Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: So Disappointed

In the alley near Jinghua University, Gu Hang finally gathered the courage to find Sun Rou. But before he could see her, he noticed that the shop hadn’t opened and Sun Rou hadn’t left any message.

Feeling something was amiss, Gu Hang decided to check Sun Rou’s residence. Having taken her home before, he knew where she lived.

The more Gu Hang thought, the more uneasy he felt. Sun Rou wouldn’t disappear without reason, nor be unreachable. Gu Hang was extremely worried. Eventually, through Sun Rou’s shop employees, he contacted Sun Qing who was at her company with her child.

Tang Yue was shocked when she received the news. She didn’t believe Shen Qingqing’s words, nor that Sun Rou was involved.

Sun Rou was meticulous; if someone obviously meant harm, she would never reveal Si Yu’s identity.

On the other hand, Shen Qingqing claimed responsibility herself, yet her words seemed to push the matter onto Sun Rou.

"It couldn’t have been Sun Rou. Lian Qingqing is so shameless, how could she act so innocent?" Gu Hang was worried about Sun Rou, staying at her doorstep without leaving. Hence, when Sun Qing and Zhao Xiang came over, Gu Hang already knew about it.

Shen Qingqing and Sun Rou were taken to a place, separated by two rooms. Sun Rou overheard Shen Qingqing discreetly pushing the blame onto her, and was shocked.

Over the years, Shen Qingqing hadn’t treated her particularly well, yet often helped deliver items for Shen Yunfei. Though their relationship wasn’t great, it wasn’t as distant as it had been.

Sun Rou sat still and spoke only of what she knew.

This matter wasn’t investigated loudly, just briefly questioned before letting them leave.

Shen Qingqing secretly speculated on the gravity of the matter.

Shen Yunfei received the news a day later, and Shen Qingqing’s statement remained unchanged.

"Brother, weren’t you coming to see me?" Shen Qingqing looked at Shen Yunfei with grievance, yet felt uneasy inside.

"Qingqing." Shen Yunfei took a deep breath. Shen Qingqing had caused a lot of trouble before; although Shen Yunfei lectured her, he also cleaned up her messes.

Now, though, Shen Yunfei just looked at her silently, saying nothing beyond calling her name.

The room was so quiet, it was unsettling, making Shen Qingqing feel even guiltier and uneasy.

"Brother." Shen Qingqing called out, unable to bear the continuous silence.

"Who exactly leaked this matter?" Shen Yunfei asked as his words fell. Not waiting for Shen Qingqing’s rebuttal, he added, "I’ll ask only once more; think clearly before you speak."

"You and Xiao Rou are both my dear sisters, equally important."

Shen Yunfei’s eyes were bloodshot. Recently, due to a major deal, he had been working tirelessly, sleeping only four or five hours, going to sleep after midnight and waking up by five.

"I..." Shen Qingqing lowered her gaze, about to speak.

Shen Yunfei said, "Qingqing, I want you to look me in the eye when you speak."

"Brother." Shen Qingqing looked up, facing Shen Yunfei’s bloodshot eyes. His serious and stern expression left her speechless about her previous statements to the police.

Shen Yunfei pressed his lips into a line, signaling her to continue.

"I..."

Shen Qingqing hesitated. How could she admit to being so bad?

This thought hardened Shen Qingqing’s heart. She met Shen Yunfei’s gaze, saying each word deliberately, "I didn’t do it; it was Sun Rou."
