Chapter 89: An Accident?
For the past few days, Qi Yun felt like she was in a dream. Although she did not do well in the college entrance examination, it did not matter. She could repeat her studies. Her grandmother’s illness could not be treated because she lacked money, but now she also had a sum of money to treat it.
And all these came from the person she met on the day of the college entrance examination. A person that she was extremely annoyed with at first.
“I’ll help you.”
Qi Yun would never forget that day. The blue sky, the white clouds, the sea of people, and the angel-like girl in front of her.
Qi Yun was currently studying at a private high school. She was in her third year of high school and would be doing three rounds of revision.
After a morning of studying, Qi Yun went to the hospital during her lunch break to visit her grandmother, who had just undergone surgery and had stabilized her condition.
Grandma Qi had just woken up and was in a good mental state. When she saw Qi Yun coming over, she could still sit up for a while. The corners of her mouth were filled with a kind smile. “Come, Yunyun. Come sit beside Grandma for a while.”
Every time Qi Yun saw such a scene, her eyes would burn and her nose would sting. She never thought that there would be a day where she could see her own grandmother safely in front of her.
“Aiyo, you child, why are you crying?” Grandma Qi’s voice was still gentle. “That girl called Su Yan is our great benefactor. You have to repay her kindness and not do anything to let her down.”
Qi Yun felt a little uncomfortable from Grandma Qi’s words and said awkwardly, “Grandma, can you not make me sound like some peerless scumbag?”
Grandma Qi asked, “What is a scumbag?”
Qi Yun didn’t reply to her. Instead, she laughed. At first, she laughed lightly. Then, her laughter got louder and louder. Grandma Qi was influenced by her laughter and started laughing as well. As she laughed, she even tapped Qi Yun’s nose. The two of them were very happy.

Yun Chang heard about Qi Yun from Su Yan and secretly asked someone to investigate. In the end, he found out that what Qi Yun said was basically true. He clicked his tongue and said, “Alright, just treat Qi Yun as a student funded by our Yun family every year.”
With regards to this, Su Yan did not feel that there was anything wrong. Qi Yun was just a stranger that she met by chance. Su Yan was only touched by Qi Yun’s story.
Touching her chest, Su Yan thought, That’s right, I was just touched.
After the self-deception ended, Su Yan looked forward to her future. In this life, she had gone through the college entrance examination and would have a completely different future from her previous life.
She checked the answers for the college entrance examination papers. The questions were not difficult and she could guarantee that she would score more than 700 marks. She did not know which school would be better.
However, before Su Yan could complete her application, she received a piece of news.
Lu Ye was in a car accident.
Two days ago, because the Yun family’s bid had been leaked, the Yun family no longer competed for the land in the east of the city. Therefore, Lu Yi won the bid with absolute advantage.
Lu Ye was pleased with himself and decided to go out with his friends. However, before the gathering started, Lu Ye got into a car accident on his way to the bar.
The car in front suddenly braked, causing Lu Ye to collide to the rear end of that car.
As a spoiled rich kid, Lu Ye naturally wasn’t law-abiding and would buckle his seatbelt at any time. Hence, because of inertia, Lu Ye clashed and came into close contact with the broken glass shards.
When Lu Ye woke up again, he was already in the hospital.
Lu Ye, who had regained consciousness, was naturally dumbfounded. When the pain on his face woke him up, he wailed and covered his face until Lu Yi came over.
However, when Lu Yi looked at Lu Ye, her eyes didn’t have the love and worry that a father should have. Instead, they were cold, as if he was looking at a useless chess piece.
Lu Ye sensed Lu Yi’s arrival and wailed, “Dad, go look for him! We have to find the guy who caused my accident. I want to let him have a taste of having his face cut by glass.”
Lu Ye’s face was seriously injured and his entire head was wrapped in gauze. Lu Yi was annoyed just by looking at him and wanted to tell his son not to create any more trouble at this critical juncture. However, seeing his son like this, Lu Yi couldn’t bring himself to say anything. He only responded to Lu Ye’s request perfunctorily and coaxed Lu Ye to sleep.
After the surgery, Lu Ye woke up and made a lot of noise. Lu Ye was very tired and Lu Yi couldn’t coax him for long. Lu Ye’s eyelids couldn’t open and before he fell asleep, he kept mumbling things like ‘I must avenge him’.
This was an accident.
The police had already stepped in to investigate. The cause of the accident was a small dog that suddenly appeared in front of them. The car in front had no choice but to avoid it. The car in front was responsible and the owner was very cooperative, willing to compensate Lu Ye for his loss. However, if Lu Ye wanted to pursue anything else, it would be impossible.
The whole thing seemed very logical from the beginning to the end, but Lu Yi still felt uneasy.
