60: 060 Accident 60: 060 Accident About ten minutes later, Li Shuru returned, her face pale and tinged with a hint of panic.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Chen quickly noticed her unusual deanor.
“My father had an accident.”
Li Shuru was very anxious and, without bothering to explain further, began searching for the nearest available flight on her phone, finding one that was departing in over two hours.
“Sorry, but I need to go back.”
After booking the flight, an anxious Li Shuru grabbed her bag, ready to leave.
“I’ll accompany you,” Jiang Chen said as he stood up too.
Li Shuru looked at him.
“Don’t get wrong, I’m not saying I’ll go ho with you; I an I’ll accompany you to the airport.
You can’t just leave your car there, right?”
There was no ti to think too much, and Li Shuru nodded her head.
The two of them quickly walked outside.
“Please co again soon,” said the restaurant staff as they departed.
Since he had been drinking, it was Li Shuru who drove, with Jiang Chen in the passenger seat.
Li Shuru was so flustered that when pulling out of the parking space, she almost scraped the Toyota Land Cruiser next to her.
“Stay calm, being anxious won’t help anything.”
Jiang Chen handed her the credit card, “Your card.”
“Put it in the bag.”
They hadn’t finished the bottle of Bertus that cost over thirty thousand, but Li Shuru could no longer care about that now.
She brought up the navigation and quickly drove towards the airport.
“What happened to your uncle?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Heart disease.” Li Shuru spoke hurriedly, and Jiang Chen had never seen her so frantic,
“My father’s heart condition has been weak for a long ti, and he was hospitalized for it a few years ago.
Today, he suddenly passed out again.”
“Good people are watched over by heaven; your uncle will be okay,” Jiang Chen said, unsure of how else to comfort her.
Li Shuru didn’t say anything more and focused on driving, weaving through the traffic, and narrowly avoiding several collisions.
Fortunately, they reached the airport without incident.
Li Shuru parked the car and handed the keys to Jiang Chen.
“Thanks for your help.”
“No problem.”
Jiang Chen spoke softly, “Go on, hurry.”
Li Shuru nodded, grabbed her bag, and turned to push open the car door and get out.
Jiang Chen watched her until she went into the airport.
“Jin Jin, yes, I need to go ho.
Can you please ask for a few days off for …” Inside the terminal, Li Shuru finished her call, clutching her phone and slowly exhaling.
Calm down.
Panic wouldn’t solve any problems at this mont.
Li Shuru looked up at the flight information board and then down at her phone, only to find that there were several unread WeChat ssages.
She opened them to find, to her surprise, there were ssages from Xiang Xingren.
“I’m so sorry to have made you buy dinner.”
Looking at the ssage, Li Shuru could not help frowning.
Buy him dinner?
What did he an?
She sent a “?” in response.
“It was supposed to be my friend’s treat today, but when we went to pay, the waiter told us that you had already taken care of the bill.
Shu Rui, your classmate is truly too courteous,” Xiang Xingren sent another ssage.
Xiang Xingren was a smart man.
Although the waiter told him that the lady at the other table had paid the bill, he could easily guess who it really was.
The relationship between him and Li Shuru wasn’t that close yet, and since Li Shuru was a girl, there was no need for her to do such a thing.
He also knew that Li Shuru wasn’t a rich heiress.
“Next ti, I’ll treat the two of you to a al,” Xiang Xingren sent another ssage.
Li Shuru did not respond again.
She definitely did not offer to pay the bill, so could it have been Jiang Chen?
She went to answer the phone and left her credit card on the table, could it be that Jiang Chen took her card to show off?
Thinking it over and over again.
It seed like the only possibility.
n, after all, who doesn’t care about face?
Li Shuru rummaged through her bag and found the credit card again, then checked her phone for text ssages.
Generally, there would be a notification after a credit card is charged, but strangely enough, she had not received any alerts so far.
Perhaps a al’s worth of money isn’t a big deal, but if soone secretly charges another person’s card to maintain their own reputation without the cardholder’s knowledge, then there is a problem with their character.
Subconsciously, she wanted to call Jiang Chen and confront him, but after hesitating, Li Shuru felt that he didn’t seem to be the kind of lowly person.
Could there be so misunderstanding?
To err on the side of caution, Li Shuru decided not to call Jiang Chen’s number, but instead called the bank.
“Hello, I would like to inquire about…”
After inquiring about the card’s transaction history, Li Shuru was surprised to discover that it wasn’t a lack of charge notifications, but that the card had indeed not been used at all that day.
“Thank you.”
She slowly put down the phone, sowhat dazed.
I am a billionaire.
I want everyone to know that you have taken this fish pond under your control.
It’s on .
…
Each phrase echoed in her ears like a haunting spell.
If Jiang Chen didn’t use her card, how did he settle the bill?
And how did he pay for Xiang Xingren’s table?
Obviously.
The only possibility was that he paid the bill himself.
But the problem was, he was famously known for being broke; where did he get so much money?!
Li Shuru took a deep breath, imdiately wanting to call and get to the bottom of things, but just then an announcent ca on.
“Flight CZ3101 is about to take off.
Passengers of this flight, please prepare to board.”
Li Shuru raised her head, listened to the repeating broadcast, and had to temporarily put aside her plan to question Jiang Chen, packed up her phone, picked up her bag, and walked towards the boarding gate.
At this mont, Jiang Chen had called for a ride-sharing driver and was on his way back to Dong University.
Don’t drink and drive; don’t drive and drink.
As a law-abiding good citizen, he naturally wouldn’t do anything against the law and regulations.
“Handso guy, are you a student at Dong University?”
“Yes.”
Seemingly detecting a hint of envy in the ride-sharing driver’s voice, Jiang Chen said with a smile, “This car isn’t mine; it belongs to a junior girl at school.”
To his surprise, upon hearing this, the ride-sharing driver beca even more envious, glanced sideways at Jiang Chen, and said sourly, “Handso guy, you’re quite lucky.”
Jiang Chen simply smiled without a word.
In the following two days, Jiang Chen once again topped the hot news at Dong University.
The news that Li Shuru’s Palara was used by him spread to every corner of the campus.
If their relationship wasn’t close to a certain degree, how could one possibly lend out their car?
For a while, rumors about the two dating were rampant, nurous guys beat their chests in frustration and grief, muttering about the hatred of a stolen wife and even claiming they wanted to smash the car.
But they only muttered, not daring to take any action.
Such an expensive car, they couldn’t afford to compensate for it.
So even though the white Palara was parked brazenly beneath the n’s dormitory, it remained completely undamaged.
Of course.
Apart from the curses, there were also so people who unreservedly supported Jiang Chen, saying this was a great victory for n.
A penniless guy winning over a rich and beautiful woman, how inspiring and heartening?
From a lovesick pup to a hero, Jiang Chen was now on the verge of becoming an idol.
“Jiang Chen, I fucking salute you, you’re the man.”
Even Luo Peng, who prided himself as a ladies’ man, admitted defeat and was thoroughly impressed.
“Lend the car for tonight.
I’ve got an event, you know what I an.”
“I can’t assist in tyranny or help you harm innocent girls.”
“Screw you, think you’re better than everyone else, so holier-than-thou!”
While they joked in the dormitory, Jiang Chen’s phone began to ring.
It was Li Shuru.
