Chapter 3: Chapter 003 How did it become so poor?
The assistant coughed a few times, waved his hand to clear away the exhaust fumes for Fu Sitian, and struggled to say, "Perhaps, I should drive you instead."
"No need." His gaze fell on the girl wearing a duckbill cap on the pickup truck, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes beneath the black sunglasses.
Seeing he couldn't persuade his boss, the assistant frowned deeply. The pickup clearly had signs of having been in a collision, not only was the rear hood bent upwards, but the body was dented and the windshield was also cracked...
All of Fu's vehicles were limited edition luxury sedans, and this car in front of him... What kind of trash was it?!
Jiang Lin jumped out of the car in her casual outfit, saw the assistant's displeasure, and asked Fu Sitian, "Who is this...?"
"I am Fu..."
"A colleague." Fu Sitian interrupted, sending a warning glance towards the assistant, "You've worked hard, go back to work."
The assistant, helpless, knew his boss was set on experiencing hardship; could he even stop him?
"Then I'll help you into the car."
After he spoke, he pulled the door handle, but the next second, the door shook, and with a clang, it fell off!
"..."
The assistant truly had his eyes opened now! Was this car door made of paper? How could it protect Fu's personal safety?
Fu's wife was barely a doctor, how could her family be this poor?
Jiang Lin, seeing the disdain in the assistant's eyes, chuckled and explained, "Sorry, I lent the car to a friend a few days ago, and it got into an accident. I haven't had the chance to get it properly fixed."
"But it doesn't matter, I know a bit about repairs myself." Saying this, she smoothly hoisted the door back up and clicked it into place.
"!!!"
The assistant was stunned. Were there still such formidable girls nowadays?!
Fu Sitian was also taken aback. The first meeting was asking for marriage, the second meeting showcasing a broken car; how could this woman surprise him every time they met?
"Help me get in." The man composed himself and instructed the assistant.
Seeing his boss's determined departure, the assistant sighed deeply in his heart and helped him sit in the passenger seat. Well, after all, there were bodyguards following Fu, so likely nothing would happen.
"Sit tight and hold on." Jiang Lin reminded softly.
Putting on his sunglasses, he hid the turmoil in his eyes, "Very stable."
The roaring noise abruptly started, and the pickup truck sped off, kicking up a cloud of dust on this financial street. Soon, the nearby sports cars, signaled by the assistant's gaze, revved their engines and sped away.
From the CBD center of Hai City to the suburban Fanhua County, Jiang Lin's beat-up pickup roared for a full two hours before reaching the Jiang Family home.
The moment the car stopped, Fu Sitian surreptitiously rubbed his nearly deaf ears and sighed almost inaudibly.
This car... must be changed!
Just as he thought that, Jiang Lin jumped down from the truck, opened Fu Sitian's door, and her gaze fell on his legs. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch his thigh directly.
The man's gentle face immediately darkened, "Let go!"
Was his thigh something she could just touch whenever she wanted? How could this woman be so impertinent?
Jiang Lin ignored the cold expression on the man's face and looked at him, "Car accident?"
"Let go!"
Knowing this topic was painful for the man, Jiang Lin softened her tone, "I don't mean anything by it; I'm also an orthopedic doctor. It's better for me to understand your condition so I can use the appropriate methods during your rehabilitation."
When Fu Sitian heard this, a flash of pain passed through his eyes, then he dismissively said, "Car accident fifteen years ago, failed surgery, only a thirty percent chance of recovery."
Jiang Lin touched his thigh for a while longer, making a few determinations in her mind, "Later, give me your medical records, and I'll help you."
"You?" Fu Sitian could not hide his skepticism.
It wasn't that he looked down on people, but countless renowned doctors worldwide had said there was no hope for his leg. And here was this new wife, who from both age and experience, did not inspire confidence in him.
"Let's go inside, Mom is also very anxious." Knowing the man did not believe her, Jiang Lin changed the subject. After all, she did not have a hundred percent confidence in curing him either.
"Mm."
The doorbell had just rung when an eager reply came from inside.
"Coming." Accompanied by the excited tremble in her voice, the door opened, and seeing the two people, Jiang's mother's smiling face suddenly stiffened.
