333: Crash

Crash

Thinking back on how badly he bullied her, Qin Yan didn't want to forgive him that easily.1

However, she was really tired. She just wanted to rest, so she conceded, "Okay, I forgive you. Now let me rest."

Xi Ting heaved a sigh of relief and hugged Qin Yan, "Thank you, cookie."

The second day, as she didn't have to attend school, Qin Yan woke up late.

When she was done washing up and headed downstairs, Xi Ting had already finished breakfast and left for the office.

The little bun had gone on a school trip so Qin Yan had her breakfast alone. After the breakfast, Qin Yan called the chauffeur to fetch her to the Xi family mansion.

As she alighted, Qin Yan coincidentally bumped into Old Master Xi. Just as Qin Yan was about to greet the Old Master, she noticed a very high speed electric-powered scooter coming from behind him.

Since the Old Master's focus on Qin Yan, he failed to notice the fast electric-powered scooter.

Seeing that she was about to crash into the old man, the woman on the electric-powered scooter screamed. Yet, it was too late for her to hit the brakes. The scooter came flying toward the old master's body.

The old master jumped when he heard the scream, but it was too late. After all, he did not live in a place where something as dangerous as the electric-powered scooters ran wild in the street. So he was less alert. It was too late for regrets now.

The bodyguards of the old master were dumbfounded. They wanted to rush forward to save him but after seeing Qin Yan, the Old Master had walked fast towards her and the bodyguards were left behind.

Just when everyone thought that they were going to die, Qin Yan extended a leg and kicked the electric-powered scooter. With one hand, she stopped the old master from collapsing, and with the other, she held onto the person riding on the scooter.

Then, as the scooter was kicked away, she held onto both people.

The person riding the electric-powered scooter was a woman in her forties. At that moment, her face was frozen with fear. When Qin Yan kicked her electric-powered scooter away, it emitted a loud bang and shattered into pieces. Only then did she recover from her shock.

The old master was obviously surprised by this sudden scene. He was simply surprised—joyfully, even—not scared. He did not expect his granddaughter-in-law to be such a strong girl with quick reflexes.

The old man was overjoyed in this encounter. He had investigated his granddaughter-in-law before but he didn't find anything worthwhile. But since there was nothing negative, he didn't oppose her being with his grandson.

But now when he saw how she saved him, his eyes were filled with excitement. Not only was his granddaughter-in-law charmingly beautiful, but she was also skilled! Not only was she skillful, but she was also quick-witted and had a loving heart!

In that move earlier, not only did his granddaughter-in-law save him, but she also saved this woman. This meant that she was a kind-hearted person. This made the old man very happy. He could not help but agree that his grandson was amazing—he found a treasure worth keeping on his first try.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Seeing that the woman had steadied herself, Qin Yan hurried to check on the old master. After all, the old master was aged. No matter how much he loved bouncing around, it was easy for problems to arise with his old limbs.

The old master looked at his granddaughter-in-law with eyes full of affection and excitement. He kept shaking his head, "I'm good, I'm good, I'm good! Thank you, Yan Yan!"

"You're welcome," Qin Yan smiled.

Not only was the old master saved by his granddaughter-in-law, but he was also cared for by such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law. His wrinkled face looked like it was about to bloom into a flower.

Qin Yan did not care about the woman who had been sent flying by her kick. After all, this was a residential road. There were many pedestrians on the road, as well as many elderly and children.

Who would care about the cars on the road in their haste sometimes, especially those children? They would run if they were happy. She was so fast on the scooter that even if nothing happened today, an accident was bound to happen one day. Therefore, Qin Yan felt that it was good enough that she did not scold the woman for riding her electric-powered scooter so fast.

However, the old master thought differently. After all, the older he was, the more tolerant he became. After speaking to Qin Yan, he immediately turned to the middle-aged woman and asked concernedly, "Lady, are you alright?"

The woman finally snapped out of her daze. She looked at the broken parts of the electric-powered scooter scattered all over the ground. Then, she shifted her gaze to the plain cotton jacket that the old man was wearing, the plain cotton shoes, and his dark skin.

The Xi family customised their clothes by a top grade designer. To not attract much attention, the clothes looked plain on outside but were of top quality and extremely comfortable on inside.

So, the woman did not recognise the brand of the clothes and thinking that Old Master Xi was definitely not a family member of some resident in this area, she glared at the old master and snapped, "Alright? How could I be alright? Look at my scooter! Which eye of yours saw that I'm alright?"

The old master did not expect this woman to be so unreasonable. He reached into his bag and prepared to take out the money to compensate.

"Indeed, I was careless. How much is your electric-powered scooter? I'll compensate you."

When she heard that the old man wanted to pay for her scooter, the woman immediately demanded an exorbitant price, "3500."

The old master only had a little more than a thousand worth of cash and a card with him. The rest was with the bodyguards, but it was not convenient for him to ask his guards to come out. He could only say, "I don't have that much money with me now. How about this? Write down your bank card number. When I'm free, I'll ask my family to transfer the money to you."

"Heh—" The woman laughed coldly, "If you don't have money and don't want to pay me back, just say it. You don't have to beat around the bush."

"Eh? This lady! How can you say that about me, this old man? I really want to compensate you," Old Master Xi was saddened by this woman's words and did not know what else to say.

"Tsk! If you really want to compensate me, bring me to your house right now! You don't have money, but your family must have money, right? Tell me, where do you live? Which building and unit do you live in? I don't need you to bring me there, I can go up and get money from them myself."

The corners of the old master's mouth twitched. He was not foolish enough to reveal his identity to some random woman.

Just as the woman was about to say something, Qin Yan who watched the woman bully her grandfather-in-law, started acting up.

"That's right! You're right, he just doesn't want to pay! Why should he pay you? His eyes aren't grown on his back, so who would know that you were going to bump into him? It's already a blessing that he didn't ask you to pay for the mental trauma, but he still wants to pay for your electric scooter after you almost knocked into someone! This thing of yours looks like it's been around for a few years. Are you sure anyone would want it even if you're reselling it at 500 bucks?"

"How shameless must you be to demand 3500 yuan just like that? Even the new ones don't cost 3500 yuan, right? Are you trying to extort him, an elderly, by banking on the fact that he doesn't know the market price?"

As soon as Qin Yan finished speaking, the onlookers also started shifting to her side.

"It was your fault, to begin with. I often see you riding so fast in the residential area."

"That's right. If I hadn't stopped my grandson that day, he would have been sent flying by you!"

"You bumped into someone, and they haven't even criticized you yet, and you still have the cheek to ask them to pay. Do you think you're being reasonable?"

However, that woman was not someone meek. She did not show any sign of guilt even after being surrounded by so many people. Instead, she started to curse, angered by the things people said.

"Are you kidding me? The old man came in front of my scooter suddenly. I couldn't stop in time. If he didn't come in front of my scooter so suddenly, would I have rear-ended him? Instead of calling out the wrong party here, you're actually accusing me. Are you all nuts?"
