"I'm sorry, Jiajia. I just came to pick up An'an, and something unexpected happened. We're still at the kindergarten gate. Can you ask your husband to come and pick up the child first?"
Liu Jiajia on the other end was in a very difficult situation. She was so anxious to come back to pick up her child that she accidentally knocked down an old man.
Now the old man kept pestering her, so the traffic police came and ruled that she was fully responsible, and asked her to take the old man to the hospital for a full body check-up.
She is in the hospital now and can't get away.
She just called her husband and he hung up his phone. When she called again, his phone was turned off.
"My husband doesn't answer the phone. How about this, you take An An back to your home first, and I'll pick her up later." Liu Jiajia didn't know what happened to Xia Zhichu, and thought she said this because she had to leave for something urgent.
Xia Zhichu hesitated to speak, but finally said, "Okay, I'll think of a way."
Liu Jiajia was pregnant and had experienced a traffic accident. If she knew that An An almost had a car accident as well, she would definitely be very anxious.
Xia Zhichu concealed the matter and looked at the vast sea of cars, not knowing what to do.
After sitting on the ground for a long time, she was about to call the emergency number herself when she suddenly heard a horn sound from the front and a black jeep stopped in front of her.
The car door opened and Lei Yanchao got out.
When he saw Xia Zhichu, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you sitting on the side of the road? What happened?"
Xia Zhichu recognized him. He was Si Mochen's colleague at Zhongcheng Group. He was the one who personally received them when they bought a house last time.
She couldn't find anyone to help, so she could only say to Lei Yanchao, "I just had an accident and hurt my knee. Can you take me home?"
Lei Yanchao took a look and saw a large bruise and a bloody wound. He didn't know how long the bleeding had been going on, and the blood around it had already scabbed over.
He quickly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Why didn't you call Manager Si if you were injured? He should come to pick you up at this time."
When Xia Zhichu heard this, he asked in confusion, "He was on a business trip this morning, didn't you know?"
Lei Yanchao really didn't know. Si Mochen's whereabouts were erratic, so who knew what new tricks he was playing.
But he didn't expose it, and played along, saying, "Oh, now I remember, he did mention this before leaving get off work yesterday."
After saying that, he avoided the topic and helped Xia Zhichu into the car.
Lin Anan also sat down obediently and hugged Xia Zhichu tightly.
If she hadn't been so willful, her sister wouldn't have been hurt.
Lei Yanchao looked at Lin Anan and asked casually, "Who is this child?"
Xia Zhichu explained, "My friend's daughter had something happen to her, so she asked me to come and help pick up the child. Who knew this would happen?"
Lei Yanchao finally understood why Si Mochen was so nervous on the phone. It was probably because he learned that Xia Zhichu was in trouble and was entangled in certain things and couldn't get away, so he was upset.
"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital. If such a big wound is not treated, it will become infected."
Without giving Xia Zhichu time to refuse, Lei Yanchao drove towards the hospital.
Because Xia Zhichu couldn't walk, Lei Yanchao didn't want to hug her. After all, she was his brother's woman. If they got too close, who knew if Si Mochen would get jealous and kill him.
Finally, Lei Yanchao called a nurse to push a bed and sent Xia Zhichu to the emergency room.
Because the wound was very deep and required stitches, the delay lasted more than two hours. By the time Xia Zhichu was sent out, it was already dark.
Xia Zhichu was worried about Liu Jiajia, so he called to ask about her situation. When he learned that Liu Jiajia had just returned from the hospital, Xia Zhichu said hurriedly, "I brought Jiajia out. Give me your address and I'll send you home safely."
Soon, a text message came on the phone.
Xia Zhichu looked at Lei Yanchao and said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Lei, can I ask you for another favor?"
How could Lei Yanchao dare to say no? This was Si Mochen's woman, and he had to satisfy any request.
"My legs are not very convenient, could you please take An An back home?"
The child was tired of crying and fell asleep on a chair in the hospital corridor.
Lei Yanchao said readily, "Manager Si takes special care of me at the company. This little favor is no trouble at all."
After saying this, he shed tears in his heart.
The meeting just now was about discussing a contract worth tens of millions. When he came out, he just paused the meeting. Now the client is still waiting in the conference room.
If I don't go back, I'm afraid this contract will be wasted.
"Thank you very much."
Xia Zhichu said gratefully.
Lei Yanchao pushed the wheelchair over and helped Xia Zhichu sit in it. When they reached the car, he helped her get in, then turned around and picked up the sleeping child. Then he drove the two of them back.
Halfway through the journey, Lei Yanchao got off the car and bought a crutch to make it easier for Xia Zhichu to move around.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into Shuzhuang Community.
Liu Jiajia was waiting outside the community. She saw a car coming in from afar and approached with her big belly.
Lei Yanchao got out of the car first and came over to open the door for Xia Zhichu. Xia Zhichu got out directly with the help of crutches, and he held the child in the car in his arms.
"Zhichu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Xia Zhichu's knees wrapped in thick gauze, Liu Jiajia asked nervously.
Xia Zhichu smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I accidentally fell and scratched my skin a little."
She still didn't tell anyone about the child chasing the dog. After all, it was a child's nature to be playful and naughty. It was because she didn't pay attention to the child that this happened.
Fortunately, the child was fine, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to explain to Liu Jiajia.
"The child is asleep, let's send her home first." Lei Yanchao was anxious to return to the company and just wanted to get things done quickly.
It’s tens of millions. If you lose it, it will be a huge loss.
He is not as rich as Si Mochen, and countless cases are voluntarily sent to him for signature and cooperation.
The real estate industry has been tough in recent years, and many real estate companies have lost money. He has only been able to survive until now thanks to Si Mochen's investment.
He followed up on this case for several months before the other party agreed to cooperate. If he failed, he would have to ask Si Mochen for it back.
"Who is this?"
She was just worried about Xia Zhichu's situation and ignored Lei Yanchao. Now when she heard him speak, Liu Jiajia asked curiously.
Xia Zhichu introduced, "Mr. Lei, my husband's friend."
Lei Yanchao nodded politely to Liu Jiajia.
Liu Jiajia also smiled and walked forward to hug the child.
But Lei Yanchao took a step back and raised his hand to stop her, "Your belly is so big, you can't hold the baby anymore. Let me help you carry it up."
Liu Jiajia looked at him with gratitude. Everyone knew that she could no longer do heavy work or hold the child because of her big belly, but every time she went out with her husband, she still held the child.
Even when she got into trouble, it was others who helped her, while her husband was still out socializing.
At this moment, Liu Jiajia felt very pitiful. Marriage deprived her of her youth and was more like a shackle that tightly tied her life.
She couldn't even see the direction of the future, and didn't know which step she should take.
At this moment, she felt very tired, but still politely thanked Lei Yanchao.
