Chapter 383: Chapter 383: No Misunderstanding

Su Ge took a sip of coffee at this moment and finally perked up.

Looking towards Mu Zhenzhen, she saw her staring blankly at the bustling street outside, her eyes clear like water, filled with melancholy.

Melancholy?

Su Ge thought she had seen wrongly and took a closer look, indeed Mu Zhenzhen’s eyes were full of profound melancholy.

What’s going on?

“Xiao Ge.” Mu Zhenzhen suddenly turned her gaze back, her face complex as she looked at Su Ge, “There’s something, I don’t know whether I should tell you or not, but I feel that I should, yet I’m also scared to tell you.”

“What is it?” Su Ge raised her eyebrows suspiciously.

What could be so frightening to tell her?

“Actually, I…” Mu Zhenzhen gazed into Su Ge’s eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally said, “My parents, they’re both in prison, I am the daughter of criminals.”

Su Ge was momentarily stunned.

Zhenzhen, who looked like a well-educated girl, is the daughter of criminals?

“What crime?”

There are many reasons nowadays for being incarcerated, Zhenzhen’s parents couldn’t have committed some utterly unforgivable crime, could they?

“Embezzlement and bribery.” Mu Zhenzhen lowered her eyelids, “They were imprisoned for bribery and embezzlement, sentenced to ten years.”

Su Ge was silent for a few seconds.

“Could there have been any misunderstanding?”

The crime of embezzlement and bribery can be serious or not; if sentenced to ten years, the amount involved must be significant.

She found it hard to believe, that Zhenzhen’s parents could do such a thing.

Right, last time Zhenzhen went to the law firm, could it have been because of her parents’ case?

If that was the case, there might have been some misunderstanding in her parents’ case.

Hearing Su Ge ask this, Mu Zhenzhen appeared slightly surprised.

She swiftly raised her gaze, staring blankly at Su Ge.

Xiao Ge feels that her parents aren’t such people, right?

Finally, someone believes her parents might have been wronged…

Sadly, there’s no chance to overturn this matter now.

A flash of despair crossed Mu Zhenzhen’s heart, she shook her head, “There’s no misunderstanding.”

Hearing Mu Zhenzhen say this, Su Ge also refrained from saying anything else.

Such a significant matter, if there was a misunderstanding, Mo Xingyuan would not just sit idly by, right?

Since even Mo Xingyuan can’t intervene, maybe there really was no misunderstanding.

After drinking another sip of coffee, Su Ge spoke again, “When your uncle and aunt are released, remember to tell me, I would like to visit them.”

“Thank you, Xiao Ge.” Mu Zhenzhen’s eyes immediately reddened.

Su Ge watched her moved expression and could not help but smile helplessly, “This is nothing to be ashamed of.”

But she was quite surprised that Zhenzhen would tell her about this.

Perhaps she felt that friends should not hide things from each other?

Even if it’s something difficult to speak about.

It could only be said that Zhenzhen truly considered her a good friend.

“Xiao Ge, knowing you, I’m really happy.” Mu Zhenzhen suddenly gave a bitter smile.

Just a pity, she met Xiao Ge a bit too late.

However, she would cherish the time she had to be friends with her.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore.” Su Ge glanced at Mu Zhenzhen’s coffee and pushed the sugar on the table towards her, “Add some more sugar, don’t drink the coffee so bitter.”

Mu Zhenzhen understood her meaning, didn’t say anything, and with reddened eyes, added some sugar to her coffee.

Su Ge, slightly unable to bear it, turned away her gaze, the imprisonment of her parents must have hurt Zhenzhen a lot.

Who knew that just as her gaze shifted, she met a direct, piercing stare.
