It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or muscle injury.
After resting in the hospital for a period of time, Xi Ran was able to go home to recuperate on the advice of her doctor.
Yu Xuehui and Chu Wentao had discussed it. There was no one in her family who could take care of her, and she couldn't trust her own son.
After all, he can't even cook, how could he possibly take good care of Xi Ran?
After much hesitation, they brought Xi Ran back to the Chu family to recuperate, since the Chu family had many members and it would be convenient to take care of her.
Xi Ran looked at her legs, which were wrapped around her like a mummy, and had no choice but to give in.
Although she believed that Chu Jiang could take good care of her, she didn't want to eat takeout every day.
Chu Jiang's inability to cook is a weakness; if she goes back to her rented apartment, she'll have to eat takeout for three months.
Yu Xuehui helped pack the luggage, and Chu Jiang also went to complete the discharge procedures.
Just then, the phone rang. Chu Jiang, who was paying the bill, also looked at the caller ID impatiently.
Chu Jiang saw the familiar number on the phone and sneered inwardly, but still answered it.
"Speak your mind, or shut up. I don't have time to waste with you. Thanks to you, I have to take care of Xi Ran now."
The person opposite him was speechless, and in order to avoid going to jail, he could only grit his teeth and let Chu Jiangyi vent his anger.
After all, she was in the wrong first, so she has to tolerate it no matter how others treat her.
The police said that as long as the person involved doesn't pursue the matter, she can avoid jail time.
If the person involved pursues the matter, they will inevitably go to jail.
"I...I...Could I talk to Xi Ran? I really didn't hit her on purpose. I can offer her appropriate compensation and hope she'll drop the charges..."
Chu Jiang also sneered, "Don't even think about it, it's impossible. You can just wait to rot in jail. How dare you say you didn't intentionally bump into Xi Ran? Doesn't your heart hurt when you say that? Aren't you guilty?"
Chu Jiang recounted the events, questioning him one by one.
"Xi Ran had already walked to the front of the Chu family's gate, close to the outer courtyard, and you still managed to bump into her without any mishap. Do you think anyone would believe you if you said it wasn't intentional?"
"Also, I forgot to tell you something. There are security cameras at the Chu family's gate. The footage shows that your car was parked on the side of the road when you suddenly saw the target, stepped on the gas, and crashed into him. Do you want me to provide the footage? If I hadn't discovered it in time, Xi Ran would have been dead long ago."
“Premeditated murder and intentional assault are not grounds for reconciliation. Forget about it. If you have any questions, please speak with my lawyer.”
Chu Jiang hung up the phone immediately and added the woman to his blacklist. It was unbelievable that he still had her number.
Perhaps they forgot!
In the evening, Li Xiuming called and told Chu Jiang about the other party's request.
"The other party is willing to offer all of their assets in hopes that Ms. Xi Ran will withdraw the lawsuit. I have checked, and Sun Qing's divorce assets are substantial. Jiang Yi, what are your thoughts?"
Chu Jiang also sneered, "I will not accept any reconciliation. From now on, you are in charge of matters concerning Sun Qing. Don't come to me. Just hearing her name gives me a headache."
"What I want is for her to go to jail, to refuse any mediation, and Xi Ran doesn't care about her divorce property."
Li Xiuming sighed, "But Miss Xi Ran's life wasn't in danger. Even if she sues Sun Qing, the sentence wouldn't be many years. From our perspective as lawyers, I think compensation is more worthwhile."
"The Chu family doesn't care about a few melons and dates."
Li Xiuming was a little troubled. "Should we ask Miss Xi what she thinks?"
"No need! Her meaning represents my meaning."
"I know what to do!"
"Then I'll leave the rest to Uncle Li."
"good!"
Chu Jiang also hung up the phone, his eyes filled with coldness.
No matter how long Sun Qing is imprisoned, she must be sent there. If she isn't taught a lesson, who knows what even more terrifying things she might do next time.
He made a mistake once, but he won't make the same mistake twice. He can't let Xi Ran face danger a second time.
His heart couldn't bear that kind of torment a second time.
Then, smiling, she went to the kitchen and asked, "Aunt Zhang, is your soup ready?"
"It's ready. Take it to Ranran. That child has suffered a lot this time and needs to be well nourished."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"
"Don't be so polite with me. I've been staying up late, so you should take good care of yourself. You've been taking care of Ranran all day, and you've worked hard too."
"It's not hard work! Taking care of my girlfriend is what I should do as a boyfriend."
Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled, "You'll be a loving husband in the future."
"Of course, I look up to Old Chu; he's my role model."
Aunt Zhang nodded, "Children are the best teachers for their parents. It's true. Wentao and Xuehui have been loving for a lifetime. That's how life is. They're always arguing and bickering. It's a headache to listen to them."
"Great minds think alike!"
Aunt Zhang sighed, "Oh! If only my son and daughter-in-law were as harmonious as you two. Look at me... I'm just saying all this nonsense and making you upset. Hurry up and bring the soup to Ranran. She must be hungry. Take the soup up to her to fill her stomach first, and then come down to get the main meal in half an hour. I've put your and Ranran's meals together."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, you are so kind and understanding."
"Of course, of course!"
Aunt Zhang burst into laughter at Chu Jiangyi's antics.
"Be careful! Don't get burned!"
"knew!"
Chu Jiangyi carefully carried the soup up to the third floor and saw Chu Jiangning coming out from the opposite side.
Seeing her brother's overly attentive manner, Chu Jiangning couldn't bear to look and kept teasing him.
"Do you have to be so attentive? You're practically feeding her. Anyone would think you're taking care of your wife who's in postpartum confinement."
