While Lin Jiadong was outside bonding with Yuan Bao, Lin Chuxia briefly explained the issues at Lin Jiadong’s school to Jia Liang.
Although she told Lin Jiadong to focus on his studies and not let the rumors affect his mindset, it didn’t mean allowing some people to bully others without consequence.
Did they really think spreading rumors was cost-free?
Jia Liang, a righteous person, sneered after hearing Lin Chuxia’s words, "Got it, Mr. Lin, leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it properly."
"Alright, then you help me send him back, and be safe on the way."
Jia Liang put away the invoice and hesitantly spoke before leaving, "Um, Mr. Lin, is there anything you want to pass on to the family? Well, I’m going back to An City anyway, so if you need anything, feel free to tell me."
Oh, his intentions were written all over his face.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t be bothered to expose him and just said, "You’ve reminded me, could you bring back some strawberries from my brother for me?"
"Sure, no problem."
Jia Liang got the message and happily went to call Lin Jiadong.
Lin Jiadong also said goodbye to Lin Chuxia, and the two drove off in Lin Chuxia’s jeep.
Even though Lin Chuxia was nurturing her pregnancy, she still made sure to stay active, walking around and watching the car leave the residential compound before turning back.
Just as she was about to reach her row of residences, she suddenly heard the sound of a bicycle and cries of surprise behind her.
The road in the alley wasn’t narrow; it could even accommodate a small car.
Lin Chuxia was walking by the side and didn’t expect the bicycle could crash into her.
When she turned her head, the bicycle was already upon her.
Instinctively she took a step aside, but the snow that fell a few days ago had melted in the middle of the road, and there was still some piled up on the sides.
Her foot landed just on the snow.
The thin layer of ice on the sun-melted snow was even more slippery than pure snow.
Her body instantly lost balance, and she fell backward.
In that moment, her mind couldn’t process how to minimize harm to the baby.
Just at that crucial moment, a figure rushed over, half-embracing her, and they both fell to the ground.
The figure who rushed over ended up cushioning her fall.
She even heard the person grunt, indicating it wasn’t a light fall.
Lin Chuxia felt the soft touch beneath her and realized that her weight of over a hundred pounds would have been uncomfortable for the other person, and instinctively tried to get up.
The other person stopped her, "Don’t rush, get up slowly. Did you get hurt just now? Did you strain your back?"
Ignoring their own situation, they showed concern for her first.
Lin Chuxia saw clearly that it was Sister-in-law Gong beneath her.
"Sister-in-law, I’m fine," Lin Chuxia didn’t hurry to get up, but turned and sat on the ground beside her, reaching out to help, "How are you? Where did you get hurt? Can you get up?"
Seeing Sister-in-law Gong’s frown, Lin Chuxia got really worried.
Sister-in-law Gong’s health wasn’t great to begin with, and now she had fallen while also cushioning Lin Chuxia.
Sister-in-law Gong clearly wasn’t well; she was half-lying on the ground and unable to get up, yet waved her hand to reassure Lin Chuxia, "It’s alright, I’ll be fine in a moment."
By this time, people from the adjacent houses had run out.
