Now that I'm injured again, I'd be troubling him again...
We haven't established a relationship, so they have no obligation to take care of me and my family like this.
But I was worried that if Chen Muxi said he was still angry about what happened this morning and wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't I be even more embarrassed and lose face?
So whether he intervenes or not, it's not good.
The best solution is for him to remain unaware.
It's too late...
My phone suddenly rang. I was startled, my eyes focused, and I stared at the caller ID on the screen. My heart pounded wildly.
I calmed myself down, picked up the phone, and answered, "Hello..."
"Muxi said you fell and hurt yourself, what happened?" Su Shenglin's tone was anxious, and you could tell he was very worried. The unpleasantness from this morning had vanished.
"Well... I was hiking this morning and I accidentally fell," I explained, sounding a little unsure of myself.
"It's been dragging on until now?" He tightened his tone, his voice rising noticeably at the end.
I felt inexplicably scared, like a child being scolded by an adult for doing something wrong. "I thought... it wasn't serious, but it seems to be swelling more and more noticeable, so..."
Su Shenglin was silent for a moment, whether out of anger or speechlessness, before asking again, "Where are you now?"
"Just came down the mountain, and I'll be on Jiangcheng Avenue soon, heading back to the city."
"I'll pick you up. Keep in touch on the way." He said coldly and authoritatively, giving me no chance to refuse, and then hung up.
However, I didn't dare to refuse.
When he gets angry, no one can stand it.
If I make excuses and say I don't need it, it will only make him angrier and make me seem hypocritical and pretentious.
After hanging up the phone, I said to the two people in the car, "Mr. Yang, Xiao Yingtao, my friend is coming to pick me up now. You should go back later. It's so lively tonight, it would be a shame to miss it."
Yang Qianmu responded and reminded him, "Then, Mr. Jiang, please watch out for the cars on the road, so you don't miss your friend."
"good."
Little Cherry, sitting next to me, overheard the conversation and whispered, "Sister Wan, is Mr. Su here to pick you up?"
I glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Little Cherry smiled ambiguously, then shrank her neck and said, "I understand... Then Mr. Yang and I will go back later."
Her meaning was clear: since Su Shenglin was the one picking me up, she should quickly leave and not be a third wheel.
I want to explain that Su Shenglin and I don't have that kind of relationship, at least not now.
But when I opened my mouth, I felt that explaining would be pointless, and no one would believe me.
About half an hour later, Su Shenglin called again, and we discussed the meeting place. I kept my eyes on the opposite lane.
Although it was dark and windy, and the headlights were dazzling, when that behemoth sped past in the opposite lane, I felt as if I had a telepathic connection and knew it was him.
I immediately called him and asked him to find a place to turn around, and then instructed Yang Qianmu to pull over.
About two or three minutes later, the huge vehicle drove towards us, slowly slowed down, and stopped behind our car.
Both cars had their hazard lights on.
I pushed open the car door, leaned out, and saw a man get out of the powerful and imposing Hongqi SUV. With the headlights on his back, he strode towards me like a savior of the apocalypse.
"Sister Wan, it's Mr. Su!"
Little Cherry stood by the car and excitedly turned around to shout.
My heart was pounding, my cheeks were burning, and I gave a soft reply before getting off the back seat.
But because I couldn't stand up straight with my knees bent, Yang Qianmu and Xiao Yingtao were afraid I would fall, so they both supported me.
As Su Shenglin approached, his tall and imposing figure and handsome, deep-set face became increasingly clear.
"Jiang Wan!" he called out.
"Hmm," I replied, trying to step out, but the pain was excruciating.
The next second, he quickened his pace and stood in front of me, quickly reaching out to stop me.
"Did you fall so badly? You can't even walk anymore?"
The moment he opened his mouth, he instilled a sense of awe in people.
Little Cherry was at least startled and trembled a little; she probably felt guilty again.
"It's nothing, just a superficial injury."
I quickly responded, then forced myself to move to his side despite the pain, and looked at Yang Qianmu and Xiao Yingtao, "Alright, you two can go back now, you can still make it to the bonfire party."
Yang Qianmu glanced at Su Shenglin, his expression a mix of surprise and admiration.
"Mr. Su, thank you for your trouble..." Little Cherry nodded and bowed, being very polite to Su Shenglin.
Su Shenglin held my arm with one hand and nodded slightly: "Thank you for bringing her back."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to me, his brows furrowed tightly: "Are we able to leave or not?"
"Yes..." I forced myself to take another step, walking with the same unsteady gait as the old lady, both legs bent, looking quite pathetic.
"President Jiang, let us help you across—" Yang Qianmu knew I couldn't walk, so he immediately stepped forward to help me.
Unexpectedly, before he could even touch my arm, Su Shenglin's tall and upright body suddenly bent down.
Then I screamed and was thrown sideways into the air.
