Chapter 140 Looking Down On

"Xu Yi, what's wrong with you? Why are you driving so slowly?" Fu Hange asked anxiously from the side.

"It's already fast enough, and we still have to wait for the traffic light, what more do you want from me?"

Fu Hange sensed that the man next to her was even more impatient than she was. In the back seat, Xu's mother was sweating profusely from the pain caused by her recklessness. Guilt and anger intertwined, and her emotions surged up: "Didn't you see how much pain your mother was in? How could you be so irresponsible?"

Xu Yi didn't say anything after hearing this, but slammed on the gas pedal in anger, and Fu Hange's body suddenly leaned forward due to inertia.

Xu Yi sped along recklessly, and Fu Hange vaguely saw a girl riding a bicycle towards them at the intersection ahead. The girl looked to be around 20 years old, with her ponytail haphazardly swinging behind her head, and her plain white shirt accentuating her delicate appearance. "Screech!" The bicycle suddenly stopped, followed by a thud, and then Xu's mother groaned in pain from the sudden braking.

But they weren't the ones who got hit. Xu Yi got out of the car and immediately saw the girl lying beside his vehicle. Blood was streaming from both knees, and her elbows were instantly bruised. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. She instinctively tried to use her hands to support herself, but she couldn't muster any strength. Xu Yi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he picked her up and tossed her into the back seat before returning to the driver's seat himself.

"Who is she?" Fu Hange asked.

Jiang Xiaoling, sitting in the back seat, said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble. I'm really sorry."

Xu Yi turned the steering wheel back on and started the engine. Fu Hange couldn't help but ask, "Were you the one who was riding the bicycle at breakneck speed just now?"

Jiang Xiaoling felt even more embarrassed at this question. She scratched her head and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm almost late for work today, so..."

Xu's mother was very kind. She patted her hand and said, "It's okay, but you need to go to the hospital because you're injured like this. Don't go to work today, take the day off."

Xu Yi, who was driving ahead, said lazily, "Yeah, I don't think you can go to work like this. Luckily you met me, otherwise anyone else would have given up on you long ago."

Fu Hange was speechless. He was being narcissistic again. He just couldn't shake his self-righteousness. She nudged him with her elbow: "Come on, drive properly and stop talking nonsense. If you hadn't been driving so fast, she wouldn't have hit you."

This woman... who was it that just told him to drive faster? Now she's inexplicably blaming him. But because she's so domineering, Xu Yi didn't dare show it.

At the city's central hospital, Fu Hange watched Xu's mother and Jiang Xiaoling enter the emergency room. She and Xu Yi each found a place to sit down. Fu Hange clasped her hands in front of her chest. Xu Yi sat opposite her, legs crossed, listening to upbeat music through his headphones.

Based on this alone, Fu Hange mentally belittled Xu Yi once again. She utterly despised someone who could be so indifferent to even his own mother.

Of course, she knew that her attitude towards Xu's mother was not very good, but after all, she had never felt their warmth since she was a child, so she comforted herself that it was understandable.

The door was pushed open, and Xu's mother and Jiang Xiaoling slowly walked out. Because their wounds were wrapped in bandages, it was a little inconvenient for them to walk. Coincidentally, both of them had injured knees.

"My name is Jiang Xiaoling. I'm so sorry for causing you all trouble, especially with the medical expenses. I'll definitely pay you back next time."
