Lou Xi was shocked. He quickly turned the steering wheel, moved the car out of the dense traffic, parked on the side of the narrow road, and decided to chase on foot. When he raised his eyes, he found that Ye Xingchen beside him was completely stunned. He
He reached out and pushed her, "Xingchen?"
"Huh?" Ye Xingchen suddenly came to his senses, quickly suppressed the gloom in his heart, and said hurriedly, "I'm fine, go find Jing Sa quickly!"
As she was about to open the door, Lou Xi grabbed her and said, "I'll just go. You and Sisi are waiting for me here!"
Ye Xingchen looked pale and nodded. She couldn't run around with Sisi in her arms. Besides, her legs were a little weak, so she shouldn't cause trouble.
Lou Xi shook her hand vigorously, then opened the car door and quickly got out of the car.
"Be careful!" she shouted.
Lou Xi didn't know if he heard it, but the tall figure ran away quickly.
Ye Xingchen was very anxious, but he could only hold Sisi in his arms and wait.
A few hundred meters ahead, Jing Sa's BMW M6 collided with a Volkswagen Passat, but fortunately it was not serious because the Passat was parked at the time. The parents of the students got off the car and went to pick up their children at the school gate.
No one, Jing Sa rear-ended her. She actually stepped on the brake, but because of the effect of alcohol, her consciousness was not very clear, so she didn't step on it firmly, and the car still hit her, but she had already braked after all, and
She was wearing a seat belt, and no one was injured. It was just the effect of inertia that caused her forehead to touch, causing some scratches. Such a collision made her sober from the alcohol, but she was still a little numb, sitting in the driver's seat.
Unable to move.
Lou Xi ran toward the crowd and saw Jing Sa's car parked there, and she was still in the car. She seemed fine. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward quickly, opened the car door, and opened the car door.
She helped him out.
"Are you OK?"
Jing Sa slowly raised her head and saw the man she had longed for appear at this moment. Her emotions collapsed and her eyes immediately turned red. Before Lou Xi could comfort her, the owner of the Passat rushed up.
The car owners were a middle-aged couple who stopped by to pick up their daughter from school after get off work, but they didn’t expect the car to be hit by someone just after it stopped. When they saw the BMW M6, they knew it. This car was 10 times more expensive than theirs. He couldn't get enough, so he decided to blackmail him and asked for 50,000 yuan.
Of course Jing Sa didn't care about money, but at this time he felt aggrieved and his temper was rising, "Why do you need 50,000 yuan? How much does your car cost? The highest-end Passat is only 300,000 yuan, and yours is only a mid-level one, and
It’s an old car, you want 50,000 from me? Are you trying to blackmail me? I’ll give you 5,000 at most! Do you want it if you love me?”
When she said this, the car owner also became anxious, "Hey, what's your attitude? Are you still reasonable if you hit our car?"
"I don't care, but I won't blackmail people casually! Why don't I just crash a little bit, and five thousand with you would be great!"
"What are you talking about? Is this just about the car? Didn't you see our daughter? She has to take the exam tomorrow. Now she is frightened. Do you have to pay for mental damages? Can the child withstand being frightened? If she has a baby in the future
Can you take responsibility for the psychological shadow?" The car owner was obviously not a fuel-efficient person, so he moved his daughter out.
However, Jing Sa did not hesitate to give in, "Then what do you want? Do you want me to be responsible for her for the rest of my life?"
"Jing Sa! Stop talking!" Lou Xi stopped her and stopped her from talking so disrespectfully about her image. It was her fault in the first place, and now she is still arguing with others! And he was really a little scared when he saw the little girl.
, the face is slightly pale.
"No, I insist on saying..." Jing Sa's anger and grievances surged in and refused to give up.
"What did you say? Think about your father first!" Lou Xi suddenly shouted loudly, and Jing Sa suddenly stopped speaking, looking sad.
The car owner stopped chewing when he saw Jing Sa, and came towards Lou Xi again. Lou Xi didn't want to get involved with them, and wanted to resolve the matter quickly before the traffic police came, so he said decisively, "Fifty thousand is only fifty thousand, but this
The matter ends here and is settled once and for all!”
"Okay!" the car owner agreed.
The onlookers saw that the two of them were private, and it was no longer a good sight, so they dispersed one after another.
Lou Xi took a deep breath, put Jing Sa back into the car, and then said to the car owner, "One of you will follow me to the bank to withdraw money!"
The male host followed immediately.
There was a self-service bank 200 meters away. Lou Xi swiped his card, took out 50,000 in cash, and paid it to the other party.
That was it, but that was just what he thought.
◎◎◎
Back at the scene of the car accident, Jing Sa was sitting in the car, in a daze. Lou Xi pulled her out again, called someone to tow the car away, then grabbed her arm and said, "I'll take you back!"
Jing Sa remained silent and followed him obediently. However, when he arrived at Lou Xi's car and saw Ye Xingchen there, he suddenly resisted.
Ye Xingchen was also slightly startled. She couldn't wait any longer, so she got out of the car with Sisi in her arms and waited. When she looked up and saw Jing Sa's soulless look, she couldn't help but worry, "Dean Jing, are you okay?"
"You don't need to care!" As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a strong smell of alcohol.
Ye Xingchen frowned subconsciously, not wanting to scare Sisi, and quickly put her back into the car. Lou Xi squeezed Jing Sa's arm and shouted in a deep voice, "Can you calm down? Who are you angry at?"
Seeing him defending Ye Xingchen, Jing Sa became even more rational. Her head was in chaos under the influence of alcohol, and she said indiscriminately, "Do you feel sorry for your wife? Lou Xi, you are really cruel. We have known each other for more than 20 years."
Oh, you scolded me for her?"
"So what if I scolded you? Look at what you look like now? You..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xingchen suddenly interrupted him, "Lou Xi, stop talking! Jing Sa is injured, go to the hospital quickly for treatment!"
Lou Xi suppressed his anger and kept silent. Ye Xingchen went to help Jing Sa and said, "Get in the car first."
Jing Sa didn't appreciate it, and Lou Xi pulled her toward the car door. Jing Sa struggled, accidentally stumbled, and hit the car door. There was a "bang" sound, which startled Sisi inside.
Ye Xingchen quickly got into the car to comfort Sisi. The little girl was well-behaved. She didn't cry or anything, but her little face was full of surprise. Her eyes were staring straight at Jing Sa, as if she didn't understand why she was so fierce.
of.
Jing Sa saw Sisi's defensive look on her face, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. He also remembered that the car owner and his wife had just made fun of their daughter, and his emotions rose again. He threw Lou Xi's arm away and shouted, "My
It’s none of your business! I’ll pay you back the fifty thousand yuan tomorrow!”
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled, what fifty thousand yuan? They... kept it privately?
She felt a thump in her heart and frowned subconsciously. Jing Sa was driving under the influence, but she was just having sex, and she still seems unrepentant!
She bit her lip slightly and her face turned paler.
Her parents died in a car accident that year, and the perpetrator was also driving drunk. Such behavior really cannot be condoned!
"Jing Sa, can you please stop making trouble?" Lou Xi grabbed her and refused to let go, for fear that something would happen if she walked away.
"Yes, I'm just making trouble. You're afraid that I'll get angry at your wife or scare your daughter, so just let me go! No one likes me anyway. The owner of the Passat bullied me, so he just hit me once and for all.
Compensate him with 50,000 yuan, and also be responsible for his daughter’s mental damages!”
Ye Xingchen's eyebrows tightened, were there children at the scene of the car accident?
He clenched his fists subconsciously, trying his best to hold back.
Lou Xi and Jing Sa are still in a stalemate. If possible, he really doesn't want to care about her, but Jing Sa is now drunk, and he can't let her do whatever she wants.
"Get in the car!" He said forcefully again.
But Jing Sa still couldn't deal with it rationally, "I told you I don't need to worry about it! Just take care of your wife and children! You don't need to worry about me being hit to death! Let go..."
Ye Xingchen's heart twisted. Was it her fault to be killed? How many people would a car accident bring disaster to? How many happy families would it be destroyed?
Drunk driving is wrong. It's lucky that everything happened this time, but if she doesn't get a little punishment, she won't remember this lesson. There's no guarantee that there won't be a next time. Can she be so lucky next time? What if she waits?
If you regret something, it will be too late.
"I want to call the police!" She suddenly raised her head and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Lou Xi and Jing Sa were both startled.
"Ha, Lou Xi, you saw it, your good wife feels sorry for your fifty thousand yuan!" Jing Sa had no idea what he was talking about, but every word he said was sarcastic and provocative.
Lou Xi frowned subconsciously, feeling that Xingchen couldn't be because of money. It might be Jing Sa's attitude that irritated her, but Jing Sa was drunk and shouldn't argue with her.
"Xingchen..." he tried to persuade.
"I want to call the police!" Ye Xingchen said again, with a very firm attitude.
"Xingchen, you have to believe me. Jing Sa and I grew up together. Just because I help her doesn't mean that I have anything to do with her!" Lou Xi explained subconsciously, thinking that she had misunderstood him and Jing Sa, so she was jealous for a moment.
.
Ye Xingchen felt depressed, did he think she was such a narrow-minded person? Was she deliberately using this kind of thing to retaliate against Jing Sa because of jealousy?
"Xingchen, stop making trouble, okay?" His deep and mellow voice sounded.
Ye Xingchen was speechless for a moment and raised the corner of his mouth with a wry smile.
Noisy?
So it was her who was causing trouble?
"Just think I'm being willful. I'll call the police anyway!" She said and took out her phone.
Lou Xi was suddenly stunned. Xingchen had always had a good temper and had never been like this before. He was shocked for a moment, but she had already quickly dialed 122.
After a while, the traffic police who received the call arrived. Since this was no longer the first scene, it was difficult to deal with. So they took away Jing Sa's driver's license and prepared to take her back for questioning. But in fact, nothing would happen.
Maximum fines.
Ye Xingchen believed that he had done nothing wrong, and he should not ignore the minor mistakes. Only in this way would Jing Sa learn a lesson, so that he would not dare to drive drunk again in the future, and could avoid causing greater tragedies.
Jing Sa was taken into the car by the traffic police, and she finally came to her senses, but it was already too late. She turned to look at Lou Xi, who was helpless. After all, it was her own fault, so who was to blame.
The police car drove away slowly.
◎◎◎
Ye Xingchen looked away silently, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He hugged Sisi tightly, as if he wanted to get a little warmth.
Lou Xi also returned to the car and looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After starting the engine, the car slowly drove forward. After walking for a while, it felt wrong. The restaurant they had booked was not in this direction.
Lou Xi tightened his grip on the steering wheel. As if something was blocked in his heart, he drove forward for a while and then turned around.
Ye Xingchen also bit his lip slightly. This was the first time they had a head-on conflict in such a long time.
What was originally a good night has now turned into this, leaving me completely speechless.
Sisi didn't understand what happened, but she knew that her parents were not happy, so she was not happy either. Her face was filled with confusion, her mouth was pursed, and she remained silent.
The atmosphere in the carriage dropped to freezing point. It was already dark now, the lights were starting to turn on, and the neon lights on both sides of the road flashed by. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve, and the streets were filled with happy people, but they could not feel a trace of happiness.
Lou Xi's cell phone rang suddenly. When he saw that it was a Beijing number, he immediately frowned. After picking up the call, he interrupted without waiting for the other party to say anything, "Wait a minute, I'll call you later."
After saying that, he hung up.
At the red light ahead, he slowly stopped the car, took a deep breath, looked sideways at Ye Xingchen, and said in a deep voice, "I have something urgent to deal with. I can't go to the restaurant to eat. Can you and Sisi go?"
Ye Xingchen bit his lip and said, "No need, Sisi and I will go back and eat."
Lou Xi's handsome face sank, saying that it was impossible for him not to be angry, but he didn't know what happened to Xingchen. How could she be so kind like this for no reason? He really didn't expect that she would actually call the police, and he wasn't jealous.
As for achieving this level, he knew that she was not an unreasonable person.
Moving his lips, he tried to ask her why, but before the words came out, the phone rang again.
He picked up the answer irritably and growled, "I said I'd call you later!"
The red light ahead turned green, but their car did not move. There was a whistle from behind, so Lou Xi stepped on the accelerator, reached the intersection in front, turned left, and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you home."
Ye Xingchen didn't say anything, but her heart was in over her head. The discomfort was about to overwhelm her, but she still insisted on her choice.
Maybe she offended Jing Sa, but maybe she saved a life and a family. She was right!
The car drove downstairs, and Ye Xingchen got out of the car with Sisi in his arms. He didn't look back, but when he turned around, his eyes were red, and he tried to hold back tears, but his vision was still blurry.
Lou Xi moved his lips, wanting to say something, but finally gave up. He picked up the phone and called back. His eyebrows tightened as he listened. He restarted the car and drove away.
Something happened to Jing Sa's father recently, and he was reported for corruption. Now he has been suspended from his job. People are all realistic. The past glory of the Jing family has disappeared in an instant. All relatives and friends are in danger, fearing that they will be involved in something.
Everybody stayed away.
Jing Sa's only way out was to ask the Lou family for help, but she was in such trouble with him. As proud as she was, she would naturally not ask him for help, but he couldn't just sit idly by.
The Lou family and the Jing family are family friends, and he also believes in Jing's father's character, so he will help no matter whether Jing Sa asks him or not. But he didn't expect such an accident to happen today, and Jing Sa may not be able to figure it out for a while.
, even if he wants to help the Jing family, he still has to communicate with her, but now it seems that she probably doesn’t even want to talk to him anymore, but the situation is forcing them to lose their temper any more, and they won’t seize the time to save Jing’s family.
If the father is cleared of suspicion, the traitor will really succeed. Then, let alone Jing Sa, even he will feel uncomfortable.
◎◎◎
Ye Xingchen carried Sisi upstairs. When the door opened, the room was dark.
I turned on the light, but it still felt like it wasn't bright enough. Something was hanging over my mind, and everything I looked at was just as obscure.
She looked at the time and saw that it was already very late. Sisi had to eat immediately. She put the little girl on the sofa, turned on the TV, found the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" for her to watch, and then went straight to the kitchen to cook.
meal.
But I originally planned to go out to eat, so I didn't prepare anything at home. When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty, not even a vegetable leaf.
My heart was twisted, I didn't know if I was hungry or something, it was very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a small hand grabbed her trouser leg. When he looked down, Sisi didn't even watch his favorite cartoon. He silently walked up to her and gently hugged her legs.
Ye Xingchen felt a mixture of sweetness, warmth and sourness in his heart. He picked up the little girl, kissed her face gently, and choked with sobs, "Sisi, mom will take you to find your godmother, okay?"
The little girl nodded, very well-behaved.
Turning off the lights and lighting the door, the mother and daughter left the house, leaving the room in darkness.
