Chapter 2: Car Accident
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My sister grew up in the countryside. She may be a little willful, but Grandpa Jing and my family had already decided on the engagement. No matter what my sister says, we broke it first. If you and my sister don’t regret it, I will go to Grandpa Jing and apologize to him in person.” He Wei carried herself like a lady from a wealthy family.
Jing Yan looked up at her coldly and said, “Your sister said that she doesn’t like me anymore. It was your family who broke off the engagement first. Why should I go back on my word?”
“Miss He, your sister broke off the engagement, but she still needs you to come forward and apologize on her behalf. It’s really hard on you.” Mu Xiao leaned over and personally poured a glass of wine for He Wei. “Why don’t you sit down and talk about it in detail, miss?”
“No, I won’t.” He Wei smiled and shook her head. “The He family is in the wrong. I will definitely give Grandpa Jing an explanation.”
“Sigh, Miss He, you’re so righteous. Come and have a drink.” Mu Xiao raised his wine glass and handed it to her attentively.
“I’ll be leaving first.” He Wei’s phoenix-like eyes raised slightly, and she glanced at Mu Xiao from the corner of her eyes. Then, she turned around and left without looking back.
Only Mu Xiao was left behind to drink the wine in his hand in one gulp. He shook his head and sighed, “She’s also a daughter of the He family, but why is there such a big difference? Big sister is as beautiful as a fairy, but that one in your house is like a potato that has just been dug out of the ground.”
Jing Yan was annoyed when he heard that he was related to that woman. He kicked him, grabbed the car keys on the table, and slammed the door in a bad mood.
On the road, Jing Yan held the steering wheel with one hand and loosened his tie with the other. His phone suddenly vibrated. He looked away to get it, but a truck suddenly lost control and rushed straight at him.
Jing Yan turned the steering wheel in a panic and barely avoided the truck.
However, before he could catch his breath, a car behind the truck, which he had not seen clearly on the road ahead, suddenly rushed over and hit Jing Yan’s car.
The streets were in chaos. The sirens of the ambulance and the noise of the crowd were particularly disturbing.
The bracelet in his pocket was broken into pieces. Before Jing Yan lost consciousness, he only saw a few fragments in front of him.
Before the medical staff could drag him out of the car, Jing Yan had already fainted from the pain.
The Jing family reacted very quickly after receiving the news. They immediately blocked the news, for fear that it would be spread wantonly. Even the He family did not know about Jing Yan’s car accident until the next night.
“I’m not going.” He Miao held the well-behaved pet dog in her arms and rejected He Feng’s suggestion without hesitation.
“You’re Jing Yan’s fiancée. If you don’t go, who will?” He Feng slammed the table in exasperation. Zhong Fei quickly held his hand, her heart aching.
She looked at He Miao in a dilemma and gently advised, “Miaomiao, just listen to your father and go to the hospital to see Jing Yan.”
He Miao did not even bat an eyelid as she replied firmly, “We’ve already broken off the engagement. I’m not going.”
“Who said you broke off the engagement? Did I agree to it?” He Feng smashed his teacup in anger. “Do you still see me as your father in your eyes?! You dare to make your own decisions on such a big matter as breaking off the engagement!”
He Miao finally shifted her gaze away from the dog and looked up calmly at He Feng, who had gone mad with anger. “It’s my own marriage, of course I’ll make my own decisions!”
“Great, great, great!” He Feng’s face was red with anger as he cursed, “What a misfortune for our family!” Then, he went back to the study in a huff.
“Miaomiao, are you really going to break off the engagement? Are you not going to regret it?” He Wei looked at her worriedly, her eyes full of concern.
“Of course, I don’t like him anymore.” He Miao nodded with certainty, her words powerful and resonating.
This time, even the servants in the room who were watching were stunned.
Who did not know that He Miao loved Jing Yan with all her heart? This country bumpkin could have had such a good marriage, but she rejected it just like that? Was she trying to seduce Young Master Jing through reverse psychology?
The servants were scornfully busy with their work. They all looked down on the He family’s Second Young Miss who had never seen the world.
Hearing He Miao’s firm attitude, He Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She was a truly gentle and considerate older sister as she patted the dog in He Miao’s arms. “This little one is so cute. I saw that there’s a lot of meat in the kitchen tonight. Let’s give it all to it.”
“Quickly cut up the remaining piece of beef in the refrigerator and bring it to this little guy.” He Wei raised her hand to call the nanny, Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu looked at the ugly dog in disdain. How could such an uncouth and stupid dog deserve to eat such good beef? It was only because the eldest miss was kind that not only did she not drive this ugly dog out, but she also took care of that wild girl from the countryside.
“Yes.” Aunt Liu left reluctantly and only brought back a small piece of beef.
He Wei could tell that Aunt Liu was being selfish, but she acted as if she did not see it. She personally picked up a piece of beef and placed it in front of the dog. “Little guy, eat quickly.”
However, the dog only sniffed with its nose and turned its head away without any appreciation.
“Aiya, this ugly dog doesn’t even eat beef!” Aunt Liu frowned and complained in disgust. Soon, she remembered that its owner was right beside her.
However, so what if she was here? She had served the he family for so many years. How could she not be better than an ugly girl who was not liked by others?
He Wei looked at He Miao awkwardly and passed the piece of meat to her. “You should feed it yourself. It’s all my fault for scaring your dog.”
