CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 631: MIND YOUR DRIVING, STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS

The doctor jogged into the ward and after a round of examinations, he confirmed that Gu Yingying, aside from a severe concussion, had no other complications. The department head finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though she herself was careless and fell downstairs, it happened at the school, so if things had taken a turn for the worse, it would have been difficult to explain.

However, the severe concussion is no joking matter. Gu Yingying has been feeling unwell ever since she woke up. The doctor explained, "After a severe injury, consciousness disorders can occur. Most people recover within a few hours, but some might continue for several days; it varies from person to person."

Seeing that there’s nothing serious, the department head bid farewell to Gu Yingying’s parents, ready to lead others away.

Gu Hongrui, upon hearing his daughter was not in danger, finally had the inclination to chat with others, "Thank you so much for today. Once Yingying’s health has improved, I will have her thank you in person."

The department head waved his hand, "It’s all within the school faculty; no need for thanks. I hope Gu Yingying recovers soon, we’ll take our leave now."

Xinyan saw the department head clearly about to leave but hesitated to say something. She immediately understood and handed over the payment slip tactfully, "Teacher, this is the payment receipt from earlier."

Gu Hongrui slapped his forehead, "Sorry, sorry, I got flustered."

As he said this, he accepted the receipt, and after looking at the payment amount, he directly opened his briefcase to count the money, taking twenty yuan more than the payment amount, "I’ve taken up a lot of your time, this extra is for a meal."

The department head certainly wouldn’t accept it, knowing that this person had quite a background, "I’ll take the money that was fronted, but there’s no need for a meal; we’re all at the same school, no need to be so formal."

Afterwards, a bit of back and forth ensued with the department head firmly refusing the extra money, and Gu Hongrui finally gave up.

When they returned to school, it was already late, so Xinyan didn’t head to the classroom but prepared to go directly to the teacher’s place.

Unexpectedly, she had just left the school gates and heard someone shout, "Sister-in-law."

Xinyan looked over at the sound and saw Qin Peiyi driving over, "Brother Qin."

Qin Peiyi smiled at her, "Are you heading back? Do you need a ride?"

Xinyan quickly waved her hand, "No need, it’s just a few steps."

Qin Peiyi merely stopped to greet her upon seeing her, "Sister-in-law, find a day when both you and Jinxuan are free and come to my house, get familiar with the place, and let’s have a meal together."

Xinyan thought he was just being polite but was surprised when Qin Peiyi continued, "You must come, my wife has mentioned several times that she wants to meet you."

Xinyan replied with a smile, "Okay, I will speak with Jinxuan."

Qin Peiyi smiled, "I’ve called Jinxuan a few days ago, and he said after finishing up this busy period, he’d bring you over. I’ll call him again."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Qin Peiyi drove off.

Once the car drove off, the driver asked, "Bro, is she your comrade He Jinxuan’s partner?"

Qin Peiyi responded with a light "Hmm".

The driver continued, "Why does my sister-in-law want to meet her?"

Qin Peiyi looked at the person in front unhappily, "Drive properly, don’t ask about other things."

He certainly wouldn’t tell this silly cousin the truth; with his mouth, he feared that as soon as he said a word, the whole world would hear about it.
