Chapter 712: Love Above All Chapter 71

Gu Xiaoxi lay in bed and had Qiao Wan inquire about Chen Lu’s condition.

Chen Lu’s injuries were quite severe, reportedly including a broken arm and a minor concussion.

She was staying in the hospital room next to her own, accompanied by the Chen family members.

"Miss," Qiao Wan worriedly said, "Miss Chen won’t try to scam you, will she? Her injuries are quite severe after all."

Gu Xiaoxi pulled the covers up over herself—autumn nights were rather cold.

"The traffic police already took evidence; how is she going to scam me? I’m already being lenient by not asking her to compensate for my car."

Qiao Wan nodded, thought for a moment, and said with regret, "Indeed, Miss’s car is so expensive, and it had an accident on its first drive. That’s so unlucky! She ran the red light; she definitely should compensate you."

"Alright, keep an eye on her for me. Let me know when she wakes up!" Gu Xiaoxi said and then closed her eyes to sleep.

If Chen Lu’s arm became disabled, would Quan Shaoqing still marry her?

She couldn’t help but feel a touch of evil satisfaction, but then she rebuked herself for having such malevolent thoughts.

Whether Quan Shaoqing marries Chen Lu or not is none of her business.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi was eating breakfast.

Noisy sounds came from outside the hospital room, and soon Qiao Wan rushed in, anxiously telling Gu Xiaoxi, "Miss Chen has awakened."

Gu Xiaoxi continued eating her meal without looking up, knowing it would turn out this way.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the person was alright. Otherwise, the Chen family would surely hate her to death.

After eating, Gu Xiaoxi’s wound on her forehead still ached faintly.

She took out her phone to play games, passing the time.

Around noon, someone pushed open her hospital room door.

Thinking it was Qiao Wan, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t pay much attention, but then she lifted her head when she noticed the sound of several people’s footsteps right after.

She saw three or four people standing at the door of the hospital room.

The parents of the Chen family, along with Quan Shaoqing.

Gu Xiaoxi set down her phone and asked coolly, raising an eyebrow, "Uncle, Auntie, did you need something from me?"

Chen Lu’s father stepped forward with a grave expression, "Madam, we’re sorry. It was all Lulu’s fault, and she even damaged your car, causing you to be hospitalized as well. We are here on behalf of Lulu to apologize to you."

"No need, it wasn’t that big of a deal. Just be more careful when driving next time." Gu Xiaoxi said offhandedly while her gaze lingered on Quan Shaoqing.

As an important figure, shouldn’t he be busy?

Hanging around Chen Lu, it looked like they were really hitting it off.

Gu Xiaoxi said nothing, and after a glance at Quan Shaoqing, the Chen family parents left.

Soon, the only people left in the hospital room were Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing.

Quan Shaoqing walked forward, and his gaze inadvertently caught sight of the lighter on Gu Xiaoxi’s bedside, causing him a brief moment of astonishment!

He gave it to her; he hadn’t expected she would still keep it.

What did this mean? Did this mean that she had a place for him in her heart too?

"Does your wound still hurt?"

Gu Xiaoxi’s hand paused on the game she was playing, but only for a moment.

"You’re asking me? Shouldn’t you be more concerned about Chen Lu? Her injuries are more serious than mine." Her voice was flat, showing no emotion, but it sounded particularly awkward to Quan Shaoqing’s ears.

Quan Shaoqing extended the car keys towards Gu Xiaoxi, saying, "She crashed your car, so this is to compensate you."

Gu Xiaoxi looked up, her gaze falling on the car keys in front of her, and raised her eyebrow, "You’re compensating on her behalf? You’re quite the devoted fiancé!"

"So do you want it or not? If not, let it go. It was originally a car I bought for her to drive yesterday morning, but since she crashed yours, I am giving it to you, although she is quite reluctant to part with it." Quan Shaoqing casually twirled the car keys, as if he would take them back if Gu Xiaoxi didn’t want them!

Gu Xiaoxi put down her phone and stared at the car keys for quite a while. Just as Quan Shaoqing was about to take back the keys, she snatched them away, "Why wouldn’t I want it! This is the compensation you owe me for my loss! And while you’re at it, pay for my medical expenses too!"
