162 Strangeness
When Jing Yan opened his eyes, he was already in He Miao’s small rented apartment. He sniffed the faint milky fragrance, which seemed to drive away all his fatigue in an instant.
He leaned on He Miao’s arm, pleased, and stared at her serious expression without blinking.
He Miao had also just returned home. She had not even had time to eat before she collapsed on the sofa in exhaustion, not wanting to get up.
In order to avoid the dangerous incident that happened at her house last time, she did not dare to work too late at school.
He Miao closed her eyes to clear her mind and rest for a while before opening her eyes again. She felt a furry little thing on her arm as a pillow. She patted it on the butt with a smile. “Onion, do you want some beef jerky?”
“Woof!” Jing Yan agreed, his tail wagging left and right, showing his happiness.
After missing He Miao for an entire day, he could finally see her at night. Even if it was only for a few hours, they would meet in such a way.
He Miao rubbed Onion’s head, got up, and went to the table to get some beef jerky. She personally fed it piece by piece.
He Miao’s stomach felt empty as he watched the puppy enjoy the food. After she was done with Onion, she went to the kitchen to boil some water and made a bowl of instant noodles to fill her stomach.
Jing Yan stared at her back unhappily. He did not expect this woman to be so good at fooling him. After a busy day, she should have eaten some nutritious food to nourish her body, but she did not take care of herself seriously.
Jing Yan thought to himself that he would personally supervise He Miao’s diet tomorrow. Since she did not cherish her body, he could only do it for her.
After the meal, He Miao took a quick shower and lay on the bed, scrolling through her phone.
Although he was angry, Jing Yan still would not let go of any chance to be intimate with He Miao. He clingily leaned into her arms and looked at the phone with her.
Only then did Jing Yan realize that such a thing had happened today.
All the comments online were insulting He Miao and her mother for being shameless. Jing Yan gritted his teeth in anger, but then he suddenly thought of something and froze. He turned to look at He Miao worriedly. Seeing that she looked normal and did not take the matter to heart, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he was not going to let these people off the hook. Tomorrow, he would ask Chen Mo to find out the source of the incident and take revenge for He Miao!
He had intended to comfort the girl behind him. Although she looked normal, what if she was just pretending to be calm and was secretly sad?
As he was thinking about this, Jing Yan suddenly heard the girl behind him chuckling for no reason. He quickly turned around and saw that her eyes were full of satisfaction. She looked happy when she saw the comments on He Wei’s homepage praising her for her magnanimity.
He got up in disbelief, put his two paws on her arms, and rubbed her stomach worriedly.
He Miao chuckled at the itchiness and quickly freed one hand to catch him. “Onion, don’t mess around. I’m on business.”
What business?
Jing Yan really wanted to ask her what kind of business this was and why she was so happy after seeing others scolding her and praising He Wei. Unfortunately, he was just a stupid dog who could not speak and could only express his dissatisfaction through pitiful “Wu Wu” sounds.
He Miao was thinking about something as she dialed a number on her phone. Before the screen turned off, Jing Yan could clearly see his own name on the screen.
He was so anxious to pick up the call and find out what she was trying to tell him, but he could only sit on the side helplessly, staring at the clock on the wall and waiting for time to pass.
At 11:30 p.m., Jing Yan woke up at his desk. The blanket on his body slipped off his shoulders, and the numbness in his arms took a long time to recover.
He could not wait to pick up his phone. Before he regained consciousness, He Miao was still in bed watching TV. Calling her now would not disturb her rest.
After the call connected, Jing Yan paused and asked tentatively, “I just found out about what happened on the internet. Do you want me to help you deal with it?”
The reason he asked this instead of directly throwing out the evidence to shut the media up was because he saw He Miao’s abnormal behavior. His intuition told him that He Miao might have her own well-thought out plan. If he acted rashly, he might ruin her plans and make her unhappy.
He Miao was surprised to receive his call so late at night. She asked in surprise, “Don’t tell me you’re still working overtime?”
“Yes.” Jing Yan did not want to lie to her, so he could only answer this question vaguely. Then he asked again, “What are your plans for the online rumors?”
Jing Yan knew very well whether He Miao was an illegitimate daughter or not, but his testimony could not quell the speculations on the internet. He still needed to produce substantial evidence.
As expected, He Miao’s side was also looking for him to discuss this problem, and she said indifferently, “I want to ask you for a favor. The information that I can find on my side is limited. I want to find direct evidence that this incident was orchestrated by He Wei.”
