After dinner, Wu Jingrong and his wife went for a walk. Only Wang Xinrui and the servant were at home.
"Ring ring ring!"
The phone rang suddenly.
"Hello?" Wang Xinrui reached out and picked up the phone.
"Xinrui, what are you doing?" The person on the phone was Sun Jing from the archives department. The two of them are relatively good friends.
"It's okay, just wait..." Wang Xinrui said lazily.
Sun Jing said enthusiastically, "At seven o'clock, Modern Women will be shown at the Meihua Cinema. I was given two movie tickets. How about we go together?"
"oh……"
"Oh what, hurry up and pack up. Let's meet at the entrance of the cinema."
"I don't want to go, you can go by yourself."
"Modern Women, starring Ouyang Shafei, everyone said this movie is very beautiful, what kind of montage technique..."
"I'm a little uncomfortable and really don't want to go."
"Xinrui, your future Mrs. Wang is getting more and more assertive..."
"Sorry, I have something else to do, see you tomorrow."
Hearing the words "Mrs. Wang", Wang Xinrui felt even more uncomfortable. She hung up the phone in a hurry before Sun Jing could finish her words.
Within two minutes, the phone rang again.
The servant was wiping the tables and chairs in the living room. He walked over and picked up the phone, listened for a while, and said to Wang Xinrui who was sitting on the sofa, "Miss, I'm looking for your phone number."
Thinking that Sun Jing was in trouble again, Wang Xinrui flipped through the newspaper in his hand and said without raising his head, "Just say I'm not here and go out."
The servant hesitated for a moment, reached out to cover the phone, and whispered, "Miss, the voice sounds like Mr. Wang..."
Hearing that the call was from Wang Xuelin, Wang Xinrui immediately stood up and walked over. He hurriedly took the call and stretched out his hand to signal the servant to go out.
"Hello?"
There was silence in the receiver. After a while, Wang Xuelin's difficult voice came and said, "It's me."
"Oh, it's Xuelin, where are you?" Wang Xinrui concealed her panic and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.
"Xinrui, tell me, why?"
"What did you say?"
"Why did you report me? In your heart, is our relationship so fragile?"
"I didn't, Xuelin, what's wrong with you?"
"If you hadn't reported me, I would have been damned!"
"What on earth are you talking about? I still want to ask you. Do you know how worried I am after being gone for so many days without even making a phone call?"
Wang Xinrui knew that as long as he didn't let go, Wang Xuelin would probably be dubious.
Sure enough, facing the barrage of rhetorical questions, Wang Xuelin hesitated somewhat. Could it be that Liu Deli had made a mistake and that he had wrongly accused Wang Xinrui?
"You didn't tell anyone about what happened in the archives unit that day?"
"No!"
"Really do not have?"
"If I wanted to speak out, I could have reported it to the superiors at that time."
"But, no one else knows about this except you, how do you explain it?"
Wang Xinrui's heart moved. Since Wang Xuelin said this, it means that his knowledge is limited, and maybe he doesn't know anything...
"What do you want me to explain? My uncle said that you took leave and went to Peking. According to the time, you should be back tomorrow."
"...You mean, I'm not wanted by the Secrecy Bureau?"
"You are wanted? How is this possible? Don't listen to those gossips. Believe what the party and the state say. Everything should be based on the official reply. If you don't believe rumors, don't spread them."
"Forget it, no matter what, we both have a better time. You are unkind to me, and I can't be unjust to you! That's it, goodbye!"
"Xuelin, where are you now..."
Wang Xuelin was not a two- or three-year-old child. He quickly calmed down and felt that there was no need to continue arguing. He could just express his attitude, so there was no need to turn against each other.
From a personal point of view, Wang Xinrui has done nothing wrong. She loves the eldest son of the Wang family and is the chief of the archives section of the Secrecy Bureau. She is not a red element called "Fei" by the government!
Before Wang Xinrui could continue speaking, Wang Xuelin hung up the phone.
A busy signal came from the receiver, and Wang Xinrui was stunned while holding the phone. She felt equally disappointed and lost. Two years of love had been wasted. No one could pretend that nothing had happened.
As soon as the door rang, Wu Jingrong and his wife pushed the door open and walked in.
Mrs. Wu handed a bag of fruit to the servant and said to Wang Xinrui, "From now on, don't stay at home all the time. There is a lot of excitement outside... Xinrui, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Wang Xinrui put down the phone and silently returned to her room.
Wu Jingrong thought for a moment and said to the servant, "Who did the lady talk to on the phone just now?"
"Oh, it seems to be Mr. Wang." the servant replied,
Mrs. Wu quickly asked, "Did Xuelin call? What did they talk about?"
The servant said, "The lady asked me to go out. I don't know what they talked about."
"How long have you been chatting?"
"About ten minutes..."
"Great, the two must have reconciled, otherwise how could they have talked for so long... Jingrong, are you right?" Mrs. Wu said with joy.
Wu Jingrong walked out of the living room, went straight to Wang Xinrui's room, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.
"Uncle." Wang Xinrui stood up.
Wu Jingrong glanced at her and said, "Did Wang Xuelin call?"
"Um."
"Where is he?"
"I don't know, he didn't say."
"What did you all say?"
"Xuelin accused me of reporting him, but he just made a few complaints..."
"You admitted it?"
"No."
"Does Wang Xuelin believe it?"
"He must be dubious."
Wu Jingrong murmured, "Strange, how did he know about your report on Wang Xuelin..."
Wang Xinrui hesitated for a while and whispered, "Uncle, listen to Xuelin's tone. He will never come back. Just...just let him go."
Wu Jingrong's eyes flashed, he looked Wang Xinrui up and down, and said coldly, "Let him go? According to past experience, he will definitely be sent to work elsewhere. Can you guarantee that he will not be arrested? If Wang Xuelin is arrested
, what does it mean to us?”
Wang Xinrui lowered his head and remained speechless.
Wu Jingrong sighed softly, sat down slowly on the chair, and said, "Xinrui, listen to my uncle's advice and don't be fooled by it. This Wang Xuelin is a time bomb that may detonate at any time! For our sake
To ensure safety, he must completely disappear from this world!"
Wang Xinrui was silent for a while and muttered, "But we don't know where he is..."
"This is easy to handle. If the call comes from out of town, it will be manually transferred by the telephone office operator. I will go to the telephone office now to find out!"
Wu Jingrong stood up and took two steps, stood there and pondered for a long time, then turned around and said, "However, Wang Xuelin is not that stupid. He may be using a public phone, so if you want to find him within a general area, you have to walk around in person."
