"After all, Yang Wei did it to help your mother. Alright, I’ll tell them to withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow. Xiaojue, you’ve done so much for , and I haven’t done much for you. I can never repay the kindness you’ve shown . Consider this one last thing I can do for you."
He roared, "It’s not about Yang Wei!!! I don’t care about Yang Wei!"
Why would he be here because of Yang Wei? He’d completely forgotten about that whole affair. If he saw Yang Wei, he’d give him a severe beating. It was because of this strong urge that he’d been restraining himself from going to the hospital. The mont he went, he knew he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from hitting him.
"Other than Yang Wei, I can’t do anything else. Xiaojue, this is all I can do."
Yang Wei deserved it.
But his voice was hoarse, and he couldn’t say anything.
"Xiaojue, I know you’ve been very good to and have sacrificed a lot. But that day, I was so furious I lost control. I’m also very sorry for hitting your mother. I apologize to you..."
Her voice was cold, her words like knives.
No, Xixi, I’m not here for you to apologize. I’m the one who should apologize to you—no, that’s not it either. There are so many things more important than an apology... But all he could hear was ’your mother,’ ’your mother,’ ringing in his ears.
Aren’t you here just for this issue? she thought.
Because of this, Huang Xiaojue’s parents ca to the store several tis. His aunt ca too.
Whether they ca to apologize or beg for rcy... weren’t they all just trying to get to let Yang Wei off? Back at the police station, they were so arrogant, so overbearing, so united... Now they co begging for rcy, just as uniformly.
"Xiaojue, I know you and your cousin are very close. Alright, go back and tell him I’m withdrawing the lawsuit."
He just stared at her blankly.
This was the first ti he had heard her speak so harshly.
Because all her resentnt, consuming her entirely, had found no release—until now, when it finally found its intended target.
How could she refrain from uttering harsh words?
Even if she tried to appear calm, her words only beca more scathing.
She desperately needed to vent.
Xu Xiaoya had asked, "Aren’t you lonely in the hotel all by yourself?"
Actually, I am! Very lonely!
Especially in the first few days after the fight, she couldn’t even think about the hotel. She spent all day worrying about how to deal with the exorbitant extortion. She even felt a deep fear—the fear of being abandoned and hurt by everyone in the world.
Huang Xiaojue, you’ll never know what that feels like.
"Has your mother been discharged from the hospital? Her injuries probably haven’t fully healed yet. You know what they say, ’a serious injury takes a hundred days to nd.’ She’s an older woman, after all. You should go back and take care of her."
He said urgently, "Xixi, can we please talk this out properly?"
"There’s nothing to talk about. Xiaojue, it’s getting late. I’m leaving."
He grabbed her arm.
She said calmly, "If your mother’s dical expenses aren’t enough, call Xu Xiaoya. She’ll make sure they’re paid. I started this, and I’ll compensate fully..."
Then, she pushed him away.
As if he were chasing her for the dical expenses.
He grabbed her again.
She suddenly laughed, a faint, indifferent sound. "Huang Xiaojue, are you not going to let go? You won’t leave until you get the money, right? Fine, I’ll give it to you! How much more do you want?"
As she spoke, she reached for her wallet. "Is fifty thousand enough? Or a hundred thousand? How much more money does your mother need for her treatnt? Just na your price. Be quick about it, and I’ll pay it all in one go!"
