My Life with Narration

Chapter 443 - 435: I’m Really Not a Psychopath

The landlady could eat bitterness silently, suffering in silence, only able to be laughed at and use herself to ease the awkward atmosphere, cleaning up after her sister-in-law.

No one present was a fool, they just saw through it and chose not to speak out, at least Shen Yi’s face was no longer gloomy, the house had returned to a joyful atmosphere, and that was enough.

As for right and wrong, that’s a private matter, you can’t show an unpleasant face when there are guests at home.

So when Wen Jingqi and his wife returned, Lu Ran went straight into the kitchen, and until it was time to eat, no one mentioned the incident again, as if it never happened.

After eating in the afternoon, the group brought the little girl back to the city. On the way, the landlady finally spoke up: "Xiao Yi, don’t take my sister-in-law’s words to heart. I’ve heard from my brother that her cousin noticed you when you first came to be my bridesmaid. But back then he was still fooling around. In the last couple of years, because of my sister-in-law, he made some money following my brother. So he found out somehow when you came to Jiang City this year and mentioned it to my sister-in-law several times. That’s what my brother told me. You didn’t know Su back then, and as soon as my brother mentioned it to me, I rejected it. Who knew my sister-in-law would...sigh!"

The landlady sighed herself at the end.

Her sister-in-law’s cousin was indeed a close family member, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so keen.

But regardless of kinship, it was her sister-in-law who was wrong this time. Shen Yi was here for herself, and although their relationship couldn’t have been affected by this incident, she still had to say what needed to be said, at least showing some attitude.

Although she’s not good at business, she’s fine with handling people.

"It’s okay, I didn’t lose anything anyway!" Shen Yi, sitting in the passenger seat, said with a smile.

Tang Nan, holding the little girl in the back, twitched her mouth and laughed twice: "That’s right! Xiao Yi is so smart, how could she lose out? To be honest, I didn’t even catch on at first, it wasn’t until later during dinner that I understood. Xiao Yi, you’re something else. Now whenever Su is mentioned, you become like a hedgehog. If elder sister Sunny’s wife realized that, wouldn’t she be pissed off!"

Intelligence is a matter of degree. The sharp ones understood Shen Yi’s words immediately, the not-so-sharp like Tang Nan realized later, and the rest needed others to remind them.

Upon hearing this, the landlady couldn’t help but purse her lips. Although she didn’t initially understand Shen Yi’s words, she knew by her expression that Shen Yi was absolutely angry; it was later when her brother, Wen Jingqi, asked her to apologize on his behalf that she realized Shen Yi wasn’t just simply angry.

"My sister-in-law really can take on any task, and she’s not good with words. Opening her mouth for her cousin, really shameless. Don’t worry, Xiao Yi, my brother has already spoken to her about it!"

Shen Yi nodded: "Brother Wen is socially adept. Who knows better than I do about my man’s conditions? A person without boundaries can indeed make others angry. Forget it, let’s go home and see my brother, I wonder if he’s eaten!"

"Eww~~~ Gross!"

"Pah, exactly!"

When Shen Yi opened the door in the afternoon, she immediately saw Su Qing sitting in front of the computer, still watching the stock market and taking notes.

"Back already, had fun? What did Mama Jing make for you all?" Su Qing asked, closing the laptop silently.

"We ate really well. Xiao Yun caught a big goose and stewed it for us, ah, I’m exhausted, hurry and let sis hug you to recharge!"

As she spoke, Shen Yi tossed off her shoes and socks, and with bare feet pitter-pattered her way over.

Su Qing only felt a fragrant breeze and the next second, a soft warmth crashed into his arms.

Shen Yi then buried her head into his neck, took a deep breath, and made an expression of blissful enjoyment, "Ah~~~ Refreshing! It’s got to be pure from little brother!"

Su Qing: ...

Ever since they confirmed their relationship and got intimate, he fully understood what ’recharging’ and ’pure goods’ meant.

In the past, when Shen Yi said it, he was confused, but now it seems that Aunt Shen indeed has a slightly perverted side.

"Already charged up?" Su Qing asked.

In response, Shen Yi turned around, conveniently sitting in his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and slightly curled her lips: "Otherwise, what’s up? Sister’s having her period, you still want wired charging?"

Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He meant if she wanted a kiss, he didn’t expect Shen Yi to already jump to such innuendo.

Gotta say, close to red, near to black, being close to the landlady taught her no good. Now Shen Yi’s driving skills have improved rapidly; he’s afraid that in a little while, she’ll overturn the roles.

"Stop it, behave when you’re on your period, now you’re just being smug thinking I can’t handle you!"

"Yes, so what? Feeling angry but helpless?" Shen Yi teased.

She increasingly enjoyed this feeling, not only could she openly tease her younger brother, but now they had a justified relationship, no longer needing to hold back like before.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Su Qing shook his head. The stock market had started to rise, and since he had invested heavily, with ten times leverage, his daily income fluctuated by millions, leaving no time to eat.

There were so many things to do, and when he got busy, it felt like he was reliving the days when he edited videos alone in his rented room, exhausted and somewhat tired.

"Not eaten yet? You don’t mean to say you haven’t gone out all day, right? You’ve been like this since yesterday. You said you needed at least a month and a half for this money—is that how you plan to spend all that time? That’s not okay!" Shen Yi said earnestly, holding his face.

Regarding this, Su Qing was helpless. His workload was indeed quite intense at the moment, mainly because he had to check each stock, calculate the decline time and range, to maximize the benefits.

If he could get through this month and a half, he could call himself President Su in front of Shen Yi in the future. To stand tall in front of his girlfriend, he decided to straighten up after her period passed, but not now.

"Oh, it’s not that I’m not going out because of work, but because I’m afraid that if happiness comes knocking and I’m not home, it would be embarrassing. Happiness would be so anxious having come all this way; for example, if my sister comes back, wouldn’t she miss seeing me?"

Saying this, Su Qing scooped up Shen Yi with a startled exclamation from her, and the two of them tumbled onto the sofa, playfully wrestling for quite some time. Eventually, Shen Yi realized she couldn’t persuade him, so she gave up.

Throughout, Shen Yi never asked how his stock market activities were going, whether he made money or lost it.

Soon, time flew by to the 9th, the last day of the short holiday. Tang Nan had packed her things, bid farewell to him, and was sent to the airport by the landlady and Shen Yi.

After all, she had to return to the capital to preside over her company as the boss tomorrow.

The lazy woman was even lazier than him. The last three days, the landlady suffered greatly, saying that taking care of her own daughter was already exhausting, yet she also had to cook meals for Tang Nan, almost driving her out with a broom.

And why didn’t he go to the airport to see Tang Nan off? Because he had to visit the police station today. Old Zhao had personally called him, saying it was unreasonable for him as a forensic consultant to not have shown face for so many days, and at least needed to make an appearance!

Considering he was still on their payroll, he squeezed out half a day to visit.

"Xiao Su, your work attitude has been problematic lately, and I need to criticize you for that!" In the Criminal Investigation Department office, Old Zhao said, tapping the table with one hand holding a thermos cup.

"What do you mean, Captain Zhao? Has there been a tricky case in our Criminal Investigation Department again?"

Hearing this, Old Zhao looked a little embarrassed: "Uh... not really. Our department’s been quite idle lately, with no major cases; at most, there are more online fraud cases, so many people from other departments have been called over to help!"

"Since there’s no major case, it seems there’s no need for me to come as a consultant anyway. You agree, right? In that case, I’m leaving. There are important matters at home, pacing up and down with millions involved!" Su Qing said, getting ready to leave.

Seeing this, Old Zhao quickly waved his hand: "Hey hey hey, we haven’t even said much. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?

Isn’t it that Xiao Li said you were scared by Zhang Heng’s father, Zhang Guoxin’s matter, afraid it might leave some psychological shadow on you? Plus, it coincided with the National Day, so we haven’t contacted you recently. But now it seems you’re recovering quite well? Not bad, truly material for a police officer."

Su Qing: ...

He was hardly cut out to be a police officer. If not for Aunt Shen stepping in, he might still be stuck in that vicious cycle.

"Captain Zhao, just tell me if there’s anything. I’m fine now. Oh, by the way, Zhang Heng, when will he be executed?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao thought for a while before speaking: "As for him, even if it takes half a year, and given his dad’s recent incident, the judgment won’t come so soon. I heard he’s had a change of heart recently and wants to appeal for a suspended death sentence, I don’t know if that’ll work out. But forget him for now, the main issue is you!"

"Me?"

"Yes, fearing you might not cope well with the blow, our department has very professional psychologists. Don’t worry, they’re absolutely professional and can provide psychological counseling for you!"

Su Qing: -_-|||

"Captain Zhao, I’m really fine, mentally healthy!"

"Nonsense, I heard from Xiao Li that you seemed off on that day—it must’ve been your first time seeing someone die before your eyes, right? Us police have tremendous pressure, you must hold up!

In a while, newcomers will join our department, and by then you’ll be a veteran. You need to set a good example; maybe someday a colleague will sacrifice before you. Life can’t just stop there, so heed my words, and pay serious attention to psychological issues!"

[The shrewd Zhao Minghui thinks you’ve been traumatized and are a bit mentally unstable!]

Su Qing: ...
