Su Jingsheng raised her hand and pinched her cheek hard.
It hurt.
This was not a dream.
She widened her eyes in astonishment as she looked at the four large words, “Huihe Group,” above her.
She had really, truly won the deal...
In an instant, tears gathered in her eyes. All the worries and sleepless nights of the past month had finally been answered, and she was so happy she was nearly out of control.
The first thing she wanted to do was report the good news to Hu Feng and the others.
Just as she took out her phone, a man suddenly charged out from the corner, swung his hand, and slapped her across the face before cursing her viciously.
“Su Jingsheng, you slut! Where did you take my daughter? She’s only one month old! Where is she?”
The man was wearing a suit, yet he muttered incoherently like a madman.
He suddenly shouted at the passing pedestrians, “Everyone, take a look at this slut! She got involved with another man while she was pregnant, sold my daughter as soon as she gave birth, and then disappeared without a trace! Su Jingsheng, how could I have ever fallen for such a vicious woman? Give my daughter back! Give her back!”
The man stepped forward and swept the things in Su Jingsheng’s arms to the ground.
Papers scattered all over the floor.
The ferocious man was about to tear at her when Su Jingsheng finally reacted and desperately guarded the document.
She lunged forward, and just as the man raised his foot, it came crashing down onto her lower back. With that single blow, Su Jingsheng felt as though her bones were about to shatter.
The security guards finally realized something was wrong. One stepped forward and forced the man back with an electric baton, while the others helped Su Jingsheng up.
Su Jingsheng’s face contorted with pain. She handed the documents and the project proposal to a Security Guard and asked him to deliver them inside.
After confirming that she had nothing the man wanted, Su Jingsheng said directly, “I don’t know this person. He’s insane. Call the police.”
Su Yuning? Lin Ning? Or Su Dahai?
They were truly ruthless. They had found out the moment she arrived.
“Heh heh.” The man laughed mockingly. “You dare say your name isn’t Su Jingsheng? You dare say you never had a child? Everyone, just lift her clothes and look at her stomach. She just gave birth, so she must have stretch marks.”
The man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed toward the passersby, accusing Su Jingsheng with all his might.
“She’s exactly that kind of woman—a woman who can act and deceive people.”
“I spent two million marrying her, and before a year had passed, she cheated on me and even sold my daughter.”
“Everyone, look at how heartless this woman is! My parents are still staying in the hospital. We don’t want anything anymore. I can divorce her and let her go, as long as she returns my daughter to me. She’s my beloved person!”
The man collapsed onto the ground and struck it excitedly, weeping bitterly.
Seeing how devastated the man was, the passersby began blaming Su Jingsheng one after another.
“As the saying goes, even a tiger won’t eat its cubs. I never thought there could be such a vicious mother.”
“Look at how she ruined that entire family. One went mad, another became ill, and she’s still putting on an act here. Disgusting.”
The Female receptionist hurried over. Seeing the situation, she was utterly bewildered. “Miss Su, are you all right? Are you injured? Security guards, hurry and send this man to the police station.”
The address “Miss Su” completely ignited the pedestrians’ fury.
“What business is this company meddling in? This is someone else’s private matter.”
“If he weren’t your husband, how would he know your name? How vicious.”
“Bah! A woman like that is wasting air just by being alive. Call the police quickly and have this woman charged.”
Su Jingsheng was speechless. Could she really not explain herself?
Faced with the increasingly agitated crowd, even the security guards had no way to deal with them and could only prevent them from moving forward.
The crowd of onlookers kept growing.
Su Jingsheng steeled herself and lifted her clothes, exposing her stomach. “Fine. He claims I just gave birth. Look at my abdomen. Does this look like someone who gave birth a month ago?”
Su Jingsheng’s skin was smooth and flawless, clearly that of a young girl. How could she possibly be a married woman, much less a mother who had given birth?
The passersby were completely stunned.
Su Jingsheng looked at the man with disgust. “Second, although I’m not a particularly famous celebrity, I’m Su Jingsheng, the eldest daughter of the su family. Everyone can look up my identity online. I don’t even have a boyfriend, so where would I get a husband?”
“Third, I’m not short of money, nor am I brain-dead. There’s no shortage of people who want to marry me, so why would I marry a madman like you? What could I possibly want from you?”
All of Su Jingsheng’s explanations made the man’s accusations untenable. Those who had been cursing Su Jingsheng instantly fell silent to watch the spectacle.
Seeing the passersby calm down, the man immediately panicked and flung a stack of photographs from his pocket.
“You dare say the person in these photographs isn’t you? That this child isn’t your daughter? It’s true that you’re the Su Family’s daughter, but everyone can look it up online. You were unhappy in the Su Family and wanted to break free, which was why you came looking for me.”
“Her stomach is simply like that because of her constitution. I’m not lying. I swear on my parents in the hospital bed. Please, everyone, help me. I don’t want anything else—only my daughter!”
Su Jingsheng retorted coldly, “Your parents aren’t even in hospital beds, so what are you swearing on?”
“You’ve been lying from the very beginning. You edited these pictures, didn’t you? For the past month, I’ve been busy with company matters and working late every day. Would I have had the time to take a child out to play? How ridiculous. You must be an opponent trying to smear me. Sorry, but I’ve already obtained the contract. Your scheme is useless now.”
Su Jingsheng touched her burning cheek, her eyes turning cold. “And as for you assaulting me, I reserve the right to take legal action. I’ll see you in court.”
She no longer paid attention to the bystanders’ discussion and returned to the company with the receptionist’s support.
In front of the glass, she saw the distinct imprint of five fingers on her face.
The man had used all his strength. If she hadn’t reacted in time and dodged slightly, she would already be sprawled on the ground.
The receptionist asked worriedly, “Miss Su, should you go to the hospital? Your face seems seriously injured.”
Su Jingsheng shook her head. “Forget it. I still have to give your company a satisfactory answer. I’ll sit down and rest for a while first.”
Seeing that she could not persuade Su Jingsheng, the receptionist could only give up.
The worst pain was not in her face but her waist. She estimated that a large area had already reddened, and by the time she returned, it would probably be covered in bruises.
Fortunately, her constitution was special, just like her mother’s. When she had been pregnant with Duoduo, her belly had not grown very large.
Even after giving birth, her body would not retain overly obvious marks. Otherwise, she truly would not have been able to explain herself.
Besides, those photographs were real.
However, Lu Qingyu had been standing somewhat farther away at the time. They did not look like they were together, so the other party had not captured him in the photographs.
Fortunately. Otherwise, things really would have been disastrous.
Thinking of something, she took out her phone and sent Lu Qingyu a text message: Someone is watching me. Don’t come to my apartment recently.
The other party quickly replied: All right.
Seeing this, Su Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The tightly drawn string inside her finally relaxed, and all the pain in her body concentrated in her waist. She could only close her eyes and gradually dull the agony.
After resting for a while, she hailed a roadside taxi. As soon as she got in, Su Jingsheng said to the master, “master, I’m in a hurry. Please drive faster.”
She had to hurry back and create the best mini-games possible.
She absolutely could not betray Huihe’s trust!
