Chapter 144 Courage
"Um...Ms. Jane, didn't you order a little too much?" Susan looked at the dazzling array of desserts and snacks on the table, and a drop of cold sweat slid down her forehead.
"Hmm? A lot? I think it's okay." Ms. Jane swallowed the soft and delicate cake in her mouth with a happy face. She said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, just choose what you like and taste it.
Isn’t it a happy thing to indulge yourself occasionally and use desserts and snacks as lunch?
If you can’t finish the food, you can take it away in the store to avoid waste.
Of course, this meal is on me."
"Hahaha... I can't bear to let you spend money. Let's just split the bill." Susan picked a chocolate mille-feuille cake and took a small bite. The rich and slightly bitter chocolate flavor melted on her tongue, but Susan felt a little tasteless.
"Ms. Jane, you seem to be in a particularly good mood since just now. Even your attitude has become more relaxed.
Is my story really that ridiculous?" Susan poked the cake with a fork and tried to test it with a look of shame and embarrassment.
"Oh, Miss Susan, please don't think too much.
I just found out that the person you are talking about is not the same as the one I investigated.
So I relaxed immediately. Of course, the investigation still needs to be done, after all, the report still needs to be submitted. "Ms. Jane took a sip of coffee and explained sincerely.
Ms. Jane, who had already realized that she was unlikely to get any real, useful information out of the wary sheriff, decided to stay because she wanted to listen a little longer and see what outrageous stories this Miss Susan could come up with in order to get rid of her relationship with the Snowy Owl.
I can't find out any information, but it's fun, so it's not completely a waste, right?
Ms. Jane pushed the recorder in front of Susan, folded her hands and supported her chin, looking at Susan with an expectant expression.
"Ms. Susan, could you please tell me more about your experience with your 'online scam boyfriend'?"
"...Ma'am, are you too lazy to hide your desire to hear gossip?" Susan put down the fork she had been using to poke the cake and sighed deeply. "There's really nothing to say.
Although I'm also a sheriff, everyone has been blinded by beauty. Susan thought about Bai Yu's exquisite appearance. Since Fu Fu said that the "brother" looked like Bai Yu, he couldn't be an ugly man, right?
After all, this little girl Fu Fu is actually an invisible face control.
"Pfft! That's right! I can totally understand it." Although Ms. Jane had not seen Bai Zhi's full face, judging from Bai Zhi's tall and agile figure and his deep-cut eyebrows and eyes, as long as he didn't have three-petal lips and buck teeth, Bai Zhi would definitely not be ugly.
"Then how did you meet?"
"He had suffered a hollow disaster, and I met him while I was giving him a statement as a matter of routine." Susan didn't hesitate to appropriate Bai Yu's experience, making the story flow smoothly and even more heartfelt. "I was kind enough to help him, as he was penniless and wearing shabby clothes at the time. It cost him a lot of money!?"
He said he would return it to me, but now he is nowhere to be found!!
It was then that I came to my senses and realized that I not only didn't know his address, I didn't even have his phone number. Our only way of communicating was through him calling me, and he used a public phone.
But I was so carried away by their sweet words that I didn't even think anything was wrong.
Ahhh! The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel! ” Susan covered her face with her hands, looking like she couldn’t continue.
"It's okay... Well, I understand. Sweet words in love are the most effective aphrodisiac." The smile on Ms. Jane's face remained unchanged, but her shoulders shook suspiciously twice.
Sweet words, hahaha!
It was really hard for Ms. Jane to imagine that the man didn't want to say a word because he didn't want to touch her body, but picked up such a beautiful lady and walked away. Once someone got close to him, he would retreat eight feet away and say sweet words to the girl.
"Anyway, that's roughly what happened.
He hadn't contacted me for a long time. At first I thought he had met with an accident and was very worried about him, so I asked my colleagues and friends to help me find him.
I was too stupid. I really believed that he was a very powerful person and was going to do something big.
But after calming down and thinking about it these past few days, I think that guy probably gave up on me because he couldn't get any benefits from me!
But it is really hard for me to explain to my colleagues now.
After all, the sheriff was scammed by a man online, and this incident would probably become a laughing stock for me for the rest of my life, so I kept putting it off.
Unexpectedly, it led to even greater trouble.
I'm so sorry!" Susan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked ashamed and guilty. She stood up and bowed to Ms. Jane to apologize.
"It's okay, it's okay! This isn't your fault, Miss Susan. You don't have to be like this." Ms. Jane quickly walked around the table to Susan and helped her up. She took her hand and said sincerely, "Everyone will inevitably stumble, especially in relationships. I completely understand your difficulties, Miss Susan.
Don't worry, I will remind them not to tell anyone about this when I submit the report."
"No! No need." Susan sniffed and said seriously, "I couldn't say it out of shame, and my colleagues had to waste their time to help me find someone.
It's time to explain to everyone that even if I am ridiculed, I deserve it.
Ms. Jane, there is no need to hide it for me."
"...Ms. Susan, I really admire your courage." After being slightly surprised, Ms. Jane quickly understood the significance of Susan's actions.
Knowing that someone is pursuing him openly or secretly, this is the best way to completely separate himself from the Snowy Owl.
A woman who is simply deceived may become a laughing stock, but she will also no longer attract attention.
"It can make a young woman willing to sacrifice her own reputation to protect someone...
[Snowy Owl], you really have made an amazing friend.
For the sake of this very courageous young lady, I will lend you a hand."
Ms. Jane's eyes softened. She had originally stayed to simply watch the excitement for a while longer, but now she was really moved by the sheriff.
"...I understand, Miss Susan. I will report the information you provided truthfully. Please rest assured,
I promise that no one else will disturb your life anymore." Ms. Jane lifted Susan's cheek, gently brushed her fingers across the corners of her wet eyes, and promised Susan solemnly.
"...Thank you, ma'am." Susan was a little stunned when she saw Ms. Jane being so serious, and then she showed an awkward and shy smile.
"This lady's attitude...
Could it be that she has some relationship with Bai Yu's "brother"?!
Wait, isn't that what I just said?! ! ! "
Thinking of this, the faint blush on Susan's face that she had been trying to suppress instantly spread, and even her earlobes turned red.
"Huh? How come you're even more shy now that we've said everything?" Ms. Jane asked with amusement and confusion, feeling the warmth rising from Susan's face.
"No, nothing. That's just..." Susan was really panicking this time. Although she had a bad impression of Bai Yu Fu Fu's "brother" whom she had never met, and she did this to protect Bai Yu and the others, she was worried that her fabricated words might reach the ears of the real person...
“Aaaaaaaaaa!! What did I just say!?! Oh, and she even recorded it!!”
"Ma'am, could you please delete the recording? Please!! This is the only request I have in my life." Susan clasped her hands together, held Ms. Jane's hand, and looked at her pleadingly.
"Hmm? No! This is a very important testimony." Jane finally reacted and smiled sweetly as she rejected Susan's request. Although she admired the young lady, she had no intention of seeing her in such a state of embarrassment and helplessness.
But the sheriff lady has made such a great sacrifice to protect her friend. How can this not be known to the real person and be moved by him?
Small Theater
Jane Du: I swear I didn't mean to watch the fun. I just wanted to help these "good friends" deepen their relationship. (The smile gradually became more rampant)
Susan: Ahhhhhhh! What did I say?
The rumor has landed squarely on the person who caused it!! If we ever meet again, how can I curse him out with such confidence!!
Bai Zhi: Ah, tsk! Ah, tsk! Ah—tsk—!! Am I wearing too few clothes? (Confused.)
