Chapter 240
240 A small car accident
Lin Li turned her head away, not looking at her begging face. It was really ironic and laughable. What was the point of saying all this now?
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cheng couldn’t care less. She knew that she was the only one who could save her son now. She grabbed her hand and cried, ” Lin Li, I’m begging you, just take it as Auntie is begging you. Go to the hospital to see Chengxiang and persuade him to cooperate with the treatment. He has bone cancer, and the doctor said that if he doesn’t get surgery, he will die. I only have one son, I can’t watch him die. Lin Li, go see him, go see him.
Lin Li’s heart trembled, and she looked at her speechlessly.
Bone cancer! What a terrifying term …
Lin Li, go and see him. Just one look is good. Auntie only has one son, Chengxiang. Auntie really can’t live without him. Cheng Zheng’s mother said and cried. At this moment, she didn’t care about her manners. Seeing that Lin Li didn’t agree, she knelt down directly. I beg you, I’ll kneel down and beg you, okay? it was all auntie’s fault in the past. Auntie will apologize to you. Please go and see Chengxiang, go and see him, okay? ”
“You, don’t be like this.” Lin Li hurriedly reached out to help her up. No matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment she had for her, she was still an elder. How could she accept this?
“So you’ll agree?” Cheng Zheng’s mom got up and held Lin Li’s hand tightly, her face still wet with tears. you promised Auntie to visit Cheng Xiang, didn’t you? ”
She really didn’t have any other way. Ever since they found out that their son was sick, she and Chengxiang’s father had really thought of every possible way. The doctor said that the cancer cells had already spread to his right thigh, and the only way was to amputate it. When she heard that, she fainted on the spot. However, if this was the final solution, when compared to their son’s life, they could only grit their teeth and accept this reality no matter how unwilling they were. However, when Chengxiang heard that amputation was required, he refused no matter what. He said that he couldn’t accept that he would be a cripple for the rest of his life. If that was the case, he would rather die in one piece. But, but if he died, how could she and her father live? they only had one son, Chengxiang!
They had asked Xiaoxiao to persuade him, but Cheng Xiang didn’t even want to see Xiaoxiao. Every time Xiaoxiao came, she would throw a tantrum and ask the person who had smashed things to get out, saying that the person he didn’t want to see the most in his life was Xiaoxiao because she had caused him to lose everything. It was also at that time that they knew that their son truly loved Lin Li and not because of guilt, so she had wanted Lin Li to persuade him. Perhaps he would listen to Lin Li, but when he found out that she had called Lin Li, At that time, he had lost his temper and told her not to disturb Lin Li’s life. That night, he had a high fever and even affected the deterioration of his condition. The doctor said that his illness could not be delayed any longer. Although it was difficult to make a decision, he had to quickly decide whether to undergo the operation or not.
That was why she came here to beg Lin Li behind Chengxiang’s back. Now, she could only hope that Lin Li would go to the hospital to see him and that Chengxiang would really be willing to listen to Lin Li’s advice.
Lin Li looked at her. She didn’t know what she was feeling right now. She made up her mind not to look back because the pain from that time was still vivid in her mind. Every time she faced that man, she would remember his determination at the wedding. She would always remember the feeling when the child disappeared from her body bit by bit. She really didn’t want to experience that kind of pain again.
Lin Li pulled her hand away and turned her head to avoid looking at her. She closed her eyes in pain and only said, ” “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” With that, he gritted his teeth and was about to leave.
Seeing that she was leaving, Mrs. Cheng knelt on the ground and begged, ” Lin Li, I’m begging you! I’m begging you!”
Lin Li stopped. She bit her lips so hard that it hurt, and her hand that was holding her bag also clenched tightly.
Such a scene attracted the attention of the people walking around the building. More and more people gathered around, including Special Assistant Xu who had just returned from work. Seeing this, he quickly squeezed through the crowd and looked at Lin Li and then at Mrs. Cheng who was kneeling on the ground. Secretary Lin, what’s going on? ”
Lin Li didn’t look at him but at Mrs. Cheng who was kneeling on the ground. She bit her lip so hard that it almost bled. In the end, she didn’t say anything and turned to walk directly to the parking lot.
Cheng Zheng’s mom knelt on the ground and cried out Lin Li’s name.
As Lin Li drove, her mind was filled with what Cheng Zheng’s mom had just said.
She didn’t think that Chengxiang would actually fall sick, and it was even bone cancer. She remembered the last time she saw Chengxiang, it was on the way back from eating KFC with the little guy. He looked very Haggard that day, so he was already sick that day?
She closed her eyes in pain. It was impossible to say that she didn’t feel anything at all. She was so frustrated that she couldn’t tell what she was feeling at the moment.
“Bang!”
There was a loud crash. Lin Li didn’t understand the situation, and her whole body was thrown forward. Her head hit the steering wheel in front of her. The pain made her groan involuntarily. She held her head with her hand and felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable.
Before he could recover from the shock, someone knocked on the window. He turned around and saw a big man standing outside. He had a big beard and looked a little scary.
Lin Li turned her head and realized that her car had directly hit the small truck in front of her.
pa, pa, pa … the burly man outside the car slammed his hand on the window again when he saw that no one had gotten out of the car for a long time, as if he wouldn’t stop until he got out.
Lin Li rubbed her head and opened the door. Before she could say anything, the burly man opposite her immediately shouted, ” do you know how to drive? did you see the red light? damn it, my car was parked like this and you still hit it. Are you blind? ”
Lin Li knew she was in the wrong, so she didn’t say much and only apologized, ” I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll pay for the car repair fees.
Hearing Lin Li’s words, the burly man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Li. no need to go through so much trouble. Just pay me directly. You can just give me the money.
Lin Li didn’t have the mood to talk to him. She just wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, so she nodded and asked, ” “How much is the maintenance fee?”
Seeing that Lin Li was easy to talk to, the man obviously wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. He directly asked for an exorbitant price, ” “Your car broke my bumper and rear light, so I’ll let you off with the 2000 Yuan.”
“2000!”Lin Li’s eyes widened. It was her fault for hitting his car, and she wouldn’t shirk this responsibility, but it didn’t mean that she had to be a sucker because of this. She pointed at his car and said, ” “Bro, what kind of car do you think you’re driving? the bumper and tail light cost 2000? why don’t you just rob a bank!”
“What? you don’t want to pay for hitting my car?” The man looked at Lin Li with half-closed eyes and rolled up his sleeves.
Lin Li wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Back in school, she had stood up for him many times, so naturally, she wouldn’t be scared off by him. She took a step forward and said, ” 200 yuan. It’s up to you whether you want it or not. If you don’t want it, we’ll call the police.
“200? you think I’m a beggar?” The burly man was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said ruthlessly, ” let me tell you, there’s no one in Jiang city who doesn’t know me, brother Biao. Today, you won’t be able to leave without 2000 Yuan!
Lin Li looked straight at him, not a single bit of fear on her face. brother Biao, right? I’m not scared. If you don’t want the 200 yuan, we’ll call the police directly and let the police handle it. I can’t guarantee if there will be 200 yuan after the deal is done.
“I think you’re looking for death, woman.” That big brother Biao was really a little angered. He raised his fist and was about to punch Lin Li, but before his fist could reach Lin Li’s head, it was intercepted in mid-air.
For a moment, Lin Li was really frightened. She thought that the fist was definitely going to land on her face, so when the fist was intercepted by someone, she was really stunned. She turned her head to look, but she didn’t expect that it was actually someone she knew.
Ye Ziwen smiled at her. are you alright? ”
Only then did Lin Li come back to her senses and nod. She had an impression of this man and knew that he was a friend of Zhou han and su Yicheng.
Ye Ziwen nodded and turned to look at brother Biao,”This brother, isn’t it too lacking in class to hit a woman?”
“Where the F * ck did you come from? how dare you meddle in my business!” Big brother Biao’s hand was grabbed by ye Ziwen and he shouted at him. He reached out and wanted to break free, but he couldn’t get rid of his hand no matter what.
Ye Ziwen had a smile on his face the entire time. He forcefully turned his hand over and said with a smile,”I forgot to tell you that I came out from the Army. I haven’t practiced in a long time, and my hands are itchy.”
That big brother Biao was being grabbed by ye Ziwen until he kept shouting, ” let go, let go, let go. My hand is going to break, it’s going to break …
Ye Ziwen sneered and pushed him a few steps away with force.
That big brother Biao lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. He knew that he wasn’t ye Ziwen’s match, so he didn’t dare to be ruthless. He only said, ” damn it, I’m unlucky today. As he said that, he walked straight towards the car.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Li called out to him, ” wait a minute.
“What else do you want?” That big brother Biao was a little impatient, but he was also worried about ye Ziwen who was standing at the side.
Lin Li turned around and took her wallet from the car. She took out 200 yuan and handed it to him, saying, ” “The maintenance fee.”
That brother Biao didn’t dare to say anything more. He only snorted coldly, took the money, and drove away.
Lin Li turned around and thanked ye Ziwen,”Thank you,”
Ye Ziwen did not stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it. He said,”If you want to thank me, ask Zhou han to treat me to a meal another day.”
Lin Li laughed dryly and nodded. The phone in the car rang at this time. It was a call from the kindergarten teacher Chen. Seeing that she hadn’t come to pick up the child today, she specially called to ask.
Lin Li quickly agreed and told teacher Chen to accompany the child for a while. She would be there soon.
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and smiled apologetically at ye Ziwen. He said,”I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first. Thank you for today.”
Ye Ziwen nodded. He looked at the bump on her forehead and said,”Do you need to go to the hospital to get your forehead checked?”
Lin Li reached out to touch it and smiled. I’m fine. He returned to his car and drove away.
As he watched her car drive away, ye Ziwen took out his phone from his pocket and called a certain someone.
The call went through very quickly, but the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a bad mood today. His tone was a little harsh. what’s the matter? ”
“Wow, did you eat gunpowder? you’re so angry.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, if you have something to say, then say it.” Zhou han said impolitely.
Ye Ziwen wasn’t angry. He smiled and said, Zhou han, when are you going to treat me to a meal? I helped your wife take a hit today. No matter what, you should treat me to a meal to express your gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Zhou han asked anxiously, ” what’s going on? ”
” Your wife was driving on the road and trying to extort money. That person was trying to extort money from her and wanted to hit her. ” Ye Ziwen said indifferently.
“Is she okay?”
” She’s fine, but I think her forehead might have been touched. It’s a little red and swollen. ” As ye Ziwen spoke, he wanted to take the opportunity to knock him down. ” How is it? when are you coming out for a walk? ”
Before he could finish, the busy tone came from the other side of the phone.
After getting off the phone and staring at the screen for a while, ye Ziwen couldn’t help but burst out, ” wow, did you have to hang up so quickly?!
When Lin Li drove home, she was still in a daze. The car was parked in the garage for a while, but she opened the door and got out of the car. She only came back to her senses when the little guy beside her called her.
He smiled apologetically at the little fellow and said somewhat powerlessly, ” “Let’s go up.”
The little guy looked at her steadily. Due to the environment he grew up in, Xiaobin had learned to read people’s expressions at Xiaoxiao’s age. He stared at Lin Li and asked, ” “Auntie, are you not happy today?”
Lin Li was stunned. She reached out to touch his head and shook her head. “No, I’m just a little tired.”
then, Auntie, you should take a nap when you get home. The teacher said that sleeping is the most effective way to relieve fatigue, so all children have to take a nap. The little guy said considerately, his expression like that of a little adult.
Lin Li nodded, pleased. okay.
To her surprise, when Lin Li opened the door and entered the house, she realized that Zhou han had already returned. When he saw her enter, he strode towards her. Before Lin Li could react, he asked with concern, ” “Are you alright?”
Lin Li was stunned. She was surprised that he would come back so early, but she also didn’t understand why he asked this.
Zhou han ignored her shock and stared at the red and swollen forehead. He frowned and said, ” “It’s so swollen. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Only then did Lin Li react. She reached out and touched her forehead. It was still a little painful, so she just brushed her hair to cover her forehead and avoided his eyes.”It’s fine, it’s nothing,” He changed his shoes and walked inside.
She placed Xiao bin’s bag on the sofa in the living room and lowered her head to ask the child, ” “Xiaobin, what do you want to eat for dinner?”
The little guy didn’t answer, but asked worriedly, ” “Auntie, are you sick?”
Lin Li smiled and shook her head. no, Auntie is fine.
“I’ll make dinner. You go back to your room and rest.” Zhou han, who was beside her, spoke as he took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. Then, he walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, Lin Li didn’t say much. She just touched the little guy’s body and said, ” “Auntie is a little tired. Auntie will go back to her room and lie down for a while.”
The little guy nodded considerately and didn’t say anything.
