Chapter 1143: 791 Wedding Candy

"Little Jiang, there’s no need to discuss these matters with me, just talk to Qian Qian about it. I’m already retired."

Because he didn’t want to visit Great Wall Group again anytime soon.

Of course.

It wasn’t out of fear, certainly not.

It was just to avoid awkwardness.

So, when he had time, Jiang Chen made a trip back to East Sea.

Upon returning to East Sea, his first action was to pay a visit to Shi Zhenhua.

Not to mention the care Shi Zhenhua had shown him, after all, Jin Hai remained the fourth-largest shareholder of Great Wall, and although the food delivery wars were public knowledge and Shi Zhenhua would have certainly heard about them, hearing it directly from him was a different matter—it was a form of respect.

"Director Shi, dinner is ready."

The housekeeper came out.

"Let’s go, have dinner."

Shi Zhenhua smiled, rising to his feet.

Sitting in the courtyard, Jiang Chen followed him into the manor, "Aren’t we waiting for her?"

"She probably won’t come back for dinner today."

As they reached the dining room, Shi Zhenhua gestured for Jiang Chen to sit and explained, "An old business friend of mine has a child getting married; she’s gone to the wedding banquet."

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself in mute surprise.

The Witch used to be very resistant to such social commitments; it seemed that after taking over Jin Hai, she indeed changed.

Because they were quite familiar with each other already, there was no awkwardness even in the absence of Shi Qianxi.

The two men, a generation apart, chatted and laughed at the table, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.

The dinner lasted from dusk until nighttime.

"Uncle Shi, I’ll take my leave now."

After sitting for a while after the meal, Jiang Chen found it timely to bid farewell.

"Aren’t you going to wait for Qian Qian? She should be back soon."

Jiang Chen hesitated, and before he could respond, Shi Zhenhua’s phone rang.

"Is she all right?"

"Mhm, I understand."

"This child..."

Shi Zhenhua sighed, putting down the phone.

"Uncle Shi, what’s going on?"

Jiang asked.

"Qian Qian had a car accident."

A car accident?

The image of that wilful, spoiled face sprung up in Jiang Chen’s mind, instinctively tightening his heart, but then he quickly realized.

If that Witch had actually been hurt, Shi Zhenhua’s reaction wouldn’t be like this.

"She’s not injured, is she?"

"Should be fine; she had some alcohol at the banquet and hit the green belt."

Doesn’t she learn anything from my example?

Don’t drink and drive, don’t drive after drinking.

"I’ll go pick her up."

Seeing that Shi Zhenhua was about to leave, Jiang Chen hesitated and then offered, "Let me go. Which hospital?"

Shi Zhenhua looked at him, and without any formality, as there was no problem with the bodyguard calling, said,

"The First People’s Hospital."

Leaving Shi Family Manor, Jiang Chen drove to the hospital. After parking the car, he took out his phone and scrolled to a contact labeled "Devil."

"What do you want?"

Her voice was relatively sober, but with a slight hint of alcohol.

"Where are you?"

"What do you mean, where?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the hospital’s outpatient building, "I heard you crashed into a tree? Pretty impressive driving skills."

There was silence on the other end—probably astonished at how well-informed he was.

Jiang Chen didn’t tease her further.

"I’m back in East Sea, I was just having dinner with Uncle Shi at your place."

After explaining, there was still silence on the other end.

"I’m at the hospital now."

He continued.

"Why are you here?"

One could sense, beneath a feigned nonchalance, a slight jump of excitement.

Miss Shi.

Still playing the aloof princess.

In a fleeting moment.

It felt like he had returned to the time when he had first met her.

Memories flitted through his mind and, unbidden, a smile spread across Jiang Chen’s face.

Even when approaching Li Shuru, he always had an ulterior motive, but with this Witch...

Unknowingly, for some unknown reason, it has come to this stage.

"It seems like you’re fine then. I’ll be heading back."

After waiting a moment and receiving no response, Jiang Chen ended the call.

But he remained standing beside his car.

Not leaving.

He waited a moment longer, but the phone remained silent.

In the past, that Witch would have called back and scolded him harshly.

It seemed like nothing had changed, and yet everything seemed different.

With these quiet reflections, Jiang Chen slipped his phone back into his pocket and walked towards the outpatient building.

The emergency department.

The doctors had just finished a thorough and comprehensive check-up.

While there was no visible injury and the collision wasn’t severe, they couldn’t take it lightly as this was the director of Jin Hai, a lady of great value.

"Director Shi, you should be fine."

After bustling around for an hour or two, Shi Qianxi’s effects from alcohol had considerably faded, and her patience had also waned.

"Can I go now?"

"Yes, if you feel unwell in any way once you’re back home, get in touch with us at any time."

Escorted by the hospital staff, Shi Qianxi stepped out of the emergency room.

Several bodyguards followed quietly behind her in the corridor.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Shi Qianxi’s heels clinked crisply against the smooth marble floor.

Ahead.

A figure stepped around the corner.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Shi Qianxi kept advancing, her expression coldly beautiful and haughty.

The newcomer was positioned just right to block her path.

The bodyguards behind her were about to step forward.

"Did the collision not damage your visual nerves?"

Jiang Chen’s greeting was as usual.

Shi Qianxi, too, was straightforward, lifting her seven or eight centimeters high, red-soled laced heels and aimed a stomp at his foot.

But Jiang Chen had anticipated it, stepping back just in time to evade.

There was a "snap."

The heel broke off.

It seems not all expensive things have good quality.

Of course.

Or maybe the Witch just applied too much force.

"Drunk driving and wearing heels while driving, didn’t the police invite you over for a chat?"

Jiang Chen lifted his gaze from the broken heel.

Seeing this, the observant bodyguards halted their advance.

Shi Qianxi gave him a cold glance; perhaps because the bodyguards were present and she was maintaining her dignity, she didn’t engage in a verbal fight, and wordlessly bypassed him, continuing forward.
