“Sorry, Brother Lui. I didn’t do it intentionally.” Hurriedly, she apologized. “I was in too much of a rush. I waited outside the Chu mansion for half a day, but no one came to answer the door. I was just in a rush.”
“I have already arranged for them to go to a quiet place. They won’t be coming back for the time being.”
Chu Lui interrupted Xia Yixuan, and it was like a smack to the back of her head—smacking her until Xia Yixuan’s face changed.
“You’ve sent them away?” Xia Yixuan was suddenly nervous and had a very bad feeling. “Then, Brother Lui, where are they? I want to go look after Auntie. You also know that I have been taking care of Auntie the whole time.”
“No, it’s okay,” Chu Lui rejected without hesitation. “They like to stay in quiet places, and there are nurses there. They don’t need you.”
That one phrase ‘don’t need you’ made Xia Yixuan’s eyes red, and she almost threw her phone away. She knew Chu Lui’s character very well. Once he had decided on something, it was very hard to change it.
She put her hands in her pocket and touched that bottle of medicine. In the end, she walked away in her high heels but turned back again as she had forgotten that her car was still around. She kicked her favorite sports car with all her might, and her intricate face became contorted.
For the next few days, she spent each of them excruciatingly and not one of peace. She had asked a lot of people to find out where the Chu family went, but she could not find out anything. Even that child with a different last name—Chu Xiang—was taken away.
“What should I do?” She scratched her arm with her nail. If that stupid old woman woke up, would she be allowed to live? No, she would not. She definitely would not.
She breathed in heavily and told herself that everything would be okay as she had already given her so much medicine. The physician that gave the pills had also said that it would not be easy for the person to wake up if one had given more than twenty pills. Besides, Song Wan was originally a vegetable.
So, it would be okay. Mm, nothing would happen.
However, even though she was comforting herself in that way—once she thought that something in this world was not within her calculations, she started becoming uneasy and anxious; unless that old woman was really dead…
She drove her car in a daze and did not know a child had run across in front of her. Bang! The child collapsed on the floor, and her car had hit against the railing.
A chill was sent down her spine, and she became alert.
…
After half a day, Xia Mingzheng finally found Chu Lui.
“Uncle Chu, why are you here?” Chu Lui walked over, and there was a flash in his dark eyes as he really did not know why his new father-in-law came.
At this point, Xia Mingzheng had already run out of ideas. Once he saw Chu Lui, he rushed forward.
“Ah Lui, Yixuan caused trouble…”
“Mm, then I’m sorry for the trouble. We’ll cooperate with the compensation afterward. As for the child, we’ll send someone over. It’s important to first save the person. We’ll pay for the full medical bill.”
Chu Lui hung up, and his knitted brows tightened even more. Then, he comforted Xia Mingzheng who was in a daze.
“Uncle Xia, don’t worry. Yixuan has been released, but you have to go see that kid tomorrow personally. The kid’s condition is still unknown, but Yixuan had committed hit and run. No matter what had happened, she should have sent the person to the hospital first.” Hitting and running was different from an accident, and it was not the same crime. He had seen stupid ones, but not ones as stupid as Xia Yixuan.
She still ran away… that was the city. With everyone watching and the electronic police, how could she escape? That was why she was captured. It was not because she hit someone… but because she ran away.
Xia Mingzheng was stumped by Chu Lui, and his face started to burn.
He knew his own daughter. She was very gutsy normally, but she was also selfish and would not be willing to bear any responsibility. When she was young and did something wrong, Xia Ruoxin would be her scapegoat; and Shen Yijun would protect her.
Now, Xia Ruoxin had left the Xia household a long time ago, and Shen Yijun was disappointed in them and would only knit and watch television all day without caring about these things.
He could not settle this issue so he could only find Chu Lui.
As expected, he found the right person; but he was afraid that he would still be humiliated. He could even imagine what the headlines would be the next day.
Missy of the Xia Household—Xia Yixuan—Running Away After Hitting Someone
Of course, Chu Lui knew about this; and he called a few newspaper agencies to first suppress the news and not let any reports of the accident be leaked. He did not do it for the Xia household but for the Chu family.
The Hang Yu project was already coming to an end so he did not want any unnecessary complications.
…
In the hospital, Gao Yi rubbed his temple; and his entire person was exhausted.
“Hello, Doctor Gao.” A few nurses greeted him, and Gao Yi nodded back politely. He took the elevator and went up to the top floor. This was the best ward in the entire hospital, and Xia Ruoxin was inside.
Originally, she was supposed to go home, but the Lu family felt that it would be better if she stayed. After all, this was the hospital; and its facilities were better. They would be more assured if she was discharged a few days later. In the morning, Jian Qingying was around; at night, there was Gao Yi and Jia Xinbao. There was nothing to worry about.
“Why? Are you tired?”
Xia Ruoxin picked up the book on her lap. She had read more than half of the book, and she was seen holding it all the time, which had become her favorite pastime.
“Mm, kind of. I did a few long surgeries and only had time now.” Gao Yi walked over, and the gray below his eyes extended even more. His eyes were empty, and he lived as if he had not slept in a few days.
He walked over and sat down. Xia Ruoxin placed the soup that Qin Xuejuan made in front of him. “Auntie Qin brought this here. I saved you half of it. You should drink it first.”
“Thank you.” Gao Yi picked it up and started drinking it without being polite. Qin Xuejuan made a lot of soup every day, and Xia Ruoxin could only drink half of it at the most. In the end, all of the soup would enter Jia Xinbao’s stomach. Recently, Jia Xinbao was busy so all of these leftovers were left to Gao Yi alone. If not, he might collapse.
After drinking the soup, Gao Yi looked at the young woman in front of him. It seemed that she did not change, but her face completely did.
