Chapter 33: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
The system remained silent, and Yun Qing, believing she had found a reasonable explanation, relaxed completely.
Since Yan Chen is seeking revenge on her, she will eventually follow the path of a villainous supporting character.
It's just a temporary swerve, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Over the next few days, Yun Qing continued to send messages and call Yan Chen, but Yan Chen did not contact her again.
That night, Yun Qing was already asleep when her phone suddenly rang.
She groggily stretched her arm out from under the covers, groped around on the bedside table for a while, and then pulled it back in after getting her phone.
She squinted, not quite seeing who it was in the blur, and answered, "Hello..."
There was no one speaking on the other end of the phone, only the sound of whistling wind, and the already groggy Yun Qing was hypnotized by that sound.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a loud "bang" came from her phone, startling her so much that she sat bolt upright.
She was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses a little, she quickly went to check the phone that had fallen on the pillow.
The call hadn't ended yet; the caller was Yan Chen.
She picked up her phone and heard a noisy commotion on the other end.
Thinking of the loud noise earlier, Yun Qing felt uneasy, "Yan Chen..."
There was no response on the other end of the phone. Yun Qing called out twice more, but still received no reply.
Amid the noise on the other end of the phone, I could vaguely make out words like "car accident" and "lots of blood."
Yun Qing's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly, her expression blank.
No! Yan Chen shouldn't get into another car accident.
In the novel's plot, after his car accident, Lu Miaomiao "shared" his luck, which only made his career less smooth. Although it's hard to say what will happen in the future, at least no other accidents occurred until the end of the novel.
But thinking about how far the plot has gone, she felt uncertain again, couldn't help but panic, and couldn't help but blame herself.
If she hadn't failed to portray the villainous supporting character well, causing so many problems in the plot, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Yun Qing quickly climbed out of bed, took out another spare phone, and started dialing Yan Chen's assistant's number.
This was given to her by Yan Chen before his car accident, so that if she couldn't find him, she could contact this assistant.
Yun Qing guessed that it must have been Assistant Lin's call.
While waiting for the call to connect, she quickly changed her clothes, then, holding the phone that hadn't been dialed in one hand and the phone that hadn't been hung up in the other, she hurried downstairs.
The assistant's phone went unanswered and eventually hung up automatically, so Yun Qing tried calling again, unwilling to give up.
Just then, the other phone, which hadn't been hung up, finally responded, "Yun Qing?"
Yun Qing had just opened the door to go out when she suddenly stopped, gripping her phone tightly as she asked, "Yan Chen, are you alright?"
Yan Chen noticed the slight tremor in her voice, paused for a moment, then looked up at the car accident scene ahead. A possibility occurred to him, and he couldn't help but ask, "You...are you worried about me?"
Yun Qing wasn't in the mood to act at this moment, and simply asked, "Where are you?"
Yan Chen's expression faltered slightly, then softened.
There might be a trace of sincerity in her feigned affection, and he suddenly didn't want to compete with her anymore, nor with himself.
"I'm fine. You wait for me at home, I'll come find you, okay?"
Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said softly, "Okay."
Yan Chen was indeed fine. He had just drunk a little too much, but he wasn't too drunk, and at least he could still think.
However, under the influence of alcohol, it's easy to lose some self-control and indulge a little.
For example, if you want to hear her voice, you can just call her without thinking about whether the time is right or whether you are still angry.
Unexpectedly, a car accident occurred. When the driver braked suddenly and turned the steering wheel, his hands became unsteady, and his phone was thrown out of the open car window.
Fortunately, the driver wasn't going fast, and nothing was damaged.
At this moment, Assistant Lin, who had gone to check the situation, returned. "President Yan, that person was probably driving under the influence and speeding. Someone has already called the police and 120 (emergency services)."
The smell of alcohol in the car was so strong that even the stench of blood couldn't be masked. It was impossible to tell how much they had drunk, yet they still dared to drive themselves.
The driver was still shaken; he had watched the car hurtle wildly, crashing into the flowerbed and flipping twice.
He couldn't help but mutter, "He's courting death, isn't he afraid of dragging innocent people down with him?"
After he finished speaking, he gestured towards the passenger seat and said, "Assistant Lin, you left your phone on your seat. Someone just called you."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin picked up his phone and glanced at it. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he muttered to himself, "Who is it? So late..."
Just as he was about to call back, Yan Chen, who was rubbing his temples, suddenly remembered something and said, "Let me see."
Assistant Lin, puzzled, handed the phone to him. Yan Chen glanced at it, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "This is Yun Qing's backup number. Save it."
Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Assistant Lin quickly nodded and said, "Okay."
Have they made up?
Finally, I don't have to endure the low air pressure anymore. Thank you, boss lady!
The landlady must be so worried about President Yan that she called him, right?
But he actually left the phone in the car and didn't answer it; that's incredibly negligent of his duty.
At this moment, Yan Chen spoke up: "Go to the Lu family."
Assistant Lin understood; he was in a hurry to find the boss's wife!
Thinking that he had already made two mistakes in front of the boss's wife in such a short time, wasn't this embarrassing for President Yan?
This won't do; he has to find a way to atone for his sins!
Yun Qing didn't go back inside; instead, she stood at the front door waiting for Yan Chen. The gentle breeze on her face calmed her down.
When Yan Chen's car stopped in front of her, she was already able to calmly and perfectly play the role of a gentle, innocent woman.
Assistant Lin quickly got out of the car first. Upon seeing Yun Qing, he immediately said, "Miss Lu, Mr. Yan is drunk and there's no one to take care of him tonight. What do you think..."
Just as Yan Chen was about to open the car door, believing he wasn't very drunk, he silently withdrew his hand.
As Assistant Lin spoke, he opened the other side of the car door in the back seat, his face full of worry. "President Yan doesn't like outsiders staying at home. I'm worried that something might happen to him if he's alone at night."
Yun Qing peeked into the car and saw Yan Chen resting his elbow on the window, supporting his forehead. She could faintly smell alcohol on him, so he must have drunk quite a bit.
Assistant Lin glanced at her expression and continued, "President Yan was already quite drunk, and he was seriously frightened by the car accident on the way. He might have a fever tonight."
Assistant Lin has already gone this far. Regardless of whether Yun Qing is worried about Yan Chen or not, the plot and character settings do not allow her to ignore Yan Chen.
Finally, Yun Qing got into the car with a worried look on her face and said gently, "I'll keep an eye on him tonight."
Yan Chen closed his eyes and began to ponder. It seemed that Assistant Lin's salary hadn't increased for half a year. It was time to give it a raise.
