Misfortune is Always Around the Corner (Part 3)

It was Wednesday. Tian Jingzhi, donned with a mask and sunglasses, was being pushed on a wheelchair by four nurses under the instruction of the head nurse.  

“I don’t want the reporters to take a picture of me like this.”

With her never-changing, business-like smile, the head nurse replied, “Do not worry, our hospital is known for our confidentiality policies.”

As soon as Miss Tian was pushed out of the door, she was almost blinded by flashing lights from all directions.

Wow~ They did a great job at keeping her confidentiality!!!

The reporters thought they would be able to take pictures of her disfigured, or missing an arm or an leg. But Tian Jingzhi was just in a wheelchair, although her face was pale, she had gained some weight. As if she became more beautiful after the car accident. Who wants to see a glow-up?! The reporters collectively want to smash their cameras in frustration.

“Miss Tian, where did the accident impact you the most?”

“...The heart, I am more prone to rapid heartbeats. Sometimes I can hear it loud and clearly.”

"Excuse me, Miss Tian, the day of the car accident was the day your boyfriend rejected your marriage proposal. Do you hate him now?"

"The heavens gave me a second life, I will not waste my second life on resenting others. Love should not be one’s only priority."

"Miss Tian, the man who called the police said that a perverted fan kissed you when you were in a coma at the scene of the car accident. What do you want to say about this?"

Something like that happened?! How come no one had told her about it?

Tian Jingzhi was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. Provocatively extending her little finger towards the camera, she said: "Kiss me again if you can."

“Is there anything Miss Tian wants to say to your fans?”

Tian Jingzhi pondered for a while, and said seriously: “Traffic accidents can treat nearsightedness and gastric ulcers.”

Everyone looked at each other for a long time before laughing all at once, "Miss Tian really knows how to joke, hahahaha."

The reporters just wanted to take pictures of her scarred or depressed face. No one wanted to listen to her talk nonsense; fast heart rates, no one cares! Now that she has just been discharged from the hospital, they could not ask in detail about the rejected marriage proposal, else they would be scolded to death by netizens. The reporters had come in vain and could only ask a few questions about her physical condition. After a few pleasantries and blessings of her well-being, they lost interest in pursuing any more topics.



The first thing Tian Jingzhi did when she went home was ask her mother, Ms. Qiu Meiyun, why did she not tell her about the perverted fan who kissed her when she was unconscious? That was her first kiss that she had saved all of her twenty-eight years. And a pervert just took it from her! Thinking of it made her heart hurt… did someone not call the police on him?  

Ms. Qiu Meiyun finally understood something, "Huh?! You’ve had seven boyfriends, but still have your first kiss? So that’s the reason you get dumped every time."

"I am a principled person! After three months of dating, we can start holding hands. After six months of dating, then we can start kissing. A man who can't last even six months, then what is the point? My chastity is going to be saved for my future husband. I don't want to be like you: getting pregnant out of wedlock and then getting kicked out by your own mother after she severed her relationship with you.”

From where era did this person transmigrate from? Ms. Qiu Meiyun shook her head, too lazy to waste any more time with her. She hurriedly pushed her daughter into the bathroom urging her to take a bath with grapefruit leaves to wash away her bad luck.

“No need. After such a major accident, I didn't even break a bone. What’s the use of grapefruit water?”

“That just means you have longevity, but that does not mean you are not unlucky. Unlucky enough that no one wants to marry you. Unlucky enough to get hit by a truck.”

Her father, Mr. Tian, was also there and he quickly added, "That's right, and because of your bad luck, you got kissed by a pervert."

Tian Jingzhi screamed and knocked her forehead against the wall, "Why didn’t I get amnesia?! Why didn’t I get amnesia?!"

Mr. Tian touched his daughter's head regretfully: "Because the amnesia scenes are not arranged for the second female lead."

Rumors outside had it that Tian Jingzhi stayed in the hospital for more than a month due to a coma, but that was not true. She just refused to leave. The Intensive Care Unit at St Maria Hospital was very hospitable. Good food, good Wi-Fi, and endless fruit baskets in the hallway. In addition to immediate family members, other people are not allowed to visit. All the information about her on the Internet was about the car accident, even though there were a few discordant voices about her proposal being rejected, they were all drowned out by the kind comments of others.

Even Ms. Qiu Meiyun, who was the most difficult to deal with, didn't inquire about it. In short, it was a blessing in disguise, so she obediently went to soak the grapefruit leaf bath.

It was like a breath of fresh air while sitting in the bath. Tian Jingzhi was almost brought to tears as other than sleeping and studying, since childhood, was used to hone her self survival skills. 

This was what life should be. The previous years she had lived were more inferior than a pig in a slaughterhouse. 

While basking in the sun, Tian Jingzhi softly flipped through a pile of newspapers and letters that her father brought from her mailbox. She was thinking of taking the next two months off, it was not like she lacked her salary for the next two...months...she widened her eyes, almost burning a hole in the bill.

After a pause, she jumped up, crying and rushing downstairs: "Dad, Daddy! Hurry up and call the police! Something big happened! My two credit cards were maxed out!"

Mr. Tian was holding a spoon and with his back still towards her, replied, “Oh, I used it. It was for your hospital bills. And even if your car was scrapped, you still have to pay your monthly car payment. And because you did not apply for car insurance yet, you can not file any claims for reimbursement. And your mortgage payment is also paid this month. The bill is on the fridge, you can go check it.”

“Wasn’t my hospital bill paid by that transportation company?” Otherwise, how could she have stayed so long in St Maria Hospital!

"Seeing you so happy, I couldn’t bear to tell you that the owner of the transportation company had run away. They seemed to have lost a shipment item, and even all of their assets combined, they could not pay for the loss."

Tian Jingzhi pointed at his nose in shock, "So you knew from the beginning that I was using my own money to pay for my stay? They charge tens of thousands of dollars per day!"

Despite his age, Mr. Tian still had a bright and innocent smile as he made a victory gesture while nodding and said: "Yes, although it was a total waste of money, you were spending your own money. This dad is a very democratic and reasonable adult, right?"

Tian Jingzhi now wished her father was a very stingy and domineering man, at least then she would be in such a serious economic crisis.

“Little girl, we’re about to have dinner, why are you leaving now?”

“Going back to my house to organize and then getting ready to make money!”
