1444 A Familiar Feeling of Despair
Two days later, Jian Changsheng returned from the capital. He had lost a lot of weight.
Because ever since he saw Jian Yu that day, he had never been to the hospital. He didn’t want them father-and-son to be at daggers drawn every time they met. He just needed to know that his son was not seriously injured.
The reason he didn’t go home immediately was that after this incident, he stayed in the hotel alone for a few days. He re-examined his relationship with Jian Yu and Jian Ai and how they should handle each other in the future.
Private spaces could often calm people down. Jian Changsheng seemed to have some thoughts of liberating himself. Instead of pestering each other like this, it was better to return to the beginning.
Just as Xiao Ai had said, without him, the two children had grown up healthy, and they were doing well now.
Seeing Jian Changsheng in such a dispirited state, Qiao Shuyi’s heart ached. Even though she knew that Jian Changsheng had lied to her on this trip to the capital, she still loved him as much as before.
It was also because of this that Jian Changsheng felt even more guilty toward Qiao Shuyi. Such a good wife had given birth to a son and a daughter for him. Why shouldn’t he be satisfied?
Therefore, when Qiao Shuyi suggested that the entire family go to Europe to relax, Jian Changsheng agreed without hesitation. He could use this opportunity to completely return to his family.
A few days later, their family flew to Europe from the capital.
On this day, Wang Yunmei and Jian Yu were looking at houses in a villa.
On the way home, Wang Yunmei drove and said casually, “Xiao Ai already said that they’ll hold the wedding in two years. Isn’t it too early for you to buy her a wedding house?”
Jian Yu was texting to handle work matters. Hearing this, he looked up at his mother in the rearview mirror and smiled. “A wedding is a wedding. Marriage is marriage. This is my wedding gift to celebrate their marriage.”
“Although Young Master Ji has a lot of properties in Baiyun, Xiao Ai doesn’t have them yet. I can buy one for her. This way, when she returns to Baiyun in the future, she can spend time alone with Young Master Ji. It’s also convenient.”
At the mention of their private time, Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but tremble in fear. She subconsciously said, “Oh, do you think Xiao Ai will get pregnant soon?”
Jian Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “Why do you sound like you don’t want Xiao Ai to be pregnant? Don’t you want to be a grandmother?”
“Besides, the two of them are already married. Isn’t it reasonable to give birth? It’s not like they got pregnant before marriage.”
“That’s not what I mean.” Wang Yunmei came back to her senses and said, “I’m just thinking if Xiao Ai gives birth so early, will it delay her enjoyment of her youth? You have to know that girls are at their best before thirty years old. My heart aches for Xiao Ai, and I want her to have more fun. There’s no hurry for children.”
Wang Yunmei was reasonable, but Jian Yu said, “For some people, a child is the bliss of life, let alone two people who love each other. A child is the fruit of love. This is also a big deal in life. Xiao Ai won’t be rash. If she’s like you, she naturally won’t want a child so early. But if she’s pregnant now, she must have thought about it before deciding. Don’t worry about her.”
Hearing her son’s words, Wang Yunmei nodded. She couldn’t help but turn around and look at her son. She smiled and said, “You know better than me. Your sister is already married, but you don’t have a partner. You have to hurry.”
Suddenly, the topic changed to him. Jian Yu sighed helplessly. “I’m just prioritizing my career. My new company has just started, so I don’t have time to talk about love. Besides, feelings can’t be forced. I still have to…”
Halfway through, Jian Yu’s eyes suddenly widened. He shouted, “Mom, be careful!”
Squeak—
An ear-piercing sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded, followed by a rumble—
Everything around them fell silent, and the world fell into darkness.
There was a traffic accident on Fuyuan Street in Haicheng District. An overloaded sand truck suddenly flipped sideways and crushed the right half of a Mercedes-Benz car driving on the left into scrap metal on the spot. The entire car was also covered by fine sand from the sand truck.
The medical staff, firefighters, and traffic police rushed out at the same time. After doing their best to save them, they managed to save the two unconscious injured people in the driver’s seat on the left and the backseat on the left.
Although they were spared, the left side of the car was still greatly damaged. The living space was small, and the car was filled with fine sand. When the two of them were saved, their vital signs were so weak that they were about to disappear. Later, they were sent to the First People’s Hospital in Baiyun City for emergency treatment.
At that moment, Jian Ai was sitting in a university classroom. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making her feel as if the sky had collapsed.
The despair of losing a family member in her previous life suddenly assaulted her. It was so familiar and terrifying.
When they rushed back to Baiyun City, Ji Haoyu was already waiting at the airport to pick them up. The two of them went to the hospital immediately.
The corridor was filled with people.
“Xiao Ai!”
Seeing that Jian Ai was here, Wang Yunzhi quickly rushed up. Her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had just cried.
However, Jian Ai couldn’t cry no matter what. She couldn’t even feel sad. There was only fear, especially fear. She subconsciously had goosebumps all over her body.
“How are they?”
Jian Ai asked expressionlessly with a mechanical tone. In this lifetime, she had never been as afraid as she was now. Her mind was even in a daze, and she couldn’t tell if it was a dream or reality.
“They’re still undergoing emergency treatment. They’ve been in there for over four hours,” Wang Yunzhi said.
Jiang Chunfen comforted her. “Xiao Ai, don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
The others were silent. They knew it was useless to say anything now.
At this moment, the phone rang.
It was Bai Zhou.
“Sect Master, Miss Wasp is already on the plane, and so is Xiao Zhen. Si Yue and I will take the next plane back to Baiyun City immediately. Yu Wuyuan rode his sword and left first. He should be there soon. I’ve also informed Yun Buyao.”
This call pulled Jian Ai back to her senses.
She could not lose control. Her mother and brother were not dead yet. She still had a way to save them. As long as she could keep her mother and brother alive before Wasp and Xiao Zhen rushed over, she could save them.
“Haoyu, help me make a trip to the Public Security Bureau and the traffic police to get the surveillance video of the incident. Also, watch the truck driver for me. Use your connections to detain him. We can’t let him leave, let alone let him die!”
After calming down, Jian Ai said decisively.
This was not over. If it was just an ordinary traffic accident, everything would be fine.
If someone did it on purpose, she would dig three feet into the ground to find the mastermind!
