"Ha, she actually offered to break up with our son? Isn’t this great news?"
"Didn’t you create this whole ss hoping for this exact mont? Well, has your wish co true now?"
Mother Huang was overjoyed. "Haha, this is more than I could have hoped for! Letting that woman into our family would have been a disgrace to the Huang family ancestors."
Father Huang coldly retorted, "I advise you not to celebrate too soon. Now that Yan Xixi has broken up with our son, there’s no reason for her to show any rcy. Your precious nephew is definitely going to jail this ti."
"On what grounds?"
"Old woman, haven’t you seen the dical report yet? Yang Wei only has superficial injuries. It’s clear they intended to make him suffer, but not kill him. He’ll be mostly recovered in a month or two, and then all that awaits him is imprisonnt."
"How is that possible? They beat him up that badly, and yet Yang Wei is the one going to jail? Is there no justice in this world? That bitch Yan Xixi shouldn’t think she can call all the shots just because she has so lover by her side. If she dares to get my nephew imprisoned, I won’t let her get away with it! Hiring a lawyer, is that it? If she can afford one, can’t we? I’ll pay for Yang Wei’s legal costs. This isn’t about what we stand to gain; it’s a matter of principle..."
SLAP! A heavy hand struck her face.
Mother Huang was stunned.
The aunt eavesdropping at the ward door was stunned too.
Mother Huang had always been formidable. In her youth, she was renowned as one of the most beautiful won in the area. After marrying Old Huang, who doted on her, she had never worried about her material needs. Old Huang was an engineer; he was exceptionally skilled and diligent, eventually becoming a senior engineer. He was rehired after retirent and earned a very good inco. For years, Mother Huang had lived a life of ease. She had taken a buyout of her employnt years ago and hadn’t worked since, spending her days at ho on leisure, fashion, and personal care. Later, when their son beca successful, the family transitioned from rely well-off to the affluent middle class. Consequently, she was always adorned in designer brands and enjoyed what seed like an endless stream of good fortune.
But in her queen-like existence, when had her husband ever struck her like this?
And this slap was no light tap; half of her face was already slightly swollen and throbbed with fiery pain.
Old Huang said sternly, "Are you still going to defend Yang Wei? Defend what? Do you have any sense of sha at all? If I hadn’t personally gone to the shop today to watch the surveillance footage, I would still be deceived by your lies! You keep insisting Yan Xixi hit you. But what about Yang Wei’s lewd advances and robbery? You had the audacity to just stand by and watch? You even aided that villain! Who is Yan Xixi? She’s the woman your son loves most! Even if you don’t like her, even if you consider her an outsider, on what grounds do you dare to bully people by throwing your weight around like this? Just who are you relying on?
"And what about all these dical bills? Didn’t I already pay when I took you to the hospital? Why are there so many new bills now? Were you and your nephew really that badly injured? Did you really need that much money? You’re clearly trying to extort soone! And who are you trying to extort? Your son’s fiancée! Have you no sha at all? Well, now that you’re so fond of hospital stays, they’re going to let your nephew stay for life. How about that? Perhaps you’d like to join him for life too?
"Go ahead and make a scene if you want. Act the shrew if you must. I won’t care about you even if you decide to stay there for a lifeti."
This ti, the hospital fees were genuinely paid in full—stay as long as you like!
According to Zhang Xiang, if this isn’t enough for you, they can arrange another ’package deal’—they’re perfectly capable of dishing out another beating worth hundreds of thousands more.
