Chapter 668: Five Million Compensation
The burn on his arm was aching slightly, but Xiang Zhimu was already numb, and no matter how painful it was, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
"In that case, let's get a divorce. After the divorce, I'll sign a compensation agreement with the landlord, and I'll pay the five million yuan back by myself."
Xiang Zhimu did not argue, but spoke softly.
At this point, the fact that the house burned down is a fact, and Li Jing's family can't and won't pay it back no matter what.
Since they felt it was her responsibility, she would take it on in exchange for her freedom.
Li Jing sacrificed his life to save her back then, and now she is solely responsible for the five million debt, so they no longer owe each other anything.
Li Jing didn't want to divorce, but now that things had come to this, it seemed like this was the only way.
His mother is still in the hospital. If she knew that their family owed five million in debt, her condition would definitely worsen.
"Zhi Mu, let's divorce first, but don't worry, I'll pay back the five million with you. In my heart, you'll always be my wife. We're just temporarily dissolving our legal relationship. You said you wouldn't leave me until my illness is cured."
I don't want to take on the debt, but I also don't want to let her go.
Li Jing, there is no such cheap thing in the world.
But I will still do what I promised.
Right now, as long as she can get a divorce, she doesn't want to have any more disputes with Li Jing's family.
But unexpectedly, Li Jing's father was admitted to the ICU.
Just a few minutes after she and Li Jing agreed on the divorce, Li Yue was pushed in on a stretcher with burns all over his body.
Li Jing panicked and chased after his father's stretcher, asking the doctor what was going on. Xiang Zhimu also followed.
The accompanying police officer stopped them and explained to them.
"When your father heard the house was on fire, he rushed in to look for his bank card, but the fire was so big that he was trapped in the bathroom. We only found him when we were cleaning up the scene."
The police looked at them with some regret: "He inhaled too much smoke and dust, and delayed the best time for rescue. I'm afraid he is in great danger."
"What do you mean?" Li Jing's eyes were red as he grabbed the police officer's collar and shouted angrily, "Missed the best time for rescue? Is this how you police officers shirk responsibility? If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have missed the rescue time."
"Li Jing, calm down. No one wants this to happen. Even the police and firefighters need time to search and rescue," Xiang Zhimu pulled Li Jing's arm and asked him to calm down.
But she was unexpectedly pushed away by Li Jing, who angrily shouted at her: "No one wants this to happen? Don't you? Xiang Zhimu, are you particularly happy now? If my parents get into trouble, you won't have your parents-in-law to bother you. Are you particularly happy in your heart? Have you been thinking about this day for a long time?"
Xiang Zhimu stared at the furious Li Jing in astonishment. He didn't even care about Leng Jun who suddenly appeared and held his waist to catch him. He just stared at Li Jing blankly with tears in his eyes: "Li Jing, what do you mean? Do you think I deliberately framed your parents?"
"I had an argument with your mother because she didn't use the range hood and the chili oil choked me. I couldn't stand it, so I went out and asked her to turn on the hair dryer. Then she argued with me and pushed me onto the gas stove."
Xiang Zhimu raised her forearm, which was almost completely bandaged, and pulled off the gauze directly, exposing her burnt skin in front of him. She looked at her so-called husband with red eyes.
"Look for yourself, it's not too much for me to go to the hospital with such a fever. Your mother didn't let me go because she was worried about the cost. When I tried to break free, she fell to the ground by herself. It had nothing to do with me. I didn't push her at all."
Seeing the bloody skin on Xiang Zhimu's arm, Li Jing was stunned and nervously stepped forward to take a look: "Zhimu, what's going on? Is it true? Was it my mother who pushed it?"
"You can ask your mother yourself," Xiang Zhimu pushed Leng Jun away and took a step back to keep some distance from Li Jing. "I'll go back and talk to the landlord first to see if the fever has spread to the neighbors. We can discuss the divorce after your father is out of the ICU."
Finally agreeing to divorce?
Leng Jun, who had been silent behind her, felt a stir in his heart and felt much better.
What a pleasant surprise.
He knew that even if he didn't do anything, their marriage would not last.
A villain like Li Jing who overestimates his own abilities and wants to climb up the social ladder will definitely be shattered in the end.
"Boss Leng, could you and Zhimu go check on her? I'm worried about her being alone."
Li Jing has now slowly calmed down.
He actually believed what Xiang Zhimu had just said.
Because he knew very well what kind of person his mother was.
But there are some things that cannot be solved by the truth.
Leng Jun came back to his senses from his ecstasy and realized that Xiang Zhimu had already left. He looked at Li Jing seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you. Guan Shinan has asked me to take good care of Zhimu."
Leng Jun appeared here because of Guan Shinan.
The subtle doubt in Li Jing's heart finally disappeared.
When Leng Jun caught up with him, Xiang Zhimu was hailing a taxi on the side of the road. The bandage she had just removed was tied around her arm, which gave him a headache.
She really didn't take the doctor's words to heart.
What if this leaves a scar?
He doesn't care, but as a girl, she will definitely regret it later.
"Get in the car, I'll take you there."
He walked over to him and took her good arm and said.
When Xiang Zhimu tried to struggle, he had already been pulled into the Bentley.
That's all.
Whatever.
Xiang Zhimu was in no mood to argue with him now, so he compromised and told him the address, then took out his cell phone to contact the landlord.
The landlord called directly to discuss compensation.
The landlord was usually very polite to her, but now that her house had been burned down, he spoke very rudely to her.
Xiang Zhimu accepted it all, apologized to the landlord in a gentle tone, and promised to raise the compensation as soon as possible.
Finally, the landlord sighed, "Xiao Xiang, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but I can't be the one who gets taken advantage of when something like this happens."
"There's still this compensation deadline. My son is getting married soon, and I need to buy him a new house quickly. I told you in advance that I would renovate this house by the end of the year. Now it's burned down, and we have to find another one. You know the current housing prices in the capital."
Xiang Zhimu: "This is originally my responsibility. Please don't feel any psychological burden. I understand. I will definitely give you the compensation this month. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
She apologized sincerely many times before hanging up the phone, then leaned back in her chair with a tired look on her face.
I don’t know if Nan Nan has five million. She is just a small actor now, and her salary is not as exaggerated as 2.08 million a day. Five million is a huge sum of money for her.
It is even more expensive for her.
If she doesn't ask Guan Shinan for help, who else can she borrow from?
Guan Shinan didn’t have any, so she probably had to borrow money from a loan shark.
