Chapter 59: The Eye of the Photojournalist
That day in the courtyard of Yangrou Geda Alley, her conversation with Su Ronggui flashed through her mind, and the first person she suspected was him!
Angrily looking in his direction, she saw him nonchalantly typing on his keyboard. She wasn’t stupid. On second thought, Su Ronggui’s eagerness to stay as far away from her as possible made him unlikely to do such a thing! Then who could it be? She remembered Su Rongxing’s gaze today...
Sure enough, Su Rongxing was now looking at her with that half-smiling, half-not expression, his eyes filled with smug provocation.
She understood what was going on.
Actually at this moment, no one really noticed her, and if she made a scene with Su Rongxing now, she’d only make herself a joke. Su Rongxing wasn’t foolish either, not calling her out at this moment. After all, no one in this room was dumb. If she pointed it out, everyone would know it was Su Rongxing who did it!
Two women, one holding back anger, the other holding back delight, their gazes collided in the air, sparks flying everywhere.
Tu Hengsha was wearing a shirt, the hem originally tucked into her pants. She deftly pulled it out to cover the now awkward area and nonchalantly headed to the restroom.
Standing in front of the sink, she didn’t know what to do. No spare pants—should she wear them wet after washing? She couldn’t afford to be exposed...
This feeling wasn’t unfamiliar to her.
As a child, the neighborhood kids called her the murderer’s daughter or the madwoman’s daughter, threw stones at her, splashed dirty water on her. Her forehead was cut, her clothes soiled. As a child, she was more helpless and flustered than she was now. She wasn’t afraid of pain or filth—she was just afraid of going home for Mom to see, knowing it would make her sad. She learned to wash her own wounds and often carried a clean set of clothes in her bag. Gradually, her ability to cover and hide became more adept, and she was always able to return to Mom clean and unperturbed. Sometimes, she even managed to set a little "trap" to secretly retaliate against those nasty kids.
Still, she never expected to find herself in such an embarrassing situation again, so unprepared after all those years.
