Having fired off a series of questions, Ying You'an's playful spirit flared up. He deliberately distorted the truth and said, "A young man and a young woman in a room. What do you think we could be doing?"
"What on earth do you want?"
No one knew better than Meng Nianchu whether there was anything wrong with her body. Naturally, she didn't believe a word he said. She placed her small hand on her belly and quickly jumped out of the bed. She scurried to a corner and eyed Ying You'an warily. "How do you know I'm looking for Wang Long? Was it your idea?"
"Guess."
Ying You'an didn't give a direct answer. He sat up and walked towards Meng Nianchu step by step. When he stood in front of her, he pinched her chin and said, "You're still as stupid as ever."
"Did you do it?" In her anger, Meng Nianchu summoned unexpected strength. Caught off guard, Ying You'an staggered back a step.
Seeing that Meng Nianchu was really angry, Ying You'an lost interest in the prank. He shrugged and said, "It wasn't me."
Meng Nianchu looked cold. "Then what are you doing here?"
"I just saw you fainting on the roadside and took pity on you, so I brought you here. You don't even show gratitude and instead wrongly accuse me. It's really hurtful."
Meng Nianchu stared intently into his eyes. "If you dare to have any evil designs on my family, I won't let you off!"
Leaving behind this harsh warning, she was about to dash out.
Suddenly, Ying You'an blocked the door. "If it weren't for me, God knows what might have happened to you while you were unconscious. Aren't you going to thank me before just leaving like this?"
"Get out of my way!"
Having a poor impression of him, Meng Nianchu pushed him away forcefully and walked out of the room quickly without looking back.
Watching her walk out of the hotel angrily, Ying You'an's smile faded and turned gloomy. He clenched his right fist and punched the wall hard. The pain on the back of his hand was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
Meng Nianchu walked out of the hotel deep in thought. She just couldn't figure out that if Ying You'an wasn't behind this, then who sent her the anonymous email asking her to go to the bar on Northeast Road and knocked her out?
But if it was Ying You'an, the Meng family had never had any disputes with him. He didn't need to go through so much trouble to deal with the Meng family...
Meng Rong?
The name suddenly popped into her mind. Meng Nianchu instinctively believed that it was she who did such a thing.
While considering how to investigate whether this matter had anything to do with Meng Rong, suddenly a cold breeze blew from behind. Ying You'an appeared in front of Meng Nianchu with a playful smile.
"It's not safe for you to walk alone. How about I give you a ride?"
"No need." Meng Nianchu quickened her pace and walked past him.
Ying You'an clung to her like a piece of sticky plaster. "I've heard that Miss Meng is always gentle and kind to others. Why are you so cold towards me?"
Meng Nianchu ignored him. He answered his own question. "Is it because you feel so close to me that you don't need to put on a disguise in front of me?"
"I don't have time to waste on you. Go away quickly."
"But I have time. We were just lying on the same bed in the same room. How could you turn your back on me as soon as you put on your clothes?"
His words were extremely ambiguous.
Meng Nianchu stopped, turned to look at him, her face cold. Her words were like ice. "I'm warning you not to talk nonsense!"
"Going back to Shangting?" Ying You'an changed the subject.
Meng Nianchu pursed her red lips and strode forward. Seeing that Ying You'an was still following her, Meng Nianchu pointed her index finger at the tip of his nose and threatened coldly, "Don't follow me anymore!"
She lifted her legs and walked forward.
This time, Ying You'an really didn't follow.
During their confrontation, neither of them noticed that not far behind them, a faint blue light flashed and a "click" sound was heard as someone took a photo of their backs.
Although there was nothing wrong with her body, Meng Nianchu was still worried. After getting rid of Ying You'an, she rushed to the hospital for a full-body check-up.
The doctor took the test report and pushed it in front of Meng Nianchu. "There's nothing wrong with your body. The baby is fine too. Don't worry."
"Really?" Meng Nianchu asked uncertainly.
The doctor said affirmatively, "Really."
Leaving the hospital with the test report, Meng Nianchu still couldn't figure it out. If nothing had happened to her, then what was the purpose of deliberately luring her to the bar on Northeast Road and knocking her out from behind?
Had they really done nothing?
This kind of hidden danger was the most terrifying. Meng Nianchu was worried and wanted to go to the vicinity of Northeast Road to see if there were any clues.
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, her phone rang suddenly.
Her mother's anxious voice came from the receiver. "Nianchu, your father is ill. He's in the hospital. Come here quickly!"
Hearing this, Meng Nianchu immediately hailed a taxi and rushed there.
"You shouldn't have called Nianchu. She's pregnant. What if something happens to her on the way here in a hurry?"
Out of breath, Meng Nianchu ran all the way to the door of her father's ward. Her father's voice came from inside the ward.
Meng Nianchu pushed the door open and walked in. "What's wrong?"
Seeing her coming, her mother moved a chair for her to sit on. "The doctor said he fainted suddenly because of long hours of work and excessive stress."
"A few days of rest will do." Her father was afraid that Meng Nianchu would worry, so he quickly added.
Knowing her father's intention and seeing that his complexion was okay, Meng Nianchu didn't press further. She didn't dare to tell her father about the incident of being attacked from behind when she went out. She kept it to herself.
In the evening, her father returned to Shangting.
As soon as he got home, he received a call from Mu Junze, saying that the negotiation with Tianmin Company had been quite successful. The other side was willing to give them three more days to find the real person who had plagiarized the design.
As long as they found Wang Long, this matter would have nothing to do with the Meng family.
Meng Nianchu listened as Mu Junze calmly told her about his situation in the United States. She was about to ask when he would be back.
Before she could ask, Mu Junze had already answered, "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
Suddenly, she felt as if she had found a pillar of support. The anxious mood that had been hanging over her for a whole day suddenly eased. She laughed and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay."
After a few simple greetings from Meng Nianchu, the call ended.
Fortunately, Tianmin Company was willing to give them three more days. This was the only good news in the past two days.
Meng Nianchu heaved a long sigh. Too many things had happened in just two days, confusing her and giving her a splitting headache.
Suddenly, something popped into her mind. Fragments of past memories mixed together. She suddenly remembered that Meng Rong had had some connection with Wang Long when competing for the company's inheritance. Among the many people in the company who had supported Meng Rong to inherit the Meng family company, Wang Long was one of them!
Thinking of this, Meng Nianchu's expression turned cold and goosebumps rose on her back.
These two despicable people!
