737 Colored Hats
Su Jin’s mother looked at Zhang De. If going to the police worked, she wouldn’t have endured the years she let Su Beijiang bully her. It took great pains for her to get here today. She couldn’t let her son act rashly. She wouldn’t allow her son to get hurt.
Su Jin’s mother’s eyes were gentle as she ruffled Zhang De’s hair and said softly, “Even if we call the police, we’ll need evidence.”
“That person is very smart. He never left any evidence behind.”
“He is of high status and authority. We’re no match for him.”
“I only want you and your sister to be safe and sound. That’s enough for me.”
“Son, listen to me. Don’t make a fuss, okay?”
Zhang De saw the sadness in his mother’s eyes and kept quiet. Since his mother knew the president, why would she be afraid of that person? Could that person be more powerful than the president? Otherwise, his mother could just ask the president for help to solve the problem, right?
After some quiet contemplation, Zhang De nodded his head and said to his mother, “Alright, Mom.”
“I won’t be like this anymore. I’ll protect my identity and not let others know.”
As he spoke, Zhang De took the envelope from his mother. Whether he could save Su Jin now depended on this letter. If this still didn’t work, he would have to find another way. At the very least, he could reduce Su Jin’s suffering. This shouldn’t be a problem with his uncle’s help and his mother’s letter.
Zhang De said as he held the envelope, “Mom, I’ll bring the letter to Uncle.”
“I will tell Uncle that I’m Su Jin’s classmate. I won’t say anything else.”
Su Jin’s mother heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Zhang De’s identity was still safe based on the current situation. She couldn’t risk exposing his identity on an impulse, and inadvertently invite that person’s endless pursuit.
Su Jin’s mother’s eyes were teary, but she revealed a strong smile as she said, “Good boy. Sorry to trouble you.”
“I know you feel indignant but bear with it.”
Zhang De didn’t say more. Since he had promised his mother to keep his identity a secret, he must keep his word. He also didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for his mother. Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before he could reunite with his sister and uncle. Zhang De nodded, then turned and left.
At the detention center, Yu Haiyang brought two large bags of snacks and some drinks to Su Jin. Yu Haiyang thought for a long time but still didn’t know how he should tell Su Jin when they met. If he told her directly, she might not be able to accept it. After all, his uncle was such a jerk. At the same time, he couldn’t not tell her.
Yu Haiyang was out of ideas, so he tried hinting, “Sister Su, did you notice that the weather’s getting colder?”
“How about I give you a few colored hats?”
Su Jin looked at Yu Haiyang in confusion. Was this kid so worried that he had gone insane? How could this weather be cold? He wanted to give her hats? Did Yu Haiyang want her to die from heat at the detention center?
However, since Yu Haiyang brought her food, she decided not to fight with him. Su Jin replied in puzzlement, “Are you unwell?”
“You think this weather is cold?”
“I also never wear hats.”
Yu Haiyang knew that Su Jin wouldn’t get it immediately, but he couldn’t say it directly. After all, he wouldn’t be able to accept such a thing if it happened to him. His uncle had been away for so long and was with that vixen the whole time. He had even brought her home!
Yu Haiyang frowned and continued to hint at Su Jin in a flustered manner, “I know, you don’t want to wear a hat either.”
“But someone tried to make you wear one.”
Yu Haiyang beat around the bush, not daring to say that the someone was his uncle. Given his uncle’s temper, Yu Haiyang’s tongue might really be cut off if he said it. Yu Haiyang was really afraid of his uncle’s angry look.
Su Jin still did not get the hidden meaning behind Yu Haiyang’s words. She replied helplessly, “The weather is so hot. Who’s trying to make me wear a hat?”
“Is that person too free?”
Yu Haiyang cleared his throat awkwardly. His hinting didn’t seem to work but he had to tell Su Jin about this, or she would never find out once his uncle hid away the vixen.
Yu Haiyang stole a glance at Su Jin, offered the snacks he brought to her and asked carefully, “Sister Su, take a good look at the color of this bottle.”
