Shi Nian's dark, clear eyes stared at him without blinking, and the disguised rhetoric skills that Feng Sihan had systematically learned when facing doubts no longer worked.
He and Shi Nian looked at each other, feeling nervous, afraid of revealing any flaws and arousing her suspicion.
Shi Nian suddenly said firmly, "I understand."
Feng Sihan's Adam's apple rolled, "What do you know?"
Shi Nian crossed her arms and turned to face him, "I know why you lied to me."
Feng Sihan's heart was beating fast. He pursed his lips and looked at her, waiting for her to speak again.
Shi Nian asked in a deep voice, "The 200,000 yuan you gave me was not a government subsidy, but you paid it out of your own pocket?"
She paused, locked her gaze with him, and asked, "You were selected as a special forces soldier a long time ago, but you didn't tell me?"
Feng Sihan was struck by what she said and pursed his dry lips, "Niannian, I..."
Zhao Xinyue suddenly ran out from the inner room, her loud voice instantly drowning out his voice, "Baby, the customer just now forgot to take away the small clothes that the dog took off!"
Shi Nian's attention was diverted, and he immediately stood up from the sofa after hearing this, "The customer just now placed an order on the platform. I'll check her mobile number and call her."
She and Zhao Xinyue went over to check the computer together, and Feng Sihan's stiff muscles gradually relaxed.
It was a close call. I almost couldn't resist it...
A few minutes later, Shi Nian and Zhao Xinyue returned the small clothes to the pet owner and sat back on the sofa. "Si Han, where were we just now?"
Seeing that she had almost forgotten what happened just now, Feng Sihan tore open the paper bag of dessert on the table and said, "Niannian, you and your friend can share this and eat it. The cream will melt after a while."
"OK."
Until he returned home at noon, Shi Nian hadn't thought about what he had just said.
On the way home, she was still savoring the delicious snacks she had just eaten.
"Sihan, which dessert shop did you buy it from?"
"I'll send you the address later."
The car turned into the residential area, and Shi Nian heard noisy sounds through the car window.
She looked up at the crowded crowd at the entrance of the corridor in front of her and was startled for a moment, "Why are there so many people?"
Feng Sihan stopped the car, and Shi Nian recognized that the entrance to the corridor where they were piled up was the unit where Shi Wei lived.
"Is there a family dinner?"
"Why do they look like they are arguing?"
The crowd was full of middle-aged men. Shi Nian's mind flashed back to the live broadcast of Liu Chunyan that she had seen yesterday. Her heart sank suddenly, "Oh no!"
Shi Nian pushed the door and got out of the car. The noisy sound suddenly became clear and flooded into her ears.
"I'm the top guy on the list, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you snatch my woman from me!"
"Xiao Wei's mom said it's first come, first served. I was the first one to give her a gift and sent her a private message asking for her contact information. If you're capable, let's compete in time and follow the principle of first come, first served!"
"Who's talking about first come first served? Get out of here, get out of my way!"
"How much is your annual salary? You have the nerve to come here dressed so shabbily!"
"It's better for me to be shabby than you to be uglier! Xiaowei! Xiaowei, I love you! Marry me!"
No one knew who started the argument, but the content of the argument became more and more outrageous, and they began to spread obscene rumors without restraint.
"Xiao Wei and I have already slept in the same bed!"
"Stop talking bullshit! We've been living together since Shi Wei got divorced!"
Shi Nian's veins were throbbing and he clenched his fists, but his arm was held by Feng Sihan.
"Niannian, don't be impulsive. Call the police directly and let them handle it."
Shi Nian couldn't swallow this breath, so she picked up her phone and clicked on the video recording. "Si Han, call the police. I want to take a picture of their faces and sue them for violating my sister's reputation rights later! They are so talkative and they are spreading rumors all the time!"
Shi Nian's voice attracted several dissatisfied glances. Feng Sihan was afraid that she would get into trouble, so he pulled her arm and led her back.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "That woman has appeared in the video! She is Shi Wei's sister!"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on her, and a dark crowd pressed towards her.
"Hey, where's your sister? I'm your brother-in-law!"
"Call your sister right now and tell her her husband is waiting for her downstairs!"
"What's your name, girl? Are you single too? How much do you want to marry me?"
Everyone was talking at once. Shi Nian looked unhappy and said angrily, "My sister has a boyfriend. Go back to where you came from!"
The shouting crowd walked straight over, showing no sign of stopping.
Feng Sihan frowned, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he protected Shi Nian behind him, put his arm around her shoulders and turned her around, "Niannian, go back to the car first."
"Hey, don't run!"
"Call your sister out!"
"I'm your brother-in-law!"
Shi Nian was stuffed into the passenger seat by Feng Sihan. The car door slammed shut and the noise died down in an instant.
Feng Sihan got into the car right after him, closing and locking the door.
People gathered around the car and kept tapping on the window with their fingers.
Shi Nian looked at the ugly faces of the people right in front of him. Even though he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could guess from the way they opened and closed their mouths that they definitely didn't say anything nice.
Shi Nian's eyes burned with rage, and her vision suddenly went dark, and a big hand covered her eyes.
Feng Sihan's calm voice came from behind his ear, "Nian Nian, ignore them. If you give them your attention, it will only encourage their arrogance and make them even more arrogant."
Shi Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly, brushing across his palm.
Feng Sihan felt a tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, and his heart was throbbing as if being brushed by a cat's tail.
Shi Nian suddenly held his hanging hands with both hands, turned around and looked at him, "Si Han, you are right."
She suppressed her anger and said, "You call the police, I'll call my sister and remind her not to go out."
Feng Sihan nodded and called the police in a deep voice.
Shi Nian ignored the sound of knocking on the car window and found Shi Wei's phone number and called her.
The reminder sounded several times, but no one answered.
Shi Nian was a little anxious. She redialed but still couldn't get through. After leaving a message for Shi Wei, she immediately called Zheng Hai.
Zheng Hai answered the call almost immediately, but the background noise was chaotic, as if many people were arguing.
Shi Nian frowned, "Mr. Zheng, is my sister with you now? Why is it so noisy over there?"
She realized something, was stunned for a moment, and looked forward.
The people gathered around their car disappeared at some point, and they all rushed forward.
Shi Nian saw a car not far away that was surrounded by layers of walls and was completely unrecognizable, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zheng Hai's anxious voice came, "Niannian, your sister and I are in the car, just returned to the community...but we are in some trouble now, so let's not talk for now, I'll call you back later."
"Why!"
Before Shi Nian could stop him, Zheng Hai had already hung up the phone.
She looked up and saw someone smashing the car window with a brick. Her heart was in her throat for a moment and she said angrily, "These people are crazy!"
