Jiang Nuan spoke truthfully, her tone relaxed, "Mom, I was shot, but I dodged quickly. It only hit my arm, so I'm fine."
It was strange, her left hand had been hit by bullets several times already.
She felt quite lucky. This hand had saved her every time.
"Oh my! Rest well during this time, don't think about company matters." Jin Yan was still heartbroken, feeling that as a young woman, why did she have to work so hard? Their family wasn't lacking money.
It was best for her daughter to be healthy, gentle, and cute, and to be happy was the greatest joy.
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan knew her mother's temper and always went along with it.
"Yunyun, Grandma made your favorite pork rib congee, eat some quickly."
As soon as Jin Yan finished speaking, Lu Jincheng opened the thermos.
Mu Jiuchen also met them, mother and son, and came up with them, having not bought food.
He took the thermos and sat by the bed, feeding his daughter.
Lu Jincheng then gave the other portion to Jiang Nuan.
"It smells so good, Mom's cooking is always the best." Jiang Nuan ate the pork rib congee, smiling happily!
This was the happiness of having family. In the past, when she was injured, only Nanzhou or Yuan Yuan accompanied her. It felt like something was missing, but it was still very happy.
Jiang Nuan's smile grew brighter. Seeing her happy, Mu Jiuchen's worries eased.
Lu Jincheng and Jin Yan stayed until past ten o'clock. Visiting hours were over, and the nurse had urged them several times before the mother and son reluctantly left.
Lu Jincheng went downstairs to get the car, and Jin Yan waited for him at the main entrance.
As Lu Jincheng drove the car out of the gate and was about to merge onto the road, an old woman suddenly walked over and fell in front of the car.
Lu Jincheng was startled and slammed on the brakes.
He pulled the handbrake and quickly got out of the car to check.
"Old lady, are you alright?" Lu Jincheng crouched down to look at the old woman.
The old woman looked pained, glanced at him, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Jin Yan also hurried over.
How could she have hit someone?
"Old lady, are you alright? Are you injured?" Lu Jincheng asked again.
The old woman looked at Lu Jincheng with pain, "How can I be alright? Look at my leg, I can't even walk? Whether I'm injured or not, we'll know after a check-up at the hospital. If you're in a hurry, just give me tens of thousands of yuan to settle it. If you're not in a hurry, we'll go to the hospital. The hospital is right here anyway."
Lu Jincheng saw that the old woman's voice was strong and she didn't seem too injured.
He vaguely recalled that he hadn't actually hit the old woman.
The old woman suddenly walked down from the sidewalk, which startled him.
Jin Yan knew that old people could be difficult to deal with, and sometimes it was better to give them tens of thousands of yuan to avoid trouble.
Jin Yan said, "Xiaocheng, give her the money."
Lu Jincheng didn't think so. Since he had hit someone, he wanted to take her to the hospital for a check-up before he could be relieved.
"Old lady, shall I find a doctor to examine you? Although, I'm also a doctor, let me take a look first."
"What? You're a doctor?" The old woman suddenly became a little flustered.
"Yes, I studied surgery. Did you hit your knee?"
The old woman, being experienced, immediately said, "You say you're a doctor, so you're a doctor? Can you tell if my leg is injured just by looking? The impact just now was quite strong, I must have internal injuries?"
Lu Jincheng was very puzzled, "Old lady, my car was barely moving, not even 30 kilometers per hour, and I was about to stop. I only bumped into you as the car was coming to a halt. How could there be internal injuries?"
"But I feel uncomfortable all over, and my head is dizzy."
The old woman clutched her head with both hands.
"Oh dear, why is my life so hard? I was hit by a car just walking, what kind of fate is this?" The old woman moaned incessantly.
Jin Yan also became anxious, worried that something serious might happen to the old woman.
"Xiaocheng, you stay here with the old lady, I'll go in and call a doctor."
The old woman squinted at Jin Yan, clearly a wealthy wife unfamiliar with hardship. Today, she had encountered a big spender and was determined to extort a good sum.
"What doctor? My children are all out of town and don't have time to come back. If you take me to the hospital, will you help me with my bodily needs?"
Jin Yan: "..."
She didn't mind taking care of her own elderly.
As for other people's elderly, she was sorry, but she did mind.
"Then what do you want?" Jin Yan asked the old woman, confused. Wouldn't going to the hospital be more convenient?
"Oh, right, I can find a caregiver for you." Jin Yan suddenly realized.
"I'm not going to the hospital, I hate hospitals. Just give me tens of thousands of yuan, and I'll lie down at home and treat myself." The old woman thought they were two fools and was overjoyed.
She quickly signaled to the middle-aged man not far away.
Upon seeing this, the man hurried over.
"Oh my! Auntie, what happened? Why are you lying on the ground?"
"Second one, is that you? Please help me, this kid hit me, and he's not going to pay?"
Lu Jincheng: "..."
He hadn't fled the scene, nor had he ignored the old lady, so how did he become someone who wouldn't pay?
"No, sir, I wanted to take the old lady to the hospital, but she refused," Lu Jincheng explained.
"What hospital? My aunt's children all work outside. Who will take care of her if she goes to the hospital? Just give her tens of thousands of yuan to settle it privately, and let my aunt see a Chinese medicine doctor and brew her own medicine at home. She'll be more comfortable too."
"This..." Lu Jincheng felt something was off.
"What is this? Kid, you hit someone, don't you intend to take responsibility?" The middle-aged man's voice suddenly turned cold and sarcastic.
More and more people were gathering to watch.
Lin Yuxin had just finished her night shift.
Passing by, she thought there was a patient and walked a few steps forward. Upon seeing them, she realized it was these two again.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, she remembered the incident at the traffic light a few days ago and quickly walked over.
She looked at Lu Jincheng, who was about to pay to settle the matter.
Lin Yuxin walked over and looked at him, "Do you have a lot of money? Can't you see they're trying to scam you?"
Lu Jincheng, seeing it was the on-duty doctor from yesterday, was surprised by her words, "Scam, what is scam?"
Lin Yuxin: "..."
Where did this young master come from?
He didn't even understand what scamming was?
Jin Yan, however, reacted and glared at the old woman, saying angrily, "I knew it was strange. You refused to go to the hospital but wanted tens of thousands of yuan. So you're a scammer."
"Young lady, I advise you not to meddle. If my aunt's condition worsens, you will be legally liable." The middle-aged man, seeing his scheme being foiled and his potential gain vanishing, looked at Lin Yuxin with malice.
Lin Yuxin frowned slightly but didn't seem particularly scared.
Lu Jincheng also realized what was happening belatedly, and seeing the murderous look in the man's eyes, he became angry, "You dare to be rude to her again, try it?"
Lin Yuxin looked at him in surprise.
He was protecting her!
Lin Yuxin felt a very subtle emotion in her heart.
Lu Jincheng pulled Lin Yuxin behind him, "I'm calling the police."
