Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 16 Car Accident
The day's work was finally over. Yang Nianqing took off her apron, and Fan Ruichen stretched. It was his first time doing this kind of work and he was quite tired. Yang Nianqing saw this and pulled Fan Ruichen to sit down, massaging his shoulders. "You must be tired. I told you to rest."

"It's alright, I just wanted to make things easier for you." Fan Ruichen meant it sincerely. He was already quite tired just from helping out, so how much hardship must Yang Nianqing have endured over the years?

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears. "I'm used to it." This was the first time someone had cared about her like this, and it was her boyfriend, the person she might spend her life with.

Fan Ruichen held Yang Nianqing's hand against his cheek. "It's just that it's a habit that makes it so heartbreaking." He had never felt this way before. In just a few days, Fan Ruichen was already emotionally affected by Yang Nianqing. He never thought that one day he would become like this because of someone. He couldn't bear to see her suffer, couldn't bear to see her wronged, couldn't bear to go against her wishes and make her do things she didn't want to do. He became completely unlike himself. But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, the thought of Yang Nianqing leaving him filled him with a violent emotion. In just three days, Fan Ruichen even had wild fantasies about whether they had missed each other in their past lives, so that in this life, he wanted to hold on to her tightly.

Yang Nianqing's face flushed slightly, her eyes darting away, her heart burning with excitement. For the first time in both her lives, she felt a strong emotion, every cell in her body screaming with affection. For the first time, Yang Nianqing was moved by Fan Ruichen, not just touched. Fan Ruichen's tender expression was truly handsome, so handsome that it captivated her. Yang Nianqing couldn't help but give Fan Ruichen a light kiss on the cheek.

Fan Ruichen's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a smile. This was the first time Yang Nianqing had taken the initiative to kiss him.

After leaving, Yang Nianqing's face turned bright red. She stammered to Fan Ruichen that she was going to pack her things. When she got out of Fan Ruichen's sight, Yang Nianqing covered her face with her hands, despising herself. How could she be so bold! She had no self-respect at all. How embarrassing!

Sister Zhang came over and said, "Nianqing, you can go home now and get some rest."

"Oh, okay," Yang Nianqing replied, then suddenly remembered something and called out to Sister Zhang, "Um, Sister Zhang."

"Ok?"

"My younger sister, Qianmei, wants to buy a computer for studying. I don't have much money right now. Could you lend me 3000 yuan? I'll pay you back in a few days." In order not to change the trajectory of her previous life, Yang Nianqing decided to repeat the scene from her previous life. After being reborn, Yang Nianqing hated the Yang family the most. In this life, she would never sympathize with the Yang family. No matter what their fate was, she would definitely sit idly by and do nothing.

Sister Zhang smiled and replied, "Okay." As she spoke, she found her bag, took out three thousand yuan, and handed it to Yang Nianqing.

Yang Nianqing smiled gratefully at Sister Zhang and thanked her. Sister Zhang had always been a good person, and had been very kind to her in her past life as well. Yang Nianqing took out three amulets from her pocket, each wrapped in a protective red cloth. "Sister Zhang, these are amulets I got from the temple. I'm giving them to you, Brother Chen, and Xiao Jian." Yang Nianqing didn't mention that she had drawn them herself; since she hadn't left the Yang family, she didn't want others to know that she knew these things.

Sister Zhang took it and chuckled, "You still believe in this? But thank you so much." Sister Zhang felt quite happy; Yang Nianqing was thinking of them even after going to get a talisman, which was really thoughtful of her.

Yang Nianqing smiled and acquiesced, "Then, Sister Zhang, I'll head home first."

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

Seeing Yang Nianqing leave with her boyfriend, Sister Zhang went to give the amulets to her husband and younger brother, after all, it was their kind gesture.

Fan Ruichen took Yang Nianqing home, and as usual, put his arm around her waist and kissed her before letting go after a long while. "I really didn't want you to go back!"

Yang Nianqing smiled shyly. Seeing her sweet smile, Fan Ruichen felt a little tempted and told her to go back. When Yang Nianqing entered the house, the Yang family was already asleep. Yang Nianqing went to the window and saw Fan Ruichen looking at her just like yesterday. Yang Nianqing waved to Fan Ruichen, signaling him to go back quickly. Fan Ruichen also waved back to Yang Nianqing, and then got into the car that Zhao Yi had driven and left.

Zhao Yi glanced at Fan Ruichen in the rearview mirror and noticed that the young master had reverted to his usual cold and aloof demeanor, completely different from how he acted in front of Miss Yang. Zhao Yi silently wondered if the young master had a split personality. Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Zhao Yi freed one hand to take it out; it was the phone Fan Ruichen had just left with him. Zhao Yi checked the contact and saw it was Qin Lan. He handed the phone to Fan Ruichen, saying, "Young Master, it's Qin Lan."

"Qin Lan? Why is she calling me so late?" Fan Ruichen took the phone and answered it.

"Young Master," Qin Lan said respectfully on the other end of the phone.

"What's up?"

"Young Master Wang has been in a car accident and is now at the First People's Hospital." Fan Ruichen frowned. "I'll be there right away." After saying that, Fan Ruichen hung up the phone and said to Zhao Yi, "Wang He has been in a car accident. Go to the First People's Hospital."

"Okay," Zhao Yi replied, speeding up.

Fan Ruichen and Zhao Yi arrived at the hospital, where Qin Lan was waiting outside the emergency room. "Young Master."

"What happened?" Fan Ruichen asked.

Qin Lan said that when she was returning to her hotel after having a late-night snack, a car accident suddenly occurred not far away. A truck suddenly lost control and crashed into a taxi that was driving normally in the other lane. Qin Lan immediately called the police and an ambulance. When she went to check, the truck driver died on the spot. At this time, Qin Lan saw that the person sitting in the back seat of the taxi was none other than Fan Ruichen's good friend, Wang He. Wang He was already unconscious, and the taxi driver was also unconscious. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly, and Qin Lan also went to the hospital.

Fan Ruichen frowned, puzzled. Wang He had already gone home, so why was he involved in a car accident outside now? At that moment, the emergency room lights went out, and Wang He was wheeled out. Qin Lan went up to ask the doctor about Wang He's condition. The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "He's alright. It's strange, really. The car was completely mangled, the driver was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and the other truck driver died on the spot. He was just knocked unconscious by the impact of the accident. He doesn't have any superficial injuries or concussion. He's really lucky. He'll be transferred to a regular ward now, so you can go see him."

Qin Lan thanked the doctor, who waved and left.

Fan Ruichen looked at Wang He and found that he indeed had no external injuries. "This kid is really lucky."

Qin Lan and Zhao Yi nodded. Of the three people, one was dead and one was seriously injured. He was the only one who didn't even have a scratch. What else could it be but a stroke of luck?

Wang He groaned and slowly opened his eyes, his mind somewhat dazed.

"Wake up."

Wang He turned his head and saw Fan Ruichen sitting next to him. Wang He covered his forehead and asked, "Where am I?"

"Hospital, have you forgotten what happened?"

"The hospital? Oh, I remember I was in a car accident. It was the closest I'd ever been to death. I thought I was going to die."

"You're alright, kid. You're lucky you're not hurt at all."

"Not a scratch? Not even a scratch?" Wang He was a little stunned. He remembered that a huge impact had deformed the car, how could he be completely unharmed? Wang He sat up and found that he indeed felt no discomfort, no pain anywhere. How could this be?
Seeing Wang He's stunned expression, Fan Ruichen was puzzled. "What's wrong? Isn't it good that you're not injured?"

Seeing Fan Ruichen, Wang He suddenly remembered the moment the truck hit him; his pants pocket had felt a warm sensation, as if something had protected him. Wang He immediately reached into his pocket—the amulet was gone. He then touched a powdery substance. Now, only Wang He and Fan Ruichen were in the ward; Zhao Yi and Qin Lan had gone to handle the formalities. Wang He pulled the substance out of his pocket, his pupils contracting sharply. It was some black ash. Wang He recalled Yang Nianqing's words and felt a chill of fear. With a panicked look, he said to Fan Ruichen, "Achen, I almost died!"

"You're not injured right now, so don't overthink it."

"No, look!" Wang He showed the ashes in his hand to Fan Ruichen.

Fan Ruichen frowned: "Why are you showing me some dust? By the way, where did you get this dust from?"

Wang He said with lingering fear and terror, "This is a talisman my sister-in-law gave me." Wang He swallowed nervously.

Fan Ruichen frowned and remained silent. He recalled Yang Nianqing's repeated reminders to Wang He to keep the talisman close to his body when she gave it to him, saying it could save Wang He's life if necessary. Now, the talisman had saved Wang He from a disaster but turned to ashes. Fan Ruichen didn't doubt Wang He's words; Wang He wouldn't joke about something like this. The talisman had truly saved Wang He's life. If someone with ulterior motives knew that Yang Nianqing's talisman had such an effect, Yang Nianqing might be in danger. Fan Ruichen's eyes darkened as he said to Wang He, "Don't tell anyone about this."
