Chapter 823

Su Xinghui said, "This letter is so funny, why wouldn't I laugh?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "You think it's funny? But I feel sad!"

Su Xinghui took her hand and held it in his palm, saying, "Don't be sad. If you're sad, I'll be even sadder."

Lu Xiaoya pulled her hand away and said, "You're afraid I'll be sad? If you were afraid I'd be sad, why would you do such a thing? Explain it to me."

Su Xinghui pulled Lu Xiaoya's hand over again, ignoring her struggle, and held it in his palm. Lu Xiaoya struggled a few times and then stopped.

Su Xinghui said softly, "Xiaoya, what should I explain? If you believe me, I naturally don't need to explain. If you don't believe me, explaining is useless. Isn't that the logic?"

Lu Xiaoya glanced at him, didn't speak, and turned her head to the side.

Su Xinghui said, "Our Xiaoya is the most beautiful, kindest, and most understanding person to me. She must trust me, right?"

Lu Xiaoya turned her head, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "If I didn't believe you, I would have done what the letter said."

Su Xinghui said, "If you did what he said, you would have fallen for his trap."

Lu Xiaoya spat, "Do you think I'm that stupid, that I would fall for someone's trap so easily?"

Su Xinghui said softly, "Xiaoya, don't you know clearly what kind of relationship I have with Xia Zhu and Sun Xuefei? Do you still believe what this letter says?"

Lu Xiaoya asked, "Then tell me, did the things mentioned in this letter happen or not?"

Su Xinghui said, "Xia Zhu has indeed been to our town government office a few times. Their bamboo weaving factory has business dealings with our town's winery. She comes to the winery to handle business each time and then stops by my place to see me. She leaves after sitting for a while each time. As for Sun Xuefei, she had looked for me a few times before, but I had gone down to the villages and didn't see her. This past Monday, she did indeed go to my place and sat for about an hour."

Lu Xiaoya said, "She sat at your place for an hour? And you didn't kick her out? Did you close the door? And what did you talk about?"

Su Xinghui said, "She closed the door as soon as she entered because it was raining that day and it was quite cold outside. It was windy when the door was open. She didn't do anything, so how could I kick her out? Wouldn't that be too impolite? We didn't talk about anything; I was just reading materials. Later, her colleagues who came to town to deliver goods called her, and she left."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Anyway, you didn't handle this well. You shouldn't close the door when you're alone in an office with a female comrade."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this was my oversight. I shouldn't have given others the opportunity to slander me. From now on, no matter who I talk to, I won't close the door, so that everyone can see what we are actually doing."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "That's more like it. Xinghui, actually, I trust your character, but seeing what the letter said so vividly, I felt sad for no reason as soon as I read it. I couldn't bear the thought of you possibly leaving me."

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, I swear to you, I will only love you alone for the rest of my life. If I do anything to let you down in this life, I will be struck by..."

Lu Xiaoya pulled her hand out of Su Xinghui's and covered Su Xinghui's mouth, preventing him from saying the rest. She said softly, "I know, I believe you, you don't need to say it!"

Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya in his arms, and the two quietly enjoyed the warmth of this moment.

After a long while, Lu Xiaoya said, "Then do you know who wrote this letter? Who hates you so much?"

Su Xinghui said, "Who wrote this letter is no longer important. If I go to investigate, it will only cause a stir, and it might not even be found out. Even if it is found out, so what? He hasn't committed any major crime."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then you'll just let him slander you? What if he writes more anonymous reports or something?"

Su Xinghui frowned tightly. This is indeed still a trouble. If this person writes anonymous reports to the higher-level Party Committee, it will have some impact on him.

A stamp costs eight cents, but it can make the Discipline Inspection Commission run for half a year! Although Su Xinghui knows this saying, the thought of it one day coming true for him made him feel depressed.

Su Xinghui comforted Lu Xiaoya: "It's fine, Xiaoya. A straight shadow doesn't fear a crooked stick. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I fear ghosts knocking at the door? I have to adhere to principles in my work, which will definitely offend people. There's no way around encountering such things. I only hope you can support my work!"

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then how should I support your work?"

Su Xinghui said, "I don't need your support for anything else, as long as you trust me. Your trust in me is the greatest support for me. That person wrote you a letter, isn't it just hoping that you'll make a scene with me? Isn't it just hoping that I'll have trouble at home? If you don't trust me, then he has achieved his goal."

Lu Xiaoya is not a stupid person. Having been a Party newspaper reporter for so many years, she is no stranger to such things. Hearing Su Xinghui say this, she naturally understood the purpose of the person writing the letter, which was to make her lose her cool, make a scene with Su Xinghui, ruin Su Xinghui's reputation, and ultimately make him leave Pengjiawanzhen in disgrace.

Having figured these things out, Lu Xiaoya said, "Xinghui, don't worry, I will absolutely not fall for this trap. I will definitely trust you and support your work for the rest of my life."

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, thank you! Don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention to such things in my work and life from now on, and I will never give others the opportunity to slander me again, nor will I let you worry."

Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui tenderly and leaned into his arms.

The two lingered for a while, and Lu Xiaoya said, "Then you should go upstairs and rest early. We still have to attend Professor Qin's birthday banquet tomorrow."

Su Xinghui agreed, kissed Lu Xiaoya on the face again, then went out to greet Lu Zhenghong and his wife, and went upstairs to wash up and rest.

However, after lying in bed for a long time, Su Xinghui couldn't sleep. He was thinking about who could have written such a letter to Lu Xiaoya.

There is no doubt that this letter was written by someone in the town government, and it must be someone currently working there, not someone who has already left, because this person knows exactly what happened on Monday.

This person knows so clearly about the girls who came to find Su Xinghui; it seems they are really paying attention to Su Xinghui. It must have been planned for a long time.

Who could this be? It must be someone who is at odds with Su Xinghui. But after thinking for a long time, Su Xinghui still couldn't figure it out, because since he became the town mayor of Pengjiawan, he has touched the interests of too many people, and many people could have done such a thing.

After thinking for a long time, Su Xinghui still couldn't figure out who did this. He simply stopped thinking about it. Time to sleep, there are things to do tomorrow.

The next morning, Su Xinghui went to the courtyard to practice his boxing. Not long after, Lu Zhenghong also came out and started practicing that set of Five Animal Exercises.

Su Xinghui asked with a smile, "Uncle Lu, does practicing this set of Five Animal Exercises have some effect?"

Lu Zhenghong nodded and said, "Of course it has an effect. Now I feel very energetic every day, my body is light and healthy, and I can't go a day without practicing it."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "That's good, then Aunt Song can practice it too."
