Yan Xia saw his back in the dim halo. Lu Qianzhou lit a cigarette and puffed out clouds of smoke.
She thought he was heartless to this extent, but little did she know that Lu Qianzhou's hands had been shaking all the time. He was just afraid that seeing her familiar face and charm would make him fall into emotions again, out of control, and his heart would ache so much that it would spasm.
The servants had quickly come into the room. They cleaned up the place neatly and threw all the carefully - prepared gifts by Yan Xia into the trash can.
She stood there, shivering all over.
At this moment, Yan Xia felt that she was extremely humble and ridiculous, like a huge joke.
Without saying a word, she got out of the box, put on her coat. Without caring that she was only wearing a thin nightgown inside or that her slender legs were bare, she picked up her things and left the villa without looking back.
It was really cold outside. The cold made her legs tremble constantly.
The overwhelming chill swept over. Only after she got into the car did she let the tears slide down from the corners of her eyes.
Yan Xia knew that people always had emotions. No matter how strong or violent his emotions were, she could understand and tolerate them. But she couldn't stand this kind of violence. There was nothing that couldn't be explained, unless he didn't want to say it himself.
She didn't think that not wanting to celebrate his birthday was something that couldn't be explained. Lu Qianzhou really disappointed her today!
The maid cleaned up carefully. Seeing Lu Qianzhou standing on the balcony, looking in the direction where Yan Xia had driven away, she suddenly summoned up the courage to say,
"Mr. Lu, it's very cold outside today. Miss only wore so little. It's really dangerous for her to drive alone in the middle of the night."
What she meant was that she hoped Lu Qianzhou would chase after her.
After all, they had all seen Lu Qianzhou's changes since Yan Xia came.
After such a big fight today, Lu Qianzhou must be in a very bad mood. Who knew when he would get sick and fly into a rage, hurting himself or the people around him. But if he could get Yan Xia back, maybe the situation would be different.
But Lu Qianzhou remained unmoved.
On her way home, Yan Xia still felt wronged. Big tears fell on the steering wheel.
At this time, there were few cars on the road, so she didn't drive as carefully as usual.
Her phone kept vibrating. She didn't know who was persistently calling, but she didn't have the mind to care.
The car drove into a sparsely - populated construction section.
Suddenly, the dazzling high - beam lights of a large truck in front swept over. Yan Xia instinctively dodged. The large truck was driving erratically and suddenly changed its direction, charging straight at her car.
Yan Xia was startled. Before the tears on her eyelashes had dried, she instinctively turned the steering wheel to dodge to the side.
With a loud bang, her car hit the power pole beside. The airbag popped out. She hit the roof of the car and felt dizzy. Even the rear - view mirror in the car was broken. The fragments scratched across her forehead, and blood dripped down from her forehead. Yan Xia quickly reached out to unbuckle her seat belt. At the moment when the large truck was about to hit, she pushed open the passenger - side door and rolled out.
Almost a split - second later, the large truck crashed into the power pole with her car.
The whole car was smashed into pieces, especially the driver's seat. If she were still in the car at this moment, she should have been crushed into a pancake.
Yan Xia stared at the scene in horror. Ignoring the pain in her body, with injuries on her head and hands, she instinctively got up and ran away.
This was no accident. It definitely wasn't!
Because her existence threatened some people, these outlaws wanted to take her life.
She was shivering violently. Seeing that the attempt had failed and another car was coming head - on in the distance and even stopped, the perpetrator quickly drove the large truck away.
Wen Liang came in a hurry.
The moment he received the notice from Lu Qianzhou, he set off from home to pick up Yan Xia and protect her safety.
"Miss Lu..." Wen Liang quickly ran towards her.
Whether it was because of the serious injury or the great shock, when she saw Wen Liang, she couldn't say a word and just fainted straight into his arms.
...
On the cold night, Yan Xia opened her eyes, her eyes cold.
She began to think carefully about who had the audacity to attack her so blatantly, someone who had the reason and the ability to avoid being held accountable.
Peng Shiyi was out of the question. She didn't have the guts now.
Fang Jiangyi was even more impossible. He should not have fully confirmed her identity yet.
So, it was very likely to be Wang Keding or Yuan Qiuping.
Both of them were on bad terms with her. Especially Wang Keding. Lu Qianzhou's current actions were directly threatening his interests. In order to safeguard his own interests and ensure that the secret of his collusion with Fang Jiangyi would not be exposed, he chose to attack her.
Firstly, she knew too much and was now a stumbling - block to Fang Jiangyi.
Secondly, he didn't have the capital to directly attack Lu Qianzhou.
Wen Liang was loyal and had been guarding the door of the ward.
Soon, Fang Jiangyi rushed over after hearing the news.
It was already early morning. He came in a hurry, bringing in the smell of the cold wind outside.
Seeing Yan Xia with a bandage on her head, lying on her side on the hospital bed, he originally thought she was asleep. But when Yan Xia heard the noise, she turned around directly and happened to meet his eyes.
"Are you okay?" He originally had a lot to say, a lot of worries and concerns, but when he saw her, he didn't know where to start.
Yan Xia shook her head. "Even you have been alerted."
"How could I not come after such a thing happened?" Fang Jiangyi frowned tightly. "Just now I asked the doctor. Fortunately, the injury is not serious."
The sense of crisis of being on the verge of death still lingered in her heart. She was still in fear and dared not fall asleep.
Fang Jiangyi sat down beside the hospital bed. "What happened?"
Yan Xia said, "I was hit by a large truck on my way back. That truck came straight at me purposefully. It must have been instigated by someone. I've already sent someone to investigate."
Fang Jiangyi was also a little puzzled. "Who has the audacity to directly attack you?"
Yan Xia shook her head. Although she had her suspicions, she couldn't say it directly.
"I'll also arrange people to investigate. This matter won't end like this."
Fang Jiangyi held her hand and gently stroked the bandage on her hand lovingly.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not too much. I'm just a little scared."
She was scared that she would die before avenging her great hatred and finding out anything.
Fang Jiangyi's eyes were deep. "You always like to be so tough."
She had nothing to say.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Hearing this, Yan Xia's eyes flashed. Suddenly, she remembered the fight with Lu Qianzhou again. So instinctively, she wanted to avoid this question and didn't want to answer him.
"I was dealing with some things." She said briefly.
Since she didn't want to say more, Fang Jiangyi didn't ask anymore.
He stayed with her in the ward for a long time. Finally, it was Yan Xia who urged him to go back and rest. After several insistences, Fang Jiangyi arranged two bodyguards to guard the door of the ward before giving in and going home to rest.
