Chapter 97: Car Accident
“How can he curse your parents? More like his parents are the ones who got into a car accident!”
Sun Xiaogang cursed under his breath. Suddenly, his phone screen lit up again.
This time, it was a WeChat message.
He clicked on it and saw that it was a friend request. The verification message read: “Approved. Let me show you the photo.”
Sun Xiaogang was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the other party was definitely the person who had called him just now.
“F*ck! Are you done? !”
Sun Xiaogang decisively added her as a friend and then opened the chatbox. His fingers moved as quickly as the wind as he typed out a bunch of curses.
Before he could send the text, the other party had already sent the photo over.
The lower half of the woman’s face in the photo was obviously deformed and covered in bandages.
However, she was still conscious and looked at the camera helplessly.
Sun Xiaogang could recognize that pair of eyes. It was indeed his mother!
Then, a second photo was sent over.
The man in the photo was unconscious and had tubes inserted all over his body. It was Sun Xiaogang’s father!
“Bang!”
Sun Xiaogang’s phone fell on the table with a muffled sound.
This sound was especially obvious in the quiet classroom.
The teacher on the podium looked over and found that it was Sun Xiaogang again. He scolded him unhappily, “Hey, if you don’t want to listen to the class, you can go out. Don’t be so noisy, lest you affect the class.”
Sun Xiaogang pretended not to hear it and stared at the phone screen in a daze until a new message popped up on the screen.
“Central Hospital Emergency Ward 302, please come here as soon as possible.”
Sun Xiaogang had no choice but to accept reality. Trembling, he gripped his phone tightly, stood up, and rushed out of the classroom.
He didn’t bother to explain anything. In fact, his mind was completely blank. The only thought in his mind was to hurry to the hospital!
He hated himself for not being able to fly!
The teacher didn’t expect that he would actually run out without saying a word. He was instantly furious.
“What’s his name? What’s his student number?”
The teacher pointed at Sun Xiaogang’s empty seat and asked angrily.
From the looks of it, he was definitely going to make Sun Xiaogang fail.
Lin Bai quickly stood up and explained, “Sir, I’m sorry. He didn’t do it on purpose.”
“His parents were in a car accident and were in the hospital. They were too anxious. Please forgive them. I’ll make up for the leave of absence later. Sorry, Sorry.”
Lin Bai quickly explained and chased after them.
He was really worried and let Sun Xiaogang go to the hospital alone.
The news came too suddenly. Sun Xiaogang was too traumatized and Lin Bai was afraid that something would happen to him halfway through.
Previously, when Yu Jinmo was humiliated by the dorm manager, it was all thanks to Sun Xiaogang’s help that he got out of trouble.
Lin Bai had not repaid the favor yet. Now that Sun Xiaogang’s parents had gotten into an accident, he could not sit idly by.
Lin Bai quickly caught up with Sun Xiaogang and said to him, “I’ll go with you.”
It was a simple sentence but it made Sun Xiaogang’s flustered mood instantly calm down a lot.
It was like a drowning man who had finally caught the lifebuoy.
“My parents are seriously injured…”
Lin Bai did not wait for him to finish his sentence and patted his shoulder hard.
“You don’t have to worry about the medical fees. I’m here.”
Sun Xiaogang said with red eyes, “Thank you. Thank you so much.”
Lin Bai said, “Don’t say that if you consider me your brother. Let’s go. Uncle and Auntie are still waiting for you in the hospital.”
The two of them rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. They only understood what had happened after meeting the attending doctor.
It turned out that today was Sun Xiaogang’s birthday. His parents wanted to give him a surprise.
So they deliberately hid it from him and deliberately drove over from their hometown with a cake.
Unexpectedly, there was a car accident on the highway.
The cause of the accident was also very helpless.
A stray dog ran into the highway somehow. The driver of the car in front of them saw a dog scuttling out and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
As a result, Sun Xiaogang’s parents were rear-ended.
What was worse was that the airbags in their car did not inflate, which was why the old couple was so badly injured.
Sun Xiaogang’s father suffered multiple fractures on his body and his head was also severely injured. He had been unconscious and was still in critical condition.
His mother, on the other hand, was relatively better. She was still conscious, but her jaw was shattered and she could not speak.
That was why she could not contact Sun Xiaogang personally. She could only write down his phone number and let the doctor contact him on her behalf.
The driver of the previous car which was rear-ended by their car, was also slightly injured without any major issues.
Perhaps the more troublesome thing was that it was a top-notch Maserati. The repair cost was definitely not a small figure.
Both parties were actually responsible for this accident. The driver of the car in front should not have suddenly stopped while Sun Xiaogang’s parents did not maintain a safe distance between them.
Therefore, the division of the specific responsibility for the accident was still up to the traffic police’s discretion.
If Sun Xiaogang’s parents were required to pay for the repair fees, it would undoubtedly make their family’s situation worse.
After understanding the situation clearly, Lin Bai only said one sentence to Sun Xiaogang.
“Leave the issue about money to me. You just have to take care of uncle and aunt.”
Lin Bai then paid off the emergency rescue treatment fee and deposited a large sum of money in the hospital. He also left his phone number so that the hospital could inform him to pay the bill at any time.
When he returned after settling everything, Lin Bai found that there was a stranger in the ward.
The man looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was dressed in a suit and had a greasy face, which was quite disgusting.
He stood beside the bed that Sun Xiaogang’s mother was on and raised his chin slightly. His expression was cold and arrogant. He spoke in a tone that was almost like he was giving alms, “Our boss, Mr. Ling is deeply sorry for your family’s suffering.”
“However, I have to make it clear to you on behalf of Mr. Ling that the accident happened because your parents did not maintain a safe distance between their car and Mr. Ling’s. It is not Mr. Ling’s responsibility.”
“President Ling was also injured in the accident. However, since your family’s financial situation is limited, President Ling will not ask you to pay for the medical expenses. There is 200,000 yuan in this card. It is a token of our President Ling’s goodwill.”
“I have to emphasize again that this is not a form of compensation. It is just that President Ling is kind-hearted so he would like to give a little help to your family out of kindness.”
“President Ling is very busy and doesn’t have time to be embroiled in such trivial matters. Let’s end this matter here.”
The man in the suit finished his sentence without giving Sun Xiaogang a chance to speak.
After saying that, he casually threw the bank card on the hospital bed and turned around to leave, as if he was sure that Sun Xiaogang would not refuse the money.
“Stop!”
Sun Xiaogang forcefully threw the bank card beside the man in the suit’s feet and roared,
“Take your stinky money and get lost!”
The man in the suit laughed contemptuously.
“You think it’s too little? I advise you not to push your luck. Otherwise, President Ling will not give you a single cent.”
“Don’t think that you’re justified just because you’re miserable. It’s because your car was too close that you rear-ended him. President Ling is not obliged to compensate you.”
