Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Her Mom
“The tail of the car hit a tree.”
“Ah?” Last time she crashed into Qi Anran’s car, it cost her 2000 yuan, wouldn’t she have to spend a lot of money to fix it now if she hit this car?
Gu Wei got out and took a look, then came back and said, “It’s nothing serious, just a small dent. Insurance can cover it.”
Su Meixi quickly said, “Maybe I shouldn’t drive at all. I could be the legendary bad female driver.”
But Gu Wei said sternly, “The more you don’t drive, the less you’ll know how. You’ve had your driver’s license for three years now, and you haven’t touched a car in those three years, so it’s understandable that you’re not familiar with driving. First, calm yourself down and think carefully about the driving skills you learned, like the second test you passed.”
Whether it was the strength in his words or Su Meixi’s own determination, she forced herself to calm down after hearing what he said.
She needed to reverse the car out, with other cars on both sides and a small tree behind.
She carefully judged the distances and mentally calculated when to steer and for how long.
Oddly enough, after getting used to it, she looked at the rearview mirror and, with slow maneuvers, managed to get the car out quite quickly.
Gu Wei then encouraged her, “Just drive the car home. Take it slow, I’ll be right beside you and it’ll be fine.”
So Su Meixi drove slowly.
It was late at night by now, with few cars and people on the road, perfect for practicing driving.
She was familiar with Feng City and wasn’t directionally challenged, so she focused on driving. With occasional reminders from Gu Wei, the drive went exceptionally smooth.
At first, Su Meixi had complained that the car was too big, but after driving for a while, she thought it was fantastic. It had a broad view and was very impressive.
…
The next day.
Qi Anran and Han Ningzhen parked their car in the garage and got out.
Soon after, a Land Rover also drove in.
This parking lot was reserved for doctors’ vehicles, and most doctors drove cars worth two or three hundred thousand yuan. There were some BMWs and Mercedes, but not many, and the only Land Rover belonged to the deputy director, which was military green. @@novelbin@@
Whose white one was this?
Men are naturally more interested in cars, so Qi Anran stopped to look.
He hadn’t meant much by it, but then he saw Su Meixi.
Though Su Meixi’s driving skills weren’t polished, she drove slowly and only took a few minutes to back the car into the parking spot.
After parking, she got out of the car and used the key fob to lock it remotely.
Perhaps it was the effect of having a nice car, but Su Meixi exuded the aura of a white-collar beauty from head to toe, and Qi Anran couldn’t help but stare.
Han Ningzhen’s face darkened.
They had fought last night about the photos when they got home, and now seeing Qi Anran looking at Su Meixi made her even more angry.
“What are you looking at? Since she’s so pretty, why don’t you go win her back?”
Qi Anran snapped out of it, quickly took Han Ningzhen in his arms, “I’m not looking because she is pretty. I’m just curious what tricks she used to coax a man into buying her a Land Rover.”
“Hmph, she just likes to show off. The kind of person who demands cars and houses so soon after meeting can’t last long.”
…
There was no elevator in the staff parking lot, so Qi Anran and Han Ningzhen had to take the stairs to the first floor of the outpatient building to take the elevator.
Just as they reached the first floor, Qi Anran heard someone calling him.
“You… aren’t you Ah Xi’s boyfriend? I think I’ve seen you before.”
Qi Anran turned around to see a woman in her fifties standing beside him.
He soon recognized her; the woman was Su Meixi’s mother. He had seen her once before when he bumped into her while shopping at the supermarket with Su Meixi.
Han Ningzhen was displeased when she heard Fang Xin refer to Qi Anran in that manner, “Don’t you have any awareness? You don’t even know how long your daughter and my boyfriend have been broken up. He’s her ex now.”
“Broken up?” Fang Xin felt it was a terrible shame.
Back then, she had thought very highly of Qi Anran. After finding out he was a doctor, she was even happier. It’s great to have a doctor in the family, she thought; in the future, if anyone fell ill, they could rely on him.
“Auntie, I need to leave now, we still have work to do,” said Qi Anran, not wanting to deal with Fang Xin any longer.
For some reason, Fang Xin suddenly burst into tears. “Oh, I knew our Ah Xi wasn’t good enough for you. She’s so ungrateful, not even helping her own mother. How could she possibly value your relationship?”
Han Ningzhen immediately caught the critical information from Fang Xin’s words, “Auntie, you said Su Meixi doesn’t even help her own mother? What’s that about? Tell me.”
“She, she… Oh, I can’t bring myself to say it!”
“Auntie, I’m the director’s daughter. How about you add me on WeChat? If there’s something bothering you, you can talk to me, and I might be able to relay it to my father,” suggested Han Ningzhen.
Fang Xin was naturally impatient, hastily taking out her phone to add Han Ningzhen on WeChat.
At that moment, the elevator arrived, and Han Ningzhen got in with Yu Anran.
Inside the elevator, Yu Anran asked Han Ningzhen, somewhat displeased, “Why did you add her mother?”
Han Ningzhen smirked, “Of course, it’s to watch the drama unfold.”
“What are you planning to do?”
“It’s their family matter. What can I possibly do?” Han Ningzhen rolled her eyes at Yu Anran, “Did you delete her pictures?”
“I deleted them, as soon as I got back last night,” replied Qi Anran.
Fang Xin went to the pain management department but didn’t rush to find Su Meixi. Instead, she sat down on a bench outside.
Last year, she came to see Su Meixi once, hoping to borrow tens of thousands of yuan. But not only did Su Meixi refuse to lend the money, but she also had security escort her out under the pretext that Fang Xin was affecting her work.
Because of that incident, the nurses here recognized Fang Xin.
As soon as she arrived, the nurses at the entrance watched her vigilantly.
So today, Fang Xin didn’t dare to barge in looking for someone.
Look, so many patients were lined up early in the morning waiting for Su Meixi to see them. If she caused trouble now, it certainly would end just like last year.
After sitting on the bench for a while, she saw a message arrive on her phone, sent by someone with the nickname “Sincere Little Ningzhen.”
Sincere Little Ningzhen: Auntie, what do you need Dr. Su for?
Seeing someone taking interest, Fang Xin couldn’t help but start to pour out her grievances. She sent Han Ningzhen a long voice message, “This Su Meixi, she disregards the care she was given growing up. She’s not willing to lend money, nor will she help her brother transfer his household registration. Although they have different mothers, he’s still her brother, right? If her brother gets better, then when she gets married, that means she’ll have someone dependable in her family. Don’t you think?”
Han Ningzhen: [Dr. Su isn’t willing to lend the money? She should have money, I saw her driving a car to work this morning that cost over 800,000.]
Fang Xin: “What? Over 800,000?”
Han Ningzhen: [Absolutely true. Though, it’s also possible that it was a gift from a new boyfriend.]
Fang Xin: “Then she’s really ungrateful. Even though I haven’t raised her these past years, I at least gave birth to her, she grew up drinking my milk. And now that she has a boyfriend, she wants nothing to do with her mother.”
Han Ningzhen: [Auntie, if you approach her by yourself to ask for money, I doubt you’ll get any.]
Fang Xin: “Then talk to the director for me, ask him to convince her. Aren’t you the director’s daughter?”
Han Ningzhen: [I am the director’s daughter, but the director doesn’t involve himself in household issues. As the saying goes, even an honest official finds familial disputes hard to resolve. Auntie, I’ve heard that short videos are really popular now. If someone wants to seek justice, just posting a short video online can do the trick.]
Fang Xin: “Really? How do I make one?”
What do you think?
