Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
The May Day holiday is almost here again. In 1999, there was no Golden Week in May; there was only a three-day holiday.
Students and office workers get holidays, but shop owners don't. Not only do they not get holidays, they're even busier.
In his previous life, Yang Guohua had to rush out to buy groceries in the middle of the night before the May Day holiday because he was too busy before the holiday and the Yang Family Restaurant didn't have enough stock.
Although we got an early holiday on April 30th, we could still buy vegetables at reasonable prices. But if it really comes to May Day, we'll be at a loss!
How could Yang Guohua, who was frugal back then, possibly buy a large quantity of vegetables that were one or two times more expensive than usual? He was only making a small profit margin to begin with, and doubling the price would have been worse than not doing business at all; it would have been a losing proposition!
In this life, however, Yang Guohua no longer needs to go out to buy goods in the middle of the night, and with a van, he no longer needs to ride a tricycle.
Yang Yajing used the excuse that she was going to Chen Jiaoyun's house to play and wouldn't come back at night to get Yang Guohua to stay home and do the accounting, and wouldn't let him go out no matter what.
This wasn't the first time Yang Yajing had stayed overnight at Chen Jiaoyun's house. The two girls seemed inseparable, spending a day or two together during holidays, so Yang Guohua never suspected anything.
Moreover, the store will be very busy during the May Day holiday. Without Yang Yajing's help in the morning, he will have to go to bed early and get up early to avoid being overwhelmed.
Yang Yajing went to Chen Jiaoyun's house, but she did not stay overnight. Instead, she left around 10 p.m.
She went to stake out the intersection where the accident happened, hoping to find out who was suspected of drunk driving and fleeing the scene in the middle of the night.
Although she could help Yang Guohua avoid a car accident in this life, she couldn't get over it. In her previous life, she never understood what had happened, living a life of confusion. This time, she didn't want to just drift through life in a daze.
She was also worried about something else: if Yang Guohua wasn't there, and someone else was hit instead, she could make amends in time to prevent that person from becoming Yang Guohua in that lifetime.
Self-rescue is good, but if self-rescue harms others, then it is a sin! Yang Yajing's experience in her previous life made her uneasy, which is why she was determined to catch that scoundrel.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time to go out the same place Yang Guohua had left years ago. Yang Yajing took out the camera she had prepared beforehand, hung it on a tree, and aimed it at the intersection.
While Nikon's instant shooting mode wasn't as user-friendly as today's mobile phone videos, it was considered high-end at the time, with its remote-controlled continuous shooting function and ability to capture images within a minute.
Yang Yajing surveyed the road conditions and turned off the flash. This section had streetlights, so the lighting was excellent; visibility should have been clear, and she shouldn't have hit anyone, right? In her previous life, how could she have missed such a large target as a tricycle and still hit it?
About half an hour later, a man riding a moped appeared on the street. Just as Yang Yajing thought that the man was the one who caused the accident, the rumble of a motorcycle came from afar.
That was the sound of a sports car with its muffler turned off! Yang Yajing vaguely guessed that was the real culprit.
Because the car was driving in a wobbly "straight line" at a high speed, and the stereo was turned up to the maximum, the piercing noise could be heard from a great distance.
Yang Yajing could hear it, and so could the man on the moped. He glanced back and moved aside to the sidewalk.
But the sports car seemed to have no concept of lanes at all, sometimes scraping the curb and sometimes driving into the opposite lane.
Before the man on the moped could get off and avoid it, the sports car came hurtling towards him and knocked him over with a thud.
Although the person was wearing a helmet, the impact, coupled with the fact that the person and the vehicle spun several times on the road, meant that by the time they came to a stop, the vehicle was already motionless.
The sports car stopped briefly after the collision, and Yang Yajing, who was hiding behind the green belt, quickly picked up another camera and continued taking pictures.
A man and a woman got off the bus, looked back, seemed to say something, then switched seats and drove away without hesitation, leaving the injured person behind.
Yang Yajing, who witnessed this scene, was stunned and felt extremely cold-hearted. The woman who had gotten out of the car and was originally in the driver's seat, the one who had caused her father's death in her previous life, was none other than Jiang Xuanxuan!
Jiang Xuanxuan was so drunk that she couldn't even walk in a straight line!
Jiang Xuanxuan was driving without a license!
Jiang Xuanxuan, who caused the accident and fled the scene!
And then there's Jiang Xuanxuan, who knowingly caused the death of her "best friend's" father, yet hypocritically came to the Yang family to comfort and mourn him!
No wonder Jiang Xuanxuan got a new car after that day in my previous life! No wonder I couldn't get through to Jiang Xuanxuan on the phone all day after that day!
I see!
Since you, Jiang Xuanxuan, are so heartless, then don't blame Yang Yajing for being unjust!
When Yang Yajing emerged from behind the green belt, her face was streaked with tears. She hastily wiped her face and checked on the injured person.
In her previous life, she worked at a school and learned a lot about first aid. After checking that the person was still breathing and examining their bones, she turned them into a first aid position before calling 120 (the emergency number).
After making the emergency call, Yang Yajing took the instant photo down from the tree, and then used her camera to copy the photos before checking the person's identity information.
She found the ID card, copied down the address, and also wrote down the initial injuries she had observed on the injured person's arm. She only turned and left when she saw the ambulance was almost there.
She can't let Jiang Xuanxuan know she's there yet, otherwise there will be many variables in how things develop, which will disrupt her prophecy from her past life and make it harder to control.
When it got light, Yang Yajing went directly to the nearby post office and anonymously mailed the photos to the address on the injured person's ID card.
However, she was also cautious and did not send out the photos she had taken, but only the instant photos.
