Pretending to be weak when you can't be assertive is a trick she always uses.
However, she miscalculated again.
The security personnel who are responsible for questioning her will not be fooled by a few tears. They will not let the matter rest until they get a clear answer.
“I told you, I came here to find Shu Bowen… I just looked around as soon as I came in and found him… There was no one guarding the entrance, how was I supposed to know I couldn’t come in…”
The questioning continued relentlessly, over and over again, until Su Peipei was on the verge of a breakdown.
However, she gradually cleared her mind. Having experienced the future, she calmed down from their threats. Thinking about it again, she realized she hadn't done anything, and the other party couldn't do anything to her.
"...I'm telling you, this is illegal detention. If you don't release me, I'll go to the police station and report you. You'll be punished... You're arresting people without evidence and threatening me verbally... What? You want to force a confession out of me?... Fine, go ahead and lock me up here for life, or else... Hmph..."
A counter-intimidation tactic.
The other party was indeed startled. Su Peipei was arrested as soon as she entered. They had no evidence and originally wanted to trick her into giving them evidence, but after most of the day, they still hadn't gotten any useful information out of her.
The two men exchanged a glance. "Alright, let's go out and ask the leaders. Don't try to scare us. It's a fact that you trespassed on a confidential area. It's our duty to question you. The police station has no jurisdiction over this."
After the two finished speaking, they left, leaving Su Peipei alone. She was locked up until evening before someone came to open the door and let her out.
Looking at the darkening sky, Su Peipei felt extremely wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes. This time, she cried genuinely.
She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way in this life, when she and Shu Bowen had fallen in love at first sight in their past life.
Unbeknownst to her, from the moment she was reborn, the butterfly's wings had already begun to flutter.
The timing was wrong, the place was wrong, and my state of mind was wrong...
An unexpected encounter, a fleeting glimpse, and a deliberate attempt to stage an accident, a flattering seduction.
Since all the causes are different, how can you expect to get the same result?
Su Peipei returned home dejectedly, only to find the atmosphere inside was strange.
"You brat, where have you been? You're always running wild and never home."
Her return and Liu Cuihua's loud voice seemed to break the stagnation of time and space, and the scene became lively again.
"Yes, Peipei, where have you been? Your whole family is waiting for you to eat. Come on over." Su Dayong rarely spoke up to greet her.
Su Peipei glanced over from afar and saw that her grandparents and her eldest brother's family were also there, with a lavish spread of dishes on the table, indicating that they were celebrating.
However, by the time she was supposed to eat, the entire table of dishes had already been swept away like a whirlwind, leaving only scraps.
"Everyone's here? Are you celebrating Second Brother getting Uncle's job?" Su Peipei was in a bad mood and didn't want to pretend anymore. She walked over and said indifferently, "I went out to look for a job, worked hard all day, and came up empty-handed. I can't compare to Second Brother's good fortune. I know I can't compare to Second Brother, but what about Eldest Brother? We're both sons, what have you gotten?"
Her words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, stirring up another huge uproar.
“That’s right, we’re both sons, Su Ming, and you’re the eldest son in your family. Look at how your parents and elders treat you. If you don’t come up with a solution today, Su Ming, you stay here, and I’ll take my son home and live on my own.” Sister-in-law Li Qin said harshly.
