Chapter 654: Chapter 643: The Out-of-Control Cleaning Vehicle!
Let’s not talk about whether she’s married or not, the fourth brother has already graduated from school,
stepping into society, and is currently the heir being cultivated by the Xu’s, with every word and action
representing the Xu’s, so he can’t act like he did before anymore.
If it was merely joking around with them in private, it would still be okay, but now with so many staff coming and
going in the research institute, she worried that the fourth brother might do something like confessing his love or
sending flowers to her anytime, anywhere, which would not look good if seen by others.
Xu Mogian looked at Qiao Jing with shesitation, opened his mouth, then closed it, unsure whether he should
ask.
How was he supposed to say the words, "Do you like Zhan Qipei"?
While he was thinking this, he suddenly saw an out-of-control cleaning trolley speeding towards Qiao Jing from
behind!
Due to the smooth floor, the trolley’s four wheels were able to move forward with inertia, and the spot where
Qiao Jing stood was just on a slight downward slope, making the trolley accelerate!
The cleaner was chasing after the trolley, but how could her two legs possibly catch up with the four wheels?
All she could do was chase while shouting.
"Be careful! Make way!"
Xu Mogian’s eyes widened, with no tto care about whether or not to speak about likes or dislikes, he was
about to alert Qiao Jing when he saw that she had already made a move.
Upon hearing the cleaner’s voice behind her, Qiao Jing quickly turned her head to check the situation.
But by the tshe turned around, the cleaning trolley was nearly upon her.
Qiao Jing instinctively stepped back to dodge the trolley.
That move indeed helped her avoid the trolley, but she did not notice that there were several steps behind her!
Xu Mogian reached out, wanting to pull Qiao Jing back, but the event happened so suddenly, his reactions were
not fast enough.
By the the reached out, Qiao Jing had already missed her footing, and the trolley whizzed past the spot
where she had just been standing, before finally crashing into a wall and coming to a stop.
After losing her footing, Qiao Jing quickly grabbed onto the nearby wall to stabilize herself, but she still managed
to twist her ankle in the process.
After regaining her balance, she let out a sigh of relief.

If she had fallen, the consequences could have been more than just a twisted ankle, it could have also
endangered the child in her womb.
Xu Mogian immediately took a few steps forward, supporting Qiao Jing and asking with concern,
"Sister Jing, how are you? Wait for me, I'll call an ambulance, I'll take you to the hospital! It's all my fault, |
shouldn't have asked you so many unnecessary questions."
Qiao Jing saw Xu Mogian with a look of self-reproach as if he was about to cry, felt somewhat helpless, and forced
a smile as she stopped him from calling an ambulance.
"No need for an ambulance, | can take care of it at home."
At that moment, the cleaner finally caught up, and upon realizing that the person injured by the out-of-control
trolley was Qiao Jing, her worry and fear were even greater.
"Professor Qiao! Are you alright? I'm so sorry, | accidentally knocked it while mopping with my back turned to the
trolley, which caused it to roll away. By the t| realized, it had already gone a distance, and | couldn’t catch up
immediately. Maybe... maybe you should fire me? | can’t face staying in the institute now."
Her mishap had caused Professor Qiao to twist her ankle, how could she stay in the institute after that?
Qiao Jing looked at the cleaning lady,
"Auntie Liu, don’t worry too much, | will take care of my ankle myself, | don’t blyou, nor will | fire you."
Auntie Liu was already over fifty years old, not as mobile, and it was normal for her not to keep up with the fast-
moving trolley.
She had met Auntie Liu picking bottles on the street and had learned that the older woman was trying to earn
living expenses and also had to take care of her grandson left behind while her son and daughter ignored her,
which was why Auntie Liu was picking bottles at her age.
Thinking that the institute urgently needed a cleaner, she had invited Auntie Liu to cover, how could she fire
her just for twisting an ankle?
And it's not even a big deal, it’s just a twisted ankle, she can just go hand treat it with acupuncture, firing
the cleaning staff would be too severe.
The cleaner still wasn’t at ease and took several more looks at Qiao Jing’s rapidly swelling ankle.
"Professor Qiao... What should | do now? | am really so sorry!"
Qiao Jing had no choice but to repeatedly assure that she was fine, which finally allowed Auntie Liu to reluctantly
calm down and leave with the cleaning cart.
At this point, Xu Mogian was no longer in the mood to ask Qiao Jing those questions, watching her swollen ankle,
he was overwhelmed with self-reproach.
"Sister Jing, I'm so sorry..."
Qiao Jing glanced at Xu Mogian, no longer mentioning the twisted ankle.
"Please helpout, I'll take a taxi home."
She needed to get her ankle treated quickly so it wouldn't affect her work.
Xu Mogian immediately took it upon himself to take Qiao Jing home.
"Sister Jing, lettake you home, don’t bother with a taxi, it’s too troublesome."
Qiao Jing pursed her lips and, leaning on Xu Mogian’s strength, slowly made her way forward.
"That's fine."
Xu Mogian thus supported Qiao Jing as they walked outside, arriving at the entrance of the research institute.
He glanced at his car parked not far away, then looked at Qiao Jing, his hand still not letting go of hers.
"Sister Jing, I'll go get my car."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a black Maybach pulled up in front of them.
Upon seeing the car, Qiao Jing knew who was inside it.
It was Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei, with a gloomy expression, stepped out of the car and strode over to them.
His eyes, cold as ice, fell upon the hand Xu Mogian used to support Qiao Jing, his thin lips tightened into a cold
line, slowly parted.
"Let go."
Xu Mogian was taken aback by Zhan Qipei emerging from the car, and before he could react, Zhan Qipei had
pushed him away.
