Wang Yazhi was shopping with a friend earlier, and when they were done, she waited for the driver to pull the car up at the entrance of the mall. Out of a sudden, a piece of steel dropped from the sky and was aimed at Wang Yazhi.
It happened so fast that the guard who was there to protect Wang Yazhi had no time to react. Fortunately, nothing happened. In the critical moment, Wang Yazhi was rescued by someone. Although there was nothing life threatening, she still sprained her ankle.
Knowing that Wang Yazhi was injured, Ling Tianya rushed to her room.
Inside the room, Wang Yazhi laid in bed looking slightly pale. She had bandages on her ankle, but she looked alright and was in a decent mood.
“Mom, how are you?” Ling Tianya rushed over, kneeling next to the bed of Wang Yazhi.
“Nothing, I’m fine.” Wang Yazhi smiled and reached out and pinched Ling Tianya’s nose. “Look at you. There’s nothing wrong with me, just a sprained ankle and a little bit pain.”
When Wang Yazhi said that there was some pain, she made a face which looked rather adorable. She didn’t look like woman who was over half a century old.
When she heard from Wang Yazhi and then saw the state she was in, Ling Tianya let go of her worries. “How could there be a steel plate falling from the sky? This shopping mall obviously has a safety problem. We can’t just let this go.”
Ling Tianya had a feeling that something was not right. It was safe to say that the mall a person with Wang Yazhi’s status would go to must be a high-end luxury shopping mall. Both service and security should be first-class, and such low-level problems should not exist.
“Oh, forget it!” Wang Yazhi smiled and waved her hand. “The mall has already come forward to apologize to me. It was not intentional. No one wanted this to happen. Anyways, I am fine, just a sprained ankle. Just let it go.”
After Wang Yazhi said that, Ling Tianya could only give up. She remembered her father-in-law Ruan Qishan once said his wife was not a person who could weather the storm. Madame Ruan also often called Wang Yazhi simple-minded and not very smart.
But even then, the whole family were still caring for Wang Yazhi. If she couldn’t weather the storm, then they wouldn’t let her know how insidious and terrifying the outside world could be. If she was simple-minded, then they wouldn’t tell her too complicated things.
Therefore, Wang Yazhi got to maintain the kindness and innocence rare to find in the influential families. This was also the most precious thing about her.
At this time, there was a knock on the door before the door of the bedroom was opened from the outside.
“Madame, this is beef marrow soup, fresh out of the pot. It will help with your sprain. You should drink it while it’s hot.”
Ling Tianya’s back was facing the door, but she heard a familiar voice. When she turned her head back, she saw Mandy holding a bowl and walking in with a smile.
Seeing Mandy, Wang Yazhi explained to Ling Tianya, “Mandy saved me today. If it wasn’t for her, it might be much worse than a sprained ankle. Things happened really fast at the time and no one noticed the steel plate that fell from above our heads. Fortunately, Mandy pushed me out of the way in time!”
Wang Yazhi then turned to Mandy and apologized, “In order to save me, your face got hurt. I am so sorry.”
Ling Tianya looked over and the right side of Mandy’s face had obvious bruises.
Mandy brushed it off with a smile. “This little bruise is nothing. The most important thing is that you are fine.”
Wang Yazhi smiled and took the soup bowl. “When we were in the teahouse last time, we were talking about you being the sister of Manpeng. Our family owed your brother and we are obligated to take care of you. Now, you have become my savior.”
