"Think quickly, what was Little Jing wearing when she left the house?"
Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and shook her head.
"I really didn’t pay attention. You don’t suppose it really was our Little Jing, do you? If that were true, I... I wouldn’t want to live anymore."
As she spoke, Mrs. Xu began to dab at her tears.
Xu Wenming immediately said.
"Hey, it’s not confirmed yet. What are you crying about? Besides, I only saw a silhouette, I didn’t even see her face."
"But what if it was Little Jing? Tell me, what’s it mean for a girl like her, not coming home this late, not answering her phone? Tell me, what’s going on?"
"Do you think Little Jing is secretly dating some riffraff behind our backs?"
Xu Jing’s mother had already imagined many unsavory scenarios in her mind.
Xu Wenming waved his hand and said.
"Don’t let your imagination run wild. Our Little Jing isn’t that kind of girl. This isn’t confirmed yet, so stop talking nonsense. Let’s wait for our daughter to come home and discuss it then."
As they were talking, suddenly the front door was pulled open from the outside.
Right after, Xu Jing, looking neat and proper, walked in under the scrutiny of her parents.
"Mom and Dad, in the middle of the night, why are you sitting in the living room? Aren’t you tired?"
Having prepared herself mentally on the way home, Xu Jing acted very calm.
Xu Wenming and Mrs. Xu scrutinized Xu Jing from head to toe.
Her green dress was very neat, and her hair didn’t look disheveled; she looked quite dignified.
Mrs. Xu’s inquiring eyes turned to Xu Wenming.
Xu Wenming shook his head and said softly.
"That girl seemed to be wearing pants, it doesn’t look like it was our Little Jing. I was worried for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Updates are released by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"That’s what I’ve been saying, our Little Jing isn’t that kind of improper girl."
Mrs. Xu stood up and rushed over to hug Xu Jing, breaking into tears.
"My precious daughter, you’re finally back. Earlier, your dad saw a girl and a guy performing shameless acts in the alley, we thought it was you, it scared us to death."
"Little Jing, I have to tell you, getting a boyfriend is a very important matter, and the first time is all the more crucial. If you have a boyfriend, you must tell me and your dad, especially to hold your ground when it comes to boundaries."
"Mom, what are you talking about, I’m still a virgin, you’re making me blush."
Xu Jing pretended to be angry and stamped her foot.
In truth, she was really embarrassed.
At the same time, she was quietly relieved. It was a good thing that Zhang Xiaoshan had her change into a new dress; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to convince her parents.
The point wasn’t whether the parents confirmed that the woman was her or not.
The point was, the parents were not sure whether the woman was her or not.
Once suspicion arises about something, without a definite answer, it’s hard to let go of that thought.
If tonight they couldn’t completely rule out Xu Jing as a suspect, then her every move would surely be closely monitored by her parents in the future.
"Little Jing, why did you come back so late, and why was nobody answering your phone?" Xu Wenming asked suspiciously.
Xu Jing immediately showed a distressed expression.
"Mom and Dad, don’t even bring it up. I was at a gathering with classmates today and within the span of going to the restroom, I lost my phone, even my ID card. I have to get them replaced tomorrow."
"I’ve just bought this card with a new phone."
Xu Jing took out her new phone and showed it to them.
"How did this happen? Did you report it to the police?" Xu Wenming and Mrs. Xu asked nervously.
"They’re my classmates, how could I report it to the police? What if it really was one of my classmates who took it? Wouldn’t that be awkward? Forget it, it wasn’t worth much, I was planning to replace it anyway."
"I’m so tired, Mom and Dad. It’s very late, let’s talk about it tomorrow, I need to take a shower and go to bed."
Pretending to yawn, Xu Jing quickly headed back to her room with large strides.
"I knew that wasn’t our daughter, our Little Jing is so well-behaved." Watching Xu Jing’s appropriately dressed figure, Mrs. Xu’s heart settled, not missing the chance to scold her old man.
Xu Wenming immediately replied unwillingly.
"I told you I couldn’t see clearly, and you insisted on spouting nonsense, making me worry along with you."
"Let it be, it’s getting late, let’s sleep."
Putting their minds at ease, they calmly returned to their room.
Soon, Zhang Xiaoshan made his way back to Sea Dragon KTV.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, you’re finally back."
Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, an underling waiting at the door immediately approached him, looking extremely anxious.
"What, your boss didn’t die that quickly, did he?" Zhang Xiaoshan joked.
Little did he know the underling would respond with a look of sorrow, following up on Zhang Xiaoshan’s words.
"He’s not dead, but it’s almost the same."
"Huh, wasn’t he fine when I left?"
"You’ll know once you see for yourself."
The underling hurriedly led Zhang Xiaoshan upstairs.
