Chapter 442 Qiao Xi doesn’t rely on men

Sun Weimeng understood what he meant.

He immediately hugged the middle-aged man and howled, "Brother, we didn't say we wouldn't pay you! But isn't five hundred thousand too much? You're asking for too much!"

The middle-aged man looked fierce and said, "Five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand, not a penny less! Let go of me, don't hold me!"

Qiao Xi walked to the old lady's side, smiled gently, and put her hand on her body to feel her bones: "Old lady, let me help you up first. Can you still stand up?"

Bang!

The old lady slapped her hand away fiercely, making the back of Qiao Xi's hand red.

She said sarcastically, "I don't need your fake kindness! You rich people are all so heartless. You dress so well and drive such a nice car, but you're not willing to pay for my medical expenses!"

Qiao Xi half-closed her eyes, her pretty face looked cold and she stood up.

She nodded towards Sun Weimeng.

Sun Weimeng immediately let go of the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man pushed him hard impatiently!

Sun Weimeng let out an exaggerated pig-like squeal!

"Ah! My leg is broken! It hurts so much! You pushed me, you have to pay!" Young Master Sun rolled on the ground like a scoundrel. "You actually hit me? Young Master, my whole body is insured. Do you know how much it is worth?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't push you! You fell down by yourself, you were pretending!"

Sun Weimeng said aggrievedly, "I have delicate skin and tender flesh. I got hurt just by a casual push. How can you say I was faking it? I told your mother that she was faking it, but you refused to admit it."

The middle-aged man roared in anger, "You just don't want to take responsibility and pay the money! I'm going to post it online so everyone can see what the disciple of traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han looks like! Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I don't care about my reputation!"

Qiao Xi curled her red lips slightly, and a bit of anger rose in her heart.

She suppressed her anger and said, "We will pay for it."

Old Chen shouted in confusion, "Young Madam! How can you compensate me for this?"

It was obvious that I didn't hit anyone, so why did I suffer this loss by trying to keep quiet?

Sun Weimeng lay on the ground and forgot to wail.

He immediately stood up, pulled Qiao Xi and lowered his voice: "You are stupid, how can you afford 500,000 yuan! 500,000 yuan can last for many days in the club! He just relies on us because he thinks we are outsiders and are easy to bully!

I thought you wanted me to cheat and get away with it, and I even rolled on the ground a few times. Now that you're paying me, all my efforts were in vain, right?

Qiao Xi looked at the indignant Sun Weimeng and said, "Young Master Sun, you must believe that I will not let you roll around in vain. I would not be so stupid before I married into the Huo family. Besides, do I really look that stupid following Huo Xingzhou?"

Sun Weimeng met her eyes and was speechless for a moment.

As Huo Xingzhou's wife, she shouldn't be that stupid.

But is the point about him rolling around?

It’s all the fault of those damn people in the imperial capital, so cunning!

Qiao Xi turned around, looked at the middle-aged man and emphasized again: "We will pay compensation, you want 500,000, right?"

The middle-aged man seemed a little bit unbelievable at first. He didn't expect that money could come so easily.

But seeing Qiao Xi's fragile and pretty appearance, he quickly laughed until he deserved a beating: "It should have been like this earlier. I'm too lazy to argue with you all so much. At our age, if something happens, it will be a matter of life and death!"

"You're right. Human life is at stake."

Qiao Xi looked at him calmly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she said, "Give me your card number and I'll transfer the money to you right away. Five hundred thousand is a large amount, so it might take a few minutes to arrive. Let me know when it arrives."

"Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but take out his bank card and handed it to Qiao Xi.

He hadn't expected to have such a big harvest today. Last night, Young Master Lu said that he would give him 200,000 yuan as long as he performed a play, and any extra money he extorted would belong to him.

He looked at Qiao Xi with his cloudy and shrewd eyes. This young girl was so easy to deceive!

You still care too much about reputation!

At this time, the mentality of the passers-by also changed. Seeing the middle-aged man easily get 500,000, they felt jealous.

They all said that the old lady's injury didn't cost so much money and that the little girl had been cheated.

Why does the traditional Chinese medicine apprentice seem not very smart?

…

In a street cafe.

The wealthy young man sat with his legs crossed, sipping his coffee, his face full of pride as he watched the scene. "See, I told you she'd choose to keep quiet. No matter if she's Madam Huo or the disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han, she'll have to crawl on my territory!"

"Even Huo Xingzhou, who stirred up trouble in Haicheng, is just a worm in the imperial capital. Everyone knows his ambition to establish a foothold in the imperial capital's business empire, but after so much effort, there's not much progress. It's nothing! Tianyuan Group's desire to enter the imperial capital is simply a foolish dream!"

Lu Yan took another sip of coffee with great satisfaction. Today's coffee tasted sweet.

He is Lu Yingxue's cousin and the instigator of this farce.

Sitting opposite him was Xiang Huai's second brother Xiang Ze.

He was obviously calm and calculating, and spoke softly: "Lu Yan, I don't think Huo Xingzhou's woman can be so stupid! The Huo family is rich, but five hundred thousand can't be wasted casually."

Lu Yan sneered, "Xiang Ze, don't overestimate women! How many women can compare to my cousin Lu Yingxue? This Qiao Xi may be the daughter of the Liu family, but she grew up in the countryside and hasn't seen much of the world. She'll be timid after just a few threats. Our imperial capital isn't a shallow pool where any small shrimp can stir up trouble!"

Xiang Ze said, "Then let's wait and see."

He looked at the farce outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

The woman looked pretty and weak, but Xiang Ze always remembered that his younger brother Xiang Huai and his younger sister Xiang Mingzhu had both suffered at her hands.

Apprentices of traditional Chinese medicine do not only rely on men.

She is a capable person.

It was just that Huo Xingzhou's brilliance was too bright and accidentally obscured her.

…

Outside the cafe.

Qiao Xi has transferred 500,000 yuan to the man's account.

The man was delighted to hear the notification of money arriving. After all his years, this was the first time he'd realized how easy it was to make money. It turned out that most rich people were naive, always thinking of using money to solve their problems.

Qiao Xi's lips were red and rosy, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear but seemed to be surging with a dark color: "Did you receive the money?"

"Got it. You're lucky this time to meet someone as easy to talk to as me." The middle-aged man turned around and was about to help the old lady up and leave.

The warmth on Qiao Xi's face disappeared instantly, replaced by indifference.

"Wait."

A clear female voice sounded.

The middle-aged man said impatiently, "What else do you want? Are you going to regret it? I'm telling you, the money is already in my pocket, don't even think about taking it back."

Qiao Xi smiled faintly, her delicate face radiant and beautiful: "Did I let you go just like that?"
