"It's all my fault. If I had taken you there myself, this wouldn't have happened."
"I want some water."
Su Qiao's throat felt very uncomfortable. She had just woken up and already had to deal with this bastard, which made her extremely impatient.
Qin Yu had thought that after saying all that, Su Qiao would be as moved as she always was and tell him, "It's fine. Your work is more important."
But unexpectedly...
His expression froze. Looking at Su Qiao, who was gazing at him with a pair of watery eyes, he quickly realized what was going on.
"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry. Brother Yu was too careless. I actually forgot that your throat might feel uncomfortable after you woke up."
Su Qiao blinked without saying a word.
She wasn't going to considerately say, "It's fine," like she had in the past.
Bastard. How pleased with yourself.
Qin Yu got up and went to the water dispenser to pour her a glass of water. As he carefully fed it to Su Qiao, he explained without making it obvious:
"Brother Yu was really scared today. My mind was a mess the whole way here, and my heart is still going 'thump, thump.'"
Su Qiao took tiny sips of water.
"Little Four, do you think this man has something wrong with his head? If his heart weren't beating, wouldn't he be dead?"
444: ...He really is a little stupid.
Besides, if it wasn't going "thump, thump," would it be going "click, click" instead?
"Qiaoqiao..."
Su Qiao subtly avoided his hand, put her hand under the covers, and cut him off.
"How's the car?"
Qin Yu thought she was worried about Old Chen's situation and hurriedly comforted her. "The car's gone, so be it. I'll buy you another one later. As for Old Chen..."
"Sigh. No one wanted something like this to happen."
Qin Yu let out a heavy sigh and comfortingly rubbed the top of her head.
"Don't worry, Qiaoqiao. I'll give Old Chen's wife and children some extra compensation."
Heh, compensation?
Old Chen had terminal cancer and was going to die anyway. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like this.
Su Qiao sneered inwardly but didn't say anything unnecessary.
Qin Yu knew that she had always been kindhearted. After pausing for a moment, he explained helplessly:
"Of course, I know that life is priceless and that no amount of money can make up for it. But things have already come to this, and there's nothing we can do."
"But Qiaoqiao, you mustn't overthink this. This has nothing to do with you. If anyone's to blame, it's me. Why didn't I personally pick you up and drop you off today? I was in such a hurry to attend the meeting. I really regret it."
His peripheral vision inadvertently swept over Su Qiao's right ankle, which was in a cast. Qin Yu lowered his eyelids, hiding the trace of anger in his eyes.
The bones in Su Qiao's ankle had suffered a comminuted fracture, and she would have difficulty walking in the future.
He truly hadn't expected Little Yu to do something like this at such a critical moment.
But things had already happened, and there was no way to change them.
"A Yu, what are you talking about?"
Mother Qin hadn't expected to hear those words the moment she arrived, and a wave of pent-up anger immediately clogged her chest.
If she hadn't heard from Little Yu that her son had disregarded his work and left halfway through a meeting to come to the hospital to see this woman, she wouldn't have come at all.
Sure enough, this fox was seducing her A Yu again.
What would happen if this continued?
His entire mind was occupied by this woman. What about the company? What about the Qin family?
"Old Chen had been driving for our Qin family for so many years. He was about to retire and enjoy his old age, but after taking her somewhere just once, he lost his life, while she's still perfectly fine and full of energy."
Mother Qin looked Su Qiao over from every angle and found that fox-like face of hers displeasing no matter how she looked at it.
She was merely an orphan from an insignificant family, yet she had bewitched her son into abandoning everyone for her.
He was even constantly opposing his own mother because of her.
The more Mother Qin thought about it, the angrier she became, and her voice grew louder without her realizing it.
Her eyes were full of contempt, and her somewhat high cheekbones gave her a harsh appearance.
"I told you long ago that her fate was too hard. She brought about the deaths of her own parents, and now she's come to bring disaster to the people of our Qin family too."
