"Haoran …" Chu Mengyao still had something she wanted to say.
"You know, I'm the only son of Wu's, and even more so the only hope of my mother." Wu Haoran interrupted Chu Mengyao, "Now that I have suffered such serious injuries, I cannot say what will happen to her once she goes overboard. Like maybe she called the police on the spur of the moment? "
"For me, if I were to report it, it would naturally bring the perpetrators of my crimes to justice, but I did not. It's because I want you to be involved, and I don't want you to get hurt. "
He tried with all his might to convince Chu Mengyao, but under his soft and hard attacks, Chu Mengyao only felt that her mind was in a mess, she could not think at all, and it was as if she had lost all of her strength in her body.
"I need to think about it, Haoran."
"Yes, you can think about it for as long as you want." Wu Haoran's tone was very gentle, but there was a sense of threat in his words, "You should know my mother's temper, she has never been as patient as she used to be, if she ever did anything, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
Chu Mengyao's face turned a little pale, and she almost fell to the ground.
Wu Haoran immediately reached out to support her, and whispered into her ear: "I think it's best if we get married today."
"Mengyao, what's wrong with your face?" Chu Zhiruo immediately saw that Mengyao's face was extremely swollen, there was even blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
Aunt Wang was preparing Chu Zhiruo's lunch, the fish soup that was brought over in the thermal container was extremely delicious. The moment the thermal container was opened, Chu Mengyao felt a wave of nausea, as if her stomach had turned upside down. She stormed into the bathroom, vomiting profusely. When nothing came out of her mouth, she forced herself to turn on the tap and rinse her face.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help smiling bitterly. The left side of her face was red and hot, with a clear palm print. The right side of her face looked pale and frightening. She had not rested well last night. Her eyes were dark green, and her hair was wet from washing her face. He looked extremely haggard.
"Miss, how are you?" Aunt Wang knocked on the bathroom door with concern.
Chu Mengyao walked over and opened the bathroom door, "It's fine." When she smelled the fish soup filling the ward, she felt like vomiting.
"What? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing Mengyao like this, Chu Zhiruo worriedly asked.
Chu Mengyao poured a cup of water and said, "It should be because I couldn't rest well for the past two days, but my stomach is acting up again." She used to paint all day long, and she couldn't remember eating at all. Long ago, she had stomach problems. Furthermore, after she had taken over the Chu's a while back, she had had an irregular meal. If there was any social gathering, she would still drink wine. As a result, her stomach ailment was even worse than before. If you are ill, you will sometimes vomit.
"What happened to your face? Did Wu Haoran do it?" Chu Zhiruo was a little unhappy.
Chu Mengyao shook her head.
"Could it be Shen Baiqing?" Chu Zhiruo guessed.
"It's my fault for angering Auntie Shen." She could only blurt out those words quickly. She could not honestly say that to her aunt, but Fu Yi was the reason for the beating, right?
Chu Zhiruo was a little displeased, "She has always liked you, why did she hit you?"
"Aunt, hurry up and drink the fish soup. "Don't ask any more questions." Chu Mengyao said. The smell of the fish soup made her feel very uncomfortable. She immediately rushed to the bathroom and vomited.
"Mengyao, go home and rest." Seeing Chu Mengyao's painful expression, Chu Zhiruo said, "Uncle Huang is in the car park downstairs. It's fine as long as there's a Aunt Wang here."
When she returned home, Chu Mengyao had no strength left in her entire body, and fell asleep immediately, but tonight, she slept extremely unsteadily, and did not stop dreaming the entire night. Sometimes she dreamt that Fu Yi was being grabbed, and sometimes she dreamed that her Chu's had gone bankrupt, and sometimes she dreamed that Wu Haoran, Wu Ruming and Shen Baiqing had surrounded her, and smiled sinisterly as they looked at her, and slowly approached with their hands stretched out, wanting to pinch her. She woke up with a start.
His entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
At this time, the window was slightly white.
She picked up the phone and saw that it was turned off. When she came back to her senses, she remembered that she turned off the switch when she got home.
When the phone was turned on, she saw that it was only four in the morning. Just as she was about to place her phone on the shelf, she heard the incessant beeping of text messages.
Unexpectedly, there were more than ten missed calls, of which Ai Ting had called 2, the other 2 were all from Fu Yi.
There were also a few other messages that Fu Yi had sent over.
"Answer the phone, Mengyao."
"Mengyao, don't be angry."
"Mengyao, it's all my fault, I didn't handle this properly."
"Mengyao, I'll be back tomorrow. Let's meet up for a bit, okay?"
"Rest early, I miss you."
Seeing Fu Yi's short message, it was as if Chu Mengyao saw her slightly nervous expression, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Letting out a soft sigh, she looked up at the ceiling. Thinking about Fu Yi made her feel sad for some reason.
It was unknown when Chu Mengyao fell asleep, but by the time she woke up, the sky was already bright.
When she brushed her teeth, she felt a little disgusted. She immediately covered her chest and took in a deep breath to hide her soreness. After washing her face, she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked a little haggard, and the red and swollen left side of her face could still be seen. Thinking about going to see Tao Feijin for the contract today, she covered her face with powder.
Just as she was changing her clothes, she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was Fu Yi calling. But I hesitated and didn't answer. She went to the closet and changed her clothes, letting her cell phone ring.
Then the phone finally stopped, but a text message came in.
Fu Yi replied, "Remember to eat breakfast. I missed you."
Seeing Fu Yi's text message, Chu Mengyao felt her eyes become sore. She pursed her lips and placed the phone back into her bag.
When they were walking down the stairs, Chu Mengyao called Aunt Wang. After hearing Aunt Wang say that Chu Zhiruo had rested quite well last night, she unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. Sitting in the dining room at home, the nanny had already prepared breakfast.
Looking at the milk and bread, Chu Mengyao had no appetite at all. For some unknown reason, she felt that the milk had a fishy taste, the bread felt very greasy, and the side dishes made it difficult for her to swallow. It was only one night, but her tastes had completely changed. After that, she barely managed to finish half a bowl of rice porridge. However, she still had a nauseous feeling.
Her cell phone rang, it was Ai Ting who called, "Mengyao, why did your phone shut down last night?"
"What is it, Tingting?" Chu Mengyao stood up from the chair and left the table.
"I'm going back to H City. I have a few days of vacation. How about we go shopping together?" Ai Ting said.
Chu Mengyao carried her bag and prepared to leave. She really wasn't in the mood to go shopping, so she politely refused, "Tingting, I've been a bit busy lately, I don't have time to go shopping with you." The matter of the contract and her aunt had made her very upset. She could not stop thinking about these things.
"Okay, then ask me out when you have time!" Ai Ting said somewhat regretfully.
Although she had an appointment with Tao Feijin at 9 o'clock, Chu Mengyao had already arrived at the law firm at 8: 30 AM. The receptionist looked at her and asked, "Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, I have a date with Lawyer Tao Feijin." Chu Mengyao said.
"May I know your name?" The receptionist asked politely.
"Chu Mengyao."
The front desk miss looked at the record and said softly, "Miss Chu, Lawyer Tao Feijin will not be here until 9 o'clock. Please sit over there in the waiting area and wait."
"Okay, thanks." Chu Mengyao very politely thanked her, and then sat down by the window in the waiting area. Lawyers were usually very busy, especially big lawyers like Tao Feijin. It was not easy for them to find time to chat.
Chu Mengyao took out the contract nervously to look at it again. She had to make sure that when she communicated with Tao Feijin, she could recount every detail of it.
Looking at the time and it was almost 9, Chu Mengyao got up and went to the washroom. As she passed the washbasin, she smelled the scent of hand lotion. Suddenly, she felt a sour feeling in her chest, as if she wanted to vomit. She quickly covered her mouth, and after a fit of retching, she did not vomit.
After the nausea passed, she rinsed her mouth with water. Raising her head, she saw a piece of paper being handed over. She followed his arm and saw that it was a tall and thin man. She took it and said politely, "Thank you."
The man didn't say anything. He only glanced at her red and swollen left cheek before expressionlessly leaving.
Calculating the time, Chu Mengyao looked into the mirror to make up her makeup and smeared a bit of a lip gloss on her face to make herself look more energetic. When she returned to the hall, the receptionist said, "Miss Chu, Lawyer Tao has arrived." Then she added, "Walking this way, the last one on the left is the office of Attorney Tao. There's a nameplate on the door."
Chu Mengyao followed her instructions and quickly arrived at the office that had the name "Tao Feijin" written on it. She tidied up her clothes, exhaled lightly, and knocked on the door.
When she heard the words, "Please come in," she pushed the door open and went in.
"You?" Chu Mengyao was a little surprised, it was actually the man who passed her the tissue. She quickly regained her senses and laughed softly, "Lawyer Tao, hello. I'm Chu Mengyao, we spoke on the phone yesterday. "
Hello, Miss Chu." His gaze sized up the woman in front of him. Her makeup was very exquisite, and her facial features were also very beautiful. Her long hair was simply tied into a low ponytail, and she was wearing a professional OL suit. Today, she was wearing a shirt and a suit and a singlet. Her lower body was made up of the same color as her long pants, which matched well with her black high heels. She looked no different from a professional in the office building. This was different from the photos she had online. He politely said, "Please take a seat, Miss Chu.
