Jin Baoyi and Chen Qingyu both began to persuade Shen Qiurong: “Comrade Shen, just tell me whether it was Comrade Meng who told you this?”
"She told me that." Shen Qiurong said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Tang pressed on: "When did she tell you? Where, when, and how did she tell you? Tell me."
"I..." Shen Qiurong was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Tang pressed on: "Why can't you say it?"
Shen Qiurong was so angry that he said, "Who are you? Why should I tell you this?"
Jiang Tang refused to back down. "I, Jiang Tang, am Meng Si Ning's best friend, Xia Qiu's, so I guess I can be considered a best friend. These two parties are now implicated, and I've been indirectly implicated as well. What's my reason? You're not going to tell me, right? Let's go to the police station."
Seeing this, Jin Baoyi hurriedly said, "Comrade Shen, hurry up and tell me. Jiang Tang, after Qingyu told me, I haven't told anyone, and I don't know who spread the rumor in the compound that I said it. I swear, if I tell it, I will be hit by a car when I go out."
Seeing how ruthless Jin Baoyi was, Chen Qingyu quickly expressed his stance: "I really only told Baoyi. I swear, if I tell anyone else, I'll be expelled from the cultural troupe when I return." Seeing their sincerity, Jiang Tang turned to look at Shen Qiurong: "Comrade Shen, swear an oath as well. If you dare to swear, I'll believe you."
"I...I..." Shen Qiurong stuttered.
Jiang Tang sneered, "Why? You don't dare. You feel guilty."
"I...I swear, if Meng Si Ning hadn't told me, I would...I would..."
Jin Baoyi and Chen Qingyu looked at the stuttering Shen Qiurong, looked at each other silently, and stood aside silently.
Jiang Tang was relentless: "Just...what? You're being so hesitant, like I'm forcing you. This makes me doubt your sincerity. Why don't you go to the police station?"
"May God strike you with lightning." Shen Qiurong said through gritted teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking, "Boom..." a burst of thunder suddenly came from the sky.
Jin Baoyi shouted in surprise: "It's thundering."
Chen Qingyu pulled her back quickly, fearing that lightning would strike. Shen Qiurong glanced up at the sky guiltily and quickly ran to the bottom of a nearby tree.
Only Jiang Tang laughed out loud at her embarrassed look: "You two saw it, it came true, Shen Qiurong, with your ability, you dare to accuse my best friend of gossip. I think it was you who spread the things in the compound. You are not afraid of being investigated for spreading rumors in the Rong District compound. Come with me."
Shen Qiurong hugged the tree trembling, but still looked stubborn: "Comrade Jiang, I just swore an oath, it wasn't me who said it."
"Wasn't the thunder just now obvious enough?" Jiang Tang said.
"It was just a coincidence." Shen Qiurong defended.
"Do you dare to swear again?" Jiang Tang asked.
"Why should I send it twice? Believe it or not." After Shen Qiurong finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Jiang Tang threatened her from behind, "Hey, why are you running? I still have to take you to the Rong District."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the two people who were still looking up at the sky from time to time and said, "Didn't you swear a firm oath? Why are you looking up at the sky? Are you feeling guilty and swearing a false oath?"
The two of them quickly shook their heads: "No, no."
"No, I'm telling the truth."
Jiang Tang asked, "Didn't Shen Qiurong just come here not long ago? How did you two get to know each other?"
Chen Qingyu replied, "She is a friend of Xia Qiu and Comrade Gu. We have played together a few times."
Jin Baoyi added, "She was assigned to work in our factory. I'm from the Human Resources Department and I just met her."
Chen Qingyu continued, "She said that her cousin didn't have time, and Xia Qiu was busy recently, so she asked me to accompany her here to familiarize herself with the environment. It just so happens that I also know Baoyi. When she told me about this, I didn't react much. After all, Comrade Gu and Xia Qiu were dating, so it wasn't a big deal. I just don't know why she said it was spread by your best friend."
Jiang Tang had no idea how her best friend had offended her.
After separating from the two of them, I quickly ran to find my best friend.
After hearing Jiang Tang's call in the space, Meng Si Ning returned home early in the afternoon. After listening to her passionate description, he realized belatedly, "No wonder Xia Qiu looked so cold when I greeted her last time. I guess she thought it was me who sent the message."
Jiang Tang asked doubtfully, "How did you offend Shen Qiurong?"
Meng Si Ning shrugged: "I only met her once. Maybe she wanted to live in my house, but I ignored her."
Jiang Tang said angrily: "Yes, it must be this matter. Damn, what a mean person! This kind of person who holds grudges can stab you in the back without you knowing how he got stabbed."
Meng Si Ning gritted his teeth in anger: "You should have dragged her to the police station just now. I'll go there too. Look, I'll stab her."
Before the two of them could finish their conversation, Liang Tianying knocked on her door.
Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang looked at each other.
"It must be bad news if she comes here at this time."
Jiang Tang said, "I'm going to find Jin Baoyi."
Liang Tianying met Jiang Tang at the door, but Jiang Tang ignored her and ran away.
Meng Si Ning brought Liang Tianying into the living room: "Aunt Liang, would you like some black tea?"
Liang Tianying waved his hand with a cold face and said, "Don't bother, Si Ning. I came here today just to ask you something."
Meng Si Ning understood and sat down directly, saying, "Aunt Liang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"You've heard all the gossip about my Qiuqiu lately, right?"
Meng Si Ning nodded: "I just heard about it today."
"I remember what happened last time. You were there too, so you know it very well. Who do you think spread this rumor?"
Meng Si Ning looked at Liang Tianying and chuckled, "I'm not sure who spread the rumor. Aunt Liang, as the director of our street, should find the source instead of asking me here.
I'm a little girl who works during the day and stays at home at night. I don't even know all the neighbors around here. How could I know all this? "
"Si Ning, I'm just looking for the source, and it's already obvious. Aunt Zhang is our neighbor, and everyone in the compound knows her big mouth. Nine out of ten things come from her mouth.
Isn’t it clear when I ask you this?”
"I don't quite understand. Aunt Liang, just tell me directly."
"I originally wanted to give you a chance. Since you said so, then as your elder, I will talk to you. Don't be angry.
Si Ning, I know you grew up outside and your thoughts are different from those in China, but no matter how different, you always have the same blood in your bones.
You are living alone now, and it is easy to make mistakes without adult guidance.
I saw you and Qiuqiu playing together often before, and you became like sisters. I didn’t expect that you would slander her behind her back.
If you say that to her, and everyone in the compound knows about it, what good will it do you?"
