"Isn’t this just extortion?" Nanny Wu looked angrily at the driver, "We didn’t even touch them, it’s normal driving, isn’t this bullying too much?"
"It’s my fault for not being careful just now, madam..."
"Lawyer, call Lawyer Shen quickly," Yuan Min took a deep breath and interrupted.
The driver frowned, "Yes, madam."
In a tight spot, the bold prevail, and the driver of the business van was staring coldly at the sedan right now.
Heh, serves them right, daring to threaten the dean!
Just now, Wang Junchen had already sent people to the orphanage, partly to soothe Dean Chen and partly to prepare for the installation of surveillance cameras in every corner of the orphanage, as well as the most advanced alarm system.
Additionally, several well-trained mercenaries were also en route to the orphanage.
To clean up and watch the door, stuff like that.
After Lawyer Shen received the call, he immediately started negotiations with a lawyer with the surname Fang, who was associated with Wang Junchen.
"Double compensation is completely illogical."
However, Lawyer Fang’s voice was very strong, "Mr. Wang is a well-known figure in Huang City, and his time is very precious. This accident has caused him great inconvenience and seriously affected his mood."
Lawyer Shen pondered for a moment, responding with neither servility nor arrogance, "I fully understand Mr. Wang’s feelings and I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by this accident. But we were also driving normally and are willing to offer ten thousand yuan for emotional compensation."
Lawyer Fang didn’t reply immediately. He put down the phone and turned to look at Jiangbei, only to see Jiangbei shaking his head coldly and continuing to scroll through the trending searches.
Each one was about the fire at Bo’ai.
Understanding the signal, Lawyer Fang picked up his phone again, "Ten thousand yuan to make amends? It was your car that suddenly darted out, causing our brand-new car to swerve to avoid collision. Double the compensation is the least we can do."
So they’re not willing to negotiate?
Lawyer Shen thought this, her heart tightening suddenly, but still she kept her cool.
"I completely understand your feelings, but we request an investigation first. If it is indeed our responsibility, we will bear the corresponding compensation. But if the liability for the accident is not ours, we will not accept any unreasonable demands."
Lawyer Fang raised an eyebrow, "If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to talk about; let’s meet in court."
Lawyer Shen: "..." The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net
"Wait, I need to consult."
Lawyer Shen hung up and immediately reported to Yuan Min on the negotiation with Lawyer Fang.
Every detail was recounted without omission.
In the end, after much deliberation, Yuan Min chose to compromise, agreeing to double the compensation for Wang Junchen.
Although she felt somewhat unwilling, she was clear that the most important thing now was to leave this place as soon as possible so as not to complicate matters further.
Luckily it was the suburbs, with no one around.
If they were caught by tabloid journalists again, there’s no telling what nonsense they might write.
She instructed Lawyer Shen to handle the compensation as soon as possible, at the same time she told the driver and bodyguards to prepare to leave at any time. Her voice was cold, but her eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
This time... you win!
Soon after, with the negotiation between the two lawyers concluded, the three cars left the scene one after another.
Back at Nanjiang Villa, Yuan Min didn’t let Nanny Wu follow her any longer, went straight upstairs, and called Lai Jingshan.
"Find some time, I have something to talk about."
"I’ve already heard about the fire at Bo’ai... don’t worry, I’ll assist Zishen."
"It’s not that, we’ll talk in person."
"Then... how about tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, still the usual place, what do you think?" Lai Jingshan glanced towards the doorway and asked softly.
"Hmm, okay, see you tomorrow."
Yuan Min hung up, feeling more troubled.
Lai Jingshan’s voice was very soft on the phone just now, clearly he had concerns, but at the moment he was at the company looking at reports.
This was a completely different behavior from before.
However, Yuan Min thought it over and understood; after all, just last month Third Aunt Lai had been to the hospital once, which had given Lai Jingshan quite the scare.
"After all, they are a loving couple, and it’s only natural to have some concerns."
"Suspect us...of having an affair?"
"Wow, time flies, it’s been 20 years just like that!"
Yuan Min mumbled to herself as she walked over to the vanity and slowly sat down, picking up a brush.
The next morning, at the King Hotel in the T country.
"If you don’t wake up soon, your husband might just have to kiss you awake?"
They didn’t need to get up so early, but Tang Xiaowan emphasized repeatedly yesterday that she didn’t want to miss the sight of the King attending the sailing competition and had to be woken up at seven.
"Tangtang, Little Beauty, little rascal..."
Leng Lingxiao pinched Tang Xiaowan’s nose and called her several nicknames, but still couldn’t wake her up, not even a twitch of her eyelashes.
The two of them had been busy last night, but they hadn’t gone to bed late, so she should be awake by this time.
Leng Lingxiao felt a sudden pang of concern and slowly lay down beside Tang Xiaowan, "Why have you been so sleepy lately? Could it be...are you pregnant?"
Considering that Tang Xiaowan didn’t want to have children too early, Leng Lingxiao had always been careful in that regard.
They had been married for less than a month, and if she was accidentally pregnant, given his Little Wife’s temperament, she would likely chase after him, beating him and biting ferociously.
He glanced at the bite marks on his arm—fresh injuries from last night that he truly dared not provoke.
"Could it be...you caught a cold?"
Thinking this, he quickly felt his Little Wife’s forehead. After all, T country was much hotter than Jin City, and there were significant temperature differences indoors and outdoors.
Even with adequate heat prevention and cooling, it was still hard to ensure that one didn’t get overheated or catch a chill.
"Could it be...oh, perhaps you were too tense preparing for the exam, and now that it’s over...you’ve relaxed."
"Yeah, that must be it, right."
Just then, Tang Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes, looking at Leng Lingxiao with an expression of displeasure, "What are you muttering about early in the morning without sleeping?"
Leng Lingxiao smiled sheepishly, "You’re awake, hungry? Come on, get up, let’s go eat."
He dared not ask how much she had heard.
Then, he patiently waited for his Little Wife to wash up, and they went to the exclusive VIP restaurant together, quietly enjoying T country’s distinctive food.
The waitstaff served them respectfully.
"Eat more, today will be quite tiring," Leng Lingxiao gently reminded.
Tang Xiaowan nodded cheerfully.
Traveling abroad was great; no worries about paparazzi, no trouble with Li Zishen’s entanglements.
But, in this era of widespread internet, just as Tang Xiaowan raised her coconut juice to clink glasses with Leng Lingxiao, her phone suddenly blinked.
[Did you hear? Boxin Hospital had a fire last night, and the fire trucks were there.]
The message was from Chen Yu. She had been receiving treatment for a birthmark at Boxin and was particularly concerned about the situation there.
For this reason, she had made a special trip to check it out, and only after confirming that the cosmetic department was unaffected did she feel relieved.
The treatment could not be interrupted, and must not be affected!
"What’s wrong? Did the exam results come out?" seeing Tang Xiaowan’s troubled expression, Leng Lingxiao quickly smiled and pushed a baked durian towards her.
It had been only two days since the exams; it was impossible for results to come out so quickly. It was just an excuse.
He was sure it had something to do with the fire at Boxin.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaowan slowly put down her phone and looked at him steadily, "Huahua...was it you?"
Leng Lingxiao grinned mischievously, "Surprise?"
"What surprise?" Tang Xiaowan asked in astonishment, suspecting he called the incident a surprise to vent on her behalf.
"Oh, so you didn’t know?"
