Miao Xinyuan received a great shock, she thought Lu Yi saw her. It was so sudden, like someone dead asleep had suddenly spoke, which was scarier than suddenly ceasing to breathe.
She shuddered uncontrollably, but she was able to react quickly.
“I’ve come to visit you,” Miao Xinyuan walked toward him. Although he was wearing a patient’s garment, but his red rosy cheeks and healthy limbs suggested that he was in good condition.
“You’ve seen me now, so you can leave now, right?” Lu Yi opened his eyes, his dark pupils were deeply sunken.
“Lu Yi, you…!” Miao Xinyuan’s rage was kindled once more.
Recently, Ye Shuyun was wary of her, as if she was a thief. No one visited her. She was also a patient and a victim. What now? Has she been forgotten? She just wanted to see Lu Yi but no one appreciated her.
Now, she took another cold blow from Lu Yi. Even if her temper was milder, she could not maintain her calm, not to mention her temper was not very good to begin with. She was a pampered girl, so from young till now, she has never been humiliated this way.
Lu Yi’s calm eyes stayed open, and his sight arrived above his head.
“Lu Yi, don’t forget why I had to be hospitalized!” Miao Xinyuan chided him coldly. She was a healthy person, but now she is in the hospital because of the Lu family, because of Lu Yi.
“Do you need to rewatch the CCTV?” Lu Yi was not angry, he did not smile, but rather asked Miao Xinyuan calmly.
No one was clearer than the two of them on how the car accident happened. If concussion knocked away their memory, they could check the CCTV, or, of course, the high definition video from the dashcam.
All these could help them recreate the entire incident from the beginning to the end. If anyone had to take responsibility for the accident, it would be Miao Xinyuan.
She was frozen in place. Lu Yi’s words poked into her head like a needle.
Her mind was not knocked silly, and she lost no memory.
She actually knew clearly the reason for the incident.
She bit her lip and pushed the door hard before stomping out. She was actually here to thank him, and to apologize. She was not an unreasonable person, and never intended to push all the blame to him.
But she was angered.
She could not bring herself to apologize, her pride would not allow her to bow down her head.
She almost bumped into Lei Qingyi when she stomped out. But she could not have knocked him down, rarely anyone could knock down that bear of a man.
Lei Qingyi made way swiftly. He had always kept a good distance from these kind of woman. He hated women who wanted to be pampered. He’d outright cut anyone who bothered him to pieces.
He opened the door and walked in with big strides.
He sat down.
“She was here?”
“Yeah,” Lu Yi opened his eyes, “Have you brought everything?”
“Yep, I’ve brought them.”
Lei Qingyi put down a bag of things in front of Lu Yi, “Your cellphone, tea, and laptop. Do you still need anything? If you do I can fetch them for you.”
“Thanks,” Lu Yi took his things, and turned on his cell, only to find that the battery was dead. He counted the weeks, it has been six weeks. He might have to lie to her for a few more days.
“Have you told her about what happened to me?”
Lu Yi asked Lei Qingyi.
“Her?” Lei Qingyi was confused at first, but quickly understood who “she” was. She was none other than Yan Huan.
“I didn’t,” He shrugged, yeah, he really didn’t say a word, but Yan Huan came back herself, and she left.
Lu Yi threw his phone to Lei Qingyi, “Help me charge it.”
Lei Qingyi hurriedly caught the phone. Like an old mother, whatever Lu Yi says, he’ll do. Well, the healthy person can’t argue with the patient.
Oh, right. After connecting the cable, he remembered the important thing. He did not come here just to deliver Lu Yi’s stuff. There was one unfinished business.
“I’ve sent the car for repairs. The damage was too bad, even the bumper fell off. Also, I have checked the CCTV and the dashcam. You are not at fault.”
“She’s fully liable.”
“If you want to hold her responsible, I can take her away now. Don’t worry, she’s fine. Look at her rosy cheeks, she even seemed to have gained some weight, looks like she’s been eating well.”
“That’s unnecessary.” Lu Yi turned on his laptop, and put it on his lap, checking if there are any big cases recently. The thought of suing Miao Xinyuan did not even cross his mind.
Why not? It was like what Miao Xinyuan said, although she caused the accident, the entire incident, from why she was in Sea City, to how the accident brought them to the hospital, was all because of the Lu family.
On this point, the Lu family owed her.
So it was fair to call it even.
His fingers quickly flew across the keyboard, almost creating afterimages, but he did not realize Lei Qingyi’s pity and sympathy on him.
Kid, your wife’s running away, I wonder when will you know.
He really wanted to tell him, but he was terrified when reminded of Yi Ling’s queenlike manner when she put her hands on her waist. He did not want to waste his effort after painstakingly coaxing that woman.
Lu Yi was completely oblivious. He was still scheming on how to keep the truth away from Yan Huan over the weekend.
When the phone was fully charged, he picked it up. But his hand trembled, and the phone crashed to the floor. The phone was terribly cracked. He pressed his pale lips together tightly, looking at the floor with no expression.
When his cellphone returned to his hands, all the calling records seemed to have disappeared because of the fall. He did not know if anyone called him in the past feel days. He did not check them because he wasn’t thinking nor expecting too much.
He got better as the days went by. However, no one around him had ever mentioned Yan Huan. They did not dare to mention her, nor did they know how to do so.
But when he grabbed his cell and keyed in that number, the softest spot in his heart was touched for a moment, and it ached him.
