Chapter 384 A Sudden Attack

Zhou Mengyao comes to pick up Xia Ning and drives her to Junhao Group. When they arrive at Wu Ying’s studio, Xia Ning sees all kinds of food lined up on the table once the door is opened. She feels greatly surprised.

“Most of the time, I am a food aficionado.” Wu Ying sees Xia Ning. She puts down the pen in her hand and goes to sit by the table. “Come here, we will have dinner. I am hungry.”

Xia Ning sits down. Just now, Yi Yunrui asked whether she wanted him to send her supper. They have so much food here. She takes out her phone and takes some photos.

“You also like to blog?” Wu Ying asks.

“No. I send them to my husband so that he won’t be worried about me.” Xia Ning says. She sends a photo to Yi Yunrui.

“You love each other so much.” Wu Ying says with envy, “It seems that I need to find a boyfriend for myself.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes in surprise. Wu Ying is already thirty years old. Hasn’t she had a boyfriend yet?

Zhou Mengyao says, “Wu Ying is crazy with designing. She believes that a boyfriend will disturb her work. So, she has never given any chances to anyone.”

Oh. That is it. Xia Ning takes up the chopsticks to eat.

“You two are both hypoglycemic. I told the cook to prepare these dishes specially. There are more meat and less vegetable. You may get enough energy.” Zhou Mengyao says. She picks a drumstick for Xia Ning and Wu Ying respectively.

They have supper happily. After that, Wu Ying prepares some fruit. At the time, Zhou Mengyao gives Xia Ning a photo album, “Ning, have you got prepared for the conference the day after tomorrow?”

Xia Ning feels her heart jump. She is a little unconfident. “Sister Ying, Aunt Zhou, do you really think I can do that?”

“Sure!” Wu Ying responds with no hesitation, “You are chosen by myself. You surely can! Be confident with yourself.”

Xia Ning takes over the photo album. She looks at the beautiful cheongsams there. She widens her eyes. She can’t believe that.

“Are these clothes…all designed based on me?”

“Yes.” Wu Ying responds. She takes out a photo from it and puts it in front of Xia Ning. “This is the one you are going to wear for the conference.”

Xia Ning feels shocked. She looks at the photo and can’t speak a word for quite a while.

“Ning.” Zhou Mengyao pats on her shoulder. “Be confident with yourself. You can do it.”

Xia Ning hesitates for quite a while. She says, “Aunt Zhou, there will be a lot of exhibitors on the conference. They all use super models. But I…”

“What’s the problem?” Wu Ying feels confused, “If there should be any problem, that’s their fault. You are a gorgeous diamond. They don’t know to cherish. In my opinion, you are more beautiful than any of the famous models.”

Seriously? Xia Ning looks at the photo again and thinks about it.

Won’t it be a waste to put the clothes on her?

Zhou Mengyao is aware that Xia Ning is very worried. She smiles. “Ning, do you know why Rui doesn’t allow you to go around too much?”

Xia Ning lifts to look at her. She thinks for a while and shakes her head.

“Because he is afraid that someone may grab you away from him.”

Xia Ning smiles. That is exactly what Yi Yunrui says.

Well. She has been here. She may let nature take its course. Since Wu Ying and Aunt Zhou are not worried about that, she doesn’t need to be worried, either.

They discuss about some details in Wu Ying’s studio. It is already seven in the evening.

Xia Ning told Yi Yunrui that she would go home at seven. So, at seven, Xia Ning and Zhou Mengyao leave.

When they get to the gate of the company. Yi Yunrui hasn’t arrived. Xia Ning’s phone rings. She presses the answer button. After a brief conversation, Xia Ning hangs up. She turns to Zhou Mengyao. “Rui is arriving in five minutes.”

“Then I will stay here with you for a while. After Rui picks you up, I will go to the parking lot for my car.”

“Aunt Zhou, I am not a kid. You can go to get your car. I can wait here by myself.”

“It is for five minutes only. Ning, you and Rui are both kids to me. If I got married at that time, my child would have been at about your age…watch out!”

Suddenly, Zhou Mengyao cries. She holds out her hand and draws Xia Ning to her.

Xia Ning feels a wind blow. A rod falls down beside her.

Xia Ning feels shocked!

It happens fast. Some other men come to them. The one behind Xia Ning finds that he fails to hit Xia Ning. He takes up the rod again.

It is very dangerous. Zhou Mengyao pushes Xia Ning behind. “Ning, run.”

Not far away is the branch office of Junhao Group. The guards there realize something happens. They rush to them.

However, Zhou Mengyao has been hit by a rod. And there are too many people attacking them. The two guards can’t protect them at the same time.

“Aunt Zhou!” Xia Ning feels shocked. She stands up from the ground and rushes to her. She holds Zhou Mengyao and tries to stop the rod from hitting Zhou Mengyao with her body.

Several rods are hitting towards her. Xia Ning closes her eyes.

…

After a few seconds, Xia Ning doesn’t feel any pain. She opens her eyes confusedly.

Someone wearing white clothes is fighting with the attackers. She has no weapons with her, but with excellent skills, she grabs all the weapons from the attackers.

Grabbing their weapons with her hands!

Xia Ning clearly sees the excellence of Chinese martial art. The girl is protecting her.

She looks very familiar to Xia Ning…

“Sister Xia, watch out!”

Xia Ning has not collected herself when the girl cries. Then, Xia Ning sees another man running to her. He lifts the rod and forcefully hits towards Xia Ning!

Xia Ning remembers that Aunt Zhou is behind her. Instinctively, she raises her hand to stop the man’s hand.

When she is just going to press the button on her ring, she finds that the man directly flies backwards…

In the next second, she is held by two strong hands and falls into a wide and warm embrace.

Xia Ning smells the familiar air and feels herself surrounded by a powerful sense of safety. Xia Ning calms down at once.

Then, she finds that Yi Yunrui holds her with one hand and throws the attackers away easily one by one with the other hand.

Zhang Hai is also busy fighting fiercely. Once being hit, his enemies totally lose the power to attack again. The commander and his subordinate fight together, and collapse all the attackers of over ten within a few seconds, who fall onto the ground, crying painfully.

The guards are shocked to see that. They look at them as if they can’t believe it.

They are awesomely excellent!

“Ning, are you hurt?” Yi Yunrui asks worriedly.

Xia Ning shakes her head, “No…oh, Aunt Zhou.”

Xia Ning gets away from Yi Yunrui and runs to Zhou Mengyao. Zhou Mengyao was hit twice and her hand is swollen.

“Let’s go to the hospital.” Xia Ning feels very guilty. Aunt Zhou was hit because of protecting her.

At the time, they hear Zhang Hai say, “Girl, you are good at it!”

Then, Xia Ning remembers that there was a girl helping her. She lifts to look and sees Jing Shu looking at her.

Is she Jing Shu?

“Sister Xia, I was running and happened to be here.” Jing Shu comes to support Zhou Mengyao, too. She says, “Miss, your hand is injured seriously. You need to go to the hospital. Don’t move your hand. We don’t know whether the bone is hurt.”

Jing Shu says when she carefully holds Zhou Mengyao’s hand.

They go to the car. Before they leave, Zhang Hai turns to the guards and says, “Call the police. Don’t let them escape.”

Zhou Mengyao’s wound is treated immediately after they get to the hospital. Luckily, it is fine with the bone. Everyone gives a sigh of relief.

“Aunt Zhou, I am sorry. If not because of me, you wouldn’t have been injured.” Xia Ning apologizes.

“That’s silly.” Zhou Mengyao looks at her gently, “Those people were obviously attacking both of us. If the girl and Rui hadn’t come in time, you and I would have been dead today.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui feels his heart ache. He darkens his face.

Zhang Hai notices Yi Yunrui’s expression. He turns to go out of the ward at once and calls Director Tong immediately.

Everyone knows that Commander Yi regards his wife as important as his life. Those who dare to hurt his wife are asking for death.

“Aunt Zhou, is it painful?” Xia Ning looks at Zhou Mengyao’s hand which is bandaged carefully. She feels very sorry.

“No, it is not painful. It is applied with some disinfectant.” Even so, it can’t be not painful. Zhou Mengyao says so just to comfort Xia Ning.

Xia Ning sees Jing Shu who is sitting beside. She remembers something. She asks, “Jing Shu, you learned martial art? You are good at it.”

“I learned some fighting skills in America for self-protection.” Jing Shu says. She feels someone looking at her. She tightens her heart and turns her eyes away.

When she sees Yi Yunrui’s sharp eyes which seem to be able to see her through, she feels her heart jump. In an instant, she feels seriously stressed. She slightly lowers her head.

As a matter of fact, she is open-minded. However, she simply can’t withstand the overbearing look like this.

She realizes that Xia Ning’s husband is really a mighty man.

Xia Ning is aware of the uneasiness on Jing Shu’s face. She confusedly turns her head. At the time, Yi Yunrui comes to her. He holds her hand tightly. “Ning, who is this girl?”

“Oh. Sorry. I forgot to introduce. This is Jing Shu, my new assistant intern. Jing Shu, this is my husband, Yi Yunrui. This is Aunt Zhou, Zhou Mengyao. That one is my husband’s correspondent, Zhang Hai.”

“Commanders, Aunt Zhou, nice to meet you.” Jing Shu politely greets them.

At the time, Wu Ying comes to the hospital with some other people. When she sees Zhou Mengyao with bandage, she is shocked, “God. I thought I misheard. It is really serious! They dared to attack you in front of the gate of Junhao Group. They really had the guts. President Zhou, besides this hand, are you hurt in any other parts?”

Zhou Mengyao shakes her head. “My hand is injured a little seriously. I don’t have other injuries. It is lucky that you did not come with us. Or, you would have been wounded, too.”

“President Zhou, did you recognize who the attackers were?”

“No. It happened all of a sudden. We didn’t have any time to deal with it.”

Wu Ying thinks for a while. “I think it is too coincident. How could those people know that you and Ning would leave the company at seven? They must have waited at the door for quite a while. They might even have waited around for a long time. They waited for the chance.”

Hearing Wu Ying’s words, Zhou Mengyao’s eyes gleam. As if she remembers something, she says, “We are going to have the new products conference the day after tomorrow. Can it have anything to do with that?”
