บท 16: White Rich Beauty (16)
Jin Yao's eyes darkened. Although he is angry, he still plans to answer Yue Ran's question first because he recalled recognizing Yue Ran as Rui Qin when he was in a semi-conscious state.
"Sister Qin is…Rui Qin. She is a neighbor I grew up with. I only regard her as my sister, and she and I are not in a romantic relationship, nor are we each other's boyfriend or girlfriend."
"Oh, childhood sweethearts?" Yue Ran sneered in Jin Yao's face; her voice contained obvious sarcasm. "Both of your relationships are very deep, right? After all, you called her name when I was the one who rescued you!"
Yue Ran exploded.
In fact, Yue Ran wasn't at all angry. Sure, she was angry at first for being treated as a substitute, but her rage faded as time passed.
It was unquestionable that Yue Ran still held a grudge for it, but she never sincerely cared about Jin Yao's wellbeing or feelings in general.
Right now, her show of anger was more about the fact that she wanted to go on an all-out offensive strategy. It was akin to riding a tiger.
If she didn't force herself to tame the tiger, then the tiger would jump her.
If she didn't go and accuse Jin Yao, then Jin Yao would be the one to accuse her.
Offense is the best defense.
As expected, Jin Yao was speechless.
Yue Ran turned away with a "Hmph" when she saw this. Her steps were quick, but she was still blocked by Yang Chi, who had driven his car to stop in front of her at the entrance of the hospital.
"Get in the car." Yang Chi looked straight ahead, his eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses, and said those words in a cold tone without turning his head.
Yue Ran got into the sports car without protest. She was just in need of a ride.
"Aren't you going to explain anything?" Yang Chi's eyes behind his sunglasses were shadowed and dark; his tone was flat; and his expression was unflinching, almost as if nothing was bothering him.
"Is there anything more to explain?" Yue Ran replied casually. "Haven't you seen it all yourself?"
Yue Ran didn't fear his anger, but she still had to be tough when the time came. As long as she didn't feel guilty, she wasn't the one who was wrong.
Her logic is flawed, but it's her logic nonetheless.
"I have seen it all?" Yang Chi repeated her words with gritted teeth and ripped his sunglasses off to shoot a quick glare at Yue Ran before focusing on the road. "Are you admitting it?"
Admitting that she is cuckolding him!
"What did I admit?" Yue Ran raised a brow. "Admit that I like you?"
Yang Chi's breath was caught.
"Yang Chi's favorability +5"
"Yang Chi's current favorability is 40"
"Don't change the subject!" Yang Chi's face turned red in anger. Or was it embarrassment? "Do you like that Jin Yao?" He asked and then added. "Or that Jiang Yi from before?"
"Are those any of your business?" Yue Ran spoke flatly as she admired her flawless nails.
"Master, watch out at ten o'clock!" Ruan Ruan suddenly shouted in Yue Ran's mind.
Yue Ran raised her head. Her expression was calm, with no trace of panic.
The opportunity arrived just in time.
A light flashed in Yue Ran's eyes, and her mouth hooked up slightly.
Yang Chi still wanted to counter Yue Ran's words, but he caught sight of a truck driving through the red light at the intersection ahead. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but it was too late.
He could only watch helplessly as the truck approached them at high speed.
Bang—
It hit the front bumper of his car, then the engine, shattering the front window glass into smithereens.
Everything went by so fast, and then there was red.
"Yue Ran!!!"
Yang Chi's pupils dilated. For a while, everything slowed down to a minimum; he could even see the glass debris flying past his eyes. But everything was ignored when he focused on Yue Ran.
Those eyes could only contain Yue Ran—her face and the bright red blood slowly oozing from her head.
Yue Ran.
Yue Ran!
"Yang Chi's favorability +30"
"Yang Chi's current favorability is 70"
Time sped up again, then—Crash!
His ears were ringing, and his vision went in and out. He coughed; even the air he breathed in felt oppressive.
Yang Chi spotted Yue Ran from the corner of his eyes and crawled to her.
"Yue Ran…" His voice was only a little louder than a whisper.
When he reached her, he could do nothing but watch as her eyes slowly closed.
Even if everything he felt was pain, he held desperately on to his consciousness. Regaining a little clarity, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was full of anxiety as he pressed on the emergency call.
The waiting time felt like a century.
Before he knew it, he had blacked out.
☼︎ ✵ ☼︎
Central Hospital
Father Yue was making a phone call, asking his men to find the perpetrator as soon as possible.
His daughter, whom he had spoiled with care all his life, had suffered such a serious injury all of a sudden! How could he not be angry?
On the other hand, Mother Yue was sitting by Yue Ran's bed, staring at Yue Ran's pale, unconscious self with tears streaming down her face.
"My Ran Ran has never been hurt since she was a child; this must be very painful for her..." she choked out. "My Ran Ran must be in a lot of pain."
☼︎ ✵ ☼︎
In a private ward, Yang Chi slowly but surely regained his consciousness.
He blinked his eyes and kept calling in a hoarse voice, "Yue—Yue Ran... Yue Ran..."
Mother Yang, who was sitting by the hospital bed to accompany Yang Chi, grabbed his hand. "Chi'er, you finally woke up; you scared mother to death; how did you and Ran Ran get into a car accident? Ran Ran was struck by—"
Before Mother Yang finished speaking, Yang Chi had already raised his head anxiously, turned over his body, and wanted to get out of bed, but he was immediately forced back down.
He groaned but still tried to get back up. "No, Yue Ran—"
"Stop with your antics; you are still injured; don't get up!" Mother Yang scolded and pushed her son back into his resting position.
"However, Yue Ran she... How is she?"
"I have just come back from the next ward to see her." Mother Yang patted her son's shoulder to appease him. "Ran Ran is still in a coma, but fortunately, she is now out of danger."
Yang Chi let out a sigh of relief.
Mother Yang brought a glass of water to Yang Chi and gestured for him to drink it up. He nodded and took it gladly.
"Even if you go now, she's still..." Her words trailed off. "Wait, don't tell me... have you fallen for Ran Ran?" She raised a brow. "Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to see her?" Mother Yang's voice was one of curiosity and teasing.
"I... It's Yue Ran, Mom, who saved me from danger," Yang Chi said. "She blocked the danger in front of me. I seem to have misunderstood her all along…"
Mother Yang looked surprised, happy, and relieved at the same time.
"What? Really? Didn't I say long ago that Ran Ran is a very good girl, and I kept asking myself how my son could not like such a cute and kind little girl?" Mother Yang said. "I will talk to you later; I have to go and see Ran Ran again, but she was hit so badly because of you. My Ran Ran is just too pitiful; you can't let her down; otherwise, I'll break your leg!"
Mother Yang narrowed her eyes at Yang Chi and walked away from his ward.
Yang Chi: Who exactly is your real child? Am I adopted?
However, the behavior of Yue Ran, who sacrificed her life to save his, completely overturned his previous preconceptions of her.
Yue Ran…
It turns out that she is, as his mother has repeatedly said, a good girl...
"Yang Chi's favorability +2"
"Yang Chi's favorability +2"
"Yang Chi's favorability +2"
"Yang Chi's favorability +1"
"Yang Chi's current favorability is 77"
