Chapter 963: Chapter 936: Rich, Foolish, and Slow-Witted
After a period of chaotic swings, Bai Jin finally found her rhythm, and from the look on Qiuqiu’s face, she also found some confidence.
"Qiuqiu, wasn’t my shot this time really—ah!"
Bai Jin hit what she considered a perfect shot, though still ridiculously off course, it was much better than her previous attempts.
Qiuqiu felt relieved that he finally didn’t have to shout "fore," but just as there was quiet here, some careless guy ran over from the other side. While others were playing, he insisted on running into the fairway. Bai Jin’s shots at holes might be off, but hitting people, she was spot on.
Without seeing clearly what happened, Qiuqiu just saw Bai Jin hit the person to the ground.
Things happened so quickly. His attention had been on Bai Jin, and they had been exchanging sweet glances, as if ready to break through to the next level any minute.
Yu Minglang and Dao Dao were chatting and didn’t look this way, after all, Bai Jin’s shots were notoriously bad, and there weren’t many idiots running onto fairways. Who could have thought these two unlikely events would happen simultaneously?
By the time everyone realized something was wrong, the person was already downed by the ball.
"Oh no!" Bai Jin, scared, tossed her club and ran over quickly, Liumei witnessed the whole thing and covered her mouth in shock.
Everyone in the rest area stood up—except for Fugui.
"Did you see where it hit?" Xiaoqiang asked Liumei while running over.
"On the calf. From my years of martial arts training, I’d say the vital areas were avoided. Could this be what’s known as the legendary ’slash people with one stroke’?" Liumei, for some inexplicable reason, said all this, as if a nerve misfired.
Yu Minglang and Dao Dao both paused, and as Dao Dao ran, he glanced at Xiaoqiang, meaning: Your sister’s thought process is quite mysterious.
"No worries, she got married, the unlucky one is the guy in the wheelchair over there." Xiaoqiang, obviously a genius, analyzed in this short time based on ball speed and the hit location, that the unlucky fellow should be fine.
At this ball speed and distance, it’ll definitely swell into a big bump and hurt for a few days, but fractures are unlikely.
Yu Minglang and Dao Dao ran over first, and asked the person on the ground concernedly, "Are you okay? We’ll call a doctor right away."
"Huh? It’s you?"
When Yu Minglang turned around, the person had already fallen. Running closer, he realized this was Qiuqiu’s dad.
Just yesterday, Qiuqiu’s dad was carrying things, wanting to find Xiaoqian to solve some issues, but Xiaoqian had dodged him. Was today’s appearance at the golf course a coincidence or a premeditated encounter?
"How is he? I’ll call a doctor, sorry I just—huh? It’s you?" Bai Jin also ran over and was stunned to see Qiuqiu’s dad on the ground.
Qiuqiu also came over and, seeing it was his dad, his expression changed. Seeing the old man’s painful demeanor, he immediately crouched to check, "Where did it hit?"
"On the calf... I was just trying to run towards you, but then I seemed to hear a loud noise, and I just fell..." Qiuqiu’s dad was grimacing in pain. The loud noise he mentioned was actually the sound of the ball hitting his leg at high speed, resonating through his bones like a gunshot.
The foreigners who came with Qiuqiu were discussing the incident.
Xiaoqian and her group came over. Qiuqiu’s dad tried to stand despite the pain, only to be pressed down immediately by Qiuqiu.
"Stay put, let me check if your leg is okay."
Standing at the side and at a total loss, Bai Jin watched Qiuqiu nervously.
"No... this business deal is very important... help me up..."
"You could be dying, and you’re still thinking about business! Stay put!" The usually gentle Qiuqiu said harsh words, sounding incredibly manly in that moment.
"I’m sorry, Qiuqiu, I really didn’t notice someone there just now." Bai Jin apologized repeatedly.
"This isn’t your fault. Who told him he couldn’t use his eyes? Old man, I’ve told you before, reading more books is really beneficial. You’ve made so much money, why not improve yourself? You know to cater to foreigners’ preferences by bringing them to a golf course, so why not know not to run onto the fairway? Look at you, you fully embody the characteristics of a nouveau riche in our country: rich, stupid, and ignorant!"
Qiuqiu’s dad was sweating coldly from the pain, his face turning pale from Qiuqiu’s ridicule.
Coming here this time, besides seeking out the renowned domestic female psychologist, Chen Xiaoqian, for his son, Qiuqiu’s dad also intended to discuss a business deal with foreign clients. These foreigners were a consortium from abroad, and since he couldn’t meet them at home, Qiuqiu’s dad thought of hitting it off locally in Q City, knowing foreigners like golfing, going through great lengths to arrange a meet.
Seeing Qiuqiu, he got too excited and ran haphazardly, leading to this mishap.
Usually, he would argue with Qiuqiu, but now all he could do was hold on and pretend not to hear the sarcasm in Qiuqiu’s words, trying hard to sit up.
"Mr. Xiao, how should we explain to the clients?" The translator who followed glanced at the murmuring foreigners and whispered to Qiuqiu’s dad.
"Tell them I’m fine, stand up and keep going. Definitely don’t spoil the mood. It’s just a minor bruise, no big deal! Our people are the strongest and most enduring, choosing us as partners is the right choice!" Qiuqiu’s dad feigned nonchalance.
Qiuqiu’s anger was visibly pulsing.
"Are you showing off, old man? Forget your stupid business, come see a doctor with me!"
In his urgency, he forgot basic manners, speaking as crudely as possible.
"We’ll discuss your issue later. This deal is crucial for our family."
"×!" Qiuqiu cursed softly.
Seeing the father and son about to fight, Xiaoqian weighed the pros and cons and directly went over to chatter with the foreigners effusively.
"What’s Mr. Chen saying?" After finding out Xiaoqian was a psychologist, Qiuqiu’s dad clearly became more respectful towards her.
A self-made, uneducated tycoon, he held particular reverence for intellectuals.
"I told you to gain more knowledge, see how you’re failing at critical moments!" Qiuqiu seized every chance to mock his dad.
"She said, Qiuqiu is your son, this is just a little unexpected encounter between father and son..." Bai Jin translated as Xiaoqian spoke, catching Qiuqiu’s dad’s gaze more.
The girl who seemed the most normal had claimed she was a lesbian?
What a pity. Being able to understand foreign languages must mean high education, how is she not normal?
Unaware of Qiuqiu’s dad’s inner conflict at that moment, Bai Jin continued listening intently to Qian chatting with the clients. True to her reputation as Qian, she easily found a conversational entry point, preventing the atmosphere from cooling down.
Meanwhile, the medical team had arrived. Qiuqiu stepped aside to let them check his father’s injury. The young girl who came was probably a rookie, her movements very awkward, causing Qiuqiu’s dad to grimace in pain. Unable to watch anymore, Qiuqiu pushed her aside and tended to his father’s leg injury himself.
The foreigners exchanged a few words with Xiaoqian, then upon seeing this scene, nodded, and said a sequence.
"Qian says this is just a small unexpected encounter between father and son, not to disturb today’s enjoyment. If it’s okay, she could accompany you for a few rounds, while inviting uncle to rest over there." Bai Jin diligently translated.
