"No need, Duoduo and I are family! Godmother, aren't you treating me like an outsider?"
Gu Yan's good-natured appearance has completely won over Mother Jiang's heart.
This made Jiang's mother feel even more guilty towards Duoduo and Xiaoyan. She firmly said, "No, Auntie will definitely have to visit your house another day!"
Ji Yue rolled his eyes at Gu Yan's feigned refusal...
As for Qin Jue, his brows were furrowed deeply, he thought Ji Yue and Gu Yan were just ordinary suitors.
Ji Yue and Duo Duo have been neighbors since childhood, so it's only natural that he knows Jiang's mother.
But why is Gu Yan calling Duo Duo's mother "godmother"?
He didn't even know how to address Duoduo's mother.
Through Gu Yan's skillful and manipulative feigned reluctance, he had Jiang's mother's heart firmly in his grasp.
Qin Xue couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted their conversation, "Auntie, what do you plan to do with the perpetrator?"
Only then did Jiang's mother notice Qin Xue and Qin Jue beside her. She turned to look at Duoduo with a puzzled expression, "Who are they?"
"Um... my friend," Jiang Duoduo mumbled, giving a general answer.
After Jiang's mother spotted Qin Jue, her gaze remained fixed on him. She felt that the man looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.
Jiang Duoduo noticed her mother's gaze directed at Qin Jue and, fearing her mother would press for answers, quickly asked, "Mom, where is the person who caused the accident?"
Jiang's mother snapped out of her daze, and her anger surged again. "Just thinking about it makes me so angry!"
"When I arrived at the traffic police brigade, I learned that the person who hit your mother, Ye, was the driver of the CEO of the Lu Group, who owns a law firm. Their CEO, Lu Lifeng, was also in the car at the time."
"Lu Lifeng is really something. He thinks he can just brush things off by saying there's a problem with the brake system and make me wait for the judgment notice. I've heard your dad say before that the Lu family specializes in taking on dirty cases with no conscience. Now I see, they really are no good!"
After Jiang's mother finished speaking angrily, Ji Yue chimed in, "The Lu Group? That's going to be troublesome."
“But look,” Jiang’s mother sighed, “it’s been half a day since the incident, and we haven’t even seen a trace of them.”
Jiang Duoduo looked utterly astonished as they spoke.
The Lu Group, which owns a law firm?
Did she hear that right?
Was it Lu Lifeng who hit Ye's mother?
If she remembered correctly, in the original text, there was another male protagonist who hadn't appeared by her side yet. His background was briefly mentioned, and he was Lu Lifeng's son.
Jiang Duoduo was immediately at a loss. She thought that Ye's mother's accident today, which prevented her from taking the college entrance examination, would be two terrible things for her.
Unexpectedly, a third item appeared!
So, does this mean she's now involved with the male lead who hasn't even appeared yet?
Jiang Duoduo swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm.
Qin Jue noticed all of Duo Duo's nervous little actions.
Qin Jue felt a pang of heartache, but it was inconvenient to speak at the moment. However, he was prepared to have Lu Lifeng atone for Duo Duo's sins.
He wouldn't even consider the Lu family a threat.
Another hour passed.
The red light in the ICU finally turned green, and the doctor came out and said to them, "The surgery went very smoothly, and the patient will wake up within 24 hours."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Duoduo slowly relaxed her tense and exhausted body.
