As Jiang Sheng was thinking, he saw Zhao Xuehui snort, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil lamp on them.
“My older sister and I are so worried we can’t sleep. Although Defu said you went out to eat with your friends, it’s already past midnight. If something really happens to you, how are my older sister and I going to explain it to our godparents?”
At that time, the four older sisters went to the countryside. Thanks to the care of Jiang Sheng's parents, the four sisters had already recognized Jiang Sheng's parents as their godparents.
Therefore, when Jiang Sheng heard about his parents from Zhao Xuehui, he realized that his second sister was really angry this time.
He quickly straightened his posture and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Second Sister. I was so engrossed in chatting with my friend that I forgot the time and didn't call you to let you know I was safe. I really know I was wrong this time, and I promise it won't happen again!"
Seeing that Jiang Sheng truly realized his mistake this time, Zhao Xuehui sighed.
When Zhao Defu told the two sisters earlier, Zhao Xuehui had a bad feeling and subconsciously asked whether the other person was a boy or a girl.
Zhao Defu stammered and couldn't bring himself to say it, and Zhao Xuehui's heart sank at that moment.
Seeing Jiang Sheng so sincerely apologizing to her, Zhao Xuehui didn't know what to feel. She only felt a little sour and a little disappointed.
"It's good that you know you were wrong. Your older sister is in the living room right now. She's very worried about you. Go inside and apologize to her."
It was past midnight, and Jiang Sheng felt guilty and uneasy because his two older sisters didn't know about him and had been waiting for him until now.
Upon entering the room, seeing that his eldest sister was still dressed as if it were daytime, Jiang Sheng quickly stepped forward.
"Big sister, I'm so sorry..."
"It's alright."
Although Zhao Nianmeng's face was still tense, she finally breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Jiang Sheng return home unharmed.
She interrupted Jiang Sheng and sighed, "Big sister knows, little brother, you're eighteen now, you have your own thoughts and ideas. But if you're going to come back later in the future, be sure to call ahead."
“You didn’t explain things clearly on the phone today. Your second sister and I both thought you came back right after dinner. We were so worried we almost called the police. You can’t do this again, do you hear me?”
Jiang Sheng quickly nodded in agreement.
Zhao Nianmeng could guess why Jiang Sheng had come out to eat this time.
She and her younger sister, Zhao Xuehui, exchanged a glance, then both looked away, somewhat disappointed.
"Alright, hurry up and wash up and go to bed. You don't need to get up too early tomorrow, so don't be sleep-deprived."
Faced with his elder sister's instructions, Jiang Sheng quickly nodded in agreement.
After a quick wash and tidying up, it was already late at night.
Jiang Sheng was exhausted and lay down on the bed, sleeping soundly until dawn.
When he finally woke up, he was woken up by his second sister.
Jiang Sheng rubbed his eyes groggily, and when he opened them, he subconsciously glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Holy crap, it's already noon!"
Jiang Sheng jumped up immediately, hurriedly putting on his clothes, responding to his second sister's calls from outside.
"I'll get up right away, Second Sister, wait for me!"
After hastily dressing and combing her hair, Jiang Sheng opened the door and saw her second sister's face full of worry, anxiety, and anger.
"Second sister, it's past midnight now. Shouldn't you be eating at the radio station's cafeteria? Why did you suddenly come back?"
Seeing Jiang Sheng's sleepy face, Zhao Xuehui hurriedly pulled him out.
"You've just woken up, so you probably don't know what happened yet."
Zhao Xuehui sat opposite Jiang Sheng and poured him a cup of tea.
"Have a cup of tea to calm yourself down, and let me explain slowly. Don't get too angry!"
The more Zhao Xuehui said this, the more curious Jiang Sheng became.
But he obediently listened to the other party and quickly finished the cup of tea.
Jiang Shengrun cleared his throat and was about to speak when...
The door to the living room was suddenly opened.
The people standing at the door were none other than Zhao Nianmeng and Zhao Defu.
Seeing that the two of them had also rushed back from their respective factories, Jiang Sheng became even more curious and realized that something important must have happened.
"Big sister Defu, what brings you two back too?"
No sooner had Jiang Sheng finished speaking than Zhao Defu angrily spoke up before Zhao Nianmeng could.
"What else could it be? It must be about poetry. It's all over the news now. Sheng-ge, don't you know?"
"Defu, please sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."
Zhao Nianmeng patted Zhao Defu on the shoulder, then glanced at her second sister sitting on the sofa, and knew that the other sister must have come home for the same reason as her.
Zhao Defu was seething with anger, but because of Zhao Nianmeng's words, he shut his mouth, quickly walked to Jiang Sheng, and sat down next to him.
"Second sister, eldest sister and Defu are back too. Why don't you just tell me what happened?"
Jiang Sheng could tell that his two older sisters and Zhao Defu had all returned for the same reason.
"It seems that my eldest sister and Defu must know about it too."
After calming down, Zhao Xuehui let out a soft breath.
"Take a look at this first."
She took a newspaper out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng was still somewhat puzzled until he took the newspaper and saw its contents, at which point he finally understood.
The above content is about someone publicly questioning whether the line "Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming" in Jiang Yuesheng's poem is plagiarized from a line by the poet Zhou Changgui.
Of course, this was just an obscure little newspaper, and the questions raised were only a tiny section.
Even the tofu block was placed in the most conspicuous place on the newspaper, making it easy for anyone to see at a glance.
Moreover, small newspapers like these usually place such news items in prominent positions in order to increase sales.
This is just like what Jiang Sheng experienced in his previous life: various eye-catching press releases published by some media outlets in order to gain popularity.
After reading it, Jiang Sheng calmly placed the newspaper on the table.
In fact, he didn't care at all, and he had already guessed that someone would associate his published poem with Zhou Changgui.
Seeing his two older sisters and Zhao Defu so angry about his situation, Jiang Sheng felt a slight warmth in his heart.
"Eldest sister, second sister, Defu, true gold fears no fire. I don't care what others think. This poem was written by me. The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. I'm not afraid."
