Qiao's mother's condition had finally improved a bit, and Qiao Zhen dared not cause her any trouble because of her own affairs.

Seeing Qiao Zhen's coquettish face, Qiao's mother finally gave up for the time being.

"Okay, let's eat first."

After dinner, Qiao Zhen was afraid that her mother would ask her about her relationship with Lu Zheng, so she lied and said that she had to do a work summary and hurriedly returned to her room.

Lu Zheng did not appear for the next few days.

Every time Qiao Zhen was questioned by her mother, she racked her brains to come up with a solution.

During this time, Gu Xijue called Qiao Zhen several times to ask her out for dinner, but Qiao Zhen refused each time.

That weekend, Qiao Zhen had just gotten up when she received a call from an unknown number.

Hello, who is this?

Qiao Zhen asked, puzzled.

An anxious voice came from the other end.

"Ms. Qiao, I'm Mr. Lu's assistant. Mr. Lu was in a car accident and suffered serious injuries. He's currently at the city's central hospital. Do you have time to come over now?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, Qiao Zhen was startled and instantly sat up in bed.

"How did he get into a car accident? What exactly happened?"

Qiao Zhen was indeed still bothered by what happened that day, but she never thought of letting Lu Zheng disappear from her life.

While on the phone, Qiao Zhen hurriedly put on her clothes.

"I don't know the specifics. All I know is that after Mr. Lu was in the car accident and taken to the hospital, a large amount of alcohol was detected in his system."

Qiao Zhen tightened her grip on her phone, disregarding the conflict between the two, and immediately rushed downstairs.
