Chapter 424 Meeting the Future Daughter-in-law
The taxi gradually drove into the rainy area, and the driver asked Shen Zhichu behind him: "It's raining heavily today, I'll close the window."
Shen Zhichu leaned against the door and came back to her senses when she heard the driver's voice. She looked at the rainy day outside and the cold wind blew into the car.
I didn't feel cold before I noticed it, but now I see the trees outside being blown here and there by the wind, and the wind blowing from a distance makes a "woooo" sound, like a mournful sound.
Shen Zhichu hugged his arm and rubbed it for a while. His lips had lost their color, not sure if it was from the cold or fear.
"We're almost there. Do you know where we're going?"
It was a waste of time to go to every hospital looking for the patient. Shen Zhichu only regretted not asking for Bai Qiujing's agent's phone number, nor taking the initiative to find out about his family situation. If she knew his parents, she wouldn't be going around in circles.
There was news about Bai Qiujing on the Internet a while ago, but now I can't find any information about him no matter how hard I search. After learning about the situation in his family, I realized that it must have been done by his family members.
Shen Zhichu pursed her slightly cold lips and tasted a faint smell of blood in her mouth. She held the phone tightly, and her hands were shaking because she was holding it too tightly, and her knuckles were turning white. Finally, she took a deep breath, unlocked the phone screen, opened the phone book and turned to Zhao Qian's number.
Zhao Qian was surprised to receive another call from Shen Zhichu, and his tone couldn't hide his surprise: "Ms. Shen?"
"It's me. Do you know where Bai Qiujing is?"
"How do I know where Young Master Bai is?" Zhao Qian paused. Shen Zhichu would not ask about Bai Qiujing for no reason. He answered the phone while surfing the Internet. Without even searching, the news of Bai Qiujing's car accident popped up automatically. However, he only knew about the accident but not the accident site, let alone his current condition and which hospital he was in.
"Miss Shen, I don't know where Young Master Bai is, but President Li must know. He went to the Bai family as a guest today and met with the Bai family. Why don't you try calling her?"
As soon as Shen Zhichu heard the three words "Li Jingshen", she retreated. She had died once, so she naturally kept her distance from this person. For her, the current situation was good enough. They didn't bother each other and went their separate ways.
But God didn't seem to want her to do what she wanted.
"You should have the Bai family's phone number, right?" Shen Zhichu asked tentatively.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I don't have the Bai family's phone number, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. You should know that these numbers shouldn't be given to outsiders." Zhao Qian explained and then asked, "Why don't you call Mr. Li directly? Since you're so worried about Mr. Bai, he shouldn't mind."
"I see. Send me Li Jingshen's phone number. I don't have it."
Zhao Qian replied to Shen Zhichu while sending a text message: "Mr. Li's phone number has never changed."
When Shen Zhichu received a text message on her mobile phone, she clicked it and saw a familiar number. She used to stare at it every day and dial it. Later, she was hung up on more and more times. Every time she entered the number, she would press the key again. She went from being full of expectations at the beginning to being depressed and disappointed.
Now when I see this familiar number, my heart is as calm as water, and there will be no more waves.
Shen Zhichu hung up the call with Zhao Qian and called the number.
The phone was connected, and Li Jingshen's voice came from the other end. He was as surprised as Zhao Qian, but more delighted.
"Zhi Chu, do you... have something to talk to me about?" He probably never thought that one day she would call him on her own initiative.
"Zhao Qian said you went to the Bai family today. Now Qiu Jing was in a car accident. Do you know where he is?"
My boiling heart felt like a piece of ice was thrown into it, and after a crackling sound, it gradually calmed down.
Li Jingshen choked up: "So... you called me just because of him?"
Qiu Jing called him so intimately. When Bai Qiu Jing said that he had had sex with Shen Zhichu, he was still skeptical, but now that he heard Shen Zhichu took the initiative to call him to find out the news, he began to believe it.
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't call you. If you know, tell me. If you don't know and don't want to tell me, then I'll hang up."
“What if I don’t know you?”
Shen Zhichu didn't care about his feelings at all. He stood up with his thorns all over his body to fight against him. Knowing that he would be hurt, he wanted to stab him all over.
"I will go to each hospital, asking and checking until I find him."
"Besides him, don't you have anything else to say to me, Chen Zhichu?"
"We've already said everything we need to say in our past life. We have nothing to say now. Li Jingshen, I don't want to waste time. Tell me where Qiu Jing is."
Every time she mentioned "Bai Qiujing", it was like stabbing him in the heart. It was clearly his lungs that were ill, but his heart was in so much pain.
"He's at the Central Hospital in Area C, on the eighth floor of the Second Orthopedics Department."
After the words fell, Shen Zhichu hung up the phone directly.
The car slowly stopped, and Shen Zhichu said to the driver. "Master, District C Central Hospital, hurry!"
"Okay, I'll go to the front and turn around."
Shen Zhichu also turned on the navigation. It would take twenty minutes to get there at normal speed. If there was no traffic jam or red light, it would only take fifteen minutes.
I don’t know if God heard her prayers, but the car didn’t stop along the way and arrived at the hospital smoothly. Shen Zhichu paid the fare online, got off the car and went straight to the hospital.
She was wearing a theatrical costume and ancient attire, looking like a female knight in red.
When they rushed into the hospital, no one reacted. Shen Zhichu rushed directly to the elevator and went up to the eighth floor. The hospital was very large. Li Jingshen only told her that the second department of orthopedics was on the eighth floor but did not tell him the specific ward number. She could only visit each room one by one.
The eighth floor was full of single rooms. A young nurse saw her on the way and said, "You...are you Shen Zhichu? Oh my god, I actually saw Shen Zhichu. Today I not only saw Lao Bai but also Chuchu!"
As soon as Shen Zhichu heard her mention Bai Qiujing, he immediately asked, "I'm here to see Bai Qiujing. Do you know which ward he is in?"
The young nurse nodded quickly, her eyes seemed to be brightened by fire, and she stared at Shen Zhichu with her round eyes: "I know! I'll take you there right away!"
Following the nurse, we soon arrived at the ward. The nurse whispered, "This is it. Come in."
"Thanks."
The door of the ward was half-open, and voices could be heard coming from inside. There was more than one person, probably Bai Qiujing's parents.
Shen Zhichu wanted to fly here all the way, but when she got to the door, she stopped and didn't dare to go in. She stood at the door, hesitating. The young nurse was called away, and before leaving, she said to her, "Come on!"
Seeing the young nurse so relaxed, Bai Qiujing thought that nothing should be a problem, so she knocked on the door.
There was a knock on the door, and a man came to open it. He looked to be in his forties, very young, and his facial features were very similar to Bai Qiujing's father. It was obvious that they were carved from the same mold.
Father Bai frowned: "It's you?"
Shen Zhichu didn't think much about it, "Hello uncle, I'm Qiu Jing's friend."
"How did you know he was here?"
"I asked someone."
Bai's father wanted to continue asking, but Bai's mother came over and said, "Isn't this..." She stopped talking. She never asked much about her son's private affairs, but she followed his Weibo every day to learn about his online news. Naturally, she knew the relationship between Bai Qiujing and Shen Zhichu.
There were still traces of tears on Bai's mother's face, but her expression softened a lot after seeing Shen Zhichu.
"Miss Shen, you are here to see Qiu Jing, come in quickly." Bai's mother pulled Bai's father aside, making room for Shen Zhichu to come in.
"Thank you, Aunt Li."
Shen Zhichu didn't expect that her meeting with Bai Qiujing's parents would happen under such circumstances. The ward was spacious and well-ventilated, but the smell of medicine lingered in the air.
Bai Qiujing was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. His arm was wrapped in gauze and exposed outside, with a needle inserted in it and medicine injected into it.
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
"The doctor said he had a concussion and woke up after a short sleep."
Fortunately, Bai Qiujing was in the inside lane at that time. He turned the steering wheel quickly and fell into the ditch. The airbag popped out in time. Although he was unconscious, he was not seriously injured. He only had a few small cuts on his forehead from the windshield, and the blood was washed away by the rain.
The driver who accidentally turned on the high beam did not run away out of fear. Instead, he called the police and an ambulance and sent Bai Qiujing to the hospital. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous if it was too late.
Shen Zhichu carefully looked at Bai Qiujing from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was only slightly injured. The stone in his heart finally fell, but then the atmosphere became awkward.
Shen Zhichu was not good at being polite with elders, and Bai Qiujing's parents had special status, so Shen Zhichu stood at the head of the bed, sometimes looking down at the back of Bai Qiujing's hand, and sometimes looking out the window to pass the time.
Bai's mother moved a chair next to Shen Zhichu: "Sit down for a while."
"Thank you." Shen Zhichu lowered his head.
Bai's mother looked Shen Zhichu up and down. She couldn't say whether she was good or bad. The key point was that she had never known this person. The only impression she had was that she was beautiful, even more beautiful than the one in the camera.
When Bai's mother first paid attention to Shen Zhichu, she had a lot of negative information about her and didn't have a very good impression of her.
Later, I watched the show "Actors Arrive" and was amazed by her outstanding acting skills.
Later, rumors about Bai Qiujing and her appeared on the Internet, and Bai's mother's impression of her became negative again. She thought that she was just like other popular female celebrities who liked to tie others up to spread rumors.
What really changed her impression of her was that Shen Zhichu could always suddenly slap her in the face when her opinion of her was declining, saving her from danger and escaping every desperate situation.
Bai Qiujing believed in her from the beginning to the end. She had no reason not to believe in someone her own son could trust.
You have to know that Bai Qiujing was very indifferent to everything and had little emotion after waking up. This was the first time he took the initiative to approach a girl.
Bai Qiujing is not young anymore, he is in his thirties. Although he looks like he is in his twenties, it is time for him to get married given his age.
Bai's mother was originally worried that Bai Qiujing would not be able to find a partner.
In his eyes, there is only a difference between humans and animals. It is impossible for a woman to evoke even a little bit of sympathy from him.
His co-stars in the three films he made were all men. Bai's mother would watch them when she had nothing to do. The more she watched, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but wonder if Bai Qiujing had the wrong sexual orientation and was naturally not interested in women and liked men?
Fortunately, Shen Zhichu's appearance made her give up this idea. She had originally started planning to order two suits for Bai Qiujing's future wedding...
Bai's mother asked tentatively, "What is your relationship with Qiu Jing?"
"We are friends."
It turns out that I haven’t caught up yet.
Hearing the word "friend", Mr. Bai couldn't help but sneer. He had seen many such "playing hard to get" tricks using friends as an excuse.
His son-in-law has clearly expressed his feelings on Weibo, but she still treats him as a friend. Is there any pure boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in this world?
Bai's mother glared at him, and Bai's father stepped back consciously: "I'm going to the bathroom, you two can talk slowly."
What the woman says is none of his business, he should just leave.
This is quite conscious.
As soon as the man left, Bai's mother asked again, "Are we just friends?"
Shen Zhichu nodded.
"What do you think of Qiu Jing?"
“He’s exceptionally good.”
Bai's mother had different ideas from Bai's father. When Shen Zhichu replied implicitly that they were just "friends", she guessed that Bai Qiujing had not caught up with the person yet.
Every mother who truly loves her child will think that her child is excellent. Even if she doesn't say it, she agrees in her heart.
In Bai's mother's eyes, Bai Qiujing is absolutely outstanding. Putting aside his family background, just look at his appearance, and the career, fame and influence he has created. It can be seen that Shen Zhichu is extraordinary for rejecting Bai Qiujing's pursuit, but there is still hope. Seeing her running to the hospital with a nervous look on her face, her son will definitely be able to catch up with his daughter-in-law!
