Hospital.
Most of the Sheng family were there. Sheng Wei was still in the operating room and had not come out yet. Just now, grandfather only asked her to go to the hospital and said that Sheng Wei was injured and sounded quite serious from his tone.
Su Ningxi knew that she had been in a car accident. She didn't expect it to be so serious. Having a car accident while racing was a very common thing.
The design of the racetrack itself, made of carbon fiber cockpit, had extremely high impact resistance, which could protect the racer from injury in a crash, and the driver himself would also wear helmets and other protective gear. She didn't expect to be sent to the hospital after just one crash.
"Grandfather, uncle, auntie." Su Ningxi greeted them one by one.
When Huang Zhen saw Su Ningxi arrive, she poured out all her anger at her, "You still have the nerve to come. Look what you've done to Weiwei. No matter what, she's still your sister!"
"Shut up. Don't wrongly accuse Xiaoxi before we get to the bottom of this." Old Master Sheng stopped Huang Zhen's shouting.
Huang Zhen cried, "Dad! Weiwei is lying in there between life and death. You are still covering for her. You are clearly favoring her too much."
Sheng Zhehan pulled Huang Zhen and said, "Zhen, you can't talk back to Dad like that."
Huang Zhen got even angrier as soon as he opened his mouth. She shook off Sheng Zhehan's hand and said, "Sheng Zhehan, can you stop being so wimpy? Weiwei is your daughter too. The culprit is right in front of you, yet you don't even dare fart. You disappoint me so much."
Old Master Sheng frowned. This daughter-in-law was really too reckless, flying off the handle at the slightest thing, without an ounce of a mistress' composure.
Sheng Zhehan's expression also changed, but seeing how worried she was about their daughter, he didn't rebuke her. He only said, "We have to get to the bottom of this before making any conclusions. Let's ask Weiwei clearly after she wakes up."
Having just scolded Sheng Zhehan, Huang Zhen regretted it immediately afterwards. The two of them had been a loving couple for decades, rarely having arguments. Her mood calmed down a lot. When Sheng Zhehan questioned her, she knew she was in the wrong and kept silent.
Sheng Zhehan looked at Su Ningxi, "Don't take your auntie's words to heart. She's just too worried about Sheng Wei."
Su Ningxi shook her head, indicating she wouldn't take it to heart. From their conversation, she had a rough idea of what was going on. They thought Sheng Wei's injury had something to do with her. "What exactly happened?"
"Here's what happened. Before entering the operating room, Weiwei said you caused her car accident. Uncle believes you're a good kid and wouldn't do something like this. There must be some misunderstanding. Tell uncle exactly what happened." Weiwei was barely conscious when she said it vaguely.
Su Ningxi...
This was really fucking ridiculous. How could they pin this on her? But this was indeed Sheng Wei's style.
"She did invite me to race together, but her injury had nothing to do with me."
Sheng Zhehan nodded. Su Ningxi's reply was within his expectations. He was clear on Su Ningxi's character. It was his own daughter who had been spoiled rotten.
At this moment, the operating room door opened. Huang Zhen went up first and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"The surgery was very successful. Just let her rest for a while and she'll be fine."
The doctor's words put everyone at ease. Sheng Wei was soon transferred to a regular ward.
Su Ningxi didn't want to stay any longer. She went to Old Master Sheng and said, "Grandfather, since Sheng Wei is fine, I'll head back first. This really has nothing to do with me. The surveillance can prove it anytime."
Old Master Sheng said, "Grandfather believes you."
Then he asked, "What do you think of the boy you met today for the blind date?"
"He was quite good," Su Ningxi said ambiguously.
"That's good. Take it slow. The Qin family is also a prominent family in Beijing. Although the boy looks a little plain, he has good character. Now when looking for a man, you have to find one with good character. No matter how good-looking, it's useless if he has bad character."
"Okay, I'm leaving first then."
Old Master Sheng nodded. "Go on, be careful on the road."
"Okay."
Su Ningxi planned to take the elevator straight to the first floor. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt everyone in the elevator was glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally.
To alleviate this discomfort, she took out her phone and bowed her head to look at it. There were several calls and messages.
Just as she was about to reply to the messages, another call came in. Shen Zhilan's voice came over, "Ningxi, what's your situation now? What happened to keeping a low profile? You're famous now, you know!"
"I know!" Su Ningxi sounded very calm. All this was within her expectations.
"All the racing fans want to dox you. You're like a god now."
Hearing Shen Zhilan's words, she breathed a sigh of relief. They still hadn't doxxed her yet!
"It was an accident. I'll leave it to you to handle the aftermath." Su Ningxi said very unkindly.
"Why should I? I won't do it if there's no benefit for me."
"You received what I ordered online for you last time, right? Have you used it? How's the effect? Should I order another box for you?"
When Shen Zhilan thought of the impotence curing pills she had received a couple days ago, she got pissed. Was this meant to mock his inability to perform? She called out "Su Ningxi" with surname and given name.
Hearing his gnashing voice over the phone, Su Ningxi thought it was good he wasn't by her side, or else she wouldn't have gotten away unharmed.
"What did you say? I can't hear you. Hello... hello?"
Su Ningxi said hello a few times before hanging up the phone.
She wasn't worried about things online, because she knew Shen Zhilan would handle it for her. Otherwise he wouldn't have called her either. Their decade long friendship wasn't fake.
Su Ningxi came out of the elevator and directly hailed a cab at the roadside. While waiting for the cab, she inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure. Was that Huo Yuchen?
But there was also a woman supporting him. When she wanted to get a clearer look, they were gone.
Could it be her illusion? Wasn't Huo Yuchen away on a business trip? How could he appear in Beijing? She must have seen wrong.
Just as she was lost in thought, the driver had been waiting there for a while. "Are you getting in or not, Miss?"
Su Ningxi returned to her senses and got in the car. "Sorry for the wait. Let's go!"
The car headed towards the villa.
At the same time, Huo Yuchen's car went in the opposite direction from the villa.
Su Ningxi hadn't seen wrong. The person she saw just now was indeed Huo Yuchen. As for that woman, she was Ling Yin, the one rumored to have gone to a hotel with him online.
The one driving was Huo Yuchen's assistant Chen Nanbei. Huo Yuchen and Ling Yin sat in the back.
The car was very quiet the whole way. Seeing that they were about to reach home, Ling Yin was unwilling to just go back like this. It was hard-earned to be able to sit in the same car with him.
She turned to look at Huo Yuchen several times, before finally plucking up the courage to speak, "Brother Chen, will you come pick me up tomorrow when I change my bandage?"
Huo Yuchen didn't even lift his eyelids, his voice completely flat. "I'll have Nanbei come."
Disappointment flashed across Ling Yin's face.
She went on, "Will you come to my birthday party next month?"
Huo Yuchen gave an "Mm" of acknowledgment.
Ling Yin got the answer she wanted and her face instantly filled with smiles. "You must come then."
At this time, Nanbei stopped the car at the gate of the Ling residence and turned to say, "We've arrived, Miss Ling."
Ling Yin pushed the door open and got out. Before closing the door, she smiled at Huo Yuchen and waved, "Bye Brother Chen, drive carefully on the way back."
Ling Yin stood there watching until Huo Yuchen's car disappeared from sight. She still had a silly smile looking in the direction he had left.
Going through this experience, she clearly felt Brother Chen's attitude towards her had improved a lot. How nice.
