Chapter 198: Taking a Step Back

Chapter 198

Shi Li was truly confused now. The world had become too crazy lately.

Many things were happening differently compared to her previous life.

The incident with those two nutcases hurting each other could be considered an accident.

But this time, Feng Yunhe, who should have been hit by the falling rock, was unharmed. Instead, Feng's Father had an accident and was lying in the hospital after a car crash.

Shi Li was curious if perhaps Feng Yunhe didn't go to check on the project as he was supposed to, so Feng's Father went instead, resulting in his accident?

Although she didn't understand why things had developed this way, Shi Li now had only one question: did Liang Rongrong go to save anyone?

So now, had Liang Rongrong gloriously transformed from the male lead's lifesaver to the savior of the male lead's father?

How would their relationship develop if the female lead saved not the male lead, but his father? Would the original young-love-in-high-society drama script turn into a mistress-rising-to-power story?

Thinking of Feng's Father's aged face, Shi Li couldn't help but shudder. She really couldn't imagine a novel with Feng's Father as the male lead.

The male lead could be twenty, five hundred, five thousand, or even fifty thousand years old, but he absolutely couldn't be fifty.

Although Feng's Father was approaching fifty, he still retained his charm (?). In his youth, he had captivated Feng's Mother, and besides his business acumen, he indeed had a handsome face.

Due to good self-care, he still looked quite distinguished now.

But changing from Feng Yunhe's handsome face to Feng's Father's aged face was hard to accept, even for Shi Li who wasn't the female lead.

Liang Rongrong didn't deserve such a fate.

If this was the case, would there be a stepmother storyline next? After Feng's Father's demise, Feng Yunhe would transform from male lead to second male lead and back to male lead again.

Shi Li suddenly had the urge to read romance novels, wanting to skip to the end of this novel's plot with one click.

While Shi Li was lost in her wild thoughts, Huang Jie had already expressed deep sympathy for Feng's Father's misfortune, offering blessings for his speedy recovery, and inquiring about which hospital he was in, saying she would visit him later.

Huang Jie's words lacked sincerity, but just hearing her earnest tone, one would think she was full of genuine concern.

Shi Li couldn't suppress her curiosity anymore. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yunhe, how did Uncle suddenly have an accident? Was someone trying to harm him? Did they tamper with his car or bribe his driver?"

She looked as if she had been overly influenced by TV dramas, seeming to believe that any accident must be the result of human factors.

The Feng mother and son had also wondered if it was a competitor trying to harm him.

It wasn't until Feng's Father regained consciousness that they learned the true reason, which turned out to be genuinely accidental.

Of course, there was a slight human factor involved.

But it had nothing to do with others. It was Feng's Father's own foolishness. Despite the driver clearly stating it was inappropriate, he still insisted on speeding up, leading to the accident. Who else could be blamed?

Because of Feng's Father's wrong decision, even the driver was implicated.

The driver was inexplicably caught in the crossfire. Although his injuries weren't as severe as Feng's Father's, Feng's Mother decided to give him a few months of paid leave to recover at home, along with a large sum of money as compensation.

Feng Yunhe shook his head, "It wasn't intentional. The road was slippery due to rain, visibility was poor, and coincidentally, an old tree in the middle of the road had been struck by lightning and fallen. The car crashed into the tree, causing the accident."

He didn't mention the crucial detail about Feng's Father insisting on speeding up, not to save face, but for the company's interests. This detail couldn't be known by outsiders, let alone the public. The fact that the group's CEO was a fool would affect the company's stock price.

[Wasn't it supposed to be a mudslide burial?]

[Why is it different from Feng Yunhe's situation?]

Shi Li scratched her head, "But what if, hypothetically, someone deliberately placed that tree in the middle of the road to cause Uncle's accident?"

Feng Yunhe smiled, "You're stretching it too far. My father's actions that night were spontaneous, there were no human factors involved."

Shi Li: "Oh, okay."

As it was approaching noon, Huang Jie naturally invited him to stay, "With your parents in the hospital, there's no one at home. Why don't you stay and have lunch with us?"

Shi Li didn't want Feng Yunhe to stay. To make him leave quickly, she said in an exaggerated tone, "Brother Yunhe, please stay and have lunch with me."

It was so affected that even Shi Li felt nauseated hearing herself. She believed Feng Yunhe couldn't remain unmoved; hearing such a sickening voice, he would surely decline politely.

Shi Li tugged at a corner of Feng Yunhe's sleeve, swaying it back and forth, appearing very reluctant to let him go.

"Alright then, since you're sincerely inviting me, I won't refuse."

As he opened his mouth, Shi Li was already preparing to see him off, but who could have thought he'd say he wasn't leaving, and even say-

Shi Li's expression changed for a moment, but she adjusted quickly, her face suddenly bursting into a brilliant smile, "This is too good! Brother Yunhe, I knew you had a secret crush on me and wanted to have lunch with me. So you were just playing hard to get."

Shi Li acted as if she had seen through his little tricks. Huang Jie, sitting nearby, covered her face for the umpteenth time today, wanting to escape from Earth.

Huang Jie thought with mixed feelings, could her daughter actually be an overconfident girl?
