The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 917: You’re My Future Daughter-in-Law, Of Course I Care About You

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: You’re My Future Daughter-in-Law, Of Course I Care About You

Huo Zijin asked nervously, "The traffic police haven’t come to investigate the scene yet. Does this count as a hit-and-run?"

Rong Ling replied, "He just strangled you. Leaving the scene now can only be considered ’emergency escape’."

Huo Zijin nodded, half understanding.

Rong Ling continued, "Also, his cash demand is legally considered a ’private settlement’."

After saying that, he pulled her hand towards the car door. "Get in the car."

Huo Zijin got in the car, and Rong Ling followed her into the back seat.

He casually instructed the driver, "Drive."

Huo Zijin said, "Uncle Rong, why did you give that man money? He’s unreasonable and clearly extorting money."

Rong Ling chuckled, "A few thousand dollars is nothing to me. Your safety is worth more than that. Also, next time you encounter someone like this, if they ask you for money, no matter how much, just give it to them. If you don’t have it, call your dad or call me."

Huo Zijin asked, "Even if they’re extorting?"

Rong Ling replied word by word, "For some people, when they’re driven by poverty, reason and dignity don’t matter anymore. If you confront people like that head-on, what if they hurt you?"

Huo Zijin replied with some embarrassment, "Thank you, Uncle Rong, for your concern."

Rong Ling laughed, "You’re Huo Tingdong’s precious daughter and the daughter-in-law I recognize. How can I not care about you?"

He then gently ruffled her hair. "Alright, don’t worry, it’s nothing." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Huo Zijin asked, "Uncle Rong, are you taking me home?"

Rong Ling replied, "The Chu Family is coming today. I’ve reserved a private room. Have you eaten? If not, why don’t you come with me?"

Huo Zijin thought for a moment, "Uh... I need to call my dad."

Rong Ling said, "I’ll call him."

He took out his phone and called Huo Tingdong.

After a few brief words, he hung up the phone. "Your dad agreed."

Huo Zijin nodded.

...

Jiangnan Club.

The car stopped at the entrance.

Rong Ling and Huo Zijin got out together.

At the door of the private room.

As Rong Ling pushed the door open, the people in the room stood up immediately.

Li Yufei smiled and said, "Husband, you’re finally here. Everyone’s waiting for you."

Before she finished speaking, she noticed Huo Zijin behind Rong Ling and was a bit surprised, "Yinyin, you’re here too?"

She looked at Rong Ling, "The ’business’ you mentioned was picking up your daughter-in-law?"

"Daughter-in-law?"

The Chu Family members were shocked. "Isn’t Young Master Rong still in high school?"

The Chu Family clearly misunderstood. Rong Ling mentioned a daughter-in-law, so they naturally assumed Huo Zijin was Rong Yin’s wife.

Rong Yin blushed and said, "She’s not..."

Li Junyan explained, "She’s my girlfriend, but we’re not engaged yet."

He paused, looking at Li Yufei, "Mom, don’t say things like that and cause misunderstandings."

Rong Xiaoyi chimed in to explain, "Uncle, Auntie, don’t misunderstand. This is Junyan’s girlfriend, and she’s still in school. They’re not engaged yet."

Li Yufei walked over, held Huo Zijin’s hand, and guided her to sit beside Li Junyan. With a cheerful smile, she chided, "When did I say anything wrong? This is the daughter-in-law I’ve recognized. Sooner or later, she’ll marry into our family with Junyan."

Li Junyan continued, "Uncle, Aunt, let me introduce again: this is my mother. My father has passed away, and this is my stepfather. I took my mother’s surname ’Li’."

Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu nodded, "Oh, I see... Sorry about that..."

Huo Zijin sat down beside Li Junyan.

Li Junyan asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Before Huo Zijin could answer, Rong Ling interjected, "I ran into her on the way. Her car had a minor accident with a woman, and the woman’s family was persistent, so I brought her here."

Li Junyan noticed the marks on her neck and his expression changed slightly, "What happened here?"

Huo Zijin replied, "That man strangled me."

Li Junyan asked, "Who?"

Huo Zijin explained, "The relative of the woman my car scraped against... probably her husband."

She was still in shock at that moment.

She didn’t know if that woman had been taken to the hospital yet.

She was of an older age and pregnant, yet her husband didn’t show any care. When something went wrong and she fell to the ground, the man hassled her instead of sending his wife to the hospital.

That kind of person was so thoughtless.

Huo Zijin said, "I’ve already eaten, but I want to go to the hospital to check on her."

Li Yufei quickly discouraged her, "You shouldn’t be so kind-hearted. If you go, it won’t be easy to leave. The people over there will only hassle you for money and compensation. Just let the insurance company handle it."

Li Junyan agreed, "Yeah."

Huo Zijin added, "But I’m worried about that woman... I saw her fall to the ground..."

After saying this, she sighed, "She suddenly rushed into the road, and I wasn’t paying attention... Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it."

At such a meeting between the two families, she didn’t want to bring up unpleasant matters and dampen the mood.

Li Junyan rubbed her shoulder, comforting her, "Don’t think about it."

It was clear to see she seemed to feel very guilty.

But when driving on the road, minor collisions are unavoidable.

Not to mention, some pedestrians indeed disregard traffic rules.

Strictly speaking, this was a family banquet.

Throughout the meal, the two families had pleasant discussions.

Although the Chu Family lacked the financial resources of the Rong Family, their attitude as their son was getting married was generous.

Even though Rong Xiaoyi politely declined a dowry, the Chu Family still offered to buy a marital home for the couple in full in Beijing, under Rong Xiaoyi’s name.

With his sister getting married, Rong Ling was naturally generous, offering a dowry of a house and car worth nine figures.

After the family banquet ended.

Rong Ling received a call, saying everything had been dealt with.

There was a minor scrape injury, the woman had signs of a threatened miscarriage, and upon reaching the hospital, the doctor suggested terminating the pregnancy, causing the man to start a commotion with the hospital staff.

It was a mess.

In short, it was fortunate that Huo Zijin didn’t go to the hospital.

Otherwise, faced with such a sticky situation, she wouldn’t have easily extricated herself.

Li Junyan accompanied Huo Zijin home.

On the way, Huo Zijin remarked in surprise, "Uncle Rong is amazing. Just by looking, he deduced the man was a gambler."

Li Junyan smiled, "His biological father was a gambler, so he can naturally recognize what a real gambler is like."

He then looked at Huo Zijin, "Do you know how my dad and mom met?"

Huo Zijin asked, "How did they meet?"

Li Junyan recounted, "It was also a car accident. My mom hit my dad. As soon as my mom got out of the car, he demanded hundreds of thousands."

Huo Zijin couldn’t help but gasp, "Really..."
