He probably thinks I'm ungrateful.
After all, I had knocked over the orange he had peeled for me earlier.
I looked away and happily ate the orange that my crush had peeled for me, segment by segment.
"President Song, President Ji, Miss Song—"
Fu Yanshen politely greeted the three of them loudly.
The handsome guy responded to him politely.
Ji Yan was cornered by Fu Yanshen's bodyguard the night I brought up divorce, which made her lose face in the second-generation elite circle. She has held a grudge ever since and has been ignoring Fu Yanshen ever since.
Luo Luo nodded to him in acknowledgment.
Fu Yanshen left the ward soon, probably to see his childhood sweetheart.
"Qiaoqiao, didn't you just take your car in for maintenance? How could the brakes fail? What did the traffic police say?"
As soon as Fu Yanshen left, Luo Luo brought up the matter and asked with concern.
"The traffic police said my brakes didn't fail, that's a miracle."
"Shi Xia even said that I hit her with my car. Why didn't I just kill her?"
My last sentence was delivered with emotion and sarcasm.
Mentioning that summer, even the oranges peeled by my crush don't taste good anymore.
"Damn it, is she kidding me? You should have just killed her, and she's repaying kindness with enmity!" Luo Luo spoke up for me.
"Who are you two talking about? Who would dare to accuse our young lady?" Ji Yan was completely confused, but her tone was full of righteousness and protectiveness as she defended me.
I was deeply moved.
"that is--"
“My dad has already taught her a lesson for me,” I quickly interrupted Luo Luo.
I'm worried that Ji Yan might act impulsively because of me and cause trouble for Shi Xia, which would then offend Fu Yanshen and be detrimental to him.
Luo Luo understood what I meant and cleverly covered for me by saying, "That's right, our Qiao Qiao has Uncle Sheng protecting her."
Looking at them protecting me, I felt a warm glow in my heart, as if I had returned to the time before I got married, when I was carefree and happy every day.
After marriage, I was completely obsessed with Fu Yanshen, and I distanced myself from my friends, rarely contacting them. Later, when Fu Yanshen wanted a divorce, I turned myself into a bitter, resentful woman.
The past is too painful to recall, so I quickly suppressed my memories and started chatting and laughing with Luo Luo and Ji Yan again. Song Sinan, like a patriarch, sat to the side, watching us fool around.
Today, he was impeccably dressed in a suit and tie, impeccably groomed from head to toe, sitting quietly to the side, exuding gentlemanly elegance.
Unwittingly, I met his gaze, and he had a faint smile on his lips.
When I looked again, he was already looking down and flipping through a magazine.
As far as I can remember, Song Sinan used to be quite aloof and even serious towards me.
In my past life, I lost contact with him after I got married. He was abroad all the time, and I never saw him again until my family went bankrupt.
Now that we've reunited, he seems to be treating me quite well.
It could also be because of Makino.
Song Sinan is a musician with a grand vision and a great appreciation for talent. He hopes that Muye can inject fresh blood into the stagnant Chinese music scene.
Let today's young people listen to some good, decent music.
I think Makino will definitely not let him down.
However, just as I was full of confidence, Makino was implicated because of me, his manager.
#The eldest daughter of the Shengshi Group is lawless and runs someone over with her car in broad daylight#
#Sheng Qiaoqiao hits someone#
#Muye's agent Sheng Qiaoqiao hits someone#
#Makino is the pre-selected champion#
Online, trending topics about me are everywhere.
I clicked on the most popular video, which contained photos of my red Ferrari crashing into a sycamore tree, and photos of Shi Xia lying on the ground.
And the audio and video recording of Xia's phone interview with the reporter.
"Ms. Shi, are you the person involved in Ms. Sheng's hit-and-run incident? Could you describe the cause and effect of the incident to us?"
After the reporter finished asking his question, there was a moment of silence on the phone.
"Miss Shi?"
"I'm sorry... I'm currently in the hospital and my emotions are still unstable. I can't reveal much about this matter right now. I'm just an employee of Shengshi..."
"I'm very lucky to have survived such a calamity."
"Beep—beep—"
"Miss Shi?"
Shi Xia said something unclear and then hung up.
In the video, her tone clearly conveyed unease, as if someone had a knife to her throat. She also said that she was an employee of Shengshi, which was implying that she dared not speak out.
That scheming bitch doesn't dare to openly admit that I hit her, but she wants netizens to know that I did, so she deliberately says sarcastic things.
My temples throbbed with anger.
In the comments below, netizens are all cursing me for abusing my power and being lawless, and they are all sympathizing with Shi Xia, who is weak and alone. She was almost killed by the company's rich girl and didn't dare to call the police, so she could only swallow her anger.
They even scolded me for shooting myself in the foot, saying I almost killed myself instead of trying to hit someone.
I became the target of everyone's criticism.
The incident involving Makino's competition was also brought to light.
Even just the day before yesterday, he was praised by the entire internet for his singing skills and songwriting talent.
Now, even if the PR department of Shengshi helps me suppress the trending topics, deleting and closing posts won't work. The more they delete, the more it shows that I'm guilty, which is a counter-evidence that this matter is true.
I wanted to call the police and let them investigate, but my brakes didn't fail, my dashcam wasn't on, and there was no evidence to prove my innocence.
It was Shi Xia who rushed out and blocked my way. I swerved to avoid her and got injured myself. Now, I'm the one who attempted to cause an accident and am reaping what I sowed.
Where can I reason with them?
I kicked open the door to Shi Xia's hospital room.
At that moment, she was sitting on her hospital bed eating fruit and scrolling through her phone, which was playing that video.
When she saw me, the smile on her lips froze.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing me approaching her aggressively, she stammered, involuntarily shrinking back.
She was wearing the hospital's oversized patient gown, which made her figure appear even smaller and thinner. Her face was bare and somewhat pale.
Without thinking twice, I grabbed her collar, endured the sharp pain, raised my hand, and slapped her face several times!
In my past life, she entered my room and asked me to step aside, but I never hit her like that.
Because I know that the root of the problem lies with Fu Yanshen.
But this life is different!
This scheming bitch has bitten me more than once or twice. Before, she only bit me in front of Fu Yanshen, but now, it's become known all over the internet.
I simply cannot swallow this insult!
Shi Xia was stunned by my punch. Her originally pale face was now flushed red, and her eyes were watery, making her look pitiful.
"Stop pretending in front of me, you son of a bitch!"
The more she acts like this, the more I think about her two-faced true nature, the more I want to hit her.
With that thought in mind, I raised my hand again.
"Sheng Qiaoqiao!"
At that moment, a gloomy and cold male voice rang out from behind me, and my wrist was gripped tightly, the bones almost crushed.
Ha, I know who's behind me without even turning around.
