I turned the pillow over, turned the bed over, and still couldn't find the rings.
That's impossible. When I came in just now, there were some things thrown on the bed, but the pillow hadn't been touched. The ring couldn't have been taken away by Hai Tang's people. Where did the ring go??
I lay on the floor and looked under the bed. I also searched all the places where I usually hid my money and valuables.
Oh my god! My head was spinning, and I didn't dare think about the consequences, because I didn't know how serious the consequences were.!
I sat on the bed with my head in my hands and tried to analyze it. If Hai Tang's men had taken it away, what a great opportunity it would have been. Hai Tang could have said in front of Fu Jing that I stole the ring, but he didn't.
If this ring was taken away by someone who wanted money, it would be fine if he sold it for money. I would take it as a missing ring, it has nothing to do with me.
But then Fu Jing's marriage would be affected. I didn't feel happy at all, I just felt irritated. Why did I always draw a line with him?!
My hair grabbing hand accidentally touched my chin, and a sharp pain woke me up. I suddenly looked up at the wall connected to the second bedroom. Could Ning Jing have taken it?
The door of my house was never locked. Ning Jing was free to enter my room.
But what did she do with the ring? She's not short of money. I really can't figure it out.
Knock, knock. "Xiao Qing, are you asleep?"
I ignored her. I heard her outside telling Jiang Miao that I was asleep, and then her voice became so small that I couldn't hear what they were saying. This was the first time in years that I suspected Ning Jing, and I even felt guilty because of this little doubt.
Many years ago, on the morning of the college entrance examination, I went to the examination hall with her and was stopped by a few ruffians on the road.
They dragged us into the alley, tore our clothes, hit us, and made it impossible for us to take the exam. I studied well then, and Ning Jing pushed me out of the ring to get me to take the exam.
She was forced to molest by the ruffian on the ground and hugged the leg of the ruffian who was trying to chase me.
I will never forget how much pain and tears she had in her eyes. At that moment, I swore to myself that I could repay her with my life in the future.
Because the college entrance examination was so important to me, I had to get out of that small town and out of my hellish past. I had to get into North city so that I could be free. Otherwise, I really couldn't live.
I ran out of the alley selfishly, but after a few steps I regretted it.
Ning Jing's family was no happier than mine. She also dreamed of getting into the big city all day long. If I left her behind and ran away, it would mean that she couldn't take the college entrance examination, and it would mean ruining her dream.
I bought a fruit knife from the store at the entrance of the alley and stabbed the bad guy who took off Ning Jing's skirt. They thought I was crazy and let us go.
That night, I kept thinking about our past. I couldn't remember how many tears I had shed. It was as if I had heard something shattering.
The next day, I asked for leave and didn't go to work. Ning Jing wasn't awake yet. I tried to open her door. It was locked.
I went to buy breakfast and woke her up for breakfast.
"Xiao Qing, does your jaw still hurt? I saw you shed a lot of blood yesterday." She asked with concern.
I shook my head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. What about you? Were you scared yesterday?"
"I forgot all about it after a nap." She waved her hand.
I ate a few mouthfuls and put down the beef soup in my hand. "Jing, we've known each other for many years, haven't we? I don't even remember when we started playing together. We all know what I've been living for all these years and what you've been living for. We've been living together in North city for the past seven years."
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Jing was a little confused and put down his chopsticks.
I pouted and took a deep breath. "Apart from my sister, I have always regarded you as the most important person to me, not only because we have a good relationship, but also because you tried so hard to save me back then. I have always kept that feeling in my heart. Last night, I did something that I'm sorry for..."
"What's wrong with me?" She stared at me blankly.
I pointed to my room. "I have a pair of rings under the pillow in my room."
Her face changed.
I continued, "Fu Jing asked me to send the ring to Hai Tang for a look. After I sent it to him, Hai Tang hid the ring and accused me of stealing it. That night, I took you to Hai Tang's studio to vent my anger and look for the ring. It was under my pillow. But before I went to bed last night, I found that the ring was missing."
"You suspect I took it?" She jabbed her finger hard at her chest, looking very angry.
I nodded and lowered my eyes. "I'm sorry, I doubt you."
Ning Jing threw the bowl down. "Who cares about your broken ring?"
After she fell, she went back to her room. I screamed sorry. She ignored me and shut the door.
I cleaned up the dishes and cleaned the house again. At noon, I didn't cook. I ordered two takeout dishes. I ate one and left one on the table. I told her there was food outside and I went to work.
When I got to the office, I began to deal with the things piled up in the morning.
"Secretary chen, president fu asked you to come to his office."
"Okay, thank you." I finished processing the files in my hand, tidied up my appearance and went to Fu Jing.
He was also busy in the office at noon, when I went. He leaned back on the sofa to take a nap.
I walked up to him and stood still. "Fu Boss, you're looking for me."
"Come here and sit down." He patted his side.
I sat down as he said, and he raised his hand to tear the bandage off my jaw. I ducked back subconsciously. He grabbed the back of my head with his other hand and tore the bandage off my jaw.
"It's inflamed." He said, as if talking to himself.
He got up and went to get the first aid kit. He took out the alcohol gauze and the bandage from inside, poured the alcohol on a layer of gauze, and then applied it to my wound. Then he added two pieces of gauze to it, and finally put the bandage on it.
"Thank you, Fu Boss. If there's nothing else, I'll go out first." My tone was distant.
Fu Jing didn't seem to hear me. "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." I smiled and stopped thinking about the unnecessary concern in his words.
"Lie, five stitches and say it doesn't hurt."
I didn't answer. He stretched out his hand to let me sit on his lap. I struggled to break free, so anxious that the line of the wound tightened, and the pain made me gasp.
I stopped struggling. "Fu Boss, I'm your secretary, not your mistress, not your mistress. It's not good for you."
"Weren't we like this before?"
The past in his mouth shattered my inner defenses, and the smile that I tried so hard to practice collapsed.
