The Overbearing CEO's Little Wildcat (14)

"It's all my fault. If I had driven you myself, none of this would have happened."

"I want water."

Su Qiao's throat felt terrible, and having to deal with this jerk right after waking up made her incredibly impatient.

Qin Yu had expected that after saying what he did, Su Qiao would, as usual, look touched and tell him, "It's fine, your work is more important."

But to his surprise…

He paused, then quickly reacted as he saw Su Qiao looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.

"Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry. Brother Yu was too careless and forgot that your throat might be uncomfortable after waking up."

Su Qiao blinked, saying nothing.

She wasn't going to be as understanding as before and say, "It's fine."

Jerk, he wishes I would.

Qin Yu got up to pour her a glass of water from the dispenser. As he carefully helped her drink, he subtly explained,

"Brother Yu was really scared today. My mind was a mess on the way here, and my heart is still pounding."

Su Qiao took small sips of water.

"Little Four, do you think this man has something wrong with his brain? Wouldn't he be dead if his heart wasn't pounding?"

444: […He's a bit silly, indeed.]

[Besides, if it's not 'pounding,' what else would it be? 'Clicking'?]

"Qiao Qiao…"

Su Qiao subtly avoided his hand, tucking hers under the covers, and interrupted him.

"How's the car?"

Qin Yu thought she was worried about Old Chen, so he quickly reassured her, "The car is gone, it's gone. I'll buy you another one later. As for Old Chen…"

"Sigh, nobody wants something like this to happen."

He sighed heavily and gently rubbed her head in comfort.

"Don't worry, Qiao Qiao. I'll compensate Old Chen's wife and children with more money."

Hmph, compensate?

Old Chen has a terminal illness; he was going to die anyway. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like this.

Su Qiao sneered inwardly but said nothing more.

Qin Yu knew she was always kind-hearted. After a moment, he explained with a helpless expression,

"Of course, I know that life is priceless, and no amount of money can truly make up for it. But since things have come to this, there's nothing else to be done."

"But Qiao Qiao, please don't overthink it. This has nothing to do with you. If anyone's to blame, it's me for not picking you up myself today and rushing off to a meeting. I truly regret it."

His gaze inadvertently swept over Su Qiao's plastered right ankle. Qin Yu lowered his eyelids, hiding a flicker of annoyance.

Su Qiao's ankle had a comminuted fracture, and she would have difficulty walking in the future.

He truly hadn't expected Xiao Yu to do something like this at such a critical moment.

But since it had happened, there was no use dwelling on it.

"A Yu, what kind of talk is that?"

Mother Qin hadn't expected to hear such words the moment she arrived, and a surge of irritation immediately clogged her chest.

If Xiao Yu hadn't told her that her son had abandoned his work, leaving a meeting halfway through to rush to the hospital to see this woman, she wouldn't have come at all.

Sure enough, this vixen was seducing her A Yu again.

What would happen if this continued?

With all his thoughts focused on this woman, what about the company? What about the Qin Family?

"Old Chen has been driving for our Qin Family for so many years. He was about to retire and enjoy his golden years, but he drove her once and lost his life, while she's perfectly fine."

Mother Qin looked at Su Qiao from every angle, simply unable to stand that seductive face of hers.

An orphaned girl from a humble background had actually bewitched her son to the point where he wanted no one else but her.

And he constantly went against her, his own mother, because of her.

The more Mother Qin thought about it, the angrier she got, and her voice unconsciously grew louder.

Her eyes held disdain, and her slightly high cheekbones gave her a harsh look.

"I've long said her fate is too strong; she brought death to her own parents, and now she's bringing it to our Qin Family."
