The time of the city

Chapter 111 The lie was exposed

That day, Song Fei said goodbye to the director as usual and left. It had been a few days since she dropped out of school, and in order to keep the orphanage from finding out, she continued to follow her previous school schedule.

When I go out in the morning, if there is a part-time job, I will go and do it. If there is no part-time job, I will find a place to sit for the day and go back in the afternoon.

But truth will come out sooner or later, and lies will be exposed sooner or later.

She went to the restaurant where she often worked part-time, and the owner told her that it was cold and there were fewer people coming, so she should not work part-time for the time being.

After leaving the restaurant, she had nowhere to go, so she walked and walked to the chaotic area again. She sat under the wall where Xiao Hecheng's graffiti was painted, looking at the various patterns on it.

But no new ones would be added to it anymore, and she recalled the young painter standing on the stool with high spirits in her memory.

He held a paintbrush in one hand and a paint tray in the other, his eyes focused as he painted without being disturbed by anyone. Over time, he had painted most of the wall.

After sitting for a while, a light drizzle began to fall. Song Fei opened her bag and realized she hadn't brought an umbrella. She ran under the eaves to take shelter, thinking it would stop soon.

"Trinity, Song Fei didn't bring an umbrella. I'll go get her one." The dean saw Song Fei's umbrella hanging at the door, picked it up and walked towards the school.

As the rain got heavier, Song Fei squatted on the ground, feeling cold and hungry. She had originally thought she could have breakfast at the restaurant while working part-time, but now that she didn't have a part-time job, she didn't even have a meal.

Suddenly she saw a pair of yellowed leather shoes stopped in front of her. She looked up and saw a middle-aged man holding an umbrella with a wretched look on his face. He smelled very strongly of alcohol, which made her want to vomit.

"Miss, do you want me to take you home?" The man smiled sinisterly and looked Song Fei up and down.

"No need." Song Fei stood up and took a few steps back.

"Then come to my house and have a seat." The man stepped forward, the smile on his face magnified several times.

"Ah" Song Fei screamed, pushed the man away and rushed into the rain. She kept running and running, not daring to stop at all.

She didn't stop until she was exhausted. Her whole body was already soaked by the rain, her clothes were tightly stuck to her body, and the wind was bitingly cold.

She felt so pathetic. Why did all the bad things happen to her? Mo Yu and Xiao Hecheng were both moving forward, but she was the only one moving backward.

Suddenly she wanted to find them, and the idea of going to City A emerged in her mind.

The phone in her trouser pocket vibrated. Song Fei took it out. It had the word "Dean" written in large letters on it. She didn't dare answer it. According to the usual time, she should be in class, and the dean would know. She just thought she had called the wrong number.

After hanging up the phone, Song Fei returned to her phone and saw several missed calls from the dean, which made her even more panicked.

Then, the dean called again, and Song Fei answered the call with trembling hands.

"Hello, Dean, I was in class and didn't answer the phone. Now I'm out of the classroom. What's the matter with you calling?"

After hearing Song Fei's lie, the dean took several deep breaths before he could suppress his anger. "Song Fei, how long are you going to hide this from me? You were expelled for theft. I'm really disappointed."

Song Fei knew that she would be discovered sooner or later, but she didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly. She was immediately incoherent. "Dean... I... I didn't do it. You have to believe me."

"Okay, there's no need to say any more."

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Song Fei could no longer support herself and fell into the puddle. The dirty water splashed onto her face and clothes. No one was willing to believe her.

Her eyes blurred and she passed out.

When Song Fei woke up, she found herself lying on a bed in an orphanage, with her good sister taking care of her.

Seeing that she woke up, the girl touched her forehead and said, "That's good, the fever has gone away."

"Trinity, I really didn't steal the watch." The welfare home was her last home. She was afraid that people here wouldn't believe her, so she wanted to tell everyone that she didn't steal it.

"Sister, I believe you didn't mean it. We are inferior to others, so it's normal to have such bad thoughts. But we must recognize our mistakes and correct them."

"So you don't believe me?" Song Fei squeezed the girl's hand tightly and screamed, scaring the girl so much that she dared not look her in the eye.

"Sister, the director said that you are an adult and no longer go to school. The welfare home has no obligation to support you. The director asked you to move out as soon as possible." After saying that, the girl pulled her hand away and ran out.

Song Fei opened her phone and saw a photo of her, Xiao Hecheng and Mo Yu. The three of them were smiling brightly and looked very happy.

Go to City A, where you can rely on. Mo Yu will not ignore you, and you have the person you love the most.

This time she must seize every opportunity. She doesn't want to live like this anymore. She's had enough.

In City A, Nan Feng was listening to an employee report in the conference room. The phone on the table lit up. When he opened it, it was a message from Yu Yao. After reading it, he angrily threw the document to the ground.

In an instant, everyone in the conference room held their breath, wondering if they had done something wrong, and the person who was reporting was even more nervous.

"The meeting is adjourned." Nan Feng walked out of the meeting room with his long legs and headed straight for the garage.

He drove very fast along the way, and he couldn't wait to return to the Qiao family's old house.

"Afeng is here, pretty fast." Qiao Zhengrong heard the whistle, then moved a chess piece, his face full of confidence.

Pushing the door open, Nan Feng stepped forward, grabbed Wu Kang and punched him, making him dizzy.

"Where on earth did you take Ayao's grandmother? Grandpa, whatever you want to do, come to me and don't involve innocent people."

Qiao Zhengrong picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Akang, this tea is good."

Wu Kang's face was swollen, and he wondered if his gold tooth had been broken. It was clearly Old Man Qiao who ordered him to do this, yet he was beaten by a junior like Qiao Feng, and he couldn't be blamed.

Mr. Qiao didn't even bother to speak up for him and even talked about tea with him. He really had no words to express his grievances.

But he immediately put on a standard flattering smile and said, "If godfather likes it, I will bring you some more next time I go to H City."

Seeing that the two ignored him, Nan Feng grabbed Wu Kang and punched him again, making both sides of his face swollen. "I'm asking you where is A Yao's grandmother?"

"Ah Feng has been getting more irritable lately. Look how badly you beat up your Uncle Wu."

"Grandpa, Grandma Ayao is the only relative Ayao has in the world. I hope you won't do such a despicable thing."

"Qiao Feng, I'm mean, you scolded me well. It's easy for me to let him go. Ah Feng, let's each take a step back. Grandpa doesn't want you and Lin Xiao to develop a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship right away, but you must behave well in front of Lin Xiao at the birthday party the day after tomorrow. And focus on your work."

Nan Feng was a little skeptical and didn't believe that Qiao Zhengrong's conditions would be so simple.

"A Feng, do you think what Grandpa said is unbelievable? To show your sincerity, A Kang called and asked them to release him."

Wu Kang reluctantly picked up the phone. Why was he being played like a monkey, letting him arrest someone one moment and then letting him go the next? He even got punched twice for nothing. You two, grandfather and grandson, are having a great time, but he's the one suffering.

Not long after, Yu Yao called and said that grandma had been sent back. Only then did Nan Feng truly believe what Qiao Zhengrong said.

"Grandpa, I will work hard. At the birthday party the day after tomorrow, I will make more business allies and become friends with Lin Xiao. If you're fine, I'll leave first."

After Nan Feng left, Lin Yuan called shortly afterwards.

"Mr. Qiao, I've been busy these past few days. I'm sorry I only have time to thank you now. I know you were the one who dismantled the news about Xiaoxiao. I'm really sorry for the impact on the Qiao Group. I apologize on Xiaoxiao's behalf."

"It's okay. I like Xiaoxiao very much. I won't give up my investment in the hospital just because the two children have broken up. The investment money will be in my account in a few days."

After hearing what Qiao Zhengrong said, Lin Yuan felt even more guilty. People outside said that Mr. Qiao was cruel and ruthless, but that was all bullshit.

"Mr. Qiao, I really want to marry into the Qiao family. I will try to persuade Xiaoxiao."

"It's okay, it's okay. Take your time. Dean Lin, I have something I want to ask you. I heard that your father, Dean Lin Tianxiong, once had a laboratory where they developed a drug that could hypnotize and control people. Can I go take a look?"

"No...it's all just rumors from outsiders. My father was an upright man, how could he possibly develop such a harmful drug? Even if there was one, my father has been dead for over ten years, and the material has long since disappeared."

"Oh, so it's just a rumor. Then I won't bother Dean Lin anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhengrong's face twitched with anger. "This old guy dared to fool me. It's obvious that he still doesn't trust us enough and has to continue pretending to be a good person."
