Chapter 168 I have a question in my mind
Three days later.
Su Jin, dressed neatly and carrying the pastries that Wu Ma had bought in advance, got into Wang Liang's jeep and left the family compound.
Yesterday she spoke with Liu Wanrong on the phone and asked for Kong Daqing's address.
It's perfectly normal for her to visit someone who saved her at a crucial moment.
The car weaved through the streets of Beijing, winding through several alleys before finally stopping at the entrance of a narrow hutong.
"This is it."
Wang Liang pointed to the house at the very end of the alley and said.
Su Jin carried the pastries, not daring to take big steps, still maintaining the appearance that her sprained ankle hadn't fully healed.
Wang Liang stayed by her side, never leaving her for a moment.
Is Master Kong home?
The door was open, and Su Jin stood at the door and politely asked those inside.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Kong Daqing came out of the house.
Upon seeing her, he was clearly surprised, but his surprise quickly turned into delight.
"Miss Su, how did you know I lived here?"
We rushed to meet them as quickly as possible.
Su Jin smiled and said, "I asked Sister Wanrong and came here specifically to see how your recovery is going."
Kong Daqing was somewhat flattered. "Come inside quickly! It's too cold outside!"
While warmly greeting Su Jin, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Liang behind him.
"Boss, who is this comrade?"
Some women of Kong Daqing’s age stood in the room, feeling awkward and nervous at the sight of strangers.
Kong Daqing did not answer his wife Feng Xiue's question, but instead began to introduce Su Jin.
“Miss Su, this is my wife. She’s a country woman and hasn’t seen much of the world, so please don’t look down on her.”
Su Jin still wore a kind smile and took the initiative to extend her hand to Feng Xiu'e.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Su Jin."
Feng Xiue hurriedly wiped her hands on her clothes twice before cautiously extending her hand.
"Miss Su, please have a seat." Kong Daqing greeted her while reminding Feng Xiue, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and make some tea for Miss Su!"
Su Jin glanced around the room.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the house was bare, but although it was simple, it was very clean.
"Master Kong, please don't bother, I'll just sit for a bit and then leave. How's your injury?"
Their gaze fell on Kong Daqing's right hand, which was wrapped up.
"This is just a minor injury, nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, Miss Su."
The more indifferent Kong Daqing acted, the more uneasy Su Jin felt.
She turned to Wang Liang, who was standing beside her, and said, "Brother Wang, could you go buy me some things?"
After saying that, he gestured for Wang Liang to come closer, then lowered his voice and said a few more words.
"good."
Wang Liang agreed without hesitation.
Having gotten rid of him, Su Jin visibly relaxed a bit, making it easier for her to talk to him later.
“Master Kong, I am very grateful for your courage to step forward that day, but I have always had a question in my mind.”
He got straight to the point.
Kong Daqing, unaware that something was amiss, immediately asked, "Miss Su, is there something you're wondering about?"
"When Nie Lixin attacked Sister Wanrong, Master Kong didn't step forward at all. Why did he choose to protect me under those circumstances?"
After asking the question, Su Jin stared intently at his face, not missing a single subtle expression.
Kong Daqing's relaxed expression froze instantly. After realizing what was happening, his eyes began to dart around unconsciously, as if he was subconsciously avoiding her probing.
