The guy in the passenger seat occasionally turned his head to look at the two people in the back seat.
Shen Jingrou also noticed that the guy kept staring at them. The concern on his face seemed genuine, and the scene of him arguing with a girl earlier flashed in Shen Jingrou’s mind.
Shen Jingrou said softly, "Don’t worry, we’ll be at the hospital soon."
Seeing the guy’s eyes fall on her, he knew she was trying to comfort him. Feeling both touched and guilty, he said, "I’m sorry for getting you involved, and for also letting..."
The guy’s gaze fell on An Yin as he continued, "also letting your friend get hurt."
Since the incident had already happened, Shen Jingrou didn’t want to continue pursuing accountability. The priority now was An Yin’s eyes. To prevent the guy from falling into further guilt, Shen Jingrou looked at him and asked, "Is the girl you argued with your girlfriend?"
Upon hearing this, the guy thought Shen Jingrou wanted to cause trouble, so he quickly said, "The entire matter is my fault, not hers. I will cover the expenses for your friend’s injury!" After hesitating for a few seconds, the guy spoke decisively.
"No need to be nervous, I’m just purely curious about your relationship." Shen Jingrou couldn’t help but look at him differently as he willingly took on responsibility.
The guy didn’t look very old and had a delicate appearance with clear bright eyes, giving off a scholarly temperament.
"We were in a relationship, but we just... broke up." After hearing Shen Jingrou’s words, the guy relaxed and answered her question truthfully.
After he finished speaking, there was no emotional fluctuation on Shen Jingrou’s face, but fearing he would be sad, she didn’t press the topic, "What’s your name?"
"Gu Qingyun!" he replied sincerely.
"Nice name." Shen Jingrou genuinely praised and introduced herself, "I’m Shen Jingrou, and she is An Yin!"
Gu Qingyun lowered his head shyly, not really knowing how to compliment others, and awkwardly said, "Your names are pretty nice, too."
Shen Jingrou looked at his silly demeanor and suddenly felt that the guy reminded her a bit of An Yin, as they were both very simple people.
Being with them felt refreshing!
A luxurious car quickly drove into T City’s top-tier hospital. Gu Qingyun, seeing the towering building in the distance, felt quite apprehensive. However, he had already spoken out, so he would find a way to cover the medical expenses.
Shen Jingrou also didn’t notice the commotion outside and gently patted An Yin’s shoulder to calm the little girl, who was quietly sobbing.
When the car stopped, Shen Jingrou thought it was the driver opening the door. She had only uttered a "Tha..." when she looked up to meet a pair of cold, sharp eyes.
"B... Brother!" Shen Jingrou looked incredulously at the man standing so close, stammering out her words.
The guy in the front seat immediately opened the car door and got out. Seeing the two rows of doctors in white coats not too far away, Gu Qingyun felt at a loss, thinking the situation seemed excessive. When he turned his head, he saw a man in a black suit open the rear car door. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
The man exuded a domineering and powerful aura, and at that moment seemed to radiate anger, making the surrounding air feel cold to those near him.
"Get out!" Bao Shaojin’s deep gaze fell on An Yin, but his words were directed at Shen Jingrou.
Hearing this, Shen Jingrou immediately got out without a word, seeing her normally stern brother carefully get into the car and gently carry An Yin out.
His movements were gentle, fearing he might hurt the little girl in his arms.
His focus was so intense that it seemed as if nothing around him had anything to do with him, especially when he heard the faint sobbing inside the car, his hardened face filled with an almost pathological severity.
Although Shen Jingrou was accustomed to witnessing significant events, seeing Bao Shaojin holding An Yin still left her shocked.
Recently, rumors in their circle were saying that her brother was attentive to his cousin’s girlfriend...
If people found out, it wasn’t just care, but actually coveting!
As Shen Jingrou was stunned, An Yin was already placed on a stretcher pushed by emergency personnel.
"What’s wrong with her?" The leading doctor in a white coat looked toward them, and Bao Shaojin stood beside the stretcher, his eyes like a sharp blade piercing the two who had come along.
Shen Jingrou had not yet recovered from her earlier shock.
Upon seeing the doctor inquire, Gu Qingyun quickly stepped forward, "She got the stinky tofu sauce splashed in her eyes; it was extra spicy."
Before he finished speaking, his collar was suddenly grabbed, and he was lifted off the ground.
"Did you do it?" Bao Shaojin’s eyes carried a murderous gleam, and as his grip tightened, in the blink of an eye, Gu Qingyun felt short of breath, his face reddening.
Gu Qingyun struggled desperately to push away the man before him, but the other was far too strong; with his collar tightened around his throat, he was thoroughly at a disadvantage.
"Brother, it wasn’t intentional, it was all a coincidence. Brother, let go!"
Bao Shaojin’s movements were so swift that by the time Shen Jingrou reacted, Gu Qingyun’s breathing had already become rapid, and without thinking, she rushed forward to intervene.
Could this still be the brother who remained unchanged even when Mount Tai collapsed before him? This was too savage!
A soft and sticky voice rang out. Perhaps because she had cried for too long, her voice was a bit hoarse.
When An Yin was carried out of the car, she caught a familiar scent. Among the people she knew, there was one whose fragrance was the same as this one, making her forget to cry and wonder why she kept thinking about Bao Shaojin.
It wasn’t until she was placed on the stretcher, and with her eyes tightly covered, did she realize she didn’t know what the atmosphere and surroundings were like.
When she heard someone speaking, followed by a familiar male voice, An Yin’s heart began to pound intensely. Was it him?
While An Yin was lost in thought, she heard Sister Jingrou’s anxious voice, realizing something was wrong, she couldn’t help but call out the man’s name.
Once An Yin shouted "Bao Shaojin," everyone held their breath, and by then Shen Jingrou, having enough shocks for one day, calmed down.
Particularly after seeing her brother release Gu Qingyun’s throat upon hearing An Yin’s words, Shen Jingrou approached Gu Qingyun apologetically, "Don’t take it to heart!"
Gu Qingyun took several deep breaths, and once the feeling of suffocation subsided, he replied, "I know." After all, he was the one at fault, causing the injury.
