Chapter Thirty-Two Do You Believe It Or Not

  "Aunt Tang, are you okay?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng asked worriedly.

  "Xiao Feng, take me to see Peng'er quickly?"

  Tang Qiu immediately straightened up and grasped Zhou Xiaofeng's hand with a tense expression, saying anxiously.

  "Tang Auntie, I don't know where Little Peng was taken either. It's just that I'm afraid you'll worry about him, so I came to tell you the truth."

  Zhou Xiaofeng hung his head in regret.

  "Dear friend, why is your life so bitter! Heaven, please bless my friend and let him be alright! His fate has been miserable enough, don't torment this poor child anymore."

  Tang Qiu's face was filled with sorrow and grief as he cried out in anguish.

  Zhou Xiaofeng saw Tang Qiu's distress and worry, and as he watched all this from the side, his mind was filled with self-reproach. He couldn't grasp what to do next, and without a clue, he could only anxiously wait.

  "Aunt Tang, don't be like this. It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, Xiao Peng wouldn't have gone to hit Lin and gotten caught. Aunt Tang, just scold me, only then will I feel a little better."

  Zhou Xiaofeng finished speaking and buried his head, he didn't want Tang Qiu to see him crying. How can a big boy cry in front of a woman? The ancient saying goes well 'A man has tears but does not easily shed them', as a man, one should not show weakness in front of others, as a man, one should hold up the sky. This is the code of being a man.

  "Xiao Feng, don't blame yourself too much. It's also Peng'er's fate!"

  Tang Qiu saw Zhou Xiaofeng's self-blame and didn't want to let the child feel too much pressure. After all, this was a playmate who had grown up with Chen Pengpeng since childhood. In her younger years, she had already regarded Zhou Xiaofeng as her own son, and she didn't want him to feel guilty about such things. She could only suppress her emotions and comfort him.

  "Tang Aunt..."

  Zhou Xiaofeng could no longer hold back his emotions, and he rushed into Tang Qiu's arms, crying out loud. He didn't expect that not only did Tang Qiu not blame him, but also comforted him. He was truly moved, and for a moment, the uncontrollable tears gushed out like a fountain. It is said that men have tears but do not easily shed them, it's just that they haven't reached the point of heartbreak yet...

  Tang Qiu looked at the boy in her arms who was wailing loudly, and her heart was filled with affection. She gently stroked Zhou Xiaofeng's hair with her hand, and tears also welled up in her eyes.

  "It's okay, little Feng. You're a big boy now! Still making a fool of yourself in front of Aunt Tang."

  Tang Qiu said with a smile to cover up his worries.

  "Uh-huh. Aunt Tang, Xiaofeng didn't cry, Xiaofeng just...just..."

  Zhou Xiaofeng wanted to explain something, but after saying a few more sentences, he still couldn't get it out.

  "Alright, let's stop just standing around and go inside to think of a solution!"

  Tang Qiu spoke up to stop Zhou Xiao Feng's words, in order to avoid his embarrassment. If Tang Qiu hadn't spoken up, it would have been hard for Zhou Xiao Feng to cover up his ugly behavior, fortunately Tang Qiu understood.

  When Tang Qiu and Zhou Xiaofeng returned to the house, Zhou Xiaofeng's feet kept moving back and forth on the ground, as if he really couldn't think of a good solution. Tang Qiu sat on a small stool, thinking about things, but it was unclear what she was thinking about. Occasionally, her eyebrows would furrow slightly. It seemed that she wanted to make some decision, but didn't dare to make up her mind.

  "Should I go find my father for help? If I do, then everyone will know that I'm not dead. Then my father and the others will definitely call people to bring me back, and if they do, the Chens will find out. If that happens, my father and the others will definitely clash with them, what should I do?"

  Tang Qiu was at a loss for what to do, her mind filled with worries. She didn't know whether she should go or not, as going might put her family in danger, but not going meant that Chen Pengpeng would be left without help. All sorts of concerns had this gentle and weak woman, who was already a mother, feeling very torn.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  A few knocks on the door broke Tang Qiu's long contemplation, and even Zhou Xiaofeng, who had been pacing back and forth, stopped in his tracks.

  "Who is it?"

  Tang Qiu opened his mouth and asked.

  "Hello, is this Chen Pengpeng's home?"

  A pretty girl like an angel outside the door said softly.

  Tang Qiu and Zhou Xiaofeng were both bewildered when they heard the girl's voice, unable to fathom why a girl would be visiting their home. Normally, only Wang Dama and Zhou Xiaofeng came to his house for visits, so how could there be a girl coming to his house today? Tang Qiu was full of doubts.

  "Maybe he's here to find his friend, ah! But his friend is now..."

  Tang Qiu secretly thought to himself that whenever he thought of his son being taken away by the police, his heart would be filled with a strange and inexplicable worry, and he had no idea how his son was doing now.

  "Ouch!"

  Tang Qiu stood up and went to open the door. As she opened the door, her eyes froze there for a moment. At the same time, Zhou Xiaofeng's pupils dilated and then shrunk, as if he had seen an alien or something.

  "What... what brings you here?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly asked, which made Tang Qiu feel very suspicious. He looked at the beautiful girl with a melon-shaped face and big eyes in front of him, then turned back to Zhou Xiaofeng with suspicion. Did you two know each other?

  "Zhou Xiaofeng, you're here too? Hehe, I came to find this aunt. You don't have to be so surprised, do you?"

  The pretty girl blinked her big eyes and smiled.

  "Huh? Jia Jing you came looking for Chen Peng? It seems like he's not familiar with you? We've only met once in the school cafeteria, right?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng felt particularly depressed, and at that time, he went to the school cafeteria with Chen Pengpeng for dinner and met Wei Linlin, so they sat together for dinner. At that time, it was also introduced by Wei Linlin that he got to know the beautiful girl in front of him. So when Wen Jingjing suddenly arrived, how could he not be surprised?

  "Hehe, running into each other like this is fate!"

  Jia Jing's face was still smiling, which made Zhou Xiaofeng feel dizzy for a moment.

  Good heavens! Is this still the quiet girl I saw that day? Heaven, strike me down and let me know I'm not dreaming! Zhou Xiaofeng's eyeballs were about to fall out, he had never seen such a stunning Jingjing before, and today was his first time!

  "You... you?"

  Tang Qiu listened to their conversation beside them, making her completely bewildered, and could only use her fingers to point back and forth between the two of them.

  "Oh, Aunt Tang, this is a long story, I'll just tell you. Her name is Jia Jingjing and she's also Xiaopeng's classmate."

  Zhou Xiaofeng saw Tang Qiu's confusion and took the initiative to introduce himself.

  "Oh, excuse me, are you looking for Peng'er? He's not at home right now. He..."

  Tang Qiuyue mentioned Chen Peng, and Chen Peng's heart was filled with a pang of sadness. For a moment, she couldn't say anything. She couldn't possibly say that Chen Peng had been taken away by the police, could she? What kind of thoughts would that give people? Who knows how it would end up? And especially since it was Tang Qiuyue!

  "Oh, Aunt Tang. I knew it, hehe. That's why I came looking for you about Chen Pengpeng!"

  Jia Jingjing blinked those beautiful big eyes and said.

  "What? I didn't mishear, did I? You can save Xiaopeng? Don't try to deceive people anymore."

  Zhou Xiaofeng knew what Jia Jingjing was saying as soon as he heard her words. Needless to say, who in the school didn't know when Chen Pengpeng was caught? The whole school was talking about how awesome Chen Pengpeng was.

  "Ah! Is what Xiaofeng said true? Can you really rescue Peng'er?"

  Tang Qiu's heart was like grasping a lifesaving straw when she heard Zhou Xiaofeng say that he could save Chen Pengpeng. Her heart was filled with excitement and sweat, but it seemed that Zhou Xiaofeng was just trying to deceive her, and hadn't said for sure if it was true! Women all over the world are like this, brainless and flustered when something happens.

  "Ah! You're Tang Auntie, right? I came here to tell you not to worry, I can bring Chen Pong out. I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't worry."

  Jia's expression was firm and unwavering. That kind of expression can't be faked, if it couldn't be done, who would casually come to tell you this boring news? Wouldn't that be just looking for trouble with a full stomach?

  "Jia Jingjing, don't be so stubborn, okay? I have high blood pressure!"

  Zhou Xiaofeng seemed to have misheard, and involuntarily used his hand to forcefully twist his own cheek. (Damn it, this kid looks like he's asking for a beating, can't he not use that expression to scold people?! After all, I'm here to help, right? This is the author's note, haha~~~ If you're not satisfied, you can give him two punches.)

  "Hum! You believe it or not, I just came to say a word to Aunt Tang, and it's not for you to hear!"

  Jia Jingjing really couldn't stand Zhou Xiaofeng's behavior and hummed in disapproval.

  "Girl, don't compare yourself with Xiaofeng. He's just a child!"

  Tang Auntie saw Wen Jing's pouting mouth and quickly turned her head to glare at Zhou Xiaofeng.

  "Hehe, Aunt Tang, you don't have to call me 'young lady' anymore, I'm also a classmate of Chen Pengpeng's!"

  Jia Jing's face changed faster than the weather, and in front of Tang Qiu, she had a lovely appearance.

  Zhou Xiaofeng almost foamed at the mouth when he saw Wen Jingjing's petite and lovely appearance. What kind of fairy is this girl?! It seems that Chen Pengpeng has nothing to do with you, so why did she automatically come running over? When did beautiful girls become so worthless?!

  "Oh, oh... I'll trouble you with Xiao Jing's friend's matter. When he comes back, I'll have her thank you in person."

  Tang Qiu said very sincerely.

  "Hehe, Aunt Tang, you don't have to thank me like that, I'm his classmate too. Helping out a classmate is what one should do."

  Jia Jing smiled humbly and quietly said.

  "It seems like Chen Peng and you aren't in the same class, right? And we've only met once. If everyone was as helpful as you, Chen Peng wouldn't have so many enemies. He probably wouldn't have been caught by the police either."

  Zhou Xiaofeng muttered to himself in his heart, this can't be said in front of Tang Qiu. Even if Tang Qiu wasn't there, he wouldn't dare say it out loud. Who knows what kind of face this changeable girl would make? Isn't that right? Originally at school she was as gentle as a little lamb, but now she's a mischievous and lovely girl, making people unable to figure her out! (Sneering in disdain, speaking ill of such a pretty and lovely girl behind her back! You're going to get beaten to death!)

  "Xiao Jing, you're not getting any special treatment here. I just happened to buy some vegetables at the market, so let's just have dinner here tonight?"

  Tang Qiu heard that her son could be rescued, and the big stone in her heart finally fell. She spoke out to beg.
