Chapter 1268: Chapter 1261: Surgery (7) Chapter 1268: Chapter 1261: Surgery (7) Secretary Wang was terrified and urgently turned the steering wheel, but he still couldn’t stabilize the car, and it was scraped by the car behind.

Qin Zhiyou’s car had a good shock absorption system, but even the best shock absorption systems couldn’t protect the passengers inside from surging forward due to the sudden hit from the car behind. Lu Weixi wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, she was thrown forward by the force.

Usually, this wouldn’t be a big deal, but she was pregnant, so her first instinct wasn’t to protect herself but to use her arms to shield her abdomen.

Although she didn’t want the child, she also didn’t wish for him to encounter any unfortunate accidents before his birth.

But Lu Weixi’s action caused her head to hit the front seat directly, and her knees slammed into the center console. Fortunately, it was winter, and she was wearing a lot of clothes, and the seats were cushioned, or else such an impact would have, at the very least, caused abrasions.

When Lu Weixi was thrown forward, Qin Zhiyou’s first instinct was to grab her. However, after Lu Weixi had gotten into the car, she seemed to purposely maintain a distance from him, which was enough that Qin Zhiyou couldn’t protect her in time.

After Lu Weixi had crashed into the front, Qin Zhiyou quickly shifted closer to her, then naturally grabbed her arm, “Are you okay?”

Lu Weixi was still a bit shaken, but thankfully nothing serious seemed to have happened, and her abdomen didn’t feel like it had been impacted. She shook her head.

Qin Zhiyou still frowned, constantly watching her subtle expressions. Meanwhile, Secretary Wang had already gotten out of the car and was negotiating with the owner of the other car.

In such cases, the trailing car was definitely at fault. The only question was whether Qin Zhiyou just wanted the other party to take responsibility and pay compensation.

Qin Zhiyou was indeed a bit angry; it wasn’t a big deal that he was hit, but he was upset that Lu Weixi was dragged into this. But he no longer had the position to speak on Lu Weixi’s behalf, and he merely asked, “Did you get hurt just now? If you did…”

“I’m fine. Do we need to wait for traffic police to handle this accident? If not, having him pay compensation privately or through insurance is fine.”

Usually, if the collision wasn’t severe, car owners preferred to settle privately or through insurance as calling the traffic police would require waiting, usually at least half an hour.

So, they would just let it go? Qin Zhiyou looked at her again, made sure she was fine, and then instructed Secretary Wang, “Let him settle privately or through insurance, I’m in a hurry, just negotiate a rough amount, no need to aim high.”

The settlement price was slightly higher than going through insurance, but Qin Zhiyou wasn’t short of money.

With Qin Zhiyou’s approval, the matter was quickly resolved, the other party paid the fees, money exchanged hands, and they continued on their way, soon arriving at the old house.

Throughout the ride, Qin Zhiyou occasionally saw Lu Weixi holding her abdomen. He didn’t think much of it, and calculated the time, realizing it was also about the time for Lu Weixi’s menstrual period.

When they got off the car, they arrived at a familiar place, the vehicle just entered the gate when they saw Cai Yiren and Bai Weiyi playing ball in the yard. As soon as Cai Yiren saw the newcomer was Lu Weixi, she was first stunned, then her expression darkened, and then she put on a full-faced smile, “I thought who it was coming back, it turns out to be Weixi. Long time no see, sister-in-law. Wei Yi, call her sister.”

“I don’t have a sister like her!” Bai Weiyi said, and directly kicked the ball at her abdomen.
