Chapter 812: Who gave you the courage of 317!
Xiaoqi slept again after waking up in the afternoon.
Mao Kun and Xun Chun had just left, Xiaowu went to fetch boiling water, quite a few people had visited him from the afternoon until now.
Hearing Ren Qian’s self-introduction, he turned his head to look at the visitor in the ward.
Ren Qian was removed from his position last year, and after coming to Jiangjing during the New Year, he had been staying here, dressed in meticulous clothing, looking thin and frail, his graying hair neatly combed, his murky eyes still conveying authority.
Xiaoqi’s calm eyes were undisturbed, just looking at the man who claimed to be Ren Wanxuan’s grandfather, Ren Qian.
He had met Ren Jiawei and was quite familiar with Bai Lian and Ji Shaojun, but this was the first time meeting Ren Qian.
Since his awakening, Xiaowu and Bai Lian hadn’t mentioned any details about the car accident, it was only then that Xiaoqi found out the driver was Ren Wanxuan.
He didn’t speak.
It seemed he was tired.
“Comrade Xiao, you…” Ren Qian looked at Xiaoqi and frowned again.
Xiaowu pushed the door and entered from outside.
He didn’t recognize Ren Qian, but remembered Ren Wanxuan. Upon hearing from Bai Lian and Sun Fei that Ren Wanxuan had intentionally hit someone, he put the kettle on the ground, “What are you doing here, get out quickly!”
He reached out intending to show them out.
Xiaoqi didn’t say a word, and Ren Qian really became anxious, “I’ll send you abroad for further studies, and besides, whatever compensation you want, I can make it happen, just agree to settle this privately. She’s the only granddaughter I have raised since she was little. She accidentally hurt you, and I apologize on her behalf. I will educate her properly in the future, please understand an old man over fifty years old…”
Ren Wanxuan was brought up by Ren Qian singlehandedly, and knowing she had spent a night in the detention center, he genuinely felt distressed.
Mu Zhendong had just bailed her out, and he brought Ren Wanxuan directly to find Xiaoqi.
“What accident,” Xiaowu started scolding, “She sped up instead of stopping even though we had already stopped. It’s only because our Xiaoqi was lucky to survive, and you think you can lightly gloss over it with a casual ‘accident’?!”
Ren Qian kept pleading.
Xiaoqi’s eyes stared at the ceiling, his eyelashes fluttering, but he didn’t speak.
Previously in Xiangcheng, a man of high status, the leading authority, now humbly pleading with a small-time delinquent for his granddaughter.
These were her family members.
He had read storybooks in the orphanage; crocodiles protect their young in their mouths when in danger, releasing them to safety later, and during rains, eagles shield their eaglets with their wings…
Xiaowu was the one with the frail body, discarded by his parents due to his prominent pain nerves.
Because he was often bullied and cried by the king of the children, they were isolated. He and Xiaowu left the orphanage in middle school, scrounging together living and school expenses, around the time when school fees for the second year of junior high became unaffordable and he had to drop out.
He too had thought how nice it would be to have a father and a mother.
Xiaoqi closed his eyes, not looking at Ren Qian, “Please leave.”
Ren Qian had shown enough sincerity, originally thinking these offers would quickly sway the mind of a young boy.
Yet the answer was still the same.
He was becoming impatient, his tone taking on an instructive authority, “Comrade Xiao, I don’t want to make this a big deal, I’m seriously negotiating with you. Do you really think this accident will lead to a case? We are offering as much as we can, there’s no more to give. Where are your elders? Call them out, I want to talk to them.”
He still thought Xiaoqi was dissatisfied with the offer.
Ren Wanxuan had been silent all this time, watching Xiaoqi’s face, her hands hanging at her sides slightly clenched.
“Get out now!” Xiaoqi had still been listening.

At the mention of “elders”, he finally couldn’t hold back anymore and physically escorted the pair out the door.
The nurse outside was startled to see Xiaowu escorting out the two recent visitors, not knowing who was staying in the ward, although various hospital leaders had visited.
She had been the one to allow the recent guests in, never expecting them to be escorted out by Xiaowu.
She memorized the faces of Ren Wanxuan and Ren Qian, making a note not to let them in next time.

Downstairs, Ren Qian exited the elevator.
Turning back to look at Ren Wanxuan, he said in a low voice, “I’m going to find Jiawei, you go look for Mu Zhendong.”
Finally snapping back to reality, Ren Wanxuan made a phone call to Mu Zhendong.
Mu Zhendong had gone to see Xia Yun that afternoon and did not accompany Ren Wanxuan to find Xiaoqi, as this matter didn’t require his involvement. If not for Bai Lian being in the middle, neither Ren Wanxuan nor Ren Qian would have taken any action.
He had booked a private room to drink with Xia Yun.
When Ren Wanxuan arrived, they hadn’t finished their meal yet.
Having spent so much time with the Mu Family, participating in numerous gatherings, she had developed a certain degree of composure, “Uncle, he doesn’t agree to a private settlement. He listens to my cousin, but my cousin wants to see me…”
