The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement-Chapter 304 - A Late Accident
304 A Late Accident
After coaxing Old Master Jing to finish his lunch, the two of them returned to the He family manor to prepare for the evening party. Xu Meng brought a small gift that her family had prepared for He Chen.
He smiled and asked the butler to take it, and then warmly asked someone to entertain Xu Meng.
This was the first time that he had helped his daughter entertain her friends at home as a parent. The novel experience made his cold face soften unconsciously. He felt more about the benefits of having a daughter by his side, and he was also very happy that his daughter was willing to introduce him to her good friends.
Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Xu Meng’s stomach began to growl. “Why isn’t Xia Yan here yet? Did something happen on the way?”
He Miao found it strange as well. She took out her phone and said, “I’ll make a call and ask. Have some snacks first and bear with it for a while.”
However, no one picked up after He Miao called several times. She looked up at Jing Yan with worry. “What happened? Fid something really happen to her?”
Jing Yan held her hand and told her not to worry. He took the phone and dialed Xia Yan’s number again. This time, the call was picked up, but the person on the other end was not Xia Yan, but Lu Shuang.
“He Miao?” Lu Shuang picked up the phone and said in a tired voice, “Xia Yan is in the hospital now. If you want to see her, can I just tell you the address?”
“What did you just say?” He Miao anxiously snatched the phone and asked, “Which hospital is she in? We’ll go there now!”
Outside the emergency room, Lu Shuang put down her phone and looked at the man with a dark expression. “Why do you still want to see my daughter?”
The man furrowed his brows and suddenly felt that the buttons on his collar were too tightly buttoned, making him a little breathless. “I’m sorry.”
“What’s the use of being sorry!” Lu Shuang stood up in anger and glared at him. She wanted him to take her daughter’s place in the emergency room to save her daughter’s life.
A woman in a light blue suit beside the man hurriedly stood in between them.
“President Lu, President Chen didn’t want to see your daughter on purpose. It was Xia Yan herself.”
“Shut up!” Lu Shuang looked at the pitiful woman in disgust and curled her lips coldly. “You’re not fit to mention my daughter’s name. You’re not fit to talk to me. Who do you think you are?”
“I…” The woman frowned in grievance and looked up at the man for help with tears in her eyes.
Chen Zheng raised his hand to stop her from speaking. His dark eyes looked at the woman who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. “Aunty Lu, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ll find the best doctor to treat her.”
Lu Shuang narrowed her eyes. The sound of her high heels clicking on the ground was like the last bell that demanded her life. “The two of you better pray that my daughter is safe. Otherwise, I will make you two pay with your blood!”
The elevator doors opened with a ‘ding’. He Miao led Xu Meng and Jing Yan into the corridor outside the emergency room. She was stunned when she saw the three of them confronting each other. Then, she quickly ran to Lu Shuang and asked, “Aunty Lu, how is Yanyan? How did she suddenly end up in the emergency room?”
Lu Shuang snorted coldly and returned to her seat. Her eyes suddenly reddened.
Chen Zheng looked up at He Miao and seemed to recognize her. He explained in a hoarse voice, “Yanyan saw me and my secretary… I tried my best to chase after her car, but she accidentally collided with a big car.”
“What?” He Miao seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She stared blankly at the red light on the door of the operating room, unable to accept this reality for a long time.
Just now, they had agreed to have dinner at her house together, and they had just spoken on the phone in the afternoon. Xia Yan had even said that she had brought her and her father a gift for their first meeting. Why did she suddenly end up in the emergency room?
“Miaomiao.” Jing Yan’s heart ached as he held her fragile body in his arms. He nodded slightly to greet Chen Zheng, then helped her to sit on a chair at the side. He held her cold hands and softly advised, “Miaomiao, don’t worry. Xia Yan will definitely be safe. Let’s wait for her to come out together, okay?”
He Miao nodded with tears in her eyes. She wanted to cry, but Lu Shuang was still beside her. She did not dare to make her sad, so se held back her tears. Instead, she held Lu Shuang’s arm and advised, “Auntie, don’t worry. Yanyan will be fine.”
Xu Meng stood helplessly by He Miao’s side. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she could not get a word in.
In fact, she did not have much contact with Xia Yan, but she was extremely sad to see the people around her in such a state. However, she looked around and frowned when her gaze fell on the woman beside Chen Zheng.
If she was not mistaken, the woman’s eyes had a flash of joy and smugness, but when she took a closer look, all that was left was worry for the man beside her.
Xu Meng secretly noted this down, then waited for the results of the operation with He Miao without saying a word.
