Jiang Wenbo looked at Chen Jiayi sitting in the car in surprise.
"Hello, Ms. Chen."
Chen Jiayi thought for a while before she remembered who the other person was.
She gave an awkward smile, and Ah Long called out her name in surprise.
"Wenbo? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Wenbo worked as Chen Qiming's assistant for a while, but returned home due to his father's health issues.
Upon seeing Ah Long, Jiang Wenbo remained indifferent.
"Ah Long, did you know the car in front was mine, so you deliberately bumped into it?"
The moment his car was hit and sent flying, Jiang Wenbo felt like he couldn't breathe.
I stormed out of the car, already deciding which new car to get. But then I realized it was someone I knew…
Ah Long opened the car door and got out, then awkwardly put his hand on Jiang Wenbo's shoulder.
"Sorry, brother! I didn't know the car in front was yours. If it had been an emergency, I would have had to step on the gas."
Chen Jiayi slowly got out of the car. She looked at the overturned pickup truck not far away and felt a little puzzled.
Ah Long exchanged a few words with Jiang Wenbo, then told Chen Jiayi to call a car back first, and he would handle things here.
Chen Jiayi frowned slightly. She glanced at the pickup truck and felt that something was wrong.
She took a taxi and left the scene to go home.
…
The weather today is exceptionally gloomy and muggy.
Chen Jiayi looked up at the sky and felt that it was going to rain.
She couldn't help but recall that in Lianhua Town, people would usually bring their vegetables back down from the stalls when it was about to rain.
The aunt next door would grumble and complain, and after she finished packing up her own stall, she would go and help the aunt next door pack up hers.
Come to think of it, the most kindness she received came from her neighbors.
"Miss, we've arrived."
Hearing the driver's voice, Chen Jiayi came back to her senses.
She took out her money to pay, smiled, and said, "Thank you."
When Chen Jiayi arrived home, the house was empty.
She went upstairs to look for her, but found that even Aunt Wang was not there.
"strangeness."
Why is no one home?
Chen Jiayi was just about to go downstairs to get a glass of water when Aunt Wang opened the door and came in.
When she saw Aunt Wang, she quickly asked.
"Aunt Wang, where's my mom? Where are my grandparents?"
Wang Shuting hesitated, "Miss, they... are at the hospital."
Chen Jiayi was surprised to hear this.
"What? What happened?"
Wang Shuting sighed, "Just an hour ago, my husband was in a car accident and is in the hospital now."
Chen Jiayi frowned slightly. "Which hospital? I'll go take a look."
Wang Shuting told Chen Jiayi the address, and she rushed to the hospital.
Chen Jiayi wandered around the hospital before finally finding her father's ward.
When she arrived at the ward door, panting, she saw Lan Meixuan looking exhausted, with her grandmother silently comforting her by supporting her shoulders.
Although my grandfather's face was expressionless, there was worry in his eyes.
Chen Jiayi couldn't help but call out, "Mom, Grandpa and Grandma."
Upon hearing Chen Jiayi's voice, the group turned around simultaneously.
Upon seeing Chen Jiayi, they exclaimed in surprise, "Jiayi, what brings you here?"
"Yes, why are you alone? Where's Ah Long?"
Lan Meixuan and Jin Yalin each said something, and Chen Jiayi smiled shyly.
"Mom, I heard from Aunt Wang that Dad was in a car accident. I was worried about him, so I came to check on him."
Lan Meixuan frowned. "Your dad's car accident isn't a big deal. You've been studying all day, you must be tired. Go home and rest, and bring your grandparents back with you too."
Lan Yuanbo gave a cold snort, his tone solemn and forceful.
"I'm not going back. I want to see who dares to touch my son-in-law, Lan Yuanbo!"
Although the old man is advanced in years, he is very energetic.
When his aged eyes were angry, an aura of power emanated from them without him even showing anger.
Realizing there was something wrong with her father's car accident, Chen Jiayi hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to tell them that she had also been in a car accident.
The group waited outside for a while, and soon the nurse wheeled Chen Qiming out.
The nurse said gently, "The patient's leg injury has been treated; the next step is to clean the wound."
Chen Jiayi nodded quickly. "Nurse, is my dad alright?"
The nurse smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a minor car accident. Mr. Chen is very lucky; he's perfectly fine."
After the nurse finished speaking, she led them to the VIP ward.
Chen Qiming was surprised to see his daughter there. A warmth spread through his heart, and he gave a gentle smile.
"Jiayi, what brings you here?"
Chen Jiayi walked up to Chen Qiming, looked him up and down, and noticed that only his leg was injured. Her brows furrowed deeply.
"Dad, what happened? How did you hurt your leg?"
Chen Qiming quickly reached out and smoothed the furrow between Chen Jiayi's brows.
"Girls shouldn't always frown, it can easily cause frown lines, which won't look good."
Seeing that Chen Qiming was weak but still had the strength to talk to his daughter, the family felt much relieved!
Chen Jiayi pouted, "Dad, you haven't answered my question yet."
Chen Qiming's smile faded slightly as he gripped the sides of the chair with both hands.
"I suspect the Lin family did it! I suppressed the Lin family's business association some time ago, so they're retaliating. But..."
Chen Qiming paused, his tone hesitant.
"Now that the Lin family has apologized to the higher-ups, they won't do one thing to your face and another behind your back."
Lan Yuanbo snorted coldly, "Isn't it because you've made too many enemies!"
