Chapter 4 Chief
- Liu Jun tugged on my hair again as he pulled me close to the monitor, “Have you taken a good look at it? What else do you have to say? You b****, acting all innocent in front of me after cheating on me with another man! Why don't you just die already?”
- It was so painful that I felt like my hair was going to get ripped out by him. I only managed to break free of his grasp by stomping on his foot with all my might, sending him reeling backwards in pain.
- “What right do you have to criticize me? You wouldn't do anything when our child got sick, and you wouldn't let me sell our house either. I had no choice but to figure out a way myself! There's no way I'd just leave my own child to die!”
- Liu Jun pointed a finger at me, “Trying to justify cheating, are you? You shameless whore, I'll teach you a lesson!”
- I saw that he was going to hit me again, so I grabbed a knife from the table, “Don't come closer or I'll give you hell!”
- I really wasn't just trying to scare him off, but rather, my heart was already dead at that point. I would not hesitate to put up a fight if he dared come any closer.
- Although Liu Jun didn't make a move, his mother did. The two then worked together and chased me out of the house, and wouldn't open the door no matter how hard I banged on it.
- I wandered down the street in despair as I didn't know where else to go. I couldn't go home, and Liu Jun had hidden my son from me.
- An advertisement of a newlywed couple was playing on the big screen in the city, and the handsome groom in the advertisement was none other than Mu Chenfeng himself.
- I stared wide-eyed at the screen in shock and thought to myself, if he would be willing to help me, I might just be able to get my son back from Liu Jun. Liu Jun knew I was poor and yet he demanded a million from me as compensation. He must've recognized the man in the video as Mu Chenfeng and knew that he was a rich guy, so that's why he got greedy.
- I was lost in thought when my phone suddenly rang, and I saw that it was my manager calling.
- The manager was speaking so politely to me that it made me feel very uncomfortable and awkward. He said Mr. Mu was looking for me, and gave me a number.
- Right as I was thinking of asking Mu Chenfeng for help, he reached out to me first? The coincidence was unbelievable.
- I anxiously dialed the number and he answered shortly after, “This is Mu Chenfeng.”
- I jumped in shock and stammered, “I'm Lin Anan.”
- I was afraid that he might not recognize my name, so I explained that I was the one he dropped off at Huadong Hospital earlier.
- He said flirtatiously, “Oh, you should've said you're Lin Anan that had sex with me at the hotel without a single moan. I would recall you better that way.”
- I could feel my face burning even though he was just saying that over the phone.
- “Do you... have anything to tell me?”
- “No, I was just worried that you might be selling your body again and can't find a client. You can contact me if that's the case.” He continued to tease.
- His words were too hurtful and caused my temper to flare, but I tried my best to suppress it.
- “There is...... Something I need your help with......”
- “Sure.” He answered before I could even finish.
- I paused, He just said yes without even asking me what the matter was?
- “My son has been taken by my husband from the hospital, and he's demanding a million......”
- He interrupted me once again, “Whatever your problems are, I can solve them for you. Someone will pick you up at noon tomorrow.”
- I was about to ask him where they would take me and what we would be doing but he had hung up.
- I was confused and unsure of what to do as he didn't tell me where we were going and what we would be doing.
- He even said he would take care of whatever problems I had, which sounded dodgy but I found it believable somehow.
- The bus arrived, and I got on board. I was able to see his wedding advertisements along the way, and sighed at how tragic my marriage was.
- I returned to the staff dormitory at the mall and borrowed a blanket from my colleague. I spent the night drifting in and out of sleep, and returned to work sleepily the next day.
- I was unable to focus at work as I kept thinking about where Mu Chenfeng would take me and what we would do. Would he really help me get my son back?
- At two o'clock in the afternoon, the manager ran to the counter and told me that someone was looking for me outside.
- At the entrance of the mall, a man dressed in a suit smiled at me as he bent over and opened the car door, saying Chief had sent for me.
- I shuddered when I heard the name Chief again.
- My mother-in-law had mentioned that the father of my son was a person called Chief, but when I asked Liu Jun who he was, he wouldn't tell me.
- Could Chief actually be Mu Chenfeng? How was that possible?
