"Something did happen to that lass."
She moved to speak, but his words stunned her.
"Something happened to Qitong? What happened to her?" she asked nervously.
"I don't know it exactly. I called my parents, and they said that it involves a woman. Still, this time, that lass did get into trouble." He solemnly told her.
"What trouble did she get into?" She frowned, feeling worried.
"They said that she had pushed a woman down the stairs, so she was currently locked at home by her father."
"Pushed down the stairs?! Qitong would never do that! There must be a misunderstanding here!"
She defended her at once.
"I don't know much about this, too…" Seeing her become agitated, he consoled her. "Don't be anxious. She's fine."
"Mhm…" She felt a little relieved at his consolation.
Recalling her earlier bad treatment of him, she felt even more embarrassed.
