Chapter 617 Attack
Yin Jia sat alone in an alfresco cafe in Changxing Square. The cup of coffee in front of her had long turned cold. She looked at the Mu Group’s building across the street silently like a statue.
At this time, someone walked past Yin Jia’s table and accidentally b.u.mped into her table. She jolted and returned to her senses.
The young man, who had b.u.mped into her table, hurriedly said, “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”
Yin Jia nodded reservedly before she reached out to stir her coffee. Seeing it was no longer warm, she did not drink it.
The Mu Group’s building was like a huge mountain pressing down on her heart.
28 years of nurture, love, and care were definitely not something that a few words and tears from an elder sister, whom Cheng Che had never met before, could compare.
The Old Madam of the Mu family had already made it clear that she would listen to and support Cheng Che’s decision no matter what. What was the difference between saying these words or not saying them? In the end, Old Madam Mu pushed everything back to Cheng Che. She was certain Cheng Che valued relations.h.i.+ps and would never sever ties with the Mu family. She thought that Old Madam Mu was truly too shrewd.
Yin Jia gritted her teeth. She was determined to sever Cheng Che’s ties with the Mu family. She was Cheng Che’s only family member so she had to s.n.a.t.c.h him back.
At this time, a waiter brought a cup of coffee to her.
Yin Jia was confused. “I didn’t order anything.”
The waiter bowed and said, “That gentleman over there ordered it for you. He said it’s a token of his apology.”
Yin Jia looked in the direction that the waiter pointed and discovered it was the young man who had b.u.mped into her table earlier. He was sitting at the table next to hers. When he saw her looking at him, he quickly waved his hand and smiled before he returned to his work.
Yin Jia only nodded expressionlessly in response. She did not drink the cup of coffee; she was too immersed in her thoughts and emotions.
After sitting for a while, she rose to her feet to leave. When she glanced at the next table, she realized the young man had left at some point.
She walked out absent-mindedly. She was thinking about how she could meet Mu Chen. She had to put a lot of effort into Mu Chen. There was also the famous Young Madam of the Mu family, Doctor Song Ning.
She sent a message to the driver, asking him to pick her up before she leisurely walked to the side of the road. Suddenly, she saw the people around her running in a panic. She turned around, puzzled, before she saw a private car drive crazily onto the sidewalk, heading toward her.
Yin Jia was so scared that she froze, forgetting to dodge. Suddenly, a strong force pushed her to the side. She was caught off guard and fell. However, someone hugged her tightly, protecting her. She could feel the pain when she heard the thud when the person’s back hit the ground.
Following that, the screeching sounds of brakes rang in the air.
Before Yin Jia could react, the car was reversing swiftly before it came at her again. The strong arm hugged her and quickly pulled her to the side.
At this time, the police finally rushed over and quickly controlled the situation.
Yin Jia was so scared that her body was stiff.
The person behind her asked worriedly, “Miss? Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Yin Jia turned her head slightly. The person hugging her was the person who had bought her a cup of coffee earlier. At this moment, his forehead and arm were bleeding.
“You, you’re bleeding! Are you alright?!” Yin Jia exclaimed in shock.
When the person saw Yin Jia was finally talking, he smiled, looking relieved, and said, “I’m fine.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly fainted.
Yin Jia screamed in fear. She frantically called 120. When the ambulance arrived, she could no longer care about anything else and entered the ambulance as well. The person was injured because he saved her; she could not just leave him alone.
