As the phone began to ring, everyone quieted down, glancing nervously at each other.
Just as I was about to answer it, the call abruptly ended.
“Was that him calling?”
Wenya asked.
“He ought to still be at the police station. If he was able to call, then that means they haven’t detained him.”
Su Peisheng briefed us on some details about detention procedures.
After listening, Wenya became even more riled up than I was,
“So the rich can act with total impunity, is that it? M/ell, I’ll pay whatever it takes to have him killed; where can one hire a hitman?”
Just as Wenya finished speaking, she was met with a snort of derision from Su Peisheng.
“Ignorance! A complete lack of understanding of the law! How sad!”
Wenya wasn’t going to take this lying down, “You legal toady! Who are you insulting?”
“Did I name anyone?”
“You continued after what I said, which means you’re insulting me!!!”
Su Peisheng snorted coldly,
“Please, if you’re dumb, read more books! Otherwise, sit there and keep your mouth shut, lest you expose your lack of intelligence.”
Su Peisheng certainly had a mouth on him. He hadn’t used a single curse word but had thoroughly belittled her.
Wenya’s anger flared again and she shot to her feet, jabbing a finger at Su Peishengs nose in anger.
“So you’re the smart one, huh? You call that being clever? Men like you, all smug and self-righteous, I wouldn’t give you the time of day, even if I had no brains in my head.”
“Ha, did I ask for your approval? And for the record, I wouldn’t give a second look to a spinster like you.”
At these words from Su Peisheng, Ding Yinuo quickly stepped in and pulled him away.
“Enough, mind your words. Are you a man or not? If you’re a man, stop arguing with a woman!”
Ding Yinuo’s intervention, although it left Su Peisheng somewhat disgruntled, at least had the effect of silencing him.
Ding Yinuo then pulled him outside,
“Go and find out what’s happening with Gu Yuanzhou! If there’s any news, report back to me immediately.”
“All right, I’m going.”
And with that, Su Peisheng put on his coat and left.
Ding Yinuo turned back to me,
“Honestly, Su Peisheng didn’t use to be like this. It’s really strange. The moment he lays eyes on Wenya, they start arguing incessantly!”
I looked at Su Peishengs departing figure, pondering. Indeed, when I had seen him at the law firm before, he had been both diplomatic and efficient.
He never seemed like the type to get into incessant disputes with women.
What was going on?
I glanced at Wenya and she seemed furious, complaining nonstop to Jian Jing.
“Did you see that? What an uncultured brute. He called me a spinster. If it weren’t for Ayun’s sake, I’d have slapped him twice,” Suddenly I understood and sat down next to Wenya,
“Are you possibly in love with the lavvyer, Su?”
“Me? In love with him? Yuck, I feel like throwing up just looking at him. If I fell for him, I’d know there were ghosts!”
I chuckled and didn’t pursue the matter further.
However, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Gu Yuanzhou. If it weren’t for their company, I’d be anxious out of my mind.
After we had finished our hot pot, Ding Yinuo made us some tea.
While we were waiting for news from Su Peisheng, we were all bored, and the conversation shifted back to Gu Yuanzhou.
“Ayun, you’ve spent a long time with Gu Yuanzhou, did he ever find out about your reincarnation?”
Wenya asked while peeling an orange.
I shook my head.
Wenya continued,
“Well, I suppose not. That scumbag is so engrossed with Ye Mengyan, how would he ever pay attention to any other woman?”
1 suddenly recalled the discussion I had with Gu Yuanzhou.
“Let me tell you a ghost story. Gu Yuanzhou once told me that his relationship with Ye Mengyan is very pure, it isn’t a ‘sugar daddy-sugar baby’ relationship.”
