Chapter 709: Love Above All Chapter 68 Green Hat

He could only pray that Chen Lu would emerge unharmed.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the operating room, and looking at the haggard old couple not far away, felt a twinge of guilt. Was she being too aggressive?

Though it was Chen Lu who had caused the accident by running a red light, she was the one who was most seriously injured.

Here she was, demanding compensation in front of their parents, while Chen Lu’s life hung in the balance in the operating room!

Gu Xiaoxi tugged at Bai Yu’s hand, "Let’s forget it, we should go."

"You’re not going to seek compensation? Your car was worth three hundred million, and it was totaled just after leaving the garage." Bai Yu was not used to seeing Gu Xiaoxi showing leniency.

"Forget it, it’s just a car! I’ll take the bus from now on." Gu Xiaoxi, holding Bai Yu’s hand, prepared to leave, only to see a man with an entourage rushing in from outside as she turned around.

When Chen Lu’s parents saw the man, they quickly stood up, tears streaming down their faces as they clutched his hand, "Shaoqing! Lulu’s had an accident, please tell the doctors to save her."

"Don’t worry for now. I’ll have my doctor take a look." Quan Shaoqing’s usual coldness was evident in his voice, which remained aloof even in such a moment.

Gu Xiaoxi, Bai Yu, and Mi Xi stood to one side, watching as Quan Shaoqing spoke to a doctor with an impressively handsome subordinate.

The operating room door opened to let the young man in.

Having not seen Quan Shaoqing for a year, he seemed unchanged, still exuding a deep and aloof coldness. Despite his features being enchantingly beautiful, his innate indifference made him seem impenetrable to strangers.

Clearly, because he was in such a hurry, he hadn’t noticed her presence at all.

"Why is he here?" Gu Xiaoxi asked offhandedly, as though she asked without thinking, yet as if she already knew the answer.

It was said that Chen Lu had always had a good relationship with him!

"Don’t you know? Quan Shaoqing and Chen Lu are engaged. A Country has seven dukes, and the Chen Family is the leader among them. Even my brother holds them in high regard. Not only is Chen Lu beautiful, but whoever marries her may not only win a beauty but could also gain control of the world." Bai Yu was not making this up.

The Chen Family’s status and influence in A Country were much stronger than one might imagine, deserving their position as the preeminent hereditary nobility, with ties to the military, politics, and business.

It was the Chen Family that Bai Yaxuan had relied on when taking the seat of the presidency.

If it weren’t for the early engagement between Bai Yaxuan and Gu Xiaoxi, and the fact that Chen Lu wasn’t particularly fond of Bai Yaxuan, they might have been united in marriage already.

...

Gu Xiaoxi, Bai Yu, and the others quietly left. After all, it wasn’t her fault. Even if the Chen Family came looking for trouble, they would have no grounds to do so.

The evidence at the police station was conclusive.

At the entrance of the hospital, Gu Xiaoxi said to Mi Xi, "Brother, you should go back to work. I have Bai Yu with me, and I’ll be okay."

"Why do you look so pale? Are you sure you’re alright?" Mi Xi gazed at Gu Xiaoxi’s pallid cheeks, deeply concerned.

It seemed that as soon as she left the operating room door, she became somewhat disoriented.

"I’m really fine! I have to see the Holy Emperor tonight. It’s just a minor injury. Now we’re going to find Lele," Gu Xiaoxi said with a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Mi Xi gave her a long, hard look before leaving his driver behind and taking a taxi away.

It was clear that Gu Xiaoxi didn’t want him to follow her.

After Mi Xi left, Bai Yu nudged her shoulder and asked, looking at her noticeably unhappy profile, "What’s wrong? You suddenly seem unhappy."

Gu Xiaoxi looked up blankly, "Is it that obvious?"

Bai Yu nodded, "Did something unhappy come to mind?"

Gu Xiaoxi’s lips pressed into a thin line as she scoffed...

It seemed she really had thought of something unhappy!

Once, a man had confessed his love to her, insisting she was the one he liked.

And yet, in the blink of an eye, he was engaged to another woman!

The most ludicrous part was that she had taken his words seriously!

"Let’s go find Lele." Gu Xiaoxi got in the car and sat in the back with Bai Yu; the driver and car were provided by Mi Xi, ensuring their safety.

On the way, Gu Xiaoxi unwrapped the gauze from her head, intending to buy a hat to wear.

"Xiao Xi, you’re still injured, this isn’t good!" Bai Yu hurriedly interjected.

"What’s so bad about it, do you want me to spend my birthday wrapped in gauze?" Gu Xiaoxi threw the bandage into a nearby trash can, taking Bai Yu’s hand as they made their way to the mall.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiaoxi bought a green hat to wear.

Bai Yu almost laughed and fell over, "Xiao Xi, dare you to let my brother see you like this?"

Gu Xiaoxi wearing the green hat turned heads wherever she went.

"Whether he cares about what kind of hat I wear is not his business! I just like this green hat!"

Bai Yu’s mouth twitched, sensing something was off with her.

"Boss, give me a black one." Bai Yu said, and picked one up too, purely as a backup for Gu Xiaoxi.

If she met Bai Yaxuan wearing a green hat, it would be so awkward!

As the two finished buying their hats and headed out of the mall, they bumped into a familiar face right at the entrance!

Gu Xiaoxi felt as if she hadn’t checked her horoscope before leaving the house that day; one misfortune after another seemed to befall her.

At the diamond counter not far away, a man and woman were sitting, with the man’s features exquisitely demonic, and the woman dressed skimpily with voluptuous curves, typifying the kind that could drive a man wild.
