“Alright, alright, no problem, I’ll be there right away,” Zuo Tianfeng’s expression changed repeatedly, “Thank you for your help.”
Zuo Xianyu frowned, “Dad, what’s going on?”
“Your brother had a car accident,” Zuo Tianfeng hurriedly dressed, his tone filled with frustration, “Told him not to drink and drive, and now he’s landed himself in the hospital again.”
“I’ll come with you,” Zuo Xianyu stood up, “Has the driver who caused the accident been caught?”
“What driver?” Zuo Tianfeng was visibly upset, “He was the one driving the wrong way and hit someone. We should pray the other person is fine.”
Zuo Xianyu exhaled, “Okay, I’ll bring my bank card.”
They quickly headed to Lin City’s First Hospital.
Zuo Zonghe’s leg was in a cast, and he was hooked up to an IV.
“Driving under the influence, are you trying to kill yourself?” Zuo Tianfeng slapped him immediately when he saw him, “You’re lucky this time. You could have died.”
“Dad, it’s not my fault,” Zuo Zonghe argued, his face flushed, “I only had a little drink, I was sober. But for some reason, my hand twitched and turned the steering wheel.”
He didn’t mention the weirdest part.
He clearly hadn’t pressed the accelerator, yet the car sped up.
It was downright bizarre.
“Stop making excuses,” Zuo Tianfeng said grimly, “One more incident like this and the Zuo family stop caring about you From today, your bank cards are all suspended. Stay home!”
With that, he went out to negotiate with the victim.
As long as the victim was alive, whether injured or disabled, money could settle it.
“Xianyu, it’s really not my fault,” Zuo Zonghe complained, “Convince Dad. How can I live without a bank card?”
“Dad’s right. You better stay home,” Zuo Xianyu didn’t agree, ‘You just got out of the hospital and now you’re back in. You’re just making us a laughing stock.” Zuo Zonghe was too angry to speak.
“Brother, don’t you still have thoughts on Si Fuqing?” Zuo Xianyu suddenly spoke, “After a while, when the operation in the barren mountain starts, I’ll bring her to you.”
“Barren mountain?” Zuo Zonghe was surprised, “Which barren mountain?”
“The mine under Jingcheng Real Estate. We thought there were minerals, but the survey found nothing,” Zuo Xianyu explained briefly, “Si Fuqing paid 2 billion for it. Dad transferred the mountain to her. She didn’t even look at what kind of mountain it was before signing the contract.”
“I see,” Zuo Zonghe nodded, looking weak, “I don’t understand business, just handle it. Just bring Si Fuqing to my bed.”
“Okay,” Zuo Xianyu stood up, “I’m heading home then.”
“What’s going on with our family?” Zuo Zonghe wondered, “Did we offend some evil spirit?”
Zuo Xianyu stopped, turning sharply, “You feel it too?”
“What’s with that look?” Zuo Zonghe shivered under her gaze, “I was just saying. You’re not seriously believing this, are you? You’re as superstitious as those old women.”
“I just have a bad feeling,” Zuo Xianyu pursed her lips, “Rest well. I’ll visit you another day.”
Zuo Zonghe dismissed her, “Go, go, just remember about Si Fuqing.”
After Zuo Xianyu left, Zuo Zonghe felt drained and soon fell asleep.
On the other side, Si Fuqing and Gu Wenzhu had finished their meal and were now on the street.
“Hey,” Gu Wenzhu glanced at her, “Your complexion looks much better than before. Have you been skipping meals again?”
“No,” Si Fuqing pinched her own cheek, “I’ve been eating well recently, almost turned into a little chubby.”
The food at the boss’s home was indeed excellent.
Gu Wenzhu scrutinized her closely, puzzled, “Strange, you look radiant.”
Si Fuqing mused, “Ah, then I guess I’ve regained a lot.”
JI Xingzhi’s call came at that moment, “Big brother, feeling good, aren’t you? All thanks to me, right?”
“Mhmm,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Thanks.”
“Hey, it’s nothing. Big brother, let’s go. I found a great place. I’m treating you to a meal,” JI Xingzhi sounded excited, “Hey, I never really went out when I was in the JI family. I’m going to enjoy it this time.”
“I’m busy tonight,” Si Fuqing declined, “I’m having dinner with someone outside..”
