Xing Baohua felt aches all over his body and looked up at the girl. His large suitcase had fallen to the ground, and the girl was covering her mouth, looking at him as if in shock.
I slowly felt my eyelids getting heavy, and before I closed them, I heard a series of hurried footsteps.
When Xing Baohua opened her eyes again, she felt a burning pain in half of her arm.
The surrounding white walls and the pungent smell of formaldehyde made Xing Baohua feel like she was in a hospital.
Suddenly, a sharp, needle-like headache made him close his eyes tightly again. Only after the pain subsided did he slowly open his eyes.
"Didn't I put it back on?" Xing Baohua thought to himself.
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was neither the unfamiliar beautiful woman nor my lover Su Ya, and there were no doctors or nurses either.
It was only Niu Jishan and his relative.
"Hua Zi, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Niu Jishan stepped forward and asked as he approached the bedside.
"How did I get here? Has a doctor seen me? What did they say?" Xing Baohua asked, now truly regretting his recklessness and drinking and driving. Now look what's happened, he's really gotten himself into trouble.
"We carried you here because it's close to the factory. The doctor examined you last night. The external injuries are nothing serious."
Xing Baohua had just breathed a sigh of relief when Niu Jishan continued, "The doctor said that in hot weather, skin wounds are prone to infection, so he used a bottle of alcohol to disinfect them for you?"
Xing Baohua blinked, not reacting for a moment.
"The doctor said you drank too much and your nerves are numb. Alcohol is the most effective treatment now, otherwise it will hurt a lot. Do you still feel pain?" After saying that, Niu Jishan looked at Xing Baohua's exposed wounds and bandages.
Xing Baohua was already cursing inwardly, "What grudge do you have against me! You even used alcohol, do you think my blood alcohol content isn't high enough?"
Fortunately, I passed out, so I didn't feel the stinging sensation of the alcohol on my wound.
“You shouldn’t have driven after drinking so much. Luckily, I heard your car from far away at the factory gate, so I went to check if it was you. And when I did, oh my god! You know what? You almost hit someone. If the person hadn’t dodged quickly, you wouldn’t be the only one lying there right now,” Niu Jishan said.
Xing Baohua felt a pang of sorrow! He hadn't managed to do a good deed; he'd almost become the perpetrator. Who could believe him?
The news of Xing Baohua's car accident also spread in the factory. It was almost rumored that he had been so arrogant lately that he had drunk so much that he had forgotten his own name and almost killed someone in a car accident.
Fortunately, the factory sent someone to visit him. Director Liu came on behalf of the factory leaders to offer his condolences and left some fruit.
Hou Liwei and Hong Mingliang also arrived. They entered without saying a word, one put down nutritional supplements and the other put down fifteen yuan, and then left.
The whole process left Xing Baohua completely bewildered. Who treats people like this? Are they here to disgust me? You just wait and see?
Su Ya sent Liu Quan with a message, saying that she was too busy to leave in the morning, but would come to keep him company in the afternoon.
Xu Shuai came over and, seeing Xing Baohua like this, chuckled. He then had Xing Baohua escorted to the Shangguzhuang factory. He instructed her to check if there was anything else that needed cleaning, remove the construction debris, and prepare for the production line.
Suya listened to her new colleague in the office as she talked incessantly about the close call she had last night.
The new colleague was transferred from the neighboring city to replace Liu Juanjuan. Her name is Hu Jiangyan. She is tall, slender, with an oval face and long, shiny black hair.
He was also a year older than Su Ya. After introducing himself to Su Ya upon entering the room, he chatted with her as if they were old friends.
"Su Ya, you have no idea! I was so scared last night! I'm still not in the same boat. It just darted past me. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I wouldn't be able to go to work today, and I don't even know if I'd be alive," Hu Jiangyan said, patting her chest.
Su Ya lowered her head slightly, looking a little awkward, but still said softly, "I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing! It's not like you were the one who hit me. Oh, do you know that person?" Hu Jiangyan said, realizing what was happening.
Su Ya nodded and said, "If you hadn't come and helped me get familiar with the environment, I would have gone to visit him by now."
"I'm your boyfriend," Su Ya said, as if she had mustered up her courage.
"I didn't realize you had a boyfriend. Come to think of it, you should talk to him when you get back. He needs to be more careful not to be so reckless in the future. Don't drive after drinking. You have no idea! I was so scared I wet my underwear." Hu Jiangyan tried to be tactful about how scared she was.
“He’s not usually like that. There must have been a reason he drank too much yesterday. I apologize to you on his behalf.” Su Ya finished speaking and saw Director Liu come in.
Director Liu coughed slightly and beckoned to Su Ya, saying, "Su Ya, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Su Ya nodded to Hu Jiangyan and left.
Director Liu looked down the corridor to make sure no one was watching, then lowered his voice and said to Su Ya, "I've seen Xiao Xing. It's nothing serious, just some superficial injuries. No bones are broken, she'll be fine in a couple of days. And Xiao Hu from your office? She's Hou Liwei's cousin. Be careful what you say."
"Ah!" This news was a bit unexpected. Then, as if she understood something, Su Ya quickly nodded.
"Alright, go back now." After saying this, Director Liu turned and went back to his office.
Su Ya returned to her office with a slightly flushed face. Director Liu's words had been quite revealing, and she needed to process them.
Then look at Hu Jiangyan, well, this is the person who almost became my sister-in-law.
If Hu Jiangyan had agreed to date Hou Liwei back then, she would have truly become his sister-in-law.
Now it's awkward. I don't know if Hu Jiangyan knows that Hou Liwei pursued her, and also why Hu Jiangyan was transferred here.
