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 sheâd 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, whatâs wrong?" Ying Xiaoya asked with concern.
"Itâs nothing, just didnât sleep well last night." Cheng Su smiled and shook her head, then asked, "Has Ning Ge come back yet?"
"Not yet..."
"Whoâs 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, youâve 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.
"Whatâs the matter? You look awful!" Ning Ge asked, frowning.
Cheng Su sighed and said, "I had a nightmare last night." She didnât want to think about the scenes from that dream, and simply said, "Letâs not talk about that, I hit Chiang Qing yesterday afternoon."
"Oh, what?" Ning Geâs 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 couldnât keep calm. It was her fault for not listening, so I slapped her."
"And her, she didnât do anything to you, did she?"
"Listen to me, I think sheâs a bit strange." Cheng Su clicked her tongue, as though afraid sheâd be disturbed, and quickly recounted Chiang Qingâs reaction.
The more Ning Ge listened, the grimmer his face became.
"Tell me, no matter what, wouldnât 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 Qingâs 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!
"Thatâs what Iâm saying, why did you have to provoke her? Iâve told you, sheâs just a lunatic." Ning Ge said with a dark face, "She kicked and hit you, didnât 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 Qingâs mental health.
"Iâm not a doctor, and I canât even x-ray a brain, how would I know!" Ning Ge rolled his eyes.
Cheng Suâs shoulders slumped despondently: "Right!"
Then Ning Ge said, "Donât think too much about it. Just avoid her, donât provoke her again. If sheâs really crazy, then... Qi Taiguo should be back soon, shouldnât he?"
Cheng Su bit her lip and counted on her fingers, saying, "I donât know, itâs 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 shouldnât 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 Qingâs personal records, specifically her medical history, and the Chiang familyâs medical history.
Cheng Suâs worry was somewhat justified; Chiang Qingâs response was abnormally intense!
