Chapter 5 The Car Was Hit_1

Bai Yuchen felt a bit uneasy.

Ruan Qi was also somewhat surprised, not understanding why Xi Jiu would suddenly ask this.

"My family is from Baicheng..." Her head tilted slightly, her tone puzzled, "Mr. Xi, do you need something?"

Xi Jiu's cool eyes flickered.

"Nothing. Just asking." He paused, then threw out a second question, "Miss Ruan, how old are you this year?"

Bai Yuchen was so startled, he almost dropped his melon.

The Qin family members all wore expressions of horror.

What was up with the Ninth Master today?

Had his soul been swapped?!

Ruan Qi, faced with the question, felt a cloud of question marks hover over her. She blinked her peach blossom eyes in confusion, "I..."

"Xiao Qi? Why are you out here?"

Xu Xiangyang, who had just returned from paying the bill, saw Ruan Qi standing at the door and hurriedly walked over, his face stern, "Didn't I tell you not to move around? You're still recovering from a concussion, what if you get dizzy again?"

The train of thought of Ruan Qi, who had been interrupted, immediately tossed Xi Jiu's question to the back of her mind.

She flashed Xu Xiangyang a pleasing smile, the silver needles on her head shaking like little tufts.

"Senior brother, I couldn't just lie there anymore, needed a breath of fresh air."

As she spoke, she tugged pitifully at the corner of Xu Xiangyang's clothing.

Xu Xiangyang, since childhood, had always been weak against his junior sister's coquettish ways. He looked at Ruan Qi and let out a resigned sigh.

"You..." He shook his head and then noticed the other people in the corridor.

Xu Xiangyang nodded towards them, "Family Head Qin, Miss Qin, Mr. Bai."

Speaking, his gaze swept over them and he paused when he saw Xi Jiu.

"Master Xi?" Xu Xiangyang was somewhat surprised.

Xi Jiu nodded slightly, "Doctor Xu, long time no see."

Bai Yuchen showed a surprised expression, "Brother Jiu, you know Mr. Xu?"

"We've met once before." Xi Jiu put his hands in his pockets, "Mr. Xu once performed surgery on my second uncle."

Xu Xiangyang nodded with a smile, "Master Xi has a good memory, to still remember me. My junior sister was injured today and needs to rest urgently. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll invite Master Xi to catch up again."

Xi Jiu didn't say a word.

He glanced at Ruan Qi again, his gaze lingering. Then, he turned to the side and made a 'be at ease' gesture.

Xu Xiangyang, supporting Ruan Qi, nodded to the crowd and slowly left.

——*——*——

The hospital's underground parking garage.

Xu Xiangyang looked at the car door, which was dented from the impact, radiating intense sorrow and anger.

Who the devil had rammed his precious car into this state?

This was the new car he had just gotten last month!

Xu Xiangyang was in extreme pain.

He looked at the driver's door, so smashed that even a mother wouldn't bear it, and nearly burst into tears.

"Um... Senior brother..." Ruan Qi patted his shoulder like a little puppy, "Well... when one old thing leaves, a new one arrives."

"..." Xu Xiangyang wasn't comforted; in fact, he felt even more like crying.

He took a deep breath and wiped his face, "Forget it. Let's leave the car here for now. I'll call a cab to take you home."

The two of them walked leisurely towards the elevator.

At this moment, the sound of an engine came from behind, and then a black Maybach stopped next to them.

"Miss Ruan, Mr. Xu?" Bai Yuchen's face poked out from the passenger window, "What happened?"

Xu Xiangyang didn't speak, his eyes full of silent grief as he glanced right.

Bai Yuchen followed his gaze.

"Oh snap! That car is really messed up, definitely takes some skills!"

Xu Xiangyang's gloom deepened.

He ground his teeth, speaking in a somber tone, "That's my car."

Bai Yuchen's smile froze on his face.

He laughed awkwardly, forcing out, "That's really... quite the coincidence..."

Xu Xiangyang: "..."
