The Black Card Chapter 117 - Hit By A Car

Chapter 117 - Hit By a Car

Zhang Meimei had a car so Shi Lei naturally didn’t have to book a car. 

After they got in the car, Zhang Meimei seemed to ask casually: “Teacher Shi, do you want to invite your girlfriend?” With that, she even glanced at Zhang Liangliang. 

Shi Lei thought, as expected, she didn’t believe me. A lawyer’s words really couldn’t be trusted. Before he could open his mouth, Zhang Liangliang replied first: “I don’t know if yi’jie is free, I’ll ask her.” 

Zhang Meimei was slightly surprised. When she asked the question, it was mainly because she still somewhat had concerns towards Shi Lei. Seeing that her daughter didn’t seem to care made her more relieved. 

Although the WeChat message was sent, Sun Yiyi didn’t reply for a long time. Zhang Liangliang’s phone finally received a message after they arrived at the restaurant which Zhang Meimei picked. 

Sun Yiyi said that she couldn’t eat with them because her mother didn’t seem to feel well. The hospital suggested them to go back and have a check as it might be rejection reaction. 

After Shi Lei heard it, he immediately said: “Then I’ll leave too. Sorry, I need to check on her. Yiyi is a girl and I can’t let her be by herself.” 

It was a natural thing to do and Zhang Meimei was even more relieved. It seems like that girl called Sun Yiyi really was Shi Lei’s girlfriend and she over thought about it. 

Zhang Liangliang seemed slightly unwilling to let him leave but she knew how much Sun Yiyi meant to Shi Lei, so she didn’t dare to stop him but she looked rather disappointed. 

After Shi Lei left, Zhang Meimei ordered and pretended to ask casually: “What’s wrong with teacher Shi’s girlfriend’s mother? How would she have rejection reactions?” Recently, Zhang Liangliang chatted with Sun Yiyi quite a lot and already knew the basics about her. 

“Yijie’s mother has heart disease. I don’t really know the details but she had a surgery recently, it’s called bypa.s.s or something. Yi’jie father pa.s.sed away and they didn’t have enough money, so dashu paid for the surgery. They didn’t dare to tell yi’jie’s mother and said that a medecine company wanted to promote their products and could provide her with free ones, as well as the surgery fees.” 

Zhang Meimei nodded silently, she thought that Shi Lei was a rather responsible person. Although he was quite young, but he was much better than her ex-husband. If it was a couple, it was normal to pay for a few 10,000 yuan of surgery fees. They were only boyfriend and girlfriend yet they considered for each other as he didn’t want them to feel as if they owed him too much. Even if they lied, it was a white lie. 

As a lawyer, Zhang Meimei had seen too many couples who used to seem like one person, but desperately attempted to abandon each other when they were in a disastrous situation. 

Zhang Meimei was overwhelmed with regret. She felt that she really shouldn’t have doubted Shi Lei. He was such a kind hearted boy and he definitely stood out from the rest. And, she did not only embarra.s.s him in his face, although Shi Lei didn’t seem to blame her at all, but Zhang Meimei tried to test him subtly, Zhang Meimei was deeply regretting her actions. 

Her impressions towards Shi Lei became even better and was completely relieved to have Shi Lei accompany with Zhang Liangliang’s study. 

Zhang Meimei was also considering that she should increase the pay for him too, perhaps 100 yuan per hour. 

After Shi Lei left the restaurant, he called Sun Yiyi. She seemed to be in a panic as her mother suddenly said that she wasn’t feeling well. She gave her medicine and made her some porridge, but her mother’s situation didn’t seem to improve at all. 

Then, Sun Yiyi called the hospital. The doctor who performed the surgery on her mother just happened to be on duty today and heard Sun Yiyi’s mother’s situation, he told them to quickly go back to the hospital and check. But Sun Yiyi’s mother was worried that they need to spend money again if they went and they didn’t have any money, so she didn’t want to go. 

Shi Lei immediately said: “Yiyi, don’t panic, I’m on my way right now, It doesn’t matter whether she wants to go or not, if she doesn’t want to, I will carry her to the hospital. As for money, don’t worry about it.” 

Although he knew that the money spent on Sun Yiyi’s mother couldn’t possibly be counted towards the sum, but Shi Lei couldn’t care less. He had about 15,000 yuan anyways and as long as her situation wasn’t too bad, it should be enough. He didn’t have time to call for a taxi online so he could only wait on the side of the street. 

Perhaps because he was in a hurry, and it was peak hour in the evening, Shi Lei saw an empty taxi and immediately dashed to the side of the road and attempted to stop it. Except, he heard a sudden and sharp brake sound and a Volvo halted next to him. Shi Lei felt that his leg was. .h.i.t hard, his body swayed and almost fell down. 

The person inside the car gasped and quickly got out of the car. Shi Lei tried his best to balance his body and he didn’t fall. 

But the place which was. .h.i.t on his left leg was hurting, he didn’t know if he had a broken bone or not. 

The driver was a girl, or it wasn’t too accurate to call her a girl. She was a young woman about 25 years old. She was plump, had long hair, long legs and thin waist, and she was a wearing a white dress which was extremely beautiful. 

As soon as she got out of the car, she apologized non-stop and asked if Shi Lei was hurt anywhere. She looked at her car and realised that Shi Lei’s leg was probably hit. The woman didn’t seem to push the responsibility away and said that she would take Shi Lei to the hospital to check. 

When a vehicle collides against a pedestrian, the vehicle would take full responsibility for it by law. Shi Lei knew it as he learnt how to drive before. 

But he knew that this really wasn’t the female driver’s fault. It was because he suddenly ran onto the road and she couldn’t brake in time. That was a quick reaction too. If her reaction was any slower, Shi Lei would be under the wheels by now. 

“It’s ok, not your fault, it’s me who suddenly ran onto the the road. I’m fine, you can leave.” Shi Lei wasn’t in the mood to go to the hospital at all. Although his destination was the hospital alright, but he had to go to Sun Yiyi’s place first and bring Sun Yiyi’s mother. 

The woman saw that Shi Lei was struggling with walking and said: “I think you should come with me to the hospital and get it checked. That’s you and I both being sensible and responsible. After all, my car hit you and it’s a must for me to take you to the hospital. Look at your leg, it was clearly hit, you can’t even walk properly. Get in the car, there’s a hospital not far from here, I’ll take you there.” 

Shi Lei waved his hands firmly and said: “There’s something I need to do urgently and I really don’t have time to go. Don’t worry, I’m really fine, I won’t blackmail you or anything. It should just be a pulled muscle, I can walk fine. If you are really worried, give me your number. If it’s really broken, I’ll call you. How about that?” 

The woman frowned and seemed to hesitate for a while, and said: “Do you have an emergency? What about this, I think you are waiting for a taxi too. It’s the peak hour right now and taxis are usually changing shifts right now. Come with me, we’ll check at the hospital first and it won’t take too much time. Then, I’ll drive you to wherever you need to go, is that ok?” 

Shi Lei said: “No, really. I’ll tell you, I’m going to the hospital anyways, but I need to pick up the patient because she doesn’t want to go the hospital. I need to pick her up and then go to the hospital. When she’s getting checked, I’ll go check on my leg, ok? Give me your number, if something really happens, I’ll call you. I’ll say it again, I would never blackmail you or anything, rest a.s.sured!”
