Cheng Su had a nightmare all night long, and when she woke up the next day, her entire body was drenched in sweat as if she had been washed with water.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, still looking as though she were in a dream state, her face the very picture of unsettlement.
It was too terrifying, she had actually dreamt about Chiang Qing, dreamt about that lunatic who said she’d rather be "a piece of shattered jade" and then...
Cheng Su shuddered and dared not continue thinking about it, got up to wash her face, and went to the company in a daze.
"Susu, you look terrible, what’s wrong?" Ying Xiaoya asked with concern.
"It’s nothing, just didn’t sleep well last night." Cheng Su smiled and shook her head, then asked, "Has Ning Ge come back yet?"
"Not yet..."
"Who’s looking for me?" Ning Ge entered from the doorway.
Cheng Su turned around, and Ning Ge let out a loud yelp, "What happened to your face, you’ve seen a ghost in broad daylight?"
"Tch! You never say anything nice." Cheng Su glared at him and added, "I need to talk to you about something."
The two of them went outside.
"What’s the matter? You look awful!" Ning Ge asked, frowning.
Cheng Su sighed and said, "I had a nightmare last night." She didn’t want to think about the scenes from that dream, and simply said, "Let’s not talk about that, I hit Chiang Qing yesterday afternoon."
"Oh, what?" Ning Ge’s eyes widened: "What did you say? You hit her, you struck her?"
Cheng Su looked somewhat sheepish and said, "I was feeling a bit upset, I couldn’t keep calm. It was her fault for not listening, so I slapped her."
"And her, she didn’t do anything to you, did she?"
"Listen to me, I think she’s a bit strange." Cheng Su clicked her tongue, as though afraid she’d be disturbed, and quickly recounted Chiang Qing’s reaction.
The more Ning Ge listened, the grimmer his face became.
"Tell me, no matter what, wouldn’t it be crazy for her to act like this? But yesterday, she really seemed like a madwoman who had lost her reason, as if she had become a completely different person." Cheng Su hesitated then said, "Do you think she might have some kind of problem?"
"What kind of problem?"
Cheng Su pointed to her head and said, "Here, do you think she might have that mental issue?"
Thinking back to Chiang Qing’s crazed behavior from the previous day, Cheng Su felt somewhat scared. Remembering the nightmare from last night made her shiver uncontrollably.
Chiang Qing usually seemed so aloof and normal, but if there really was some issue, that would be terrifying!
"That’s what I’m saying, why did you have to provoke her? I’ve told you, she’s just a lunatic." Ning Ge said with a dark face, "She kicked and hit you, didn’t hurt you, did she?"
"No, just a bit of a stomachache, probably from falling down, nothing serious. But her, you say, could she have some problem?" Cheng Su was anxious about Chiang Qing’s mental health.
"I’m not a doctor, and I can’t even x-ray a brain, how would I know!" Ning Ge rolled his eyes.
Cheng Su’s shoulders slumped despondently: "Right!"
Then Ning Ge said, "Don’t think too much about it. Just avoid her, don’t provoke her again. If she’s really crazy, then... Qi Taiguo should be back soon, shouldn’t he?"
Cheng Su bit her lip and counted on her fingers, saying, "I don’t know, it’s been twenty days already, no phone call has come through. He should be back soon."
Ning Ge nodded and gave a few more words of advice, saying, "With people at the company right now, you shouldn’t stay here. Looking at your pale face, white as a ghost, you should go back and rest!"
Cheng Su also felt very tired and nodded in agreement.
After she left, Ning Ge made a phone call to Bai Ying, asking her to look into Chiang Qing’s personal records, specifically her medical history, and the Chiang family’s medical history.
Cheng Su’s worry was somewhat justified; Chiang Qing’s response was abnormally intense!
