The car stopped at the gate of the community. Wen Liang got out of the passenger seat, opened the back door, and said, "Wait in the car for a while. I'll take Ji Su upstairs."
Ji Su bent down and got out of the car, smiling and saying, "No need, I can go back by myself."
Xu Yao put her hands on the seat cushion, leaned forward, and said, "Let Wen Liang take you there. It's not safe to go upstairs alone."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll drop you off at the door and come down right away. It won't take up any time."
Ji Su nodded, said goodbye to the three people in the car, and slowly walked towards the residential building. Wen Liang bowed his head slightly, pointed at Xu Yao's collar, and whispered: "It's exposed."
Xu Yao cried out and immediately covered her collar, but she remembered that she was wearing a high-necked sweater today, so no skin would be exposed. She was about to lose her temper when she saw Ji Su limping. She softened her heart and whispered, "Go quickly, be careful she doesn't fall."
Wen Liang looked at the girl in front of him. She was in her prime, with eyes full of water waves, pure without a trace of impurities. Her face seemed to be covered with a faint halo, her skin was as tender as a child's, sometimes coquettish, sometimes docile. Tenderness surged in his heart, and he chuckled, "Wait for me to come back, soon."
Their eyes met, Xu Yao looked into his eyes, and seemed to see the happy times in the past again, and suddenly smiled: "Yeah!"
Wen Liang turned around, walked quickly to Ji Su, and soon disappeared at the other end of the road.
Ning Xiaoning took Xu Yao's hand and sighed: "You..."
Xu Yao's eyes were filled with bright light, and she murmured: "Ningning, you don't understand, you won't understand..."
Ning Xiaoning remained silent. Perhaps she understood the little bit of throbbing that had been suppressed deep in her heart at a certain moment!
Wen Liang helped Ji Su to the door of his house. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Ji Su smiled and pushed him, "Hurry up and go down. Don't let Xu Yao and the others wait anxiously."
Wen Liang nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a woman's angry shout faintly coming from the room. Ji Su's face changed, and he quickly took out the key to open the door, just in time to see He Xiaobo walking towards Su Rui step by step.
"He Xiaobo!"
He Xiaobo didn't have the guts to force it. In his mind, Su Rui wasn't a person with strong opinions. He might get what he wanted by threatening her with Ji Zheng's affairs. He was about to threaten her with a shameless face when he heard Ji Su's voice coming from the door. He was startled and stopped where he was.
Ji Su no longer cared about his foot injury, and ran over quickly while enduring the pain, stretching out his arms to block Su Rui behind him. His face, which always had a smile on it, was now filled with anger that could not be concealed.
"He Xiaobo, what are you doing?"
He Xiaobo turned his head and saw a boy standing at the door. His lust finally dissipated. He coughed and said, "Susu, I'm here to talk to your mom about your dad. I know you have misunderstandings about me..."
Su Rui's face flushed with anger at his shameless words just now, but she couldn't open her mouth in front of her daughter. Even if she said it, it would be dirty. Looking at this man who used to be a brother to Ji Zheng, she only hated that she had been blind all these years. A feeling of powerlessness surged through her body. She pointed at the door and said, "Go, you go..."
Ji Su was young after all, and thought that her mother and He Xiaobo had quarreled, and she didn't expect that it was going to be a more sinister place. She said coldly: "Did you hear me? Go away quickly, you are not welcome here. And please don't call me Su Su or Ji Su in the future, just pretend that you don't know each other."
How could Wen Liang not sigh? The fact that she could shield Su Rui with her whole body and say these words showed that this girl, after experiencing the misfortune, was much stronger than when she begged Gu Wenyuan on the rooftop.
People always grow and progress through hardships, and then when they look back at their panicked selves in the past, they can't help but laugh out loud.
He Xiaobo could not stand any slight from others now. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Ji Zheng's life is still in the hands of Director Yuan. Think carefully and don't regret it. Although he may be sentenced to more than ten years based on the current evidence, it's hard to say if I just open my mouth, hehe!"
Su Rui's face froze. She was so concerned that she would rather believe it than say anything harsh. Ji Su raised his head stubbornly and said word by word, "Just do whatever you want to do. We are not afraid!"
“Well said!”
Wen Liang clapped his hands and walked over. Without even looking at He Xiaobo, he said with a smile, "But I have to correct one thing. For those who haven't become a regular official in their thirties, whatever they say is just bullshit."
Since when, when she saw Wen Liang's gentle eyes and warm smile, Ji Su would feel infinite courage in her heart and have the confidence to face any difficulties and pains. Is this love? She doesn't know, but what she knows is that the place with Wen Liang's back is her paradise!
He Xiaobo, like all of Wen Liang's enemies in the past, was infuriated by his words and yelled, "Where did you come from, you little bastard? Are you looking for death?"
Wen Liang was a few steps away from He Xiaobo, still too lazy to look at him, and said: "Look, only the little people crawling at the bottom of society would swear to give themselves courage. In fact, even if you cut off the bear's gallbladder and give it to him, he still can't get on the stage and will always be a little person who is stepped on by others!"
What He Xiaobo hated the most for more than a decade was when others looked down upon him. He looked up to the sky and laughed with an extremely arrogant expression: “A small shot? Haha…” Yes, maybe it was true before, but since he made that decision, it is no longer the case.
Ji Su inherited Xu Yao's ability to support the main role very well, and actually knew what Wen Liang needed. He said, "He is now the head of the Production Planning Department." As one of the most important departments of Qinghua Factory, the Production Planning Department has more power than some deputy factory directors. If it were placed in the heyday of the factory, it would indeed be something to be proud of.
"Oh," Wen Liang said with a long tail, turned around and looked at He Xiaobo, his mouth slightly raised, eyelids lowered, and he imitated Xu Yao's classic disdainful expression perfectly: "The section chief of Qinghua Factory, it is said that he is at the same level as our class teacher, but he manages fewer people than him."
He Xiaobo almost vomited blood and kicked Wen Liang fiercely: "Fuck you!"
Su Rui and Ji Su exclaimed at the same time. Wen Liang had a mocking smile on his face. He dodged to the left and took a step forward. Not only did he avoid the kick, he also got in front of him, grabbed his shoulders and pulled them down. When He Xiaobo bent his upper body, he bent his left knee and hit He Xiaobo's lower abdomen hard.
He Xiaobo groaned in pain, his intestines almost bursting, and he squatted on the ground, holding his stomach, "You... you dare to hit me..."
"Hit you?" Wen Liang smiled coldly, looked around, and took out the TV remote control from under the coffee table, "Do you dare to look up at me?"
He Xiaobo raised his head with anger and fierce eyes, not knowing what was going on. Wen Liang raised his right hand high, drew an arc in the air, and slapped He Xiaobo's face hard.
“Bang!”
The remote control broke into pieces, He Xiaobo's mouth was full of blood, and his left face was swollen. His squatting body could not withstand such a strong force and fell to the side. His forehead hit the corner of the coffee table, and he was really bleeding.
Wen Liang threw away the remaining debris of the remote control in his hand and said, "Hit you? I'm afraid of dirtying my hands!" He had a keen eye and had already guessed what He Xiaobo had done and said from Su Rui's expression and the actions of the two. It was really disgusting to think about such a beast!
Su Rui was stunned when Wen Liang started fighting. She had never seen a boy of this age fight so fiercely and so cruelly. But his hitting and pulling made her completely relieve the humiliation she had just suffered. It was as if he had hit her with his own hands. Her body was trembling slightly, and her heart was full of gratitude and goodwill towards Wen Liang, a boy she had never met.
He Xiaobo struggled to get up, the blood on his forehead and mouth made his face look hideous. He had never suffered such hardship in his life, and was frightened by Wen Liang. He hurried to the door and shouted fiercely: "Wait, just wait, I'm going to call the police now. You intentionally hurt people, and none of you can escape!"
After he left, Su Rui asked worriedly, "Will there be any trouble?"
Ji Su held her hand and comforted her, "It's okay. With Wen Liang here, everything will be fine."
Wen Liang also smiled and said, "Aunt Su, don't worry, I'll make a phone call, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Using Ji Su's home phone, Wen Liang called Geng Chao of the Xicheng Branch. Wen Liang walked aside and whispered, "Director Geng, this is it... Yes, he's in Tonghai District, you take care of him. If he calls the police, I'll take him to you first and detain him for a night on any charge... Well, please treat him well for me."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the expectant eyes of the two, he said gently, "It's okay. He Xiaobo has no background or connections, so he can't cause any trouble."
While Wen Liang was on the phone, Ji Su had already told Su Rui Wen Liang's identity. She already knew Wen Liang's name. Ji Zheng had only contacted his family once, and he mentioned that it was Ji Su's classmates who helped him get out of the situation. So Su Rui had no doubts about his ability. A man who could get his man out of the police station would not have to work hard to deal with He Xiaobo.
Su Rui came over and held Wen Liang's hand, saying, "I've wanted to thank you in person for a long time, but Ji Su and his father wouldn't let me see you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened to this family..."
Looking closely, there was no trace of time on Su Rui's wrinkle-free face. She was round like a jade plate, fresh as a lotus in the rain, dignified and charming, with a mellow fragrance that only women can have. Standing side by side with Ji Su, they looked like sisters.
"Auntie, please don't say that. Uncle Ji was wronged, and anyone with a sense of justice will help him. Besides, Ji Su and I are classmates, and she has taken good care of me in my studies."
Ji Su only then realized the pain in his ankle. He sat on the sofa and said, "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. Wen Liang got first place in the exam, which is much better than me."
"Really?" After all, learning is still the most important thing these days. No matter how much Wen Liang has done, it is not as good as the title of first place. Su Rui looked very fond of him and stroked Wen Liang's hand twice: "Thank you very much."
They said a few more words, declined Su Rui's request to stay, and said goodbye. Ji Su Qiang supported himself and sent him to the door. Wen Liang walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, and smiled, "Ji Su, you have become strong."
Looking at Wen Liang's back disappearing in the stairwell, Ji Su's face showed a happy smile.
