Chapter 11: The Police Called by Your Ex-Boyfriend
"Ding-dong, ding-dong."
Meng Zhe went to open the door, and Ye Yurou carried two large bags of snacks: "Brother Meng Zhe, you're here too."
She casually kicked off her flat shoes, put down her bag, and started petting the dog: "Cherry, Sister Yurou is here! Did you miss me?"
Qiao Xu sighed helplessly, "Why did you buy so many snacks again?"
Ye Yurou sat down next to her, holding the dog: "You can't come empty-handed for a free meal. Where's Xinxin? Hasn't she arrived yet?"
"It'll be soon."
Ye Yurou tilted her head and saw Meng Zhe putting her shoes into the shoe cabinet, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Um... Brother Meng Zhe, how can I let you pick up my shoes?"
Meng Zhe placed disposable slippers beside her feet: "It's nothing, I'll go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, you two chat."
Ye Yurou's eyes followed Meng Zhe's retreating figure. Qiao Xu waved the flowers in front of her: "Are you back to your senses?"
"If you like him, go for it. He doesn't have a girlfriend."
Ye Yurou rubbed the dog: "No, I'm insecure and afraid of being rejected."
"You're insecure???" Qiao Xu didn't believe it. Who was the person who sent her all that random stuff every day?
Not long after, Fang Kexin arrived with her boyfriend, carrying a cake.
"How can you move to a new house without a cake?"
Qiao Xu accepted it and thanked her.
Everyone knew each other, and we enjoyed the meal.
When it was time to cut the cake, Ye Yurou took out her phone to take a group photo.
Qiao Xu sat in the middle, holding a cake in one hand and a dog in the other. Meng Zhe was to her left, helping her carry the cake. Fang Kexin and her boyfriend stood behind them.
Ye Yurou tilted her head and leaned closer to Qiao Xu into the frame. From the photo, it looked like two couples, a single dog, and a real dog.
On the other side, Xu Si'an, who had just finished swimming, opened his phone and saw a screenshot of a WeChat Moments post sent to him by He Yanxun.
He Yanxun: "Wow, the dog thief you're talking about isn't your precious baby, is it?"
He Yanxun: "Image"
He Yanxun: "It's over, your darling has found a stepfather for your dog."
Xu Si'an exited his chat window and went to Qiao Xu's Moments.
No dynamic content?
He then looked through the other two secretaries' pictures, and found that it was the same picture that He Yanxun had sent.
Xu Si'an made a phone call: "Where did you take the picture from?"
"Qiao Xu's WeChat Moments."
He Yanxun's company has a partnership with Xuxing Group and has Qiao Xu's WeChat account.
The call was disconnected, and He Yanxun clicked his tongue.
Xu Si'an gripped his phone tightly.
Okay, great, I'll post this on my WeChat Moments and then block him.
They stole his dog.
Looking for a man.
He took his dog to find other men.
Qiao Xu, you think I'm dead.
Xu Si'an dialed the number again.
Inside the apartment, Meng Zhe was helping Qiao Xu tidy up before leaving when he opened the door and saw the police standing there.
"This is?"
"Hello, does Qiao Xu live here?"
Qiao Xu came out of the house: "Hello, I'm Qiao Xu. Is there anything I can help you with?"
The police officer showed his identification: "We received a call reporting that someone stole your dog. You need to come with us to the police station to make a statement."
Cherry followed behind Qiao Xu, the evidence stark and clear.
Qiao Xu almost laughed out of anger, while Meng Zhe looked shocked: "You stole a dog?"
"I'll steal your sister."
"Officer, may I ask if the person who called the police is surnamed Xu?"
So, the reason he sent her a message on her other WeChat account early the day before yesterday was because he knew the dog was with her.
The police officer said, "Sorry, we cannot disclose the information of the person who called the police."
Qiao Xu nodded: "I understand. Can I change my clothes before I go with you?"
Meng Zhe spoke up, "Officer, my sister has raised this dog for several years. Just because someone else lost their dog doesn't mean she stole it. Could you please go ahead and I'll take her there?"
"It wouldn't look good if word got out that she, a young girl, was riding in a police car."
The police weren't unreasonable: "Fine, then bring your dog along too."
After the door closed, Meng Zhe asked Qiao Xu, "Your ex-boyfriend called the police."
Qiao Xu replied expressionlessly, "Is that so?"
"No, didn't you have a dog since college?"
Qiao Xu went inside, changed her clothes, took her ID, and picked up the dog: "I raised it with him."
"He paid for the dog."
Meng Zhe followed behind her: "So, when you broke up, he didn't know you took the dog with you?"
Qiao Xu's face was expressionless: "Didn't you hear what he said? I stole it."
Meng Zhe was speechless, but he couldn't bear to say anything to her.
"It's okay, if he really wants it, just give it back to him, and I'll buy you another one."
Qiao Xu left the elevator without saying a word, carrying the dog.
After getting in the car, Qiao Xu remained silent, simply holding the dog quietly.
"Are you still in contact with your ex-boyfriend?"
Qiao Xu muttered, "I guess so."
Meng Zhe was speechless: "What do you mean by 'consider it'? If it exists, it exists. How can it be considered as having something?"
"He is my direct supervisor."
"Holy crap? So calling the police is a deliberate attempt to get you?"
Qiao Xu also wanted to know if he did it on purpose.
The car was parked on the side of the road near the police station, and Qiao Xu could already see the man standing at the entrance of the police station.
Wearing black trousers and a white shirt, he leaned against the wall and smoked.
She's a bit different from when she's at the company; she's very lazy.
"Is it him?"
"Okay, I'm getting off. You can go back now."
Xu Si'an did not know Meng Zhe, nor did he know who Meng Zhe was.
But he is very possessive of himself, and she was a little afraid that Xu Si'an would fight with Meng Zhe.
Meng Zhe unbuckled his seatbelt: "No way, what kind of idea is it to leave you here all alone? If my parents find out, I'll be in big trouble."
When Qiao Xu got out of the car, the dog in her arms seemed to sense something and kept making a fuss.
She scolded it a little angrily: "You're so excited before you've even met him. Don't worry, you'll be able to go with him in a bit."
When Meng Zhe appeared with Qiao Xu, Xu Si'an's gaze lingered on them for a few seconds before he stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray on the trash can and turned to go inside.
Inside the police station, the lawyer stood beside Xu Si'an.
Meng Zhe pulled out a chair for Qiao Xu to sit down, but before he could say anything, his phone rang.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xu said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll take a taxi home later."
Meng Zhe didn't want to leave either, but there were things to do at the factory and he couldn't keep the major clients waiting.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Meng Zhe patted her head: "If you don't want this dog, you don't have to. I'll buy you another one just like it."
"You're so annoying, just go away."
In Xu Si'an's eyes, Qiao Xu's impatience was just her flirting with another man.
Touch her head.
She actually let another man touch her head.
In the past, he would have dragged her into the bathroom, washed her hair, and then given her a good scolding.
Xu Si'an glanced at the lawyer, who placed the documents in front of Qiao Xu: "Ms. Qiao, these are the purchase receipts for the dog that Mr. Xu bought six years ago, as well as the certificates that were obtained before the dog was lost."
Qiao Xu rubbed the dog: "What proof do you have that the dog is yours? All dogs of this breed look the same."
The lawyer looked at Xu Si'an: "Mr. Xu."
The man's voice was calm: "There is a burn mark on the palm of your right hand."
