Chapter 929 - Hit and Run (1/2)
“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.
