Chu Yu turned her head and saw an auntie riding a bicycle hit an old lady. The auntie seemed to be out buying groceries, and the things in her shopping basket fell all over the ground, with tomatoes rolling across the road.
"You old man, why don't you watch where you're going? What are you daydreaming about? You keep bumping into my car. Look what you've done to me. The vegetables I just bought are all ruined."
The old man's hair was gray, and the impact was quite severe. He lay on the ground, supporting himself on his hips with his arms, unable to get up for a long time, only managing to say weakly:
"How can you talk like that? I just crossed the street after the red light turned green. I was walking perfectly fine, and you ran the red light and bumped into me. You bumped into me and you're blaming me now."
Sun Xiulan's eyes darted away. "What red light, green light? I'm not buying your nonsense. You hit me, and I didn't even ask you to pay for my groceries. How can you turn around and blame me?"
The old woman was about to cry, but Chen Qiufen pulled Chu Yu aside and whispered, "I saw it clearly. It was the woman on the bicycle who hit us. It was clearly her fault."
Zhang Ying was also a person with a sense of justice. She and Chu Yu stopped the person riding the bicycle and prevented her from running away.
Sun Xiulan was about to run away when she was stopped, which made her very angry.
"Mind your own business! What does this have to do with you? Let me tell you, I have powerful backers. I live in the compound, and I have plenty of people in my family. Don't mess with me! Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"
Chu Yu laughed, "It's no use talking to me about who's in your family. Go talk to the police. But you broke someone's bones, and not only did you not pay for medical expenses, you didn't even apologize. Is that how you behave?"
Sun Xiulan was a little panicked. The old man had fallen quite badly, and she was afraid that his bones had been fractured. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Hitting an elderly person is the most troublesome thing. Not only would the medical expenses be endless, but she would also have to go to the hospital to take care of him every day.
It's all those two little bitches' fault. If it weren't for them, she would have ridden away on her bike long ago, and there wouldn't be such a big problem.
When the police arrived, Sun Xiulan panicked completely and had no choice but to cooperate with the police investigation.
"Officer, don't worry, I will compensate as much as I should, but I shouldn't have to pay for everything, right? She didn't avoid me when crossing the road, so she also has some responsibility. To tell you the truth, I'm a relative of Secretary Dai. You know Secretary Dai, right? We're all on the same side, so please be lenient with me."
Police Officer Cao glanced at Police Officer Qian and asked in a low voice:
"Secretary Dai, is that Secretary Dai?"
Police Officer Qian was a veteran officer; he knew there was nothing new happening in the capital. People say that if you stood on the streets of Beijing and struck someone with a stick, you'd find at least three officials. That's a bit of an exaggeration, and Police Officer Qian wasn't exactly naive, but Secretary Dai was certainly someone a lowly policeman like him couldn't discuss with.
But I've heard from the leaders that Secretary Dai is an impartial and incorruptible person. How could he possibly condone his relatives using back channels?
Besides, this is no small matter.
She hit an elderly person, didn't want to take responsibility, and even wanted to find a way to reduce the punishment. In the end, Sun Xiulan didn't want to pay a single penny.
This is quite egregious.
Qian Gong'an didn't quite like Sun Xiulan's way of dealing with people, and frowned as he said:
“No matter whose relative you are, the old lady is lying in the hospital. You should visit her and pay her medical bills. She has most likely fractured a bone. She is a retired employee, so part of her medical expenses can be reimbursed. You won’t have to pay much. Secretary Dai can’t possibly be unable to afford this much money.”
Sun Xiulan didn't want to spend a single penny.
Why should she pay? Everyone bows and scrapes before Secretary Dai. Although she's just a nanny, she's Secretary Dai's nanny, and people have to give her face when she goes out.
Even the people in the compound treat her with great respect. This Qian Gongan is just a low-ranking police officer, not even a district leader, so why should he not give Secretary Dai face?
She only bumped into him once. That old geezer lost his balance and fell. It's because that old geezer is useless, it's because that old geezer is blind. What does it have to do with her? In the end, it's just her bad luck that she was stopped by those students.
Chu Yu and Chen Qiufen have finished giving their statements and are visiting the elderly person at the hospital.
Sun Xiulan was forced to go to the hospital. She had barely arrived when a woman with long, wavy hair and wearing deep purple high heels rushed in, anxiously asking:
"Mom, what happened? Are you hurt?"
The voice sounded familiar. Chu Yu frowned. What a small world! Beijing is so big, how could she run into Dai Qinxue! Was this woman Dai Qinxue's mother?
When they divorced, Jiang Meifeng boasted to others that her future daughter-in-law's family were officials and that Dai Qinxue's family lived in a large compound. She said that as long as Zhou Jian'an married Dai Qinxue, he would definitely rise to prominence.
The tone of his voice made it sound as if Zhou Jian'an, the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, was his own.
Chu Yu did not want to judge people by their appearance. Logically speaking, Dai Qinxue came from an extraordinary family and had a good figure and appearance, but Sun Xiulan did not seem like an official's wife in terms of temperament, clothing and speech.
Sun Xiulan couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she saw her daughter. "Mom had such a bad day. I went to the market to buy some vegetables and bumped into an old lady on my way back. It's all that old lady's fault for being so blind. She didn't even know to avoid me and ended up falling and ending up in the hospital."
The old lady was an employee, so her hospitalization wouldn't cost much. Dai Qinxue had already swindled four or five thousand yuan from several officials' wives, and she had enough money in hand.
"It's okay, Mom, I have money. I'll pay for it!"
"Why should you pay me? If it weren't for those bitches testifying, I would have ridden away on my bike long ago. Who would have known that I was the one who hit him?" Sun Xiulan became angrier the more she thought about it. "Why waste your spare money on that old geezer? It would be good if you could give me your money."
Dai Qinxue didn't want to cause trouble. If the Dai family found out that Sun Xiulan had hit someone and fled the scene, things would only get worse.
Sometimes, Dai Qinxue was quite annoyed by Sun Xiulan.
This person is short-sighted, petty, and greedy. He hits someone and tries to run away without considering the consequences.
Having a mother like that is the worst luck Dai Qinxue has ever had.
"Alright! All you ever talk about is money, money, money! I've given you plenty of money, and you keep bringing up money all the time."
"How dare you talk like that? If it weren't for your mother, would you be where you are today? Would those officials' wives be chasing after you to give you money?" Sun Xiulan said angrily.
Dai Qinxue wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she was face to face with Chu Yu.
Dai Qinxue had only met Chu Yu once or twice, and after so long, she had long forgotten what he looked like. But Chu Yu was exceptionally handsome, and Dai Qinxue quickly remembered him.
Her hands were trembling violently, and she felt waves of panic coursing through her chest.
"Mom, shut your mouth!" Dai Qinxue winked at Sun Xiulan.
Sun Xiulan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Chu Yu and said resentfully, "That little hussy stopped my car. If it weren't for her, I would have run away long ago. What, you know her?"
"She's Zhou Jian'an's daughter. I don't know why she came to Beijing."
Dai Qinxue was worried that Chu Yu would ruin things, so she felt uneasy. What she was truly concerned about was that Zhou Chu Yu's boyfriend was Dai Donglin. If Chu Yu went to the Dai family as a guest and bumped into Sun Xiulan, her affair would be exposed.
Sun Xiulan frowned. "She's Dai Donglin's girlfriend? Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known, I would have been more careful when I went out today. If I had known, I wouldn't have hit that old lady. No, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
