Destined To Love You

Meng Ting looked up, with her fingers gripping tightly on the corner of her clothes.

The police said earnestly, “ How is there a misunderstanding? Chen Shuo was hurt badly yesterday and has to undergo surgery. We also went through the CCTV recordings that day. Shu Yang, please do follow us to the police station. If there is any misunderstanding, we would ensure your record would stay clean when proven innocent.”

Shu Yang, as a young teenager, had zero experience in receiving such questioning from the police. His face was pale white, however, after looking at his father and sisters, he nodded, “Ok. I’ll follow you guys to the police station.”

When the police decided to step out from the house, Meng Ting blocked their way.

Xiao Chen comforted her, “Relax, it’s just an investigation.”

The girl shook her head, said softly “It was not Shu Yang.”

The captain scowled, “How does a little girl like you know anything? We have already investigated the CCTV recordings. If it was not Su Yang, who will it be then?”

Men Ting pursed her lips, repeatedly said: “ It was not Shu Yang.”

She knew that Shu Yang was very scared at the moment. Although he has a cold personality and always kept his emotion to himself. He was just an ordinary 17 years old teenager that lived a normal life.

The arrival of police had attracted enormous attention in the neighbourhood. Residents were all interested in what was happening. Once the police arrested Shu Yang, the family would then have to live in rumours and gossip for a while.

The police kept questioning Meng Ting.

However, she kept quiet, thinking of the unruly teenager with black hair.

The tiny girl was still blocking the police’s way. Shu Zhi Tong was mortified, he pulled Men Ting aside and apologized to the police, “ I am very sorry. My daughter is still young, she didn’t mean to offend you. Also, my boy had always been a good student in school, he wouldn’t beat someone to that extent. There must be some misunderstanding.”

The police shook his hand with disagreement “Sorry, but the investigation still needs to be done. If he is proven innocent, we would release him immediately .”

Shu Zhi Tong, “ I am his legal guardian. I would like to follow him to the police station.”

The police agreed.

In the end, the police still brought Shu Yang to the police station.

At this time, Shu Lan finally felt scared, “ It’s not true that my brother would hit someone right?”

Meng Ting turned around: “Only now you realise how scary this is?”

“ You!”

Shu Zhi Tong urged them to attend classes today. Hence, they both can’t follow them to the police station.

Meng Ting rode on her bike, as the winter breeze blew through her scarf, she felt a slight chill. The air was cold and with a hint of freshness from the soil, mostly due to the heavy rain yesterday.

She was almost late, the class was already preparing to start.

Their language teacher gave instructions to take out their textbook and read Chinese poetry out loud.

For the whole morning, Meng Ting couldn’t concentrate in class. During the second recess, the class started to discuss something all of a sudden.
