Mao Jian frowned. "Mingli, do you understand anything?"
In the end, Mao Jian drove Ping Ping to the hospital.
I sat in the taxi, watching the exhaust fumes, feeling incredibly frustrated.
After returning to the company, Guo Hua leaned over. "Ping Ping is President Chen's daughter from the investment side."
I shook my head. "No way."
Guo Hua insisted, "Her family is well-off; the phone she uses and the LV bag she carries are both limited editions."
I had little interest in that.
But half an hour later, I still called Mao Jian. "How is Ping Ping doing?"
Mao Jian's tone was relaxed. "She's much better now; no need to go to the hospital."
I frowned. "Where did you go?"
Mao Jian replied, "I bought her some painkillers at the pharmacy."
"Ping Ping insisted she didn't need to go to the hospital, so I took her home first."
"Alright then."
I felt relieved.
Mao Jian came home very late.
As soon as he walked in, he excitedly said, "Mingli, Ping Ping is really a great girl!"
I was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Mao Jian smiled. "She cooked for me herself and invited me to dinner."
I couldn't believe it. "Wasn't she feeling unwell?"
Mao Jian said, "After taking the medicine and resting for a while, the pain went away."
"Her skills are exceptional; I really envy her boyfriend!"
"How come I haven't met such a wonderful woman?"
I glared at him in anger.
He grinned cheekily, "Strong Woman, you wouldn't understand."
After that, he often called me Strong Woman.
It felt like a reminder—I'm a woman and shouldn't be too strong.
Later, I noticed that Ping Ping and Mao Jian were getting closer.
She even brought lunch for Mao Jian.
One day, I got home early.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw them sitting together having a meal.
Mao Jian didn't even look guilty; instead, he provocatively asked, "Yu Mingli, are you interfering with the normal work relationships of your employees?"
I put down my chopsticks and stood up to go to the study.
Mao Jian was not there.
He actually left me alone; where did he go?
I picked up my phone, just about to make a call.
Suddenly, a noise came from outside.
I jumped in surprise, almost dropping my phone.
"Who is it?"
No one answered.
I walked to the window and looked down.
Under the dim light of a streetlamp on the first floor, a man's silhouette flashed by.
My heart instantly leaped into my throat.
Could someone be following me?
I hurriedly ran down the stairs.
The night wind was chilly.
It cut through me, leaving me feeling bone-deep cold.
I couldn't help but shiver.
I stumbled forward, trembling.
Faint footsteps echoed behind me.
I was terrified, my mind racing.
I dared not look back.
Shaking, I fumbled for my phone and dialed Mao Jian.
The phone rang a few times before finally connecting.
“Mao Jian!” I cried out, “You have to come save me!”
There was silence for two seconds before Ping Ping's voice came through: “ sister Yu, A Jian said he’ll be back soon. Don’t panic.”
Hearing her voice only made my fear grow.
Why was she with Mao Jian?
Why was she answering his call?
Before I could hang up, I heard her soft voice say, “A Jian, sister Yu called you.”
“I know, just ignore her,” Mao Jian replied disdainfully. “She just wants me to go back and comfort her, right?”
“I won’t fall for that!”
I was completely overwhelmed.
I quickly dialed the police: “I need to report an incident!”
After saying that, I took off running.
The figure behind me quickened his pace.
I shouted loudly, “Help!”
A few high school students passing by heard my cries and rushed over to help.
The man was subdued.
When the police arrived at the scene, they informed us, “He has mental issues; he injured a passerby a few days ago.”
I was still shaken.
By the time I returned from the police station after giving my statement, it was already past ten.
Mao Jian still hadn’t come home!
