Fu Jingshu nodded slightly. "Correct."
Shen Qingqing's lips twitched. "Mr. Fu, it's not that I'm unwilling to go. This isn't within my purview, and I'm not in charge of this. You should have the public relations department handle it, which would be more appropriate."
She definitely didn't want to be involved in a situation that required compensation, apologies, potential scolding, and was thankless.
The mention of the public relations department made Fu Jingshu's temples throb again. "I said you'll go, so you'll go."
If the public relations department was competent, would he need to send her?
"The injured party is a young girl."
Shen Qingqing froze. She suddenly thought of Xingyao. Her initial reluctance slowly faded. "Alright, I'll go take a look. But since it's a child, regarding compensation..."
"You decide."
Fu Jingshu had plenty of money.
"Okay!"
Shen Qingqing left with the documents as soon as she said she would, heading straight to the hospital. The information listed the little girl's name. Upon inquiring at the hospital, she learned the girl was on the second floor of the inpatient department.
She observed from outside the hospital room. The little girl was lying in bed, with a woman standing beside her, blocking the view of the child's face.
The woman was chattering away, but Shen Qingqing couldn't make out what she was saying.
Unable to hear, she knocked on the door. The woman immediately fell silent and turned around. Seeing Shen Qingqing, dressed in a work uniform and looking capable, efficient, yet strikingly beautiful, she asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Qingqing walked in. "Hello, my surname is Shen. I'm from Fu Corporation, sent to offer our condolences to the injured."
Upon hearing "Fu Corporation," the woman's expression changed instantly. Her smile vanished, and her tone became fiercely aggressive. "You have the nerve to show up? My child went to your amusement park and got injured like this. It's obvious your safety measures are inadequate!"
"You are entirely responsible for this matter!"
Shen Qingqing waited for her to finish before speaking calmly. "Madam, I understand how you feel. Please rest assured, if it's our responsibility, we will definitely compensate you and apologize. We will also cover all the child's expenses. However, I first need to understand the situation."
The woman's voice sharpened. "What do you mean? Do you think we're faking it?"
"That's not what I meant."
"You don't need to say anything else!" the woman exclaimed angrily. "You clearly lack sincerity. We don't need your condolences. I want you to leave right now. I will not let this matter rest!"
Shen Qingqing didn't want to argue with an irrational woman. She looked at the child on the bed. The girl appeared to be about seven or eight years old, with a round face and an adorable appearance.
"Fang Hui, can you tell Auntie how you got injured?"
Fang Hui clutched the blanket with her uninjured hand, glancing timidly at her mother, afraid to speak.
The woman pushed Shen Qingqing. "You know my child is scared after this incident, and you're asking her now. What are your intentions? Get out!"
Shen Qingqing could have easily thrown her off, but as the party in the wrong, she couldn't be too aggressive, or the situation would escalate.
"Madam, please let me explain. I didn't mean it like that, I just..."
The woman didn't listen. She used all her might to push Shen Qingqing out, spewing vulgarities. "I don't care what you mean, get out! You are heartless merchants!"
"Those unreliable safety measures are definitely because you refused to upgrade to better ones to save money. I'm not finished with you regarding this! I will sue you!"
She pushed and shoved Shen Qingqing out of the room, slamming the door shut.
Shen Qingqing didn't leave immediately. She felt something was not quite right with Fang Hui. If she were truly scared, she shouldn't have looked at her mother when questioned, especially with such fearful and timid eyes.
Perhaps... this matter needed further investigation.
She planned to visit the amusement park to see if she could find any clues. As soon as she left, a black car pulled up. The butler got out, holding Shen Jinxi.
The little boy's hand was bleeding. He was pale with pain but bravely tried not to cry, though his eyes were red-rimmed.
The butler sighed. "My young master, how will I explain this to your father if you're injured like this?"
"I just wanted to cut watermelon for Daddy..."
Shen Jinxi was truly in pain. Watermelons had been brought to the villa that day, and the weather was hot. He volunteered to cut a watermelon for his father to chill.
He figured his father could eat chilled watermelon when he returned.
He thought he was being very sensible and considerate.
Who knew the knife wouldn't cooperate? The watermelon was cut, but his little hand was also cut. The pain made his vision blur.
The butler said no more and hurried into the hospital.
Children have tender skin, and the knife was sharp. The wound wasn't large, but it was deep, and there was a significant amount of bleeding. The doctor recommended hospitalization for observation.
Thus, Shen Jinxi was admitted to a hospital room by the butler.
As he entered, he saw a little girl lying on a hospital bed. She looked lonely, with no adults by her side. The butler had gone out to buy him food.
He struck up a conversation with the girl. "Why are you here alone? Where are your family?"
The girl looked at him and found him delicate and handsome, like... like a prince from a fairy tale. She bravely replied, "Mommy went out to eat."
"Oh, where did you get hurt?"
The girl looked at her arm. "My left hand. It was scratched."
Shen Jinxi noticed the coincidence. He raised his left hand. "See? We both injured our left hands. But I was injured accidentally while undertaking a very important task. What about you?"
"I was scratched while playing at the water park."
"Then you must have gone to a small water park. Why didn't you go to Chenxi Water Park? It's excellent there, with really great safety measures!"
Shen Jinxi knew Chenxi Water Park was an establishment owned by his "cheap" father, so he naturally recommended it wholeheartedly.
The little girl blinked. Her voice was very soft. "I was injured there..."
"How is that possible?"
Shen Jinxi didn't believe her. He noticed the girl's quiet voice and evasive demeanor. This clearly indicated something was amiss. His eyes darted around, and an idea struck him.
He glanced at the label on the bedside table. "So your name is Fang Hui. Hello, my name is Shen... Chenchen."
He almost slipped up!
Fang Hui nodded and said softly, "Hello."
Shen Jinxi leaned closer, nudging his little face towards her. "Fang Hui, tell me the truth. Were you really injured at the water park?"
Fang Hui's eyes darted away. "Yes..."
Shen Jinxi sighed mournfully, his delicate face darkening. "I was going to go to the water park to play, but if my mommy knew someone got injured there, she definitely wouldn't agree."
He looked so sad. Fang Hui felt a little sorry for the little boy's disappointment. She glanced towards the door; her mother hadn't returned. After much internal struggle, she whispered,
"You can go play. It doesn't matter."
"But I'm scared." Shen Jinxi's acting skills were top-notch; he conveyed fear and disappointment very realistically.
Fang Hui, anxious, blurted out, "Actually, it was just a small scratch at first. My mother used a fruit knife to cut my wound again, which is why I..."
