Chapter 57 Nacht buried herself in his arms, hugged him and cried. ...

Grandma, there was a car accident...

Quezhan's ears were filled with a roar, and the white noise drowned her hearing like water.

She felt like her skeleton was stretched straight, unable to make a single movement, and her heartbeat caused her palms to tremble slightly. She didn't want to believe this short sentence.

This morning, when she went to the small villa to see the old lady, grandma was still fine, how could she suddenly...

Just then, Xie Xianshen called, "Zhanzhan."

It was his voice that pulled her away from fear and anxiety. When she heard his voice, unknown, her heart seemed to be much calmer.

She listened to everything he said.

He asked her to stand still and said that he saw her in front of the company. Within a minute, the black Rolls-Royce that impressed her so deeply drove to where she was standing.

After getting in the car, Quezhan didn't know how to calm down.

Her heart was in turmoil.

Grandma was the most important relative in her life. When she was a child, and now, she couldn't leave her grandmother's shadow.

She was rebellious and no one could control her. She had quarreled with her parents, and only listened to what the old lady said.

"Zhanzhan." Xie Xianshen raised his arm and put his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean on him, "Grandma will be fine."

He held her hand with his other hand. The back of her hand and the palm of her hand were cold, like melting ice.

She tilted her head in his arms and buried herself deeper in his arms. The long hair on the side of her face was messed up by her, blocking her expression. He moved gently to help her brush it away, but she refused. She sobbed intermittently, pretending to be strong and forbearing.

But at the moment, she just wanted to hug him.

She had cried too many times in front of him, and when she learned that her grandmother was ill, she cried like a tearful person.

Just like that time, he wiped her tears for her.

"Grandma's car accident was an accident. The perpetrator was drunk and ran a red light. He has been taken back to the police station." Xie Xianshen comforted her softly, "It's okay, Zhanzhan, it's okay."

When they rushed to the hospital, Quezhan's parents, Ms. Xu, Xie Ling and Xie Ting were all there.

Quezhan ran over and almost fell to the ground. It was Xie Ting who held her shoulders and steadied her, "... Slow down, sister-in-law, are you okay..."

How could she be okay...

The scene in front of her was just like the time when she learned that Meng Xie was in trouble.

Grandma's life was uncertain in the operating room, and Quezhan didn't know how long she had been waiting for the red light in the operating room. She was confused, anxious, and uneasy. She walked back and forth outside the operating room.

Suddenly, the lights went out.

When Quezhan saw the doctor coming out, he said, "Doctor, doctor, my grandma..."

The doctor took off his mask, "The patient's life is temporarily out of danger. However, in the car accident, the patient's head suffered a severe impact, and bleeding between the skull and the dura mater caused blood accumulation and compression of the brain tissue, leading to a coma."

"Then... Grandma, when can she wake up?"

"It depends on the patient's subconscious."

The doctor's words made Quezhan's heart feel like it was being strangled, which was more painful than cutting out her bones.

Grandma was transferred from the operating room to the ICU for further observation.

Quezhan looked at the little old lady lying on the hospital bed from outside. The grandmother was thin and bony, and her hands, which had been worn by the years, were so thin that you could see the bones at a glance. The little old lady was so thin, but she had to get such a long needle and endure the pain she shouldn't endure.

At the moment of the car accident, Ms. Ye must have felt very painful...

Grandma's car accident was an accident, and Ms. Bai comforted her in this way, but she wondered why her grandmother would have a car accident. What did her grandmother go out for? In the morning, her grandmother told her that she would not go out in the afternoon and would water the newly planted flowers in the yard. But why did she change her mind and go out? She wanted to know the cause and effect of all these.

Street surveillance showed that the street where Ms. Ye had the car accident was a crossroads.

The red light on the motor vehicle lane was on, and the green light on the sidewalk was on. Ms. Ye walked slowly from east to west on the zebra crossing.

But unexpectedly, a white medium-sized truck suddenly drove vertically from the south of the road and knocked Ms. Ye down. The little old lady was thin, and the front of the car body suddenly hit her and knocked her to the sidewalk five meters away.

Every time Quezhan watched the surveillance footage, her heart ached. Her grandmother had never suffered so much...

The footage froze, froze, and zoomed in. In the unclear surveillance video, she could really see what her grandmother was holding.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Xie Xianshen noticed Quezhan's surprise and asked her.

"...It's raisin pastry."

It was the raisin pastry from the old archway that she liked very much...

But there was another one...

When the police retrieved the surveillance footage, they also learned some information based on the scene at the time and told Quezhan: "According to our investigation and the reactions of the pedestrians around at the time, your elder didn't seem to be very conscious. One witness was quite impressed with your elder and said that the old lady kept muttering something, probably raisin pastry, Zhanzhan, or something like that."

Ms. Ye remembered the raisin pastry that Quezhan liked.

She was not conscious at the time because of her Alzheimer's disease. However, even though the old lady was ill, she remembered that her granddaughter liked raisin cakes. Although she sometimes forgot her granddaughter's name, she kept repeating it when she remembered it.

Her granddaughter was called Zhanzhan.

But Zhan's shoulders dropped deeply. She blamed herself for not taking good care of her grandmother.

In the afternoon, she shouldn't have left her grandmother alone in the small villa because of work. The aunt who was originally assigned to the house took a leave. If she could accompany her, her grandmother would not have such a thing.

"Wait."

Xie Xianshen noticed the surveillance video on the computer screen. Within five minutes after the car accident, a person with suspicious behavior walked by the side of the street.

"Comrade police, please enlarge the picture of this person here."

The picture was cut and enlarged. The person in the surveillance was wearing a hat and had long golden curly hair draped behind him.

Although the figure was facing away from the surveillance camera, judging from the hair color and the slightly sideways face of the other person, the woman looked very much like Winni.

"Winni?"

Quezhan thought of her almost instantly, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.

Why did she just happen to pass by that street where her grandmother had a car accident, and why was she so well disguised with her hair loose and a hat on?

She knew that the unhappiness between her and Winni could not be explained in just a few words. Whether it was work or love, she hated her.

"I think that grandma's car accident may not be an accident."

Quezhan asked Xie Xianshen to have someone conduct a thorough investigation of Ms. Ye's whereabouts during her outing today.

After the investigation, it was found that Ms. Ye went to a normal place on the day of the car accident, and it was not related to Winni as she expected.

Nothing was found that day, so the scope was expanded to check Ms. Ye's trip a week ago.

After checking, Quezhan indeed found a clue.

On the second day after she took the flight to Paris, that afternoon, near dusk, Ms. Ye should have come back from the theater or the art gallery. Her grandmother called her, but she didn't say that she met a strange woman.

The surveillance video showed that it was Winni. She didn't know whether she was bold or didn't want to do anything. She smiled and said something to Ms. Ye face to face. What was it, Quezhan didn't know, but looking at the smile on her face, although there was no dispute, it was definitely a good idea.

Quezhan found Winni with the surveillance video.

This person didn't run away, and didn't try to hide it. He was probably waiting for her to come to her in a proud manner.

"Winni, what did you say to my grandmother?" Quezhan asked coldly. If Winni was really the cause of her grandmother's car accident, she would definitely not let her go.

"Why, what did I do wrong?"

Winni crossed her arms and chest as if unintentionally, "Even if I did something wrong, it should be the police who took me away. There is no need for Miss Que to come in person. I am afraid it will be unfair to you to come to my small place."

"Don't pretend to know me when you don't know." Que Zhan didn't talk about anything else, "I just want to ask you, what did you say to my grandmother that evening?"

"Nothing, we just happened to meet." Winni didn't lie to Que Zhan, it was just a coincidence.

That day, she went to that residential area because she received a call from a friend, and when she left, she happened to meet Ms. Ye who was coming back in the opposite direction.

She knew that the little old lady was Que Zhan's grandmother, Xie Huaiming told her.

She was just chatting with the little old lady, claiming to be Que Zhan's friend, and being friendly on the surface, but in fact she was secretly asking questions. Seeing that the little old lady was holding the grape cake she bought, and knowing that Que Zhan liked it, she casually said that the grape cake from another store tasted better than this one, indicating that Que Zhan also liked it.

Ms. Ye saw that the other party was Que Zhan's friend and believed what she said.

When I got home, I wanted to tell my granddaughter about the encounter with her friend, but my memory couldn't keep up, so I forgot.

The place where Ms. Ye had the car accident was on the way back from another store that Winni mentioned.

Winni's appearance at the car accident site was also a coincidence.

But her eyes were slightly red. Grandma's car accident was essentially an accident, but if Winni hadn't told Ms. Ye about the other store, the old lady wouldn't have gone there, and she wouldn't have had the car accident.

"Winni, you and I have hatred and grievances, there is no need to involve my family." The other party looked like she was staying out of the matter, and Quezhan raised her hand and grabbed her collar to warn, "You can just come to me directly. If you do these little tricks behind my back, the ten kings of hell will tear you into pieces!"

"I'm talking to Miss Que!"

Winni has no fame and love now, she is not afraid of anything, and shook off Quezhan's hand that was holding her collar, "Are you saying that I killed your grandmother? That's really interesting, was it the memorial archway that I asked her to go to? Was it the drunk driver who was instructed by me? Your grandmother is old and has Alzheimer's disease and is running around. You can't control yourself and think of blaming me?"

"I'm not responsible for this crime!"

The little old lady's car accident was not part of Winni's plan to retaliate against Quezhan, it was an accident.

However, she was very happy to watch Quezhan suffer because of her family's car accident.

Why did she lose everything? This is unfair, Quezhan, she wants to be like her!

Crazy, yes, crazy.

This word is really a compliment. Winni thought she had been a lunatic for a long time.

When she was a child, her parents died in a car accident. Her extreme relatives kicked her around like a ball. She lived under the care of others. Those days were the time she wanted to escape the most. After being admitted to university and meeting Meng Xie, she seemed to have reached the turning point of her life. She followed him to the capital, struggled in the world of fame and fortune, and finally secured a place in the high-rise building of the rich man's game. Now, everything has turned to ashes.

There was not enough "evidence" for this crime, and Quezhan had no way to make Winni admit it. But her grandmother was in a coma in the intensive care unit, and she was unwilling to let her go.

Winni hated her and hated her. The situation between the two was already hidden.

-Grandma

was still in a coma, and Quezhan would come to the hospital every day to see her grandmother and talk to the little old lady.

She held the little old lady's hands with both hands and pressed them against her forehead. The hands that were only kept alive by cold medicine became even thinner. She wished that her grandmother could wake up and look at her and listen to the little old lady's voice.

Her mother stood beside her and held her in her arms, gently stroking her daughter's back.

She was also a daughter, and the one lying on the hospital bed was her mother. What she wanted to change in the past was in vain now.

"Zhanzhan, you can't not eat, your face doesn't look good..."

Ms. Ye had a car accident, and Quezhan's energy was much heavier than before. She was distracted several times at work and meetings. It was only when Greer reminded her that she came back to her senses when she talked about important processes. She couldn't concentrate. If people don't eat well, they will become thinner.

Xie Xianshen also observed her like this. In the evening, he asked Aunt Tian to leave work early and personally cooked for Quezhan the food she liked.

She didn't eat much, lowered her neck, her long hair covered her pale and weak cheeks, her heart was heavy and she held the chopsticks without moving, her eyes were dull, she didn't eat, and didn't talk.

"Zhanzhan, please don't be so nice to yourself..."

Before she finished speaking, Quezhan's cell phone on the table rang.

Xunang and Congjiang both knew about her grandmother's car accident, and they would ask her out from time to time to chat and relax. She also understood her friends' good intentions and agreed. Before leaving Xiting Bay, the two kittens and dogs also wanted to go out with her.

Nacht was circling around Xie Xianshen.

After putting leashes on Tag and Revival, Quezhan went out. To ensure her safety, Xie Xianshen asked someone to protect her in secret.

"Ajiang, I'm here."

Quezhan came out of Xiting Bay and saw Congjiang, and raised his hand to signal.

"The two little guys are here too." Congjiang squatted down and touched the snow-white Tag. The little guy was so cute and meowed in response.

Take a walk at night and walk to a lakeside park.

Cong Jiang knew that Quezhan had been in a state of depression since her grandmother's accident, so she said some heartwarming words to comfort her: "...Zhanzhan, I understand how you feel. If..."

She was halfway through her words when Quezhan didn't understand and asked her: "What's wrong?"

Seeing that Cong Jiang seemed to have something on her mind, she asked her what it was. Cong Jiang didn't say anything, but just shook her head and said it was nothing.

Quezhan remembered that Xun Ang had briefly mentioned to her before, saying that something seemed to have happened to Cong Jiang's father, and asked Cong Jiang if it was true. Cong Jiang still shook her head and said it was nothing, and the smile on the corner of her lips was a little forced.

"Tell me if you have any problems that you can't solve." Quezhan said: "Don't fight it alone, Ang Ang and I are your friends."

There are troubles, troubles of the original family.

Cong Jiang's father was a hopeless case. He knew that his daughter had a position in the capital. She was a Chinese medicine doctor at the well-known Tangci Chinese Medicine Clinic. She was doing well and quit her job to drink and gamble all day. She became addicted to gambling and borrowed high-interest loans. The interest was compounded and she didn't have enough money to fill the hole. Her father threatened to die and begged her to help him pay off the debt. She was forced to compromise. The creditor behind the scenes said that if she completed a task, the money owed by her father would not be pursued.

Zhanzhan, I'm sorry...

"...Yeah." Cong Jiang nodded, without showing too much emotion.

When she said that she seemed to have seen an ice cream stand on the way here, she said she would go to buy some, leaving Zhanzhan alone by the lake waiting for someone.

Quezhan looked at the slowly flowing lake at night, and was moved by the scene. She recalled that she and her grandmother also liked to go out for a walk at night...

Suddenly, Revival, who was playing happily on the lawn not far away, shouted loudly: "Woof woof--!!!"

The high-pitched voice attracted attention. Quezhan was about to turn around -

in her side vision, a man in black suddenly stood behind her. The man's disguise was particularly strict. Before she could come to her senses, the man raised his arms and pushed with both hands.

With a dull "plop",

Quezhan fell over the stone railing and fell into the water.
