PA Wen nodded and took the cheque book out of his pocket. He signed a cheque for three hundred thousand dollars and handed it to the man.
The man happily took it but when he raised his head, his hands shook.
“Gu, Gu Juexi—” The man’s voice trembled. By the time he raised his head to speak, Gu Juexi had brought all of them away.
“Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand! Hubby, you should have asked for more,” the fat woman spoke excitedly.
She did not expect a slap from her husband.
“Are you blind? That was Gu Juexi. Do you know who you just pissed off? Lu Qichuan’s daughter. B City’s top lawyer, Lu Qichuan’s daughter. You still want to sue him? He will retaliate and sue us to death.”
That little girl called Gu Juexi ‘uncle’. On this earth, the only person who would call Gu Juexi Uncle would be the daughter of Lu Qichuan, the man realized and fell to the ground. As he was grieving, he received a call from his company. After his director thoroughly and humiliatingly lectured him, he was immediately fired.
As the small group left the hospital, Ye Yuwei hugged the still unhappy Xiao Yaojing.
“Why did we have to give them money?” Xiao Yaojing was still pissed off.
“It’s for their corpses. You’d still have to leave them some money for the coffins,” Ye Yuwei tried to cheer her up. “Gu Juexi wouldn’t let anyone off easy. Don’t think of him as a saint, okay?”
Xiao Yaojing was quiet for a while.
Seemed logical.
“I’ve finally witnessed it today, what they call ugly from the inside out. There’s not one good person in the entire family,” Xiao Yaojing barked angrily.
“There there, ancestor, you’re the only good person here, okay?” PA Wen hurriedly said. “A squabble between kids and you just had to step in.”
“Wen Tao, what the heck is wrong with you today?” Xiao Yaojing had been admonished by Wen Tao a few times and it was becoming unpleasant.
Ye Yuwei faked a smile looking at those two. She let go of Xiao Yaojing’s shoulder. “Sichen isn’t in a good mood, why not we skip eating out today?”
Xiao Yaojing nodded. She did not have the mood to eat out either.
Gu Juexi carried Lu Sichen into the car. He turned back and told PA Wen to send Xiao Yaojing home, then asked Ye Yuwei to get in the car. This time, Ye Yuwei did not sit at the front passenger seat but chose to accompany Lu Sichen at the back.
After Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei left, Xiao Yaojing tilted her head and asked, “When did these two make up?”
“If I let you know, would they still be able to make up?” PA Wen blurted out, and was chased around by Xiao Yaojing and kicked a few times as a result.
“Enough, enough. I’ll send you home first,” PA Wen hurriedly spoke and then opened the door for Xiao Yaojing. After Xiao Yaojing got into the car, she suddenly thought of something. As she turned back, she almost knocked into PA Wen who was still standing there.
PA Wen was startled. The distance between them was so small, their breaths mingled.
PA Wen hurriedly took a step back and coughed softly.
Xiao Yaojing was also startled. After seeing PA Wen back off, she said, “What? It’s not like I’m taking advantage of you. It’s like you’re hiding from something.”
PA Wen looked away. He was afraid. Afraid that he would lose control and take advantage of her instead.
“What did you want to say to me?” PA Wen quickly changed the topic.
“Oh. I wanted to tell you to handle Sichen’s matters from now on,” Xiao Yaojing said and got into the car.
It was not because she felt that her methods in handling things were questionable, but because she did not want to continue having any interactions with Lu Qichuan. She would never move on then.
