Chapter 391 This unfilial daughter is infuriating!
Jin Ping paced back and forth in the living room, her finger hovering over the dial button for a long time before reluctantly pressing Cui Xiao's number.
The moment the call connected, she immediately adopted a weak and listless tone, her voice trailing off, "Cui Xiao, I suddenly feel a tightness in my chest, and I almost fainted just now. Can you come home now?" Cui Xiao paused for a moment on the other end of the line.
She hadn't been home for two days, and Jinping hadn't even made a single phone call. She finally made a call—it was because she needed her.
Cui Xiao smiled sarcastically and said, "I have an important project to follow up on. If you're not feeling well, let Sun Lu accompany you to the hospital first."
When Jin Ping heard that Cui Xiao refused to come back, her brows furrowed even more. Her already guilty tone became even more flustered, but she still forced herself to continue the act, "Why go to the hospital? I know my own body. I can get better by resting at home. I just need someone to be with me so that if I really faint, someone can take me to the hospital immediately."
Cui Xiaocai wasn't stupid. "In that case, let's call Sun Lu back. She's your most beloved daughter. Seeing her might help you recover sooner."
That ungrateful wretch doesn't care at all whether his mother lives or dies.
Jin Ping instinctively said, "Lulu is so busy with work, how can she leave? No, you have to come back."
Cui Xiao tossed her phone aside and snorted coldly, "Heh, she can't leave, and neither can I, so there's nothing I can do. You'll just have to bear it yourself."
These words left Jin Ping completely speechless. Remembering Sun Lu's instructions, she steeled herself, sat down on the sofa, and raised her voice suddenly, with a deliberately feigned sob, "How can you be so heartless? I'm already like this, and you're still thinking about work? If you don't come back, I won't eat or drink. I'll eat again when you come back."
As she spoke, Jin Ping deliberately blew her nose into the phone, creating a pitiful and aggrieved look.
Cui Xiao remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, her tone full of helplessness, "If you want to harm your own body, there's nothing I can do. Let's leave it at that for now, I have to go."
After patiently finishing her explanation, Cui Xiao hung up the phone.
Upon hearing Cui Xiao's refusal, Jin Ping nearly fainted from anger. "This unfilial daughter is infuriating!"
I thought faking illness would make Cui Xiao relent, but I didn't expect Cui Xiao to be so resolute this time.
Before she could even process what was happening, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket; it was Sun Lu calling.
Jin Ping took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and said in a frustrated tone, "Lulu, I couldn't get through to Cui Xiao." Sun Lu on the other end of the phone immediately said, "How could you not get through? Mom, did you not talk to her properly? You told her you weren't feeling well, but she still won't come back?"
Jin Ping was at a loss for words when Sun Lu questioned her. She quickly explained, "I told you, I said I felt tightness in my chest and was about to faint, but that unfilial daughter Cui Xiao said she had a project to attend to and asked me to ask you to accompany me to the hospital."
Sun Lu's voice was full of impatience, "She's doing it on purpose. With so many secretaries in their office, how busy can she be? I think all she thinks about is seducing men and climbing the social ladder."
Upon hearing Sun Lu's words, Jin Ping's anger surged even more fiercely than before.
She sighed into the phone, her tone becoming indignant, "I raised her from infancy, and now she doesn't even react when she hears I'm sick. But why do you insist on having her come back? I think it's better if she doesn't come back; I get annoyed just seeing her."
"What do you know?"
Sun Lu said irritably on the phone, "To tell you the truth, she's been staying at our boss's house these past few days while she's not home. I don't know what excuse she used to get in, but anyway, I won't give her that chance. Zhou Lu is the man I've set my sights on. She's not going to take him from me."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ping immediately understood.
How could Cui Xiao stand in her way?
No matter what it takes, we have to bring Cui Xiao back and prevent her from getting so close to Zhou Mubin again.
Jin Ping tried calling Cui Xiao again, but couldn't get through.
Since that's the case, she has no choice but to go to the Yadong Group.
The transportation routes in the port city are complicated. Jin Ping had only been there for two days and couldn't figure out the bus routes at all, so she had no choice but to take a taxi.
When it came time to pay the fare after getting off the bus, Jin Ping was dumbfounded.
This is such a long journey, and a taxi would cost 300 yuan.
Jin Ping refused to give it, saying, "Three hundred yuan? Why don't you just rob someone? Your meter reader is obviously faulty."
The driver, a local, felt that Jinping was being unreasonable. He said, "This is a legitimate taxi company, and the meter is working properly. You just want to ride for free. Believe me, I'll call the police right now."
Upon hearing the driver's words, Jin Ping reluctantly took the money to pay the fare.
Jin Ping slammed the door shut, muttering, "What a lousy place, this taxi is so expensive."
Hmph, when I see Cui Xiao later, I'll have to make her reimburse me for this money.
If she had come back obediently, she wouldn't have wasted three hundred yuan.
Jin Ping walked into the skyscraper, and the receptionist recognized her at a glance.
Jin Ping walked over and said without any politeness, "Call Cui Xiao down here, or I'm not leaving."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist said gently, "You've really gone to my troubles. Secretary Cui has gone on a business trip and should be arriving at the airport soon."
Jin Ping didn't believe it. "Who are you trying to fool? Call her down right now, or I'll make a scene."
The receptionist remained calm and unhurried, saying, "I'm telling the truth. Secretary Cui really has gone on a business trip. If you don't believe me, you can wait here. Of course, if you want to cause trouble, I'll have no choice but to call the police."
Jin Ping's eyes widened. "You want to call the police?"
The receptionist said, "If you are interfering with our normal work, I will naturally call the police."
Jin Ping shouted, "I'm Cui Xiao's mother!"
The receptionist said, "Even if you were the chairman's mother, it wouldn't work."
Jin Ping was furious, "You..."
She was furious, but the receptionist kept smiling, which made Jin Ping even angrier.
She snorted and found a place to sit down.
She refused to believe that Cui Xiaoneng would never come down from his post.
But several hours have passed, and it's almost time to get off work. All the lights in the building have been turned off, but Cui Xiao still hasn't come downstairs.
Is Cui Xiao really not at the company?
Jin Ping stood up cursing, "That wretched girl really went on a business trip, wasting my whole afternoon."
She clutched her aching lower back, "Ouch, it hurts so much! It's all Cui Xiao's fault, that good-for-nothing! She's infuriating me!"
As they were leaving, the security guard glanced at them again, and Jin Ping was about to yell, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen this before?"
