Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Can Only Play Dumb with Him
 

After dinner, I received a call from Jia Yuyan.

“Song Sister, I met Ms. Wen this morning!”

“Tell me the details, what happened?”

I sat in my chair, reaching out to touch the bandage over my eyes.

Tracing around my eye sockets, I gently touched them to feel any changes in my eyes.

Actually, I wasn’t completely blind, I could still see some light and shadows through the edges.

I put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table, Jia Yuyan’s voice was actually quite gentle as she calmly described the situation.

“Ah, I postponed all my meetings this morning just to wait by Mr. Ding’s office. When I saw Ms. Wen arriving, I didn’t dare to leave. Ms. Wen has such a quick temper, she burst through the door and gave Mr. Ding an earful!”

“Then what?”

“Mr. Ding didn’t pay attention to her, but later, Mr. Su rushed over to stop her and took her away. However, she still wasn’t satisfied and came back with a knife to scare Mr. Ding, which alarmed the security guards. Mr. Ding even called the police, and if it wasn’t for Mr. Su’s sake, Ms. Wen might have been taken away by the police. I tried to persuade her too, oh, but it was completely futile.”

Jia Yuyan’s account didn’t surprise me too much.

Wenya was always like this.

She’s too impulsive!

Well, it’s a good thing Su Peisheng is with her, so she won’t cause even bigger trouble.

After hanging up, Jian Jing, who had just walked in, also looked perplexed.

“By the way, about your eye issue, shouldn’t you tell Lin Nansheng?”

“Don’t tell him, don’t tell anyone.”

Lin Nansheng has his own family. I don’t want him to be preoccupied with me.

Besides, the company is now on the right track, and any disturbance could have negative repercussions. I don’t want any more trouble.

“Ayun, I have an idea, I don’t know if you’re willing to hear it?”

At this point, I was already beginning to tidy up my files, planning to leave.

“Go ahead!”

“Actually, you used to get along well with the Ding Family, like Mother Ding and Brother Ding… What I mean is, I could take you to the Ding Family later, we could say some nice things and ask the Ding Family to persuade Ding Yinuo. Maybe there’s a chance.”

I hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end, I shook my head,

“No need!”

“Ayun, if you feel embarrassed to go there, let me do it.”

I bent down to put the files in my backpack,

“It’s not about pride, eyes are definitely more important than pride. The reason I don’t want you to go is that I understand Ding Yinuo very well. Once he’s made up his mind, no one can persuade him. Our going would be in vain, and it would also put Mother Ding in a difficult position.”

Jian Jing sighed again.

Sighing, I slung my backpack over my shoulders,

“Alright, I’m leaving work now!”

“Wait a moment, I’ll drive you home.”

“No need! I’ll go home by myself!”

“Ah? You’re blind, how are you going to get home?”

“It’s just a few blocks away, and I’ve prepared a cane for the blind! I also have my phone, don’t worry! Actually, my eyes aren’t that bad, I can see some outlines if I peel the corner of the bandage.”

I put on my sunglasses and took my cane to set off.

Jian Jing followed me for a few dozen meters to ensure I could walk properly before she let me leave alone.

In fact, it was just past four in the afternoon, early for the end of the workday.

But my intention was not to go home. Instead, I was looking for the person hiding behind me.

After leaving the company, I turned left and walked along the road.

There was a park with green plants nearby, and there weren’t many people around at this time. I could use my cane to distinguish the tactile pavement for the blind and slowly make my way forward.

There were many voices around me, but I wasn’t sure whether the hidden person was following behind me.

“Beautiful lady, would you like some pineapple?”

The uncle at the roadside stall called out enthusiastically.

Actually, I can’t really eat pineapple, but to draw that person out, I had to take the risk.

“Sure, give me a piece! Uncle, can I pay with cash? I’m blind.”

“Of course, no problem!”

The uncle was indeed very eager and personally handed the pineapple to me after cutting it.

After paying, I walked while putting pieces of pineapple into my mouth.

I hadn’t eaten pineapple in many years, and the sour and sweet taste was quite refreshing.

Actually, I really like pineapple, but my allergy had prevented me from eating it for so many years.

At that moment, as I was eating my pineapple, I started to feel my face heat up and a slight itchiness all over my body.

I didn’t walk any further and sat down on a chair, feeling uncomfortable.

After so many years, this uncomfortable feeling was still as persistent as ever.

The allergic reaction could strike at any moment, and my throat quickly swelled and reddened, the feeling of suffocation making me convulse and collapse on the chair, unable to get up.

Suddenly, many people gathered around me, and some began to show concern,

“Miss, what’s wrong with you?”

But by then, I was already unable to speak.

“Hey, she’s blind, isn’t she? That’s so sad, alone outside with no friends.”

“Someone call for help! Does anyone have a mobile? Dial 120 or something!”

The crowd was noisy, yet not a single person reached out to help, as nobody wanted to get involved at that time.

But then, suddenly, a pair of strong arms held me.

He helped me sit up and then put a pill into my mouth, followed by feeding me some mineral water.

It was a kind of allergy-relief pill, one that could rescue me from my predicament.

And the only person who knew about this condition was Gu Yuanzhou.

It was indeed him.

After my symptoms had eased, he was about to silently slip away, but I caught hold of his sleeve.

“Kindhearted person, my home is far from here! Could you please take me home?”

I knew if I confronted him, he would definitely disappear again, hiding within the crowd, making it impossible for me to find him.

So, I had to play dumb with him.

He didn’t refuse and readily agreed.

“Ok!”

The crowd quickly dispersed.

My symptoms gradually stabilized, and I fumbled to find my cane next to the bench, shouldered my backpack, and stood up.

The other hand, however, was holding tightly onto his sleeve.

He stood beside me, silent, not speaking a word if it wasn’t necessary.

“Just two traffic lights ahead, then turn left…”

“Ok!”

It wasn’t really far, just a few minutes’ walk to the community.

He walked me all the way to the front gate of my house before stopping.

“Here we are, I have to go now!”

As he turned to leave, I held onto him again, “Wait, don’t go yet, I need to ask you for another favor.”
