Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Crying Without Tears Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Crying Without Tears ng Chuyue ignored Zuo Tingting and said to the police, “I never touched that thing; I request fingerprint verification.”
Everyone…
“”
The college entrance exam was a major event in life, so the police agreed.
The verification results ca out quickly, and indeed, ng Chuyue’s fingerprints were not on it.
During the exam, ng Chuyue couldn’t wear gloves, so Zuo Tingting could no longer malign her, although she insisted that she had been frad.
Later, the proctor of examination room five and the other students testified together, saying Zuo Tingting had admitted to throwing the cheat sheet at ng Chuyue.
As for why the cheat sheet was on her, it was a mix-up in her panic.
How could she confuse a tissue with a cheat sheet when their textures are so different?
While everyone gasped at the absurdity, they simultaneously branded Zuo Tingting as hideously malicious yet as stupid as a pig.
Shen Ci did not hand in his paper early.
There were two students in the examination room who were his forr high school classmates.
Although he had not kept in touch after dropping out, they had been quite close before.
Zou Xiaojun, in particular, was prone to stage fright, and Shen Ci worried that leaving early might pressure him, so he stayed until the end of the exam.
After leaving the examination room, Shen Ci had a warm hug with Zou Xiaojun and Han Muyang, chatted about recent happenings, and made plans to dine together after the exams.
They waved goodbye and went their separate ways…
to their families.
Naturally, Shen Ci’s family was ng Chuyue.
Zuo Tingting had already been ordered to stop the exam and leave; ng Chuyue sat alone under the shade of a tree on a bench, waiting for Shen Ci.
Shen Ci approached her and frowned slightly, “…
I was caught by Shen Wenhao this morning.
It took a while to get away.
He ate a grape you gave him, and he might be in your store now, so I won’t go there.
I’ll just grab sothing to eat at so restaurant.”
Shen Ci planned to et Long Yue as his money had been taken by Shen Wenhao earlier in the morning and he was penniless now.
ng Chuyue shook her head disapprovingly, “That may not ensure he won’t find you.
Wait here, I’ll go back and bring the car over to drive you to the store.”
ng Chuyue’s idea was of course better, and Shen Ci, without being pretentious, nodded in agreent.
ng Chuyue took a couple of steps then looked back, “…
I better keep your admission ticket and other stuff just in case.”
Soone captured can escape, but if the admission ticket got lost or was torn, that would be troubleso.
Shen Ci willingly handed over his belongings to ng Chuyue.
ng Chuyue placed them alongside her own admission ticket and walked away briskly.
Shen Ci watched her charming figure, his lips involuntarily curving upwards.
ng Chuyue didn’t bring her car keys and couldn’t drive directly to pick up Shen Ci; she first went into her shop.
As she entered, her face darkened.
Shen Wenhao and his two subordinates were inside the shop.
One of his subordinates relentlessly demanded grapes from Tong Wen and Xia Ping.
“We only want the large, purple grapes you sold this morning, the ones as big as ping-pong balls.
We won’t leave without them, otherwise call your boss.”
Tong Wen and Xia Ping were on the verge of tears.
It wasn’t just Shen Ci to whom ng Chuyue had given a bunch of those large grapes that morning; she had also given one bunch each to them, as a free internal benefit, not for sale.
They had no idea why these people were after this, didn’t dare deny but only said they had run out, out of stock.
When they saw ng Chuyue arrive, they both breathed a sigh of relief, yet didn’t divert the trouble elsewhere but continued to explain patiently in fear.
“We don’t know when we will have more.
Our manager said even the boss doesn’t know, because these grapes are in short supply.”
“…
We aren’t refusing money; why would we lie to you if we had any?”
ng Chuyue didn’t want Shen Wenhao to recognize her, so she moved to a corner, pretended to be arranging fruit while loudly saying, “Xiao Tong, Xiao Xia, if custors ask about this morning’s grapes, tell them they’ve all been sold today, and the new stock will arrive around nine tomorrow morning.”
