Chapter 110: The Driver Came to Apologize
Why did Gu Zijin know about the will?
Actually, as a man who had stayed in the business circle for years, he could easily deduct what kind of tricks Yan Yuxiao would play.
After he left Yan Yuxiao, he drove to the hospital. At the moment, Mrs. Gu and Elderly Lady Gu were both sitting in the corridor while chatting. Seeing him coming, Mrs. Gu waved her hand to him smilingly,
“Zijin, where have you been? It took you so long.”
It took a long while for Mrs. Gu to coax Elderly Lady Gu. That truly was an exhausting job.
“I was out for some other business.”
The moment Elderly Lady Gu saw Gu Zijin, she was eager to raise her proposal again, “Zijin, have you considered marrying a decent wife?”
Right now, Elderly Lady Gu didn’t know that the will she had kept had already been found out and thrown back to Yan Yuxiao by Gu Zijin.
“Yes, I have.”
Gu Zijin nodded. Seeing that, Elderly Lady Gu was overjoyed. However, as she was about to continue, she was interrupted by Gu Zijin, “I want to marry Qin Muxuan.”
“You!” Those words were like a bolt of lightning striking Elderly Lady Gu. She opposed without any hesitation, “No way, it can’t be her. I will never agree!”
Qin Muxuan was only a normal girl right now. If she was still the lady of the Qin family, Elderly Lady Gu would still consider it. The old lady insisted that the woman without any noble title had no right to marry into the Gu family.
“Grandma, I only told you the woman I want to marry and was not asking for your permission.”
Gu Zijin said in a flat tone. Seeing that Elderly Lady Gu was about to fly into a rage, he continued, “Grandma, you shouldn’t have stayed outside too long considering your condition. Please go back now, if you still want to talk about this, let’s discuss it back home.”
After saying this, he pushed the door open and got in the ward without glancing at the old lady.
“What kind of attitude is that! Ye Han, this is the son you have raised! See how he treated his grandma!” Elderly Lady Gu trembled in anger while thumping her walking stick on the ground. She couldn’t understand why Gu Zijin never stopped mentioning Qin Muxuan.
“Mother, I’ll give Zijin an earful afterwards. Don’t be mad. Let’s go back home first, okay?”
Seeing that Elderly Lady Gu who had finally calmed down lost her temper again, Mrs. Gu then decided to take her home first.
After Gu Zijin walked into the ward, he saw the mother and son sleeping in each other’s arms on the bed. Then the look in his eyes turned soft.
He walked over and touched Qin Muxuan’s hair. Her eyes were still a bit red, which showed that she had just cried.
Gu Zijin knew that his grandma must have said something hurtful again.
His gentle move startled Qin Muxuan. When she opened her eyes and saw Gu Zijin, she made the ‘shh’ sign and said gently, “Xiaobai is sleeping now, don’t wake him up.”
Qin Xiaobai was asleep in Qin Muxuan’s arms like a little kitten, looking very adorable.
“You two have made it up?”
Gu Zijin lowered his voice subconsciously.
“Yes.” Qin Muxuan nodded with her tender eyes fixed on Qin Xiaobai, “Xiaobai has been talking with me the whole time. At last, we both got sleepy and fell asleep.”
She paused and then continued, “But he refused to tell me why he behaved like that last night.”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin held Qin Muxuan’s hand and said in a low voice, “It’s fine if he doesn’t want to say it.”
“Yeah.”
Since Qin Xiaobai was not willing to tell, Qin Muxuan didn’t want to push him anyway.
Meanwhile, after the investigation, the police found that the accident happened because the driver headed the wrong way and put the headlights on full beam. Therefore, the driver was punished with severity.
In the meantime, after Qin Feng knew that Qin Muxuan had a fracture on the leg due to the accident, he granted her a three-month leave. However, Qin Muxuan refused that. Although she had a fracture on the leg, her hands were perfectly fine, so she thought that she was able to work as usual.
Then, Nanny Chen brought Qin Muxuan’s laptop to the hospital for the latter to work.
Today, the driver’s whole family came to apologize to Qin Muxuan because they thought that they could say some sweet words to Qin Muxuan to make the latter agree with a lesser compensation.
“Miss Qin, I’m so sorry. I’m a new driver, never have I expected that something like this would happen. Would you please forgive me?”
The driver put on a fawning smile and pushed his wife to let her present the fruit basket, “Please pity me. We are not a rich family, so can you ask for less compensation?”
Qin Muxuan took a glance at the fruit basket beside her and scratched her head, feeling a pain in the neck.
“Sir, I have no intention to rip you off. The compensation has been decided by the police and the insurance and I have already paid for the extra fee. I don’t know why you are still bargaining here.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The driver chuckled and continued, “Alas, Miss Qin, I know that a person like you would never argue about this with us. I would deeply appreciate it if you could let us pay less. To put it bluntly, the insurance compensation which you can spare us is able to feed my whole family…”‘
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan got a bit curious and asked, “What kind of person is me?”
In her view, she was also just an ordinary woman.
‘What a weird person! Does he want to make a fortune out of the insurance compensation?’
The driver approached her and said in a low voice, “Miss Qin, you must be kidding. I know that the man I saw last night is President Gu. No one in this city doesn’t know about him. Since you are so rich, you wouldn’t care about the compensation at all, right?”
If it was impossible, the driver hoped that he could take all the insurance compensation.
Hearing his words, Qin Muxuan finally realized what was going on. With an indifferent look on her face, she said flatly, “Sorry, I cannot agree with you.”
The driver’s face turned sullen at once. He restrained his feelings and then said, “Miss Qin, my family is in poverty. After all, you don’t lack the money.”
His words just went more and more absurd.
Also, in poverty?
Qin Muxuan glanced at the three of them, finding the shoes that kid wore now were worth thousands of bucks and were the limited edition of this year. Was this called a family in poverty?
‘Are you pretending to be of the vulnerable groups to win my sympathy?’
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan said calmly, “Sorry, it’s not within my power.”
“You!”
The driver, ashamed and angry, pointed to Qin Muxuan and was about to curse her. However, he was suddenly startled by a cold voice and shut up.
“What happened, you have guests?” Gu Zijin walked in slowly in a suit, sending a chill down others’ spine, “You… you are that driver. What are you doing here?”
As the driver saw Gu Zijin, his legs started to tremble instantly. He had planned to make a deal with Qin Muxuan before Gu Zijin arrived. However, before Qin Muxuan agreed with him, Gu Zijin had already come back.
“President, President Gu.”
The driver gave an ingratiating smile and wanted to leave with his wife and kid right away, “I’m here to apologize. I’ll leave immediately! Right away!”
After saying this, they left the ward in a hurry.
Qin Muxuan who could finally have a break let out a deep breath and said to Gu Zijin, “If you had arrived a few minutes later, they would have annoyed the bejesus out of me.”
“What are they doing here?”
“Just apologizing.” Since the driver had already given up, she didn’t want to go behind him all the time, “Don’t you need to go to work today?”
“I’ll go in the afternoon.”
Gu Zijin put the vacuum bottle he had brought on the bedside table and said, “Nanny Chen has cooked bone soup for you, she said that we are what we eat.”
