Sun Chunjuan was acting with herself, and Zhao Xuehui naturally smiled in response.
“It’s not abrupt at all,” Zhao Xuehui said, then sighed somewhat embarrassedly, “But then again, I’m really sorry, I’ve already had dinner, so I can only accompany you for a walk outside, and I can’t have dinner with you.”
Sun Chunjuan was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Xuehui to refuse to have dinner with her for the first time.
You should know that even if Zhao Xuehui had already eaten, as long as I went to see her, she would agree to sit with me at a restaurant outside, and would even take the initiative to pay the bill.
But this time it's different.
The other person not only politely declined her request to have dinner with her, but also pretended not to understand what she was saying.
Judging from Zhao Xuehui's words, she was simply willing to sit outside with him for a while, but she didn't have time for a meal.
Thinking of this, Sun Chunjuan gritted her teeth, but a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded without hesitation.
"Of course, no problem."
Sun Chunjuan smiled slightly and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, Xuehui. Let's chat outside. I really want to spend more time with you, Xuehui. You have no idea how busy I've been while I'm away for research and study."
Zhao Xuehui was surprised that the other party would agree, but she still smiled and nodded: "Okay, the night is quite nice tonight, let's chat outside and catch up."
The two exchanged a knowing smile, and then Zhao Xuehui took Sun Chunjuan's arm, and the two walked outside together.
The night outside was as still as water. Sun Chunjuan looked at Zhao Xuehui, who seemed no different from before, but felt that something was not quite right.
But when asked to say something was wrong, she couldn't. She only felt that although Zhao Xuehui was still smiling at her as before, something seemed to have subtly changed.
That's what she thought, but Sun Chunjuan didn't say it aloud.
Because she always felt that she was overthinking things. Although Zhou Changgui hadn't contacted her recently, based on her understanding of Zhao Xuehui, Zhao Xuehui was a very naive woman.
Given Zhou Changgui's methods, no matter how naive Zhao Xuehui was, she would have already fallen into Zhou Changgui's clutches long ago.
Sun Chunjuan was certain of this in her heart, but she did not show it.
After walking a while with Zhao Xuehui, Sun Chunjuan casually picked up some topics to chat with her for a while. Most of the time, they talked about random things, and although she had a smile on her face, she seemed a little absent-minded.
Zhao Xuehui could tell at a glance that Sun Chunjuan had something on her mind, and she could also guess what Sun Chunjuan wanted to talk to her about.
But since Sun Chunjuan didn't say anything, Zhao Xuehui didn't ask her directly. Instead, she patiently waited for Sun Chunjuan to lose her patience and tell her herself.
As expected.
After only a few minutes of rambling conversation, Sun Chunjuan couldn't hold back any longer.
Thinking back on all this time, having been by Chen Yaofu's side, he realized he knew nothing about Zhou Changgui's affairs.
Sun Chunjuan gritted her teeth and finally asked, "By the way, Xuehui, has Teacher Zhou contacted you recently?"
Speaking of Zhou Changgui, Zhao Xuehui knew that Zhou Changgui's arrest would eventually be revealed to Sun Chunjuan, so it was better to tell the truth than to lie to her at this time.
Moreover, she also wanted to see how Sun Chunjuan would react after she revealed that Zhou Changgui had been arrested.
After all, these two had been in cahoots for so long, and now that Zhucheng had been suddenly arrested, all their plans had come to naught.
Just imagining how exciting Sun Chunjuan's reaction would be made Zhao Xuehui feel incredibly pleased.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuehui looked at Sun Chunjuan with a troubled expression, as if she didn't know what to say.
"I, I..."
Zhao Xuehui hesitated for a long time, then shook her head, her face showing some anger.
"I think I'd better not say anything. I think you and Teacher Zhou are friends, and if you knew about Teacher Zhou's situation, you definitely wouldn't believe it..."
The more Zhao Xuehui acted this way, the more curious Sun Chunjuan became.
With Zhao Xuehui's face full of anger, Sun Chunjuan naturally became even more eager to find out what was going on.
"Oh, Xuehui, what's our relationship? You can tell me anything about things like Teacher Zhou!"
Sun Chunjuan couldn't contain her impatience and became increasingly anxious.
"As for what exactly happened to Teacher Zhou, how could I possibly know if you don't tell me!"
"Besides, even if Teacher Zhou and I have a very good relationship, it can't compare to our relationship. We're good friends!"
After a pause, Sun Chunjuan asked directly, "Just tell me directly what happened to Teacher Zhou that made you so angry. If he bullied you or did something wrong, I'll tell him when we get back and make him apologize to you properly!"
Looking at Sun Chunjuan's extremely angry expression, someone who didn't know better might actually think she was looking out for him.
But only Zhao Xuehui knew that Sun Chunjuan was just putting on an act. She wasn't really thinking of herself, but rather wanted to know what problems had arisen in her relationship with Zhou Changgui.
"I……"
Zhao Xuehui was conflicted, and Sun Chunjuan became more and more anxious as she watched from the side.
If it weren't for keeping Zhao Xuehui calm, Sun Chunjuan would have already been cursing.
What bad thing did Zhou Changgui do this time to make Zhao Xuehui so angry?
They're more trouble than they're worth!
Sun Chunjuan cursed Zhou Changgui in her heart for a few moments, then grabbed Zhao Xuehui's hand.
"Xuehui, just tell me. If he really does anything outrageous, I will not let him off easily!"
Seeing Sun Chunjuan's extreme anxiety, Zhao Xuehui suppressed her inner turmoil, sighed, and felt both angry and speechless.
"It's like this, we ran into Teacher Zhou on the street a while ago, and we even made plans to have dinner together so that I could ask him some questions."
As she spoke, Zhao Xuehui gritted her teeth, her anger rising again.
"At the end, in the coffee shop, Zhou Changgui actually plotted to put drugs in my cup, and he also put drugs in my brother's cup!"
Under Sun Chunjuan's shocked gaze, Zhao Xuehui continued speaking.
"If someone hadn't seen us, we probably would have been in trouble by now!"
