“Mengmeng?”

Lin Che watched in surprise as Jiang Meng followed Jiang Boyan out of the cafe without a care in the world.

At this moment, Jiang Meng only had one thought in her mind. She wanted to capture this vixen and throw her back into the forbidden area.

Jiang Boyan walked straight to the escalator and calculated the distance between her and the exasperated woman behind her. A look of triumph flashed across her eyes before she sped forward.

Seeing her suddenly increase her speed, Jiang Meng became even more anxious. She desperately wanted to reach out and grab her hair. “Jiang Boyan, stop right there!”

“Okay, I’ll stop.”

Jiang Boyan chuckled and backed up, not stepping onto the escalator. She stood right in front of the escalator and even kindly tilted her body.

How could Jiang Meng have known that Jiang Boyan was already prepared and that she would stop at such a critical moment? She still maintained the speed she had when she was chasing after Jiang Boyan. For a moment, she could not stop, and she lost her balance as she pounced forward. However, in front of her was an escalator and nothing else.

Jiang Boyan stood where she was and even had an imperceptible smile playing on her lips. She watched as Jiang Meng lost her balance and rolled down the escalator at quite a high speed.

“Help! Ahhh!”

Jiang Boyan tilted her head when she heard Jiang Meng’s miserable scream.

‘Wow.’

This was really a difficult position to be in.

Jiang Boyan could not help but give Jiang Meng ten points for this.

Many passers-by in the bustling shopping mall heard this miserable scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. They could not help but follow the sound to watch the events unfold.

“Mengmeng!”

By the time Lin Che ran over, it was already too late. He could not even grab the corner of Jiang Meng’s skirt.

Jiang Boyan’s face was full of innocence. “Let me tell you. There are surveillance cameras in the shopping mall. I didn’t even touch your fiancée just now. I won’t be paying for this, even if you want me to.”

Thud!

The screams finally stopped. Jiang Meng had already rolled down to the fifth floor. She completely lost her bared fangs and her brandished claws. She collapsed on the ground like a dead dog. Her dress barely covered her legs. However, because she had been splashed with coffee twice, she was so dirty that no one could even look at her. She looked inferior to the homeless beggar outside the mall.

More and more people gathered around her. Some of them even recognized Jiang Meng and were secretly taking photos.

Lin Che looked at Jiang Meng’s miserable state. When he heard Jiang Boyan’s explanation, he couldn’t help but explain, “She was just too anxious. She didn’t mean that. Let’s call an ambulance first.”

“You take care of your fiancée yourself. Since you saw that I didn’t push her, then I’m not responsible. I still have things to do. I won’t be staying.”

Jiang Boyan’s face was full of indifference.

Jiang Meng’s death had nothing to do with her. Seeing how Jiang Meng was going all out to keep her here, Jiang Zhenghua should already be on his way to catch her. If she really stayed, she would probably be the one who would die.

After saying this, Jiang Boyan turned around and was about to leave. Lin Che looked at Jiang Meng, who looked half-dead. He wanted to take care of her but he was afraid that he would never see Jiang Boyan again.

He could not help but shout, “Miss Xiao, can you add me on WeChat? That old friend of mine really looks like you. I think there might be some kind of connection between the two of you. Also, I still have some things I want to ask you.”

Jiang Boyan did not even look at Lin Che, “Sorry, my phone is out of battery.”

“We’re celebrating my fiancée’s birthday next Friday at 7pm. The birthday party will be held at the Jinjiang Hotel. Please come. I’ll personally pick you up at the door.”

Lin Che raised his voice.

Jiang Boyan did not answer. She kept walking without turning her head. She waved her hand with her back facing Lin Che as a farewell.

“Please come, Miss Xiao!”

After Lin Che said this, he ran down the escalator and squeezed into the crowd. Jiang Meng had collapsed on the floor but did not forget to cover her face with her arm.

A young hooligan-like boy pulled Jiang Meng’s arm and repeatedly asked with a worried expression, “Jiang Meng, are you okay? I’ll call an ambulance for you. I’m your classmate, Ye Rong.”

Jiang Meng’s entire body hurt and she could not stand up at all. She could only use her last bit of strength to cover her face while she was still somewhat conscious.

This time, her beautiful image that she had carefully designed before was completely ruined.

Seeing Jiang Meng’s condition, Lin Che hurriedly walked up and picked Jiang Meng up from the ground, “Sorry, please make way…”

When Jiang Meng realized that it was Lin Che, she hurriedly buried her face in his arms.

Ye Rong followed her worriedly. He looked at Lin Che’s back as he embraced Jiang Meng. His eyes were filled with jealousy. “Jiang Meng, Jiang Meng, are you okay?”

What rubbish! Why was he following them? Did he have nothing to do?

Ye Rong followed the two of them all the way to the doors of the shopping mall. It was already completely dark outside. Ye Rong still followed behind them and wanted to chat with the goddess that he had always liked. He rambled on, “I saw that Xiao Shutiao was also on the escalator. Are you guys friends?”

Ye Rong came to Tianhonghui today to give Jiang Boyan a fake identity card. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that Jiang Meng had rolled down the escalator in order to drag Jiang Boyan down.

When she heard that strange name, Jiang Meng forgot about the pain in her body. She very reluctantly raised her head, and looked at Ye Rong. “How do you know her name?”

Her face was completely swollen and she looked terrible.

Ye Rong silently took two steps back, “Uh, I sort of know her.”

“How do you know her?”

Jiang Meng’s eyes were fixed on Ye Rong.

“Uh…” Ye Rong’s mind was about to explode. He could not possibly tell his goddess that he wanted to flirt with her only to be taught a lesson, right? This part from before had damaged his image as a wise and valiant man in his goddess’s eyes. He decided to keep it vague, “She had asked me to do something for her. Yes, that’s it.”

“She asked you to do something for her?”Jiang Meng paused for a moment, lost in thought. “I remember that you got a demerit at school for making a fake ID.”

“Jiang Meng, you actually remember that I got a demerit at school?”

Ye Rong was so happy that he almost jumped up, but when he reacted, he felt awkward again.

Because getting a demerit for applying for a fake ID was not a good thing.

Jiang Meng did not show it on the surface, but in fact, she had long remembered that this boy was Ye Rong, who had been pursuing her in school. He had failed time and time again. When he got a demerit, his friends around him treated this matter as a joke and told Jiang Meng about it. In school, she had never even given this hooligan a second glance.

“So, you got a fake ID for her?”

Jiang Meng suddenly thought it through.

No wonder! Xiao Shutiao was such a ridiculous name. She definitely made it up. She was Jiang Boyan.

‘Jiang Boyan, this b*tch, actually escaped the restricted area.’

Thinking back, when Jiang Boyan held up her ID, she saw a ring-shaped bulge under her sweater. It should be the handcuff from the restricted area. How could she easily remove the handcuffs that place had put on her?

“Uh…”

He did not expect that she would guess the answer so quickly. She was truly a goddess.

Lin Che carried Jiang Meng to his car.

The driver who had been waiting for Lin Che to come out hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Che and Jiang Meng. Lin Che carried Jiang Meng into the car. Ye Rong wanted to follow her in, but the driver pushed him away. “Who do you think you are? You want to get into the car of our Lin family’s second young master as well?”

“Uh…”

Ye Rong stood outside the car with an awkward look on his face.

He cursed silently. ‘What’s so great about being a chauffeur? He spoke so arrogantly like he was the richest man in the world!’

Lin Che glanced at him expressionlessly. The chauffeur closed the car door for him considerately and completely blocked their line of sight.

The chauffeur started the car. Jiang Meng leaned into Lin Che’s embrace and could not help but cry. She looked exceptionally pitiful.

Lin Che listened to Jiang Meng’s crying and his heart was uneasy. He gently smoothed her hair down. “Are you very uncomfortable?”

“My entire body is in pain…”

Jiang Meng cried until she was out of breath.

Lin Che’s heart ached as she hugged Jiang Meng tightly. However, he still frowned and asked why she had behaved like this today. “Why on Earth did you try so hard to catch Miss Xiao today?”

It was clearly that darn woman, Jiang Boyan, who had provoked her!

Jiang Mengmeng cursed loudly. In the end, she forced herself to hold back and sobbed as she said, “I keep feeling that she’s Jiang Boyan. I haven’t seen her for three years. I miss her very much and I’m also very worried about her. She’s my best friend!”

Lin Che frowned. Was Jiang Meng’s unusual behaviour today really because she missed Jiang Boyan?

“You should understand what Ye Rong said just now. That woman’s ID card is fake. She is Jiang Boyan.”

Jiang Meng knew that Lin Che was suspicious of her attitude, she pretended to be magnanimous. “I know that you miss her a lot more than I do. Go back to the mall and find her. I can go to the hospital myself.. You have to find out why she’s hiding her identity, or you may never see her again.”
