Sweet Beauty

Chapter 268 - I'll Have To Hit Something



During the weekend, Qiao Hongya did not see Hao Shan and the others coming to cause trouble. He couldn't help but think to himself, 'they weren't coming back for him, were they?'

Judging from their family's temperament, they should have knocked on his door long ago.

The stone that was hanging in his heart slowly fell to the ground. Although Qiao Hongya did not let his guard down, he was still quite free and at ease.

On Monday, Fan Xiaobo called Liang Zixuan and asked her to come to his studio. From what he said, he wanted her to participate in the promotion phase before the film was released. Since Liang Zixuan had taken the money, she had no reason to shirk her responsibility.

"I'm here, we can leave now." When Fan Zipei entered, Liang Zixuan and Zeng Zhelan had just packed their things. The three of them walked to the elevator together.

They chatted and laughed as they got into the car. Fan Zipei started the engine and drove the car out.

Fan Zipei was an experienced driver, and his driving style was steady. That was why Han Yuanjun had assigned him as Liang Zixuan's driver.

When they left the Han Group, there was a traffic light at the intersection. Fan Zipei was about to step on the brakes, but when he put his foot on it, the brakes did not work at all.

Fan Zipei cursed as he stepped on the brakes several times. When he saw that the car did not stop, he pressed the horn to alert the car in front of him.

Liang Zixuan and Zeng Zhelan were sitting in the back seat. Seeing that their car was about to hit another car, Liang Zixuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did the brakes fail?"

Fan Zipei did not have time to answer as he looked ahead and shouted, "Zixuan, Zhelan, quickly fasten your seatbelts!"

Liang Zixuan and Zeng Zhelan were shocked for a moment. They quickly fastened their seatbelts before tightly gripping the handlebars of the car. Their eyes widened in panic as they looked at the situation on the road ahead.

Luckily, the green light lit up just as their car was about to hit the car in front. The driver was also in a hurry too it seemed, because he was driving fast. They barely managed to avoid the car.

Fan Zipei knew the streets of Imperial City like the back of his hand. He deliberately avoided the road where there were too many traffic lights; however, the car still could not stop due to the faulty brakes.

"Zixuan, I'm going to take a detour to a secluded area now. You and Zhelan must be seated properly, I'm afraid ... I'm afraid I'll have to hit something to stop the car."

Even at such a dangerous moment, Fan Zipei's mind was still clear. Not only did he know how to take a detour, he even thought of the outcome. Liang Zixuan admired him greatly.

If she were in his shoes, she would probably be panicking by now. Even if she wasn't panicking, she probably wouldn't be able to think of a good way to minimize the damage from the accident.

"Alright." Liang Zixuan and Zeng Zhelan both held onto the handlebars tightly. The two of them looked at each other nervously.

"En!" Fan Zipei looked straight ahead with a calm expression.

Liang Zixuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. When she saw that the car had driven out of the suburb, she knew that Fan Zipei was about to force the car to stop, so she immediately said, "Zipei, you have to be careful too. You sit in the driver's seat and in the front."

"Don't worry!"

Liang Zixuan didn't know if he wanted to reassure her or what, but Fan Zipei then said while looking for a place with fewer people, "We will be fine, everything will be fine. It's just a small car accident."

He suddenly saw that there was no one on the sidewalk in front of him. Besides, there was a big tree there. His nerves were tense like a rope that could snap at any moment.

Liang Zixuan and Zeng Zhelan had long since clung to the handlebars and were staring ahead fearfully with their eyes wide open.

Suddenly, the car jerked and crashed into the sidewalk. Then, with a loud bang, it crashed into the big tree.

The tremors made the three of them feel as if their internal organs were about to jump out of their bodies. Liang Zixuan was stunned for a moment as her head hit the car window hard.

The car finally stopped. Fan Zipei looked back in panic. When he saw Liang Zixuan's forehead covered with blood, he was shocked. He immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

As he was running towards the door of Liang Zixuan's seat, he suddenly saw the barrel of oil dripping. His eyes trembled for a moment as he panicked and opened the car door on Liang Zixuan's side, shouting, "Zixuan, Zhelan, hurry, get out of the car! The gas tank is leaking!"

Zeng Zhelan was about to unbuckle Liang Zixuan's seatbelt when she heard Fan Zipei. She quickly pushed Liang Zixuan towards Fan Zipei and let him carry her out of the car before she jumped out through the other door.

Fan Zipei took Liang Zixuan with him and ran ten steps ahead. The car exploded behind them with a loud explosion sound.

Liang Zixuan held back the headache and jumped down from Fan Zipei's chest. She ran towards the smoke-shrouded car and shouted while crying, "Zhelan... Zhelan!"

Fan Zipei looked at the burning car with a pale face. He ran and hugged Liang Zixuan tightly from behind. "Zixuan, don't go there. It's too dangerous!"

"Let me go! Zhelan is still in the car, she..."

Liang Zixuan was already sobbing uncontrollably as she struggled in Fan Zipei's arms.

Fan Zipei's heart ached. However, he hugged Liang Zixuan tightly and said loudly, "Zhelan should get out of the car in time. Don't worry!"

"Zhelan...Zhelan..." Liang Zixuan cried in Fan Zipei's arms as she watched the smoky car. "Zhelan!"

"Hey, I'm here!" Zeng Zhelan suddenly said, not far from them. Seeing Liang Zixuan running towards her with cries of joy, Zeng Zhelan hugged Liang Zixuan with a smile. "I'm fine. I reacted quickly. You know, I moved very fast. I jumped out in time. Look, I'm fine. Stop crying."

Liang Zixuan stared blankly at Zeng Zhelan for a while. She could feel the warmth emanating from her body. Seeing that Zeng Zhelan was really standing in front of her, Liang Zixuan couldn't help but hug Zeng Zhelan tightly and cried loudly, "Zhelan... You stupid girl."

At the hospital.

Liang Zixuan made a series of tests, and finally, the doctor helped her with the wound.

After Han Yuanjun received the news, he hurriedly went to the hospital. Seeing Liang Zixuan sitting silently on the bed with her head wrapped in gauze, he went to her and hugged her tightly. "You scared me! It's good that you're fine."

Yao Xiu also came along. He lifted Zeng Zhelan's hands up and nervously examined her body.

"I'm fine." Zeng Zhelan shook off his hand and looked at Liang Zixuan.. "Among the three of us, Zixuan is the only one who's injured."
