Jiang Ning hung up the phone and almost jumped up. She hugged Lin Chen's neck and told them the good news.

Wang Meizhu grinned, "I didn't expect it to be so quick. It was actually the mayor who helped solve it."

Jiang Ning was also puzzled. How did the mayor know about this?

In any case, the matter is temporarily resolved. We can discuss how to deal with Jack later.

Lin Chen drove them back to the capital.

After returning home, it was almost time to leave work. Lin Chen dropped Wang Meizhu off at the company and then drove to the kindergarten.

As soon as Wang Meizhu arrived at the company, Xu Yan came over to check on her injuries.

"That was terrifying! How could Jack hit you so hard? Did you call the police?"

"I didn't report it; it wouldn't have made any difference anyway," Wang Meizhu said truthfully.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Yan returned to her office and made a phone call.

More than half an hour later, Ross appeared downstairs holding a bouquet of roses.

The newly hired receptionist called Wang Meizhu down.

Wang Meizhu was startled when she saw Ross.

"You didn't send these flowers to me, did you?"

Ross pursed his lips nervously, then held out the flowers and said:

“My dear Miss Meizhu, I didn’t realize how much I care about you until I heard you were injured. Would you like to be my girlfriend?”

In the future, I will love you and protect you...

The receptionist was stunned; this sudden confession was like a mouthful of dog food for her!

When Wang Meizhu heard his confession, she was at a loss for words, her face a mixture of smiles and shyness, unsure of how to respond.

Having known each other for so long, she had developed feelings for Ross.

But she was all too aware of the gap between them. Faced with this romantic and amorous foreign playboy, was she really confident that she could make him love only one person?

She's heard too many stories of young girls being fooled by sweet words from foreigners.

"Ross," she said hesitantly, "I know you're great, and I like you too, but I feel there's a bit too much of a gap between us. Can we just be friends?"

Surprisingly, Ross wasn't angry about being rejected; instead, he said sullenly:

"I guess I was a bit presumptuous. Shall we go out for dinner together tonight, my friend?"

Wang Meizhu nodded, "Okay, my friend. But I should let you know in advance that I have a wound, so I can't eat spicy food or drink alcohol."

Ross smiled faintly: "I understand, I'll listen to you."

Although my confession failed, I was still very happy to have dinner with her.

The receptionist was utterly astonished as she watched them leave.

When Ross confessed his feelings to Wang Meizhu, it was like a prince confessing to Cinderella, and Cinderella rejected him.

Good heavens, if it were her, she would have agreed long ago.

At the same time, Lin Chen's car stopped not far from the kindergarten entrance.

The purple crown immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Ning went to pick up the children.

The children gathered around and discussed, "Whose car is this? It's so beautiful!"

Xie Miao came to pick up her niece today. When she saw that Lin Chen was driving, she thought she would show off in front of her niece.

"My colleague was driving, so I asked him to take us home."

Her niece clapped her hands: "Great, great, I'm going to take the car home now."

She walked to the car and knocked on the window. Lin Chen rolled down the window and glanced at her.

"Brother Chen, what a coincidence! Are you here on business?"

I just twisted my leg, could you please take me home?

She seized the opportunity to speak.

Lin Chen found it amusing and said coldly:

"Your ankle is sprained, what does that have to do with me? I'm just reminding you, don't stand next to a car with your child in the future, it's easy for an accident to happen!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning had already brought the twins out.

Amidst the envious gazes of everyone, they sat down in the back seats.

Xie Miao's niece watched them walk away, and burst into tears.

"Didn't you say we could sit? Auntie, you're going back on your word!"

"Ugh~ I hate my auntie~"

Xie Miao was furious. He had wanted to make a good impression on his niece, but now he had become a laughing stock.

After Jiang Ning arrived home, she received a call from Xu Yan, who said that the issue at the dock had been resolved and the goods had been loaded onto the ship.

She breathed a sigh of relief and called Robert.

Unexpectedly, Robert made excuses, saying that the business alliance Jack was in was formed by many powerful foreign companies.

They do indeed have priority.

He also advised Jiang Ning not to act impulsively in the future and to call him in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

If it weren't for her own phone, she would have smashed it.

Robert is always included in the profits, and he's quick to act when you need his help.

After a while, Ji Yang came over and asked her if she was injured.

Jiang Ning shook her head and asked him how he knew about this.

Ji Yang: "You're quite capable, aren't you? The mayor called me directly and asked me to investigate the situation and report back to him."

That's when I found out that Jack had taken over the docks.

Don't worry, foreigners' privileges are within the rules; no one is above the law. Regarding his assault, I've already called the police. Someone will contact you tomorrow to understand the situation; just tell them the truth.

Jiang Ning was most concerned about what punishment Jack would receive.

"He will definitely apologize to you personally for the assault. As for other punishments, given his status, there will be no other punishments."

"As for work-related matters, as a member of the business alliance, he should receive a small warning," Ji Yang told her.

Jiang Ning shrugged: "That's it?"

Ji Yang shook his head helplessly: "What do you think? He has a foreign nationality, a sensitive status, and the embassy is protecting him."

Jiang Ning stood with her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, picked up a cucumber, and took a big, crunchy bite.

Every pore on her body screamed that she was dissatisfied.

At that moment, she was only a little over a meter away from Jack. When he stabbed her, he really meant to kill her. If it weren't for Wang Meizhu, she might have been dead!

She was unusually angry, but since even a government department like Ji Yang couldn't do anything about him, she didn't seem to have a better solution for the time being.

All we can do is wait for Ross to deliver the fatal blow to Jack.

However, how exactly did the mayor find out about this and get involved?

Ji Yang also said he didn't know.

After dinner, she had already gone to bed.

Remembering that there was something he wanted to tell Ji Min, he returned to the living room.

She then overheard Wang Xiufen talking to Yu Qi on the phone.

"Mayor Yu, thank you so much this time. I had no choice. You don't think I'm taking advantage of your kindness, do you?"

A hearty laugh came from the other side:

"Little sister, it was just a small favor, don't worry about it. Let's go running together sometime."

Wang Xiufen blushed with embarrassment. Why was this old woman running away?

Jiang Ning was deeply moved. She never expected that her mother-in-law would pretend to run away and bump into the mayor for her sake. She was truly impressed by her mother-in-law's idea.
