Chapter 65 - 60 The God of Cars Wants to Become Qiao Jing's Disciple
Shock and surprise trembled within the usually calm eyes of Qiao Jing, utterly astonished by the man’s words.
“Do you know what you’re saying?”
“I do, don’t worry, I’ll close my eyes and won’t peek,” Zhan Qipei said, exuding the image of an extreme gentleman while speaking.
“You’re a patient, it’s inconvenient for you, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” Zhan Qipei added.
Besides, last time when you were drunk, you lay naked on his bed, he saw everything. And you dragged him onto the bed, the cotton blanket pressing down on him, leaving him breathless and panting.
“Thanks for the offer, but I can manage on my own,” Qiao Jing pushed away Zhan Qipei’s hand and hobbled toward the bathroom.
Zhan Qipei watched Qiao Jing’s retreating figure, his chest visibly heaving.
This woman, why is she so stubborn? Can’t she be frail like a normal woman?
Just as Zhan Qipei was thinking this, Lu Zijiao and Xu Moqian arrived, and with them, the God of Cars, Li Qi.
Why has the God of Cars come?
Zhan Qipei looked puzzledly at Li Qi.
“Where’s Sister Jing?” Xu Moqian glanced over the bed and asked.
“Click—” A sound emitted as Qiao Jing pushed the bathroom door open and came out.
“You’re here?” Qiao Jing hobbled to the side of the bed.
Xu Moqian naturally reached out and caressed Qiao Jing’s hand, and she showed no sign of refusal, allowing Xu Moqian to support her.
Zhan Qipei clenched his teeth in pain; when he tried to support her just now, she had pushed him away. But when Xu Moqian helped her, she didn’t mind. In her heart, was he less than Xu Moqian?
At this moment, Lu Zijiao answered a call, “Brother, you’ve arrived, right? I’m already here, just come up, VIP ward 329…”
Another one! Zhan Qipei’s already dark expression turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Li Qi approached the bed, arranged the flowers properly, then solemnly spoke to Qiao Jing, “Miss Qiao, I have a request.”
Hmm?
Qiao Jing looked at Li Qi, befuddled, “What is it?”
“I want you to take me as your disciple! To learn driving from you!”
As soon as Li Qi spoke these words, the entire room was stunned.
Lu Zijiao rubbed his ears and mechanically turned to look at Zhan Qipei, “Zhan, Young Master Zhan, I didn’t just hallucinate, did I? The God of Cars actually wants to take Qiao Jing as his mentor?”
That’s the God of Cars!
They were worshippers of this great figure back when they were still in high school!
Even to this day, merely mentioning him still excited them beyond compare!
And now he was making a request to Qiao Jing to become her disciple…
At this moment, both Lu Zijiao and Zhan Qipei felt their emotions complicated and strange beyond any description.
“Ha ha—” Xu Moqian laughed proudly and patted Li Qi’s shoulder, “Now you see how awesome my Sister Jing is, huh? Let me tell you, when my Sister Jing was only 19, she KO’ed the F1 racing world champion. Beating you would be a piece of cake!”
Xu Moqian’s revelation shocked everyone in the room once again.
“Whoa—” Lu Zijiao sharply inhaled, “Really? That badass?”
If what Xu Moqian said was true, then compared to the God of Cars, Qiao Jing was the true legend of the racing world.
Qiao Jing frowned, looking at Xu Moqian, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xu Moqian wasn’t talking nonsense; Qiao Jing was just habitually low-key and disliked showing off her achievements.
She preferred to have her meals, drink well, and do her work. That was her greatest aspiration.
Perhaps it was a bit plain, not that ambitious, but this was her aspiration.
“Cough cough—” Xu Moqian cleared his throat, awkwardly trying to change the subject, “Sister Jing, seeing his sincerity, would you consider taking him as your disciple?”
Qiao Jing frowned and looked at Li Qi, “When I was younger, I stumbled upon my interest in racing and cultivated it, but now, I’ve lost much of that interest and don’t have much to teach you. If you want to learn, just ask, and I’ll tell you everything, but let’s forget about the formalities of apprenticeship.”
Tsk tsk tsk—
Xu Moqian inwardly clicked his tongue and pursed his lips without a word.
Qiao Jing’s words left Li Qi with not much else to say, “Then I’ll just thank Miss Qiao for now.”
Although Qiao Jing did not take him as a formal disciple, in his heart, she was his mentor.
“You’re welcome,” Qiao Jing replied politely.
Soon after, Lu Zijin also arrived.
Last night, when Lu Zijin found out about Qiao Jing’s car accident, he wanted to come at the earliest opportunity. But he had a patient waiting for surgery and simply couldn’t get away. Later, when Lu Zijiao told him Qiao Jing was fine and had been taken to the ward to sleep, he thought it better not to disturb her rest.
Everyone in the ward was fussing over Qiao Jing. Zhan Ruiting arrived as well, joining Lu Zijin and Xu Moqian around the hospital bed, which made Zhan Qipei’s anger surge visibly.
Zhan Qipei thought of a good solution and called for the attending physician.
Following Zhan Qipei’s instructions, the attending physician said to Lu Zijin and the others, “The patient needs rest, please continue no further disturbances.”
Hearing what the doctor said, Xu Moqian and the others felt it was best not to stay any longer.
As a physician himself, Lu Zijin understood that Qiao Jing needed plenty of rest.
A minute later, the ward quieted down, leaving only Zhan Qipei behind.
After lying down, Qiao Jing turned her head to look at Zhan Qipei, who stood to the side.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
Zhan Qipei frowned unhappily and was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
Tang Yan pushed open the door but did not enter.
“Boss, the matter you instructed me to investigate has been looked into.”
Zhan Qipei half-closed his eyes, subtly shifting his gaze away from Qiao Jing before leaving the ward.
“Who did it?”
“The one who threw stones at Miss Qiao’s car was Xue Huiyao from the Xue Family.”
“To the Xue Family.”
“Yes.”
Xue Family.
Xue Huiyao was shouting furiously.
“Damn it! That lowly country woman has cost me five million! All of my savings!”
Last night, Xue Huiyao had put all his savings on Li Qi to win. He was convinced it was a sure thing, but ended up losing everything.
Mother Xue was also enraged, continuously cursing Qiao Jing in her mind.
“We can’t let your father know about this. If he finds out you blew five million in one go, he’ll be furious to death.”
“I know that, but just thinking about it makes me livid. That five million was my pocket money saved over such a long time. And now it’s all gone. Once that wretched woman Qiao Jing leaves the Zhan Family, I’ll make sure to capture her and torment her. Make her wish she were dead!”
Just as Xue Huiyao finished speaking, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Oh? And how exactly do you intend to make her wish she were dead?”
