Yang Yunqing and her mother looked at Yang Xiaoyu helplessly.
Then, Yang's mother coughed lightly and briefly explained what had happened yesterday to Yang Xiaoyu.
After learning the whole story, Yang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Feng with disdain: "Oh, so you're here as a mediator? What conditions did they offer? This is a serious crime! They won't accept less money!"
Ye Feng's dislike for Yang Xiaoyu had reached its peak.
He really wanted to leave immediately.
But considering that Yang Xiaoyu was ultimately fighting for Yang Yunqing's interests, he held back.
Whether the 100,000 yuan Jiang Yanqing prepared can satisfy Yang Xiaoyu's appetite depends on luck.
Feng Xiaoqian has only himself to blame; if he hadn't harbored ill intentions, he wouldn't have gotten into this trouble at all.
However, given Yang Xiaoyu's greed, 100,000 yuan is probably not enough.
Ye Feng, too lazy to waste any more words with him, asked directly, "How many do you want?"
Yang's mother opened her mouth as if to say something, but Yang Xiaoyu grabbed her arm.
"Mom! Don't mention the price first! Let them state their terms first!" Yang Xiaoyu whispered a reminder, his eyes fixed on Ye Feng.
At this moment, in Yang Xiaoyu's eyes, Ye Feng was just a lamb to the slaughter.
When Yang's mother was pulled by her son, she was at a loss and looked to Yang Xiaoyu for help.
Yang Xiaoyu cleared his throat, adopting a negotiating stance: "How much compensation will they offer? This is an accomplice, a serious crime! If we don't forgive him, he can just wait to go to jail!"
Ye Feng took out the bank card Jiang Yanqing had given him from his pocket and placed it on the table: "100,000. If you are willing to settle, I can act as a mediator."
One hundred thousand yuan is nothing to Ye Feng now, but for Jiang Yanqing, it may be all her savings.
Ye Feng knew that Jiang Yanqing had a difficult time, which is why he did his best to facilitate a reconciliation.
Yang Xiaoyu grabbed his mother's hand as she reached for the bank card, and sneered, "One hundred thousand? Are you trying to fob me off? Six hundred thousand! Not a penny less!"
He glanced at Ye Feng sideways, his tone full of suspicion: "I bet you've embezzled a lot of money! Don't try to fool us!"
Yang's mother hesitated, glancing at her son and then at Ye Feng, clearly influenced by Yang Xiaoyu's words.
Ye Feng was almost amused by this absurd logic. He embezzled it? What was he after?
At this moment, Yang Yunqing couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to defend Ye Feng: "Xiaoyu! Ye Feng isn't that kind of person!"
Yang Xiaoyu immediately retorted, "Sis! You're too trusting! Who knows what he's up to!"
Yang Yunqing was speechless for a moment.
Ye Feng suppressed his anger. He took out another bank card from another pocket and placed it on the table: "This is the client's greatest sincerity, a total of two hundred thousand."
Yang's mother's lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Yang Xiaoyu stared intently at Ye Feng, his eyes full of calculation. He felt that Ye Feng was definitely concealing the actual amount of compensation, trying to profit from it.
Ye Feng felt a wave of annoyance when he saw Yang Xiaoyu's gaze.
"Alright then, since you don't trust me, let's talk to the person involved directly."
He took out his phone and dialed Jiang Yanqing's number. "Ms. Jiang, could you come over here? I'm at Yang Yunqing's house."
Yang's mother was surprised, but Yang Xiaoyu looked suspicious: "What? You've been preventing us from meeting directly before, afraid of giving ourselves away, haven't you?"
Ye Feng sneered and ignored him. He knew that any further explanation would be futile at this point.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yanqing appeared at the door carrying a bag of nutritional supplements.
She smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry I'm late."
The atmosphere inside the room was heavy. Jiang Yanqing sensed something was wrong and looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.
Did things not go well?
Yang Xiaoyu, however, sized Jiang Yanqing up and down before speaking first: "You're the wife of that person involved? The family member of the suspect who caused my sister's injury?"
Jiang Yanqing frowned slightly, feeling displeased, but she held back.
After all, we've come here today to seek peace.
Yang Xiaoyu said arrogantly, "I am the victim's brother. It's no use talking to others about this. I have full authority to make the decision."
Jiang Yanqing tried to remain calm: "Hello, I am Jiang Yanqing. I came here specifically to apologize to you. Actually, Lao Feng and Ye Feng are also friends. This matter is really a misunderstanding."
As she spoke, she placed the nutritional supplements on the table.
"Misunderstanding?" Yang Xiaoyu sneered. "Don't mention Ye Feng, his influence doesn't matter here."
Jiang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, her gaze falling on Ye Feng.
Has the negotiation really broken down?
Yang Xiaoyu smiled dismissively: "Hey lady, you can talk to me about compensation. It has nothing to do with him."
As he spoke, he pointed at Ye Feng with his chin.
Jiang Yanqing suddenly understood. So that's how it is! He didn't distrust Ye Feng at all; he simply wanted more compensation! He was deliberately excluding Ye Feng because the amount Ye Feng offered wasn't satisfactory!
She quickly gathered her thoughts and calmed herself: "Okay, how would you like to discuss this? How much do you want?"
Yang Xiaoyu looked up at her, his eyes full of calculation: "First, prove that you are indeed a family member of that suspect, right? Otherwise, when you talk about compensation, who knows if you're just here to cause trouble?"
Jiang Yanqing was even more displeased, but she still suppressed her emotions: "Of course I am! You can check my marital relationship with Lao Feng as you please."
Yang Xiaoyu finally felt relieved and leaned back on the sofa: "Since you want to settle this privately, then show your utmost sincerity. Tell me, how much money can you offer at most?"
His tone was arrogant, as if he were bestowing a handout.
Jiang Yanqing clenched her fists secretly, but now was not the time to act impulsively.
"We are willing to cover all of Ms. Yang's medical expenses, lost wages, and all other expenses incurred as a result of this incident. In addition, we will provide an extra 100,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress."
"Only 100,000?" Yang Xiaoyu looked surprised, as if he had heard something unbelievable. "That's even less than what Ye Feng said earlier! Big sister, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
He glanced at Jiang Yanqing sideways, his tone full of suspicion.
Jiang Yanqing was also stunned. She subconsciously turned to look at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, did you give all the money in that card?"
Ye Feng nodded.
Jiang Yanqing turned around and looked helplessly at Yang Xiaoyu, "The money Ye Feng gave us is all the money I have, and it's our greatest sincerity."
Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand impatiently, interrupting her, "Alright, alright, stop with this nonsense. Just tell me how much compensation you can get! I don't believe that guy's lies."
Jiang Yanqing's heart instantly filled with anger. Ye Feng had fought for their best interests, but this mother and son not only showed no gratitude, but also repeatedly made things difficult for them.
Her tone turned cold. "I was hoping to have a proper talk, but since this is your attitude, I have nothing more to say. One hundred thousand, that's the maximum amount we can offer."
