particular monkey who ca at the right ti to save --" Junjie’s expression softened, Zeng clenched his fist in nervousness, "--and your brother."
It was Suyin’s turn to get surprised.
"When my confidence was at the lowest, he motivated . We were strangers, and his words worked like the necessary push I needed." That was what got Zeng’s stiff muscles to loosen up. He glanced at Fei Hong in question, but the later didn’t look at him. He saw her pressing Junjie’s palm, who was obviously upset for hiding the truth.
"Ge, what happened to your face?"
Damn! Suyin saw it. He shouldn’t have raised his head.
Suyin held Zhao Zeng’s face in her hands to check his injury. She pressed the swollen and discoloured skin, "Does this hurt?"
"Not much," Zeng’s didn’t even dare to move a muscle. What if she withdraws? This little sister appears cold from outside, but she still cares for him within. Forever tied by blood!
"You didn’t tell , how did it happen?"
"I-I...."
"It was Tong Po’s n. He was with Junjie when they co to help ." Fei Hong answered. It was not a lie either, just half-truth. Zhao Zeng had rushed to help her, but Feng Junjie was a few minutes faster.
Zhao Zeng noticed a tinge of satisfaction on Suyin’s face. Was she proud? Happy?
He saw her writing sothing on a paper, "Massage with ice twice a day and use this ointnt before sleep." sothing hit him inside. Gosh, he missed this care. However, it hurt him thinking it was all because of a lie.
After Suyin left, Feng Junjie stood up and shut the door with a loud bang. "Explain,"
"Hold on," Fei Hong said and then shifted her attention to Zhao Zeng. "This doesn’t an I’m not upset. I just didn’t want to hurt Suyin by telling the truth."
Zhao Zeng was tongue-tied. He was ashad and scared, what if things would have turned worse? This ti he barely avoided it by an inch.
"Zeng, I know you are a responsible man. But why didn’t you turn up? You didn’t even reply to my ssages."
"Responsible? From where he looks like a responsible man?" Junjie spoke up, he was still pissed off by the incident. Angry at both. Hong lied to him to go on a lunch date with Zeng. Does she see him as inferior, and this was important for him to know.
"Junjie, please. Let talk to him."
"What is there to talk? He did the sa with her own sister."
"At least he’s trying to fix things again. Accepting mistakes and making efforts are sothing not everyone can do. Nevertheless, we don’t even know the entire truth. So it’s better to keep our judgent with us." Fei Hong was irritated, it made her feel as if Junjie was being unreasonable. Yes, they were friends, but he doesn’t own her. "Besides, can you tell what did you do with those three? I know they are not with cops."
Knowing Junjie’s anger, he must have taken the three sowhere to punish them.
Thanks to Xiu i, she stopped the live broadcast before Junjie ca. Though nobody knew that Feng Junjie saved her, the entire nation saw the first part of the video. If the news broke out that the three are not under custody, the situation would beco out of control.
"You don’t have to worry about them. I’ve already inford the chief of police, they will be handed over without a limb missing." He was yet to fulfil his promise of pasting their pen*s on their head. Though it’s not possible, he had planned sothing sinister.
The evil glint in Junjie’s eyes didn’t go unnoticed. "Let cops handle everything. Stop being childish."
Scoffed, "I’m being childish? He-" Junjie pointed at Zeng who was standing with head hung low, "-- he’s not irresponsible when he called you out for lunch and didn’t turn up. But I’m childish in your eyes if I want to teach that bastar*d a lesson for harassing a woman. Isn’t it a double standard?"
Zeng, "Guys, please don’t fight because of . I know it was my mistake--"
Junjie, "SHUT UP. No one’s talking to you. It’s in between and her."
"JUNJIE," Fei Hong couldn’t control herself and tossed a pillow at Junjie which hit him on the face. "Grow up, you child-man. Stop behaving as if you own . I’m really thankful that you ca to help that day, but can you please stop accusing Zeng. Even if he had turned up on ti, I’m sure Tong Po’s man would have had looked for another way to trap . Besides, I could have turned down his offer, he didn’t force to co out."
"And.... I’m not siding with him, it’s just he’s trying hard to fix things between him and Suyin. But what you are doing is wrong. If the news broke out that Tong Po is with you, it will affect everyone’s reputation. From Xiu i to brother Jianyu to brother Wang Shi, and most importantly yours. I can’t let my best friend dirty his hands because of ."
"I like you."
"Please try to--" Fei Hong paused, "Wait, what did you just say?"
Junjie clenched his fists, "For God’s sake, Fei Hong, I like you. I’m not doing everything as your best friend but because I like you and can’t see my woman being wronged by anyone. Instead, I’ll turn that person to ash if soone dares to hurt you."
