The ambulance arrived quickly, and as she was being carried on a stretcher, she heard the traffic police ask the man holding the umbrella for her, "Do you know the person responsible for the accident?"
"I know him."
"And the injured?"
“I don’t know him.”
She fell into a deep sleep, and in her hazy consciousness, she seemed to hear the conversation between the doctors and nurses.
"Severe blood loss..."
"The tibia is broken and the soft tissue of the joint is seriously injured."
"Anesthesiologist, get ready!"
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying alone on the hospital bed. The anesthetic effect had not yet worn off. She couldn't help wanting to vomit, but her dry stomach couldn't vomit anything out.
Later, the patient's family saw that she was in pain and called a nurse over for her.
The nurse changed a bottle of medicine for her. She seemed to know that she had no one to accompany her, and she also specifically told her to ring the bell to call them if anything happened. Then Hua Jin waited for the traffic accident lawyer to bring the traffic apology letter.
The attorney saw Hua Jin, who was dark and thin, lying on the hospital bed. He sat beside her bed and told her a lot of interests. He said that she was a powerless outsider and if she really offended these rich people, she would not have a good ending.
"You are still young, so you should just put up with some things." The attorney showed some reluctance on his face. "Last night a kind-hearted passerby called the police. If you don't sign this letter of apology, the perpetrator will indeed be punished by law, but when he gets out, you..."
"Is the kind passerby surnamed Pei?" Hua Jin interrupted the attorney and looked at him with burning eyes, "Is he?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just the client's attorney. I don't know much about people who have nothing to do with this case." The attorney sighed, "No matter who the kind passerby is, he has already called the police for you and paid for your medical expenses. Do you still want to involve him in these things?"
"I know." Hua Jin's expression gradually calmed down. She was a helpless duckweed, how could she fight against the strong wind and huge waves? "As long as you are willing to help me pay back the medical expenses to the kind passers-by, and pay for the subsequent medical expenses, I will... sign."
After signing her name on the letter of understanding, Hua Jin closed her eyes and said, "You can go now."
"I'm sorry, this is a little gift from me, you keep it." The attorney sighed, bent down and put something down beside her pillow, then turned and left. She opened her eyes, looked at the bright red bills, clenched her teeth, and didn't let herself cry out.
Then he slowly reached out and held the money tightly.
She will not die. She wants to live well, even if it means bowing down to her will.
Being stared at by Hua Jin's dark eyes, Xu Changhui couldn't help but take a step back: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are close to Pei Yan."
"When Mr. Xu hit me and tried to crush me to death, wasn't he just doing whatever he wanted?" Hua Jin tilted his head. "Why, are you, Xu, born superior to others?"
Repeated crushing?
Xu Changhui liked to play with cars, and he had been in car accidents more than once or twice. How could he really remember which car accident Hua Jin was the victim of? But Hua Jin mentioned that she had been run over twice in front of him, and it was six or seven years ago, so he finally had an impression.
He had a deep impression of this incident, not because he felt guilty towards the victim, but because he had the bad luck to meet Pei Yan that time. Pei Yan had a bad temper and not only knocked his car away on the spot, but also called the police, causing him to be detained in the detention center for more than half a month before being released. Later, Pei Yan even distanced himself from the Xu family. When someone privately asked him the reason, Pei Yan actually said, "He doesn't associate with people with bad character and bad family education."
Recalling this past event, Xu Changhui's expression changed: "It's you?!"
Xu Si told him that Hua Jin was with Pei Yan to avenge him. Now he suddenly understood that Hua Jin was not doing it for revenge, but probably to repay a favor.
If Pei Yan hadn't used his car to ram his car, Hua Jin would have died. If Pei Yan hadn't been nosy and reported him for hit-and-run, as long as Hua Jin signed a letter of apology, he wouldn't have been put in the detention center.
"Mr. Xu, with his peanut-sized head, finally remembered this old story?" Hua Jin applauded. "That's really cause for celebration."
After she signed the letter of apology, the perpetrator never arranged for anyone to show up again. However, the attorney sent her fruit supplements several times.
"I wonder if Mr. Pei has seen Miss Hua's aggressive look?" Xu Si saw Xu Changhui's face suddenly turn pale, thinking that he was intimidated by Hua Jin, so he stood in front of Xu Changhui and said, "Leave a way for everything so that we can meet again in the future. Mr. Pei already knows that the person you love is not him. If you continue to be so arrogant, even if he really loves you deeply, he will be worn out by you. When that time comes, how will you deal with it?"
"What did you say?" Hua Jin turned to look at Xu Si, "Say it again."
Frightened by the murderous look in Hua Jin's eyes, Xu Si took a step back and secretly grabbed Xu Changhui's clothes from behind, "I said, Mr. Pei already knows... the person you love is not him at all." She was a little scared. The look in Hua Jin's eyes looked as if he wanted to cut her into pieces and tear her apart alive.
But Hua Jin did not move. She stared at Xu Si for a long time and said in a hoarse voice: "There is really no good person in your Xu family."
"How are you better than me?" Xu Si retorted, "You deceived other people's feelings..."
"Don't say anything." Xu Changhui grabbed Xu Si's arm, "Go back."
"Changhui?" Xu Si looked at Xu Changhui in confusion. With his personality, he should not be able to tolerate Hua Jin, so why did he stop her and not let her continue speaking?
"Don't ask yet." Xu Changhui glanced at Hua Jin and picked up the check on the ground. "Miss Hua, as long as you are willing to set a condition, I am willing to meet you."
"Okay." Hua Jin sneered, "Pick a rainy day and let me hit you with my car. If you're lucky and don't die, we'll be even."
"Hua Jin!" Xu Si regretted provoking this crazy woman. Not only was she crazy, but Pei Yan, who liked her, also went crazy with her.
"If you don't want to, forget it." Hua Jin pointed to the door, "Go away, I don't want to waste time talking to you."
"Can you feel at ease if you take advantage of other people's feelings?" Xu Si knew that there was no other way except to play the emotional card.
"Don't pretend to be a messenger of justice in front of me. Get out!" Hua Jin pushed Xu Si out, "Get out!"
With the help of Xu Changhui, Xu Si managed to stand steadily, turned around and saw Pei Yan standing not far away.
"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei." When did he come, how much did he hear, and whether he would go crazy again.
Hearing the words "Mr. Pei", Hua Jin was stunned. She turned to look at Pei Yan who had appeared out of nowhere. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Xu Si wanted to say something, but Xu Changhui covered her mouth with his hand, dragged her and forced her into the car.
"What are you doing? Why don't you take advantage of their conflict to sow discord among them? Are you really waiting for Hua Jin to whisper in their ear and let Pei Yan deal with us?" Xu Si was desperate about Xu Changhui's stupid brain.
"What the hell are you trying to instigate!" Xu Changhui yelled at Xu Si in frustration, "It was Pei Yan who saved Hua Jin back then!"
"What did you say?" Xu Si was stunned. "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
"She is just so lucky, just accept her fate." Xu Changhui's eyes showed a bit of cruelty, "She should have been killed in the first place."
Xu Si calmed down. She looked up at the entrance of Fanhua. Hua Jin and Pei Yan were facing each other a few steps apart. Her teeth were chattering. She knew how scary Pei Yan could be when he went crazy.
If Pei Yan figured out all the causes and consequences of the matter, the entire Xu family would be finished.
"Changhui, leave now and go abroad." Xu Si's face turned pale, "Don't come back before Pei Yan and Hua Jin break up."
"What's the meaning?"
"According to my guess, Pei Yan doesn't know that the victim he rescued back then was Hua Jin, nor does he know that the most important person Hua Jin mentioned is him. If he knew the whole story, you'd be done for."
Pei Yan didn't know Hua Jin back then, but he reported him to the police because he couldn't stand him hitting and running. If he knew now that the person was Hua Jin, then he...
"You said you were the same, so why did you bother telling Pei Yan about those old stories?" Xu Changhui complained to Xu Si, "If you hadn't said it, maybe things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"How would I know that the man in Hua Jin's essay is Pei Yan? How could you be so cruel as to want to kill Hua Jin?" Xu Si was unhappy. "If you have the energy to blame me, why don't you think about which country to seek refuge in."
Xu Si gritted his teeth in hatred, but for a moment, he didn't know whether to hate himself, Xu Changhui or Hua Jin.
Are there really such coincidences and fate in this world?
Pei Yan ignored the Xu cousins who left in a hurry. He walked up to Hua Jin who looked dazed and asked, "It's hot outside. Are you standing at the door to experience the alternating hot and cold?"
Hua Jin looked at him without saying anything.
Pei Yan held her hand, pulled her into the house, and closed the door to prevent the cold air from escaping: "Next time you encounter something like this, call me and let me handle it. Even if you are good at talking, if Xu Changhui fights you, you will still be the one who suffers."
"Why are you here?" Hua Jin looked up at him, his voice a little hoarse.
"I heard that the old man from the Xu family came to see you, so I came to see you." Pei Yan was very familiar with Hua Jin's shop. He remembered clearly where the tea leaves were and where Hua Jin's cup was. He made a cup of tea for Hua Jin and put it in front of her. "You see in Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong fought monsters, he beat the younger ones and the older ones, and when he beat the older ones, the younger ones came. I'm not afraid that you will suffer a loss, right?"
Hua Jin held the cup and smiled softly: "With you as my golden thigh, the Xu family dare not mess with me."
"It's an honor for me as a golden thigh." Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hua Jin laughing, "Is Tan Yuan not here today?"
"Well, she was sick today, so I asked her to go back and rest."
"Then I'll run the store with you. Leave the sweeping, mopping and collecting to me."
"Pei Yan, you heard what Xu Si said just now." Hua Jin curled up in the sofa, holding a teacup and looking up at him.
The smile on Pei Yan's face froze, and he looked away: "I didn't hear it."
"Maybe Xu Si is right. I shouldn't have done that before..."
"I don't care who you liked before!" Pei Yan interrupted Hua Jin, his tone a little anxious, "I don't care what grudges you have with Xu Changhui, no matter who has occupied an important position in your heart, I only know that I am your boyfriend now, and you are my girlfriend."
Pei Yan squatted in front of Hua Jin, his eyelids trembling slightly: "I only remember you saying that I'm the person you love most and the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. You don't like Xu Changhui or Xu Si, I will help you. But... I don't want to hear about your past, and I'm not interested in it."
Hearing this proud person speaking such words to her, Hua Jin wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She wanted to curl the corners of her mouth, but found that she was already in tears.
Pei Yan held Hua Jin's hand holding the cup, "The future is so long, so far, I can accompany you through the four seasons, eat delicious food with you, and go to all the places you want to go with you. Let go of that person and only love me, okay?"
"Are you a fool?" Hua Jin burst into tears. The water in the teacup splashed her and Pei Yan's hands. She threw the cup away, hugged Pei Yan's neck with her backhand, and patted his shoulders while crying, "Are you a pig? Are you a pig? How can you be so stupid?"
"Love makes people stupid. How much do you think I love you to become so stupid?" Pei Yan hugged Hua Jin in his arms and kissed the top of her head. "So you have to be responsible for my IQ and stay with me for the rest of my life."
"I'm sorry, even though you don't want to hear it, I still want to tell you that person's story." Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were already raised. Hua Jin wanted to make herself smile as beautifully as possible, "He is the warmest and best light in my dark life."
Hearing this, Pei Yan's heart sank little by little. He hugged Hua Jin tightly, as if he could hold on to this empty relationship.
"When I first met him, I was not even 18 years old. It was clearly my fault, but he yelled at me fiercely. He wanted to stay and pay compensation even though he made a mistake. I couldn't afford it, and he knew I couldn't afford it, so he didn't make it difficult for me at all."
"The second time I met him was on a very cold night. When I thought I could not escape the fate of being bullied, he showed up. He threw his coat on me, sat with me on the cold flower bed and said: I thought it was a ghost, but it turned out to be a person." At this point, Hua Jin cried and laughed. She wiped the tears from her face. "His eyes are beautiful, very, very beautiful, like the brightest star in the sky. When he smiles, it can light up the heart."
Pei Yan suddenly remembered that Hua Jin had once praised his beautiful eyes. He touched the corners of his eyes and smiled bitterly. He never expected that the woman he fell in love with was just treating him as a substitute for another man.
"The third time I met him was when I was the most desperate and helpless. He came like a hero, helped me drive away the evil dragon, and held up an umbrella for me to protect me from the wind and rain." Hua Jin left Pei Yan's arms and met Pei Yan's eyes. "But at that time, I was embarrassed and incompetent. I didn't even have the courage to reach out and touch him. He was so good, so dazzling, and how could I, who was so ordinary, be qualified to get close to him?"
Reaching out her hands and gently touching his cheeks, Hua Jin found that her hands were shaking badly: "After I learned embroidery, I embroidered a tie for him. Inside the tie were all my blessings for him. But I knew that it was a tie that I could never give away."
"Just like him and I, we are in different worlds and will never intersect."
"I secretly embroidered a tie, a lucky bag, and a handkerchief for him. Every year on his birthday, I would embroider a gift for him and then make a wish to the koi, hoping that he would live a peaceful life, have a good partner by his side, and be free from worries." The smile on Hua Jin's lips grew bigger and bigger, and tears blurred her vision. She felt that she must be very ugly now, but so happy.
"I have nothing to give him except the hope that he will be well." Hua Jin smiled, "But God has mercy on me. He made me meet him again after twenty years of misfortune."
“Even though he doesn’t know who I am, doesn’t know how much I owe him, and doesn’t know…” Hua Jin approached Pei Yan and kissed him gently on the corner of his lips.
This kiss has a slight salty taste, which is the taste of tears.
"He doesn't know how much I love him."
