After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 76 Cleaning Up the Mess
Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Cleaning Up the Mess freēnovelkiss.com
Shi Yaoguang, feeling guilty about the peach blossom jade clasp, was also noticed by Quan Sicheng.
As soon as he saw her, his face turned cold, "Why are you here?"
"You think I wanted to come?"
Shi Yaoguang rudely rolled her eyes at him before turning to look at the bar owner.
"Where’s the person he hit?"
The bar owner nervously extended a finger, pointing towards the direction of the private room upstairs.
Shi Yaoguang frowned subconsciously, "Why didn’t he go to the hospital?"
"The injured young master’s relatives just happened to be nearby, and they had a private doctor with them."
Once the bar owner explained, Shi Yaoguang understood.
Having a private doctor on hand to check on-site was indeed more convenient than going to a hospital.
It was just unclear how that person was doing.
The bar owner wasn’t clear on the situation either, and at this moment, he was filled with trepidation.
He ran a bar, conducting a modest business.
But today’s commotion was truly a headache.
Quan Sicheng saw that Shi Yaoguang was only talking to the bar owner and was ignoring him, showing an unhappy expression.
"Shi Yaoguang!"
Shi Yaoguang gave him a cold glance, "Do I need to remind you how many times?"
Quan Sicheng met her icy stare and subconsciously felt guilty.
After hesitating for some time, he still called out that name, "...Mom."
"Ah, troublesome son."
Shi Yaoguang casually responded, then prepared to go upstairs.
Quan Sicheng was taken aback when he saw this, "Where are you going?"
"To clean up your mess," Shi Yaoguang said without turning her head.
Quan Sicheng also wanted to follow, but he was stopped by two burly men.
Unable to struggle free from them, he could only obediently stay put.
Second-floor private room.
When the bar owner brought Shi Yaoguang there, the room was filled with a heavy oppressive atmosphere.
On a simply elegant bamboo bed, there lay a young man with blood seeping from his forehead.
The young man’s face was pale, his breathing weak, and the situation looked very serious.
By the window, there stood a man in his mid-twenties with thick eyebrows and large eyes, his posture straight and tall, resembling a robust pine tree, his eyebrows tightly knit, his eyes reflecting concern, and exuding a terrifying aura.
"Eldest young master, Xiaojue’s head injury is too severe. Although I can ensure it won’t be fatal, his constitution is quite special..." the private doctor reported to the man, "Even if he survives, he’s likely to suffer severe consequences..."
Upon hearing this, the man’s aura grew even colder, and Shi Yaoguang’s expression also darkened on hearing these words.
"Who are you?"
The man called ’eldest young master’, his gloomy gaze sweeping over the bar owner, finally resting on Shi Yaoguang.
Without waiting for Shi Yaoguang to answer, the bar owner eagerly reported her identity for her, "This is Mrs. Quan, the... mother of young master Quan."
After hearing this, the man looked at Shi Yaoguang with a strange gaze, "Mrs. Quan? She’s not even of age, right?"
Shi Yaoguang remained composed, stood up straight, and looked him directly in the eyes, "I am of age, sir. Feel free to suggest how you’d like to resolve this matter."
"How to resolve it?" The man’s face suddenly darkened, "Your son hit my brother, causing him to suffer future consequences. You tell me, how should we resolve this?"
Shi Yaoguang remained silent.
The man’s face turned even colder, "Injuring my brother, even if it’s the Quan family, don’t expect to get off easily."
"My brother’s life cannot be compensated with mere cheap money or any other condition!"
Shi Yaoguang nodded in agreement, "Sir, what you say makes sense."
Seeing this, the man let out a scornful laugh, "Since you think it makes sense, why don’t you tell me, how do you plan to compensate?"
Shi Yaoguang did not respond to his question but instead looked at the pale-faced young man on the bamboo bed, "May I first take a look at your brother’s injuries?"
The man did not answer immediately but turned to look at the private doctor.
The private doctor, hesitating, nodded.
Shi Yaoguang met her gaze for a moment and then moved past the private doctor to sit by the edge of the bamboo bed.
The young man had a bloody gash on his forehead, and although the bleeding had been stopped, the large patch of blood on his fair skin was still a shocking sight to see.
With just a glance, Shi Yaoguang was able to determine his condition.
Facing this situation, she only had one thing to say.
That was...
Unlucky.
Logically speaking, there are cases where people, drunk, smash their heads with bottles and do not usually hit a vital spot.
Unless someone is aiming deliberately, but... Quan Sicheng shouldn’t be that foolish.
Which means that Quan Sicheng truly did it by accident, inadvertently striking the vital nerves in the young man’s head.
Resulting in the possibility that the shadow of this incident might loom over him for the rest of his life.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but sigh.
It was also her bad luck, having to clean up such a mess for Quan Sicheng.
The bar owner watched all her actions, and when he saw her look up, he felt a sense of dread, "Mrs. Quan, how is the situation?" Surely the young master isn’t beyond help, right?
The latter half of his question, he dared not voice it out loud, but his expression was clear enough.
Shi Yaoguang shook her head and explained, "I happen to have some top-grade Healing Medicine with me, which should make him better."
The man’s eyes darkened slightly as he uttered two words with a full pressuring tone, "Should?"
Shi Yaoguang looked at the private doctor, "You said earlier that his constitution is special, likely allergic to certain medications, right?"
The private doctor nodded, indeed that was the case.
If it weren’t for this concern, the young man’s chances of recovery would be higher.
Seeing this, the man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Are you sure your medicine won’t cause any side effects for my brother?"
"Theoretically, that is the case," Shi Yaoguang wasn’t sure what allergies her brother had.
She took out the medicine that could heal the young man and handed it to the private doctor.
The private doctor saw her take out a white jade porcelain bottle, her eyes flashing, "What is this?"
"Healing Medicine," Shi Yaoguang didn’t elaborate but urged her, "You should have a way to test the ingredients, right? As long as you confirm he isn’t allergic to these, you can use it. The faster, the better."
The private doctor looked at the man for approval, and seeing no objection, arranged the test.
Watching the private doctor leave, the man’s gaze fell back on Shi Yaoguang.
His tone was still far from friendly, "If anything happens to my brother, I won’t let you off the hook."
Shi Yaoguang understood, "I know."
The man tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Even if the medicine you brought out can cure my brother, I won’t be grateful to you for it."
Shi Yaoguang nodded again, "I understand."
Seeing her like this, the man was somewhat surprised, "Don’t you have anything to say?"
"I do."
Shi Yaoguang’s gaze met his steadily, her tone firm and strong, "Let’s stick to the facts. Right and wrong, responsibility and accountability should be determined as they ought to be."
