Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Why on earth did she get into a car accident...
"Kui Kui, did you hear me? Don't go see the person who hit you. How dare you, a grown man, not come to the hospital! Kui Kui, leave the matter to a lawyer. If that person gets angry, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat him with your thin arms and legs."
"I heard it, I heard it. I'm not stupid, your daughter. If he tells me to go, I'll go. Hang up, I'm going through the discharge procedures."
"Okay, today is Friday, I have to go to work and can't take care of you, so take care of yourself."
"Okay, Mom."
On the fourteenth day of hospitalization, Xing Kui was discharged. Coincidentally, the patient in the next bed was also discharged today. When he was going through the discharge procedures, he could help her with it, so she didn't have to run around to go through the process.
The attending physician explained to Xing Kui in the ward the precautions to take after she returned home. Xing Kui had requested to be discharged from the hospital. In fact, the neurosurgeon did not recommend that she be discharged now.
She had intracranial hemorrhage and needed absolute rest for two to four weeks. The doctor prescribed some medicine and told her to stay in bed as much as possible after returning home and to keep a calm mind.
Jiang Yuming also said that leg injuries are not as dangerous as head injuries, so there is no need to rush to restore normal mobility. Just move your legs in bed temporarily to prevent blood clots.
Xing Kui thought, she's not in a hurry, the company gave her three months of paid leave! Now that she has something to support her, like a wall, she can already walk for a while, staggering, just to make sure her leg is intact.
There was nothing much to pack. She didn't want to take away the toothpaste, toothbrush and other toiletries she had bought. All that was left was to change out of her hospital gown. Xing Kui put her hands on her hips and looked at the clothes on the bed, feeling a little headache.
After the car accident, she went straight to the hospital and had no chance to bring extra clothes. The set of clothes she had on was the one she was wearing when the accident happened. Her clothes and pants... were all dirty and torn from being hit by the car.
Never mind, it’s wearable.
"My department has a spare set of clothes." Jiang Yuming looked over, "It's men's, though. I'll get it if you need it."
"It's okay, thank you, Dr. Jiang. Don't bother. I'll just wear this to avoid keeping Lawyer Zhou waiting at the traffic police station."
"Didn't you tell your mother that you couldn't go?"
"Oh no." Xing Kui blushed slightly after being caught lying to her mother. "I still have to go. If I don't go, I don't know how long this will drag on. It might turn into a bigger problem. Mom is worried about me, so I didn't tell her too much."
Outside the ward, a thin man with brace-shaped bangs was walking back and forth carrying a bag and something on his back. He was Li Chengchuan's assistant Chen Quan and also Xing Kui's colleague.
But he was not sure whether Xing Kui had forgotten him, because there were clothes in the bag, a women's suit on top and a men's suit on the bottom.
Mr. Li instructed that after entering the ward, if Xing Kui had not forgotten him, he would say that he heard from the company that she had been in a car accident and came to see her. He had a friend who had been in a car accident, and in order to prevent her from lacking a change of clothes like that friend, he borrowed a set from someone.
If Xing Kui forgot about him, he would say that when he was preparing clothes for President Li, he asked him to prepare an extra set in case she needed it.
Chen Quan recited it over and over again, making sure he could recite it backwards. He took a deep breath, grabbed the handle and opened the door, then paused. Didn't Mr. Li say that Sister Xing was disfigured?
Seeing his frightened look, Xing Kui skillfully picked up her hat and covered it with her head, pulling down the brim. "Are you here to look for Li Chengchuan? He went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Why don't you sit down and wait?"
"Xing, Xing Kui, you are the Xing Kui that Mr. Li mentioned, right?" Chen Quan reacted. The TV show was true to me. People can really lose their memories after being hit. Sister Xing actually forgot about him too. "I am Mr. Li's assistant. Mr. Li asked me to prepare clothes for you."
"Thank you!" Bed number seven is really the CEO. Xing Kui was shocked. She took the clothes and thanked him several times.
After she changed her clothes, Li Chengchuan, who had gone to get the medicine, also came back: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Zhou Jing."
Chen Quan watched them leave. My God, President Li is a driver. I've never seen such a thing in my life. Ever since Sister Xing had a car accident, Chen Quan received a call from President Li. He couldn't sleep every day and thought: President Li wouldn't like Secretary Xing, right?
It's confirmed! What a big piece of gossip! Chen Quan didn't dare to reveal it. He used to have a crush on Secretary Xing, but now he doesn't dare to have any thoughts about her anymore. That's President Li! Who can compete with President Li! The male doctor just now had a temperament that was not inferior to President Li...
In the parking lot, Jiang Yuming stood next to the black Bentley, helping Xing Kui into the back seat, his hand resting above her head to prevent her from getting bumped.
"Okay, you can go." Li Chengchuan pulled Jiang Yuming away and closed the car door. Even though he knew that his good brother was doing this for his sake, he still couldn't help but feel jealous.
Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "It's time to go." He looked at Xing Kui, who was holding a bag full of medicine, on the other side of the car window. "Remember to come back to the hospital when you feel unwell."
Xing Kui raised the corner of her lips and waved at him: "Okay."
The interior of the car was very comfortable, it was hard to put into words, maybe it was the design, maybe it was the soft seats, or maybe it was the right air conditioning temperature, but Xing Kui felt that this was the best car she had ever ridden in her life. Damn it, she couldn't afford it.
He lowered his head and sent a message to Xing's mother: [Reporting to Mom, I have been discharged from the hospital and am on my way home.]
[Okay, report to me at your rented house, and don't go see the person who hit you!]
Xing Kui smiled, leaned against the window, and went to the manager of Wansheng Hotel to express her gratitude and cancel the reservation.
The manager replied: [OK, OK, I wish you good health and a happy life] and then took a screenshot and sent it to Mr. Li.
Li Chengchuan got into the car while watching and closed the driver's door. The manager asked him, since Xing Kui had unsubscribed, could he disband the group?
Of course not! He hasn't added Xing Kui yet!
Li Chengchuan was editing the message when the next second, a new message from the manager popped up: [Um... Mr. Li, Miss Xing has left the group.]
The words were clearly written in black with a white frame. Li Chengchuan's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. He looked up at the rearview mirror inside the car. Xing Kui was leaning against the clear window, hugging the medicine bag. She had put away her phone and closed her eyes to rest, not caring at all that she hadn't added him as a friend.
Never mind. There were four people in the group, and he and Jiang Yuming were both there. Xing Kui's withdrawal from the group meant that he and Jiang Yuming were both cut off from each other, so it was considered treating them equally.
Li Chengchuan also quit the group and started the car. He not only wanted to be a patient in the bed next to Xing Kui, but they would continue to have contact in the future and there would be plenty of opportunities to add each other on WeChat.
Xing Kui, who was leaning against the window, slowly opened her eyes, watched the Huide Hospital where she had stayed for two weeks disappear into the distance, and slowly closed her eyes again.
The low-key Audi drove into a roadside parking space, and the owner Zhou Jing got out of the car. A dark gray cashmere coat without any decoration made him look like a model.
The people at the entrance of the traffic police brigade strode towards him. The fattest one running in front weighed at least 170 pounds, was in his thirties, and had a crew cut. He was the owner of the car that hit Xing Kui, and following behind him were two traffic policemen.
"Why are you so late? Do you want me to wait for you?" The perpetrator was angrily spitting out saliva while speaking.
Zhou Jing took a step to avoid the spray, raised his hand to check his watch, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses calm: "We agreed to meet at ten o'clock, and it's ten o'clock now."
"Are you here on time? Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Where are the people? Has that woman arrived? Is she in the car?" As he said that, the perpetrator wanted to open the car door.
One hand clasped his forearm, seemingly without exerting any force, yet in fact completely controlling him. Zhou Jing shook off the perpetrator's hand and said, "The discharge procedures have delayed us. My client will be here a little later."
"What? I'm so unlucky to run into her!" The perpetrator was furious, covering his head with his hands and feet moving around in anger.
"Relax, relax." A traffic police officer grabbed the person who caused the accident. "I know you feel wronged. Go inside and wait. Lawyer Zhou, you..."
"I'm outside." Zhou Jing reached into his coat pocket with a slender hand and took out his cell phone. He calmly leaned against the car and turned on the screen. He had a conversation with Xing Kui not long ago.
[I'm sorry! Lawyer Zhou, there are many people being discharged today, so the paperwork is taking a long time. Li Chengchuan said he'll be a little late. Please wait a moment. Thank you.]
Zhou Jing appears to be very polite and turns off the screen, but he is actually a good liar.
The driver claimed that Xing Kui was responsible for the accident; the traffic police, who had access to surveillance footage, also told him they understood his feelings of grievance. Xing Kui was likely responsible for the accident.
Zhou Jing hated clients who hid things from him or even lied to him, wasting his time.
A few minutes later, a familiar-looking Bentley stopped not far away. The back door opened and a woman wearing a brown baseball cap moved out, holding a bag of medicine.
Xing Kui? Li Chengchuan's legendary fiancée?
She walked to the driver's seat and knocked on the car window. The window moved down, revealing the face of her good brother Li Chengchuan. She didn't know what she said, but Li Chengchuan nodded. Then, Xing Kui turned around with a smile on his face.
What? Are they reconciled?
Zhou Jing had seen Xing Kui's ID card. Her appearance was just like the photo on her ID card: young and innocent, looking weak and easy to bully. She was the type who would hide in a corner and cry secretly.
It was all fake, all the evidence pointed to her deceiving him. Zhou Jing now doubted Li Chengchuan's judgment. Among the brothers, he and Li Chengchuan had the most similar temperaments. The elders had even joked that they might like the same type of girl.
How could he possibly like a liar?
"Is it... Lawyer Zhou?" Xing Kui walked closer to Zhou Jing and asked hesitantly with some caution.
"Yeah." Zhou Jing nodded politely.
"That's great!" Xing Kui relaxed and smiled, "I guessed you would be very handsome." She was so happy to see another top handsome guy.
Zhou Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, and smiled openly. Was she praising him now because she was afraid that he would embarrass her if her lies were exposed later? "Li Chengchuan isn't going in with us?"
Xing Kui limped forward: "Why is he going? I have nothing to do with him. He said he would wait in the car."
Oh, it seems that they haven’t reconciled and are still in the breakup period.
She did have difficulty walking, and she hadn't lied to him about that. Her steps were slow and unsteady, and Zhou Jing guessed that if she walked for another five minutes, sweat would be dripping from her hat.
Even so, Zhou Jing did not lend a hand. He did not like to interact with others, and he would not forgive the other party and cover up his mistakes just because the client felt sorry for him.
As soon as they entered the traffic police station, the driver who was sitting there stood up and shouted, "She, it's her, she's finally here. Tell me the truth, what do you mean I ran a red light? I'm so unlucky to have met a villain!"
Xing Kui shrank back. She was hit by a car and passed out. This was the first time she saw the true face of the person who caused the accident. She immediately recalled the pain she felt when she had just had the accident, which she could not describe in words.
But his eyes didn't move away from the traffic police: "The driver and the person who was hit have arrived. Please check the surveillance."
She actually guessed that what Xing's mother told her might be wrong.
The real reason for coming here was not as she told Jiang Yuming, that she was afraid that not coming would cause more trouble, but that she came to find the truth.
No matter why she had the car accident, she wanted to know and had the right to know.
"Okay, stop making noise." The traffic policeman who had watched the surveillance video stopped the perpetrator with an impatient tone, and did not seem to support him much.
Zhou Jing frowned in confusion.
The traffic policeman had a complicated look in his eyes and confirmed with Xing Kui whether he really wanted to see it. Only after getting an affirmative answer did he click on the surveillance video.
Video playback——
The green light, indicating pedestrian traffic, was counting down. At the zebra crossing, Xing Kui, wearing a windbreaker, was arguing with her mother. Her mother grabbed Xing Kui and dragged her back as she tried to leave. Xing Kui struggled and fell toward the zebra crossing. BANG! A car that ran a red light hit Xing Kui and sent her flying.
Zhou Jing's pupils shrank slightly.
A thin figure passed by, and Xing Kui put her hand on the table: "Can you turn up the volume a little? Play it again."
The surveillance camera was installed in recent years and can record sounds, but what Xing Kui and Xing's mother said specifically does not affect the determination of responsibility for the accident. The traffic police was in a dilemma, probably because he had heard it.
Under Xing Kui's gaze, he raised his voice.
"I don't want to go on a blind date!"
"You have to go even if you don't want to! I just don't believe it. Others have grandchildren and their families are so happy, but I don't. During the New Year's Eve dinner, I couldn't even get a word in. Year after year, you're almost thirty! What are you thinking? Come with me!"
"I'm not going! I'm not going! I'm not going!"
"Kui Kui!"
Bang!
