Chapter 75 Confidence
The waitress was somewhat surprised. Not many people collected stamps nowadays; with that money, they could buy more food on the black market. However, it wasn't her business if others spent their money carelessly. She casually took out a dozen sheets of stamps from behind the counter.
"Hello, could you please find Wan Hui for me?"
A deep voice answered from the other end of the line. The telephone receiver back then wasn't soundproof; it was as if the call was on speakerphone.
"This is he."
Ye Shengge was surprised. Nowadays, phone calls usually required a transfer or someone being called to pick up. Being connected directly only indicated the other party's high status.
"Uh, I'm a colleague of Wan Qiong. Something has happened to her, and she might need your help."
The other party paused for a moment, then replied with a less than pleasant attitude.
"What trouble has she gotten herself into again?"
"Ahem, well, I'm just a messenger. She was found sleeping with a man today. That's all I know. I've delivered the message, goodbye."
Director Wei's voice was low and hurried. He hung up immediately. It was understandable; it was already difficult enough to discuss such matters over the phone.
As if to confirm this, the waitress opposite Ye Shengge stared with her exaggeratedly large eyes, not bothering to look away, her ear practically glued to the phone. Su Dan Novel Network.
Director Wei's face flushed as he was stared at by others. He cursed Wan Qiong a million times in his heart. He quickly threw fifty cents on the counter and fled, not even waiting for his change.
Ye Shengge didn't follow him. She was genuinely captivated by the stamps in front of her. Each design was unfamiliar to her, and even the stamps sold at auctions in her previous life weren't like these. It seemed this world was truly different.
"One sheet of each kind."
"Really?"
Ye Shengge left the post office like a spendthrift, carrying a stack of stamps.
When Ye Shengge ambled near Wan Qiong's house, the commotion hadn't ended yet. However, the voices coming through her earpiece were nearing their conclusion.
"Regardless, let's discuss this at the Public Security Bureau. Such matters must be reported to family and the work unit."
Seeing Director Wei return, Wan Qiong felt a sense of relief. Even if she were taken in, it wouldn't be so bad. The Wan family would never abandon her; at least, they wouldn't let rumors tarnish the family's reputation.
"Let those people out. I need to change my clothes."
The police officers on duty were puzzled by Wan Qiong's calm demeanor. They mused that she was either shameless or had something to rely on. Either way, it was best not to offend her for now.
"Everyone, please leave."
"You have five minutes."
Wan Qiong looked at everyone leaving and went to the closet to get a change of clothes. However, Ye Xingguo, who was beside her, was in a predicament; there was no clothing in the room that he could wear.
"Go find me some clothes."
Wan Qiong glared venomously at the man who had brought her such shame her entire life, daring to order her around. She intended to ensure he would never get out of this situation.
Wan Qiong didn't say a word. She changed and left the room.
"Wan Qiong, Wan Qiong, you slut."
As Wan Qiong walked into the courtyard, she saw a crowd gathered outside. Did she feel embarrassed? Of course. She knew she could never stay here again.
"What about the other person? Why haven't they come out yet?"
The police officer was becoming impatient, his tone a little sharp.
"He has no clothes."
Wan Qiong replied faintly from a corner of the courtyard, her expression somewhat dispirited.
"What a pain in the ass. Go find some clothes for him."
After Wan Qiong left the room, Ye Shengge could no longer hear anything. She knew that she wouldn't be privy to the subsequent proceedings.
