Bab 14: Chapter14 An Arrogant Big Shot Like Mr. Jing
Editor: MoboReader
Gao Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced sideways at Su Ruowan's leg with a face full of worries. "Everything has been going smoothly. I didn't expect that the quality of service of the waiters in Huangchao Restaurant is so poor. What if you can't come to the show tomorrow?"
Su Ruowan didn't say anything.
No one wanted an accident to happen. It just happened.
Maybe God didn't want her to earn those ten thousand dollars. If she had known it earlier, she shouldn't have accepted this offer in the first place.
Gao Xiaoxiao suddenly made a sound, staring at Jing Muchen with her bright eyes. She then said, "Mr. Jing, Ruowan has been really working word on her training every day. This time... Mr. Jing, can you please plead for her in front of Mr. Wang? Her salary... Can she keep some of it?"
Jing Muchen had not said a word since they got in the car. But after hearing Gao Xiaoxiao's request, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Ruowan through the rearview mirror and said, "Okay."
Upon getting such a calm and concise answer from him, Su Ruowan felt that her ears were broken for a moment.
"Great!" Gao Xiaoxiao clapped her hands happily. "Mr. Jing, you are so kind. Thank you so much! Ruowan, come on. Thank Mr. Jing quickly."
Su Ruowan glanced at Jing Muchen's side face and blurted out the doubts in her heart, "No need for that. How can an arrogant big shot like Mr. Jing lower himself and plead for me?"
The cheerful atmosphere in the car suddenly froze. Gao Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Su Ruowan, who had always been gentle and obedient, would say such provocative words.
"Oh?" Jing Muchen squinted and said with a faint smile, "Miss Su, it seems that... you know me very well."
"Mr. Jing, you've misunderstood her. Ruowan just meant that... Well, you are such a noble man. And pleading for her... Oh, it's all my fault. Mr. Jing, please don't get her wrong." Gao Xiaoxiao tried to mediate so as not to aggravate the dispute between them.
Su Ruowan just lowered her head and looked at her scalded leg without saying anything.
Jing Muchen didn't say anything more too. With a grim expression, he looked straight ahead and kept driving quietly. .
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Su Ruowan carefully got out from the back seat.
With her T-shirt and shorts that were like a color palette now, long messy hair and a body shivering in the night breeze, she felt that she was really down-and-out at the moment.
Gao Xiaoxiao smiled at Jing Muchen, thanked him repeatedly, and waved goodbye.
With an expressionless face, Jing Muchen stepped on the accelerator and drove away. The black Cayenne galloped at a fast speed and soon merged into the night traffic of D City.
Gao Xiaoxiao turned around, held Su Ruowan's arm, and screamed, "Ahhh! It's so scary! You didn't see it because you were in the back seat. Mr. Jing's face was really gloomy. He scared me out of my wits!" She paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "But Mr. Jing is so handsome. At such a close-up look, I've clearly seen his delicate facial features. It's a pity that he isn't a star. Why do you think he chose Zhang Luoya to be his girlfriend? Their auras are way too different. They are not of the same level at all."
Su Ruowan wrapped her hands around her arms tightly and said politely, "Miss Gao, thank you so much for your help tonight. I can go to the hospital by myself. You'd better go back to the restaurant as soon as possible. Mr. Wang may need your help there."
"What are you talking about?" Gao Xiaoxiao pulled a long face and pretended to be angry. "Ruowan, don't you take me as a friend?"
Su Ruowan was slightly taken aback.
Gao Xiaoxiao continued, "Actually, I think you are a very genuine person. I want you to be my friend. You are not jealous of the life of the upper-class. You're always calm and living your own life slowly. I can say that you're really different from those other women. I am so envious of you! So Ruowan, let's be friends, okay? I mean, close friends. Do you think I can be your good friend too?"
Su Ruowan was moved, so she looked at Gao Xiaoxiao and nodded slightly. .
In the hospital.
The doctor checked Su Ruowan's scald. Fortunately, the burnt area was not that big. After disinfecting her wound and bandaging it, she was allowed to go home.
Gao Xiaoxiao gave her phone number to Su Ruowan and promised that she would report this incident to the company since it was work-related. Then she hurriedly took a taxi back.
Su Ruowan checked the time on her watch. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Worried that Jiu Jiu was waiting at home anxiously, she called Wu Lili.
On the other end of the line, Wu Lili's voice was very low. She must be covering the mouthpiece of her phone with one hand. "Ruowan, I played with Jiu Jiu for a while after we had dinner together. She is asleep now. Don't worry about her. Take care on your way home."
"Okay. Thank you, Lili."
After hanging up the phone, she hailed a taxi and rushed home.
...
After that chaotic night.
As Su Ruowan expected, Jiu Jiu questioned her about the gauze on her leg when she woke up the next day.
She just told the little girl that she tripped, so she asked the doctor to bandage her injury, and she would recover in a few days.
Jiu Jiu pouted and gently blew on Su Ruowan's leg. "Mommy, it won't hurt if I blow on it."
Being cared for by her daughter, Su Ruowan's heart softened.
Since she had a daughter, she finally understood why most people would say that daughters were sweeter than sons. How wonderful it was to have a daughter! You could dress her up, take her out to play, and she would care about you all the time.
All she needed in her life was Jiu Jiu. Her hardships and grievances became nothing every time she saw her daughter's smile.
...
After sending Jiu Jiu to the kindergarten, Su Ruowan received a call from Gao Xiaoxiao as soon as she returned home. "I'm so angry! It really blew me up! Mr. Wang came over this morning and scolded me. He said that lacking one model would bring bad luck to the show. I'm so sorry, Ruowan. I'm just a powerless employee. You might not get your talent fee. I'm so sorry..."
Actually, Su Ruowan had already anticipated this to happen. After all, how could she get paid if she did not attend the show?
But the hypocritical look of Jing Muchen last night made her feel more disgusted. Wasn't he just trying to make her feel grateful to him? What a mean man!
Pursing her lips, she comforted Gao Xiaoxiao, "It's okay. I won't have to go to the launch event today then. Xiaoxiao, thank you very much."
Gao Xiaoxiao reproached on the other end of the line, "I've told you that you're my friend. Why do you have to thank me? Stop saying that, okay? Just stay at home and have a good rest for now so you'll recover faster. I'll let you know when there are some activities later."
Su Ruowan wanted to refuse. But when she heard Gao Xiaoxiao's cheerful voice, she didn't have the heart to do so.
