Chapter 113: Car Accident

Qin Shu sent a message to Chenchen: "Baby, do you want to come over tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is Qin Shu's birthday.

After this message was sent, there was no reply from the other side.

Qin Shu thought that it must be Lin Jingshu managing the child again, not letting him play with his phone or contact her.

Lin Jingshu does not like Chenchen being close to her, his biological mother; Qin Shu does not get to see him more than a few times a year, and Qin Shu has no way to resist Lin Jingshu.

But on her birthday, Lin Jingshu allows Chenchen to come over every year; she will not let outsiders gossip and say she is harsh to Qin Shu.

As Qin Shu scrolled through her phone, Chu Yu's social media feed suddenly popped up.

Chu Yu posted a nine-grid photo collage with the caption: Sister's birthday~

From Chu Yu's feed, Qin Shu saw that the entire Chu Family was there, surrounding Chu Sheng like stars around the moon; many from the Gu Family had gone as well, including Gu Huaiyuan and Lin Jingshu.

Chenchen was there too; he was sitting right next to Chu Sheng.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shu only felt it was an eyesore; she understood why Lin Jingshu had taken the child there.

It was to find a new mother for Gu Yichen for when she eventually divorces Gu Tingyan, so that he would grow closer to Chu Sheng.

Qin Shu put down her phone, feeling a sense of stifling congestion in her heart.

She drank a bowl of porridge for dinner and went upstairs; just as she lay down to read, her phone started vibrating incessantly—it was a call from Gu Tingyan.

Qin Shu originally wanted to hang up, but upon seeing the message Gu Tingyan had sent, her face immediately turned pale.

Gu Tingyan: "Chenchen was in a car accident and is now at the hospital. It's nothing too serious, do you want to come over?"

Qin Shu immediately picked up the phone and walked out in a hurry, her face pale: "What happened?"

"Is Chenchen hurt anywhere?"

Gu Tingyan: "Someone was driving drunk and charged toward Chenchen."

The man on the other end paused: "Chu Sheng saved him."

Qin Shu knew today was Chu Sheng's birthday and had not expected such a thing to happen.

"I'll have a bodyguard take you over."

"Okay."

The car quickly arrived at the hospital, and Qin Shu took the elevator to the VIP floor; when she pushed the door open, she saw Chu Sheng sitting in a wheelchair and Chenchen on the hospital bed.

Seeing Gu Yichen lying on the hospital bed, Qin Shu's expression shifted slightly, and she walked over quickly: "Chenchen."

Seeing her enter, Gu Tingyan hurried to greet her: "Chenchen is just overly frightened and is still unconscious."

"He is fine."

Qin Shu held Chenchen's hand tightly, the corners of her eyes slightly red, and she looked up at Gu Tingyan: "Who did this?"

Gu Tingyan said in a low voice: "A man who was drunk."

"It has already been handed over to the police to handle."

On the way over, Qin Shu had already watched the surveillance footage in the car.

That car had been parked on the side of the road; when Chu Xuanming and the others passed by, the car had not moved, but the moment the child appeared at the corner, the car charged toward them.

And Chu Sheng happened to be beside Gu Yichen; she hugged Gu Yichen and moved him, getting hit herself, resulting in a dislocated foot and abrasions on her body.

A faint sneer appeared on her face, her gaze falling vaguely on Chu Sheng and Lin Jingshu, and she said lightly: "How coincidental, of all people to hit, this person just had to hit the child."

Hearing this, Chu Sheng's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with shock, pity, and anger: "You suspect I arranged this?"

Qin Shu pursed her lips: "I didn't say that, I just asked the question."

Jiang Chenxue's face was dark, and she looked at Lin Jingshu very rudely: "My daughter saved your grandson,"

"And she actually suspects we hired someone to do it!"

Lin Jingshu frowned, looked at Qin Shu, and scolded: "Enough."

"Chu Sheng would not do such a thing."

"If the car had lost control, she would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of her life."

"She risked her life to save Chenchen, what would she gain by doing this?"

"You don't thank her, and yet because she hurt her leg saving your son, you suspect her!"

Lin Jingshu felt that Qin Shu had completely disgraced her.

Gu Tingyan reached out to put his arm around Qin Shu's waist, his brows slightly furrowed: "She was just asking, is there any need for you all to react so strongly?"

Once Gu Tingyan said this, the hospital room went quiet for a moment.

Chu Xuanming looked at Qin Shu coldly: "Sheng had no need to gamble her life to save your son."

Their Chu Family would have been happy if Gu Yichen had been hit by the car and died, as then the Gu Family's only heir would have to be Chu Chen!

Qin Shu was left speechless by these words; yes, Chu Sheng had no reason to do such a thing.

If Chenchen were gone, the only bond between her and Gu Tingyan would also be severed.

Doing this would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Qin Shu pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Chu Sheng's eyes were red, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at Gu Tingyan; Gu Tingyan said in a low voice: "Everyone, go out."

Chu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Jiang Chenxue walked over and pushed her wheelchair out.

Once they were out of the room and back in their own, Chu Sheng's expression turned gloomy, and Jiang Chenxue's expression was not good either.

"Who told you to save him."

"The others don't even know what's good for them."

Jiang Chenxue complained: "If that son of Gu Tingyan's had died, the Gu Family would only have Chenchen left."

Chu Sheng's eyes were dark: "Mom, I know what I'm doing."

To be honored in front of others, one must be willing to risk it all.

Chu Sheng was worried that the man would expose her: "Mom, what did the police say?"

However, the Gu Family would not be able to trace it back to her.

A month ago, a man approached her, claiming to be her biological father.

This was simply the biggest joke in the world!

Her biological father was clearly Chu Xuanming, the chairman of the Chu Group!

How could it possibly be a convict who had served time and just been released from prison?

But that look in his eyes was very certain, and he even wanted her to get a DNA test; the Chu Family owned hospitals, so naturally, Chu Sheng did not take his words to heart.

Yet the man went to find Chu Xuanming, and this person was actually an old acquaintance of Chu Xuanming, a sworn brother who had gone to prison to take the fall for him back then.

Seeing that man at the Chu Family residence again, Chu Sheng truly panicked; her intuition told her that this might be true.

She went to get a paternity test done herself, and when the results came out, she was truly not her father's biological daughter, and as for the Chu Family, Chu Yu and Qin Shu were, while she was not a member of the Chu Family.

Chu Sheng offered the man a large sum of cash as hush money, but the man did not want it.

He looked at Chu Sheng with a smug smile on his face: "Seeing you living so well, Dad is relieved."

Chu Sheng could not describe what that feeling was; she was lost and terrified, fearing that if he told Chu Xuanming, she would lose everything she had.

However, he did not tell Chu Xuanming; he knew about her entanglement with Gu Tingyan and Qin Shu, and even offered to help her get rid of Qin Shu.

Chu Sheng certainly wanted to kill Qin Shu, but once she had a human life on her hands, things would be different.

Therefore, she set up this scheme with her biological father.

The person the Gu Family doted on most was Gu Yichen; if she became his savior, Gu Tingyan would surely change his opinion of her.

Hearing this, Jiang Chenxue thought of that man, and her expression darkened slightly: "He will have to go in for a few years."
