Chen Lu tilted his head in confusion, a big question mark appearing on his forehead.
Just as he was wondering, Jiang Chao was suddenly lightly patted on the head by a policeman behind him.
"Be serious!"
The older policeman reprimanded them, then cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said softly, "Well, these two are the parents of the child your girlfriend saved, and they've come here specifically to express their gratitude."
"We also have some questions about the details of this case. Is now a convenient time to ask?"
Chen Lu then noticed that there was a little girl hiding behind the woman, peeking out every now and then to steal a glance at him.
He glanced at Liang Zhirou and saw that she was still wearing that slip dress, so he gently raised his chin towards the bedroom.
Liang Zhirou understood immediately and ran back to her bedroom to change her clothes.
The group was quite perceptive; seeing that Chen Lu hadn't moved aside, they stood at the door without intending to go in.
"case?"
Chen Lu suddenly noticed this word.
Isn't this just a story about a kind-hearted citizen, Mu Zhimu, helping a little girl who ran away from home return home? How did it become a case?
"We've confirmed that the person who spoke to Xiaoxingyan was indeed a human trafficker. If your girlfriend isn't here, the situation might not be good," the police officer explained patiently.
The young man's Adam's apple bobbed upon hearing this, his face growing even paler. He quickly extended a hand to Chen Lu, "Hello, my name is Shen Zizhen. Thank you so much..."
Chen Lu was still trying to understand the cause and effect, but she still shook hands with him.
"Hello."
There's no need to thank me, what does it have to do with me?
He muttered to himself.
Just then, Liang Zhirou came over after changing her clothes and was stunned when she saw the person standing outside the door.
"elder sister!"
Shen Xingyan ran into the living room shouting and hugged Liang Zhirou's legs tightly, "Did you propose?"
It seems that almost being abducted by human traffickers did not leave her with much of a trauma.
Liang Zhirou noticed this and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly without her noticing.
"I guess it can be considered a success."
She looked up and met Chen Lu's gaze. They smiled slightly at each other, their eyes filled with tenderness.
As Liang Zhirou answered the police's questions after welcoming everyone in, Chen Lu and Jiang Chao huddled together and whispered to each other.
"I really thought I had done something wrong," Chen Lu said with a laugh.
Jiang Chao patted him and whispered, "If anything really happens, I'll definitely be the one to find a way to get you out of trouble. Why would I lead the way?"
"Isn't your girlfriend socially awkward? The police officer originally wanted to call her to the station, but I saw that her parents kept saying they wanted to visit in person, so I took the opportunity to say, 'Never mind, I'll take you there. You can ask them any questions you have.'"
"She's not my girlfriend," Chen Lu retorted coldly.
Jiang Chao was stunned.
You proposed yesterday and are already arguing today?
Just as Jiang Chao stood there looking bewildered, Chen Lu suddenly reached out and showed off the ring on his middle finger, "She's my fiancée now."
Grass!
Jiang Chao cursed inwardly; he had just been trying to offer some advice.
"What's so great about having a fiancée? Your dad's already married." Jiang Chao spat at him. "Your ring isn't as nice as mine."
Jiang Chao raised his hand and said smugly, "A wedding ring, see that? A loser who can't even get a marriage certificate!"
The cost of his ring, including the design, is more than the car he drives now.
I must say, it really is quite beautiful; he and Liu Yan both really like it.
"What's the use of a pretty ring? As long as your wife is pretty, that's enough." Chen Lu glanced at him. "I should have mentioned it to you. This ring was a gift from my wife. She originally planned to buy it to propose to me."
"..." Jiang Chao didn't want to speak.
That bastard shouldn't be given the chance to talk back.
Before Chen Lu had finished venting his anger, he continued, "Don't talk about whether it looks good or not. Even if she folded one out of paper, I would cherish it for a lifetime."
"Shut up, you unfilial son!"
The two grown men exchanged a few words in front of the police, then stood aside and silently watched a few people chatting on the sofa.
Shen Xingyan's mother held Liang Zhirou's hand, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion, while the two police officers beside her also showered her with praise.
Liang Zhirou was so embarrassed by the praise that she kept her head down the whole time and couldn't say a word.
"Sigh, who would have thought that such a gentle girl had such a miserable life before?" Jiang Chao sighed softly. He was about to light a cigarette when he realized that he had quit smoking some time ago.
Despite being tormented by fate like this, she can still maintain such kindness and sincerity.
He felt that even if he asked himself a hundred times, he still couldn't do it.
Jiang Chao put his hand, which had been searching for cigarettes, into his pocket and couldn't help but smile wryly.
In comparison, what he experienced was hardly a setback, yet he still gave up on himself for several years.
If Chen Lu and Liu Yan hadn't pulled him out of his misery, who knows what kind of dejected state he would be in now.
How embarrassing!
He's not even as good as a girl.
Chen Lu gazed at Liang Zhirou's profile, remained silent for a long while, and then slowly said, "She has always treated the world with such gentleness, and the world should treat her gently in return."
"Actually, you are too."
"What?" Chen Lu didn't understand.
“If you were there, you would have been even more decisive than your girlfriend. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone down into the river when Li Sinian’s girlfriend jumped in.”
Having known each other for so many years, Jiang Chao knew exactly what kind of person his son was.
Chen Lu curled the corners of his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Jiang Chao suddenly tapped the ring on his middle finger with his fingertip and asked with a mischievous grin, "Will you still jump around in the future?"
