Cheating Marriage - C204

My hands trembled when I heard this reply, and the towel fell to the ground. I stared at Cheng Ruojun and said, “I’m not a criminal.”

He doesn’t believe me.

He still doesn’t believe me.

Cheng Ruojun walked in front and I followed behind him. I wanted to continue explaining but I also understood that my explanation would be useless. After all, Cheng Ruojun had already decided that I was the one who could do all these.

Why no one really believes in me until now, who else can I trust?

“You’re finally back.” The first person we heard after stepping into the living room was Du Lirong.

I looked up and saw that the living room was extremely lively. Other than Cheng Ruixuan who was sitting on the main seat of the sofa, Du Lirong was sitting on the single person sofa, and Xia Ze had returned earlier than us, he was also sitting there, with Li Zhen sitting beside him.

“You still have the face to come back?” Du Lirong said in a high-pitched voice, “Do you think that since Ruo Ruo is protecting you, you can do whatever you want?”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Du Lirong. She looks more haggard now than she used to be, and I wonder if she participated in the plan this time around. I think so.

My gaze landed on Xia Ze, he only looked at me calmly, not a trace of emotion in his eyes. Just like in the past, it had already reached this point, he still did not have a shred of regret towards me.

I swept a glance at Li Zhen, who seemed a little nervous, as though she had purposely changed her clothes before coming. Although it was still a simple set of clothes, she was still a little distracted by the small details.

She glanced at me, then lowered her head again, a gesture that made me uneasy.

“Shouldn’t you explain?” Du Lirong laughed and said, she probably felt that she was grabbing onto my sore spot, and was looking really pleased with herself.

“There’s nothing to explain.” Cheng Ruojun hugged me and said, “Originally, you all didn’t take this matter too seriously.”

I noticed that their faces had darkened, especially Li Zhen, who had a very scary expression. My heart was suddenly filled with uneasiness.

“Ruo Ruo …” I tried to push him away, but he held me so tightly that I could only look at them and say firmly, “I didn’t do it. I didn’t.”

Cheng Ruixuan looked at me as his brows furrowed tightly. I didn’t know what he was thinking, but when he looked at Cheng Ruojun, his eyes revealed a look of disdain.

I think in Cheng Ruixuan’s eyes, Cheng Ruojun is a man who doesn’t want anything for the sake of women. Perhaps, this kind of man is really rare in TV dramas, but if it was in real life, to that extent, he is just a fool.

“Ruo Ruo …” I couldn’t help but take his hand, and I thought we’d both have to face the situation together.

Cheng Ruojun lowered his head and looked at me, I thought that his eyes would be as determined as mine, but I saw evasion, I was really blind, I can’t rely on anyone anymore, I have to become strong on my own.

I calmed my emotions and told Cheng Ruixuan and Du Lirong, “That night when I was watching the monitor, I accidentally saw a person enter the warehouse. I knew that the warehouse was holding goods for the second day, so I went to take a look, but I saw clearly that someone had knocked me out, and I still have a wound on my head.”

Cheng Ruixuan and Du Lirong’s expression did not change, but Li Zhen, who was at the side, revealed a look of guilt. Why would she feel sorry for me? Was it because I was angry at Xia Ze that made him apologize to me, or was it because of something else? I suddenly felt uneasy, because I no longer trusted anyone regarding Xia Ze.

“How do we know if you’re telling the truth or not?” Du Lirong added sinisterly, “You’re a good friend but you brought a tape. The person on it is you.”

“It’s not me, it’s Tao Man.” I argued.

Du Lirong laughed. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and she said, “It’s because Tao Man is still recuperating at home regarding that matter. Her parents said that her mind was having problems, and you actually dared to push everything onto her.

Who was the evil one? I thought.

I shifted my gaze towards Li Zhen and said, “Li Zhen, you should be very clear that person isn’t me, right?”

I looked straight at Li Zhen, hoping that she would look straight at me, but she didn’t, she only looked at me once, then quickly shifted her gaze away, and said softly, “I can’t tell, but I heard from the factory that they found you on the stairs behind the warehouse, you were still wearing the black jacket.”

Du Lirong stopped there, she quickly followed up, “I feel weird, normally you wouldn’t even want to cook, but this time you actually took the initiative to go to the factory, I guess you must have some kind of dirty thoughts, to actually harm us like this, do you know how much we have to lose if they can’t hand over the goods this time?”

This is different from what Cheng Ruojun said to me. I immediately turned to look at Cheng Ruojun, but he avoided my gaze.

Why did it become like this? Why was I the only one who was fooled by them like a fool?

I felt like my heart was dying.

“Ruo Ruo, what are you going to do about this?” Cheng Ruixuan finally spoke, his tone was faintly filled with anticipation. After all, he had raised Cheng Ruojun for so many years, so he couldn’t possibly just give up.

Cheng Ruojun seemed to be able to understand the hidden meaning in Cheng Ruixuan’s words. He seemed to be very moved, as he turned his head slightly, as if he was considering.

“Think about it.”

After saying that, he sighed heavily. Then, he got up and slowly went upstairs. His figure soon disappeared into the study room.

“Ruo Luo, are you alright?” Du Lirong immediately walked over and grabbed Cheng Ruojun’s clothes after Cheng Ruixuan disappeared. He said, “This time the old man is willing to give you a chance. You must grab it.

Cheng Ruojun was grabbed by his mother. His eyes flickered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.
