Zhao Ping stood up with the meal in her hand. Seeing Zhao Hai running over, she hurriedly said, "Brother, you're finally here! Rongrong hurt her back, it looks serious. She's in the emergency room being treated and hasn't come out yet."
Zhao Hai hurriedly asked, "Who hit them? Who is it? Did they run away?"
As Zhao Hai was speaking, he saw Xiang Pengfei beside him. Perhaps he was too anxious, so he assumed that Xiang Pengfei had bumped into him. In his panic, he grabbed Xiang Pengfei's collar and said, "Was it you? Was it you?"
Before Xiang Pengfei could speak, Zhao Ping hurriedly said, "Brother! Let go, let go! It's not Pengfei, it's not him!"
Zhao Hai then released Xiang Pengfei and turned to Zhao Ping, asking, "Who was that? Who was it? Tell me!"
"Brother, don't worry, it's an old lady!"
"Old lady? Where is she? I won't let her get away with this. No matter how old she is, she can't be allowed to hit someone!"
"Brother, don't blame the old lady. Zhao Rong wasn't watching where she was going. She was walking backwards, and the old lady didn't have brakes and was riding a bit fast, so they bumped into each other!"
Zhao Hai pulled Zhao Ping aside, then glanced at Xiang Pengfei and said, "Are you stupid? No matter who's to blame, it's the old lady's fault now, understand?"
"elder brother!"
"Don't say anything more, listen to me!"
"But it really was Zhao Rong's fault! She shouldn't have been fooling around on the side of the road, causing the old lady to not be able to brake in time and hit her!"
Zhao Hai pointed at Zhao Ping and said fiercely, "Listen to me carefully. Once someone is in the emergency room, it's not something that can be resolved with a few dollars. If you blame Zhao Rong, not only will no one take care of her medical expenses, but our family will also have to pay for the old lady's medical expenses. Do you want our family to pay for that?"
"But, brother...!"
As Xiang Pengfei listened to Zhao Hai's words, he felt anxious and impatient, as if he were the one who had done something wrong. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible to avoid being unable to explain himself when the families of both sides confronted each other later!
Having thought of this, Xiang Pengfei said to Zhao Ping, "Zhao Ping, I have to go now! I still have some things to do at my company!"
Zhao Ping nodded and said, "Okay, drive carefully. I'll treat you to dinner another day. Thank you for your help today!"
"Forget about inviting me to dinner! I'm afraid my wife will misunderstand. She doesn't allow me to associate with other women; she's very stingy!"
"Oh, we'll talk about it later!"
"Okay, goodbye!"
Xiang Pengfei turned to leave, but after taking only a few steps, he saw two people walking towards him at the end of the corridor, one of whom was Huang Zijuan.
Xiang Pengfei looked at Huang Zijuan with some surprise and said, "Sister Zijuan, what brings you here?"
When Huang Zijuan saw Xiang Pengfei in the emergency room, she panicked and said, "My colleague's mother was in a car accident, and I came to help. What are you doing here? Has my aunt had an accident?"
"No, I saw an old lady bump into a little girl on my way back after visiting my aunt, so I brought them to the hospital."
The man who came with Huang Zijuan hurriedly asked, "Comrade, what does the elderly person you brought look like?"
"It's an old man who wears a white shirt and has mostly white hair!"
"Oh, thank you, comrade. That's my mother. Thank you. What happened to my mother? How did she get into a car accident?"
Xiang Pengfei naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly, so he explained, "I didn't know what happened at the time. I was just passing by. The family members of the injured are over there. You can ask them; they know!"
So the man quickly took a few steps forward and asked, "Hello, I am the son of the old lady on the bicycle. May I ask what's going on?"
Zhao Ping was about to speak when Zhao Hai pulled her behind him and said, "Oh, you're the family member of the person who hit someone? The person who was hit was my sister. Why was your mother riding her bicycle so fast? Wasn't she watching where she was going?"
"I'm so sorry! I apologize on behalf of my mother. Her bicycle didn't have brakes, and she was probably in a hurry and lost control. I'm really sorry, comrade. But don't worry, I'll pay for her medical expenses, I definitely will!"
"Of course you'll pay for the medical expenses, you're definitely not getting out of it. Let me tell you, my dad is the deputy director of the cotton mill!"
"Oh, so you're a family member of the deputy factory director! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Suddenly the emergency room door opened, and a nurse pushed out a stretcher.
The nurse asked, "Are Cai Wenfen's family members here?"
The man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, how is my mother?"
"Your mom just twisted her ankle, it's a little swollen, she'll be fine after a few days of rest, it's nothing serious!"
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved that it's nothing serious. Thank you, doctor!"
"It's nothing, it's what I should do!"
Zhao Hai hurriedly asked the nurse, "Nurse, where's my sister? How is my sister Zhao Rong?"
"Zhao Rong! That young girl is in serious condition. She injured her lumbar spine, and she might be paralyzed if things don't go well. But our doctors are doing their best to save her, and we hope for a good outcome!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "What? Paralyzed? That won't do, nurse! My sister is only sixteen, she can't just become paralyzed like this! You have to save her, save her!"
The nurse quickly reassured Zhao Hai, saying, "Don't worry, family member. We doctors will do everything we can to save her. Don't worry, we will definitely save her!"
The man knelt by the bedside and called out to the old woman, "Mom, Mom, how are you?"
The old lady had recovered quite a bit and was in some spirits. She said, "Jiaming! Mom is alright. It's not my fault. This little girl suddenly turned around and walked backwards. She wasn't looking where she was going, and my car didn't have brakes. I panicked and accidentally bumped into her. It's really not my fault, Jiaming!"
"Mom, I understand, Mom!"
At this point, Zhao Hai became indignant and shouted, "Old lady, how can you talk like that? You were the one who hit him, so why aren't you being blamed? You're trying to shirk responsibility!"
Luo Jiaming quickly said, "Comrade, don't worry! Your sister was hit by my mother. We won't shirk our responsibility, don't worry!"
Zhao Hai then said, "That's more like it!"
The old lady was probably a bit agitated, and said, "It was clearly because she wasn't looking where she was going that this happened, why should I take responsibility? Why?"
Feng Jiaming comforted the old lady, saying, "Mom, don't worry, it's all over now. We can't shirk responsibility! After all, you were the one who touched that girl!"
"I,,!"
The old lady wanted to say something, but she was too weak to refute it, probably because her ankle started to hurt again!
"Zhao Hai, Zhao Ping, how is your sister?"
Zhao Hujiang walked over from the end of the corridor. Judging from his disordered steps, you could tell he had rushed over. He seemed particularly flustered and nervous.
Zhao Hai pointed at the old woman and said, "She's the one who hit my sister, it was her!"
Zhao Hujiang was about to get angry when he saw the old lady lying on the hospital bed, but then he froze and said, "Afen! It's you!"
The old woman suddenly turned her body to the side and ignored Zhao Hujiang.
Zhao Hujiang turned to Zhao Ping and asked, "What happened, Zhao Ping? Didn't I tell you to pick up your sister? How did such a big thing happen?"
Zhao Ping lowered her head and said with some shame, "I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't watch my sister properly. It's not Auntie's fault. My sister is naughty and doesn't watch where she's going. She was walking backwards, and Auntie's car didn't have brakes, so it hit her!"
Zhao Hai glared at Zhao Ping and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It was that old lady who bumped into Zhao Rong, how can it not be her responsibility?"
"Alright, that's enough!"
Zhao Hujiang stopped Zhao Hai from speaking and asked Zhao Ping, "How is your sister? What did the doctor say?"
When asked this question, Zhao Ping became a little emotional, and tears streamed down her face. She said, "The nurse said that my sister might be paralyzed!"
"Paralyzed?"
Zhao Hujiang was completely dumbfounded.
