Chapter 833: Chapter 299: The Empress and the Imperial Consort Gather Together! (Part 2)
Apart from the executives and employees of New Era, the other two visitors were Lu Haoran and Xiaoyanzi.
This continued until nightfall, when Song Yuwei came for the second time.
"Yuwei, you’re here at a good time. Can I trouble you to watch over Zelin for a bit? I have to take my parents and aunt and uncle to the rented apartment and bring some clothes over."
For the next few days, Qin Shiqing planned to stay at the hospital as a close caregiver. But she needed to prepare some things, and though she wouldn’t be gone for long, she didn’t feel comfortable leaving Su Zelin alone in the hospital room.
Because the experts said that after a concussion, symptoms like headaches, dizziness, short-term memory loss, and dry heaving could occur. It’s usually not very serious, but caution is still needed, lest Su Zelin suddenly feel dizzy while using the restroom and fall.
"Alright, no problem. Don’t worry, you can go back; I’ll take care of things here!"
Qin Shiqing’s request hit Song Yuwei’s sweet spot, and of course, she agreed without hesitation.
"Thanks, Yuwei!"
"No need to be polite, you’re my friend, and the boss takes such good care of me all the time. It’s the least I can do!"
"..."
Qin Shiqing left with their parents, leaving just two people in the hospital room.
The female assistant sat beside Su Zelin, her voice becoming much softer: "Would you like me to peel an apple for you?"
"No need, I just had dinner."
As he spoke, Su Zelin took her hand.
Song Yuwei instantly became nervous, her eyes darting towards the door, worried that Qin Shiqing might have forgotten something and returned.
After observing for a while and noticing no movement, she assumed Qin Shiqing had indeed left and finally relaxed.
"Do you know that when I got the news that you had an accident on the highway and crashed into a big truck, I was scared to death, and Shiqing was also terrified!"
Song Yuwei’s beautiful eyes were slightly red.
She couldn’t express too much emotion in front of Qin Shiqing.
The mischief smiled slightly: "Hehe, there’s no need to worry. There’s a saying that goes, ’Good people don’t live long, but disasters linger for a thousand years.’ I’m bound to live a long time as a bad guy."
"You shouldn’t talk about yourself like that!"
Song Yuwei rolled her eyes at him: "Even though you’ve caused trouble for many girls, you’re not really a bad guy, which is why I’m willing to be troubled by you!"
"Time to take your temperature."
A nurse suddenly walked in.
This nurse was small and skinny, her footsteps making no sound, and neither of them noticed her.
With someone else present, Song Yuwei quickly let go of his hand.
But it was already too late; the young nurse noticed the scene and found it a bit odd.
The girl accompanying the man throughout the afternoon seemed to be his girlfriend, so why was he holding hands with another woman?
Looking so handsome and wealthy, he might have more than one girlfriend.
The young nurse acted as if she hadn’t seen anything and proceeded to take Su Zelin’s temperature.
During the hospital stay, resting and recuperating take priority, but his temperature had to be checked several times a day as part of the routine.
Once the nurse left, Song Yuwei refused to let Su Zelin fool around, fearing gossip might reach Qin Shiqing’s ears, so she just chatted with him, avoiding boredom.
...
Hao Yue Garden Residential Area.
"Mom and Dad, aunt and uncle, this is the apartment I rent. You’ll have to make do here for the night."
Qin Shiqing led their parents into the living room.
With two rooms, two living areas, and three bedrooms, both the master bedroom and guest rooms had beds. Since she’d be keeping watch in the hospital tonight, the four adults would have no issues staying here.
Zhao Lixia glanced around the apartment, her face quickly revealing a subtle smile.
Clearly, Qin Shiqing wasn’t living alone.
If she were by herself, there would be no need to rent such a large place.
Two mugs on the coffee table, men’s clothing hanging on the balcony, a PS game console beside the TV cabinet...
The signs all indicated that the two kids were living together, which was as expected.
Qin Shiqing knew she couldn’t hide it from her family but still went to the bedroom to tidy up briefly, noticing that condoms were on the nightstand, which wouldn’t be good if seen.
"Mom and Dad, aunt and uncle, there’s fresh meat, eggs, and vegetables in the fridge. The rice is over there; you can cook yourselves or eat at the downstairs restaurant if you prefer."
As it’s all family, Qin Shiqing didn’t stand on ceremony, especially since she had to hurry back to the hospital.
Qin Daqing nodded: "Alright, daughter, we can take care of ourselves. You go take care of Zelin first."
"Yes, if anything comes up, just call me."
While speaking, Qin Shiqing gathered several sets of clothing, packed toothpaste, towels, slippers, and buckets, and rushed out the door.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she found an unexpected visitor in addition to Song Yuwei.
This was a stylishly dressed, devilishly figured girl she had met at Su Zelin’s birthday party, a member of his allied dormitory named Ding Linna.
After graduation, she started a company in Lin’an focused on trendy brands, with her boyfriend also having a stake.
At her boyfriend’s birthday party, Qin Shiqing met many of his classmates, friends, and colleagues. There was no shortage of beautiful girls, but she was particularly impressed by Nanaz.
Even more than others, this hot-bodied girl’s behavior felt a bit odd to Qin Shiqing, who couldn’t quite put her finger on it but had a keen intuition that this girl might be interested in her boyfriend.
However, Qin Shiqing didn’t suspect Su Zelin of having an affair with Nanaz, as she trusted him a lot. They were merely close friends, and Nanaz had a one-sided crush on Su Zelin; she didn’t ask further.
Nanaz didn’t hear about Su Zelin’s accident until nighttime.
This accident made it to Lin’an’s evening news, with reporters even filming at the scene.
After starting her company, Nanaz became accustomed to watching the news, particularly local news.
The moment she saw a black Passat, her interest was piqued, and upon recognizing it as Su Zelin’s work car, she was shocked and immediately called his phone, which was off. The phone had flown out during the crash and was crushed, so he needed a new one, but hadn’t gotten his SIM card replaced yet.
Typically, Su Zelin never had his phone off, so Nanaz was increasingly worried. She then called Liuu Wanyin, who confirmed through Xiaoliu that Su Zelin was indeed in an accident, although he only sustained minor injuries.
Nanaz left her dinner unfinished, put the bowl down, and rushed to the hospital.
"Hello, I’m Ding Linna, we’ve met before."
Nanaz initiated the conversation.
"Ah, hello!"
The visitor came to check on her boyfriend, and regardless, it was out of goodwill, so Qin Shiqing responded courteously.
After putting away the clothes and towels, there wasn’t anything pressing in the room, so they casually chatted.
Perhaps due to her successful company, Nanaz appeared more confident and less submissive than when she first met the queen bee of the big circle, her tone noticeably different.
Back on Su Zelin’s birthday evening, she hadn’t graduated yet, a poor student without merits other than beauty and a great figure—nothing to compare to Qin Shiqing.
Now as a shareholder and general manager of a company, her status had changed, giving her more self-assurance.
"Senior!"
A figure dashed into the hospital room, panting heavily—this time it was the young junior.
The news of Su Zelin’s car accident somehow spread across the college’s BBS.
Although the mischievous legend had left campus recently, his influence remained strong there, and many paid attention to related posts, which Huang Panpan’s roommate stumbled upon and informed her.
Huang Panpan’s reaction was just like Nanaz’s; she immediately tried calling, but it didn’t go through, so the young junior thought to call Zhao Lixia, who had Granny Su’s phone number.
Zhao Lixia knew better than to lie and told her the truth, albeit from the balcony, avoiding letting Liu Sufen overhear and get upset.
With Su Granny’s information on the hospital and room number, so the young junior popped up.
Su Zelin was a bit speechless.
Great, now look.
The queen and concubine are together.
Darn, it’s lively!
