Chapter 501: What Level Are You to Pursue Qu Tuotuo?

~4 min read 792 words

"No, don't think wild things."

Qu Wannian comforted her, saying:

"If something really happened to him, even if he didn't tell us, he would notify his family. Didn't you just go to his house yesterday?"

He also thought Yu Dazhang had met with trouble, but he couldn't say that to his daughter.

They say a family must have a backbone.

No matter what happens, someone has to hold the line.

Actually, Qu Wannian was under great pressure too.

After all, news of the children's relationship had spread throughout the circle, and now that Yu Dazhang was missing, rumors had long been circulating.

People said all sorts of things; some even spread rumors that Yu Dazhang had dumped Qu Tuotuo.

That wasn't even the most headache-inducing part.

What was more deadly was that someone had started pursuing Qu Tuotuo again, and increasingly openly.

If things continued like this, the truth would become impossible to clarify.

Seeing his daughter's worried face, Qu Wannian couldn't help but ask:

"What did you two argue about back then?"

He had never asked before, thinking the two of them could handle it themselves.

But now he had no choice but to ask; the matter had become increasingly complicated.

"He, he..."

Qu Tuotuo hesitated, her eyes darting away, as if she didn't know how to say it.

"Did someone pursuing you get seen by him?"

Seeing his daughter's difficulty in speaking, Qu Wannian filled in the blanks himself.

"No." Qu Tuotuo shook her head and said in a low voice:

"Actually, it was the opposite. He was entangled with another woman, and I discovered it."

This matter was indeed hard to speak of; she felt extremely ashamed. She couldn't tell anyone else.

"What?!" Qu Wannian slammed the table and stood up:

"He did something unforgivable to you!"

He never expected the two of them to have argued over this reason, so much so that he trembled with anger all over:

"That kid, fat as he is, still has a wandering heart."

Just as he was about to continue scolding, Qu Wannian suddenly realized something was off.

"That shouldn't be right. He's a police officer, and besides, he doesn't seem like someone who would mess around."

Ever since his daughter started dating, he had always had a good impression of Yu Dazhang; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to their relationship.

Qu Wannian turned his gaze back to his daughter and asked:

"Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

There was definitely a misunderstanding. Qu Tuotuo had thought about it carefully later; she had indeed been impulsive in this matter.

Moreover, Yu Dazhang had been explaining things to her, but at the time she was in a rage and couldn't listen to anything else.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not doesn't matter anymore."

Qu Tuotuo lifted her head blankly:

"Now I only hope he is safe and sound."

Back in her own office, she spent the entire afternoon in a daze.

Now not only did she think Yu Dazhang had met with trouble, but even his parents were thinking along those lines.

Yesterday at his house, Li Xuehe was so anxious she was almost crying. In front of Qu Tuotuo, she scolded Yu Guangyuan, blaming him for why he had let his son attend the police academy in the first place.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Qu Tuotuo, Burdened with worries, walked out of the group building.

Just as she stepped out the main gate, a bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes, followed by a remarkably handsome face.

"Tuotuo, I know you haven't been in a good mood lately, so I specially picked colorful roses for you." The man spoke gently with a smile on his face.

His name was Bai Jincheng, from a prominent family, and he had always had feelings for Qu Tuotuo.

It wasn't until the Qu family publicly announced that Qu Tuotuo was spoken for that he gave up his pursuit.

But recently, he heard that her relationship status seemed to have undergone some changes, so the dormant hope in his heart reignited.

For the past half month, he had almost come every day to the company entrance to wait for Qu Tuotuo to get off work.

Giving flowers, inviting her out, sweet talk...

He was playing the game of relentless pestering.

But Qu Tuotuo remained unmoved, not even giving him a single pleasant look.

"I've said it before, I hate flowers."

Qu Tuotuo glanced coldly at the roses before her, then looked at Bai Jincheng again:

"Our two families have always had a good relationship, so I've been very polite to you. Please do not come here again in the future."

Her tone carried a hint of warning, but more than that, it held disgust.
