Chapter 24: Doing Something Stupid

The people in line thought Su Qingyue was hit by the blow just now, "President, the little girl is so pitiful, approve her leave."

President Zhang sighed, "You handle your own affairs first, come back early."

Su Qingyue smiled, lifted her dress, stepped over the threshold, and went to chase Pei Huaiye.

Jiang Meng's calculation failed, which was very unpleasant. She followed President Zhang to the office to report on work and told him about Su Qingyue miscalculating the account again.

"President Zhang, don't blame Su Qingyue, she definitely didn't do it on purpose. She has outstanding ability, and occasionally making mistakes is actually nothing."

"What do you mean making mistakes is nothing! The things in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative are allocated according to plan, and every penny relates to the lives of the masses! Our Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative is already less efficient than the Shengli Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If employees are not serious and responsible, what will happen if customers don't come in the future? You go out first, I'll talk to Su Qingyue when she comes to work!"

Jiang Meng hid the smugness in her eyes and politely closed the office door.

Yuan Guang kept looking at the rearview mirror, "Colonel, Comrade Su is still chasing behind the car."

Pei Huaiye had already seen the running Su Qingyue in the rearview mirror. He tightened his face with cold eyes, "Stop the car!"

Pei Huaiye got out of the car and walked toward Su Qingyue.

He wanted to see what exactly this woman wanted to do!

Halfway there, a young man wearing a black Zhongshan suit walked out of another Jeep.

He was handsome and tall, looking about twenty years old.

He waved and ran to Su Qingyue with a smile, and even reached out to pinch her face.

Su Qingyue stopped, gave the man a brilliant smile, and then got into the car with him.

Pei Huaiye's breath hitched, and he almost bit his back teeth off. His cold eyes were full of disbelief.

Shen Xunbao was her fiancé, then who was this man?!

Pei Huaiye opened the car door with a cold gaze, his voice ice-cold without a trace of temperature, "See where they are going? Follow them!"

The atmosphere in the Jeep became increasingly gloomy. Yuan Guang didn't dare to breathe loudly. He peeked at Pei Huaiye several times, but was still discovered by the other party.

"If you can't drive, get out!"

A minute later, Yuan Guang rolled out of the car and sat in the passenger seat. Pei Huaiye sat in the driver's seat, immediately turned around, and returned to the police station.

Yuan Guang bit his lip, not daring to let himself laugh out loud.

Su Qingyue didn't expect Pei Huaiye to be so cold and heartless; he didn't even give her a chance to explain.

For a moment, her chest felt stifled and uncomfortable, and her eyes turned red.

"Comrade Su, do you understand what I mean?"

Officer Liu asked a few times before she came back to her senses, "Ah? Oh, I'm sorry, please say it again."

"Since Zhang Jun did not cause you substantial harm, it cannot constitute a criminal case. For the public security penalty, we will conduct criticism, education, fines, and detention for Zhang Jun."

"The detention time will have to wait until the case is tried before there is a judgment result."

"At the same time, his factory will also demote him."

"However, his family members have applied for civil mediation, and we want to ask about your wishes."

Su Qingyue's eyes were firm, "I don't want civil mediation. Punish him however he should be punished!"

"Okay, we respect your wishes."

Su Qingyue asked again, "How will Su Qianqian and Zhou Wenfang be handled?"

Liu Qiang repeated what he said to Pei Huaiye, "It will be these two or three days. We will notify you when there is a result."

Su Qingyue thanked him and rushed back to the cooperative to write the self-criticism.

Chen Yan had already left, so she had no choice but to put the self-criticism into the drawer.

"Jiang Meng, you've worked hard on duty, I'm going back first."

Jiang Meng smiled, "It's my duty."

Summer days were long, and it happened to be summer vacation, so the demand from the masses was strong. The Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative extended its closing time, and the salespeople took turns on duty for one hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

After Su Qingyue left, Jiang Meng's face sank. She pulled open Su Qingyue's drawer and took out the self-criticism letter. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

"Dad and Mom's guilt toward her outweighs everything, especially Dad..."

Su Qingyue trembled all over, her face pale; she gave a self-deprecating smile as tears rolled down.

"So, even if Su Qianqian hurts me time and time again, you will all protect her, is that it?!"

"Qingyue, Second Brother will discipline her on behalf of Mom and Dad, and I guarantee she won't target you again in the future."

Su Qingyue felt a tightness in her chest and said with difficulty, "How does Second Brother plan to discipline her?"

Su Yuan comforted her: "Qingyue, I will make Qianqian apologize to you and live in harmony with you from now on. Losing her spot to return to the city is already the greatest punishment for her!

These are the money and coupons Mom and Dad gave you; there is one thousand yuan and five hundred jin of grain coupons. Your birthday is coming up, so take them and buy yourself something you like."

Su Qingyue pulled her hand back, her tone extremely cold.

"Thank you, no need. I work at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and have a salary to support myself. I already told you last time not to send me money and coupons anymore. I will slowly repay the debt of being raised by the Su family!"

Seeing Su Qingyue so resolute, Su Yuan was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

He had been shocked when he saw the telegram in the Capital, and the whole family did not believe Su Qianqian was that kind of vicious person.

Furthermore, she had gone to the countryside in place of her two brothers, and she was the biological daughter Su Weixin had finally managed to find.

Su Weixin immediately sent several telegrams and instructed Su Yuan to make the trip personally to ensure Su Qianqian walked out of the police station unscathed.

As a punishment, her return to the city would be delayed by one year.

But in front of Su Qingyue, Su Yuan dared not say this; he deliberately said that Mom and Dad were punishing Su Qianqian by making her lose her spot to return to the city, hoping to make Su Qingyue feel a little better.

But this time, Su Qingyue was still hurt.

Su Qingyue suppressed the disappointment in her heart.

"Second Brother, I have things to do, I'm leaving first."

Su Yuan pleaded: "Qingyue, I've been traveling all day and I'm still hungry. Can you keep Second Brother company for a meal?"

Su Qingyue stopped in her tracks, "I don't have time, Second Brother should go find Su Qianqian instead!"

Su Qingyue walked out of the guesthouse with unsteady steps, tears falling down her soft cheeks like beads from a broken string.

That's right, Su Qianqian was, after all, the Su family's biological daughter, and Su Yuan's own younger sister.

So what could she possibly do to her?

Her nose was red from crying, and she stumbled along the wall, the loose hair at her temples blown about by the wind, as if she would be blown away if the wind were any stronger.

Watching Su Qingyue cry so sorrowfully, Pei Huaiye's heart suddenly tightened, as if someone had gripped it, leaving him unable to breathe.

With a face full of murderous intent, he pulled open the car door and chased after her with long strides.

Su Qingyue did not know where to go, and only stopped when she reached a bridge.

Veins bulged on Pei Huaiye's face; he thought of the man at the guesthouse, and thought of Su Qingyue leaving in tears and coming to the bridge.

He suddenly quickened his pace, rushed up, and pulled Su Qingyue into his arms.

"What foolish thing are you doing!?"

Following this stern roar, a flash of surprise crossed Su Qingyue's face as she raised her eyes, but she immediately pursed her small mouth again.

Like a tired bird returning to its nest, she threw herself into Pei Huaiye's arms and burst into aggrieved sobs.

One hundred meters behind them, Su Yuan, who had been tailing the two, ran up panting for breath.

Pointing at Pei Huaiye's hands resting on Su Qingyue's waist, he shouted to the surroundings: "Comrades, help me catch a hooligan!"
