Love You Till the End
Chapter 139: Your Car Sure Is Expensive

Although the hospital director knew she was planning to transfer hospitals, the incident happened abruptly yesterday, and she was worried the director might be concerned, so she decided to inform her in person.

Unfortunately, the director had gone abroad for a research study, reportedly on a flight at six o’clock this morning.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Cheng made a phone call to Shen Zhongming.

She originally wanted to ask where he was, but before she could, she heard a noisy clamor coming through the phone.

"Come on, come on, no more bets..."

"Big, big, big!"

"Small, small, small—"

"Damn it!" Shen Cheng exploded in anger, "You haven’t called me since yesterday, and you still have the nerve to gamble! Aren’t you afraid I might be kidnapped?"

"My girl is smart and clever; who could kidnap her? Besides, would your husband, my son-in-law, ever let you get kidnapped?"

"Get lost!"

"Okay, girl, don’t be mad. Dad will treat you to lunch as compensation..."

"I’m not eating! I have no appetite!"

After saying that, Shen Cheng hung up the phone.

Out of habit, she looked both ways before crossing the street, making sure there were no vehicles before she started.

But just as she reached the middle of the road, a black sports car came speeding around a bend.

Seeing someone ahead, the driver reacted quickly, immediately hitting the brakes and sharply turning the steering wheel—

As the car swerved, the side mirror just scraped Shen Cheng’s arm. Losing her balance, she fell to the ground, her knee hitting the pavement and bleeding.

Her phone also fell to the ground, shattering.

Then there was a loud bang as the car hit a streetlight on the side of the road.

Luckily, the car wasn’t going very fast, so the damage to the front was minor. Thanks to the timely deployment of the airbags, no one inside the car was injured.

Soon, the car door opened, and a man and a woman, both about 26 or 27 years old, got out.

The man wore a neat suit, his tie perfectly straightened, and his designer shoes shined to a gleam.

He wasn’t particularly handsome, but he had a dignified appearance and looked talented.

The woman wore a red leather dress that fell past her shoulders, her curly hair dyed the same color as her dress.

She was quite pretty, but her face was covered with a thick layer of foundation, heavily made up, giving her an excessively gaudy appearance.

The woman, clacking in heels at least ten centimeters tall, stepped up to Shen Cheng and coldly demanded, "How do you walk? Are you blind? Do you know how much my car is worth? If it’s broken, can you afford to compensate?"

Hearing the woman’s voice, Shen Cheng slowly looked up, squinting a bit as the sunlight was dazzling.

She didn’t say a word, nor did she seem to want to get up, even though people had started to gather; she didn’t care at all.

Calm and composed, she took a band-aid from her pocket, tore it open, and casually stuck it over the wound on her knee.

Seeing this, the woman scoffed, "Such a minor injury, aren’t you overacting! If you’re thinking of scamming, you’d better drop that idea. Your life isn’t worth as much as my car!"

At these words, the crowd of onlookers instantly erupted.

Some accused the woman of throwing her weight around, others sympathized with Shen Cheng for her unfortunate encounter, and yet others made indifferent remarks.

In any case, the scene was as chaotic as it gets."

"Tsk tsk." Shen Cheng glanced at the car and smacked her lips disapprovingly, "Your car sure is expensive."
