Chapter 5: An Unexpected Collision

  The semester is almost over, but this English book is still brand new. Before rebirth, Jiang Xu basically didn't flip through any textbooks from junior high to high school. All the textbooks were locked in the drawer of his desk, and he came to school just to muddle along.

  Just flipping through a few pages, Jiang Xu felt a bit dizzy.

  If these English words are separated into individual characters, he can recognize them, but when they are combined together, he can hardly understand a few of them.

  However, these were not enough to stump Jiang Xu.

  After merging all the soul memories in the Emperor's Soul Pearl, Jiang Xiu's brain thinking has far exceeded that of ordinary people, and his memory has also improved a lot, to the point where it can be described as "remembering everything at a glance".

  Although he couldn't understand those English words, but as long as he took a glance at them, almost all the words he could clearly remember in his mind, and very deeply.

  Such an amazing memory, it can absolutely greatly improve Jiang Xu's learning speed.

  Of course, he also needs to find a breakthrough in his studies.

  "It seems I should get a tutor, it would probably save time."

  Jiang Xuhui thought to himself, he didn't want to waste too much time groping and self-studying alone, because apart from language, the other subjects probably needed to be learned from scratch, asking for a tutor would definitely speed up his learning.

  At this point, Zou Rong's slender and elegant figure full of spirit appeared in Jiang Xu's mind.

  If Jiang Xu didn't remember wrongly, Zou Rong seemed to have a part-time tutoring job. Her family was not well off and she would often go for part-time tutoring jobs to earn some money to supplement her family's expenses.

  It's just that, given Zou Rong's degree of disgust towards Jiang Xu, this possibility is almost zero. Fortunately, Jiang Xu has many options, and at worst, he can directly go find his father's secretary Du Feng. Du Feng is a high-achieving graduate from Peking University, and these high school courses are just a piece of cake for him.

  ▂▂▂▂▂▂

  Jiang Xu spent the entire morning reading, whether it was English, politics or chemistry, regardless of whether he understood it or not, Jiang Xu memorized all the content in his head and would digest it slowly when he had time.

  After school was dismissed at noon, Jiang Xu drove away from the school.

  Jiang Xu plans to go to the bookstore to buy some books for studying, basically like physics and chemistry classes, as long as he supplements his foundation, it's still relatively easy to study on his own.

  It was just that Jiang Xiu didn't expect that on his way to the bookstore, something unexpected happened.

  His car turned a corner when a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the corner, Jiang Xue stepped on the brakes at the first time, but still collided heavily with the black shadow.

  Bang

  A loud crash sounded, and the black shadow heavily crashed onto the hood of the car before falling to the ground.

  This sudden car accident made Jiang Xiu's expression slightly stunned, but there was no panic on his face. If he wasn't mistaken, the black shadow was rushing towards the car.

  "Fake injury!"

  Jiang Xuhui's heart skipped a beat as he basically already knew what had happened.

  Then, Jiang Xu directly opened the car door and walked out, regardless of whether it was a collision or not, he had hit someone after all, and he should take a look at the other person's injuries.

  When he arrived at the car, Jiang Xiu saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground with his legs wrapped around him, his eyes tightly closed, and a red swelling on his forehead, apparently injured when he hit the hood just now.

  The middle-aged man's attire was very simple, and he still wore the old-fashioned liberation shoes on his feet. His facial features also looked like a loyal and honest type, which made Jiang Xu unable to help but doubt whether his own speculation was wrong.

  Just then, a middle-aged woman rushed over crying and shouting from beside.

  "Dazhu, what's wrong with you? Dazhu, don't scare me..."

  Ran to the side of the middle-aged man, the middle-aged woman's tears were already flowing non-stop, making people feel heart-wrenching.

  However, Jiang Xu had noticed some unusual places.

  Tense, yes it's tense.

  With his keen observational skills, Jiang Xiu was able to clearly capture the tense expressions on the middle-aged couple's faces, especially the woman. Her crying was indeed heart-wrenching, but her acting skills were somewhat lacking, giving off an extremely unnatural feeling.

  Moreover, the most important place for a middle-aged man to get injured should be his head and thighs that were hit by the insurance rod. However, under tension, this middle-aged man was holding onto his calf and lying on the ground pretending to be injured.

  "Auntie, I'm sorry. It was my fault for not paying attention while driving. Why don't I take him to the hospital first? Don't worry, I'll be responsible for all his medical expenses."

  Even if he was already certain in his heart that the middle-aged couple were here to scam him, Jiang Xu was still very polite, mainly because this middle-aged couple didn't look like those cunning scammers at all, otherwise they wouldn't be so nervous.

  "No... no need to go to the hospital, just accompany Qian and that's enough." The middle-aged woman was apparently doing this for the first time, and under tension, her words were also somewhat tense.

  Jiang Xu was also straightforward, he directly took out twenty red hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to the middle-aged woman, saying: "Auntie, I only have two thousand yuan on me now, see if it's enough, if not, I'll go get some more."

  Jiang Xu's car wasn't going very fast just now, so why did it crash so heavily? In fact, it was that middle-aged man who rushed over and crashed into the car. Even so, the middle-aged man's injuries aren't serious, even if he goes to the hospital, it won't cost much money, at most a few hundred yuan.

  Jiang Xu can take out 2,000 yuan, which is already very generous. If this middle-aged woman still wants to ask for more, then he will have to adopt another approach. At that time, these two people may not even get a single cent.

  The middle-aged woman apparently wasn't greedy, looking at the twenty red hundred-yuan bills, her eyes clearly flashed with surprise and excitement, after taking the money, she said repeatedly: "Little brother, it's enough, it's enough, don't take out any more."

  The middle-aged man also secretly opened his eyes, took a glance at the twenty banknotes, and then quickly closed them again with a guilty conscience.

  All of this was seen by Jiang Xue, who took out the money but didn't want to encourage such bad behavior. He said bluntly: "Auntie, Uncle's injury is not serious, you can just buy some medicinal wine and have him rub it on, also, you'd best not do such dangerous things again, this is a crime, do you know that?"

  In the end, Jiang Xu's tone gradually became severe, and that intangible imperial aura reappeared.

  How could the middle-aged woman bear such a majestic dragon's might, her whole spirit was intimidated by Jiang Xue's aura, and she replied in extreme fear: "L...little brother, I...I won't dare to do it again, here...here is your money back."

  This is tantamount to admitting to faking an injury.

  "No need for that, consider this money as me buying some supplements for uncle."

  Jiang Xu didn't plan on taking back the money, after waving his hand, he planned to turn around and leave.

  But just then, a panicked scream suddenly rang out from afar, and then, a girl in a white dress pushed her bicycle away with one hand and rushed towards Jiang Xiang like crazy.

  That girl was actually Zou Rong.

  "Dad..."

  Zou Rong rushed over frantically, tears streaming down her face like a string of pearls that had been suddenly cut.

  "Xiao Rong!"

  The middle-aged couple obviously didn't expect Zou Rong to appear here at this time, and their faces suddenly turned extremely panicked. The middle-aged man couldn't even bother to pretend to be injured anymore, but his thigh was indeed hit once, wanting to climb up but unable to do so.

  Jiang Xuzhen was directly stunned, he never thought in his dreams that this middle-aged couple would be Zou Rong's parents.

  That middle-aged man's name is Zou Dazhu, he was originally a honest and down-to-earth porter, but unfortunately an injury damaged the nerve tissue in his right hand, now he can't exert any strength, and can only do some small jobs to make money.

  A middle-aged woman named Su Mei is a sanitation worker.

  Sumi was very beautiful when she was young, but due to poor family circumstances, she started working after giving birth to Zou Rong, and as a result, she fell ill with postpartum complications. Over the years, her body gradually became bloated, and she had completely changed beyond recognition.

  Zou Rong rushed to Zou Dazhu's side almost immediately, looking at her father lying on the ground, she asked in a choked voice: "Dad, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"

  Seeing his daughter's worried look, Zou Dazhu hastily said: "Good girl, I...I'm fine, don't worry."

  The porcelain collision had already been seen through by Jiang Xu, so Zou Dazhu couldn't pretend anymore. His body was indeed not seriously injured, and after applying some medicinal wine and resting for two days, he would basically be fine.

  However, Zou Rong thought her father was fooling her. She saw the red and swollen spot on his forehead, and a fit of rage burst out uncontrollably.

  "Jiang Xu, was it you who knocked down my father?"

  Zou Rong's gaze was fiercely directed at Jiang Xu, and in this moment, she had already forgotten Jiang Xu's identity. Her tone was filled with endless anger.

  Jiang Xu didn't say anything, he bumped into Zou Dazhu, that's a fact.

  Seeing Jiang Xu's silence, Zou Rong immediately shifted her gaze to the twenty 100-yuan bills in her mother's hand. She snatched them over and slapped the money directly onto Jiang Xu's face, crying: "Are you so proud of having money? I don't want your filthy money! Get out! I don't want to see you again! Get out!"

  Jiang Xu knew that this misunderstanding was probably quite deep, but he didn't go to explain anything because Zou Rong's emotions had already gotten out of control. At this time, no matter how he explained it would be useless.

  So Jiang Xu directly turned around and drove away.
