She could only stare blankly and call out, "Auntie..."
The inside of the car grew increasingly quiet. In the end, unable to bear such humiliation and grief any longer, she got out of the car and left on her own.
From the moment Cheng Yanxia came back, she knew her days would not be easy. Because of this woman, the Peng family had declined, and she had lost everything. The only thing she could hold onto was Fang Jiangyi, but this woman still wanted to take him away from her...
This woman was like a maggot, seeping into every corner of her life. She couldn't be driven away or killed.
She steadily followed Yanxia's car all the way. More and more thoughts swirled in her mind, becoming increasingly chaotic. Anxiety and unease coiled in her head. Suddenly, she turned on the high - beam lights and stepped on the accelerator.
Yanxia was communicating with her assistant about the work details. The high - beam lights of the car behind were blindingly white, and its speed was getting faster and faster. She frowned. Before she could even react, that car rammed straight into hers, hitting the rear end.
The impact was quite strong. Yanxia's body lurched forward, and she immediately accelerated to avoid further collisions.
But the other driver refused to let up and continued to speed up, ramming into her car's rear end again.
This road happened to be a main thoroughfare, with a large number of vehicles. Everyone was stuck in the traffic flow, with nowhere to hide. Fortunately, her car was in the front. As long as the traffic light changed, she could immediately accelerate and turn onto another road.
Soon, the traffic began to move. Without even having time to turn on the turn signal, Yanxia turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road on the right.
Peng Shiyi still clung tightly to her, stepping on the accelerator to the floor.
"Cheng Yanxia, why don't you just die? Why don't you die like your short - lived sister!" Her eyes were bloodshot as she accelerated straight towards the rear of Yanxia's car.
With a loud bang, even the traffic police officer who had come to stop the abnormal situation was knocked flying. Yanxia didn't expect the other car to turn so quickly and catch up. She saw that car charging towards her like a madman. She had no choice but to accelerate onto the sidewalk beside the road.
Since her attention was focused on the car behind, she neglected what was in front and crashed straight into a big tree by the roadside.
The sound of glass shattering filled the air, and the windshield cracked.
Just as Peng Shiyi, who was speeding towards Yanxia's car, was about to hit it, she collided with a car that was about to turn around. Several cars crashed into each other, causing a extremely serious traffic accident.
Peng Shiyi's car was almost completely wrecked, and blood spread quickly, seeping out onto the road.
The bodyguards responsible for protecting Yanxia's safety immediately called Lu Qianzhou to report the situation.
Among the cars involved in the accident, Peng Shiyi was the most seriously injured. The whole group was quickly rushed to the hospital.
By the time Lu Qianzhou arrived, Yanxia had already been bandaged and was sitting on a chair in the corridor, being questioned by the traffic police.
Lu Qianzhou pushed through the crowd and walked straight up to Yanxia, looking down at her.
"Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
"Sir, sorry, we're in the middle of an investigation..."
"What you should do is check the surveillance cameras and question the perpetrator's intention to hurt people, instead of surrounding the victim and pressuring her for answers." Lu Qianzhou pulled Yanxia up. "Sorry, I need to take my wife for a check - up."
Without giving the traffic police on - site any face, he directly grabbed Yanxia, put his arm around her waist, and forcefully led her out. He had made arrangements on his way here, and several departments were on standby.
The bandages on Yanxia's body and the seeping blood were extremely eye - catching! Lu Qianzhou was completely unable to stay calm.
"Lu Qianzhou, are you crazy? I'm being investigated. Let go of me!" Yanxia was furious, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free from his grasp.
This man was always so self - centered. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't allow anyone to defy his orders.
Lu Qianzhou didn't say a word. He dragged Yanxia all the way towards the elevator to go upstairs.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Qianzhou's voice was calm and controlled: "You need a full - body check - up."
"It's just a superficial wound. I've already been bandaged. I don't need a full - body check - up. Stop being so unreasonable and causing trouble for others!"
Words were useless. Lu Qianzhou forced Yanxia upstairs. Two bodyguards followed behind, firmly taking her for all the full - body examinations.
Yanxia never stopped struggling, but Lu Qianzhou just watched coldly from the side. It was as if he was watching a pet throwing a tantrum. Even when she was extremely angry and pushed and hit him, Lu Qianzhou remained unmoved. There was a haze in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
But Yanxia had always been in good health. The results of this check - up showed nothing more than superficial wounds and soft - tissue contusions.
Fang Jiangyi also rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news, bringing Lan Mengfan with him.
The little girl was scared out of her wits when she heard that Yanxia had been in a car accident. Her face was pale all the way, and she didn't dare to say a word until they arrived. When she saw Yanxia lying on the white hospital bed, with bandages on her body, she finally burst into tears, terrified.
"Mommy, Mommy..." She wailed and tried to go in to see Yanxia's condition.
Lu Qianzhou looked down and saw Fang Jiangyi had brought a little girl. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
"What did you bring her for? She's such a nuisance." He hated the sound of a child crying. It was so noisy and irritating.
Fang Jiangyi didn't even bother to answer him. Hearing the commotion, Yanxia sat up from the bed and called Lan Mengfan in. Lan Mengfan squeezed in through the gap in the door and threw herself into Yanxia's arms, sobbing loudly.
"Mr. Fang should probably give an explanation." Lu Qianzhou's deep gaze shifted to Fang Jiangyi, with a sarcastic anger in his eyes. "It was you who kept Peng Shiyi around like a ticking time bomb. Today, she almost killed my fiancée."
"Last time it was just a girlfriend, and now it's a fiancée. Mr. Lu is being a bit too self - indulgent. Some things can't be decided just by your words." He glanced at the bandages on Yanxia's forehead and arms. They were just as eye - catching to him.
"You don't need to say anything. The law will punish Peng Shiyi for what she's done."
In fact, Yanxia only had superficial wounds. It was just that Lu Qianzhou was overreacting.
After the doctor prescribed some medicine for Yanxia, she took Lan Mengfan's hand and went downstairs.
In the lobby downstairs, some of the other victims of the car accident were also being investigated by the police. As the perpetrator, Peng Shiyi was the most seriously injured and was still in the operating room.
From afar, Yanxia could already see Peng Shiyi's parents surrounding the police and hospital staff, anxiously inquiring about Peng Shiyi's condition.
Yanxia voluntarily went to be investigated, but she and Fang Jiangyi were instead pestered by Peng Shiyi's parents. The two of them refused to let go and questioned Yanxia and Fang Jiangyi.
"What on earth is going on, Fang Jiangyi! My precious daughter has given everything for you. She's spent almost a decade of her youth on you. Did you two adulterers collude to kill my daughter!" Mrs. Peng was extremely agitated and grabbed Fang Jiangyi's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Lu Qianzhou silently protected Yanxia behind him. Two bodyguards stood by on the side, ready to act at any moment.
