Not Everyone Wearing White Is An Angel

The next morning, after getting up, Chu Lian started preparing the things she would need for today's visit to the hospital. She wanted to see her parents in this world. She didn't receive any information about their accident yesterday, probably because they were worried that knowing about it would make her anxious and affect her life.

Because of their jobs and positions, it was normal for them to work late into the night or not come home for several days. So they likely wanted to recover from their injuries and then use the excuse of being busy with work to cover it up. This way, their daughter wouldn't worry, and she could focus entirely on her studies.

However, Chu Lian, having lived as an adult in society for several years in her previous life and having studied psychology at some point, could easily guess their thoughts.

Although she had pretty much figured out their plan, she didn't want to go along with it. She wanted to use this opportunity to gradually integrate herself into this new world.

Thinking of this, she first called Wang Tingsi and threatened him to keep quiet about her affairs. She also coordinated their stories about how she knew they were in the hospital, to prevent her parents from becoming suspicious.

Even though they wouldn't blame her, they might have some strange thoughts, which she didn't want. Some things are better kept secret, both for others' sake and her own.

She put on a white lace long dress, with over-the-knee white socks that just covered her slender legs peeking out from under the skirt. She let her hair down, then put on a white lace sun hat, and also wore a pair of white lace gloves. Now she looked like a little lady.

Today's temperature was much higher than the previous days, typical of southern weather where you can experience all four seasons in a short time.

Moreover, the sun was quite harsh today, so it was appropriate to shield herself from it. Using an umbrella wasn't necessary; a hat was simple and light, leaving one hand free to carry more things.

Yes, she had woken up a few hours earlier today just to buy a bunch of nourishing items and then spent more than three hours making a pot of chicken soup to bring to her parents for a nutritional boost.

She had asked Wang Tingsi about her parents' condition. Although they had only suffered minor injuries, there were some complications. They had lost a significant amount of blood and were not in good spirits, so they needed to stay in the hospital for observation.

According to Wang Tingsi, after he returned from her house, he checked the traffic and in-car recordings from the time of the accident and questioned the perpetrator. He concluded that it was an unintentional accident.

At least, no deliberate traces were found. The car involved was also inspected, and it was determined that there was a problem with the car. When the driver tried to slow down, the brakes didn't respond well, causing the car to decelerate very slowly. To avoid another car trying to overtake, the driver ended up crashing into her parents, who were coming home early from work.

Of course, Chu Lian didn't believe this was truly an accident. From what she knew, there were over a hundred ways to cause something to lose control unnoticed or to sabotage something secretly. So she was very certain that someone had meticulously planned this accident.

However, her current abilities were limited, and she couldn't find the mastermind yet. Still, she believed that this person and the five people who came to capture her were either from the same faction or closely allied.

Thinking too much about it now wouldn't help, so she decisively stopped further contemplation once she hit a dead end. With the system's help, she was sure to grow into a formidable existence in the future. When that time comes, she would uncover and deal with everyone who dared to harm her.

After hanging up the phone, she scanned her things once more to ensure she hadn't forgotten anything. Then, she put on a pair of white leather boots and left the house.

A light blue sports car was parked outside, its sleek body shining brilliantly under the sun, drawing the attention of passersby who couldn't help but gaze at it.

Especially the young girls, who couldn't take their eyes off the tall, handsome guy standing next to the sports car. The combination of a sports car and a handsome guy was a fatal attraction for many women.

Seeing that he had attracted quite a few eyes, the handsome guy took off his sunglasses, holding them in one hand, and flashed a slight smile at the surrounding girls. At that moment, standing by the car in the sunlight, he looked like Apollo descended to the earth, exuding extraordinary charm and handsomeness.

Well, that is, until he saw Chu Lian coming out and immediately changed his expression, lowering his gaze and looking deferential. If not for that, he would have been the perfect man. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as perfection in this world.

"Yo, yo, yo, learning to flirt now, are we, Zhao Ziming, Young Master Zhao, the handsome Zhao…" Chu Lian unceremoniously brought all her things inside, placed them beside her, and sat in the passenger seat, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Hey, come on now. Do you think I need to learn that? Just standing here, countless beauties would come flocking to me. But unfortunately, my heart already belongs to someone..."

Zhao Ziming, noticing that Chu Lian was in a bad mood and fearing that if she complained, the person he liked would ignore him in the future, quickly tried to express his sincerity. However, before he could finish his sentence, Chu Lian interrupted him: "Just drive already, I need to go to Suchen City First People's Hospital..."

Knowing he couldn't get more information out of her now, Zhao Ziming sighed and gave up. He started the sports car and quickly headed toward Suchen City First People's Hospital.

Seeing his demeanor, Chu Lian smiled secretly where he couldn't see, then shifted her thoughts to the system space. She approached Ayase with a cheerful expression and said, "Ayase, Ayase, your charm is really something. As soon as Young Master Zhao heard that it was you asking, he immediately drove a sports car over to take me to the hospital. He is truly devoted to you..."

Ayase glanced at her with her charming almond-shaped eyes and swirled the wine in her glass, saying calmly, "He only likes this superficial appearance. If it were an average-looking woman in the same situation, would he still be interested? So why bother talking about him? Right now, I'll only be good to you. Anyone else, even if they are exceptional, is just an ordinary person to me."

"I know you don't like him, Ayase, so I didn't say much. In the future, I won't use your name to command him. He'll probably forget about you after a while. Men are like that; they have a hard time changing their habit of chasing new things."

Chu Lian pouted and walked over to her, leaning her body against Ayase's and falling into her arms. She wanted to rest for a bit.

Outside, Zhao Ziming noticed Chu Lian turn her head slightly and saw that she had closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. He couldn't help but sigh, "I know you all don't believe that I genuinely only like one person now. But only I know that she captured my heart in an instant. Although they still have many prejudices against me, I will never give up on making her truly like me."

The car moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes, they arrived at Suchen City First People's Hospital. Chu Lian had him stop from a distance, gathered her things, and got out of the car.

Before leaving, she waved at the car window and said goodbye before turning away.

Although he still hadn't gotten any news about Ayase today, getting along well with her sister was also a good achievement.

The sun had gradually moved to the middle of the sky, making the air even hotter than in the morning. Chu Lian shielded her face with her hand, adjusted her hat, and bent down to pick up her things.

Her movements were so natural and graceful that it was a pleasure to watch. It seemed that someone not far away was pointing a phone at her, probably either secretly taking photos or recording a video. She didn't mind, and gave them a gentle smile before picking up her things and slowly walking towards the hospital.

In that place, under the sunlight, the little girl walking slowly towards the hospital looked like an angel descended to the mortal world. A passing photographer captured this scene, preserving it forever in a photograph.
