Chapter 19: A Car Accident

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Guan Qing was silent for a while. He raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette, as if he was brewing some emotions. “Jiang Fu, the international negotiator.”

“The guest who visited Yu Garden.”

When Fang Chi found out about this, he did not have much emotion. Instead, he fell silent.

That silence lasted a moment.

It was as if he was lowering his head to reflect, but also as if he was avoiding certain facts.

“Why are you mentioning her?”

Fang Chi was silent for a long time before saying this. He reached out and tapped the cigarette ash in the ashtray before his gaze slowly landed outside the window.

Guan Qing’s hand that was holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and sighed helplessly.

“It’s just that—there are no two identical communities in this world. Even twins are different. Moreover, Jiang Fu is Jiang Fu, and Jiang Yi is Jiang Yi.”

It was unknown if Fang Chi was comforting himself or finding an excuse for himself.

Every word was like a drumbeat, beating on one’s chest.

Guan Qing sighed. “Forget it. It’s already happened.”

All these years, they had followed Fu Xiting and their hands were stained with a lot of blood.

As for Jiang Yi, she was just someone they felt was a little pitiful.

…..

Lunch wasn’t exactly messy, but it wasn’t exactly harmonious either.

After the dishes were served, Jiang Yi lowered her head and ate, unwilling to communicate with Fu Xiting.

The man’s sharp tongue seemed to have hit her sore spot, making her lose the mood to speak for a moment.

Jiang Yi was such a person. When she was in the mood, she would lower her head and talk to anyone casually.

If she was in a bad mood, any big shot would have to listen to her.

“Send Miss Jiang back.” The two of them walked out of the restaurant and stood beside the boulevard.

Fu Xiting’s words seemed to be giving instructions.

Opposite them was the capital’s high-end shopping center.

Behind him was a part of the city that had not been rebuilt.

The embassy area a few years ago was filled with low-rise British-style buildings.

It was low-key and luxurious and beautiful. It became a tourist attraction for many tourists.

Jiang Yi slowly retracted her gaze. “There’s no need. Mr. Fu doesn’t know where I’m going either, right?”

“Miss Jiang, you can tell me.” Fu Xiting’s gaze landed on her and became less sharp.

Jiang Yi looked down at the fallen leaves by her feet. It was May, and the leaves that should have fallen had long fallen. Only a few scattered leaves were still hanging on the tree.

“Just as Mr. Fu said, I don’t have any choice. However, without any choice, I don’t intend to cultivate any feelings with someone I don’t love. Mr. Fu, I hope you can stay away from me. The closest interaction between us is at most a marriage certificate that shouldn’t exist in this world.”

Fu Xiting’s hand, which was hanging by his side, tightened slightly.

Guan Qing and Fang Chi were stunned.

They stared at Jiang Yi as if they had seen a noble ghost.

How many women flocked to the young master of the capital?

Even a famous ex-diplomat like Old Master Jiang had to curry favor with him. But when it came to Jiang Yi, there was nothing but disdain.

Was she proud and aloof?

She was different from the rest.

Was she that cold?

It was probably because he had not left school yet and was inexperienced. The combination of white short-sleeved canvas shoes and jeans made it difficult for them to see what this person would be like in the future.

Their understanding of Jiang Yi only stopped at her status as a university student.

But for a university student to say such a thing? It was as scary as a five to six-month-old baby speaking.

Fang Chi believed Guan Qing’s words: Jiang Yi is not Jiang Yi.

But she was not Jiang Fu.

Her appearance was completely different.

The air around the four of them fell silent. The people coming and going looked at Jiang Yi and Fu Xiting and took out their phones to take photos.

What sort of photos were they taking?

It was probably because they had heard too many love stories between big shots and female students in the business world and thought that he had seen the real life version today.

Fu Xiting was wearing an expensive suit. Jiang Yi’s entire outfit was in the four digits. Just this alone was a world of difference.

“Miss Jiang, I don’t understand what you’re saying. You only want to talk to me about benefits.”

“You’re wrong. This isn’t what I thought. It was Mr. Fu’s idea from the beginning. I’ll always remember Mr. Fu’s words. If they were obedient, they could stay. If they were disobedient, he would kick them out.”

With that, Jiang Yi glared at Fu Xiting and turned to leave.

Ah—

On the other side of the street, a rich lady in branded clothes suddenly screamed. Jiang Yi’s gaze was attracted and she saw a three or four-year-old child chasing a flying balloon ran onto the road. At this moment, the red light was about to pass and the green light had just turned on. When the car passed the first zebra crossing, it was three to five meters away from them. Even if it braked, there would be an impact.

Without thinking, Jiang Yi threw down her bag and ran to the middle of the road. When the car was a few centimeters away from her, she reached out and pulled the child into her arms.

Screech—

Bang!

The former was the sound of brakes, while the latter was the sound of Jiang Yi being knocked out.

In an instant, the air froze.

The thought in everyone’s minds was that this child was finished.

In the next second, someone stepped forward and saved his life.

The shock in Fu Xiting’s eyes could not dissipate for a moment. After three to five seconds, he suddenly stepped forward and circled the car.

“Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi.” The man’s urgent voice sounded on the road.

He squatted on the ground and patted Jiang Yi’s face.

The rich lady on the other side of the street rushed over and shouted the children’s names, “Yaoyao, Yaoyao.”

The child seemed to be frightened. The moment he saw his mother, he burst into tears.

Jiang Yi loosened her grip slightly and let the child climb out of her arms.

The cries of adults, children, horns, men calling out, and the worried voices of the people intertwined.

Before Jiang Yi fainted, she thought that it would be great if she died.

This half-dead state was really uncomfortable.

When Jiang Yi was sent to the hospital, she was already in a complete coma.

The doctor took her for a series of tests. In the long corridor, the blood on Fu Xiting’s suit was faintly discernible. The woman sat on the cold chair in the hospital and shivered.

Fu Xiting looked down at her.

He didn’t say anything, but it was enough to make her not dare to say anything.

“Sir, Yaoyao has finished his checkup. He’s fine, just a little bruised on his arm.”

Guan Qing came over from the hospital and whispered into Fu Xiting’s ear.

Fu Xiting nodded.

Guan Qing glanced at the woman sitting on the bench. For some reason, his heart ached for her.

He continued, “The Jiang family is already on their way.”

Fu Xiting nodded slightly, his gaze still on the woman sitting on the bench. “The Fu family is still too kind to you.”

Bang!

The woman suddenly knelt on the ground and cried. She looked at Fu Xiting with fear and trembling. “I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t know why he suddenly ran onto the road. Xiting, believe me.”

She looked up at him, her face deathly pale.
