Chapter 90 The rain was particularly heavy that night.
When the police car arrived, the alley was crowded with people, all craning their necks to look inside.
What happened?
"I heard that it was Wen's daughter who called the police and had her father arrested."
"ah?"
"No matter what, he's his biological father. How can you call the police to arrest him?"
"This little girl is heartless, just like her mother."
...
The crowd was engaged in lively discussion.
Wen Jiu's gaze was cold as she stared straight at the people being taken away by the police.
"You wretched thing, you wait, I'll be back! I'll beat you to death!"
"Slut! Slut!"
The man was hurling vulgar insults, and the two policemen holding his arms couldn't stand it anymore. Just as they were about to reprimand him, a teenager appeared out of nowhere and kicked him.
They tried to stop them, but the person who was being beaten showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly stepped forward to approach the boy next to the car.
No one knows what he said, but the man, who had been relatively calm, suddenly sneered and threw another punch in front of a group of police officers.
"You know that."
"Our Xiao Jiu wants to study law."
"If I really go in, she'll never be able to study again!"
...
Zhou Yanchuan walked suddenly toward the police car, and by the time Wen Jiu caught up, he had already made his move.
She reached out to pull him. For the first time, he was beyond her control.
asshole!
He clearly knows everything, yet he still drags her along.
*
Zhou Yanchuan was taken into custody for assaulting the police in front of them, and Wen Jiu, who had called the police, also went to the police station.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the statement was taken.
When Wen Jiu came out, she bumped into Chen Bin, who had come to bring Zhou Yanchuan.
The man nodded slightly to her and strode towards the temporary control room.
When the policeman saw him arrive, he immediately stood up from his chair.
Wen Jiu stopped listening to their conversation and instead saw through the glass door the person gesturing towards her.
*
As soon as Chen Bin entered the control room, he saw the boy sitting casually in a chair.
"Are you injured?" He looked her up and down first.
Zhou Yanchuan didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where's Wen Jiu?"
"You dare mention her? Do you know how angry your grandfather is this time?"
Zhou Yanchuan didn't care much.
Seeing the boy like this, Chen Bin couldn't help but sigh once again at how young he was.
Every time he makes a mistake because of the girl, the hope of them being together diminishes further.
Besides, they could never be together in the first place.

It seems like it rains a lot these days before the college entrance exam. Wen Jiu sat in the car watching the raindrops suddenly hit the window.
She thought to herself, "She hasn't moved the flowers from the balcony into the room yet. I wonder if they can withstand such heavy rain."
You can consider what I just said.
In the silence, the old man in the back row suddenly spoke again.
Looking at the dappled light and shadows outside the window, Wen Jiu felt her eyes getting a little sore: "No need to think about it anymore."
She took a deep breath: "I promise you."
Zhou Qiyong's hand, which was resting on his cane, twitched slightly: "You're a smart kid, it's just a pity."
Wen Jiu knew what he meant by the half-finished sentence.
She smiled bitterly yet with a sense of relief.
Her family background was predetermined at birth, and she had no choice but to accept it.
Wen Jiu politely said goodbye to the person, opened the car door, and just as she was about to get out, an umbrella was handed to her from behind.
She said "thank you" but didn't take the food.
*
The rain that night was particularly heavy, so heavy that Wen Jiu could barely bear it.
Sitting in the car for three minutes, she made a decision that would cause her heart to ache terribly whenever she thought about it.
Zhou Yanchuan had just come out of the police station when he saw the girl squatting at the door waiting for him.
He saw that she was soaked to the bone, and his heart ached for her but he couldn't bring himself to be harsh with her. He simply took off his shirt and draped it over her shoulders: "It's raining so hard, why didn't you go inside and wait?"
Wen Jiu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and two tears fell in quick succession.
Zhou Yanchuan paused, "Why are you crying?"
"sorry."
He laughed: "Why are you apologizing to me?"
Wen Jiu didn't speak, she just kept saying, "I'm sorry..."
"Okay," he said, raising his hand to see the bloodstains on his wound. He wiped them on his t-shirt before helping her wipe her tears again. "Consider it an apology from me. I forgive you. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
Wen Jiu pouted, cried even harder, and kept repeating, "I'm sorry..."
Zhou Yanchuan thought the girl was blaming herself for coming to the police station, so he gently coaxed her, "It's nothing, isn't it? Why are you crying? Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
Wen Jiu shook her head and watched him cry.
Zhou Yanchuan softened at that look and was completely at a loss for what to do for the first time.
It was raining heavily, and she was soaked. He wanted to get her to a warmer place as soon as possible.
"I'm hungry, will you eat something with me?"
"Are you hungry?" a pitiful question posed.
"Um."
Wen Jiu nodded, but she was still sobbing.
As Zhou Yanchuan helped the girl into the car, he saw the black car in the rain.
He was somewhat surprised that Chen Bin hadn't left yet.
He glanced at her once, then turned his attention to the girl beside him.
*
In the car next to him, Zhou Qiyong rubbed his temples wearily.
The person in the driver's seat calmly reported: "Everything has been handled as you instructed. Wen Chengyu's case doesn't constitute a criminal offense, and he will be released tomorrow."
"Um."
"What about a loan?"
"Return it."
Consider it a gift for the little girl for agreeing to his request.
*
Wen Jiu thought they were going to a restaurant, but upon entering, she discovered it was a hotel.
Zhou Yanchuan gave her the room key and told her to go to her room to change her clothes before going to eat.
After Wen Jiu finished showering and changing her clothes, Zhou Yanchuan was waiting for her on the sofa.
He seemed to be asleep, the dim yellow light falling on him, warm and cozy, like being at home.
Wen Jiu walked quietly to his side and squatted down by the sofa.
As she looked at him, a thought involuntarily crossed her mind.
I wish it could stay like this forever.
"Zhou Yanchuan."
She called his name softly, and the moment he opened his eyes, she pressed her hand on the sofa, knelt down, and kissed the corner of his lips.
A rare look of confusion appeared in Zhou Yanchuan's eyes.
After a long pause, she murmured, "I'm dreaming."
*
After the college entrance examination, Wen Jiu stayed at home for two days. She originally wanted to go out and find a part-time job, but Zhou Yanchuan suddenly came to her house and asked her if she wanted to go abroad for a trip.
Go abroad to find Xia Shi.
The girl is learning to dance and is currently training abroad with her teacher.
Feeling wronged because I was in an unfamiliar place.
Wen Jiu asked him how he knew, and he said that when Qi You was on the phone with Xia Shi, he noticed that her tone was off.
Qi You and Xia Shi became close at the end of their second year of high school.
Wen Jiu never expected that the "rude" Chen Yu mentioned would also have such a gentle side.
She nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Yanchuan frowned slightly as he looked at the person who nodded and said "okay".
For some reason, I felt that something about the girl had changed after we came back from the police station.
A faint sadness would occasionally flicker in those beautiful eyes, so subtle yet so persistent, as if etched into their very bones.
He felt a vague unease.
