Accidental meeting (2)

Chapter 72

(Unedited)

…

A petite woman is standing beside the man is about to get hit by the bodyguard of Song Jia. However, instead of getting hit, she expertly guided the hand of the bodyguard with her adept hands and then… and then it was all over in an instant. No one knew what happened next as all they saw is a burly man being thrown to the ground by a petite woman.

Ma Liling is standing proudly with a straight back while looking at the dumbfounded people around her. Meanwhile, manager Lan showed a faint smile on her face. She knew of Ma Liling's skills and that who looks down on her has always suffered some setbacks.

In the entertainment industry who would dare take advantage of her? No one dares to take advantage of her for fear of her true martial arts prowess on and off-screen.

Before everyone could say anything else, Ma Liling has already started walking.

The bodyguard of Song Jia suddenly became fierce as he could not accept the humiliation he just experienced. How could a big man like himself and an expert in martial arts fall just like that in the hands of a weak-looking woman? How could he accept such an absurd thing?

He suddenly rolled to the ground and kick the stunned man in front of him while he in the ground. But this time, the person Yu Bai has commanded was prepared. He took a step back to dodge the kick.

But it was just a feint; the bodyguard suddenly rolled to the ground and quickly approached the receding back of Ma Liling.

"Watch out!" shouted the man as he noticed the bodyguard's action.

Ma Liling suddenly turns around and saw the rolling man on the ground. She was a bit taken aback as she has used enough force at that time to knock out anyone with that shoulder throw. But it seems that she has underestimated this bodyguard.

The man sweeps the feet of Ma Liling, but she is a bit swift in her reflexes and quickly jumps to dodge the attack. Since she is wearing 2-inches thick-heeled leather shoes, it was not that hard for her to move.

She landed beside Manager Lan who is now showing fear in her eyes. But Ma Liling grabs her to stand behind her.

The man did not stop and quickly sent a punch in her direction.

The man is using boxing fast punches which would be fatal to a woman like Ma Liling since she is also defending Manager Lan behind her. If she dodges, then Manager Lan would be hit.

In this dire situation, someone suddenly appears behind the aggressive man while Ma Liling is defending his punches with her arms rhythmically.

Thud!

The bodyguard was suddenly knocked unconscious with one strike.

The appearance of that figure made Ma Liling suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"You… Why are you here?" she suddenly blurted out.

A hint of annoyance in on her beautiful face.

Yu Bai, on the other hand, just showed a faint smile on his handsome face under the silver frame spectacles.

"Why should I not be here? This is a public restaurant…" he said with a smirk.

He did not like this woman, but when he saw her defending her manager, he could tell that she has a good heart. But upon remembering that night when the two of them had such an encounter while in their apartment his heart feels hurt for he thought that he has betrayed his wife, Ma Mian.

While the two are talking, the figure of Song Jia is already seething in anger. He did not expect that the woman he likes is this fierce. She is even able to fight against his bodyguard. So how could he take her down? How could he get her?

At this time, he did not want to stay in this place anymore. So while the people are busy, he immediately slips away.

"Thank you, mister…" Manager Lan suddenly said with a smile as she did not quickly recognize the person who helped them.

But she suddenly frowns as she seems to be familiar with his face.

Yu Bai just nodded his head and stopped talking to Ma Liling. Since the culprit has already escaped, they did not try to find him and just remember this grudge especially Ma Liling.

"Do you want me to send you to your company?" Yu Bai suddenly offered as he did not want the two of them to encounter such trouble once they are out.

Though he dislikes the woman, she is still his wife's friend so he would offer his help.

When Ma Liling heard his words she wanted to reject them as she does not like this domineering figure in front of her.

She could not deny that he saved her, but still in her heart people like him who are executives and rich are not trustworthy.

However, how could Manager Lan not grab this chance? She has already recognized that this figure is someone from Jiaolong Corporation. The reason for this is that she has actually seen this man before when Ma Liling was auditioning in their company. If she could strike a deal with him, then Ma Liling's carrier would also surely soar higher.

"Yes, please… I'm still scared… Liling, can we?" she said with a begging tone.

Ma Liling has a look of helplessness in her eyes. Since it was to appease her friend, she just nodded her head.

Yu Bai showed a faint smile and then talks to the executives that he is going to leave first. One of them even extended his hand and shakes hands with Ma Liling.

"Miss Ma, you are truly a brave woman. Maybe someday my department can work with you…" the executive said with a smile.

"You flatter me, thank you. I'm also hoping to work with you…" Ma Liling said politely.

…

The three of them went downstairs and directly take the car of Yu Bai which is already waiting in front of the restaurant. Manager Lan sits next to the driver while Ma Liling and Yu Bai are in the back seat.

While traveling, Yu Bai suddenly took a glance at Ma Liling's beautiful face.

"Do you know Ma Mian?" He asked just out of the blue which surprised Ma Liling and Manager Lan.
