Chapter 701: Chapter 509: A Regrettable Decision
Chen Pingsheng returned ho at nine o’clock in the evening.
Chen An’an was still awake, reviewing her books, while Er Piya always played until exhausted before sleeping.
This didn’t require calling anyone to enforce.
After taking a bath and getting ready for bed, his phone rang several tis in the room.
It was only after Peng Ying from upstairs ca down to knock on the door that he learned sothing had happened at ho.
Peng Ying hurriedly called him to rush to the hospital.
Chen Sai was hit by several young people while making a delivery, and by now had already been taken to the hospital.
The second aunt was frantically pacing, and the second uncle was also on his way to Magic City.
Today, while driving, Chen Pingsheng felt that running a red light was too dangerous and intended to remind her.
He didn’t expect an accident to occur so soon.
By the ti he arrived at the hospital, it was eleven o’clock at night, and Chen Sai was in the ergency room.
Her six-year-old daughter was crying bitterly outside.
No matter how her grandparents tried to console her, it was no use; as for the people who hit her, they were not wholly without responsibility.
At the very least, they had sent her to the hospital imdiately.
And there was soone he recognized among them.
Wasn’t it Yang Ziqi, whom he had t before?
She was with a few classmates, certainly all having been drinking as they ca from a bar.
But by the ti Chen Sai was hit, she was already unconscious. She was running a red light, while Yang Ziqi and her group were drunk driving.
They didn’t dare notify the traffic police.
Issues that could be settled with money were not considered big issues.
The car wasn’t driven by Yang Ziqi, but by one of her female classmates.
That person also paid a deposit of one hundred thousand yuan at the hospital.
They were just waiting for Chen Sai to be discharged to discuss how to settle this matter.
Soon, the parents of the female classmate who hit her also arrived.
When they learned that their daughter had hit soone while drunk driving, their expression changed for a mont.
Hearing from her that the police hadn’t been called, they discreetly sent their daughter ho without making a sound.
Both were cunning foxes, quickly formulating a plan in their mind.
By the next day, when the other party reacted, their daughter’s alcohol effects had completely worn off.
By then, it was fundantally all Chen Sai’s fault for running the red light.
When they ca here, they didn’t care at all how Chen Sai, who had been hit, was doing.
They were only thinking about absolving their daughter of responsibility, fearing entanglent with such delivery people.
When Chen Pingsheng proactively approached to ask them, Yang Ziqi quietly added a line.
A relative of the driver.
“How do you want to handle this matter?”
Wang Gang said, “Don’t worry, we won’t shortchange you a penny of what we owe.”
Chen Pingsheng nodded. Since they said so, he had not much else to say.
They seed to have a sense of responsibility.
Just wait until Chen Sai gets better to see.
Chen Sai worked long hours making deliveries, typically from nine in the morning to eleven at night.
She also had to take care of picking up and dropping off her daughter at school.
For her, every extra penny earned was a security for her daughter’s future.
A single mother who married the wrong man in the first half of her life, wanted nothing more in the second half than to earn more money and raise her daughter well.
Hoping that when her daughter grows up and marries, she could marry soone she truly loves.
Little did she expect that not long after starting her delivery job, she would be hit by a car.
Misfortune always targets the unfortunate!
No matter what, after she recovers, Chen Pingsheng will not let her deliver takeout again.
The next day.
Chen Sai was slowly getting better, barely able to speak, but her foot was still in a huge plaster cast.
It looked like it would be two months before she could walk normally.
“I saw you running a red light yesterday while delivering, I was about to remind you, but you ran too fast.”
“I’m sorry, Pingsheng.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Chen Pingsheng said, “The doctor said you’re lucky it was only your foot and it needs two months to recover. After you’re healed, don’t run for deliveries anymore. I’ll buy a storefront for you in Magic City, and you can run a small business yourself.”
“I…” Chen Sai didn’t know what to say.
When she was younger, she had a good relationship with Chen Pingsheng, mainly because their families lived close by and were of similar age.
Later, when Chen Pingsheng went to Capital City, they seldom stayed in touch.
The property in Magic City is expensive, and storefronts are definitely more so, she knew that well.
That’s why she was surprised.
“Just focus on your recovery for now, money is not an issue.”
Chen Pingsheng tried to comfort her, but Peng Ying entered angrily.
If you want to know what’s the matter, she directed Chen Pingsheng to go outside and see for himself.
The family involved in the accident had co back, along with Yang Ziqi who ca with them.
Their attitude had shifted significantly from the previous day.
Just overnight, they changed their statent, declaring the main cause of the accident was Chen Sai running a red light.
They claid no responsibility and even suggested they could demand Chen Sai to compensate for their car damage.
“Wait a minute, I can’t understand what you’re saying now.”
“Humph, if you don’t understand, I’ll say it again. This person being hit has nothing to do with my daughter, it’s mainly because she ran a red light. The 100,000 yuan yesterday was just a token from us, of course, the last one too. If you don’t want any trouble, it’s best you sign this agreent now and don’t expect to bother my daughter for money later.”
Chen Pingsheng then understood, they were afraid of being extorted by Chen Sai.
Their intent was clear; they would pay the 100,000 yuan they initially offered, but you must sign this liability agreent.
And ensure you never seek any more money from their family.
Chen Pingsheng laughed angrily, “I thought you two had a good attitude yesterday, seems you were just waiting for your daughter’s alcohol to wear off before coming to deny responsibility.”
“No matter what you say, I can only tell you this, Magic City isn’t as simple as you think, and don’t think just because you’re a driver for a boss, you can handle everything.”
Wang Gang directly threatened, “Our family is not soone you as a driver can afford to ss with.”
Chen Pingsheng really wanted to say why he was assud to be just a driver, oh… got it.
It must have been sothing Yang Ziqi told him.
He looked at the female passenger he had driven, “Was your classmate drunk driving and hit my cousin yesterday? You ca out from the bar together with her, you know it best.
“I advise you to think carefully before answering!”
Yang Ziqi was in a dilemma; Wang Gang had already warned her.
As long as she changes her statent, her classmate would be free of any responsibility.
And the fact that Chen Pingsheng was driving, that was sothing she voluntarily told her classmate’s father.
They had plans to beco stars after graduation, and if it gets out now that she hit soone while drunk,
Her best friend’s career would be utterly ruined.
One side was her best friend, the other a stranger.
And Mr. Wang had given people 100,000 yuan, as long as they didn’t have the mindset of extorting.
It should be enough.
Yang Ziqi firmly said, “My classmate indeed has no responsibility, it was your cousin who ran the red light and got hit.”
“Fine, I actually understand you people, if I changed my identity and talked to you today, you probably wouldn’t dare make such a scene.”
Chen Pingsheng said, “My cousin might just be a delivery person, but she has as her cousin, and I will absolutely not let her be bullied.
“As for you…” Chen Pingsheng stared at Yang Ziqi and coldly said, “I will make sure you regret this decision for the rest of your life.”
Yang Ziqi really wanted to say what gives you the right, but you’re just a broken driver after all.
