Chapter 12 Chapter 12 A sound of like, like a little hook...
She wanted to add Zhou Jing on WeChat, but Li Chengchuan's face turned cold. He hadn't even added Xing Kui on WeChat yet. She wanted to add Jiang Yuming and Zhou Jing, but she didn't want to add him.
"I'm not adding Lawyer Zhou to the group." Xing Kui thought of the Jiang Yuming incident and added hurriedly, "I want to add him personally. Discussing the case will involve my personal privacy information, which is not convenient to chat about in the group."
That's right.
Li Chengchuan was not very happy, his face was as stiff as a corpse that had been dead for several days. He clicked to recommend a friend and sent it to the group.
His eyes are naturally deep, with narrow and long tails, slightly upturned but the curvature is not obvious. When he is in a bad mood, he tends to press his eyebrows, which increases the curvature and makes his eyes look sharper, which is the case now.
Xing Kui didn't know why she was in a bad mood after adding Zhou Jing and Li Chengchuan. Now Li Chengchuan was the person who introduced the lawyer to her, and was equivalent to an intermediary who could not be offended. She carefully tugged at Jiang Yuming's clothes and asked him for help.
He will be happy if you add him - Jiang Yuming picked up a piece of pumpkin with chopsticks. The pumpkin was stewed soft and as sticky as the look of help.
He suddenly realized that amnesia had put him and his marriage partner Li Chengchuan back on the same starting line. In Xing Kui's eyes, she had just met both him and Li Chengchuan not long ago, and perhaps she thought they were both kind-hearted people, but she naturally trusted doctors more than her fellow patients whose backgrounds she didn't know.
Oh? If Xing Kui had a favor bar, wouldn't his progress be faster than Li Chengchuan's?
Jiang Yuming curled his lips in disdain. With his evil mind taking over, he picked up a piece of lush green spinach with his chopsticks and put it between his lips: "Hmm, this spinach is cooked well, Lao Li, eat more."
Xing Kui thought Jiang Yuming was trying to lighten the mood for her, so she nodded in agreement. "Yeah, stir-fried vegetables are delicious too, Li Chengchuan. Eat some."
Li Chengchuan took a look and saw that the spinach and green vegetables were all very green.
He understood Xing Kui and knew she had no ill intentions, but it was hard to say that Jiang Yuming didn't do it on purpose.
Are you making fun of him?
It’s just that Xing Kui wants to add Zhou Jing on WeChat. He is very jealous, but he can still accept it. Zhou Jing is a law-abiding person and will not steal his girl.
Besides, traffic accident cases, if everything goes smoothly, can be concluded in half a day without going to court. By then, Zhou Jing would delete his friends, and his friend list would not include people whose cases had been closed.
Jiang Yuming casually ate a mouthful of greens towards Li Chengchuan, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes and lips. Who knows what will happen in the future? Anyway, now he and Zhou Jing have both added Xing Kui on WeChat, except for her real fiancé.
In the middle of the meal, Xing Kui saw that Zhou Jing had added her as a friend, so she quickly changed the note for the lawyer, deleting the original nickname "Jing" and writing "Lawyer Zhou Jing".
She carefully edited the opening remarks and sent it over.
At Zhou Jing's home.
Because he had accepted Xing Kui's commission, Zhou Jing sincerely wanted to call to learn more about the case and explain that he was not a pervert. However, when he dialed the number, the other party called him a liar.
A subtle hint of "trouble" flashed across his gentle and cold eyes. Zhou Jing raised the hand wearing the gold-gray watch and unbuttoned the top button of his gray shirt.
Li Chengchuan called off the marriage, and while Zhou Jing wasn't as certain as his chatty male buddy that the woman was cheating, he also felt the problem lay with her. However, Li Chengchuan had gone to such lengths to coerce him into helping her with the traffic accident compensation, so he probably thought the rift between them could still be mended.
If nothing unexpected happens, the woman will still be Li Chengchuan's wife in the future. If he doesn't take the case today, Li Chengchuan will have a grudge against him in the future, which will not be worth it.
That's why he accepted it, there was no other reason.
But this person who would become Li Chengchuan's wife in the future was really troublesome. Zhou Jing had never had the experience of making two phone calls and being called "pervert" on the first call and "liar" on the second call.
Zhou Jing already had a bad impression of the woman who was suspected of betraying Li Chengchuan, and this made him even more concerned. He added her on WeChat and wanted to make things clear.
He is not a pervert, nor is he a liar. What's more, the liar lacks conscience. Even if she told the liar that "she was so poor that she had to share a table for dinner", it would not make the liar soften his heart. It is best not to answer the scam call next time.
Press the on-screen keyboard with your fingertips and you will receive the other party's message before sending the message.
Little Sunflower Fighting: [Hello, my name is Xing Kui. Li Chengchuan introduced you to me. I heard you're incredibly skilled. I'd like to ask, how much do you charge?]
Zhou Jing was silent. First of all, Li Chengchuan couldn't have praised him in such a way. She had added it herself. Secondly, Li Chengchuan wanted her to give him money?
She even had to share a table for meals and could not afford to treat him.
Lawyer Zhou Jing: [I am a good friend of Li Chengchuan, and I will not charge any fees.]
It's great that he's a good friend of her fellow patient Li Chengchuan! It's free!
The anxious Xing Kui calmed down and smiled happily at Li Chengchuan who was sitting opposite her.
Li Chengchuan saw the new message.
Zhou Jing: [You pay the fee.]
What else could it be? If it wasn't him who got married, then who would it be Jiang Yuming? He hadn't intended to let Xing Kui pay in the first place.
The original plan was to let Xing Kui win another prize, but it seems that this is no longer necessary, as Zhou Jing is quite sensible.
On the seventh day of hospitalization, the stitches were removed.
The wound on his forehead, which had been stitched twelve times, had formed a hard black and red scab. The needle and thread were stuck to the scab, and it was excruciatingly painful to remove it.
After the demolition, Xing Kui's face was as white as snow, and she put on her hat: "Doctor Jiang, thank you for coming with me."
Jiang Yuming pushed the wheelchair: "It just so happens that there is no surgery this afternoon."
The MRI showed that there was fluid accumulation in her knee joint. Fortunately, the amount of fluid was not large. In about another week, she will be able to get out of the wheelchair.
She was still quite optimistic. She had just finished the torturous stitch removal, with cold sweat still on the tip of her pale nose. She lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. Was her mobile phone as good-looking as him?
"How is the compensation going?" Jiang Yuming asked.
"I don't know. I've left it to Lawyer Zhou. I don't understand either. Li Chengchuan helped me deliver my ID and power of attorney to him." Xing Kui also recorded a video as evidence to prevent her fellow patients from using her ID to do anything bad.
I still remember Li Chengchuan's expression when she was filming the video. His handsome face was as dark as Bao Gong, like a husband who was not trusted but could not refute.
"Actually, you can let me go." Jiang Yuming said meaningfully, "Li Chengchuan's friends are also my friends."
"Huh? Really?" Xing Kui knocked his head in frustration, "I didn't expect that."
Her regret was visible to the naked eye. Jiang Yuming narrowed his eyes slightly. See, he said he was more trustworthy than Li Chengchuan: "Remember this next time."
Xing Kui nodded like pounding garlic, continued to play with his phone, and occasionally smiled.
"What are you so happy about?" Jiang Yuming lowered his eyes and saw her smiling, so he smiled too.
He had noticed before that every time Xing Kui used her phone, she would turn it on and hold it away from her face before doing anything. She also seemed to have chosen the highest setting when the screen went into sleep mode, because the black screen would reflect her disfigured face, which she didn't want to see.
It was so cute that Jiang Yuming suspected that Xing Kui had to hunch over and hide from the mirror when going to the bathroom.
"Hmm?" Xing Kui turned her head dazedly. Beneath the brim of her hat, her scarred face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, like a golden sunflower born from decay. "Do you want to listen to me?"
Jiang Yuming pressed down the brim of his hat to block her face: "You just happen to be free, you can listen." See what our good child is so happy about.
The brim of her hat rubbed her nose, and Xing Kui wrinkled her nose to fix it: "There's a saying in my hometown dialect, 'Treat scars as if they were scabies', which means to treat minor illnesses with major treatments, and to scold people for being pretentious..."
When he heard the beginning, the rogue smile in Jiang Yuming's narrow and gorgeous eyes froze slightly.
"From childhood to adulthood, whenever I was sick or injured, my mother would tell me this," Xing Kui continued.
When I was a child, I ate fish and the fish bones scratched my throat.
When I was in junior high school, I fell into a ditch while riding my bicycle.
I got chickenpox from a classmate in college.
…
And now, after work, I was hit by a car and sent to the hospital.
Maybe her pain threshold is low, so sometimes the injuries are really minor, like when she gets burned by the hot steam while holding a bowl, she will gasp.
But the pain and fear behind her gasp were real. She was burned, and she wanted to hear someone's concern, or just ignore her, rather than blurt out sarcasm.
"'A scar can be a scab'—this saying has been my nightmare since I was little. After surviving the car accident, I've always wanted to do things I didn't do before, including rebelling against this saying."
Xing Kui tilted her head back. "I didn't expect that this matter would be resolved before I even started to use my power. I spoke to my mother this morning, and she actually told me not to say anything like that in the future. It's all spread on Douyin, and it would be embarrassing if I said it."
She raised her phone to Jiang Yuming and said, "Look, I'm not the only one who's been hurt by this in the comments section. Now everyone will be free."
"So our good kid is happy about this." Jiang Yuming bent his eyebrows, showing a gorgeous smile, and touched Xing Kui's head through the hat.
It was he who found the dialect, and it was Li Chengchuan who abolished it. If he told her, I think both of them would gain more favor with Xing Kui.
If he gains less and Li Chengchuan gains more, then the progress bars of the two brothers might be on par with each other - that's not okay, he likes to be ahead in everything.
Ahaha, then it’s different from Xing Kui’s talkativeness.
Xing Kui was concentrating on watching videos. Many people shared their experiences in the comment section, and some even suffered from depression because of this sentence. She either liked the comments in support or left messages of comfort, sending text messages or emojis of hugs.
Not only Douyin, but also with the help of big data, she saw similar push notifications on Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, etc. Xing Kui tapped the frame of the phone with her fingertips, raised it and pinched the brim of her hat.
At first, she wanted to buy an identical hat to return to her savior, but she couldn't find it after searching for pictures on several shopping apps. Maybe she should try posting a message and video, and use big data to ask netizens to show their skills.
She did what she said. As soon as Jiang Yuming pushed her into the ward, she took off the baseball cap that covered her scar and put it on the bed to take pictures.
The hat is a brown cotton wide-brimmed hat with a row of embroidered small cakes on the side. It creates a color contrast on the blue and white hospital blanket, and it looks good no matter how you photograph it.
It just lacks explosive points.
Xing Kui grabbed her phone and flipped through the photos she had taken, but she didn't think they were very eye-catching. Netizens wouldn't click on the posts they saw, and would just delete the videos they saw... Her thoughtful gaze shifted from the quilt to Jiang Yuming by the bed. She originally wanted to ask for his opinion, but she couldn't take her eyes off him when she saw his hand.
Long, white, with distinct finger bones, a work of art nurtured by rose sap. Veins snaked like stems on the back of the hand, and the sides of the fingers had just the right amount of wrinkles. The nails were neatly trimmed, and the five fingers sang with lust.
"Doctor Jiang! Can you please take a picture of me holding the hat? Please." Xing Kui's eyes lit up and she put her hands together in a pleading gesture, "Just use your hands."
Jiang Yuming raised his eyebrows and looked at his hands: "Do you think it looks good?"
Xing Kui nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
Jiang Yuming: "Do you like it?"
Xing Kui: "Who doesn't like it!"
The sound of "I like it" was like a small hook that caught Jiang Yuming's heart. He was pleased, narrowed his eyes, and stretched out his hand: "Well, grab it, say it again, and I will promise you."
Xing Kui looked at his outstretched hand, was silent for a moment, and looked up with starry eyes: "Can I catch two?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you'll only lend me one. You know how to take pictures, I want to take a lot of pictures in turn and then choose..." Xing Kui added to the explanation, feeling more and more guilty as she spoke. Okay, okay, who doesn't want to hold the hand of a beauty?
"If you wish."
"Yeah!" Xing Kui sat on the hospital bed, holding Jiang Yuming's hands. "Mom!" It felt like another item on my life list had been completed!
The man's hand she was holding was dry yet warm. The heat spread from her arms to her cheeks along the point of contact. Xing Kui lowered her head in embarrassment. To a third person, this action looked like a proposal. Fortunately, there was no one else in the room.
Clearing his throat, he raised his head again: "Listen carefully, Dr. Jiang, I like you——"
The doorknob clicked, and Li Chengchuan opened the door: "What do you like?"
Xing Kui turned her neck stiffly: "Hand? Mom!"
She was startled, shook off Jiang Yuming's hands, and patted her violently beating heart, "Can you walk a little louder!" Her eyes rolled, and she raised the back of her hand to her face, "It's all your fault for scaring me. My face must be red now!"
Li Chengchuan glanced at her, as if to say: You'd better be blushing because you're really scared.
Jiang Yuming said calmly: "She was asking me to help her take something and take a picture." It seemed like an explanation, but in fact he omitted the key point.
Li Chengchuan walked to the middle of bed number seven and eight, pulled Jiang Yuming away, and sat down beside bed number seven. He closed his eyes, which were filled with darkness, and then opened them again: "What photos? Let me take them."
"Lao Li, are you trying to steal our business?"
Shut up! If Li Chengchuan didn't know that his good brother only loves supermodels, he would have wanted to chop off his hands when he opened the door and came in.
It must be a misunderstanding. Li Chengchuan propped up his head with his broad hands. He shouldn't have misunderstood: "You have time to take pictures with Jiang Yuming, why don't you ask about the progress of Zhou Jing's case."
"Eh? Do I need to ask?" Xing Kui hesitated. "I'm afraid asking too much will only cause more trouble. I can't remember what happened, so I can't help you except providing identification documents."
Jiang Yuming echoed: "Did you hear that? She means well, why are you being so mean to her?"
Li Chengchuan: "..." Was he mean to her? His real intention was not to get involved with her, he was just jealous, how could he be mean to her?
"It's okay, it's okay." Xing Kui quickly waved her hand and smiled positively. "Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, it's a simple matter. My mother was at the scene and understood the whole process. I told Lawyer Zhou what she saw, and Lawyer Zhou said that I was walking normally on the zebra crossing, and if the other party ran a red light, they would be fully responsible."
The phone beside him lit up. It was Zhou Jing who sent a message: [I'm at the traffic police brigade.]
[The perpetrator wants to confront you face to face. Can you come over? ]
Xing Kui looked at it, and the editor replied: [I can't come right now. My legs are not convenient for walking. Can you postpone it for a few days? ]
[Yes.] Zhou Jing finished typing these two words in the driver's seat, leaned his head back against the leather chair, and rubbed his temples with his thumbs. Just now at the traffic police brigade, the noise caused by the accident gave him a headache.
The hand that was rubbing the solar plexus fell to the steering wheel, and the perpetrator claimed that it was Xing Kui who caused him to have a car accident. It was really interesting, and it was completely opposite to what Xing Kui said to him.
