C29 The Handcuffs Are on My Wrists

On the following Wednesday, just when the renovation of Deng Chuchu's wedding room was about to come to an end, she suddenly contacted me.

She said she had thought of a new idea for the backyard design.

Previously, we had built a Japanese-style courtyard in her small backyard according to her request. Now that it was almost completed, she then said that she had new ideas again.

She was really giving me a headache.

By adhering to the principle of 'customer foremost', I patiently told her, "Miss Deng, it's like this. You're the one who approved the backyard design plan previously, and now it's almost completed. If you want to change the plan now, the previous budget will be..."

"Are you afraid that I can't afford it?"

Before I could finish explaining, Deng Chuchu yelled at me over the phone.

She was afraid I would look down on her as if she could not afford the renovation.

After realizing that she was willing to pay for it, I immediately said, "Alright, let's arrange a time to meet up for further discussion."

Deng Chuchu was not easy to deal with, seeing that she was a celebrity — a superior being in her own eyes.

I was told that she had been filming in a beautiful ancient courtyard near Yancheng recently, therefore, she wanted to make her backyard looked similar too.

I felt extremely distressed that the distance between the city and the mountain was miles apart. Besides, I would need around two hours drive and go through all the winding roads just to arrived at the destination.

But customers are the most important.

I could only agree to her unreasonable request.

Our appointment time was set at twelve o'clock afternoon the next day because it just so happened that she was free at that time.

I rushed up the hill early in the morning, and finally arrived at the ancient courtyard she talked about at twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

However, Deng Chuchu's assistant came to me and informed me that due to the delay of her filming schedule, her scene had changed to noon, asking me to slightly wait for a while.

And because they were currently shooting in the courtyard, I could only wait for her outside.

The scenery on the mountain was breathtaking and the air was so fresh, almost sweet and floral as the pace of living relaxes to a steadier rhythm.

I sat on a rock in a daze, feeling relaxed.

In less than half an hour, Deng Chuchu's assistant came looking for me again, saying that she needed a long, dry branch for filming. Therefore, she asked me to look for it on the mountain and bring it back later.

She really knew how to order people around.

However, I did not dare to refuse her request. After all, Deng Chuchu was not an easy-going person, if she would have made things difficult for me at work, it would be troublesome.

Along the way, the mountain path looked clean as if it had been cleaned up some someone. Not to mention any dried branches, there was not even a huge rock.

I had been searching for the branch for about half an hour and I really could not find any. When I decided to return to the courtyard...

I turned around and saw Qin Jiameng!

What was she doing here?

A chill went down my spine, feeling something bad might happen! I wanted to take a detour, but Qin Jiameng walked towards me.

"Why are you here?" I asked her.

Qin Jiameng looked at me with a fake smile and said, "Jiaqi, you invited me to the temple in the mountain, saying that the Buddha will grant good health for our children."

I was stupefied, not knowing what she was talking about!

I felt anxious out of the sudden.

There was no one around, if she pushed me down from here, I would have miscarriaged by the time someone found me!

The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became! So, I turned around and ran right away!

Qin Jiameng instantly grabbed me onto my arm, then I swung her hand away and ran for my life!

All I wanted was to keep my baby safe!

After running for some distances, I turned around and noticed that Qin Jiameng had not caught up with me, only then I felt relief.

However, when I returned to the place where Deng Chuchu was filming, her assistant came to me and said that Deng Chuchu was tired from filming, so she had canceled the plan of renovating her courtyard.

The moment when I heard that, anger boiled deep in my system as if the volcano within me was about to errupt.

She had just wasted a day of my time, and she almost killed my child too!

I stormed down the mountain and went back to the office to work.

Until eleven o'clock at night, even though I still wanted to work, I was afraid that my baby would not be able to take it. Therefore, I had to stop working and go home for some rest.

Just as I reached the door of my house, a few police officers walked over and said, "Qin Jiaqi, there's evidence that you're involved in an intentional assault case. Please come with us."

With that, he put the handcuffs on my wrists.
