"I……"
Fear brought tears streaming down her face. Qiao Yimo mustered her courage, but before she could finish calling out, Gu Jingchen stepped past her.
"Brother Chen!" she cried as she chased after him for a few steps. Gu Jingchen stopped and turned to look at her.
Qiao Yimo was secretly pleased, knowing that Brother Chen was only temporarily misled by Su Ning's words and that his anger would subside. Just as she was pursing her lips, Gu Jingchen said solemnly, "She did not take me away from you."
Never!
Qiao Yimo stared blankly at Gu Jingchen as he walked away quickly. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and when the thought entered her mind, she shook her head repeatedly.
No, her Brother Chen loves her; he only treated her this way because of Su Ning's instigation.
With strong self-suggestion, Qiao Yimo reached out to wipe the tears from her face. When her fingertips touched her cheek, the pain made her hiss, and tears quickly fell again.
She came to her senses and found that Gu Jingchen and his men had already left. She was left alone in the quiet, empty mall. Her phone rang, which startled Qiao Yimo so much that she trembled. She took it out and saw that it was Su Xincheng. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hurriedly answered the phone, crying out in a heart-wrenching voice, "Mom, my sister bullied me so badly!"
If Gu Jingchen won't help her, Su Xincheng definitely will.
Back in Yanyugui, with the help of the servants, Su Ning took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
She got up, supported herself on the edge of the bed, and sat in the wheelchair, preparing to go out for dinner.
Last night, Gu Jingchen came home very late, and she didn't meet him. Today, she hit Qiao Yimo, so he should be comforting and keeping her company. It's impossible for him to come back at this time.
She felt quite pleased to enjoy dinner alone.
I had just taken a few bites of dinner when my phone rang.
The phone was smashed to pieces by Qiao Yimo. She went home and used tools to reassemble it herself, but the screen was so badly cracked that the number displayed on it was hard to see.
She answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
"Su Ning, what exactly do you want!"
An angry voice came through the phone, and Su Ning was glad that she hadn't put the phone to her ear, otherwise her eardrums would have been injured by the shouting.
"Mom, is something wrong?"
Su Ning replied with a faint smile that it was pointless to ask such a question, as she hadn't changed her phone number in four years and Su Xincheng hadn't called her even once.
The way they attacked her so aggressively, and the way they spoke so rudely, must be because of Qiao Yimo.
However, given how much time had passed since she threw Qiao Yimo into the storage room, Su Xincheng's call came late. Perhaps Qiao Yimo was just unlucky, and the repair sign she left outside the bathroom went unnoticed until now, and she was only released now.
"How dare you ask me what happened! You've beaten Momo up so badly!"
"Hmm!" Su Ning smiled, pursing her lips. "It's alright."
It was already a favor that the bodyguards didn't slap Qiao Yimo's face until it was smashed.
"What did you say!" Su Xincheng was furious, not expecting Su Ning to react this way. She shouted in a sharp voice, "Su Ning, how could you become so vicious!"
Su Xincheng emphasized the last two words, "vicious," so much so that the maid who was taking care of Su Ning and the people who came in heard it in the quiet room.
"Vicious?" Su Ning laughed, picking up some food from her bowl with her chopsticks and slowly chewing it, the harsh and unpleasant sound coming from her phone again.
