Chapter 613

"Heh, not really. A small Construction Commission Director isn't worth me getting that angry," Su Qing said with a disdainful chuckle.

"I think Director Zheng also drank a lot of wine just now, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to bare his fangs and act wild in front of you, Cousin Su. Those men just now were scared pale after seeing your work ID and dragged Director Zheng away in a panic," Zhao Desan flattered Su Qing.

These words made Su Qing feel very satisfied. Thinking of how everyone suddenly quieted down after she showed her work ID, and how those men from the Construction Commission were scared green, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She blinked and smiled, saying, "But Xiao Zhao, you're quite bold too. You even dare to provoke the head of the unit you're about to join. Aren't you afraid they'll give you trouble after you go to the Construction Commission?"

"I... I didn't recognize him at first. Besides... besides, what happened just now was caused by his fault in the first place," Zhao Desan explained stubbornly, though in his heart he was worried about Su Qing's words. Even if Director Zheng was at fault first, he hadn't been in a weak position in terms of momentum just now in order to perform in front of Su Qing; he had been toe-to-toe with Director Zheng, neither giving an inch.

"Even if you didn't recognize him, and even if it was their fault, there were so many of them surrounding you at the time. You didn't dodge, but stood there stubbornly as if you were going to get tough with them. Why were you acting so tough? Aren't you afraid of suffering?" Su Qing looked at his stubborn expression, a bit puzzled as to why he had to bite the bullet in such a situation just now.

"I... I was afraid you would get implicated, Cousin Su. I... I won't allow others to bully you. Whoever dares to bully you, no matter who they are, I'll fight them!" When saying these words, Zhao Desan stared into Su Qing's eyes with a piercing gaze. His righteous appearance made Su Qing believe his words without a doubt. At the same time, she felt that he, who was usually humorous, had suddenly become so serious, which felt a bit silly. Thinking of how he had pushed her behind him to protect her just now without any fear, and was ready to get tough with the other party, that subtle action, when recalled carefully now, made her feel something in her heart. A warm current surged from the bottom of her lonely heart, and her beautiful, watery eyes couldn't help but feel sore. Soon, a layer of crystal-clear water shimmered on her bright, dark pupils.
