Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

LjChapter 192: Car Accident? Who is it?

After coming back from the club that night, Ji Yuqiao’s background spread throughout her class, and even students from other majors had heard about it.

On this day, just as class ended, Ji Yuqiao was blocked by a few unfamiliar girls at the classroom door.

She took two steps back, frightened, “Is, is there something wrong?”

“Are you Ji Tingyang’s sister?” one of the girls asked.

Ji Yuqiao nervously swallowed.

Could it be that her brother had caused some trouble outside?

Coming to seek revenge?

She shook her head hastily, “No, I’m not, you’ve got the wrong person.”

“The wrong person?” The girl seemed puzzled as she pulled out a photo from her phone to compare, “Aren’t you Ji Yuqiao? You even lied to me saying I got the wrong person.”

“What exactly do you want to do?” Ji Yuqiao, frightened by their volume, shuddered and quickly reached into her bag, her finger landing on the call screen for Lin Xu’s phone number.

“Do you also have a brother named Ji Zeqiu?” the girls asked.

Ji Yuqiao nodded.

Before she could make the call, the girls pulled out a bunch of envelopes and dolls from behind them and stuffed them into her arms.

“We are Ji Zeqiu’s fans. Could you please pass these gifts on to Ji Zeqiu for us?” Their faces, originally solemn, instantly became excited, emotion overflowing, their cheeks flushed.

“…”

Ji Yuqiao, angry, slapped the table and complained to Lin Xu.

“Had I known, I wouldn’t have revealed my identity. Now every day I’m harassed by my second brother’s fans, either handing me gifts to pass on, or asking for my brother’s autograph and private photos. No matter how I try, I can’t get rid of them.”

Lin Xu smiled, pushed the coffee towards her, “Alright, don’t be angry. It’s not easy for us to come out shopping, so don’t go out with all that anger, or you’ll waste such good weather today.”

Ji Yuqiao picked up the coffee and took a sip, setting the cup down heavily on the table—still somewhat furious inside.

“Tonight when we get back, I’ll teach Ji Zeqiu a lesson for you, make him manage his fans properly, okay?” said Lin Xu.

Ji Yuqiao’s eyes curved delightfully, her face lighting up with a smile, “Yes, yes, yes! If he doesn’t listen, you spank him, but let me know before you do it—I want to record it.”

If she had that video, she could use it to ask for pocket money from her second brother. If he refused, she could post the embarrassing video online.

Ji Yuqiao thought, pleased with herself.

They wandered around the mall for an afternoon, only preparing to head home reluctantly when Ji Tingyang’s urging phone call came through.

Ji Yuqiao and Lin Xu waited outside the mall entrance for the driver to come out from the parking lot.@@novelbin@@

It was right then,

Across the street, a vendor was pushing a three-wheel cart forward, shouting “Dried sweet potatoes, shrimp chips…,” through the loudspeaker hanging from the handle, so loud that it could be heard even across the broad street.

Ji Yuqiao looked at the three-wheel cart, her expression momentarily distant.

She used to often see these snack vendors at the elementary school gates.

Unfortunately, she never had money, and could only enviously watch other kids enjoy their snacks.

Once, when Ji Tingyang came to pick her up from school, he bought her five or six pieces of dried sweet potatoes.

She was over the moon, quickly gobbling up all the sweet potatoes, not leaving any for Ji Tingyang or Ji Zeqiu.

It was only later that she learned Ji Tingyang had gone without food, hungry all day, just to save money to buy her those dried sweet potatoes.

She regretted it for a long time after that.

Whenever her elder brother and second brother had something to eat, they would offer it to her first, yet she didn’t save even a piece of dried sweet potato for them.

Perhaps Ji Yuqiao was looking a bit too intently. Lin Xu followed her gaze and asked upon seeing the snack vendor pushing the cart, “Do you want to eat it?”

Ji Yuqiao seemed hesitant, “…Let’s not, the driver is coming out soon.”

“Let the driver wait for a few minutes when he comes, it’s alright. What do you want to eat?” Be it snacks or even jewels if that’s what her daughter wanted, Lin Xu would buy them for her.

Ji Yuqiao opened her mouth and the words “dried sweet potato” slipped out.

“Okay, just wait here for me,” Lin Xu said.

“Let’s go together.”

“No need, you just wait here for the driver to come out, I’ll be back very soon.”

After Lin Xu spoke, she walked across the sidewalk.

Seeing her safely reach the other side, Ji Yuqiao then withdrew her gaze, happily sending Ji Tingyang a message.

Raining Qiao: [We bought you something tasty, you’ll never guess what it is.]

Raining Qiao: [Happy.jpg]

JTY: [Seafood?]

Raining Qiao: [No!]

Ji Yuqiao, holding her phone, contentedly played a guessing game about food with Ji Tingyang.

Suddenly.

A loud “bang” rang out.

A tremendous impact sound and screams erupted by her ear.

Cars jammed to a halt on the road ahead, and the opposite side was crowded with many onlookers.

Ji Yuqiao felt an inexplicable unease, her hand gripping the phone tightened slightly; she stretched her neck trying to look over, but she couldn’t see anything beyond the crowd.

“My God, there’s been an accident over there, has anyone called an ambulance?”

“Blood all over the ground, probably beyond help now, that woman looked so young, what a pity.”

“The person was thrown several meters away, still clutching a bag of dried sweet potato, ah…”

Her ears rang abruptly, Ji Yuqiao couldn’t hear anything, her mind went blank, almost all of her blood seemed to be flowing in reverse, her body turned frighteningly cold.

An accident?

Who was it?

Lin Xu?

Ji Yuqiao’s breathing halted, her body staggering unsteadily to the side, only after bracing herself on a pole at the roadside did she steady herself.

The noise from the sidewalks grew louder in her ears, making breathing difficult.

The scene felt so familiar it filled her with dread.

When she was a child, the old lady she came across died in the same way.

If she hadn’t said she wanted paintbrushes back then, would the old lady not have gone to that unfamiliar street and not have been hit and killed on the road?

If she hadn’t told Lin Xu just now that she wanted to eat dried sweet potatoes, would Lin Xu not have crossed the street and avoided being hit by the car?

Ji Yuqiao stood still with an expressionless face, not even noticing the tears sliding down from her eyes.

After a long while, she came to her senses and quickly walked towards the center of the accident.

The closer she got, the clearer the blood spilled all over the ground became.

Ji Yuqiao’s steps became more and more rigid, and someone pushed her aside.

“The doctors are here, the doctors have arrived!”

“Little girl, step aside quickly, let the doctors in to save her.”

“Doctor, hurry, she’s barely breathing.”

The doctor’s actions were professional and sharp, quickly lifting the patient onto the stretcher and onto the ambulance.

Ji Yuqiao grabbed the door of the ambulance, her voice trembling, “Doctor, let me go with her, I’m her family!”
