Because of the new round of strategic cooperation with Ji Lin, Bai Duanduan was in a good mood. Every day was like a new spring season for her and she even thought to slightly relax her control over Ms. Meng Xin. It was a pity that Ms. Meng Xin was not the kind of a person who would repay your kindness with kindness and sincerity.
On the contrary, Ms. Meng Xin has a talent of bullying the weak and fearing the tough. She was strong when the other parties were weak. In the past two days, when she saw that Bai Duanduan had actually let down her guard, Ms. Meng behaved like a scumbag man who had been caught cheating on his wife. After going through the process of begging for forgiveness on her knees and crying and swearing to return to her family and behave properly again, Bai Duanduan released a sigh of relief. Unfortunately after a period of peace, this unruly heart of hers began to stir again when she saw that original wife, that is, Bai Duanduan had relaxed her grip on her again.
There was not much time left before the current month would come to an end. Bai Duanduan needs to start preparing to enter Sheng Lin. Therefore, this morning, she has to go to the Law Association and apply for a lawyer transfer to practice in a different law firm.
âAuntie Meng, I have something to do in the city so I have to go for a while. I wonât be back until around noon or afternoon. I have ordered you a healthy meal for lunch. Remember to take your insulin, Iâll check your blood sugar level when I get back.â
Meng Xin cooperated by nodding her head, with a big righteous face, âGo on, Xiao Bai, itâs okay if you canât come back by noon. Iâll give you a day off today. Donât worry, I wonât tell my son either so no deduction of your salary!â
Seeing that Bai Duanduan was still pensive, Meng Xin added, âDonât worry, Xiao Bai, Iâm not going anywhere. Iâll just wait for you at home, and I wonât eat indiscriminately, let alone go out to play mahjong. As you know, I have long had no love for mahjong â¦â¦â
However, precisely because Meng Xin was too cooperative, Bai Duanduan instead felt that she was very deliberate in her conduct. In the end, Bai Duanduan decided to keep an eye on her. After leaving the house, she did not leave for the city immediately, but hid in the bushes not far from the villa.â¦â¦
Sure enough, less than ten minutes after she left on her front foot, Ms. Meng Xin dressed up and walked out of the door on her back foot. She called a taxi and sat up steadily, making a phone call all the while, âAlright, alright, three missing one, you guys? Wait for me, I want to have a good time today!â
Bai Duanduan sneered in her heart, saying that she had no love for mahjong anymore. Itâs almost as unbelievable as a scumbag declaring that heâs long been immune to the outside worldâs flora and fauna. The lawyerâs application for transfer to a new practice can be done any other day anyway. She has been too kind to Ji Linâs mother lately, and it was high time now to pick some bone with her. ;
As a lawyer, Bai Duanduanâs professionalism led her not to jump out and take Ms. Meng away in a wave. After all, even if she was caught now, she could still deny that she only wanted to go out to buy something, not to play mahjong. This kind of treachery must be caught red handed as hard evidence.
The matter should not be delayed, and Bai Duanduan did not think twice about it. She hurriedly took a taxi and followed Ms. Meng Xin out after her.
After getting into the car, Bai Duanduan didnât waste anymore time and she called Meng Xin, âAuntie Meng, where are you? Are you at home? Why did I call the landline at home and no one answered it just now?â
Meng Xinâs acting skills were pretty good and she said in a surprised tone, âDid the landline ring just now? I didnât hear it at all, did I? But the other day Lin Lin also told me that he couldnât find anyone when he called the landline. Obviously I was at home, maybe because the landline has been in disrepair for not being in use for a long time and has been replaced. Weâll get a technician to look at it when you get home this afternoon, okay?â
âSo you are at home?â
âYes! Iâm at home!â Ms. Meng Xin smiled calmly, âYou donât have to worry about me, you go about your business!â
â¦â¦
Okay, I guess, Bai Duanduan thought, thatâs all I need from you.
Soon, Ms. Mengâs car stopped in front of her, and Bai Duanduan knew that if she got out of the car here and walked a hundred or so meters down a small alley, it would lead to a card and chess room.
Bai Duanduan was acting like a wife of a bad husband who had come to catch her husband in the act of cheating. She hurriedly got out of the car and was ready to follow Meng Xin towards the chess room.
She doesnât know if Meng Xin had a doubt in her heart, but after she got out of the car, she probably felt quite uneasy and looked around for a while. And with just a peek, she caught a glimpse of Bai Duanduan, who had also gotten out of the taxi.
Now thatâs not good! Ms Meng Xin panicked. Her first reaction was to run, however she forgot that she was wearing high heels. She didnât look at the road and stepped on the edge of the intersection on the spot and twisted her foot.
She cried out in pain on the spot, âAiya, Aiya, Aiya, it hurts me!â There was no point in running away at this point, so she turned towards Bai Duanduan and called out for help, âXiao Bai, come and help me, Iâve sprained my leg, I feel like I canât walk anymore.â
Bai Duanduan couldnât care less about âcatching the cheaterâ, she rushed over and helped Meng Xing, âAuntie Meng, are you alright?â
The edge of the junction wasnât very high, so although she had stepped over, it shouldnât actually have had too serious an impact. As it happened, Ms. Meng Xin waved her hand when she came back to her senses, âItâs okayâ¦â
However, just as she said those two words, she suddenly changed her tune in a picturesque manner, âItâs okay â¦â¦ itâs not okay.â
? ? ?
Meng Xin coughed, âI feel that this leg sprain is quite serious. I may not be able to walk for a while. I have to be in a wheelchair. Hey, Xiao Bai, so I canât do the exercise after meals every day.â
Oh⦠â¦it turns out that this was what was stored in her heart all this time.
Bai Duanduan stared at Ms. Meng Xin, who was pretending to be in pain and could no longer walk upright, and sneered in her heart. She has been caught sneaking out to play mahjong, and she was still trying to turn the tables and find an excuse to escape from her daily exercise?
Dream on!
âAuntie Meng, youâre injured. You canât even walk or move your legs, so of course you canât exercise anymore.â Bai Duanduan looked at Meng Xin and smiled gently, âBut before that, wonât Auntie Meng explain how she got injured?â
Bai Duanduan glanced at the chess room with a sense of meaning, âWasnât Auntie Meng still at home when I spoke to you on the phone a few minutes ago? Itâs not night time now, so Auntie Meng canât be sleepwalking, can she? And the speed is also amazing ah, it only took a few minutes to complete the half an hour drive distance? And why does this place feel so familiar? Isnât it the mahjong hall that Auntie Meng and I came to last time? But Aunt Meng still swore to me this morning that she has no love for mahjong anymore?â
ââ¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan smiled, âAnd Auntie Meng, because your fruit intake this week exceeded the standard set by your personal doctor, there is no reward for completing the target this week, that means, even if you want to play mahjong, you canât.â
Meng Xin stumbled and tried to hang on for dear life, âI just came over to see my good friends. Iâm not here to play mahjong. I just havenât seen them for a long time and wanted to come over and natter. Didnât you tell me that I should move around more during the week? Iâm just following your good advice, donât I?!â
Unfortunately, as soon as Meng Xin finished her sophistry, her old friend came out of the chess room, and when she saw Meng, she was delighted, âMeng, youâre finally here! Weâve been waiting for you for a long time. Itâs so hard to see you nowadays. You said youâve got rid of your annoying stalker arse kicker of a domestic helper this time, right? I ordered the cheesecake and chocolate matcha ice cream and butterscotch biscuits you wanted for lunch today â¦â¦â
As an annoying stalker arse kicker of a domestic helper, Bai Duanduan gave Meng Xin an expressionless look.
ââ¦â¦â
âCheesecake? Chocolate matcha ice cream? Butterscotch biscuits?â
ââ¦â¦â
âAuntie Meng, do you think you can get in the car yourself and come back with me, or should I tie you up and bring you back with me?â
ââ¦â¦â
âOh, by the way, we canât go home first. Auntie Meng, you hurt your foot so badly that you canât walk anymore. Letâs go to the hospital to register and get you an X-ray done. We should get you hospitalized and put a plaster cast on it and also get surgery performed.â
When Meng Xin heard that she had to go to the hospital, she immediately waved her hand and said, âItâs not a problem, Xiao Bai. I have old bones so I fell down and sprained my foot. I canât walk anymore so you can just push me on a wheelchair to home. I will buy some plaster cast and stick them on. We donât need to go to the hospital at all. A trip to the hospital is a waste of money and a lot of work and more trouble for you, isnât it?â
Unfortunately, Bai Duanduan was determined and said with a smile, âNo trouble, auntie, your health is my first priority.â
âHey, thereâs no need â¦â¦ Xiao Bai, thereâs really no need â¦â¦â
Itâs a pity that Meng Xinâs protests were ineffective. Bai Duanduan with an iron face, shoved her into a taxi and took her all the way to the hospital, where she then registered her, saw a doctor and had her X-ray films taken.
