"Xiao, did something happen?" Ruan Xueling scrutinized Gu Pei's injuries, her suspicion evident.
"No, Jin and Pei are both good kids," Xiao Yize reassured her, having caught wind of the situation upon his arrival at the police station.
However, uncertain if Gu Jin wished to disclose the incident to her parents, he chose not to broach the topic. If Gu Jin found it burdensome and preferred to keep it quiet, he would respect her wishes.
After administering first aid, Gu Pei straightened up, displaying a sense of accountability before Ruan Xueling. "Mom, it's not Gu Jin's fault. It's all on me."
Ruan Xueling responded firmly, "We don't hold Jin responsible."
Gu Pei struggled to voice his defense for Gu Jin, the words catching in his throat.
Was he the true jester in this play?
Angrily, Ruan Xueling demanded, "Tell me, what's happening between you and your girlfriend?"
