Chapter 438 She Was So Thoughtless And Inattentive
Xu Youning smoothed down her clothes and left the private room.
Anyway, when Yang Shanshan rushed in and Mu Sijue stayed in front of her, she should thank him.
Otherwise, if Yang Shanshan made a scene, it must be her who was disgraced and joked.
Mu Sijue still stood in the corridor outside, and Xu Youning stopped when she was more than a meter away from him. The distance showed that she was familiar with him but guarded against him.
“As you said, I should be pleased that I’m still useful, but please let me know in advance if you need my cooperation next time. After all, what if I fail to respond and let you down?”
She looked at Mu Sijue, saying these words calmly, as if the grievance and frustration in her heart was just her illusion and she was not upset to be treated like this at all.
Mu Sijue looked in Xu Youning’s eyes with an unfathomable look. After a while, he said nothing.
Xu Youning had been accustomed to being disappointed with him, and curled her lips. “I’m leaving now.”
Soon after she arrived at home, she received a call from Ah Guang. “Sister Youning, have you, have you arrived at home?” stammered Ah Guang.
“Yeah.” Xu Youning suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Ah Guang, what’s wrong with you?”
“Well, no.” Ah Guang obviously intended to laugh, but his voice sounded more like crying to her. “I just want to ask if you get home. Since you’re at home, I’ll hang up first.”
Before Xu Youning had time to say something, the call was over.
Ah Guang used to admit that he liked talking to her very much, so he was always ready to talk to her at ordinary times when he was free. He was a bit unusual today.
Before she could think of an answer, Xu Youning had fallen into a deep sleep.
Ah Guang, who was several tens of kilometers away, was not at ease. He was still running around to look for the information about Zhao Yinghong, and getting ready for dealing with Zhao Yinghong.
Originally, that was not what he should do.
But an hour ago, he took great effort to send Yang Shanshan back, but when he returned to the private room and did not see Xu Youning, he asked in confusion, “Seventh Brother, where is Sister Youning?”
Mu Sijue did not reply but asked, “Do you care about her?”
“Of course I do,” Ah Guang answered subconsciously. “Except for my family, Sister Youning is now the person I care for most!”
Of course, he meant that he considered Xu Youning as his friend, instead of a woman he loved.
However, his words still offended Mu Sijue, whose face clouded over. When he just realized that he was a cannon fodder, he was immediately asked to fulfill these tasks. At this moment, he was in deep remorse.
…
The next day.
Xu Youning’s self-healing capability was extraordinarily strong. When she woke up, she had forgotten what had happened yesterday, happily washing herself and getting ready to work.
Halfway through breakfast, she heard someone ringing the doorbell, and the pressing sound made Xu Youning have a bad feeling.
She stopped Auntie Sun and opened the door herself. Sure enough, it was Yang Shanshan who surely did not have friendly intentions.
“I thought you were afraid to open the door.” Yang Shanshan took off her sunglasses and looked at Xu Youning with a sneer.
Xu Youning also said with a smile, “Oh, I would not open the door usually when it’s a wild dog and the like outside. Oh my God, Miss Yang, why do you think of yourself as a dog?”
Yang Shanshan choked up because of Xu Youning’s words, with her face clouding over. “I really don’t know why Sijue likes you.”
“You don’t need to know that.” Xu Youning said with a bright smile, “You just need to know that you’re not worthy of Mu Sijue’s love at all.”
When she was at school, she could defend her argument very well.
Yang Shanshan was just playing with fire when she wanted to ridicule her!
“You…” Yang Shanshan was so angry that she swore a lot in English.
Xu Youning replied readily and fluently, and finally shrugged innocently. “In terms of quarrelling, you have lost to me. Maybe, you can try hitting me.”
Because of her father’s status, everyone around Yang Shanshan treated her as the apple in the eye since she was a child. No one dared to disobey her, let alone to challenge her. Now Xu Youning was just the bane of Yang Shanshan.
In front of the bane, Yang Shanshan had no regard for her elegance and politeness.
“You must have used some methods to tempt Sijue!”
Immediately after she finished her speaking, Yang Shanshan raised her hand and tried to slap Xu Youning hard.
Xu Youning did not expect Yang Shanshan to really hit her. With her face clouding over, she caught Yang Shanshan’s hand accurately, and wrung it. Yang Shanshan not only failed to hit her, but also suffered a lot.
Although her father was tough, Yang Shanshan had been raised as a little princess, with a low level of physical strength and force. Xu Youning’s strike had already been beyond her tolerance. “Ah!” She screamed in pain, and the tears began to well up in her eyes. She stared at Xu Youning with resentment.
Xu Youning said with a casual smile, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have the Black Belt of Taekwondo. In terms of fighting, you will also lose to me.”
“Let go of my hand!” Yang Shanshan seemed to be painful. “Xu Youning, don’t push me too hard!”
“Hmm…” Xu Youning burst into laughter. “Miss Yang, you have spent so much time abroad that you slip back badly in mandarin.” She paused and said seriously, “Well, even if I push you too hard, that’s because you want to cause trouble to me first. How could you blame me?”
Yang Shanshan was unwilling to give up and tried to struggle, but when she just moved a bit, she unexpectedly felt a sharp pain. The tears in her eyes finally ran down her cheeks.
Xu Youning knew it was time to stop, unhurriedly releasing Yang Shanshan and saying, “Are you particularly angry that I have the man you like all to myself?”
“…” Yang Shanshan rubbed her sore wrist and did not speak.
Xu Youning did not mind her silence and added, “You like Mu Sijue, and I like him, too. We are not wrong. Mu Sijue is indeed more intimate with me, but that is his choice. I never play tricks on him, and even if I have tricks of my own, I dare not play them on Mu Sijue.”
“…” Yang Shanshan actually thought that Xu Youning was right.
“Also, if he ignores me and chooses to be with you, I won’t make any complaint or go to cause trouble to you. No one can change the choice made by Mu Sijue. Anyone who tries to interfere with his choice usually doesn’t end well.” After a pause, Xu Youning added, “Miss Yang, you should learn to be smart.”
Yang Shanshan was displeased with her words. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t know what Mu Sijue means.” Xu Youning bluntly said, “You don’t know what he likes and hates; you don’t know when you can talk to him and when you should stay far away from him… Most of the time, you even do what he hates.”
“Do you mean that instead of liking me, Sijue even hates me?”
Xu Youning threw up her hands and said, “If you do something that one hates, will that person still like you? I don’t like you anyway.”
Yang Shanshan bit her lip and pondered for a long time, and finally she focused her gaze on Xu Youning’s face.
At first glance, she just looked nice. But on closer inspection, her features were able to stand up to scrutiny. Her smile was amiable and convincing.
Yang Shanshan suddenly realized that Xu Youning was taking advantage of her strengths to deceive her. If she bought her story and was convinced, she would completely lose to this woman.
She had no regard for Xu Youning’s words and looked at Xu Youning coldly. “I won’t buy your story.”
Xu Youning choked up and sighed. “That’s all I want to say. Believe it or not.”
After that, she intended to close the door and shut Yang Shanshan who was so annoying out of her house.
Yang Shanshan stopped her agilely, and said with a smile, “Xu Youning, I don’t believe that I will lose to you.”
Xu Youning laughed. “I thought that I have shown you the answer. I was wrong. You are a bit slower than I thought.”
Yang Shanshan smiled disdainfully, wearing her sunglasses. “Just wait and see. I will surely drive you away from Mu Sijue. I’m the only woman who will accompany him till the end.”
“Well, it’s possible in your dream if you go back and have a sleep. Bye!” Xu Youning slammed the door and went on with breakfast.
She did not talk to Mu Sijue about Yang Shanshan’s visit. Nor did she think that Yang Shanshan would get her in trouble.
It was proven that she was so thoughtless and inattentive.
Since the third day, Yang Shanshan had been causing trouble to her. From the third day, Yang Shanshan kept looking for her troubles.
First, the police came to her home, saying that her house was partly illegally constructed, and she handled it calmly.
Perhaps after that, Yang Shanshan found an old woman in her family, and Yang Shanshan actually started to target her grandmother.
Xu Youning’s grandma was her bottom line, but she could handle it, so she did not intend to escalate the dispute until Yang Shanshan really hurt her bottom line.
This afternoon, while Xu Youning was working outside, she suddenly received a call from Auntie Sun who told her in panic, “Youning, your grandma… Your grandma was sent to the hospital.”
“What happened to my grandma?” Xu Youning asked while rushing out, “Auntie Sun, calm down and tell me what happened.”
“This afternoon, a bunch of police came to our house.” Auntie Sun said incoherently, “They said that you were suspected of engaging in illegal activities, and that you had committed so serious offenses that you would be sentenced to death… On hearing that news, your grandmother fainted. We are now at the People’s Hospital. ”
“I’m going now.” Xu Youning got into the car and went on the call over Bluetooth. “Auntie Sun, please take care of my grandma first.”
When Xu Youning arrived at the hospital, Grandmother’s emergency surgery had just ended, and the old woman who was attached to an air tube was pushed out of the emergency room. She closed her eyes tightly, with being barely breathing.
Xu Youning was most afraid that one day, her grandmother suddenly failed to open her eyes, starting her journey to another world and leaving her alone in such a lonely and indifferent world.
She walked over and tightly held her grandmother’s hand. For a long while, she remained speechless.
“The patient needs rest,” said the nurse. “Go through the admission procedures. Only one person can be allowed in the ward.”
Auntie Sun went to pay the fee, while Xu Youning followed the nurse to help her grandmother settle down, and then went to ask the doctor about her grandma’ situation.
“She was just agitated.” The doctor said, “Your grandmother was originally in bad condition. Don’t let her be as agitated as today in the future, otherwise irreversible accidents will easily happen.”
“I see. Thank you, doctor.”
As soon as she left the doctor’s office, Xu Youning called Ah Guang.
It must be Yang Shanshan who did it. This time, no matter who she would offend, she would not let her go easily!
