My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 170: Do I care about that bit of interest?

Chapter 170

Chapter 170: 170: Do I care about that bit of interest?
"I’m at the police station now, and they say they need someone to vouch for me. You’re the only one I could think of, hurry up."
"Police station?" Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, "What’s going on?"
"It’s really unlucky, ran into an unreasonable little girl. Today, as soon as I got to the bar, I was mistaken for a pervert and sent to the police station, and this girl just wouldn’t let it go." Lu Xize got even more annoyed as he spoke.
After listening, Jiang Baizhou relaxed his frown, not so tense anymore, and just responded casually, "Oh! Isn’t it always like this?"
"..."
Lu Xize was speechless, "No, come on, you’re still mocking me at a time like this, hurry up and save me!"
"No time."
"What are you doing?"
"Getting ready to watch a movie."
Hearing this, Lu Xize nearly exploded with curse words, feeling that their revolutionary friendship was on the verge of breaking, he had to desperately salvage it: "Come on, I’m already in the police station, and you’re still watching a movie, can you even watch it peacefully?"
"Yes, I can."
"Where’s your conscience?"
"I’ll give you a suggestion."
"Go ahead."
"Call Uncle Lu, I think he’d be happy to help."
"I’m already hovering on the edge of death, and not only are you not saving me, you’re planning to kick me while I’m down?"
"Life is naturally short, you’re the one who insisted on taking shortcuts."
"..."
Next to them, Cen Jin couldn’t help but burst out laughing, glancing at him and rolling her eyes.
"How about this, if you come, I won’t ask for interest on the money anymore." Lu Xize clicked his tongue, humbly choosing to compromise and take a step back.
"Do I need that bit of interest?" But Jiang Baizhou quite firmly refused.
"Then how about this, I’ll cover the cost of that DSLR camera you were eyeing recently."
"On my way." As soon as Lu Xize finished speaking, Jiang Baizhou simply replied with three words and hung up the phone.
Cen Jin looked at him in shock, watching him calmly put away his phone, "I must say, you’re pretty sly!"
Jiang Baizhou turned to meet her eyes, "Did I ask for it?"
"..."
Cen Jin was speechless, "Alright, let’s go already! You just scored a DSLR camera from him."
Cen Jin always knew he liked cameras but didn’t care for photography, so she never understood what kind of hobby that was.
"What about the movie?"
"We’ll watch it next time, anyway, we have plenty of time in the future. Right now, Lu Xize’s situation is more urgent."
"Hmm." Maybe her phrase ’we have plenty of time in the future’ struck a chord with him, as Jiang Baizhou’s brows lifted, a hint of joy climbing onto his face as he drove towards the police station.
By the time the two arrived at the police station, dusk had fully set in. As soon as they walked in, they saw Lu Xize looking impatiently at them with his arms crossed, leaning on the edge of a table, rolling his eyes with a dismissive look.
Lu Xize slightly tilted his head, and caught sight of them just then. His entire face lit up as if he’d seen a savior, quickly walking over, barely stopping short of hugging Jiang Baizhou with tearful gratitude, "Old Jiang, Cen Jin, you’re here. Hurry and get me out of this inferno, it’s too painful."
He then tried to hug Cen Jin, making Cen Jin instinctively avoid him and raise her hand to block, but just as Lu Xize was about to reach over, Jiang Baizhou pulled him back, his hawk-like eyes flashing a sharp warning.
Lu Xize saw this, immediately withdrew his hand obediently, and with a smile patted his shoulder, "I didn’t mean anything by it, no need to be so nervous! Quickly, sign the paper so I can leave."
"Cen Jin...."
