With Tao Yuxuan's help, Shi Xi enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet.
But less than a week later, Shi Xi received a message:
Tao Yuxuan was in a car accident.
...
"The patient dodged in time and was not seriously injured. He has some abrasions on his legs and arms, and a mild concussion. He will be kept in the hospital for observation for two days," the doctor said casually.
"How is her baby? Has she had any miscarriage?" Xu Ziqing quickly asked.
"A child?" the doctor asked, puzzled. "She doesn't have one—"
Noticing the warning look in her eyes, the doctor immediately changed what she was saying, saying, "There are no signs of miscarriage right now, I'll arrange for her to have another ultrasound."
Xu Ziqing comforted Shi Xu, saying, "Miss Tao is very lucky and will definitely be alright."
Shi Xu, usually so gentle, pursed his thin lips, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "Xu Ziqing, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Tao Yuxuan had only been faking her pregnancy for a few days when she was hit by a car.
He couldn't help but suspect Xu Ziqing.
"Of course we must get to the bottom of this. We absolutely cannot let the driver who caused the accident get away with it." Xu Ziqing forced a smile. "I'll go buy Miss Tao some food."
As Shi Xu watched Xu Ziqing's departing figure, his heart sank deeper and deeper.
He had previously investigated Xu Ziqing; she was ambitious and hardworking, and had dated several boyfriends. However, after her achievements surpassed those of her boyfriends, Xu Ziqing dumped them.
The most obvious example is Wu Ni from the previous relationship. After they started dating, Wu Ni bought Xu Ziqing a car and a house in Haicheng, and also gave her a large portion of his company shares.
However, after learning about her engagement with Shi Xu, Xu Ziqing dumped Wu Ni without hesitation.
He told Grandpa Shi about these things, but Grandpa Shi thought it must be because Xu Ziqing was very good that men pursued her.
What's good about it?
I took a deep breath and went to see the doctor to coordinate my statements.

When Shi Xi pushed open the door to enter the ward, she saw Tao Yuxuan sitting on the bed, playing games.
"How is it?" Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tao Yuxuan still had the energy to play games.
"I'm fine now, but the doctor won't let me leave the hospital," Tao Yuxuan complained. "The hospital's internet speed is awful!"
Shi Xi sat on the stool next to her and started peeling an orange. She asked, "How could you be so careless? Don't you look for cars when you cross the street?"
Tao Yuxuan said speechlessly, "I was walking peacefully on the sidewalk when that car suddenly rushed towards me!"
I think they hit me on purpose! But that car didn't have a license plate, and they drove off after hitting me.
"It must be one of my dad's mistresses, trying to kill me so she can marry into the family and inherit the estate!"
Shi Xi: "..."
Tao Yuxuan is an only child. Her mother has some mental health issues and has been hospitalized. Her father is a womanizer and no one can control him.
Although Tao's parents were not divorced, Tao's father always claimed to be single while indulging in a life of pleasure outside. Those "girlfriends" thought they could marry into the family, so they caused all sorts of trouble.
Knowing of Tao Yuxuan's existence, some people wanted to win her over, while others wanted to get rid of this stumbling block.
Shi Xi asked, "Where's my brother? He's not here?"
"He said he had something to take care of and left a long time ago," Tao Yuxuan said regretfully. "I had originally agreed with Green Tea to break off the engagement today, but I didn't expect this mess to happen."
"You made an appointment with Xu Ziqing?" Shi Xi frowned slightly, sensing that things were not so simple.
"It was Green Tea who invited me and Shi Xu to discuss how to say something without upsetting Grandpa Shi." Tao Yuxuan looked at the orange that Shi Xi had peeled, waiting for Shi Xi to feed her.
