Chapter 1749: A Car Accident is an Accident

~7 min read 1,327 words

Jiang Motian's heart stirred, and she immediately sat up!

But the next second, Jiang Motian changed her mind.

Because with the level of bad luck today...

It's possible the car could break down halfway there.

Forget it, forget it, I'll just wait until after dinner to give Xie Wanyi a call.

Jiang Motian made her decision, then set her phone aside and didn't worry about it anymore.

As it turned out, after dinner, Jiang Motian's eyelids began to twitch wildly.

It made one feel flustered inside!

Jiang Baobao pushed open the door and walked into Jiang Motian's bedroom, only to see her daughter pressing and rubbing her eyelids with her fingers.

And in circles to the left, circles to the right.

She placed the fruit platter she was holding onto the table, then asked, "Tiantian, are you doing facial yoga?"

"No, my eyelid has been twitching all evening, I'm just pressing on it."

Her daughter's childish actions made Jiang Baobao chuckle.

She shook her head, then said, "You're likely just suffering from eye strain; get some rest early today, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Don't just agree with your mouth; you have to actually do it. No more staying up late."

"I know, I know. After I finish the fruit, I'll go for a run in the garden and then go to sleep."

Jiang Motian said she was going to the garden to run.

As it turned out...

Once she actually went to the garden, she took advantage of the hazy moonlight to call her sweetheart.

But the phone rang for a long time without being answered.

Jiang Motian became increasingly uneasy.

Her eyelid was also twitching even more vigorously...

At this moment, the sound of a car engine arrived.

Jiang Motian immediately looked toward the sound and saw Li Xingyan's car.

Li Xingyan had been very busy lately.

The family was also used to him leaving early and returning late.

At this moment, Li Xingyan parked the car steadily and stepped out.

Who would have thought a figure would silently approach...

"Brother?"

This sudden voice gave Li Xingyan a fright!

He frowned, turned his head, and opened his mouth to complain, "Why do you walk without making a sound?"

Jiang Motian ignored Li Xingyan's complaint.

Instead, she smiled and asked with concern, "You're so busy you only just got home; you've really worked hard!"

This concern... was hypocritical.

Li Xingyan gave a light huff, then bluntly said, "If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

Jiang Motian was happy to follow his lead.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Brother, do you know why Wanyi's phone won't go through? What is he busy with?"

"How would I know that?"

"Really don't know? I thought you two were plotting something again."

While Jiang Motian was speaking, she was still carefully observing Li Xingyan.

And then...

She saw his eyes flicker slightly!

This just meant Jiang Motian had guessed right!

Jiang Motian hurried closer and pressed, "So what exactly are you two plotting?"

Li Xingyan retreated silently and corrected her, "It's not plotting, we're just going to see how the West Hall Master digs his own grave."

"It's even related to Wuyou Hall? Tell me quickly what you know, I'm very curious!"

"It's getting late, tomorrow."

As Li Xingyan's words fell, he saw Jiang Motian looking at him with a resentful expression.

This made him sigh, "I'm not putting you off; when you wake up, the matter will be settled, and I'll tell you all about it then."

Some things cannot be hidden.

When the time comes, Jiang Motian will naturally understand the ins and outs.

It's just that this arrangement... will make Jiang Motian lose sleep tonight!

Jiang Motian was very resentful, feeling that she would definitely be sleepless all night.

However...

She slept extremely soundly!

The next day, she was still woken up by Li Moning.

Li Moning pushed on Jiang Motian's shoulder and shouted in her ear, "Sister, if you don't get up now, the sun will be burning your bottom!"

Jiang Motian rolled over.

And only then did she sit up.

When she saw the clock on the bedside table...

Jiang Motian murmured in disbelief: "I actually slept until this time."

"You sure did, I'm about to head out for school. Breakfast is really rich today; if you go down now, you can still catch some."

To prove how rich the breakfast was, Li Moning even started listing the dishes.

But Jiang Motian had no heart to listen to these.

She interrupted Li Moning and asked: "Big brother hasn't left yet, right?"

"Him? He left without eating breakfast, saying he's going abroad today to handle some business."

Once Li Moning finished speaking, she noticed Jiang Motian's eyes widening bit by bit.

"Uh, sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it's just... I'm speechless."

Jiang Motian was truly speechless.

She never imagined that Li Xingyan would actually run away to avoid her questioning!

But this time, Jiang Motian misunderstood Li Xingyan.

He wasn't running away, but going abroad to handle legitimate business.

Yet to Jiang Motian, this was no longer important.

She decided not to ask anyone and go find out for herself!

And just at this moment, Jiang Motian's phone received a news notification.

When she saw the headline, she frowned involuntarily.

After clicking it open to read carefully...

Xu Nianxin got into a car accident!?

Although her life was saved, but... she lost a leg!

"This woman is miserable enough."

Jiang Motian stared blankly at her phone.

She didn't even notice Li Moning leaning over and reading the news along with her.

Jiang Motian didn't want to scare Li Moning, so she put down her phone and said: "If you don't leave now, you'll be late for school."

"But I'm a bit worried about you looking like this."

"I'm perfectly fine, I'll go eat in a moment!"

"Then... I'm leaving?"

Jiang Motian nodded and waved her hand outward.

Li Moning looked at Jiang Motian with concern before leaving.

Once Li Moning left, Jiang Motian didn't rush to eat breakfast, but instead called Li Xingyan.

Fortunately, his phone could still get through.

But Li Xingyan, who answered the phone, apologized first: "I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to tell you."

"That's true, no one who runs away gives a heads-up in advance!"

"I didn't run away; I really have legitimate business. Besides, the matter I was going to tell you is no longer a secret."

Jiang Motian pursed her lips and then said: "I've already seen the news."

"Is that so? Then that saves me from having to explain it to you."

"No, you still have to explain!"

Jiang Motian gripped her phone tightly and asked nervously: "Was that car accident... planned by you and Wanyi?"

Li Xingyan was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "We guessed that the West Hall Master would abduct Xu Nianxin, so we increased security, preparing to have both father and daughter thrown into prison. However... the car accident was an accident."

She didn't know if it was Jiang Motian's imagination.

She felt that when Li Xingyan said the word "accident," his tone was not very certain.

Jiang Motian couldn't help but frown.

And Li Xingyan comforted her: "Don't let your imagination run wild; whatever happens, it is that pair of father and daughter bringing it upon themselves."

The West Hall Master and his daughter dared to scheme against Li Moning, so the Li Family naturally could not let them off.

But...

Jiang Motian always felt something was not quite right.

After hanging up with Li Xingyan, Jiang Motian washed up in a daze.

Then she changed her clothes and went to eat breakfast.

There really was a wide variety of breakfast items today.

But Jiang Motian didn't even remember what she had eaten.

It wasn't until she received a call from Xie Wanyi that she regained her vitality.
