C144 Is a Plot Not an Accident
This meeting was very sudden. I didn't have the mood to get entangled with Meng Shuzhen at the moment. I just wanted to get away from her as soon as possible.
"Ms. Meng, I still have my own matters to attend to. I've already made an appointment with my friend. It doesn't seem right for you to pull and pull on me at the gate of Ou Clan like this." As I said these words, I was gritting my teeth. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw that the few girls from the Ou family's front desk were already looking towards us.
Meng Shufu still refused to give up. "It's okay, it's just a meal with me. I won't do anything to Miss Zhou, so you don't need to be polite with me. We are all on the same side."
I frowned. "Who's on your side?" After saying that, she pulled out her arm forcefully. Meng Shuzhen didn't expect me to use so much strength to break free of her restraints, but the cup of Starbucks' coffee in her other hand fell to the ground.
Half of the brown coffee had been left on the marble floor of Eustace's door, and the other half had spilled onto my clothes. Although it was cold and wouldn't burn me, the sticky liquid of the coffee still made me uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. Let me bring you to clean up." Meng Shufu's expression did not seem to be as apologetic as she said.
I rolled my eyes and said, "There's no need for that. Just stop pestering me. I'll go and find my friend to deal with it."
Meng Shufu wanted to pull me back unwillingly, but he put on a show of being responsible for me to the end. When I was about to shake him off again, he found that the force was suddenly pushing me down. I didn't have enough time to defend myself; it was already too late to break free.
The floor under my feet had become even more slippery from the coffee I had just spilled. Wearing a pair of heels with a high heel, I lost my balance and was pushed down the stairs to the third floor. At this moment, Meng Shuxian, who had been holding onto me, released his grip.
Feeling the cold and hard marble floor, I was still a little absent-minded. What's wrong with me? Why didn't I come to my senses after being bullied again and again by others? When I first saw Meng Shuzhen, I should have just thrown my arm over to hit her, but she actually gave her so many opportunities to plot against me.
But then the pain in my arms and knees interrupted me, and the elbow blocked all the blows that nearly hit my head on the stairs, and my right leg bore almost all the force of the impact as I fell, and for a moment my left arm and right knee were in excruciating pain.
Meng Shufu pretended to be panicking as he ran over and asked me, "Miss Zhou, how are you doing? Don't scare me, why are you walking so carelessly? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?"
I used my remaining left hand to push her away. "Go away, don't let me see you. I won't let you off with today's matter." Meng Shuzhen, who was still strong a moment ago, seemed to have suddenly turned into a paper man. I pushed her and she fell to the ground, rubbing her ankle as she cried out in pain.
When the employees at the front desk saw our situation, they quickly threw it over, "Madam, Madam Meng, how are the two of you?"
"I'm fine, quickly take a look at Miss Zhou. She just accidentally fell down the stairs." When Meng Shufu looked up at the crowd, his face was still filled with tears. I really admire this kind of woman. At such an age, she pretended to be a pitiful young lady, yet she was still able to handle it so easily.
It's a pity that from the front desk just now, I could only see that I fell after being tangled with Meng Mo. However, I couldn't see that she had pushed me down.
"Madam, how are you? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?" A quick and observant receptionist had already noticed that my injury was much more severe than Meng Shuzhen's ankle injury.
Cold sweat had already seeped out of my forehead. I clenched my teeth and told her, "Help me call the design department's Maysan. Hurry up. I'm in so much pain."
"Alright, go call her. Madam, try to see if you can stand up first. The two of you can help Ms. Meng to rest in our resting room. Spray some medicine for her and give her a simple treatment." It seemed like she was the head of the front desk and did things in a rather orderly manner.
Meng Shufu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to help me. I'm fine. I need to watch Miss Zhou go to the hospital to feel at ease."
That head waiter still said politely, "Madam Meng, we will take care of you. You are our guest. If anything happens in the Ou Family, we really can't afford it. Please follow them to deal with it."
If not for the pain from the injury, I really want to clap for this head waiter. There aren't many people that can carry me so well.
After Meng Shuzhen was supported away, I leaned against her body and waited for her to arrive.
"Madam, if you meet someone who would pester you and the CEO in the future, please do not be polite and directly call him. How could you be bullied?" The little girl was still somewhat angry.
I smiled weakly. "So you also hate her. I thought that everyone in the world except me thought that she was a good person."
As she adjusted my posture, she said, "Come on, it's fine for you to put all your strength into me. You didn't know that the first time she came to Ou Family, she wanted to find the CEO. We didn't know that her identity was unknown, so we didn't dare to let her in.
I didn't know that there was such a sensible employee in Ou's office. During my conversation with her, my pain had shifted slightly and I saw that Mason had come in her car.
Yao Yao, how are you? When they came to find me just now, I was driving because I thought you had to go to the hospital. I went straight to the parking lot to find you.
I really admire her. She is able to maintain such a clear mind under such circumstances. If it were me, I would have already lost my head and no idea what to do.
She was dragged by two girls to finally get into Mason's car.
"Hello, can I trouble you to come with me to the hospital? I really can't take care of it by myself. I'll explain to the CEO about your work later." Mason started the car and left the foreman behind.
"Okay, I don't intend to go. Madam's safety is first, designer Mei, the benevolent hospital is very close to us, but it should be congested at this time. We might as well go to the central hospital, the roads are a little more remote and faster, and I think the lady must be injured, that's more professional."
"Okay, I don't know the way. Can you help me navigate?"
The car sped along the road, even going past two red lights. It was obvious that Mason was really worried.
All the way to the emergency room of B Central Hospital, I was immediately transferred to the orthopedic department. In order to relieve my pain, the doctor gave me a pain-relieving shot before I started. The skin wound on my knee was okay, but when I rubbed alcohol cotton balls on it, there was a heart-wrenching pain.
The elbow was more severe. The film showed soft tissue contusion and a minor fracture. The whole procedure took more than two hours. During this time, Mason and the supervisor, Andy, were with them.
When I was transferred to the Inpatient Department, O'Jia Rui also came. Under the control of my pain and anger, I didn't even want to look at him directly.
Yao Yao, what do you think? Is it still painful? This ward's condition is too poor, I've already made arrangements for you to rest here for a while before moving to the Vip Ward. I've called a servant to take care of you.
Ou Jia Rui even had a laptop in her hands. She seemed to have rushed over after an urgent task.
"No need." My voice was even colder than the expression on my face. "Director Ou, as long as you take care of your first love, the mass lovers, or the ones in your dreams, I will be forever grateful."
Ou Jia Rui obviously knew the whole story from the front desk: "Right, it was indeed her fault that the bookkeeper came to find you. I already warned her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen off the steps."
"Meaning?" These two words were harsh to me. Meng Shuzhen was really a good actor. He only told Ou Jia Rui to pester me while avoiding the issue, but he covered up the fact that she intentionally pushed me down the stairs as if I was careless.
Ou Jia Rui didn't understand what I meant. She asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
"Ask Meng Shuzhen why the coffee that she was walking on was overturned by my struggle with her right hand. I was already in Europe preparing to deal with Mason, why did she have to pull me back, and why was she holding my hand, instead of pushing me down the stairs?"
"What you two have described to me are two completely different things. Originally, the two of you are both people that I trust a lot, but now, I don't know who to believe anymore. How about this, I'll go back to adjust the monitor and see what the situation is like. Don't think about this for now, rest well, I won't leave this afternoon."
"Director Ou, I clearly saw it …" "You're the front desk supervisor, right? You did a good job today, if not for you, the Madam wouldn't have been sent here to treat you in time. From today onwards, your monthly salary will increase by 3,000."
"Thank you, CEO Ou, but that's not what I want to say."
"Go back to work first. I'll let you know if there's anything I need to ask." Ou Jia Rui waved her hand as if she didn't want to hear what she had to say. Andy didn't dare disobey the CEO's wishes and could only temporarily leave.
The only ones left in the ward were me, Mason, and Ou Jia Rui. It seemed that none of them were willing to leave.
