Chapter 436: Strong Women
“Ding Yue, these three people have an ominous energy about them. They may face setbacks in their career soon. Keep your distance to avoid being affected,” warned Xiao Shun, his brows furrowed lightly.
Ding Yue, being smart, understood what he meant and lightly chuckled, “Understood.”
At this point, Duan Jia’s car appeared within sight. Xiao Shun propelled his wheelchair towards a ramp designed for the disabled near the entrance. However, the design of the ramp seemed rather impractical. The normal gradient of a wheelchair ramp is usually around ten degrees, but this one was about thirty. Perhaps it was originally designed for moving goods, not for the disabled.
Chen Ting was already annoyed by Ding Yue’s indifferent attitude. Despite her harsh words, they seemed to have no impact, like punching a cotton ball. But the condescending and cryptic conversation between the two ignited her rage.
She rushed forward and kicked Xiao Shun’s wheelchair, causing it to slide forward and accelerate down the steep ramp.
Gasps of shock echoed from the onlookers.
Once the wheelchair hit the incline, it shot downwards rapidly. If Xiao Shun were to brake, he would surely be thrown forward; if he didn’t, the chair would decelerate suddenly at a deep groove at the end of the ramp, and he would still be thrown out due to inertia.
“Mr. Xiao!”
Ding Yue’s face was drained of color as she rushed forward to try and stop the wheelchair. But Jiang Yiwu tripped her with a smirk. Ding Yue, wearing high heels, lost her balance and fell to the ground, looking rather disheveled.
As Xiao Shun was about to reach the end of the ramp, a figure suddenly appeared, one hand on his shoulder and the other gripping the wheelchair. The man was Duan Jia. Thanks to his timely arrival, Xiao Shun avoided embarrassment before a large crowd.
Seeing Xiao Shun safe, Ding Yue’s heart, which had leapt into her throat, finally settled. She quickly got up and stormed over to Chen Ting and Jiang Yiwu.
Slap! Slap!
She slapped both of them hard across their faces.
Chen Ting and Jiang Yiwu were completely caught off guard, touching their faces in disbelief, as if they had not yet processed what had happened. Even Yao Mingjun, standing nearby, was taken aback. He had not expected this seemingly weak woman to suddenly act like a wild beast, striking so viciously. He hurriedly stepped in front of Chen Ting.
“How dare you hit someone?” Yao Mingjun asked indignantly.
Chen Ting was his girlfriend, and seeing her being hit naturally made him upset, but he wasn’t so bad as to hit a woman.
“They deserved it,” Ding Yue retorted, her face flushed, her teeth clenched, and her eyes focused steadfastly on him.
Yao Mingjun was at a loss for words, and he raised his hand to retaliate, but stopped midway.
A hand as powerful as a large clamp gripped his wrist, causing an intense pain to shoot up his arm. He grimaced and groaned.
Duan Jia released Yao Mingjun’s hand, stepped forward, and stood in front of the trio. He was a wall of a man, his eyes fierce, instantly giving off an oppressive aura.
“Try to lay a hand on her, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Duan Jia spoke, his eyebrows raised.
Chen Ting and Jiang Yiwu wanted to retort, but swallowed their words.
“Get lost!” Duan Jia ordered.
Yao Mingjun, his face pale with rage, had no choice but to leave with Chen Ting and Jiang Yiwu.
“Mr. Xiao, are you okay? I’m sorry for not protecting you better,” Ding Yue apologized.
Xiao Shun shook his head and lightly laughed, “I’m fine, thanks to Duan’s timely arrival. Go back to work now.”
“Good. Since Duan is here, I’ll go.” Ding Yue gave a stiff smile, nodded, and then turned to walk back into the office building.
Watching Ding Yue’s retreating figure, Xiao Shun suddenly realized that the women he knew were surprisingly strong. Song Ling’er, Yao Cen, Tang Shishi, Mo Yibai…
Why couldn’t he meet a fragile woman whom he could pamper? He coughed, joking. Actually, he was already having trouble handling the current situation.
Speaking of Mo Yibai, she had stealthily kissed him, and he hadn’t heard from her for days. Xiao Shun was puzzled.
Back in the car, he pondered for a moment and decided to give her a call.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Mo Yibai was now a big star with a packed schedule. She hadmade a special trip to see him, so he should at least call to express his gratitude, right?
After a few rings, Mo Yibai’s enchanting voice came from the other end.
“So you finally remembered to call me?” she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.
“I have to return the favor for a big star who traveled miles to see me, right? Where are you now?” Xiao Shun asked.
“Are you coming to see me?”
“You’re making it sound like we’re going to talk all night, beautiful.”
“Are you joking? Are you troubled by that? It seems Yao Cen is keeping a tight leash on you,” Mo Yibai said, sounding slightly disappointed. But if Xiao Shun had readily agreed to come see her, she would likely not have believed him.
“Are things going well with work?”
“Everything is fine.” Just this simple question somehow caused a surge of emotion in Mo Yibai, and she answered softly.
“That’s good. If President He gives you any trouble, let me know, and I’ll negotiate.”
“That won’t be necessary. The company takes good care of me,” Mo Yibai laughed.
Indeed, He Guangji had invested all resources in her. After such a serious incident, the company had smoothed things over, and she had no complaints.
They chatted casually for a while before hanging up.
“Where to? Back to Dingxin Road?” Duan Jia asked.
Xiao Shun thought for a moment, “It’s lunchtime. Let’s go to Zizhu Garden to see Mr. Wang and have lunch there.”
Wang Ye had been worried sick about his injury. It was only right to visit him. This was what was meant by human relations and worldliness.
