Jiang Moli understood what Xu Moran was saying. She looked down at the water glass in her hand and said, "Ranran, I'm feeling very confused right now. Let me think about it some more."

Xu Moran did not urge Jiang Moli to divorce Zheng Heping and then go find the man from last night.

Because she knew that Jiang Moli's feelings for Zheng Heping were beyond her comprehension, and that there was also their daughter, Zhenzhen, between them.

Influenced by his mother, Zheng Heping may not like Zhenzhen as much as before. After all, she is his biological daughter. Even if he doesn't like her, he wouldn't hate her. But if a strange man were to become his stepfather, it's hard to say.

Jiang Moli herself lived with her mother after her parents divorced. After her mother passed away, she returned to live with her father. Her stepmother treated her badly.

Having had a stepmother, she knows all too well what it's like to live in your own home but have to be mindful of others' feelings.

She didn't want her daughter, Zhenzhen, to go through the same misfortune.

Xu Moran took Jiang Moli's hand and patted it gently in her palm. Through physical contact, she conveyed to Jiang Moli that no matter what decision Jiang Moli made, she would always stand by her side and support her.

Jiang Moli's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose tingled with emotion. No matter how sad or painful she was, she always relied on Xu Moran for support and to confide in him.

Jiang Moli was still a little worried about the two portraits. What if her colleagues in the interrogation room and the interrogation department printed the portraits again?

She didn't regret having sex with him last night, and naturally didn't dislike the man. On the contrary, after learning that he had stood up for her and beaten Zheng Heping, and that he had even cunningly given the phone number to the husband of Zheng Heping's female subordinate, she felt that the man was definitely a good person.

The two things he did last night were both for her; he couldn't let them bring him bad luck.

Xu Moran wasn't her best friend for nothing after all these years; she saw right through Jiang Moli's worries. After folding the two portraits, she put them into Jiang Moli's crossbody bag and said, "Lili, don't worry, once you take the portraits with you, they won't appear at the police station again."

Jiang Moli naturally trusted Xu Moran and nodded. As for the portrait Xu Moran had put in her bag, she didn't take it out, and she didn't think too much about why she didn't.

Xu Moran gave Jiang Moli the fare to pick up Zhenzhen. He wanted to ask her to wait a while, since so much time had passed, Zheng's mother, who had gone to buy the rainbow cake, should be back soon.

She didn't actually like rainbow cake; she just said it to Zheng's mother so she would buy it for Zhenzhen.

As Zhenzhen's biological grandmother, Zheng's mother never bought her a single piece of candy, let alone Zhenzhen's favorite rainbow cake, except for constantly disliking her for being a girl since she was born.

Jiang Moli had long since given up hope on Zheng's mother, and said indifferently, "Forget it, Ranran, I'll buy it for Zhenzhen myself later."

Xu Moran reached into her bag for her wallet again. "You're buying it? Do you have any money on you?"

I just gave all the loose change I had on me to Jiang Moli. I was about to take the money from my wallet to buy a cake for Zhenzhen.

Xu Moran was taking out her wallet with her back to Jiang Moli, so she didn't see Jiang Moli's expression at that moment. Embarrassment, embarrassment, and regret flashed across her face.

She remembered giving all her money to the stranger before leaving, and after searching all her pockets, she found only eleven yuan. She felt nothing else about it except that it was a little short.

Knowing how much he had done for her, she suddenly felt that eleven dollars wasn't just a little bit, it was far too little. She wondered if the man would feel humiliated if he woke up and saw it.

He was being humiliated because his performance last night was so poor—too few times, too monotonous, and too rough—that he was only worth eleven dollars.

The truth is, last night they did it many times, with a variety of movements and gentle techniques. If we were to price it based on quality, it would definitely be more than a hundred times eleven yuan.

If she had known, she should have put the jade bracelet on her wrist there too.

Alas, the one thing that's impossible in this world is to take a second chance. Now that things have come to this, it's no use for Ren Jiang Moli to regret it.

Jiang Moli didn't want to see Zheng Heping, so she left directly.

Being alone in the office made it convenient for Xu Moran to research travel guides for S City. She knew that she wasn't going there for leisure; she wanted to check the weather, the cultural atmosphere, and the local customs.

I know I might not ever need it, but what if I do?

You must never regret not having studied enough when you need it; you must do your homework in advance, this is called being prepared for a rainy day.

Xu Moran had just finished checking the weather forecast for S City for the week when Officer Chen from the interrogation room came again. It was really no wonder that he kept bothering Xu Moran; it was almost the weekend, and apart from Xu Moran, there were no other police officers in the office who could help him.

There was another crucial reason why he sought out Xu Moran: among the experienced police officers, Xu Moran was the most helpful.

Xu Moran noticed that Xiao Chen was completely different from the person who had come to see her at most twenty minutes ago. Twenty minutes ago, he was holding a portrait and calmly asking her for advice. Now, twenty minutes later, he stood in front of Xu Moran looking panicked and panting heavily.

Xu Moran asked in surprise, "Xiao Chen, did Zheng Heping do something to you using his position as a government official?"

Xiao Chen shook his head violently, "Sister Xu, this has nothing to do with Zheng Heping."

Xu Moran was even more surprised, "Then why are you in such a panic?"

To the uninformed, they might think the police station had been attacked by bad guys.

Xiao Chen was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, indicating that he had done a lot of strenuous exercise before running upstairs to find Xu Moran. "Sister Xu, it's Zheng Heping's mother..."
