Chapter 1016 Yan Rui's Accident

Zhang Ziming's smile froze.

She's been outmaneuvered by Lulu.

Xue Tian looked at the two of them with envy: "You two can buy a house whenever you want, but I'm different."

“If I want to buy a house, I have to apply to my parents. They can’t just buy me a house in Yucheng because I want to stay here for a few days.”

Xue Tian's family isn't rich, but they're not poor either; they're comfortably well-off.

Her parents run a bed and breakfast in southern Yunnan. They don't earn much, but it's enough for the family to live a stable life.

When she went home before, her parents asked her whether she planned to stay in Beijing or return to her hometown after graduation.

Xue Tian hesitated at the time.

She loves the prosperity of the capital city, but she also loves the beauty of her hometown.

If I stay in the capital, there are too many things to consider.

Xue Tian also told her two best friends about her dilemma.

Zhang Zimo certainly hoped that Xue Tian would stay in the capital.

"Besides Lulu, you are my best sister. Stay here, and if there's anything I can help you with, I'll do my best."

Xue Tian wanted to laugh; this was a guarantee from the young lady herself.

"Thank you, Miss. I guess I've finally managed to latch onto someone's coattails." Xue Tian pounced on Zhang Ziming and hugged her leg.

Zhang Zimo waved his hand: "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems."

Shen Lu was amused by the two of them: "Sweetie, if your family is rich, you can buy a house in the capital first."

"Even if you don't stay in the capital in the future, you can still rent it out."

"Houses in the capital are scarce; why not buy one if you can?"

"Once you buy a house, you'll have a place to live, which will provide you with more security when choosing a career in the future."

Shen Lu's suggestion was based on Xue Tian's family circumstances.

Xue Tian hesitated: "If my family were to buy me a house in the capital, it would be a lot of pressure. For now, we can only come up with a down payment of five million."

Even a two-bedroom apartment in Beijing isn't cheap; it costs at least seven or eight million yuan.

Therefore, if you put down a down payment of five million and pay the remaining balance in installments, the monthly loan repayment will be quite substantial.

It's certainly not something Xue Tian can afford right now.

She can only rely on her family.

Shen Lu noticed Xue Tian's hesitation but didn't try to persuade her further.

Everyone thinks differently.

They didn't want to put pressure on Xue Tian either.

"I'll discuss it with my parents again."

She did not make a decision immediately.

After the three of them finished shopping, they strolled around and prepared to leave when Shen Lu's phone rang.

She glanced at the number, which seemed unfamiliar: "Hello, this is Shen Lu."

"LuLu, it's Aunt Jiang. RuiRui, RuiRui is in trouble."

Aunt Jiang's voice choked with emotion: "Your Uncle Yan has gone on a business trip."

"Could you come to the hospital?"

The Yan and Jiang families weren't without capable people, but when she heard that Shen Lu was studying medicine, she immediately thought of her.

Shen Lu asked seriously, "Which hospital is Sister Rui Rui in?"

"We are at the First Municipal Hospital."

Jiang Mingfang had lost her composure.

"I'll be right there," Shen Lu agreed without hesitation.

"My sister had an accident, and I'm going to the hospital now. Can you go home by yourselves?"

Xue Tian and Zhang Zimo both said they would go with Shen Lu.

"Your aunt sounded panicked. What if we go and can help her?"

Shen Lu still refused: "You are unfamiliar with this place, so there's no point in you going there."

"Go home and get some sleep. I'll call you if I need anything."

Since Shen Lu had said so, the two had no choice but to agree.

The three people split into two groups.

Shen Lu rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible, only to find Jiang Mingfang looking haggard and anxious outside the emergency room.

"Aunt Jiang!"

Shen Lu walked over in a few steps.

Ask about the situation.

Jiang Mingfang's face was grim: "I heard the news from the hospital, saying that Ruirui accidentally fell out of the window at the hotel."

"Rui Rui, that girl, hardly drinks alcohol even when she's eating. How could she have fallen down like that? Someone must have harmed her!"

"Moreover, you don't know, in families like ours, her father and I also cultivated her alcohol tolerance from a young age."

"So even if she drank, there's no way she would have drunk too much."

"The hotel's excuse about being drunk is absolutely false."

"The person she was with at the hotel at the time was Chen Yan."

“Rui Rui’s matter is definitely related to Chen Yan.”

She used to like Chen Yan quite a bit because he was good at talking and coaxing people, and he never stopped giving her gifts.

Although they are not valuable items, the sentiment is the most important.

After all, the Yan family is not short of money.

"I've already called the police, and they'll be verifying it soon."

"No matter who's behind Chen Yan, I won't let this go!"

Jiang Mingfang is now like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Her reason was completely consumed by rage; she dared not imagine how she would live if something were to happen to her daughter!

Soon the police came.

The young policeman who arrived was lean, capable, and had sharp features.

"Auntie!" As soon as she arrived, she went straight to Jiang Mingfang.

Jiang Mingfang took her nephew's hand and explained the situation. The police officers brought by Jiang Songchao gave her a few instructions.

They went off to take care of their business, but Jiang Song stayed behind.

Jiang Mingfang then introduced him to Shen Lu: "This is my eldest nephew, he works at the police station, his name is Jiang Song."

“You can call him cousin like Rui Rui, or you can call him Song Ge.”

Jiang Song didn't quite understand.

What kind of cousin is this?

"This child is named Shen Lu. She is the daughter of your uncle's friend. We only recently got in touch with her."

Jiang Mingfang didn't explain much, but Jiang Song could see how much she valued this little girl.

Although my uncle is currently only a deputy, it would be easy for him to climb the ranks.

In their early fifties, they are at the prime of their lives, a time for adventure.

He didn't believe that his uncle would casually become close to a friend's daughter.

He is usually very careful about his interactions with friends, not wanting to cause trouble for them or himself.

What was the reason that made the uncle and aunt treat this friend's daughter differently?

This friend must be very important to my uncle; they are close friends, so there's no need to avoid suspicion.

Not only is there no need to avoid suspicion, but the Yan family will also help her without hesitation whenever she needs it.

"Hello, Brother Song." Shen Lu greeted him generously.

"Little Deer Sister." Jiang Song and Yan Rui, being siblings, addressed her the same way.

Jiang Mingfang patted her nephew: "Don't be so serious with girls."

If her nephew weren't a bit older, she would have tried to match them up.

Oh, no, that won't work either, Xiao Lu already has a fiancé.

Her nephew is a grown man, and she can't go against her conscience and say that Jiang Song is more outstanding than Lu Xingye.

"You've misunderstood me. I've always been this serious."

Jiang Song was helpless.

Waiting outside the emergency room, Jiang Mingfang was initially very nervous, but her nephew and Shen Lu's banter made her relax a bit.

The operating room lights were still on when news from the police arrived.

Chen Yan has been taken away by the police for questioning.

But he refused to admit what he had done, insisting that Yan Rui had fallen accidentally.

Who would fall out of the window? Is she trying to climb the exterior wall and become Spider-Man?
