Becoming The Business Magnate’s Spoiled Wife - Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Accident

It was cold and windy. The red light at the intersection turned green. Qu Xiao drove the sports car that Shang Yan had left for her to the Qu Group building alone.

The weather was foggy, and she did not notice that a van was driving out of the fork in the road. It was secretly following her, and it was maintaining a relatively fast speed.

There was a section of the road from the villa area to the city that was being rebuilt. Qu Xiao followed the guidance of the navigation system and chose a somewhat remote path.

Hum…

The van suddenly accelerated. On the muddy road section, the driver wearing a cap rammed into Qu Xiao’s car.

After repeated collisions and deliberately stopping, Qu Xiao immediately knew that the other party was coming for her!

She frowned tightly and held the steering wheel with both hands. She aimed at the puddle in front of her and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.

The engine roared. The van seemed to have been modified. It crashed heavily into the rear of the sports car.

This won’t do!

Qu Xiao gritted her teeth and turned the steering wheel. She released the accelerator to create a beautiful and elegant route in another direction. However, she did not expect the sports car to crash into a withered tree. The airbag instantly popped out, and Qu Xiao’s head hit the glass. Blood dripped down from her forehead.

“Aiya! There’s an accident!”

The violent noise made the nearby residents run out to watch. The driver of the van did not dare to stop. He saw Qu Xiao lying on the steering wheel motionlessly from afar and quickly fled the scene.

Qu Xiao rubbed her dizzy head and pushed the door open. The cold wind made her tremble.

She stood by the roadside and subconsciously dialed Shang Yan’s number. “Hubby? I was in a car accident…”

In the Shang family’s old mansion, Shang Yan rushed out of the door with a gloomy expression. Li was so scared that he did not dare to make a sound. He rushed to the scene as fast as he could.

Qu Xiao originally stood calmly by the roadside to answer the police’s questions. When she caught a glimpse of Shang Yan’s van from the corner of her eyes, she immediately showed a frightened and pitiful look. She hugged her arms tightly and squatted on the ground, wiping her eyes with her hands in grievance.

The police was surprised and heard Shang Yan say, “I’m her husband. Please contact me if there’s anything you need to ask.”

“My wife is frightened. I’m afraid she can’t continue receiving questions here.” Qu Xiao’s eyes were red. When she heard Shang Yan’s voice, she staggered and threw herself into his arms.

She tugged at Shang Yan’s collar with both hands and said in a soft and delicate voice, “I’m scared!”

Shang Yan was heartbroken. He hugged Qu Xiao tightly and coaxed in a hoarse voice, “I’m here, don’t be scared!”

The policeman’s eyes sized up the two of them. He thought of how rationally and calm Qu Xiao was just five minutes ago. She was even able to recite the other party’s license plate number accurately despite having just been in an accident, which provided the police with important facts.

It was confusing seeing her become so different compared to just five minutes ago.

Shang Yan took off his coat and draped it over Qu Xiao’s body. His large palm pressed her head on his shoulder and gently patted her to coax her.

The front passenger seat of the sports car seemed to have been squeezed and deformed, and it was seriously damaged.

Shang Yan silently closed his fingertips. He could not imagine what he would do if Qu Xiao was more seriously injured!

He turned to look at Li and said with a cold and ruthless voice, “Go and find out who is responsible…”

Shang Group’s prominent nature allowed them to force the police station to send out officers from the Major Crimes Unit to assist in the search.

Half an hour later, the police caught the driver and interrogated him.

However, he still gritted his teeth and insisted that he was driving under the influence of alcohol, and that the accident happened completely by chance.

“CEO Shang, the alcohol level on his body indeed exceeded the standard.”

“He doesn’t know Mrs. Qu…”

Qu Xiao narrowed her eyes. She gently rubbed her fingertips and raised her hand to press on her aching forehead.

Was it by accident? Not necessarily!

Qu Xiao thought that the car accident must have something to do with the Qu family.

Moreover, she had just taken over the Qu Group. How could a car accident happen so coincidentally?

“I want to go back to the Qu family. They should be very worried when they find out that I got into a car accident.”

Qu Xiao raised her eyes and whispered to Shang Yan.

Shang Yan stared at her clear eyes. Naturally, he knew the hidden meaning behind her words. He asked considerately, “Do you need me to send someone to accompany you?”

Qu Xiao played with her brown curly hair and covered the gauze on her forehead. She raised her red lips and said, “I can do go myself.” In the Qu family’s villa, Qu Qi could not hide her anxious expression.

She rushed to the bathroom and threw the phone card she had bought from the black market to contact the driver, into the toilet. Then, she quickly pressed the flush button and watched as the whirlpool swept away the evidence. She heaved a sigh of relief and tidied up her appearance. Jealousy flashed in her eyes.

“Mrs. Qu? Why are you back?”

When Qu Qi heard the nanny’s voice, she could not help but widen her eyes. How could she still be alive!
