Chapter 249: Unwelcome

He heard Geng Jing Shu's father's voice coming from over there.

After opening the door, the two merely glanced at each other.

"Uncle, where is Jing Shu?"

Xiao Ming was actually more relaxed, and simply pretended that the previous incident had never happened.

"Oh, Jing Shu, Jing Shu is upstairs? Why did you come over today?"

Since the other party didn't mention yesterday's incident, Geng Tianhua naturally wouldn't bring it up again.

After all, his daughter was at fault first, so he still felt a sense of guilt.

"Oh, at the company, nothing much—I just came over to see Jing Shu."

"Alright, please come in."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, and finally Xiao Yunzhe walked straight in.

"Well, what wind blows the Young Master of the Xiao family here?"

Just after entering the living room, that sarcastic voice came from over there again.

Xiao Yunzhe didn't even need to look to know it was definitely Sun Xuehua.

Previously, Sun Xuehua had always acted this way toward me.

But I never expected that after so much time had passed, he still hadn't changed at all.

"Auntie, I just came to see Jing Shu."

"If you really came just to see Jing Shu, I'd be more welcoming, but what if you're only bringing other problems?"

"What are you doing? The kid just came to see Jing Shu—go upstairs, Jing Shu is up there."

Geng Tianhua, standing behind him, hurried forward and said.

Sun Xuehua wanted to keep talking, but Geng Tianhua just pulled her.

Looking at Xiao Yunzhe, he headed straight up to Er Lou.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean? What should I do? Are we supposed to line up to welcome him here? Don't forget how he treated Jing Shu yesterday."

"Well, that's also because Jing Shu was at fault first—don't you understand? Wasn't it made clear yesterday?"

"You're just trying to pin the blame on yourself. I want to ask—does he have any evidence? If he doesn't, why do we have to be so petty?"

Sun Xuehua retorted.

After hearing that, Geng Tianhua just stared blankly.

"Exactly, he has no real evidence for this matter, so why put such a hat on his own daughter?"

"If it weren't for Sun Xuehua reminding me, I might really have overlooked this."

When Xiao Yunzhe reached outside the room, he just took a deep breath.

Between me and Geng Jing Shu, we've had feelings for many years; seeing each other and exchanging a few words should be quite ordinary.

But for some reason, he now doesn't want to face Geng Jing Shu, and when he does, he doesn't know what to say.

He lightly knocked on the door, and he clearly heard Geng Jing Shu respond from inside.

Then he pushed the door open and entered.

At that moment, Geng Jing Shu was lying on the bed, holding a tablet and looking at something on it.

When she saw the visitor was him, Geng Jing Shu suddenly put the tablet aside and flopped back onto the bed, panting.

She even pulled the covers over her head, as if she didn't want to face him at all.

"What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

"Go away—I don't want to see you."

"Heh, why bother? It's all in the past—come on, I have something to tell you."

"Say, what is it?"

When Geng Jing Shu heard that, she suddenly became a bit nervous.

She threw off the covers, sat up on the bed, and stared sternly at Xiao Yunzhe as she asked.

"Nothing much—I just suddenly thought of something, so I hurried over to ask you."

"Xiao Yunzhe, what do you mean? Are you here to see me, or to question me? If you're here to see me, you've already seen me—you can leave. If you're here to question me, sorry, I have nothing to say."

"I haven't even asked you yet—why such a big reaction?"

"What? Am I not allowed to have such a reaction? Can't I have my own temper? Don't think that because you're rich and well-connected, I should be afraid of you."

"Heh, I don't mean that—I just wanted to ask if you still remember the diamond earrings I gave you two years ago."

"I remember—wasn't it my birthday then? Are you regretting it now and want them back?"

"No, I don't mean that—I just noticed you haven't worn them in a long time, and I wanted to ask where they are now."

"Oh, I'm not wearing them because I lost one, and I haven't had a chance to tell you."

"You, what did you say? You lost one? How could that happen?"

"I'm not sure either—these things just hang on your ears; who knows when they might fall off?"

After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe seemed to understand something.

He just gave a slight nod.

"Then when did you lose it?"

"I can't recall—probably about half a year ago, maybe even longer. Why are you suddenly asking about this now?"

"It's nothing—I just happened to see a diamond earring yesterday that looked just like yours, so I came to ask you."

"What? You saw it—is it somewhere in the house?"

"If it had fallen inside the house, maybe it could be explained more easily, but the key point is that it wasn't found inside the house."

"Well, where are you?"

After saying this, Geng Jing Shu seemed to suddenly become nervous.

Because of this diamond earring, he himself really couldn't figure out where it had fallen.

At that time, because his impression was very deep, when he got drunk that night, he actually had this pair of diamond earrings hanging on his ears.

Unfortunately, he lost one earring the next day, but at that time he didn't think much about it, and gradually forgot about it.

If it weren't for Xiao Yunzhe bringing this up again today here, perhaps he would have completely forgotten.

"Come, take a look at this— is this earring yours?"
